So here is day one.

BIRTHDAY GIRL IN RED

ZARA DRESS/SAINT LAURENT CLUTCH/JIMMY CHOO HEELS

 It's been way too long since last time I blogged, I have been engaging in new activities like dégustation de vin and workout.And they have taken up most of my free time, and I should not have stopped blogging, my fault. So I will sort my photos taken lately for various occasions and post them here as soon as possible. This year I spent my birthday with two dear friends at MGM Macau, the older I become, the less importance I put for a special day like this, because as the time goes, I realise everyday I am becoming happier and better,so it does not matter which day to celebrate.

DAVID MEISTER DRESS

WARM AND CHARM

These were taken just a few minutes ago while my colleague and I went downstairs for coffee,I tried so hard to look" cooler" but somehow my smile has betrayed me:) Even in late January the weather here makes it possible for us to wear flats and very light fabric without having to struggle too much between warm and charm.And that's certainly one of the many charms of Macau.

SWEET HOME

Bit gloomy last Saturday,always the weather report first and it never fails to influence your mood secretly,thus I had to find somewhere indoor to take photos for this new outfit combination I created. I have a spare room in the apartment where somehow I managed to set up a tiny "studio" for photo shooting, this "spare room" idea is what I always want in my apartment, a place where I can play lego/puzzle, play instrument,take photos, listen to my music so loud and carefree,it's my land and my space.Well I put the puzzle and music thing in the salon now as the room is not big enough to include all these:)But the lighting of the room plus the scattered sunlight from the balcony was not good enough as seen from the trial shots,as I was just sliding out of the room the hallway seems open and bright enough so I put the small table together with my butterfly orchids as a simply background. I think it actually went quite well.

SHADES OF GREEN

As the sun shines through my window yesterday afternoon,I was playing puzzle still( kind obsessed with this game last few weeks) but was suddenly in the mood to try out a few new dresses and see how they go with my older bag and shoes under the sun, so I put some of my favorite pieces together: bodycon daytime Zara dress for work,pointed-toe heels,semi-new Valentino bag I got from Strasbourg lafayette last Oct(can't believe it's already three months!) and a grey coat I got from a small shop here.This kind of outfit is quite suitable for an uprising junior associate I should say:) But I took the inspiration from Diane Lockheart;).

BLUE SKATER DRESS

DOT DRESS

For me Sunday is always the day for me to indulge in my own pradise, may it be studying recipes and baking cookies, or trying out dresses and taking photos. Last Sunday I was more in the mood to shooting photos, so I go prepared and went downstaires just to realise the rain was too big that it's better to stay indoor, so there was this small area between my building the road, and they planted so many trees in this area, so why not just take the photo here, maybe it could look good too. Indeed it turned out so good, the light was so bright reflecting into the photos and they are so flattering for my skin, and I had so many photos I like, normally I just post 6 photos in each post, this time it was too difficult to choose, since I love all of them.And the minute I posted my photos in my other sns app, my friends started to ask me where I got this dress, it was from a big outlet on our way back from Antalya to Eskisehir, I forgot the name of the brand, but everything they made was so cute and has the next-door girl feel.

WHITE DRESS

LOOSE CHIC

I'm not sure if you have noticed that I seldom post any pants outfit, it's not only because dresses are sexier and prettier, but also, I don't think pants are very flattering for my legs, also it is  hot to wear.So I have very few pants, say less than 5pieces, even in winter times I'd rather choose boots and leggings over pants, and this is the pants I bought so long ago from university and as far as i can remember I only wore it three or four times, tho its quite cool for summer, and that Sunday it was not so hot, plus just a few raindrops, I thought, why not? So loose comfy pants with a tight top, it has the kinda laid-back feel which is I need. 

HIGH SCHOOL STYLE

Whenever I take all my kit and shoot photos somewhere, either in a park or near the sea, or just simply downstairs, there are always new people being attracted to the things I do, some of them ask if I need help, some of them make fun by standing in front of my camera, some of them just keep staring at me, how I adjust my camera, how I pose and How I smile to the camera, they must find me so strangely happy, I seem so fearless in front of the strangers and the camera, I appear as if nothing matters except the things I am working on. Honestly I could not care less about how these passers-by think about me, but when they actually stopped and came to talk with me,I almost always am happy to reply. So after starting my shooting some ten minutes later that Saturday afternoon, this little girl who is about five or six years old stood there with her grandfather and her little younger sister in the stroller, she watched me for about ten minutes during which her grandpa kept asking her to leave)still she was there, so focused, and didn't even say a thing, then she asked me is it fun to take photos, and told me she also wanted to try and pose, and i took some photos for her,and she proudly told me her name and where she lived(just two floors above mine) and if i can send her the photo i took. It happened so fast I didn't even realize how confident this little girl is and how it is difficult to refuse a sincere request. But it was one of the few moments I enjoy people's attention more than the photo shooting itself.

LACE SKIRT

I gave up lace long time a ago because I cant be bothered to wear pieces that are too girly and fussy,  the simpler the fabric the better for me. As I have bought too many single color pieces, it occured to me that maybe trying something more old-fashioned can be like a breath of fresh new air, and I found this knee-length skirt from another small shop and took the inspiration from Carrie's outfit in the movie of sex and the city 2, of course the dress is even fussier than I remember it to be(when I checked the photo today),  seeing this movie in Sydney, I recall vividly that I was amazed by the way the costume designer combines a sporty top with a fussy skirt, together with an exotic bag, but just a reminder for those of you who have not been to any of the middle east countries(Turkey excluded),I can assure you wearing this kind of outfit requires some sort of escorting, because it will attract too many unnecessary attentions. Luckily for me, posing downstairs with my red lips and this lace skirt have not yet bring anything more than a few curious looks.

SNOW

It looks like Japan, right? At least it does for me, whenever I see this series of photos it reminded me of my trip to Japan two years ago, all these white and even pink-looking snow, with the sunset beautifully interfacing the mountain line and every element in the air. But, it was in Turkey, I remember I was playing with my colleagues in the snow, we were snowing fighting, posing the snow and sipping coffee while watching the firtina(snowstorm in turkish) from indoor,but if memory fails to serve right, I may just confuse Turkey with Japan,my smile was similar, the leave didn't look all that different and most importantly the snow remained equally pure, so I conclude: at the end of the day, what we all remember about the past is the not the specific place or scenery but our mood and emotion at that moment.
