Though we've been seriously lacking in sunny days these past few weeks, there's a lovely moodiness to these grey days that I wanted to capture this morning. I'm beyond excited to have a dark wall again (it's Behr's Cracked Pepper by the way) and love the effect it has on this room now. I'm currently enjoying Lunch at the Shop by Peter Miller, and while the premise (the idea of making yourself a nice civilized lunch at your workplace) might not be directly applicable to my life since I work at home, I got it for recipe inspiration any way.
I've been throwing on this Acne sweater more times a week than not. It's super thick, petite-friendly with a bit of a cropped look in the front, and has this great side zipper detail. This particular pair of jeans marks my first foray into raw denim – I've been breaking them in since September and am looking forward to giving them their first wash come March or so. The added stretch helps them feel far more comfortable than the APCs I've tried on. Just don't wear them on any light-colored sofas!
I may have also found my new favorite orangish-red nail polish. It's 'Fire' by Dolce & Gabbana and so good. Just a bit more fun than a classic red.

I didn't hear about jeans not suppose to be washed so often until recently! I usually wash then after every 2 or 3 wears!

ReplyDeletehello Alice, do you keep 50mm f/1.2 after you get 50mm Zeiss Macro?
ReplyDeleteHi Leon -- I sold that lens after I got the Zeiss!
DeleteHi Alice, I didn't know where to look but are your Caribbean features with Conde Nast going to be published soon? I didn't see any previews on this site -- did you visit the Malliouhana on Anguilla (I gathered from the IG photos)? What did you think of it?
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda -- It won't be out until their Hot List issue in May. If you have any specific questions, feel free to email me! alicetgao[at]gmail.

ReplyDeleteHello Alice! Thanks for these gorgeous photos! But where is Avedon the Cat? I did not see him/her in your photos for a long time.
