2.55: The Dream Purse

Actually, I am not a fashion snob, but I believe that dressing up and make yourself presentable is important. (I am the kind of woman who will never leave the house without make-ups and dressing up properly, but I am not high maintenance either.) It's not only fun, but is a great boost to a person's confidence. And I believe in accessories, because no matter how your size change throughout your life, they won't abandon you, and they can instantly lift an otherwise plain outfit.

I recently read Nina Garcia's book "The One Hundred". She talked about if you can only invest in 4 bags in your whole life, the 4 bags should be:
The Birkin by Hermes
The Chanel 2.55
Louis Vuitton Speedy
The Jackie O by Gucci (now being called The Bouvier)
(According to Nina, all the other bags are actually variations of these four.)

Well, I am not rich, and when I do have the money, I probably will buy some new windows for my house... ha ha, talk about the reality! But I do own a small Louis Vuitton Speedy (thanks to my mom... she spared me one of hers during when she visited me this time), and let me tell you, it does have magic power. It's not a vanity thing. It will last your whole life, and it goes with any outfits that you put on. I don't need to have all four, but I do love Chanel 2.55 and the inspiration behind the design. It is so classic, iconic and timeless... I just love it.

For now, I can't afford it but at least I can let my character carry one... :)

Love Child of 3 Trends

This is a messy one because it's a quick 30-second doodle.
It was born this afternoon, out of a conversation about some current trends...

Anyways, it sounds like a cool band name... hee hee.

Luna's Portraits

How are you, my friends?! Things are crazy at work, as you can tell, and I didn't have time to doodle. At the same time, I've started a blog in Chinese so I can keep in touch with that side of the globe, and I am still trying to figure out how to use that website. So my time is spread thin even more. So bear with me, would you?

Meanwhile, I've done these little portraits for my friend Luna in Taiwan. She saw my profile picture in my Chinese blog and she was wondering if I could do one for her when I have time. Of course I said yes! She was my mentor and my partner in my first job after college. I worked in a huge famous record company with her for almost one year... She is one of the hardest worker I've ever met and I learned a great deal of stuff from her. These are for her! Which one do you like?

Happy Halloween!!!

My oh my, I've been so busy with works (as you probably can tell already). Sorry I've been neglecting the blog recently; you know how it is to have a full time job in a big corporation, plus my mom was visiting me for a month earlier. It all adds up.

Anyway, my team got a little break yesterday and we went to Kearny to carve pumpkins! (My company owns a farm house in Kearny, Missouri, so from time to time, we get to go there and do fun stuff together; it's a real treat. I have cleaned pumpkins before but never carved one, so this is mt very first! His name is Bosley (like the hair restoration company because I implanted crazy hair for him)! He and his 17 pumpkin friends will be displayed tomorrow on our annual company Halloween party as table decors.

So here is Mr. Bosley wishing you guys a happy Halloween! Be safe when you go trick or treat! :)



Here are some freshly picked pears from the tree...
