A Simple White Shirt – Part Five
Living in Perth, Western Australia in my late teens, one day, in the public Conversation Room at the language school where I attended my English classes, I met Linda, a lady who was also from Taiwan.

Throwback The ’90s – The ‘Tuck It In’ Trend
Remember what Julia Roberts was wearing as Vivian Ward in the last scene of Pretty Woman?

When In Paris… Strike A Pose By The Extravagant Pont Alexandre III
Paris to me has two faces, or perhaps should I say, Paris is a woman with double identities. In Quartier Latin; Montmartre and mostly down the left bank, I see her as this Bohemian chick. When I turn around to Grand Palais; Petit Palais; the Louvre and so on.., she suddenly becomes an ornate and […]
My Autumn/Winter Essentials – The One-For-All Jacket
By saying ‘one-for-all’, I do not mean an uni-sex style. What I mean is a jacket which pretty much covers all my occasions and outings; such as : galleries, art openings, movies, theatres, cafe, bars…ext. In other words, this jacket fits very well with my life style. Just before I started this blog post, I […]
