where。|| PURR's Living, Taipei ||

前幾天翻了翻我iphone裡的照片, 發現我漏掉介紹這家咖啡廳兼古董雜貨店PURR's Living, 這是朋友介紹在台北東區的小店, 我們二月的時候去的...(什麼!!???) 看到照片後我完全能回憶起那裡的氛圍跟好吃的食物。我的腦袋記不太起來菜單裡面確切有什麼, 但我記得全是我喜歡的治癒系小食, 像是烤雞＋烤蔬菜（那天我點的就是這個）, 凱薩沙拉跟牛肉三明治, 雖然都是簡單到處都有的小食, 但它做得很用心也很好吃, 擺盤也好好看！整家店的氛圍很舒服也很注意每個小細節, 就像洗手間裡的小松鼠水龍頭就有surprise到我～整家店也有種尋寶的感覺, 而且它擺設出來的東西都有賣。（但覺得像我這樣的小上班族有點消費不起...)總而言之, 我覺得這是一家在東區閒逛可以給妳帶來“美好的午後”feel的複合概念店。

I was flipping through my iphone, realise I forgot to share this amazing cafe, PURR's Living, when I was back in Taipei in Feb. (What ???!!!! )(Haha) One of my friend recommend this place, very vintage but with taste. Really just everything I would enjoy, including the food. Well cooked roast vegs and chicken, and also well presented. My brain cant not recall what exactly were on the menu, but I can remember they are all nice comfort food like roast veg, chicken salad and beef sandwich. (my mouth is watering now....) What I like most is the atmosphere, and every bit of the details in the corners, like the squirrel tap in the loo. Feels a bit like a treasure hunting stores, all the stuffs displayed are for sell, and all are collected from aboard. (just a bit too pricy....) Well, over all, its a nice concept shop/ cafe to have a look and stay for a nice afternoon catch up!

There。|| Mother Daughter Diary ||

在其他部落格那邊看到了這個超級溫馨的時尚大片, 漂亮的模特媽媽Bianca Balti和可愛的女兒為Grey Magazine拍的。裡面母女兩都穿著 Dolce & Gabbana 2013春夏系列服裝, 表現的內容就是媽媽與女兒平凡的一天（但穿上Dolce & Gabbana後就一點也不平凡了哈）其中我最喜歡女兒幫媽媽化裝的那一張, 好調皮又好sweet！這樣的母女裝可以給已經當媽媽/ 將要當媽媽/或是夢想當媽媽的妳們當個很夢幻的參考！

I saw those lovely lovely pictures from the other blogger, can't stop saying "awwwwww". It was Bianca Balti and her cute daughter both wearing Dolce & Gabbana's 2013SS collection for Grey Magazine. So basically the theme is about ordinary daily chores with mum & the little one. (not really ordinary when u have those Dolce & Gabbana on haha) The one I love most is the daughter putting on make ups on her mum, so fun and sweet!! The kinda of fun I used to want when I was little. Well, those matching mother/daughter outfit can be a great inspiration for those who is mum already/ will be mum soon/ or dreaming to be a mum !!

喔對了, 這次的分享比較針對時尚和穿搭, 如果想看更多有關“愛”的母子/女, 可以回顧我之前分享過的---there。|| the real women ||, 我相信喜歡小孩的妳一定會很喜歡！

BTW, this mother/ daughter inspiration is more about dressing up, but if you are looking for the LOVE, please go review my post ---there。|| the real women ||, there will be more awwwwww coming out of you.

Pieces。|| Summer Traffic Light?! MAY. 初夏. 2013 ||

When I was looking at my May Instagram, The colour combination looks like traffic light: Red, Yellow and Green. It also reflects my mood: Lost, Find and Grateful. The feeling of lost makes me stop chasing and think about what really matters (Red). In the last month, I met peoples and I found there is still ways to make my dream works now, all i need is a bit of faith in it (Green). Also I feel like I need to be focus on what I was being given, what I got right now and feel grateful about them all (Yellow).

看看我五月份的Instagram, 整個色調就像紅綠燈一樣：紅黃綠。似乎也表現出我整個五月的心情：失去, 找回, 和感激。失去的感覺, 讓我停止追逐沒有意義的一切, 轉而思考什麼才是重要的, 可以讓我奮不顧身的（紅燈）。我在這個月中遇見了新朋友, 一個讓我覺得夢想好像真的不遠的信念也離我好近, 而我唯一需要做的就是去相信它！（綠燈）現在的我慢慢能專心在我所擁有的一切事物上, 因為想太多未知的未來令我無助, 所以我只用心在“現在”, 感激我身邊的一切。

How about you? How's your summer colours and how does then reflect your mood? Hope you all have a great May!!

感覺我的五月好像有點嚴肅（跟我的instagram都是食物的照片有點不搭哈哈！）你呢？你的初夏五月是用怎麼樣的心情渡過的呢？

the happiness project X u are what u wear || My muse: Elisa Nalin ||

 Watching her whimsical approach to dressing reminded us that fashion is not all about serious-with-glasses, no-smiles and go-get-Starbucks attitudes; you got to have fun with it.  ---By Coveteur

 

復古＋色彩＋優雅＋愉悅的心情, 這些是我對自己穿著的追求, 而我發現近幾年街拍上有一位人物把這些點發揮的淋漓盡致, 那就是居住在巴黎的造型師---Elisa Nalin。 如果用一個詞來形容她的風格, 她自己覺得那就是：HAPPY/ 快樂。所以所有她的街拍照片都有一種莫名的活力, 讓人興奮的色彩還有復古的廓型, 時尚又優雅的令我崇拜！因此對我來說, 時尚就是要像這樣令人感到愉悅, 透過服裝, 色彩還有配飾, 帶出你自己的獨特風格與自信。

Vintage + colours + elegant + happy mood, thats exactly what I want my style to be defined, and that's also the stylist Elisa Nalin's signature looks! Her styles are all focus on one aim: HAPPY. That makes all her street snap photos all very cheerful and also very chic and elegant. It's how I think fashion should be, it should be up lifting peoples spirit, let the clothes we choose to wear make us happier and confident.

她, 現在正式成為了我的靈感MUSE還有時尚偶像！

She is officially my role model and icon now, for sure.

挑戰總是讓我感到很矛盾, 因為一開始它讓我情緒高昂的想去征服, 但當它越來越難, 越來越複雜的時候我就想用最快的方式結束這場惡夢。這就是我跟挑戰之間的微妙又感傷的關係（我猜一定也是大多數人的心聲吧）但當我公司裡的外國總監（就是照片裡的唯一男性）在我快要被壓力壓得喘不過氣時, 對我問了一個問題, 令我恍然大悟, 他問：你知道為什麼我那麼喜歡走秀前的壓力和那些看似不可能的挑戰嗎？我回答：我不知道.....（當然我內心是說：我怎麼可能知道, 還有誰會喜歡啊！！）他回答我：因為我喜歡突破這些挑戰後, 那種覺得自己什麼都能做到的成就感, 還有成功後我學到的經驗。雖然很簡單, 好多書上都有說過, 但真的有經歷過這個地獄, 又聽到他這麼描述, 整個就是一語點破！加上本人對任何 “你一定會越來越好”的這種勵志鼓舞十分感興趣, 也完全深信這種自信會幫助你完成夢想達到人生每階段的目標。所以如果這樣去想的話, 我覺得我能去“喜歡”挑戰甚至對自己下戰書, 當然不忘加入點個人品味與風格哈哈。

Challenge overwhelms me, it makes the whole thing exciting, but when I gets tougher and tougher...I can't wait to get rid of it. That's my relationship with challenges, sad hun? Well, one question from my co-creative directer （seen as the only male in the picture) hits me. "Do you know why I love all the intence challenges before fashion shows?" I said No, of course. Who could possibly loves it? It's like hell to me. Well, he answered back said: Because I love the feeling of accomplishment that makes me feel I can do everything also I can learn something from the experience. BANG. I do love the feeling that I am getting better getting close to my dreams and goals, so in that way I think I can manage to like challenges all the way to the end, and with my own stylish way.
