Still bearing gifts

Wearing: Zara oversized shirt, unknown ruffle shorts, Doc Martens

穿着：Zara大号上衣，不知名皱边短裤，Doc Martens

 

Almost a week later and I am still receiving gifts like the steady pitter-patter of rain.  Not that I am complaining, I am happy to know that so many people remember my special day.  This outfit I am wearing is rather simple, no? It might be the simplest one I have had since the debut of my blog.  Yet, this combination of black and white never fails.  I love these pair of Doc Martens, I would wear them all day and everyday if I could.  These 20-hole docs are perfect, the perfect height.  I have made a resolution to start a doc collection.

我的生日已经过了差不多一个礼拜，但我还受到很多很多的礼物。我不是在埋怨，我是在开心那么多人记得我的生日。我的穿着很简单，对吧？这可能是我的网志里最简单的了。可是，穿黑搭白永远不会出错的。我爱这双Doc Martens, 如果可以的话，我会每天都穿着它。这双有二十个洞的鞋子很完美，有完美的高度。我决定了我要收集一系列的Doc Martens.

My recent goodies...
-Gucci by Gucci. How original.. but nice packaging

-Two gifts I treated myself, a Thomas Sabo Skull pendant and a Hokkaido owl I picked up from the Niseko gift store.  I love that gift store, it has the greatest collection of owl stuff.

- Anna Sui ring amidst my favorite chocolate bars.  Half of it's been gone since this photo was taken.

-Finally, a nice purse to substitute the Jimmy Choo one I lost :(

The best gift this year? Untangible.
The best playlist ever...

我最近的宝贝。。。

-         Gucci by Gucci. 很原始。。。不过包装很漂亮

-         我自己做的两份礼物，一个Thomas Sabo骷髅垂饰和一个在二世古礼物店买的北海道猫头鹰。 我爱那礼物店，它有最棒的猫头鹰产品系列。

-         Anna Sui指环在我最喜欢的巧克力条之中。拍这照片的时候有一半已经没了。

-         最后，一个很美的钱包来替代我丢了的Jimmy Choo钱包。

这年最好的礼物？是无形的。

最棒的音乐播放表。。。

 

Hazy from missing you

Wearing: Anna Sui chiffon top, AA leggings, Azzedine Alaia heels

I would say that for the past couple months, it's been tough on me... but I like it.  I enjoy the feeling of selflessly missing someone.  I have a feeling of zero expectation and at the same time, filled with endless expectations.  It is something I can depend it. 

I have developed a ritual to help me deal with my emotions.  To some, it may seem unfulfilling but for me, it's enough to tide me over to the next day.  I am aware that things aren't perfect and can't be for many reason.  Yet, it's a confirmation of love that keeps me happy and here. 

I will never complain about what I don't have, rather I will chose to appreciate what I do have and keep on being happy and in the moment.  I believe that you can't plan the future especially when it comes to two interactions between people. 

There are special moments that keep me positive of what's too come. 

This video reminds me of you.

I miss you.

Gossip Girl: Anna Sui for Target

Quite a clever ploy I must say, to link stars of the young fashion elite with the mass production retailer Target, resulting in a collaboration with Anna Sui. I like Anna Sui, but a glance at her Target line seems like a rather half-assed effort on her part. Anna Sui is known for girly printed smocks, adorned with black lace and geometric shapes and floral prints. Even though it's for a mass chain line, I expected the designs to speak more of Ms. Sui instead of an agency who just took her name and stapled it onto clothes which matched her similar color palette. Disappointing. (Actually.. it's an okay line, I am just being cynical. What do you expect for $9.99?

Even worse still is that the opening party for Anna Sui for Target called for the attendance of A-listers from the Gossip Girl crew. All of them looked old and horrible and not like their usual self. Except for Blake Lively, that blonde bombshell who always looks good.

Taylor Momsen: I am one of the only people in my group of friends who commend what she does and how she dresses. Except today, she looks exactly how my friend described her, "trashy little girl." Sure platinum blonde hair is cute but not blatant hair extensions. And that lip stick? Sure we love True Blood but no reason to go all vampire-ish in real life!

Jessica Szohr: She is beautiful, natural curly hair and great complexion but... she has been losing too much weight. Jess looks good but not like a healthy, fuller version of herself in the movie. And... what's she wearing, it's good for showing off her wash-board belly but Britney Spear's 'Hit me baby one more time' tops are soooooo last season.

Penn Badgley: I like him. Really do, loved the nerds in high school but he just looks untaken care of, not even in a cool scruffy way. Forgive me, I am sick, grumpy and Typhoon level 8 is threatening to hit HK. Nothing is good enough for me. I still think you are hot Penn, I promise.

Now...not to be snotty but where is Blair Waldorf, Chuck Bass ? Off doing something scandalous? I hope so..
