Replay: Old is Gold.v3.

I like old movie, vintage furniture, retro style, and
basically I'm an old-fashioned girl.

There's always a story behind an old stuff which comes with age and experience.

Borrow an oversized vintage button-up shirt in fancy print from my boy.

It's fun and it can be manipulated in so many creative ways. (here)

Vintage ladylike dress express the tropical fever mood by featuring a
more subtle hue of pattern but in an exaggerated scale. (here)

Double up the lush by layer a tropical fruit (pineapple) print over a
flourishing tropical print dress.  

Layer up with classic chain print outerwear for some luxe and baroque touch.
Mix and match a colorful posh combo to go with my work day happiness. (here)

Pleats offer a classic vibe to garments that makes me instantly smitten by the fold.
This lovely pleats top was found during treasure hunting in my mom's closet. (here)



I would like to dress up like vintage doll with classic elegant style. (here)
Undoubtedly, double the old pleats means double the fun!



The Valentine's theme for my outfit is classy dressy yet snazzy
in retro chic style.  (here)
Keep things classic and elegant in black & white for a timeless romantic look.

I'm a great fan of mixing old and modern, 

restyled retro pieces in chic way are my passion. 

~old is gold~

Ketchup x Soufeel

When Finding Your Soul Feels So Good

Dear Dolls, here's to the collaboration between Ketchup and Soufeel; 

a privilege indeed for me to style and illustrate for Soufeel as 

Soufeel's jewelry itself is regarded as a work of art to me ^.^

亲娃，这是Ketchup和首饰品牌Soufeel的一个合作项目。
茄纸很欣喜能为Soufeel家的饰品绘画插图，既于我的鉴赏，

它家的首饰根本就是个艺术品。

For starters, Soufeel's bracelets are loved world wide, 

as the charms are changeable to fit various outfits and styles, 

while delightfully mix-matcheable from over 500 designs of charms;

ranging from an apple to an angel, or pets, flowers or a symbol of love, 

to whatever fits the mood.

尤其Soufeel家的手链，可从五百多颗缀饰里随个人喜好混搭，配出一条自我风格的首饰。

太吸引人了吧，难怪爱好者跟是广布世界各地。

一颗颗述说你我故事的缀饰，凡是你讲得出的（或想不起来的），
不管是个苹果，天使，宠物仰或是个爱心符号，都一应俱全。

In addition to it's beauty, the charms are also meaningful and are

 fun to be matched according to different occasions.

They are also a fashionable way to cherish worthwhile moments, events or
people in our lives. (eg: wedding, graduation, birthday and etc)

缀饰不但造型漂亮，而且每一个又都有特殊含义。

从中串出属于自己的故事，打造一条独一无二又充满意义的手链。

大家也能选合适的缀饰品记录生命中难忘的时刻，如结婚，毕业，生日等等。

Soufeel products adopt 925 sterling silver, Swarovski crystals and 

colored gems as main raw materials. 

They are beautifully packaged in a white gift box laced with blue ribbon.

If you're looking for a personalized gift, 

Soufeel jewelry is probably your perfect choice ^.^

Soufeel家的银饰都是很有质感的925纯银，并用Swarovski水晶及彩色宝石作点缀，

乃每一颗缀饰都很精致。

尤其喜欢那包装优雅的白色礼盒，系上水蓝色缎带，多好看！

是个个性化定制式礼品的最佳选择。非常适在纪念日，赠送给自己或特别的人。

Besides the wide range of charms and bracelets, 

Soufeel also offers necklaces and rings to complement your style. 

If you are interested, please check out their website here: Soufeel

(gentle reminder: once you go for it, there'll be no turning back! haha) 

However, Soufeel jewelries always offer adorable designs with sensible prices ^.^

当然，Soufeel除了手链，还有项链及戒指的饰品，有兴趣的美眉可以点进去看看。

（温馨提醒示：奉劝没事不好闯入它家，免得踏上这条精彩的集邮不归路！哈哈）

不过话说它家的饰品，造型漂亮之余，价格也蛮可爱的啦。

FYI, it took me an hour to browse through Soufeel's website for selecting

Ketchup's personalized charms according to the given budget. 

Obviously, I was lost and overwhelmed by the amount of the charming charms presented. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant experience and I really enjoyed it ^.^ 

Whatever you do, just remember to stay calm and set a theme,

 then you can take your own sweet time selecting.

通常刚开始游览看到喜欢的缀饰都会失心疯，统统都想拥有。

本茄可是花了整个小时来精挑细选属于茄纸的缀饰。

然而那是个愉快的体验，茄纸我还蛮享受的。

切记千万要冷静，设了主题，慢慢看慢慢选，反真没有麻烦到柜台小姐～

To build a Soufeel bracelet one would start by choosing the bracelet itself.

I got myself a classic bracelet - Rose Gold clasp with a stopper. 

Bangle and leather bracelets are also available should they fit your preference.

Next step would be to choose the bracelet lengths ranging from 16 cm to 23 cm.

Make sure you leave some room for the charms as their collection will grow!

下定决心拥有Soufeel手链的第一步就是选择手链本身。

茄纸选的是经典款系列中的玫瑰金扣搭配银色手链。

为了提供个人合宜的款式，它家还具有镯子和皮革材质的手链任君选择。

下一步就是选择手链的尺寸， 长度范围设在16 cm to 23 cm之间。

建议不要选太合手，毕竟还要留点空隙给未来的缀饰们(下季新款式，难保又有心头好）。

Then follow by the most fun process which is to select the charms that could 

carry special meanings for us individually. 

This is an essential step to explore one's creativity while expressing 

her personality through the selection process.

Ketchup selection on Soufeel's charms are an (Evil*)Eye and a Compass; 

as to achieve my dreams, Ketchup need to keep my eyes open and 

with the guidance of a master compass to keep me in the right direction. 

(*An evil eye is a "lucky charm", 

it guards against misfortune and bad things happening in one's life)

+They look just nice when used as a pendant for necklaces+

接下来就是最好玩的选购缀饰过程了。

这步骤就是发挥个人创意及树立个人特色的关键时刻了！

那你可知道这条串上两颗缀饰的手链，是在提醒着茄纸，为梦想而奋斗吗？

为了实践我的梦想，茄纸需要明眼＊让茄纸能留心专注，

然而精准的指南针欲引领着茄纸，确保我向正确的方向前进。

（＊挂上evil eye，象征幸运，并保护以让人远离危险与一切厄运）

＋把缀饰个别串在项链上也挺好看哟，有没有＋

And so I'm done! I have just owned a Ketchup selected Soufeel charms collection.

How about you? ^.^

Be it a bracelet with one or two charms or a bracelet full with charms, 

beware as these charms could get addictive once you start collecting. 

As I'm posting, there are still some charms popping up on my desire list. 

*Specially for my dolls, get an extra 5% off any purchase via Soufeel's website

好了，我这就拥有了一条茄纸专属的个性化Soufeel缀饰手链。那你呢？

如果你也想收藏Soufeel的缀饰，建议可以先选一两颗代表个人特质的缀饰作搭配。

如觉得这样有点单调，可以添加几颗之后再慢慢凑满！

当心，这会让人迅速上瘾着魔，因为这根本就是要勾起女人们疯狂收集漂亮小饰品的欲望嘛！

现在茄纸的欲望清单就还有好多颗想要拥有的缀饰，希望之后有缘可以把她们都带回家。

＊娃儿们可以于购买Soufeel首饰时输入KT5以获得五巴仙额外折扣，优惠期至7月20日＊

Last but not least, I'm here to remind all of my dolls: 

it'd be wise to not follow the trend when selecting the charms. 

The focal point is to collect the charms according to your personal preference, 

thus to own an unique yet meaningful bracelet that is dedicated to represent you.

By giving worthwhile value, 

I believe every set of jewelry is charming, exclusive and distinctive.

最后提醒娃们千万不要为了追随潮流而乱买，重点是依个人喜好或特质来选缀饰，

再搭配出一条属于自己，又特别有意义的幸福手链。
我相信每一条赋予情感价值的串链都是独特迷人的无价宝藏。

Lastly, I would like to thank Soufeel for such a meaningful find.
在此要特别鸣谢 Soufeel 赠于茄纸这份富有意义的饰品。

Replay: Stripes Addict.v2.

If floral seems too girly for you, while leopard too loud and
geometric too tricky...

Perhaps best of all, STRIPES are the most versatile pattern in our closet ^.^

Don't be afraid to mix prints as the pattern had just the right color scheme to 

tie well together with other pieces, yet without looking too loud. (here)

Think beyond basic striped item : striped heels instantly glam up any outfit.
So have fun to be a team player and play around with this timeless print!
(here)

Mixing prints may boast a loud, playful motif,

but a classic silhouette make it refined enough for work.

Step out with confident and make a statement! (here)

Everyone looks fantastic in brights - as neon is the new black. 

Gorgeously graphic outfit work well with timeless stripes envelope clutch. (here)

Go for simple sneakers while an eye-catching pattern clutch to add
a playful twist for thee classic stripes jumpsuit. (here)

If there's one pattern that typically isn't a challenge to wear, it's STRIPES.

But, by wearing stripes with contrasting lines, it can be daring. (here)

Doubtlessly, Stripes are neutrals and a wardrobe power player.

It's means that we could pair them with others prints with endless possibilities.

Have a great day~
Ketchup ^.^
