BABYSITTING A PRINCESS/

KIDS ARE HEAVY TO CARRY...//
BUT HANGING OUT WITH THEM LIGHTENS THE LOAD ON MY SHOULDERS

带小孩子负荷很重。。。//
但跟他们相处可以释放我肩上的压力

MEGAN IS ADORABLE.
AFTER A LONG DAY AT WORK... I TOOK HER TO THE PLAYROOM AND HAD SO MUCH FUN. SINGING DISNEY SONGS AND PLAYING IMAGINARY PRINCESS HIGH-TEA.

梅根很可爱。
工作了一整天。。。我把她带到游戏室，玩得很开心。唱着迪士尼的歌和玩着假象的公主下午茶。

SOMEONE WONDERFUL GAVE ME A TON OF SOUR PATCH KIDS.

BEEN SUCKING THE SOUR COATING OFF AND CAUSING THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE.

THESE HAREM  PANTS WERE ODD.

I LIKED THEM THOUGH.

某个很好的人给了我一大堆SOUR PATCH KIDS糖果。

一直在吮着那酸酸的外层，导致上腭有严重的损伤。

这些伊斯兰裤子很奇异。

但我喜欢。

//TRAVEL/ SYDNEY AQUARIUM//

/HINT- WHEN IT GROWS CALM AFTER AN EXCITING RIDE, IT'S TIME TO START WORRYING/

LOCATION/ Sydney Aquarium, AUSTRALIA

/提示-当让人兴奋的旅行它渐渐平静下来，那就是要开始担心的时候了/

地点/澳洲悉尼水族馆

 

IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS going to the Aquarium appreciating creatures who live in a different element us.  It's AMAZING to see them glide through the water effortlessly, I could spend HOURS in front of that viewing window. Part of me wonders if they look at us in the same way, "Look at those ugly peach-colored things walking on really awkward-looking things."  The best thing about the aquarium are those tiny signs which tell you about the species, habits and nature of each creature. 
eg. //CROCODILE/Agressive/ Meat-eating/ Tropical places//

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THE SAME THING FOR PEOPLE?
//INTRIGUING IDEA... WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE SORT HUMANS INTO DIFFERENT SPECIES?//.
/MALE/QUESTIONABLE BEHAVIOR//

去水族馆欣赏住在跟我们不同自然环境的生物是我喜欢做的其中一件事。看着它们不费力气地穿梭很令人惊异的，我可以花很多个小时蹲在视窗前面。一部分的我想知道如果它们用同样眼光看我们，“看那些丑陋的桃色的东西在非常奇怪的东西上走来走去。”水族馆最好的地方是那些小小的牌子，告诉你关于每一种生物的品种，习性和特质。

例如。//鳄鱼/侵略性的/肉食/热带地方//

我们为什么不可以有一样的东西呢？

我很想悉尼和跟我一起的小朋友们。

我享受简单。把它给我。

 

Second day at Fashion Week

Wearing: Arnsdoft cape, Vivienne Tam heels, Jimmy Choo tote, Project Eyewear sunnies

Location: Sydney, Australia

穿着：Arnsdoft斗篷，Vivienne Tam高跟鞋，Jimmy Choo手提包，Project Eyewear墨镜

地点：澳洲悉尼

 

Second day and I am already feeling super tired.  Lots and lots of shows and more importantly, lots of delays, which means lots of standing around waiting.  Surprisingly, it's getting very cachilly, Seattle-ish weather which makes me miss home a lot....

只是第二天，但我已经觉得好累。很多很多的秀，更重要的事，很多延迟，那表示很多的站着等候。意外地，这里开始转冷，像西雅图的天气让我很想家。。。 

Love these dainty little street in the suburbs.  Had coffee at a coffee shop down the road and just wanted to sit in the sun forever! I am too tired to post about the shows I saw and sort through all the photos of things I took that I liked.  So... I will do that tomorrow after I have seen even MORE. :)

爱在郊区秀丽的小街道。在一家咖啡店里享受咖啡，指向永远坐在阳光下！因为我太累了，现在不能上传我看了的秀和把我喜欢的照片分类。所以。。。我会在明天看更多以后上传。:)

P.S. These amazing sunglasses saved my lifet, the sun is GLARING in Australia.

It's beautiful!

Need sleep.... 

P.S. 这奇妙的墨镜救了我一命，澳洲的阳光猛烈得很。很漂亮！

需要睡觉。。。

Going Neutral

Wearing: Elly dress, Balenciaga Tote, Project Eyewear glasses, Vivienne Tam platform heels

Like most people, I tend to gravitate towards darker colors like black, black and sometimes black.  Recently though, I have been trying to experiment with different color combinations, tending to step towards the ligter side.  I find that greys, plum-beige and brown tinted colors work well with almost everyone.  Hence, today's dress... short, floaty and girly.

To keep it from becoming as ungirly as possible, I always throw on chunky jewelry.  A recent favorite is this chunky silver necklace my friend sourced for me.  It's really heavy and carries a bit of weight to it but I think the robotic like qualities makes the outfit less Quaint Mary?

This pair of sunnies are the best every.  I like the fact that it comes in a rather odd color, allowing me to mingle with the vegetation and also the fact that it covers HALF my face.  Best of all, super light-weight.  My friend, Alfred designs these himself and I suggest checking out his store for one-of-a-kind frames.  I never worry about wearing the same one as the girl standing next to me on the train....

Big sunnies rock, do you have yours yet?

Bailing on a Friday night

Wearing: Burberry knit sweater, Vivienne Tam heels, Prada clutch, Nafnaf chiffon top

This was the outfit I chose to wear after my long and hard deliberation with myself.  I couldn't bring myself to wear some snazzy pleasy flappers dress when I actually have to go to work and thought that dressing like a party girl in broad daylight was hardly tasteful.  Pulled out my favorite Burberry knitwear, had it for years on end and it's just super comfy.  The more I wear it, the more it grows on me.  Got these Vivienne Tam chunky heels yesterday.  Saw them on the shelf and just had to have them.... they are just so perfect.  They are really easy to wear and just have a sturdy air about them.  I could run a maranthon in them and not get a blister.. ( pushing it a bit, but you get my love for these new shoes....)

At the end of the day, didn't end up going to the Armani party because I wanted to hang out with my baby cousin before I leave for Japan and missed out on her childhood memories.  Took another look at my calendar and 4 store openings, 2 food-tasting, 1 art gallery opening and 2 art concepts next week seemed like enough work for me! I still need to go to Tods to take a look at my bag!  Lucky I didn't dress up for nothing.  Had friends there and told me that it was like every Friday night in Hong Kong.  Loud, obnoxious and just so Hong Kong. 

Ha. Can you tell I am a party pooper?  Just to reinstate that fact, last time I said I was going to go out on night of delicious fun, there are an appointment list.  My friends called each other and said something like, "Guess who is rolling tonight? Valerie." "Damn, I am going to call (names, names, names.... xxxx) Then, I get a phone call back, "Hey Val, you are sure you are going out? Party of 20 coming as well."

Anyways, that night when the party of 20 was going to coming out for a night of Dom Dom, loud music and sweaty dancing, it ended in something like this. 

9:00 pm: "Errr... Candace... I got to finish my proposals."

FAIL. I have great friends that don't get mad.  :)

Anyways.... look what Pedder Red sent me... in my email.  It became my wanted item for Christmas, just when I thought I didn't have anything!! They are perfect for me to go to Japan in.  Who said snow gear couldn't be stylish? I think they are kinda chunky and cute.  Dope. Think I would take the grey one to not overskill on the whole indian, fringes and fur trend.  Overload....

oooh yes... before I forget again!... this something I wrote for the Karmaloop Women's Section!
