The 8 golden rules for shoe care - Ferragamo
It seems like it takes a lot effort to take care of the shoes :)
1. A NEW PAIR OF SHES SHOULD NEVER BE WORN FOR MANY CONSECUTIVE HOURS. ONCE YOUR FEET ARE COMPLETELY ACCUSTOMED TO THE SHOES, YOU CAN BEGIN TO WEAR THEM ALL DAY.
2. NEVER WEAR THE SAME PAIR OF SHOES TWO DAYS IN A ROW. LET THEM REST FOR AT LEAST A DAY BEFORE WEARING THEM AGAIN.
3. ALWAYS USE A SHOEHORN WHEN PUTTING ON YOUR SHOES.
4. BEFORE REMOVING A LACE-UP SHOE, LOOSEN THE LACES COMPLETELY SO THE SHOE SLIPS OFF MORE EASILY.
5. ONCE SHOES ARE TAKEN OFF, INSERT THE MADE-TO-MEASURE SHOETREES.
6. SHOETREES SHOULD ALSO BE USED WHEN SHOES ARE WET FROM RAIN OR SNOW: LEFT TO DRY FOR AN ENTIRE DAY.
7. EACH TIME YOU WEAR A PAIR OF SHOES THEY SHOULD BE CLEANED AND POLISHED.
8. WHEN YOU DON’T WEAR YOUR SHOES, WAX AND PUT THEM IN A DRAWSTRING, AND KEEP DOWN IN A BOX.

Caviar Manicure
You might eat Caviar or even use it in some facial products before. But, have you tried Caviar Manicure??
The idea is coming from an English brand Ciaté, founded by Charlotte Knight who is one of the UK’s leading nail technicians. The Caviar Manicure collection comes with 3 different colours: Rainbow, Black Pearls, Mother of Pearl.
Here is the video of how to apply-> http://youtu.be/7CTKNqUP-ms
Very interesting manicure!!! But it’s been completely sold out online, so you have to register for waiting list. Well, I’m sure it will be worth waiting for something that unique!

Avengers USB
Along with the great hit of Avengers in every cinema, Avengers USB hit the market as well!!! Wanna have the indestructible shield of Captain America, the massive fist of Hulk, the suit of Iron Man, or the hammer of Thor? Now is the time!! :)
What’s the English style means to them?
Kind of a bit disappointed, was hoping to see more creative in their styles…

2012 is all about London
Breeze Center is a popular shopping mall in Taipei with many luxury brands and international designer brands. Every year, there will be one ‘Breeze Night’ with special offer and events on that specific evening. The evening is closed for VIP,socialist,celebrity and anyone who have invitation only, it’s also kind of a big fashion event in Taiwan.
And this year the topic is London!! As everyone knows the 2012 London Olympics is happening, I kind of feel like London is another term for 2012. (Now we already know 2012 is not gonna be the end of the world since some archaeologists have found no proof, so 2012 is definitely belongs to London)
Let’s see the shopping mall and the invitation first, and leave the dressy people for tomorrow! ;)
