chiffon pastel windbreaker style jacket, www.yesstyle.com (direct link)
teal bag from laurustinus applemall tin hua
socks from jusco
lace up wedges from pull & bear
.
it’s pretty obvious that i’m not a sporty person and windbreakers or the likes with zip and multi pockets rarely, if not never, appeal to me.
but the one above is made of chiffon and the barely pink + tiffany blue combo totally win me over. i’m always attracted by hybrids of contrasting elements.
.

)! which do you think is the best?
.
.
nike x liberty?

好友P出書了!! 書的名字是《浮沙之上》.
.
.
浮沙的奇妙是, 你愈是著急從沙裏掙扎出來, 愈陷得深. 你放鬆躺平, 據說, 便能浮在流沙之上.
放輕鬆, 觀自在, 是要學習的…當生活有時讓人焦頭土臉, 當成長讓你明白, 你以為堅穩的真理, 價值, 有時只是虛浮的蜃樓.
《浮沙之上》是 P 從觀察生活點滴找尋一些答案的過程紀錄. 有疑惑掙扎的時候, 大調子還是滿悠然的.
有沒有答案, 其實不重要吧, 只要沿途風光明媚. 偶然下雨, 陽光更可愛呢.
以下兩篇是我特別喜歡的:
.
高跟鞋
今天做足底按摩時，我仔細留意自己的腳掌，不禁自問：「我是什麼時候弄到這雙腳傷痕纍纍的？」兩邊腳跟被不同的高跟鞋反覆磨擦，呈現一片紅腫；鞋尖長期把腳趾擠壓，長出了大大小小的蹠疣，右邊腳底還有繭 ─ 我的右腳比左腳稍大，走路時身體的重心傾右，造成壓力，便自然地長出繭來。
三年前，我的一雙腳肯定不是這個樣子。那時上班不用穿高跟鞋，穿的是防滑雪靴，雖然看來笨重，但舒服實用。在香港上班，一雙高跟鞋很重要，它幾乎代表著你是否尊重工作。在中環行走，沒有一對三吋半的高跟鞋，怎能昂起頭，看得遠？早兩天看報，有人試圖為「中環價值」定義，但對我來說，定義的背後，就是我為「中環價值」犧牲了一雙腳。女士每天穿著高跟鞋，就是為了模仿某一種形態，結果弄致腳掌如戰地上的炮彈窿，很不堪入目，是一種非常個人而且深層的痛苦。
有人問：「為什麼蔡依琳可以穿著六吋高跟鞋跳《特務J》？」我也不知道，那的確是神乎其技。每天一穿上高跟鞋，我的世界就倏地走慢了一個八拍，無論我多麼努力地趕，我還是感到街上的人都比我走得快。穿高跟鞋是諸事不宜的，不宜跑步，不宜趕上班，只適宜逛公園，因為節奏較慢，可以步步為營，但偏偏我們就是穿高跟鞋上班，穿跑步鞋逛公園，真奇怪。
人愈大，愈明白要保護和珍惜自己。我對隨波逐流沒什麼怨言，只是看到跟自己出生入死二十六年的腳掌衰老了很多，一時感觸而已！

十七歲
解讀一個時代的文化，先要看當時得令的明星形象。香港九十年代的代表就是劉德華。
九十年代，香港紙醉金迷，同時腥風血雨，明星被威迫拍戲的事時有所聞，同期劉德華拍出了一系列的江湖片。
透過劉德華的造型，男性認識到江湖英雄的面貌，女性找到自己的痴心情長劍。劇本塑造他，他也影響著香港人的價值觀。董特首年代有人還說：「不如下屆特首選劉華啦！」說話的人並非政治白痴，只是證明劉華的形象成功，深入民心。當人們對現實社會幾近絕望時，他們想到的就是電影世界裡的社會。
《十七歲》推出時，劉德華四十歲，今天再唱時，他已轉眼五十。歌詞那句「如今我四十看從前」就因而改動了。但不論他打滾了二十還是三十年，他仍然是停留在某個年代。
聽到他的cheesy笑話而我仍然笑得出，我也覺得自己老了。《十七歲》的前奏音樂響起，我才猛然醒覺，青春只有一次呢。
（不明白，劉華你為什麼不唱《除非是你》和《可不可以》？失望！）

a floral watch! how come i never thought of that?! the exquisite floral motif consists of 4 layers and the little flower bud in the middle rotates as each second passes! can you imagine how cute is that?
but what i love most about the watch is the see through case and the little sparkly crystals. it’s a casual watch with an elegant twist!
.
the designer of the watch is sasu, a japanese artist whose work fuses natural and urban elements
the floral motif is her signature and different variations of it can be seen on the streets of japan

visit sasu’s website HERE for more of her work!
