Hej from Stockholm

Hej from Stockholm,

Hej in Swedish means hello. Yes, I am in Stockholm again. As I mentioned in my previous blog entries, I am so in love with Scandinavian designs. I will for sure bring home some of my favorites on my wishlist.

If you are 1) a fan of Scandinavian designs (not just Swedish designs), 2) want to get some Scandinavia designs for home decoration/for your wardrobe & 3) live in the bay area, please leave me a note. I would love to connect with you.

Desigual-a fashion brand that becomes my new like

vivaliving — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 17:06:39 +0000

Desigual is a Spanish wear brand founded in 1984. I got to know this brand by shopping in San Francisco downtown area. Several reasons that I love this brand: 1. The styles are awesome, 2. The designers are brave enough to use lots of bright colors on the clothes, 3. The patterns are great. I love the asian-infused patterns that they use, such as dragon, 4. The sizes are well tailored. The smallest size that they have can fit a petite lady like me. Yeah!

Check out some of the nice Desigual design!

Are you interested in making yourself a leather item? If you happen to be in Hong Kong, check out the fungas workshop in Hong Kong.

Next time when I am in Hong Kong, I think I will sign up the leather workshop at this place. If you took the leather workshop at this place before, please let me know whether or not you enjoyed the workshop for my reference. Thanks!
