Chinese New Year 2024

Happy Chinese New Year! My greatest gratitude to the CHINA AIRLINES cabin crew that though the last-minute yet the warmest invitation makes the weekend holidays rock and roll in Venice of the North---Amsterdam!
Located in the Dutch province of North Holland, Amsterdam was founded at the mouth of the Amstel River, which was dammed to control flooding. Originally a small fishing village in the 12th century, Amsterdam became a major world port during the Dutch Golden Age, when the Netherlands was an economic powerhouse of the 17th century. Nowadays Amsterdam has been holding a long tradition of liberalism and fetishism, we gang stroll at Red Light District, dine in the freshest seafood and shop but not to drop until midnight.
The outfits in Amsterdam during the Chinese New Year are CHANEL 54% virgin wool and 46% cotton in navy blue, with CALVIN KLEIN 100% cotton Mom’s Fit high-waist jeans in indigo blue. For the outwear, the Guldknappen Award winner BY MALENE BIRGER offers both chic and soft personalities from the essence of fine fibers. The black long coat with slightly puffy sleeves during the weekend holidays contains 34% kid mohair, 34% wool, 27% polyamide and 5 % of elastane, and the label By Malene Birger carved on the bleak buttons, bestows the Nordic design of both detailed simplicity and high quality.
Made in Italy, BURBERRY PRORSUM 91% wool and 9% silk long scarf presents merely the off-white Equestrian Knight logo, is one of the best bargains I hunt at FINNAVIA duty free sales. Its 188x33 cm size is easy to wrap around the neck and the shoulders or the lightweight touch is comfy to place on the taps as an instant blanket during the dining time, and the black wool fringes gives out the rather feminine touch, surely dexterously to balance the Calvin Klein baggy shape of Mom’s Fit.
Though in July 2024, Burberry company announced a profit warning and suspended dividend payments, while under the accusation of using Uyghur forced labour camps provided by the Sunrise Manufacture Group Cooperation for production of clothing, still, my genuinely invoke that traditional houses of fashion altogether refuse to accept the cheap offers, due to the sustainability for the environment and the support of humanity. The clients would be very pleased to appreciate the good quality of craftsmanship rather merely the surprise on the price tags.
As for CHANEL accessories, AW22 espadrilles in black raffia outer soles, with pastel denim, sewn in golden threads CC logo complete navy and blue tone of outfits, and the rather both thicker inner and outer soles of new materials enable me to walk smoothly without hesitation in chilly windy Amsterdam.
Third time in Amsterdam, second visit at RIJKSMUSEUM, and now the first time to stay at NOVOTEL AMSTERDAM CITY, for my lovely night watch.
TOP TIP 1: Always carry a fine cashmere sweater in case of the midnight chill during the winter trip
TOP TIP 2: Tucking the sweater inside of rolling-up baggy jeans, showing off the ankles to reduce a rather puffy silhouette
