LV accessory box and men’s casual jewellry that I think would look nice on him.

Siew May has a couple of Louis Vuitton catalogues which is balls of fun to look through. You really get a sense of true luxury from them. My favourite section is the old skool lugagge/trunks bit. I love that air of old world travel style.

When I was younger (oh I feel so old now, I might as well say “When I was a young girl…”) I used to love the ultra-modern ultra minimalist interior design styles. I liked cheerful, bright furniture too and it was always a hard toss-up between having a bleak concrete room with one metal chair in the corner and having cheerfully bright red star-shaped furry cushions. I did have a hankering for traditional authentic Japanese styles too. One thing I couldn’t really bring myself to admit to liking though were really traditional styles like British country house and French Louis XVI (er..not too sure which number it was)/decadence style.

Then as I grew older I begun to appreciate these traditional styles more. But not much more. But I had definitely moved away from the cold ultra minimalist styles (not bleeding practical I tend not to tidy up after myself). My preference most definitely moved towards authentic traditional Japanese with a side serve of traditional Song/Han Chinese.

It’s only really been in the last month that I’ve turned into a full-blown fan of French decadence/traditional European furniture. Luxury! Bulky furniture! Velvet satin and silk ahoy! Siew May’s house is full of fine furniture and the new upholstery she put on some old furniture is simply divine~ I love the leather Chesterfield sofa too~~

Also I guess watching Marie Antoinette just brought it all to a head. Will I actually furnish my rooms in this style when I get my own house? Unlikely though since the cost would be prohibitive and there is more matching and coordinating going on. It’s still not very practical from that perspective (one reason why I like simplicity and minimalism is that I’m just too lazy to coordinate all my furniture PLUS I’m too poor to buy all that too. Two birds with one stone!). But, you know, I’m warming up to the idea. Maybe further on down the track…when I build my mansion, one room could be like a Jane Austen drawing room…and I could have a full tea service and serve jam and scones! Muhaha!

LV Monogram Perle Earring pendant and necklace pendant
I love these. They look so pretty and feminine and elegant! And it’s not screaming out “LV!!” as so many branded goods are wont to do.
