vintage flair

Hello everyone!

This is my first attempt on pulling off a vintage look! Most of my vintage items are accessories and I received them from my mother-in-law or the mother of my aunt-in-law or raiding my mum's wardrobe for things that she has forgotten. So I know the owners of my vintage "collection", except for this one! On my birthday, I got this cute checked dress with tiny rose buds print from a colleague who bought lots of vintage clothes from Japan. And it fits me like a glove ^_^

Le Normandie

Good evening everyone, 

So, this is one of the finest French restaurants in town with a spectacular view over Chao Phraya river of Bangkok. But what happened in the plates kept me away from the view. 

amuse bouche

seared foie gras

roasted frog legs, garden greens mousseline, crispy squids

salmon variations, tartare, confit, mousseline, parsley jus

braised pork fillet in aromatic herbs, preserved belly, Coco de Paimpol beans

roasted duck breast, orange and carrot purée, Mandarine Napoléon pan-jus

fresh and matured French farmhouse cheese plate Philippe Olivier

Isn't it exuberant? I was amazed by the presentation and service, as usual. Their new Mexican chef had obviously brought a personal touch to the plating. I was somehow overwhelmed by all the flavors that my simple sense of taste received at one bite. Not to the extent of what I experienced with molecular cuisine though. 

I always believe there is a connection between cuisine and fashion. Like, nice prints can be in full bloom in a simple piece and solid fabric work wonderfully with more complicated patterns. 

But I am always taken by surprise and I love it!

Have a great week ahead!

Love and moonlight,

Hi Hi everyone!

Today is Makha Bucha day in Thailand, we all have a day off to go to temples. I am still not used to all Buddhist and Royal holidays here and I am obviously so happy to enjoy this little surprise in the middle of the week!

my old Peter

Good morning my friends!

I turned 32 this Tuesday! I wish for nothing more, just continue like this... Life is perfect with all the worries and happiness it brings. I was wearing my old Peter Pilotto dress, most comfortable Louis Vuitton black pumps and Prada clutch. I have had good moments with these items in my closet and I wish to continue with these comforts for one more year. Good relations flourish with time.

 

Cheers!

Gold and black

If you are a tourist, you're recommended not to wear all your jewelry in the streets, for your own safety. But, I can assure you that you can always wear a gold skirt in Bangkok and never be robbed. Just as I did!

If you were a flower...

I was  waken up this morning by the tweet tweet outside my balcony where I have taken photos of myself on. I didn’t know what kind of birds they were, I have never seen them but they have become a part of my beautiful life here. Their little tweets made the noise from the television in the living room die down and the baby cries sound less urgent for one second.

And for that one second, I was still dreaming about the book I read last night before falling asleep. It was a beautifully written novel about love and its power. The hero and heroine finally lived happily forever after in a farm, which I couldn't help thinking if they were to be incarnated in some plants or floras, she would be an orchid and he would be an oak tree so they could continue their love and companionship.

For me, I’d love to be a cacao so that, in the end, I would be made into a chocolate cake.

Love and sunshine,

Japanese dream

Last night I was brought back to the time when I was about 10 or 12 reading Japanese comic books secretly in my blanket with a torch light in hand.  So I woke up and dressed up to my dream.
