Miss Dior Exhibit - In My Opinion


If you follow Elysian Mind for a while, 
you may know that I recently paid a visit to Shanghai for a little #interfriendtion trip.
Before the trip, I have heard so many amazing compliments about this exhibition from my Shanghai friends, so I could not wait to discover the secret of Miss Dior myself.
And now, I am offering you a closer look at the exhibition; 
plus, a few random thoughts of my own after the visit.

#EMfashion Monthly Vogue Digestion: American Vogue August

A good magazine cover can tell a story;
but it takes tons of, millions of works from 
the sitting editors,
the photographers,
the models,
and even the celebrities
in order the capture the right moment.

This section is not only a place to critique the editorials,
but also a place to cherish the brilliant works done by those admirable people.
(And hopefully, I can become one of them)

#EMtravel: Hangzhou Photo Diary


Hangzhou Day 1:
Settling Down,
A walk to a very enigmatic and exotic street,
And a Japanese dinner.



Feeling overexcited, 
so I covered myself in black to tone myself down.

#EMfashion: Taylor Swift's Evolution

Maybe it was the VS fashion show performance last year, or the parting to Nashville, or the new haircut; Taylor Swift's style has also elevated into the next level.

Recently, I've been glancing through the paparazzi shots of Taylor. I am amazed by how much her personal style has changed when she is in New York. As if this city has glammed her up instantly. Cropped top, more skin, more flamboyant colors...Taylor literally turned NY into her runway. 

Every time, at the front of her apartment, paparazzi would wait faithfully for another comparatively shocking look.


Summer Beach Necessity --- Cover-ups

Summer is, personally, my favorite season, because of the shorts, tees, and the beach.
Right! Who doesn't love the beach!?
Sun-tanning, swimming, and body-staring... the list of pros for the beach can go on.
So, as a fashion blogger, 
when I am lying on a bench at the beach, I am always observing;
not the hot bods, but the clothes people choose to wear



Cover-up is a hugely important part for a complete outfit at the beach. 
It's irresponsible to miss it out. 
Cover-up can not only cover your body when you are not in the water, but it also gives you a second layer of sunscreen.
