Paris on my mind

Il n’y a que deux endroits au monde où l’on puisse vivre heureux:  chez soi et à Paris.
(There are only two places in the world where we can live happy:  at home and in Paris.)
— Ernest Hemingway

a little trinket i bought since my last visit to the City of Light a few years ago

cast in exquisite 18k yellow gold and studded with nineteen perfect diamonds…

the Eiffel Tower Charm is an iconic symbol of an iconic city

and a precious reminder of the the city i fell in love with.

i shall return one day =)

nailed it!

"For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
for want of a shoe the horse was lost;
and for want of a horse the rider was lost;
being overtaken and slain by the enemy,
all for want of care about a horse-shoe nail."
-Benjamin Franklin
The Way to Wealth (1758)

a personal reminder that something of great importance may depend on an apparently trivial detail.

shot through the heart: my Louis Vuitton F/W 2012 Menswear picks

these jabot pins shaped like arrows with feathers painted to replicate Gaston Vuitton's personal monogram are an instant hit.


i MUST have one. oh, and this necktie too:

im happy to see the Karakoram blanket showing up once again

the bomber in ochre is particularly appealing. more so if it is reversible

and i am very intrigued by this new Damier interpretation. the nautical feel of the superimposed rope grid reminds me of the Ouvea pattern from Spring 2006.

the bags looks prohibitively expensive, but the cashmere rug looks doable.

Kim Jones' successful transition as LV menswear director secures his spot as among the ones to look forward to every season.

Louis Vuitton Empreinte Bracelet Lien


bought meself a little happy a couple of months ago.


the Louis Vuitton Empreinte Bracelet Lien

this unisex bracelet features a white gold Monogram flower attached to an adjustable & interchangeable silk lace.

this little piece gets full marks including the highly recognizable French eagle’s head hallmark (in use since 1838) indicating that this piece is 18 carat gold.

as part of the Empreinte fine jewellery collection, the tiny concaves seen on profile are inspired by the imprints of the nail heads traditionally used on Louis Vuitton trunks.

this prepossessingly casual & understated piece of jewellery is now among my wrist stack favourites
