My "Star Wars" Outfit






Last week, the new Star Wars was released. For this occasion, I am posting a few outfits to celebrate the occasion.
The black and white themed outfit represents Han Solo, as played by Harrison Ford. The black turtle-neck jumper represents Darth Vader. With these, here I come !
By the way, this black outfit with the pink soft coat, delicate like Princess Leia Outfits, will be perfect for the holiday season.

Santa Claus has come to town, Darth Vader you can leave, the lady in pink is coming haha !
May the Force be with you, Happy Holidays to all !!

Kiss Kiss , not in a Star Wars mood, but Kiss Kiss in a Star Peace !

Shopping on Thanksgiving





Thanksgiving is one of my favorite Holidays. Americans plays the game deeply: Lots of parties, foods, and football. Beautiful fall trees, food, more food.
Black Friday shopping became a kind of American Culture. Stores are open with deals, everything everywhere is wildly crowded all this week. The Mall is super busy, everyone is carried a shopping bag with enthusiasm. I think that people are shopping not only for what they want, but also for dreams and hopes.
I bought a scarf from Express at Thanksgiving week. It is an oversized blanket scarf, super soft and warm. It is perfect for cold weather .
Above, I showed you some photos, and some photos make me think of Thanksgiving.

Paris Paris ## Amore Love

We took these pictures before the terrible events of Paris. I didn't know if I could post them as I was smiling on some of them. Everybody tell us to keep hope, to keep smiling, Paris is about life, so I wanted to post these pictures.
I also want to share some quotes from people, from here and there, from around the world, no matter what.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles --Charlie Chaplin

 Come here! I want to give you a hug. Okay, now have a good day !

 cheer up!
Sometimes you need to fall before you can fly.

 Love is the flower you've got to let grow -- John Lennon
 The best way to cheer yourself  up is to try to cheer somebody else up --Mark Twain
 Use your smile to change the world, don't let  world  change your smile.

When you think you are not happy with your life, 
always think someone is happy simply because you exist.

Paris is about life.

Pray for Paris

We traveled in Europe, and spent two days in Paris last month.
We feel very sad about the terrorism event happened in Paris last night. We hope the world will be peaceful, no war and no terrorism of any forms. Pray for Paris ..My heart goes out to all in Paris.
Here is a selection of photos when we was in Paris.

Strasbourg, France

Strasbourg, France, is one of the truly great cities of Europe, especially because of its large historic zone, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 
It's seat of the European Parliament and sits near the German border, with culture and architecture blending German and French influences.
