September 13-16, Vienna, Austria
Having been planning with parents to reunite in Vienna since August, not only do I schedule my own city tour, but also track the weather forecast, in order to travel trendy and light. Departure at 08:30 from Helsinki, carrying American Tourist cabin luggage and Chanel leather mini tote, safely and sound I arrive at Wien at 10:00 am, on Friday the 13 with 25 Celsius degrees.
Located in the neighbourhood of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, The Plague Column (Pestsäule) is a Holy Trinity monument located in the Graben shopping area. Under the comment of Habsburg emperor Leopold I, erected after the Great Plague epidemic in 1679, the Baroque memorial with Nine Choirs of Angles, is one of the most prominent sculptures conveys the complex iconography of Austria. The basic message of the column is that the plague and the Ottomans’ Second Siege of Vienna (1683), both of them punishments for sin; In addition, the western face dedicated to God of Father, while the eastern face is associated with Son of God, and the northern face, which belongs to the Holy Spirits, all together establish a connection between the sacral design and the Habsburg monarchy.
Meeting parents, auntie and the other tour members at the most recognizable column, joining them the afternoon tea time and dinner, the outfit code of mine is casual but a bit edgy. American Apparel Midnight navy Disco Pants with 90% nylon and 10% Spandex is ultra flattering, with heavy woven fabric shaping and moving during the city walk is easy. Chanel glittering lambskin espadrilles with cotton woven logo provides the feel of holiday; together with straw knit top in milk white by Month of Sundays, balances a rather darker bottom tones.
Milla Kettunen, the designer behind MONTH OF SUNDAYS, always greets me in lovely spirits while we meet either at her previous Helsinki studio or at Design Market 2019. The label’s can be traced back to the 50’s where the saying was used to define an unpredictable long period of time. Therefore, Month of Sundays refers to brand’s ageless with high quality materials; my knit top of the day was made in Italian-spun dry cotton, rolling hem design allows the piece reversible, which subverts the front-back concept of an item. The milky white colour is a great combination with Chanel SS18 100% cashmere dark blue/white stripe cardigan.
As for accessories, Chanel leather tote with quilt and chevron patterns can restore Chloé sunglasses, cosmetic pouch, long wallet, map of Vienna, mini snacks, monthly schedule and even more, for instance, family souvenir from Taiwan and Czech Republic! The discreet design of 0-logo and ruthenium zipperavoid my worry of theft on the road, still convey the high quality of the house craftsmanship.
At Holy Trinity monument, I even instruct my dad how to dodge the photo bombs, nail the zooms for the fashion fun photography within 20 minutes before the group dinner at Gösser Bierklinik near Graben neighbourhood. This how I meet my parents during Autumn Festival (中秋節): They spend 13 hours from Taipei and I departure early from Helsinki. 3D plus my auntie share the funniest conversation in a month of Sunday, Vienna, Austria.
TOP TIP 1: Bring a light weighted cashmere/wool cardigan to prevent the ultra sunlight without spreading over doze of UV cream
TOP TIP 2: milk cream colour is good combination with midnight blue, hazel orange or pastel pink
Special Thanks: Mom & Dad & Auntie
