My Juniper Obsession @ Tignanello — The Tranquility Report

Hi everyone! Hope you’re enjoying the memorial day weekend! I haven’t blogged for a month because I was away in Europe travelling. And yes, I did work with a bunch of amazing local photographers, and have some amazing travel inspirations coming your way. But before that, I want to share with you this amazing set of photos that I took with the talented Nepal photographer Sworup(@sworupranjit) before I left for Europe.

大家好！台灣現在應該是端午連假，美國這幾天也是Memorial Day（陣亡將士紀念日）假期，希望各位都翹腳側躺無盡享受中。麗莎子前天才剛從歐洲回來，跑了義大利、巴黎、還有倫敦，之後再慢慢跟各位報告我的歐洲小旅行。但首先，我想要先跟各位分享我出發歐洲前拍的最後一組照片，由有才的尼泊爾攝影師Sworup (@sworupranjit)掌鏡。

Do you know Hilisays was born one year ago? One year ago, I decided that this is something that I am really passionate about doing, and then I gave it a try. Although I am never a full time blogger- I used to have full time job, and now I am a full time graduate student- but I do put a lot of thoughts and efforts into it, and now, I can finally see it blooming, because this would be my first official collaboration with brands!

五月十七號是Hilisays的誕生日，算一算也是滿一年了！雖然我從來就不是個全職部落客（我以前是朝九晚五上班族，現在是全職研究生），但我一直對經營部落格很有熱情，也花很多時間和心思在上面。最近終於開始有機會跟品牌合作，開心之餘，也想跟各位分享！

Today, I am introducing you to this cute Tignanello Vintage Leather Saddle Bag. Since 1989, Tignanello has been crafting fine hobos, satchels, and other leather accessories. This juniper bag seriously has been my everyday favorite, not just only because the green is SO CUTE that spices up my everyday outfit, but also because the it actually contains A LOT on the inside. We modern girl bosses have A LOT of things that we need to carry around every day: cell phone, iPad, mirrorless camera, mirror (lol), makeup pouch, hand cream, and all the other everyday essentials. The key to an easy outing? One functional bag (that’s also actually stylish and 100% leather) to manage your busy life for you!

今天要跟各位介紹的是Tignanello這個品牌。1989年創立開始，Tignanello便以兼具美觀及實用的皮製包款，在波西米亞及嬉皮風界打響了名號。這個湖水綠的小側背牛角包真的是我最近的心頭好，不僅僅是因為他綠的很可愛，讓我的單色系衣著增色不少; 它也強在它麻雀雖小，裡面卻可以裝超級多東西！我可以帶錢包、相機、雨傘、小筆記本、化妝小包在裡面，一包在手希望無窮啊！（到底在講什麼XD）像我們小個子的女子們其實很不適合提大包，一個小巧、又能裝很多東西的包包對我們來說真的是一大福音。

A small tip for styling colorful items, try to match all of your accessories in one color tone. Today I am matching this tilt bag with the embroidery on my veil skirt, my nail polish, and my vintage scarf. In fashion we say, “It’s all the little thing that makes all the differences!” Thank you for reading, see you next time!

順便分享一個亮色單品的小技巧。我這次為了搭配我的小綠包，我的指甲油、絲巾、和身上衣服的繡花都帶著一抹淺淺的湖水綠。如果擔心身上顏色太多太花，其實可以透過統一飾品的色調，讓整體的風格看起來更和諧。簡單分享，希望各位喜歡。我們下回見！
