2010-06-14T03:32:00.000-07:00

my heart shaped watch goes so well with my wardrobe remix.
i've been working extremely hard in the past two weeks for some brands to launch their FIFA promotion e-campaigns. i went home usually around 2am in the early morning....i was totally exhausted before the FIFA ceremony but we still stayed in D's office to watch the first game with his lovely colleagues. we were all lying on the massive cushions with yummy pizza and beers ! well. this is it ! i passed out withing 5 mins about the game to start . oh, that night , i dreamt about my babies- Bertie & Kikilala, oh...damn... i miss them so badly.

Recently, i found myself started to looking into boyish stuff, don't really know why. i used to be a floral and no- black type of girl. so it's kinda a new thing for me. i also realised that my most recent purchase are all black. i guess i've just too lazy to think of the colour and pattern remix on outfits recently.

Please let me introduce you one of my favor character - Fumofumosan , I used to have one which is 150cm tall. i love to cuddle it and falling a sleep every night. haha. i know it sounds silly but i like it !

I heart this blue , it goes well as colour combination with my green blanket.

3 days off work ! woop!!!
i am planning to go to the belly dance classes, swimming and also do some paintings.

2010-05-03T05:10:00.000-07:00

Bright Star

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art —
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors —
No — yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever — or else swoon to death.

by John Keats

2009-12-16T12:53:00.000-08:00

Got this vintage doctor bag from ebay few months ago and still in love with the style. i am hoping to carry a bit more unique elements, so i made the removable velvet ribbon clip and leather coin purse.
For the choice of winter booties, i want some thing simple but not boring, since i had long time didn't wear heels (last year, my uni is on the top of the hills), so flat is my only choice.when i found the perfect boots from Zara, I'd almost screaming !!!

I've got few heattech T-shirts and thiscasual check shirt in black from Uniqlo and tested out last night, when we went to winter wonderland in Hyde park all day,the result was not bad, compare to normal cotton shirts, it's really kept me warm :) maybe will go back to
grab some Heattech leggings.Btw, it's so hard to shop X'mas presents without ending up buying something for yourself !!! grrrr.

:: Home sick ::

2009-09-27T05:11:00.000-07:00

剛交出論文,休息了兩週,但也不完全是休息因為還是一邊工作著,
最近很想家,想念熟悉的台北生活與朋友,預計一月前回去一趟算是渡假:)
結束學生生活後,思考了很多,看了很多,聽了很多,覺得充滿著活力與希望,
這就是所謂有趣的人生吧（笑）
至少到目前為止,我這個幸運的女孩還是愛做夢的.

一直都很喜歡60s色彩鮮豔,俏皮復古風格的餐具,
等不及想分享正從美國運送過來的可愛杯子們:)
一邊也正在計畫著九月底廚房大改造的事宜,我真的要變成人妻了.
現在滿腦子都在想著居家佈置以及想買的le creuset鍋,對於服飾類的東西反而最近提不起勁.

之前購入的Dalimiya Carousel Dress,打算用帥氣黑色皮衣和靴子綜合浪漫可愛的感覺.這牌子是少數歐美明星愛戴的可愛甜美風品牌,kate Moss,Peaches和Sienna miller都有穿過亮相.我不太喜歡過度浪漫蕾絲的設計,但是這款有我愛的復古風木馬圖案真的是太討喜了！

木馬洋裝與可愛馬兒:)

it's a documentary about a Doctor ,Dorian Pakowitz that fed up with normal life and
left his wonderful career when he was on the top. He and his wife pack up and
take their NINE kids to live in a very natural way ,go surfing everyday,eat healthy,
and travel from place to place by a 24feets carry van.
Worth to watch :) Amazing!

:: What’s in a Buyer’s Mind ? / 給時尚採購與設計師的建議 ::

2009-07-21T05:32:00.000-07:00

For people who interested in fashion industry,
especially for fashion buyers and designers.
Enjoy~ :)

---------------------------------------------------------------
What’s in a Buyer’s Mind?
An Interview with Holt Renfrew Buyer Jason Morikawa

I kept running into Jason Morikawa at various functions and thought you’d learn a lot from him. Jason is the buyer for three separate Holt Renfrew departments called Directional Designers, Designer Eveningwear and the World Design Lab. If you want to learn about a buyer’s job and what a buyer thinks, then read our Q&A.

What's your story? (e.g. What did you do before, and how did you end up here?)
After working in various capacities within the retail world, I began my career at Holt Renfrew as the manager of the World Design Lab. I had always admired the concept and area and was excited to join Canada 's leading luxury retailer. I had only been working for Holt Renfrew for about a year when I was asked to take on more responsibility as the area sales manager of contemporary womenswear and eventually the area sales manager of Designer womenswear.

At the beginning of this year, I noticed that a buyer’s position had opened up in the designer world that I love, with a specific focus on Paris collections and the World Design Lab. I jumped at the opportunity and that is how I ended up in my current role. Holt Renfrew nurtures and grows talent and now every day is like a new learning experience for me.

Please describe your job as a buyer. What do you do in a typical workday?
As a buyer, every day is different, which is one of the things that I love about being a buyer.

A typical work day can include analyzing sellthroughs by color/style/price, focusing on upcoming markets by preparing strategies, market research, communicating with vendors, planning special marketing events for clients, store visits and travel.

What do you do on a buying trip?
Buying trips are a lot of work. A typical buying trip involves attending between 3- 8 appointments in one day(depending on type and size of collections) and working through with a vendor to select merchandise. In some of my bigger collections, that means taking collections that are 150 - 250 styles in size and picking 40 - 50 styles that will hit our floor. The one fabulous thing of buying trips during fashion weeks is the opportunity to go to runway shows. It is amazing the people you see and the energy in the room. It is truly one of the perks of being a buyer.

As a buyer, what grabs your attention?
I look for collections that will fit a niche market in Canada that we have not covered and collections that have a distinct point of view. There are hundreds and thousands of designers out there, and I need to ensure that I am not buying the same thing. I want excitement and something new, but must keep in mind that it needs to make sense for the market that I am buying for.

What is the best way for a new designer to approach you about selling his or her line in your store?
There are a few things that a new designer should keep in mind when approaching a retailer:

* They should know who their target customer and lifestyle is. The more you know about your customer the better.
* Five to ten pieces does not make a collection. In a store our size, a small collection will get lost and if a customer can not find you, they can't buy.
* Only show pieces that you believe in. I recently had a designer come in, and show pieces that you could visibly tell that she did not like herself. When questioning that designer, she fully admitted that she did not like the pieces, and was just showing them because she had them. If you don’t believe in them, no one else will either.
* Have a business plan. Know what your strategy is and how you plan to grow and distribute your collection.
* Know the store you are presenting to. I always want to know where a designer sees their collection hanging in our store and who their 'neighbours' would be.

If you have one piece of advice to new designers, what would it be?
It is a challenging world out there, but I do believe if you have talent, you will succeed. Ensure that you keep talking to people in the industry and listen to what they say. Be persistent and never sacrifice quality for quantity.
Finally, be passionate.

Do you have any advice for people who want to be buyers?
Be prepared for a busy lifestyle that involves spending more time in airplanes and airports than in fashion shows. It is a great job, but again if you are not passionate about fashion, then this is definitely not the job for you.

Should they study fashion at school or should they focus on gaining retail experience?
There is no hard rule to becoming a buyer, but in my experience, doing a little of both is an asset. A person that used to work with me in the World Design Lab was able to join the corporate team because they were working in the store while studying fashion.

You sell a lot of Canadian designers. What are your thoughts on the state of Canadian fashion?
I believe there is true talent in Canada and Holt Renfrew has been a long time supporter of Canadian design talent. We do not buy product from Canadian designers just because they are Canadian. We will stock the designers because they have won the position in our assortment through their merit.
