By merely staring at the scene you would not believe it is someplace you could find on earth， at least not somewhere you can drive for two hours from the capitol city. This looks like a serene alien planet with totally flat water bed made of pure white salt. Empowered by the grand forces of mother nature, I would like just to be humbled under a simple black dress, listen, learn, esteem, and appreciate simply the state of being.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July guys!

Hey everyone, Happy long weekend! Hope you guys all find someway to relax yourselves from busy lifestyles. I have been away for a while working on a secret project and I hope one day I would be able to share with you.
The outfit I am sharing today is lace embroidered top. This is a special piece that shows a lot of personality and I layered it over a white overall for a simple finish. If you are looking for a versatile special piece that has the flexibility to mix and match within your wardrobe, a lace embroidered top will not disappoint you.
Whatever you love, keep trying, reflecting, and trying again!

Here you go guys the outfit I wore to the cherry blossoms at Tidal Basin in Washington DC: beige wide cropped pants, gathered round neck leather Jacket, white round neck silk shirt and a pair of Chelsea boots. I finished the look by accessorizing with pale pink clutch and a hot pink oversized Pearl ring. Hope you guys are all getting your spring outfits ready and planning for field trips and garden visits. Share with me what are you planning to wear!
So I’m back. I cannot express how much I missed typing in front of my computer writing for you guys. A lot to catch up! I would reach out to you guys out there soon for drinks and little talks. If you have the same idea, don't let the grass grow under your feet! I just want to say that I am so happy to be back. Whoop!
Cut to the chase - I am introducing the white notched collar coat, a warm alternative to any spring light jackets that would not protect you from the cold spring in New York. I styled my alpaca hair and wool coat with a white turtleneck, a pair of beige leather pants, and white block peep toe heels. For you early spring adopters, the white coat look can get you the feel of warm weather without compromising your need to survive the procrastinating New York winter. Now get on streets with your warm white coat and feel great amongst dark heavy walking down garments!
As you organize your closet you will find that a pair of comfortable and stylish sneaker is one thing you do not want missing, for we all have to walk sometimes! I want to be 100 percent focused on having a good time with my friend when I am out without worrying about my shoes hurting my feet. So invest time and money on this and you will be rewarded on finding how often and good you feel every time you go out for a walk in the park or go shopping.
Similarly if you think about it you realize it does take lots of time and effort on organizing and planning daily life so it goes your way. As you are reading this I think you are probably a caring and curious person who is looking to hear new ideas and being open minded. Any positive changes in life start with a frustration you are experiencing. So if you noticed, start to take actions and make it serve your goal. If organizing your closet and being able to appear your best is your plan, I have a good read for you listed blow. So basically start to cut away things you don’t love and really keep the ones you do! It sounds pretty obvious but is very hard to put into practice, and might take several tries before you see progress. I don’t know how many of you are still keeping the sweater that you have not wore for two years in a row? Start to think and practice today and you are already one step closer to be surrounded with all the things you love and would wear out without a second thought!
Hey I think today I would like to share with you some routines that my body really appreciates. So in the morning I squeeze a quarter of fresh lemon into my water glass, mix it with the same amount of honey with water, and drink it before breakfast. This really helps to clear up your skin and give you a fresh start of the day. Also I have found a great gift from nature that I simply cannot live a day without - coconut oil. I cook with it, use it to condition my hair, mix it with my eye cream liner and use it as a waterproof makeup remover. It is so healthy for your body, nutritious to your hair, and gentle on your skin. Finally the ceramide hair conditioner treatment is a treasure I find from my favorite hair salon in New York. My hair feels so silky after each treatment even after coloring and curling irons.
The outfit for the day is splashed jersey maxi paired with blush blazer, vintage pink clutch, beaded chain crescent moon necklace, and light blush slides.
Thank you all for reading and sharing your thoughts with me. I really appreciate what you have commented and suggested.
And Happy Mother’s day to the most supportive and amazing mom of the world! I love you! 亲爱的妈妈母亲节快乐！
It is the season of blossoming in central park. I took a walk with my friend through the Park and saw flowers in yellow, white, purple, and magenta this past Sunday. If you are an Alice in Wonderland fan, you must be familiar with the song “ Paint the Roses Red”. We were marveling at the power of nature while humming the song imaging we were walking the maze of Alice’s dreamland. It was a fun moment!
Our trail leaded us to the giant cherry tree located near east side by 72nd St. It was the most tranquil moment with the grasses in freshest green, the cherry flowers in the softest pink, and the sky blue in the shades of the deep sea under the sun. The rest of the afternoon was filled with snacks from the Plaza, window-shopping along 5th avenue, and I find the most amazing candle scent, with soy-based perfume infused ingredient. It is skin safe so you can use it as a solid perfume. Light it for 15 minutes and you will be at a place of serendipity!
Yesterday my friend and I got some chips, guacamole, coconut water and watermelon from Wholefoods at Columbus circle and we walked pass these early spring bicyclers, and carriages in purple, orange and pink decorated with flowers. Deeply into the park we walked through trails surrounded by bridges, grass fields, and occupied by the folk artists who paint you portraits. Soon we felt the urge to seat down when we saw a big rock facing the baseball field. It was a beautiful afternoon filled with the breeze of grass and trees and sight of relaxing happy faces walking by!
We were talking and sharing stories and ideas, and there was something I would like to share with you guys. We spend so much time learning about the world outside that there is little time reserved to look inside and try to understand our inner self. We are all born a certain way and it is important to know about yourself for you to make wise decisions in life. You can find a personality test here. I feel I learned more about myself spending 30 min reading my result than living with myself for the past twenty plus years! If you have not done it, be sure to check it out! It is fascinating read enjoyed with a cup of honey lemon tea!
Spring is really a good time to work on cleaning your body, mind, and even wardrobe - really be present and let go of things you don’t need. Instead of throwing out, you can sell, recycle, and donate your items here. It really helps to sustain the environment on account we are using 65 million tons of fibers every year!
Our environment is also utilizing spring for cleansing. The rains in the city can be dirty and annoying. But I am anticipating one of these rainy days occasionally just to wear out these boots. It also comes with fleece socks that you can utilize for the cold winter times. It is the reason for singing in the rain without worrying about your new pair of flats getting ruined!
I cannot believe it has been a while since I said bye to days as a fashion student. Ohh farewell nights at the studio with take out foods, threads all over, and giggling all nighters with the silliest friends in the world. Alas!
Coming to New York was not what I was thinking of growing up in the countryside. What I can remember was the mountains and rivers my mom and dad took me endless weekends in the fields picking up wild mushrooms, flying a giant swallow kite that I painted and my grandpa crafted by hand, flying myself to the top of the eaves on the swing hanged to the grape trellis in the front yard, and ate every cucumber that just came out from the flowers in the little garden. Oh boy I am missing the good old days already just by writing about them.
What are your favorite memories so far, anyone?
