Eye Candy : Yao Chen for L'Officiel



Actress Yao Chen looks lovely and ethereal in this shoot for L'Officiel China. The cute kitty in the last image is her own pet. The only thing I've ever watched her in is the 2010 film Color Me Love which I honestly can't remember if I liked or not but I do recall it had abit of a The Devil Wears Prada vibe and she got to wear alot of stylishly fabulous outfits and did so beautifully. I did read that her next project is Chen Kaige's star studded Searching which is based on the popular online novel Please Forgive Me and her reporter character has over 40 costume changes over the eight day span in which the narrative unfolds.

My condition is holding steady with some slight improvement since my last post. I'm still taking it fairly easy which means limited computer time. I'm sorry if I haven't been by to say hello yet but I'm trying to slowly make my way around to everyone who's been kind of enough to visit and drop a note. A much delayed spring cleaning has kept me busy this week. The purge is on! And we're trying to figure out if it makes sense to refinance our mortgage to take advantage of the current low interest rates. Financial matters and math make me dizzy. I hope to be back to blogging and commenting more regularly next week if I feel up to it. I have so much eye candy saved up. Enjoy your weekend!

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Haven't heard of this actress before but I'm not very fashionable and up-to-date with film actresses and so forth;-)

She's absolutely beautiful. A perfect face. These photos are great.
Love these outfits too.
I'm very glad your feeling a bit better.

She is very pretty and kind of makes me want to try blue hair {for just a few hours}. I'm so glad you are feeling better and that you are able to function better!! You must be relieved.

Thank you for the shoe suggestions! The Corso Como shoes on their site didn't look cushioned enough but I might try to find them at a store in case the images are misleading. I might try Cole Haan again but I have a pair of really cute and expensive CH shoes that make my feet bleed and have scarred them so I haven't tried to buy another pair since. I might see if I can find a more flexible or comfortable pair. I'm just a bit scared for my feet :) It would be really nice not to have to carry a pair of shoes to work every day though.

Gorgeous and so dreamy editorials.

Glad to hear you feel better. I can imagine how one's lifestyle get interrupted by such annoying symptoms. I wish they find a cure sooner or later. My husband has good and bad nights with his ears, but i dont think his symptom is severe comparing to others. Refinancing is no fun, we did it in 2010 but now wish we could have waited :(
