Fresh Start with A "Smile"

For the first time, I'm having difficulty in writing a blog post. I wrote the intro, and erased it, and then wrote something fresh, and then erased it again... I guess I'm having mixed feelings about 2014. I have to say there were many things in 2013 that I wish have never happened. I'm kind of sad to once again let another year go yet curious but nervous about what the new year will bring. I think a moment like this is meant for reflection, recharging and making a change.  

这种情况之前从来没发生过。我花了很长时间来写这篇博文，写了又改，改了也不满意。也许是因为我对新年的到来有种百感交集的感觉吧。一是感叹过去的一年里发生了许多不尽如人意的事情，再是对2014年有种纠结复杂的心情。不过，我想这正是一个回顾，反思，警醒的好时刻吧。

If you've been reading my blog lately, you may have already realized my obsession to this comfortable and versatile pullover from Isabel Marant for H&M(last seen here).

With the "smile" writing on the shirt, I always feel having a more positive energy whenever I put it on. Do you ever feel the words written on your shirt or inscribed on your jewellery can affect your mood?

如果你近来比较关注我的博客的话，可能已经注意到我对这件灰色上衣的情有独钟了。它上面写的字使我每次穿上它，都似乎能感觉到一股很积极正面的能量。你有没有过类似的经历呢？

  

Thank you so much for reading. We really appreciate your time. Wish you all just kicked off your New Year with a fresh and positive start. 

很感谢你们抽时间来阅读。祝愿你们大家拥有一个充满积极力量的崭新的开始。
