TBT: Can't believe it was 15 years ago at La Fabrique Club, Shanghai.

I was clearing up my hard drive today and I found this photo. I can't believe it was 15 years ago at La Fabrique Club, Shanghai. I wonder if the place is still open nowadays.  First time I met this girl Amanda. She told me that She was a Taiwanese Canadians.She definitely could drink a lot. She was really nice to me and we hanged out from time to time.

Unfortunately after I went back to Sweden, I did't ask for her contact so we lost touch. Then later on I found out from one of my friend in Shanghai that she has been lying about her identity the whole time not only to me but also to many people. Anyway whatever and whoever she was/is, good or bad person. I had a good time with her and I just wanna keep only a good memory about her. Hope she is doing well wherever she is now.

Leana, Congratulation my dear friend!

I just got a call from France the other day. It was from Leana. She told me a very good news. She got a great offer to work in Thailand for 6 months starting in 2 weeks. I am so excited for her ,and I am pretty sure that she will love Thailand. 

Congratulation my dear friend!!!!! I will miss hanging out with you here in Stockholm this summer but I am very very very happy for you dear. We see each other again soon ,and next time we will speak Thai :).

Lots of love/ xoxo

HOW TO DRESS AN APPLE-SHAPED BODY

APPLE: Some people mistake a pear-shaped body for an apple-shaped body. An apple-shaped body is heavy in the middle and above the waist, while a pear-shaped body is heavier below the waist and in the upper thighs. Here are some other characteristics of the apple-shaped body.

• A wide torso
• Broad shoulders
• An average-to-fuller bust
• An undefined waist
• Thinner arms and legs
• A flat bottom
• Hips that are narrower than your bust
• You don't have to have a very large belly to be apple shaped -- it just means that your center of gravity, or your extra weight, resides in your belly area.

Tops 

• First of all, since a lot of attention is going to be drawn to the top part of your body, get yourself a good fitting bra.
• Tops that highlight your body at the slimmest point which is often just underneath your bust. They should have enough space for your belly but not be too wide.
• Buy t-shirts that are ruched in the middle. This will confuse the eye and you can’t tell that there’s a big tummy underneath.
• Get Tops with a V-neck to break up the size of your chest and create a vertical line.
• Look for tops with a thicker texture that don’t cling so much. Woven tops can be great.
• The best height for tops is just belong your hipbone (when worn with pants)
• Patterns tend to look very good on a apple shape body as they flatter and camouflage.
• Tops should cover the whole belly area and end just below the hip bone.
• Shirts look nicest when they are tight just underneath the boobs and then go out. Also try to get the v shape with your shirts.
• Choose tailored jackets that have a nice v shape at the top.
• Tops that draw attention to your arms with e.g. flares, a flit or embroidery will draw attention from your belly
• Having a tie at your thinnest part is great as it highlights the waist and hides the belly. You don’t have to use your natural waist but can go higher.
• Structured jackets help to create a nice silhouette. Wear them over tops and make sure that they define your waistline.
• Make sure that the jacket fits the shoulder perfectly, so choose the size for your shoulders, not your belly. If you can’t close the jacket, you can always use a scarf to fill the gap if you like.
• Dresses should have their waistline just below the bust.
• It’s always good to have some detailing on the tummy area for camouflage.

Top for Apple-shaped Figure

For a long and lean silhouette

• Layer with a long cardigan or a long sleeveless vest
• Make sure the top underneath is not too short
• Try to have v-neck lines with your long long jumper or tops underneath the layering piece
• Longer tops and jackets that skim the body can be worn with leggings or skinny jeans

Bottoms

• Get trousers that have zippers at the side to avoid adding extra bumps on the front.
• Trousers should be flared or straight and not cling to tummy or thighs unless you are opting to create the long and lean silhouette using vertical lines (see above). Avoid pleats.
• Also choose jeans that are tailored and  either straight or flared. Trouser jeans are ideal.
• Pants with a high rise will create a nice silhouette.
• It’s best to get trousers with some stretch for extra comfort and a good fit.
• Choose skirts that have their zippers at the side.
• Structured pencil skirts work well, but keep them at knee length. Make sure to add the focus to the top with the tips above.
• Make sure that any pleats of skirts start below the belly to avoid adding extra volume.
