Francophile

Every now and then, I take on some affectation of French love.  Well, who doesn't?  The rich culture, great food, cute accent, pretentious bourgeoisie, let alone all the dreamy touch that a girl may drool about.  Pearl necklace, Rococo, macaron and floral sundress on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées.

The tea tour in the Ladurée boutique yesterday triggered this outfit, which was shot in the garden of my private mansion. 

(Just kidding! It's the castle in Long Island. XD) 

Seashore breeze, clear sky, flamboyant color, and the retro hairband and flare skirt. Now I just need a glass of bubbly champaign to complete my dose of Francophile.

Coney Island

As a New Yorker for two years, I've never been to Coney Island, the place shown in many indie songs with a nostalgic tint.  So here I am, before the official ending of golden yet short summer of New York.

Having been to many beaches in California, I have to admit that Coney Island is by no means comparable to those beautiful ones in Sunshine State.  It feels like a smaller version of Santa Monica, with lots of family spending the good Sunday afternoon here, as well as the amusement park.  But after all, you can't have all the best things in New York.  Plus, I got to try Nathan's Hotdog eventually.  Another item checked from my list.

 

Something in common between New York and Cali--always end the beach with an ice cream or funnel cake. :D
