Shopping fantasy: Pink

Last Saturday my friend told me that we should wear pink

for the Chinese New Year day.

But I found out that I don't have much pink in my closet.

So these pieces are as pink as I could love.

He's one of the people who comes with the good quote.......

“A good thing never ends.”

“Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.”

“I can't get no satisfaction.”

“I don't really count myself as a very sophisticated businessperson.

I'm a creative artist.

All I know from business I've picked up along the way.”

“I must be careful not to get trapped in the past.

That's why I tend to forget my songs.”

“I'd rather be dead than singing "Satisfaction" when I'm forty-five.”

“It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.”

“My secrets must be poetic to be believable.”

“People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969.
They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you.

It's very selfish, but it's understandable.”

“People think they know you.
They know the things about you that you have forgotten.”

“Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos.”

“The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it,
but I don't want to be its prisoner either.”

Joseph Dirand Architecture

These pictures from Joseph Dirand Architecture are so peaceful.

I also like his work eventhough I'm not fond of black and white interior.

Something in his work reminds me of Andrée Putman.

Maybe those black and white colors.

(not this project but could see from his site)

Varanasi by Peter Gasser

I didn't have a chance to go to Varanasi
when I went to India.

But if I have a second chance to go to India...
this is the place that I want to be.

Friendly furniture

I don't think that I would have "the unexpected visitors who stay over night" in my house.

And I don't think that I'm friendly enough for the idea of this furniture.

But I'm still in love with it.

It's such a hippie idea for me.

The sofa is designed by engineer, Claus Molgaard and Ole Jensen.

10 Rules of Style by Jean Touitou of A.P.C.

I love reading Jean Touitou's interview.

I think he has such a great sense of humor,

no matter what I (sometime) disagree.....

....he could always makes me laugh

This one is from detailsmag.com

1. We’re not living in a very creative era. That’s not good or bad; it’s just the way it is. I think it’s in very bad taste to buy art right now. People should leave it to the hedge-fund owners who want to satisfy their wives. “Hey, I bought a Chinese avant-garde thing.” Good for you.

2. I think it’s very important to look sexy at home. I hate it when people say, “I will take this to the countryside because it’s not fashionable anymore.” I love being well-dressed when nobody’s looking at me.

3.At hotels, they always mess up the cleaning. They will do a crease when it’s not necessary. You give them a cotton shirt and they dry-clean it. It smells funny, so you have to rinse it again. So I travel light.

4. If you can tell a man’s sexuality by the way he dresses—like a “gay” uniform or a “macho” uniform—that’s disgusting.

5. Nowadays, people work out way too much, and they look like invaders from another planet. A guy who works out two hours a day—focusing on his chest because he thinks it’s sexy—you can’t dress him, even if you send him to the best designer or stylist in the world.

6. Finance men have money but no taste. They’ll say, “My wife thinks this tie looks good on me.” They don’t focus on what’s beautiful and what’s not beautiful—they leave it to women.

7. The rock star who uses a personal stylist to dress him should go to jail. If you’re doing rock and roll, you should know how to dress. You shouldn’t need to hire anybody.

8. Anybody can be a good guest for dinner. When it gets delicate is after one day. The worst guests are the people who come to your place and in the morning they say, “Okay, what do we do today?”

9. I once wore a pink, ruffled shirt for dinner, and I wish I had never done it. I thought it was funny, but I felt so bad in it I realized I don’t have the humor to deal with ugliness.

10. After you’re 35, it’s difficult to drink unless you’re running 10 miles a day. I’m not talking one dry martini every Saturday or something. I’m talking three dry martinis a night. And I don’t think that’s possible—it’s too much poisoning. It’s not a very sexy way to talk about drinking, but that’s the truth.
