Yesterday I heard a baby cry. Not my baby, someone else’s. In the past, the high pitched sobs would have been audible garbage to me. I’d wish I had selective hearing to filter out the annoying wails, and I’d think to myself “Just make it stop!”. But lately, God has been softening my heart. Babies’ cries no longer fall on deaf ears. Since having had Winston, I now empathise with mothers with crying children, and even want to go and comfort them (both moms and their bubs)! Not only have I grown to accommodate baby howls, I’ve also started to ‘hear’ people’s needs better in our conversations. It’s as if I’ve developed a new set of ears.
Surely you’re not confusing my ‘new ears’ with these new ears :) These adorable silk floral ones are handcrafted by Melbourne designer Eva Q. She is known for her delicate gowns made with haute-couture qualities. And being the eco-friendly champion she is, Eva refused to let intricate fabric cut-offs go to waste, instead, she created these adorable embellished headpieces. They may not guarantee you develop ears of sensitivity, but they sure are cute!
You may recognise these Lucy Choi Slippers from this Instagram photo. I’ve been searching high and low for a velvet pair, so when I saw this gunmetal pair with toe-caps, I couldn’t resist! Since hubby bought us a new cat car for Valentine’s Day, these have become the perfect driving shoes.
Now that VAMFF is well and truly over, we can all take a breather. Inhale. Exhale… until MBAFW!
I used to vow that I would never fly with a baby because all they do is cry. But guess what? I just booked flights for Sydney fashion week! It will be our first trip with Winston. I sure hope that he will continue to be a good baby or perhaps that the passengers may also develop empathetic hearing? If you’ve had experience flying with a newborn or a pram, please share!

昨天我听到一个婴儿的哭声。不是我的宝贝，别人的。过去，一听到婴孩的哭声就会让我很反感,我巴不得那孩子的家长能快点让孩子停止哭泣 。但最近，神软化了我的心。我不光能忍受婴儿的啼哭声,我还心里为他们担心。自从我有了宝宝后，我会同情那些哭闹孩子们的母亲，甚至想去安慰他们 ！最近我也发现，我开始能更清晰地“听到”别人的需要.好像我长了一幅新的耳朵。
当然我新的“耳朵”并不是这幅新的耳朵:)这幅可爱的丝绸花耳朵是墨尔本设计师Eva Q手工做的.她的特产是精心手工制作的礼服。最近,为了不想浪费漂亮的裙子布料,Eva用这些剩下来的布料创造了这些可爱的头饰。它们不一定能保证你的’听力’会更开发,更敏力，但它们真可爱啊！
你可以从这张Instagram照片上认出这双Lucy Choi 拖鞋。我一直在寻找一双绒的鞋，当我看到这双带有银色鞋头的时候，我无法抗拒！最近这双鞋成为了我最爱的驾驶鞋。
VAMFF墨尔本时装周真正结束了，我们都可以休息片刻,因为下个周末即将是悉尼的澳洲时装周！
我以前曾说够，我绝不会带婴儿飞行，因为他们总哭泣地很响,打扰其他乘客。但你猜怎么着？我刚订了机票班,准备带宝宝一起去！这将是我们第一次与他旅行。希望他再飞机上继续做个好宝宝,不打扰其他的乘客。如果你有与宝宝飞行的经验，请与我分享！ [/spoiler]
I love the sweet dress you have on, it looks so lovely on you :)
Funny thing, I learned compassion from having children too… I wanted to do the same thing for some parents struggling… babies cry sometimes and that is just a part of life. You really do seem to gain a second pair of ears when you become a mama… Have fun flying… I only flew with my daughter when she was almost two… so a little easier … she was good :) I hope it all goes well, have fun
Love that dress, it’s beautiful on you! :) Hope you have a great time in Sydney – and that Winston behaves on the plane! I don’t have any tips for you, but feel free to share your experiences and tips – I’m long overdue a visit to my bestie in Sydney but can’t fly at the moment, will have to make the trip later in the year with baby in tow! :)
thank you Mica! We hope so too :) xx
Lovely look! I love the shoes! x

Yes, babies help you understand the meaning of life and make you want to be a better person. That’s the way they will grow up to be good people.
I love your outfit and especially your right hand ring. Very unusual.
On my blog you asked me about my t-shirt. Well I bought it from a shop near work in Chania. Chania is the second largest town in Crete and Crete is the largest island of Greece. That’s were I live. Anyway, I was lucky to find it. It was the last one and I just Knew I had to have it. The thing that makes me feel good about it – except for the logo – is that it’s made in Greece. Haven’t you seen something like it in Melbourne?
thank you Christina, indeed! Babies are God’s gift to us, so we can learn treasure their lives as well as the lives of others xx
You are lovely !!! :)
