Pastel Pink

It's no secret that pastel is taking over this spring and summer. But instead of wearing this trend from head to toe to make an unnecessary statement, I decide to intergrade some pastel hints to my outfit to create a fresh spring look. 

柔和的粉笔色毫无疑问绝对是今年春夏的主打色啦。不过与其全身上下都穿着这种色彩来展示这个流行元素,还不如微妙地引入到我的服饰里来呈现一个清新的春天着装。

We took these photos during the weekend when we went to visit Mr.S's parents in Oakville. The beautiful weather was pleasant enough for us to walk around and enjoy the uniqueness that the local boutiques have to offer. Few days ago, I read about how the businesses in downtown Oakville were struggling due to the combination of increased rent, less traffics and the brutal winter. So many stores have closed or are planning to close theirs doors for good. My heart was pinching after the read. I personally love to shop in local boutiques- not only to find the unique pieces that you won't find in those big retail shops, but also to personally connect with the owners and get to know their stories. I really hope that something positive and supportive will be happening in downtown Oakville again.

这组照片是这个周末我们去看望S先生父母时在Oakville拍的。当天的天气可谓是非常宜人啊,我们也趁机好好在特色的市中心转了转,欣赏一下当地的小商铺。就在几天前我看报纸时读到这个市中心商铺的生意可是非常难做-由于租金涨价,人流量少以及残酷冬天的综合打击而导致的。当我看到这则新闻时确实感到很揪心。我向来对当地的精品商店由衷的喜爱,不仅可以掏到许多在连锁品牌店无法找到的精品,还可以与店主有更亲密的交流。但愿Oakville市中心的商铺会有一些起色吧。

Talking about shopping local, I bought this hair band in a local shop called  Durumi & Chocolate Shoes right at Queen and Spadina in Toronto. This piece originally was just a hair band (Check out my Instagram where captured how I wore it to the Toronto Fashion Week), but I thought it'd be funny to put it as a bow tie. So I wore it as a joke and showed it to Mr.S, but to my surprise we both ended up loving how it looks. Ha Ha!

提到在当地消费,我在多伦多Queen和Spadian的附近的一家店铺里买了这个发葜。当然本来它只是一个发葜的,但是我就想说把它当成一个领带应该会很好玩。我就戴着给S先生看,想不到我俩都对这个结果感到很满意。哈哈!
