Last Friday, I was invited to an opening event. It was a lovely evening, with all the lovely works of art. The Artist/ Gardener, Ryan Carter, is using his own way to be grateful to those past and memories. Love the phrase found in the statement, says all how that evening inspired me, " let us never forget that our memories change- just as these plants will grow, bloom and fill the spaces they occupy, our perception of these memories and their meanings becomes something new and fertile daily."


上週五, 受邀參加一個開幕酒會。在那些美好人事物下, 渡過了一個愉快的夜晚。這位藝術家/ 園藝家, Ryan Carter, 用他自己的方式去表達/感謝過去與回憶。他在陳述裡的一段話, " 千萬不要忽略了,我們的記憶並非一成不變——正如同這些植物,生長、開花、在空間裡緩慢展開,我們對過去的回憶與理解也不斷變化豐富。” 完整的詮釋了這晚帶給我的感受與靈感。


From beautiful arranged plants with amazing concept, and the old furnitures, to those fabulous garments and accessories in "William the BeeKeeper". Just like the designer said in that evening, "Shanghai is full of secrets and stories. " Yes it is, you never know whats expecting you in the next corner, and how it will stay in your very own memory.


從這些經過精心設計的盆栽, 院子裡的復古家具, 到"William the BeeKeeper"店裡設計感十足的衣服與配飾; 就像那晚Ryan說的, “上海是一個充滿祕密與故事的城市”。是的, 正是因為這樣, 你永遠不知道在下個街角會遇到什麼驚喜, 還有, 將會以怎樣的姿態留在你的回憶裡。


If you are in Shanghai, please do pay a visit.


如果你在上海, 推薦你來這裡接受這份驚喜。


 

THANK YOU Yilei for invited me. : )

there。|| the floral crush between fashion and collage ||








Who doesn't admire the beauty of the flowers. The smell, the colours and the the posture makes wherever become so elegant or sweet.


試問誰會不喜歡美麗的花朵 (除了對花粉過敏的人), 從香味,顏色到姿態, 花能使一個空間變得甜美優雅。


Dior's latest haute couture show, has these beautiful and colourful flower walls, which makes the show even more luxurious. The colours, orange/red/pink/white mixed together, brings out the sweetness and elegance, which represent Dior's culture really well.


Dior 最新的高級定製秀場就用了好多面花牆, 使得整個秀場變得奢華高貴。花朵的顏色有橘有紅有粉有白, 完美的襯托出Dior的形象:甜美奢華的優雅氣質。


The flower wall kinda remind me of the campaign that Stella McCartney did back in SS2012. Still very sweet and adorable, but it has add the fun by make it looks like collages.


這樣的花牆讓我馬上聯想到Stella McCartney在2012SS的形象照, 一樣十分迷人的花朵, 只是因為是用了拼貼的方式呈現,多了點趣味。


When it comes to flower collages, Valeria Alevra is someone worth to take a look into her brilliant works. The black and white photos with flower collages bring out the liveness of the room. I do wish to have that on my wall or celling, to create the space for daydreaming.


說到花朵拼貼, 不得不提到這位藝術家Valeria Alevra, 她的作品總是令人驚艷。從黑白照片加上花牆甚至是花朵拼貼的天花板, 為整個空間帶來了生氣。我倒也希望以後的房間有一面牆或是天花板可以用花朵拼貼的壁紙~當作一個唯美浪漫的做夢小空間。


Used to read this on a book said, 'if you have flower in your room, no matter how many of them, it will make you tidy up the room to make it set off the flowers.“ (might have said it in one post before...this does imprinted in my mind)


曾經在一本書上讀到, ”如果你在一個空間裡放上花朵, 不管是幾朵, 都會讓你想把這個空間整理乾淨整齊, 好襯托這朵花的美貌。“ (好像在某一篇發文中有提到, 看吧, 這句話已經深深的刻在我腦海裡了!)


I love flowers, and I can not imaging a world without it.


我愛花朵, 愛到完全無法想像一個沒有花朵熏陶的世界, 我們要怎麼活。

yumm。|| Very berry English trifle ||




I used to have this dessert nearly every day back in the uk. I think it's a perfect dessert for girls party like I had last Friday. I asked a friend to "tell" me the recipe. It sounds easy, and it was really easy pisy to make.


以前在英國的時候,這是一個我幾乎天天吃的甜點, 而我深深覺得對於一個都是女生的派對來說是個再適合不過的甜點。我憑著記憶和朋友的口頭敘述發現其實不只聽起來簡單, 做起來也十分簡單輕鬆。


---Recipe for Very Berry English Trifle---


a pack of berries/ a pack or a tin of custard/ double cream/ icing sugar/ sponge cake.


1. put the berries and about one tea cup of icing sugar in a pan and DO NOT ADD WATER. Cook for about 20-30 mins and KEEP STIRRING. When you see it looks like the texture of jam, stop, turn the heat off and cool it down on the side.


2. Put the double cream in a big bow, add half tea cup of icing sugar and then start to whip the cream until its thickening.


3. put the sponge cake at the bottom of your container, then put the jam on top of it, and then the custard, finally the cream. Put some berries on top of them all to decorate it, then put it in the fridge for at least 12 hours.


4.  BON APPETIT!
