lets get coffee

I spent a wonderful 4 weeks in Hong Kong, mostly working at the Sony office and planning Erin's wedding by night. But I am really happy that I got to see my old childhood friends, explore a few of the new restaurants and art spaces, eat a lot of good Chinese food and best of all catching up with my family. During our sister's speech at Erin's wedding, I said that the Yeh sister's have a very special relationship and I couldn't believe this more! I don't know any three other girls that get along, share similar passions and love each other as much as we do.. :)

Leaving HK is always tough, especially when my family makes it so much fun. Good thing I'll be back in a month for Christmas!

Hand-Drawn

It was a very late evening when I found one of James Gulliver Hancock's illustration sitting on Erin's desktop background. "Ooo! Who's the artist?" I asked, which then led us to 1 to 2 hours of online stalking. The Australian illustrator's obsession with drawing has brought him all around the world, working with companies including Coca-Cola, The New York Times, and Ford Motors.

All illustrations are drawn by hand, but some are scanned into the computer to be rearranged or color corrected. Some of the work are purely originals, from the colors, to the lines and fonts. Man! I wish I had this talent!

See more of his work on his website!

Behind the Photos

cyeh October 27, 2014

I used to be uncomfortable with posting fashion photos because it felt strange seeing myself online. It's kind of like when you listen to a recording of your voice and it sounds so different from what you expected! But thanks to your support, my photographers, makeup artists and the companies that have featured me, it has encouraged me to continue to be the mannequin that displays the clothes!

On that note! I'd like to share this fun shoot we did awhile ago.. :)

Hipster Baby

Maddie has developed a new obsession with anything glasses so I gave her my lens-less frames to play with - not sure why she loves them so much since both Ed and I wear contacts so she doesn't see us in glasses very often. In any case, I think she definitely looks better than me in those tortoise shell frames! Unfortunately the red sunglasses were swiftly broken by Avery about an hour after I took these photos!
