A fabulous accessory is the best way to look "in"
for a new season. Shoes and bags are the primary
accessories. As winter is around the corner, you
may have loads of options with regard to shoes but a
pair of trendy high boots, which can go well with almost
any kind of dress, skirt or jeans, is worth opening your
wallet for. Rachel Bilson and Jessica Biel wear theirs
with skinny jeans while Rihanna matches her above-theknee
boots with fringes with her rock and punk uppers.
In terms of bags, small-sized clutches and oversized
bags are both popular this fall. Luxurious bejeweled
hues and metallic tones seem to be the two main
trends of this season. On the other hand, celebrities
mostly prefer bags in low-key and casual color tones
for daily use, such as Ashley Tisdale, Gisele Bundchen
and Keira Knightley. Agyness Deyn is different. She has
a small bag featuring long metallic 80s-style stud-andchains
details, which reflects her unique ... ... |

| FOR LADIES
The French Press
Starbucks 350RMB/8 cup sizes Tiamo (from Japan) 60RMB
Coffee made in a French press will offer the same depth of coffee flavor that you would normally find in a professional coffee outlet.
How to make
Put 10g of coffee into 180ml of boiled water. Add the grounds and pour in the hot water to about a half inch from the top. Stir and carefully replace the extended plunger assembly on top of the carerafe. Allow to brew for around four ?minutes. The coffee should be 'had' within 20 minutes.
FOR ARTISTS
The Syphon Maker (TCA)
BE (from Taiwan) 290RMB
Coffee prepared in a syphon is often lighter, purer (as it requires less coffee) and much more romantic. Making a fresh brew while reading a book can even give you that lazy 'Bohemian-morning' feeling.
How to make
Okay, so it may look li ... ... |

When adapting your needs for the outdoor life, everything you desire can be found right here. Functional and practical, and with everything imported from abroad, you can choose items such as the SIGG water bottle (100RMB-300RMB) for cycling, driving, jogging, mountain climbing, fishing and so on. Better still, they can also keep coke, orange juice, fresh milk, and even the odd cheeky tipple. Fancy some sharp binoculars to follow wildlife? Steiner's telescopes from Germany are sold in many models. Their night version model (9,900RMB), while rather ?expensive, is highly recommended. Plus they also have scopes for birding, astronomy, hunting and marine watching. Why not try the Swedish LMF lunch box (258RMB), made of eco-green PP materials? Their triangular shape can stand very high pressures. And don't forget c ... ... |
