What is a must-have in this Summer?

I cannot believe it has been more than a month since my last post. I have been busy, I have to say. But busy with what? Well, reading, shopping, enjoying summer....Basically everything.


So let us go straight to the topic. Summer came gradually and quietly, but its arrival brings us happiness and joy. More importantly, it brings shorts, dresses, sandals, sun glasses and many more fun and lively fashions. We said bye to the winter, and welcoming this season with open arms. This summer is normal, but also special. Bright Color has become the main element since spring, but turns to be more exaggerative, aggressive and vivid with the coming of summer. More colourful outfits are chosen and can be seen on the street. Especially for girls, the flower dress is the best choice to welcome summer. If you do not have a floral dress in your closet yet, you definitely need to get one "NOW" before it's too late!

When We Are Young, We Do Not Know We Are!

After watching the movie 13 Going On 30 last week with my best friend, I decided to write something about it. The movie itself is not super fancy, but it leads to many thoughts about life and love. This movie is a great combination of funny, romantic, and cheesy elements. It is about this girl who is a pre teenager. She wants to be cool, fun, and popular, but it turns out to be the opposite way, so she starts to hate her real geek friends and her real life, instead, she wants to be 30 and to be a lady who has everything, money, career, friends, cloths... One night later, her dream comes true, she has everything she has been always wanted. However, she lost the real her and her true friends. She starts to realize this is not the perfect life and to miss the period of time when she was 13. 

Blue Banana ^_^

 The weather in Canada is so unpredictable. Yesterday was still shiny, today everything is covered by snow. Put your warm coat back on, dont happy too early. 


Today I will be taking you to a very interesting store, Blue Banana. It is located at Kinsinton Market. This store gathers and attracts many local designers, artists, craftsmen, and stylists. They have many creative, amazing, and interesting stuff you have never seen before. For the people who wants to start their business from a small budget, who wants to share their talents with others, who wants to build up the recognition of their brands, Blue Banana will be a best place. 

Amy Smart is spotted!

Hey guys and girls,
I hope everything is going great with all of you. The weather is getting nicer and nicer. I bet you cannot wait to get rid of all the coats and boots. Mr. Sun comes out to say hi more often now. 


This nice weather brought me luck too. On March 19th, I met Amy Smart in Kinsington Market. She was really casual and nice. We chatted a little. She is filming 12 dates of Christmas in Toronto. I guess this holiday-like movie will hit on screen this Christmas. For those who have no idea who Amy Smart is, follow me here. You will see....


She was named by "women with organic style", and also was ranked as NO.27 in "100 sexiest women in the world" in 2002. 


When I met her, she was not as shiny as she is on the screen. However, what put more credits on her was her kindness, elegance, and well-educated look. 

Silk Revolution!!

 I have been waiting to talk about this topic, Silk Blouse and shirt. Back to 1930s, silk was a representation of wealth and social identity. Just like bull-dog nowadays. lol

Celebrities Are Spotted-Rock The Runway 2011 (Part 1)

I was invited by a friend to this really especial fashion show hosted at R.O.M. museum on March 5th. All the money will be donated to The War Child Foundation to help the children and women in Africa who are still staying in hunger, struggling in equality, and striving for a better quality of life. Yes. This fashion show, unlike the other ones, is not just about showing the new collections and trends and is not just focus on beauty and clothing, but also something more meaningful.

It such a pity that you were not there, but dont worry. Follow me today, I will show you all you want to know. Are you ready? Here we go....

Before I went to the show, of course, I needed to make myself look like one of them. One of whom? Those who love fashion and know how to dress fashionable. :p

The total make-ups only took me 15 mins, including the nail polish. Dont be jealous, practice makes perfect!! Well, I still have a LOT to learn.

Good Deal IS Found *_*

It seems my love for a clothing brand is seasonal since I have always been adjusting my taste for cloths. Last summer, I was crazy for Hollister. Recently, I suddenly cannot help to hang in around Aritzia and Club Monaco all the time. Literally, ALL THE TIME.

You can find really professional outfits if you wanna be a fashionable "nerdy officer" or attractive "female banker". All their cloths from top to toe can make you feel as sexy as you want to be. I am not sure if you will be spotted by a model agency, but I am certain that all the guys will turn back to you, and all the girls will get jealous of you.

A story

Five thirty in the morning, a girl was born in a city of South China. She had no name, no experience, and no memory. She was as pure as a white paper which was waiting to be painted by the world, the society, and her family. She could not be more innocent. She was born with high expectations and hopes. She was me.

October is a rainy and windy season in this city. When I was born, it was raining poorly. It seemed that I was not welcomed by this world, sadly. However, I was lucky. I had a great mother who could not wait to see me, to touch my little face, and to give me a sweet kiss. I do remember I asked my mom whether she would be happier if i were a boy. Her answer impressed me. "I would still be grateful to have you even if you are a monster," she told me. In a patriarchal society, a boy is always more welcomed, valued, and preferred in most families because a male represents the continuation of a family generation. Differently, a girl is useless, weak and will be married and gone someday anyways. However, I was lucky. Both my parents and grandparents loved and even preferred girls, which was extremely rare in that period of time when China was still considered as conservative and traditional.

My family was happy to see my birth since I was the first kid. My papa loved girls. He taught me to draw, to dance, and to sing. Of course, I do not remember anything. Photos are the best pathway to the past. I can still feel the love when I look at the photos of my childhood. They kissed me, fed me, and danced with me....I was a lucky one.

I have a great mom and a papa, who were the most important people in my life. However, although both of them left me alone to another world and will never come back. I still love them and know that they love me too. 

Because most of my family members are teachers, they all wanted me to become one of them. I thought I was born from the way to be an outstanding teacher. However, I decided to become someone different from them.

When I was born, there was only one person beside me. That was my mom, my great mother. She was the only one took care of me and herself in the hospital. Where was my father when my mom was suffering? I do not know. Maybe because my mother never told me, and I never asked. I guess he probably was somewhere with a random woman or working on his so-called career. I never blame my father. My mother told me not to. According to her, whatever my father did, the fact that he is my father cannot change. So, I never hated him, and I never loved him either. I guess hatred is part of love and takes energy. When I was two, my parents got divorced. When I realized I did not have a completed family, I was already six. I have no idea why my memory started to work so lately. I guess maybe I chose to forget something I did not want to remember. 

Since I moved to another city with my mom when I was six, I only saw my dad once a year since then. I did not miss him at all. He seemed a total stranger to me, a person sometimes I even got scared of. I loved my mom. I lived with my mom till she passed away. After she left me, I felt like life is as simple as birth and death. We, human beings, come and go. In my own world, there were only two colors, black and white. 

Not too long ago, I had a really nice and frank talk with my dad. I truly realized my dad still loves me, and very much. 

Life is so much more complicated than I thought. However, it is also more amazing and interesting than I expected. Let us see what will happen next. I am so excited to start writing blog again. 

This is a story. The end!
