A Beloved Muse.

Zhu-zhu (my 4-yr old Pug) was snoozing on my pillow as usual, I can't help but to cuddle up for her company and conveniently noticed how darling she is. I recently purchased two pairs of vintage Chanel earrings; a pair of gold logo loop made in 94 and a pair of rare green gripoix glass logo made in 95, and I just found my new muse to model them off. Simply lovable ~

New Arrival from Reverie Antiques

After last week's delirious antiques hunting in Brimfield, MA., I was lucky to acquire some of the show's best! As seen above, a painted Swedish oval dining table with elegant carvings on the frieze supported by fluted tapering legs; a pair of square Swedish Gustavian end tables, the pierced carving on these little tables is phenomenal...



A pair of painted Swedish Rococo style bedside cabinets (displayed behind the dining table)...



A Swedish Rococo center table (as shown on the left of the picture), with scalloped frieze and intricately carved cabriole legs.
Displayed with the dining table are set of 4 French Directoire style side chairs, all in original Robin's Egg blue paint; Also a pair of French Fauteuils a la Reine in original gilt upholstered in burlap linen, decorated as armchairs on each side of the dining table.

All items are available through Reverie Antiques & Decor, contact me for pricing.

Socks Fetish

Anyone who knows me understands that I am so not a socks person. I enjoy being bare or wear the least amount of coverage on my feet, and that doesn't matter if it's during the cold winter season. I also cannot stand people who wear socks to sleep; I believe part of the ZEN theory indicates the importance of setting your body free to breath the positive chi.

Nonetheless, I am a fashion guru. When it comes to the seasonal passion for fashion, I reckon the necessity to break some rules. After watching the sophisticated SJP in Sex and The City, I immediately fall in love with the socks trend. I mean, the over-the-knee-socks stylization is no longer limited among high school girls, it can quite evidently transform you into a downtown-chic sex symbol. But again, we are talking about SJP, that woman has a sharp sense of style anywhere anytime.



So how about over on the other side of the ocean? Take tokyo, for example, years ago the Ganguro girls could wear just about anything and make it a gossipy fashion style; now they seem to go "normal" with the looks, but certainly isn't understated. Ankle socks are HUGE in Japan this fall, perfecting a sweet, doll-up French look. I like the lacey ankle socks with some hard-core Christian Louboutin soles.



And on the runway after-all! Keep in mind that if you want to rock the socks look to make you seem like a fashion-savvy pro instead of an accessory amateur, choosing the right shoes is essential. If you are petitie, try over-the-knee socks because they tend to elongate your legs; if you like ankle socks, go for the heels or better yet, open-toe booties.





Love these looks!
