忽涼忽熱的上海立夏, 穿梭在街道間的最好方式就是騎單車。微風/速度/穿梭在擁擠車流中, 是忙碌中舒壓的一大享受。在上海的單車界, 來自台灣的捷安特還有上海老牌子永久, 都在跟英國復古單車取經。皮製手把配上藤籃, 墨綠色加上白色的搭配, 我的捷安特就是我春夏的心頭好。第一個禮拜挑戰在上海街頭穿梭的我, 處處小心, 除了車子還要小心突然冒出來的行人/電瓶車/自行車。一直按鈴好像都沒反應, 因為馬路上喇叭聲/鈴聲從來沒停過, 所以已經成了背景音而不是警告音。入境隨俗的我只好也開始開喊：當心！讓讓讓讓讓。喊完自己還大笑, 因為這“融入街頭”的感覺真是奇妙。

Early summer in shanghai, between hot sunny days and breezy days, the best way to travel is by BICYCLE. Wind/ speed/ no traffic, make the experience very soothing after/during the busy day. Giant from Taiwan and Forever from Shanghai are getting their hands on retro style. Leather handle/ weaving basket+ white and green retro combination=my lovely Giant is the new lover for the breezy summer. My first week on bike was pretty nervous, cos I need to watch out the pop put moto/bike/people that come from nowhere. I tried ring the bell on my bike, but it doesn't help at all, cos car horns and bells are like background sound to the shanghai street. So I end up yelling: WATCH OUT WATCH OUT MAKE A WAY. I laugh out loud right after my first yelling and then get addicted of doing it. Blend my yelling into the street background soundtrack is Great Fun.

trends。||Marble Issue。大理石,最沈穩的灰階美||

安靜成穩奢華的大理石, 自從上個秋冬開始就漸漸從秀場走進人們的生活靈感中。從常見的家居裝飾已經衍生到了服飾與配件裝飾上。令我愛不釋手的還是mac外殼還有大理石印花襯衫。冷靜的猶如冰山美人般, 頓時氣質出眾了起來。簡單的黑白灰, 不規則的線條, 除了乾淨簡單還多了一份靜逸。灰階色調一直這這兩季的重點, 不像灰色地帶那樣令人緊覺的意味, 比較像是情緒上的逃脫。穿上灰色系可以感受到柔軟安靜, 像是回到了一個人的天地一樣, 自在獨立。大理石紋路, 更添加了潑墨山水的意境。

（寫完這段頓時不知道該如何翻成英文哈...)

Marble's luxurious and calmness has a certain reputation in home decoration. Since last year it appeared on the catwalk, it start to influence into every detail that relate to fashion. My favorite from above would be the mac case and the shirt. Black and white, irregular lines, so simple and calm.  Grey tone is one of the key colour for last past few seasons, it not like a serious suit's hue, its more like an escape from all the compelecated emotions. It can be so cozy and quite, like you are on a comfy coach, all by your self, alone but fulfilled. The marble print is just adding more splash-ink scenery kind of zen into it.

vola! outfit ||Dress up heels free。跑鞋盛裝||

Orange Bomber Jacket : Uniqlo  |  Black Lace Irregular Dress:  IZZUE COLLECTION (Similar here)   |  Letter E Necklace: TOPSHOP  |  Silver Stone Ring: H&M  |  White Lace Edge Socks: TOPSHOP  |  Mint Shoulder Bag  : KATE SPADE  | Trainer : NEW BALANCE  | Sunglasses : LONDON VINTAGE  |

剛上班時的我會告訴自己, 至少一周要練習“踩高蹺”兩次。現在在忙碌的工作中還有新的運動風趨勢下, 我漸漸變成穿球鞋/平底鞋多過高跟鞋。這次服裝周的裝扮雖然和上次一樣都是以黑色蕾絲洋裝為主, 但用不同的配飾去詮釋不同的心境與感觸。這季服裝周的街拍相對也比較活潑, 好多顏色跟幾何圖案, 多了點童趣少了點嚴肅。誰說盛裝時不能穿運動鞋？！我用跳躍的腳尖告訴你們, 只要穿起來有自信, 夠自在, 就算你不是Susie Bubble, (或是有個媽在你出門前說：裙子加運動鞋好奇怪啦）你還是可以舒舒服服的穿出自己的風格。

When I start working in the office, I told myself I should practice wearing heels at least twice a week. It didn't last long. Thanks to the Ballerina trend and Sporty trend, I end up with wearing cool flats or trainers everyday. As for this Fashion Week outfit, still wearing Black Dress as base (see last one here) but had a play with colors and my new NB. Felt so much cheerful and less serious this time, and when I look around, people are dressing in trainers too with colors too. What a Coincidence. PLAYFUL was the Theme. Well who said you can't dress up with trainer? (except my mom we shakes her head every time she saw me wearing it with dress or skirt) I am jumping high with my tip toe and telling you: The outfit you wear should makes you happy and cheerful, then you add your secret ingredient that's call CONFIDENCE. You don't have to be Sussie Bubble, but you can still wear whatever you like to be comfort and stylish, or should I say, BE YOU.

Shanghai Fashion Week || Oasis Sweetheart ||

2014秋冬上海服裝周來了呦, 這次還是很榮幸被OASIS邀請前往觀秀。（謝謝辛苦的小夥伴們! ）這次的秀和往常ㄧ樣很實穿很甜美, 雖然沒有很多大起大落或驚喜, 但是整場秀看下來還是讓人很有購物衝動。從一開始的波普藝術彩色點點禮服, 到後面充滿馬卡龍色的甜滋滋洋裝/皮草/大衣, 就像OASIS專屬的女孩樂園。這次沒有太多的印花, 重點移到了細節還有輕快的色彩節奏上。不難看出這個品牌在系列感還有造型上一季比一季用心。黃色/粉紅色/淡藍色在最後一張圖看起來很和諧, 讓我聯想到小時候喜歡坐的旋轉木馬的顏色 。另外一個我喜歡的地方是這次的秀場髮型。很像茉莉公主的頭髮, 跟有點運動風的高筒襪及拼色坡跟鞋搭起來還莫名的甜美討喜耶! 對於OASIS甜心系列的點評就在這告一個段落啦, 希望下次服裝周可以順利申請到媒體証, 讓你們可以看到更多的上海時尚文化。（下篇預告：新天地時裝周穿搭文）

Here comes the fashion week in Shanghai for 14'AW. As usual I am posting this Oasis's show as I have been passionately invited to. (Thank you my dear friends for having me and catching up) I enjoyed most of the show, even though there is no much surprises. Starting with the POP ART poka-dots gown, and gradually into the adorable OASIS fantasy. There are no prints go wild and everywhere this season, but more of the details and colour-harmony instead. However, the styling and the rhythm of the collection is getting stronger every year.  Yellow/ Pink/ Baby Blue together with white and black remind me of happy marry-go-round little porny colors. Love the Indian Princess like Hair style, goes pretty well with those sweet-sporty outfits. This show is definitely a experience of darling OASIS wonderland for all of us. Well, hopefully next time I would be lucky enough to get the press pass for the Fashion Week, so you guys can have more bit of Shanghai Fashion culture.  ( Stay tuned for next Xintiandi Vola! Outfit)

CHEERS to those hard work Oasis Sweetheart, the superb design team.

給辛苦的OASIS設計團隊。

there。|| Party with Paul Smith, Shanghai 靜安嘉里中心Paul Smith 開幕晚 會。||

我必須要承認, 收到朋友邀請來這個開幕酒會我的第一反應居然是..好耶! 雞尾酒趴！...我知道, 非常不專業的反應。但你看看現場這些可口的雞尾酒, 香檳, 印有Paul Smith的馬卡龍, 你就知道了。這些大名牌真的知道怎麼討好客人/媒體們。這次是Paul Smith在靜安嘉里中心的新店開幕。兩層樓的店鋪除了有著最新春夏系列的男女裝之外, 還有好多經過精心搭配過的裝飾品, 像是上圖中的相片/海報牆, 還有水晶燈跟樓梯前方的花朵裝飾窗。都十分的Paul Smith。

Ok, I must admire that my first reaction to this opening party was...wooo COCKTAILSSS, and it's very unprofessional. but see what we got: champaign, yum finger foods, cocktailsss, macaroon, those posh party does know how to make their guests happy. The new opening of Paul Smith store is in Jingan Kerry Center, a new iconic department store in Jingan, Shanghai. The store has two floors, filled not only with lovely new Paul Smith collections, but also very adorable decorations. (like the photo wall in the picture above, the chandelier, and the floral reflection window, all very Paul Smith indeed. )

想到Paul Smith, 就會聯想到彩色條紋跟紳士。但當天晚上我沒有看到太多的彩色條紋, 我卻看到不少的紳士還有...白色! 有白色牛仔褲/白色裙子（我！）/ 白色外套/ 白色襯衫...好多白色。不確定這是不是有寫在邀請函內的dress code, 但是我必須說, 這些穿白色的賓客, 不管是龐克白, 氣質白, 還是性感白, 都跟店內的陳列氛圍還有空間的留白很搭。這種不約而同真是妙不可言呀。

When you think of Paul Smith, you think of colorful strips and proper gentleman. That night I didn't find much strips, but did see lots proper gents and...lots of WHITE. White skirts (like mine), white jeans, white coat and white shirts. Not sure if its the dress code, but all the white goes super well with its style, punk/elegant/sexy, also pretty matchy with the store display.

來了來了, 那天的重點...保羅. 史密斯 先生也有在現場喔! （在英國五年沒看到, 結果跑來上海見面, 緣分呀緣分 哈哈）（看到本人的當下：內心尖叫, 外表冷靜裝酷）Paul Smith本人十分友善, 完全沒有傳奇設計師的架子, 對所有索照索簽名的嘉賓都說：ABSOLUTELY！（中文我翻：當然沒問題）再喝了不知道多少香檳後的我, 帶著勇氣也前往會見大師。 只想遠遠跟他微笑點頭的計劃, 在酒精還有朋友鼓勵下, 我不僅讓他在我的木頭手機殼上簽下大名 （他的簽名真的好好看! ）還要到了自！拍！照！掌鏡人還是保羅本人! 玩心很重的他連續拍了四張, 當下讓我受寵若驚到花容失色。（見最後一張照片你就知道）

And here comes the spotlight : Paul Smith himself was there that night !! (I was screaming inside, but acting super cool outside) He was super super nice, said ABSOLUTELY to everyone who want to take a picture with him or get a signature. Luckily, after I don't know how many champagnes, I get braver and got myself BOTH of his signature and a crazy FOUR selfies with him!! I know I should tell him how lovely his collection is and we are having a great night, something polite like that, but as you can see from my forth selfie, I was so shocked.

那晚我和我的女孩們（還有一位剛認識的紳士）有了永生難忘的一晚, 必須必須謝謝好朋友Yilei 的邀請我這小部落客出席這麼難得的派對。作為我的親愛讀者的你們也才能讀到這篇文章, 一起感受設計師Paul Smith的友善和創意。（一二三一起說：謝謝Yilei !!!)

I thank the girls for inviting me that night, especially Yilei, who give a small blogger like me and marvelous readers like you, to see the BIGGER world. (1.2.3 say THANK U YILEI) Me, girls, and super nice legend Paul Smith had a great great night. (look at my satisfied and tipsy smile, haha)
