Hey guys! Today I am sharing with you the embroidered flower top paired with long white pleated skirt. I styled mine with a pair of leopard flats and brown box shoulder bag. 

Also today I want to share with you the acupressure mat and pillow that helps to release stress and stimulate blood circulation. I have attached below the link for your reference. I usually use them after a long day out. They make you feel relaxed and fresh just by lying on them for fifteen minutes! 

3/4 Sleeve Silk Black Crew Neck Top with Floral Print A-Line Skirt

Hey guys! I am sharing with you today the 3/4 sleeve silk black crew neck top with floral print A-line skirt. It is suitable for both a weekend hangout or office environment. I paired them with black suede platform sandals and a flower embossed chain bag.

The magic place is Grounds For Sculptures in New Jersey. The Rats Restaurant here has a door front with water vapors from creeper covered walls with a giant tree in the middle and figure statues. It felt like an adventure of Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz. You could have an outside lunch watching Monet's Bridge and Garden brought to real life, with wild ducks landing from the pond and take a nap on your side! It is a great space to share with your love or friends for a special event and you can take a walk after in the park. It would surely amuse you by making a connection with the art and nature! 

Lemon and Lavender

Hey guys! Today I am sharing with you my trip to Lavender by the Bay, the lavender field on the tip of Long Island. The first and second bloom is late June to mid July, and if you missed out there is another bloom later summer/early fall, you can check back their bloom schedule here. When you come make sure you visit their lovely shop first and take some souvenirs to support managing the flower field. You can get lavender honeys and fresh farm eggs if you come at the right time. They are delicious!

Lemon and lavender is the dream of mine. My lemon color dress is from Self Portrait you can get it on sale with incredible deal here. 

I also would like to share with you my skin care toner made with lemon and lavender essential oil. I make tea with one organic chamomile teabag and one calendula teabag with 80ml of water, let it cool down and add 1/4 teaspoon of honey and stir, then I would add rose water, two drops of lemon essential oil and two drops of lavender essential oil. The toner has calming and healing properties given by chamomile and lavender, calendula is good for your eyes, lemon would brighten your skin ( only use at night), and together with lavender can help remove any dark spots you get from the sun. I would store it in the fridge and apply every night as skin toner. If you are wondering I have listed my tools below for your reference. 

Hope you enjoy the weekend ahead and share with me your dream place to be!

Polka Dot Tie Neck Dress

Hey guys, my post is sharing with you the polka dot tie neck dress today. If you want to achieve a no effort finished look, get a dress with your favorite print! Whether it is stripes, polka dots, or florals, it is the piece you would be relying on whenever you are in a hurry and need to get dressed within a minute in the morning. Therefore a wise piece worth spending money and time on searching! Mine has the tie neck detail that I am obsessed with and gatherings around the waistline and flares to give you that classy silhouette. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and start looking for THE DRESS!

Floral Varsity Jacket with Maxi Dress

Hey guys! I am sharing with you today the Floral Varsity Jacket and Maxi Dress I wore to the Kayaking trip at Lake Powell. Jersey Maxi Dress is the simple trick to make your trip relaxed like lying under a piece of soft blanket in bed, without compromising style with some accessories and a stylish jacket or blazer. My maxi dress fabric is composed of lyocell and cotton, both are moist absorbent and biodegradable. I just love wearing it taking a plane, seating in the car for four hours or walking around the whole day and feeling that I am at home. Share with me your favorite travel styles and fabric choices!

We paddled around the Lone Rock, stepped on the white sandstone, hiked bare foot avoiding stepping on the giant dessert ants, and jumped into the water. That was a day full of adventures and memories in the middle of the blue water and white stone surrounded by copper rich orange dessert! 

Through the Looking Glass- Chinese Scholar Garden

Hey guys, the outfit today is a polka dot silk blouse paired with embossed bottom flare overall dress. The trip to the Chinese Scholar Garden was an experience like Lewis Carroll's through the looking glass, with yard decorations and furnitures shipped directly from Suzhou, China. You can take a free ferry from the Battery Park, navigating passing the Statue of Liberty, looking back at the silver city and within an hour, you would find yourself at the garden. Walking deep into the dark bamboo forest, I got the feeling of space traveling. It was really a Saturday afternoon spent in China. 

Share with me any fun places you find around New York and let us explore the exciting city!

Long Sleeve Striped Top with Navy Overall Maxi Dress

Traveling sometimes means a lot of preparation and labor work: sunscreen and water are musts for the desert weather; insect repellent if you like to hike in the evening to hide from direct sunlight; and of course outfits and cameras are essentials. Once you are on the road you would realize and appreciate that a little more preparation goes a long way! 

Hope you all have a great weekend ahead and plan for your next trip with a little more effort!

It seems the harder I work, the more luck I have.

Wide Cropped Pants, Leather Jackets & Chelsea Boots

Here you go guys the outfit I wore to the cherry blossoms at Tidal Basin in Washington DC: beige wide cropped pants, gathered round neck leather Jacket, white round neck silk shirt and a pair of Chelsea boots. I finished the look by accessorizing with pale pink clutch and a hot pink oversized Pearl ring. Hope you guys are all getting your spring outfits ready and planning for field trips and garden visits. Share with me what are you planning to wear!

White coat, turtleneck & leather pants

So I’m back. I cannot express how much I missed typing in front of my computer writing for you guys. A lot to catch up! I would reach out to you guys out there soon for drinks and little talks. If you have the same idea, don't let the grass grow under your feet! I just want to say that I am so happy to be back. Whoop! 

Cut to the chase - I am introducing the white notched collar coat, a warm alternative to any spring light jackets that would not protect you from the cold spring in New York. I styled my alpaca hair and wool coat with a white turtleneck, a pair of beige leather pants, and white block peep toe heels. For you early spring adopters, the white coat look can get you the feel of warm weather without compromising your need to survive the procrastinating New York winter. Now get on streets with your warm white coat and feel great amongst dark heavy walking down garments!

Leather Sneaker

As you organize your closet you will find that a pair of comfortable and stylish sneaker is one thing you do not want missing, for we all have to walk sometimes! I want to be 100 percent focused on having a good time with my friend when I am out without worrying about my shoes hurting my feet. So invest time and money on this and you will be rewarded on finding how often and good you feel every time you go out for a walk in the park or go shopping. 

Similarly if you think about it you realize it does take lots of time and effort on organizing and planning daily life so it goes your way. As you are reading this I think you are probably a caring and curious person who is looking to hear new ideas and being open minded. Any positive changes in life start with a frustration you are experiencing. So if you noticed, start to take actions and make it serve your goal. If organizing your closet and being able to appear your best is your plan, I have a good read for you listed blow. So basically start to cut away things you don’t love and really keep the ones you do! It sounds pretty obvious but is very hard to put into practice, and might take several tries before you see progress. I don’t know how many of you are still keeping the sweater that you have not wore for two years in a row? Start to think and practice today and you are already one step closer to be surrounded with all the things you love and would wear out without a second thought!

Maxi Dress & Blush Blazer

Hey I think today I would like to share with you some routines that my body really appreciates. So in the morning I squeeze a quarter of fresh lemon into my water glass, mix it with the same amount of honey with water, and drink it before breakfast. This really helps to clear up your skin and give you a fresh start of the day. Also I have found a great gift from nature that I simply cannot live a day without - coconut oil. I cook with it, use it to condition my hair, mix it with my eye cream liner and use it as a waterproof makeup remover. It is so healthy for your body, nutritious to your hair, and gentle on your skin. Finally the ceramide hair conditioner treatment is a treasure I find from my favorite hair salon in New York. My hair feels so silky after each treatment even after coloring and curling irons. 

The outfit for the day is splashed jersey maxi paired with blush blazer, vintage pink clutch, beaded chain crescent moon necklace, and light blush slides. 

Thank you all for reading and sharing your thoughts with me. I really appreciate what you have commented and suggested. 

And Happy Mother’s day to the most supportive and amazing mom of the world! I love you! 亲爱的妈妈母亲节快乐！

Singing in the Rain

Spring is really a good time to work on cleaning your body, mind, and even wardrobe - really be present and let go of things you don’t need. Instead of throwing out, you can sell, recycle, and donate your items here. It really helps to sustain the environment on account we are using 65 million tons of fibers every year!

Our environment is also utilizing spring for cleansing. The rains in the city can be dirty and annoying. But I am anticipating one of these rainy days occasionally just to wear out these boots. It also comes with fleece socks that you can utilize for the cold winter times. It is the reason for singing in the rain without worrying about your new pair of flats getting ruined!
