Little chic


Before I was pregnant, I wished I could one day have a little girl. Like in all the childhood play, I could dress her up, maybe even make her a dress or two( after I finally learn how to sew) we could go shopping together, I could let her wear all my carefully carefully selected, heavily heavily invested wardrobe, I could have a great excuse of buying new amazing pieces since I am going to pass those one day to my daughter. And my daughter would one day be so famous for her style and in her interviews for the glossy magazines, she would tell the world she got her style from her mum.

That was my wish until the day when my OB pointed at a little triangle on the ultrasound monitor and told me I am going to have a son. So plan has changed, after that, I started to have even more critical view on my husband's wardrobe since one day he is going to pass them to our son. I told myself, even though we are going to have a son, he is going to be one shockingly stylish boy. And this has not been an easy task, especially in the US where Tshirts and denim shorts are pretty much little boys choice in most Children's stores. However, I did find some brands that didn't let me down.

For baby's every day wear. I love feather baby. Bought many many many outfits from them, same design just different size. Almost all of them are made from amazingly soft Pima cotton, so soft like your favorite old Tshirt you have washed over 1oo times.


Makie is lovely. I bought a light grey baby alpaca cardigan for Landon when he was still inside of me.





Swedish brand Tuss is amazing. Clean, simple and Modern at its best.




Album di famiglia is pricy but worth the price if you want to indulge yourself since most likely babies couldn't care less about design right now.




I am also a huge fan of Finger in the nose, If I am a ten year old girl, I would love to have a ten year old boyfriend who wears Finger in the nose! so far I only found Sweet William sells sad 5
pieces on line here in the states.

In general, men's fashion is disappointing in US, even in the store like Barneys. Not to mention the choice of little boys clothing. This could be a business opportunity, maybe I should look into it?

Sart blogging



Mum took the baby out for a walk, I am sitting in the quiet room, wow, I am blogging, for the very first time. I got a message from Erika, it was short but touching. She told me she saw some peonies in Whole foods and thought about me. How I love peonies... Check the rest emails and deleted all the junk, wonder if the Junya Watanabe shirt I ordered from Barneys will arrive today or not. Lately I ordered a few beautiful pieces from Comme des garcons, Junya Watanabe, Tsumori Chisato and Zucca. Don't really have much chance to wear them now when stay at home with Landon 100% of the time. But I love the aesthetic Japanese design. For me, they are not fashion, they are a style and taste of life. A mood I love to have
