In the mood for

Satin, velvet, something soft that reflects light...

I love this red silk satin pouchette by The Row. It looks like a flower.

The kimono style opera coat by Samuji will take all my outfits to the next level. Instead of orange, I pre-ordered it in navy.

Lunching at Duddell’s in Hong Kong, I could not take my eyes of the yellow velvet seating that managed to be surprising and totally in harmony at the same time. Mind-blowing dim sum, too.

As for the home, I have some spare velvet fabric that I could use for re-upholstering a chair or making seat pads for the brushed aluminum Navy chairs in our kitchen. I like the combination of soft and hard textures, glossy and matte finishes in this kitchen.
