Christmas Glam

I anticipate four Christmas collections each year: Chanel, Dior, Shu Uemura and Bobbi Brown. For 2013, I need a nice holiday polish. It has to be warm, sensual and glamourous. 

Chanel 2013 - Nuit Infinie de CHANEL


Nail - 677 Rouge Rubis: CHANEL's great at introducing red nail polishes, warm, rich and direct

Although I’m only focusing on nail polish this year, the eyeshadow palette (Ombres Matelassees de CHANEL - charming) is perfect for smoky eyes this year. It contains five shades: beige, bronze, violet, plum ... for endless combinations.

Recipes to try for December

Gourmet Grilled Cheese

  1. Spread 1 tsp honey an a slice of multi-grain bread. Top with 1/4 cup grated aged cheddar, thinly sliced red onion and apply. Top with another 1/4 cup grated cheddar, then sandwich with another bread slice. Brush top and bottom with 1 tbsp melted butter. 
  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Cook, flipping halfway through, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted (6 min)
Pair this with a easily made parsley salad and a local Riesling (i.e. Inniskillin Late Autumn Riesling, Ontario)

Hint: try a different kinds of fruit / vegetable every time

Golden Horse's 50

Founded in 1962, Taipei Golden Horse, as an anchor in Chinese film industry, celebrated its 50th year today.

My favourite part for every film festival is the Red Carpet. You can tell the trend just by looking at every actresses' look.
Amber Guo - Although I love her red lips, the silver clutch and the gold bracelets don't match along. A simple diamond one would do.

Cherry Ngan - The colour champaign absolutely defines the word - elegance well

Isabel Marant for H&M II

Isabel Marant for H&M will be launched tomorrow. 

Travel in Style

Everyone loves travelling. However, the lengthy plane rides are always the nightmares during the trips. Most of my flights are between two countries, usually from two different continents. Thus, I usually stay on the plane over eight hours.

It's normal that you worry about how you look and how to keep fresh. There are three keys to follow for plane rides: Cute, Comfy and Chic.

Isabel Marant for H&M

Each year, H&M corporates one of the most trendy and fashionable designers and produces a fabulous crossover line. Personally, I love the ones with Versace the most so far. It's the very opportunity for you to enjoy luxurious designs and qualities with H&M prices. (The Versace dresses are 100% silk made.)

Founded in 1994 in France, Isabel Marant has integrated her enriched exotic experiences into her designs. Her slim pants, sheer tees and draped minis are to-die-for. They are chic and unique.

Since the Isabel Marant for H&M collection leaked in September, anticipations from fans have been piling up. Here are few sexy and bohemian looks:

Wool cardigan, £79.99; leather trousers, £179.99; top, £59.99; boots, £149.99

Jacket, £199.99; trousers, £69.99, T-shirt, £24.99, mid-heel pumps, £99.99
