Audrey Hepburn's Speedy 25

My good friend, Tukky, mentioned today that she recently acquired a Louis Vuitton classic Speedy. This image of Audrey Hepburn with her LV Speedy 25 at an airport comes to the top of my mind. Speedy 25 is such a great bag, always stylish and classic, just like the way Audrey Hepburn has been.

Good choice, Tukky!

Tod's Mocasino Country Club

It's the middle of rainy season here in Bangkok, and it is not a good time for all my Tod's Gommini shoes... they can stand some splashes of water on a yacht deck, but not the wet streets of Bangkok.

Among these non water proof shoes is the the Tod's Mocasino Country Club that I recently picked up. They are one of my favorite pairs... so it is time for them to be put away, see you again in the summer.

The 'House' of Chanel

This newly open boutique of Chanel in Saint-Tropez, called 'the House of Chanel' (25 rue François Sibilli), is such a beautiful boutique with space indoor and outdoor. I hope to have a chance to visit this boutique one day.

CÉLINE Cabas Tote

I am so in love with this Céline Cabas Tote. The lambskin is so soft, the caramel color is my favorite, and the orange base is a nice touch. It is so calling my name....

The other day, I stopped by at the Celine shop in Bangkok (at Gaysorn Plaza), there is one in horizon shape, similar color but no orange trim. There is also another one in red. They are so beautiful.

Hermes Kelly Double Tour Bracelet

Sometime it takes a while to get use to new items. Even the moment you purchase it you know exactly how are you going to wear it.

Like this Hermes Kelly Double Tour bracelet for me, it takes months for to break in. Maybe because I like wearing my Hermes Cape Cod Double Tour watch almost everyday, so there was no time for me to get used to the bracelet (how can you wear double tour on two hands). But once I put down the watch, and found the right outfit to go with this bracelet, I can't stop wearing it.

Always in Style: LV Alma in Monogram Canvas

When thinking about the classic Louis Vuitton city bags, the iconic Alma in Monogram canvas comes to the top of my mind. Its simple shape, perfectly-sized handle, and the design that allows it to open all the way down makes the Alma both stylish and practical.

What about your opinion?

Wish List: Vintage Glasses

I have been looking for a new pair of reading glasses, particularly in a vintage black or tortoise tone, a pair of Tom Ford's would be nice. But it is so difficult to find a pair that suit my face.

Classic picture of Yves Saint Laurent in Paris in 1957, the day before the opening of his first collection for Christian Dior. He looks so stylish in this dapper suit and these glasses.

Can't wait for this.

Check Out: The Best Tea in the World

I am a coffee person, but I also truly enjoy drinking tea.

Mariage Frères is my favorite tea house and, in my opinion, is the best tea in the world. A cup of Mariage Frères tea with sconces would make an afternoon so perfect.

I have quite a few Mariage Frères tea in my collection. And these are my three favories:

Marco Polo (flovered black tea with Chinese and Tibetan fruits and flowers, brilliant bouquet smell)
Thé à l'Opéra (green tea enhanced with fragrance of red berrries and spices)

Black Orchid (smooth black tea with spicy vanila)

A cup of Black Orchid at home on a Sunday afternoon :-)

BOF Favorite: Monogram Vernis Animaux Collection

Another entry about LV items for this month.

My last trip to Louis Vuitton shop, I spotted these cute coin purses. It is the new Monogram Vernis Animaux collection being released in 2010 to celebrate the Valentine’s day.

The collection inspiration is from Gaston Vuitton’s wife who used to run a toy store on Avenue Marceau from 1945 to 1970. Materials are mix between Monogram Vernis, Monogram Canvas and snake skin, and they come in six different designs including bird, rooster, rabbit and squirrel.

They are so cute!

This new coin purse collection reminds me of Louis Vuitton's Conte de Fees collection in 2002. Collaboration between Marc Jacob and artist Julie Verhoeven, the Conte de Fees collection brought the magic of fairly land with mythical animals in the mix of signature LV patterns.

Check Out: LV Trash Bag

Check out this Marc Jacob's reinterpretation of a trash bag for Louis Vuitton S/S 2010 women collection. It is called Raindrop Besace. I think it is a Cool idea...

BOF Favorite: LV Backpacks

Will backpack made a comeback this summer? Or maybe it has never left the fashion scene?

I am not a big fan of backpack. Eventhough I like the fact that a backpack adds an interesting element to your back, but it messes up your shirt and jacket you wearing.

These are the backpacks from Louis Vuitton Men Spring/Summer 2010 collections that I adore.

Get ready to 'Carrie On'

My heart beat fast with joy when the release time of Sex and the City Movie sequel was announced: May 27th, 2010.

And I am so excited to see the movie trailer was out. I watched it a couple of times to collect all the scenes details especially the outfits... I can't wait to share all the fun, story of friendship, smart and funny lines and 'big' fashion with my girlfriends this summer.

Take a quick look on the fashion

BOF Favorite: Perfect Combinations

I love perfume. I select fragrances that portrait my mood, suit for occasions and time of the day.

Different scents say different thing to me. In the morning, I love something with fresh fruit or citrus smell. In the evening, I prefer something with darker note and a touch of spice. And sometime my mood reflects by my scent selection of that day.

Jo Malone is my favorite perfumer. Good thing about their fragrance is that it allows you to create unique scent of your own. By combining two different fragrances, you have a unique scent to wear at different time.

I always use the limited edition "Dark Amber & Ginger Lily" as base scent, and combine it with "Lime Basil & Mandarin", or "Vanilla & Anise" or sometime "Grapefruit" for a daytime use. At night, I normally use Dark Amber & Ginger Lily alone.

Wish List: Custom Tailoring Suits

These are on my list list when it comes to custom tailoring suits and jackets.

Classic navy-blue blazer:

Double breasted suit in plaid.

Classic one-button formal jacket
