Cozy in the Swiss Alps

Ready Set Snow

I spent Christmas very cozily at our place in the Swiss Alps. I love those days of peace and calmness, when you can take a break from daily life in chunky knits and loose-fit pants.

My look: Oversized alpaca-blend sweater and iconwool and cashmere-blend pants, both by Stella McCartney and Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis.

Chinese New Year 2011: The Golden Rabbit

Happy New Year to my Chinese readers!

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2011 is the Year of the Golden Rabbit, which begins today on February 3,2011 and ends on January 22, 2012. The Rabbit is the fourth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animal signs.

According to Chinese tradition, the Rabbit brings a year in which you can catch your breath and calm your nerves.

What a wonderful New Year’s Resolution! Here is my cozy rabbit-inspired outfit suggestion including pieces by some Asian-American designers!

LoL, Sandra
