Keep On Weaving -- Bottega Veneta Intrecciato VN Briefcase








The finely weaved leather pattern has been synonymous with the Bottega Veneta. Known as "Intressicato", the leather weaving technique was originated by the founder in late 1960's. I've been long captured by this soft and colorful web they weaved. Especially with women's collection, there're such a variety of pop colors and materials to choose from.

My heart just melted and surrendered when I first touched the leather. It is as soft as the skin of your most secret place of your body~~

You may worry that for leather this exquisite, it's just so damn hard to keep it clean. But the point of a leather bag, especially this good, is to spoilt it with all the stuff you've been through with your life and aged it so beautifully and meaningfully. I have a compact wallet from Bottega Veneta that it is made of their signature intrecciato leather and to make it worse, the color is light blue. Some parts of the leather has been discolored with use, but it is becoming softer and softer and even today, after years of use, you can still smell the fresh scent of fine quality leather, with a hint of history!


Bottega Veneta.com just remodeled their on-line shopping site and it is so far the easiest and "chicest" website from big fashion houses. Go take a look~~

Recently, I've self-grown an obsession with briefcase. Maybe it's because I need to go into the work field ASAP. Briefcase nowadays are not exclusive for business anymore, it is an great accessory to accentuate your style, whether your urban-dandy or street chic. If you still think a briefcase is too formal to your style, you can add a hint of playfulness and fun with a small decorative gadget, like the Cutest Elephant cell phone strap also from Bottega Veneta. Don't forget to take it off on Monday when you go to work!

Shop Online for PRADA





Big time fashion houses have always been"tech-fearing". The exotic experience of shopping for high-end designers is among the very few things that cannot be rendered on-line. But with huge markdowns at department store sales, fashion houses are now considering this low-cost high profit new venue.

Prada are falling way behind in opening on-line stores, but I'm glad it did, finally. For U.S customers, the on-line store offers a wide range of accessories from handbags to key chains. Above are my favorite things from FW.

I'm torn between the Brown and Orange for the "Cordura" bag, any suggestions?

Go browse through the PRADA on-line store :)

So Wonderfully Cursed: Thomas Wylde





I don't how the obsession with skulls and skeletons first started, but I do know that I'm "cursed" for a long long time. I went back to Beijing last month and of course, did a lot of shopping at the almighty Lane Crawford store. Thomas Wylde is my new found love. I might never get to use the brooch (the first pic) I got but I just couldn't help it... ... I am so happily cursed

It's relatively hard to find Thomas Wylde within the States, but Net a Porter has pretty good collection and it's on sale too!

The Dynamic Duo Took It To India: Proenza Schouler Resort 2





















Indian Bandhani inspired PS Resort 2011 is truly about chic and comfort, which has always been the focus of the duo for resort collections. The newly renovated PS weekender is why we should go on a vacation. But the duo's been pretty much occupied with splitting up so they still haven't come up a boy's version yet.
