Today is the day that my darling sister is graduating from college. What a big day! I'm so incredibly proud of her and super excited to see where her future will lead. Congratulations!!!!

Darlings, I don't think I've ever fully realized the power of Easter decorations after having lived in Asia for so long now. I only first realized how intensively it is celebrated back in the West when in London during my spring break. I am fully on board though, who could resist the beautiful pastels and elaborately fruitful decorations covering the shop windows!

At Maison Ladurée the fanciful boxes were in rich, soft pink and green pastels. I feasted on a delightful box full of Parisian macaroons in flavors of rasberry, vanilla, cappuccino, and chocolate.

Even the local taxis were decorated in celebration of Kenzo's 40th anniversary by being covered in fresh summery flowers! Upon seeing one pass me by on the street it couldn't help but brighten up my day. Absolutely loved it!

Upon landing in London, I was already set on what I wanted to achieve in my short time there. My activities included:

1. Attend a fabulous class at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design

(the class was design for burlesque)

2. Return to my favorite store featuring the best luxury chocolates that money can buy. My favorites include their Pink Marc de Champagne Truffles and Cappuccino Truffles.

3. Check out the latest Yohji Yamamoto exhibition at the V & A Museum

4. Buy some fresh shoes to replace my scrappy old converses and several previous love affairs

5. Enjoy my time to the fullest with the people that I love

Immediatley after touching down in London, I rushed over to the V & A to catch the legendary designer Yohji Yamamoto's exhibition. The designs were amazing, all with a cutting edge precision that was spot on. He couldn't have come from anywhere else than Japan of course. Now there is another amazing book to compliment and add to my already large pile of coffee table books. They're the perfect thing to study when you are lacking in the inspiration department!

Apart from the impressive collections that are displayed at the V & A, I am also a complete sucker for the breathtaking architecture.

Darlings, as summer is getting closer and closer now, I have found a new desire to be surrounded by flowers. The trees are still bare but the temperature is getting warmer at last! I think I must have been extremely color deprived after the dark winter.

Darlings, I have just been fortunately blessed with a fabulous copy of the Stephen Jones coffee table book! Exciting! I've been studying up on the delicate art form of millinery and even searched up some information via podcasts on iTunes. I absolutely adore Stephen's fun, quirky designs; you never know what's up next. J'adore!

Here is a sneak peek inside the book, enjoy!

The Trunk Xu presentation was really exciting to attend, but more so his amazing photographs. He is a famous Chinese fashion photographer whose photos have been featured in magazines such as Harpers Bazaar, Vision and Vogue to name a few. There were far too many gorgeous photos to post, so I've selected a few of my favorites.

Me and my darling new friend Trunk Xu

Enjoy the photos!

Is there anything better than a fresh bouquet of flowers when the weather is down? They can really help brighten up your day. Today is yet another day where Beijing is covered with a white blanket, I can tell I need more color in my life. I'm not going to let the weather stop me though, I'm heading to a presentation at Ullens gallery in 798 Art Distric later today.

If you're sick and tired of all of your vases, try something new. I love this Paul Smith shopping bag and thought it would go perfect with the flowers. What do you think?

Went to Park Life Shopping Centre at the Beijing Yintai Centre to check out the Elle celebration event. I am sad to say that I've become rather spoiled due to the many amazing exhibitions that I've seen here and found the Elle event slightly disappointing. The event was less of an exhibition but rather a combination of small, randomly placed installations that were difficult to find in the large shopping centre.

There were multiple displays that were videos flashing years worth of Elle magazine covers. It was fun to see how many I recognized however, I was expecting a more informative presentation that gave some insight into the magazine and publishing process. Elle is an amazing magazine that puts together photoshoots featuring the latest designers, models and photographers, carries interesting interviews and spreads covering the most fascinating people in the fashion industry. I wanted a glimpse of that and thought the exhibition didn't do the magazine justice.

These were some of the other displays at the luxury shopping centre although not part of Elle that caught my attention. I loved the birds, but then again I do have a weakness for feathers!

My love for the Hemès display windows may seem endless but they have such talent for choosing simple, elegant displays.

The latest member of my Momiji tribe is the fabulous message doll 'dancing girl'. She matches my room to perfection!

My trio is officially completed! She will join the ranks of 'happy' and 'pixie'.

Happy Chinese New Year! It is now the year of the rabbit. The fireworks have been going off non-stop for a week straight now. Don't get me wrong they're gorgeous, but as I have exams this week it's not the best timing. All of Beijing is decorated with these fabulous little red lanters. Seriously, I think they should be up all year round! They look so pretty when they're lit up at night!
