MEI VINTAGE BLOG

Good bye 2011. Hello 2012!! Year of the Dragon holds a special place in my heart for the Chinese Zodiac sign.  My grandmother, who is the proud owner of the  mini dumpling satchel , she was  born in the year of the Dragon, and she's the sweetest old lady.  She's such a great female role model.  Her ambition, wisdom, and passion for life holds true to her fierce dragon personality.   Aside from my bias, the Dragon is the most treasured sign because it is the mightiest of them all.  That means we’re all in for a mighty good year! Dragons tend to be dominant, very successful and ambitious. Dragons are driven, unafraid of challenges, and are risk-takers. So get ready, I think this year is going to be powerful!  Speaking of getting ready for a brand new year...   I was in search of a lucky charm the other day and I came across these adorable Chinese zodiac charm necklaces from a New York based jewelry designer, Alex Woo .  They are jus...

I wish you all the happiest of holidays!

The weather in LA has been a little bit unpredictable recently.  Last weekend the weather was sunny at the Renegade Fair in LA and today it's raining and chilly.  I woke up this morning to the sound of rain. It reminds me of Carpenters song, Raining Days and Mondays.  I enjoy listening to oldies growing up and I love Karen Carpenter's voice. She made me feel happy and loved and she had the most beautiful voice ever!  I am staying indoor today and enjoying her angelic voice while getting some work done.

H&M just announced a spring designs collaboration with the Italian brand Marni.  She's famous for its original prints and I LOVE prints! Check out the video here and as Tim Blanks quoted nicely "She aims for the sensuality of the mind".  So excited about this collaboration, and I think it's defiantly worth the wait.... in long lines!  Now I just have to find a girlfriend to wait with me ;)
