{5am ‘juh-tem’} – {je t’aime = ‘I Love You’ in French}: Bonjour! You’re welcome to join me on my personal treasure hunt into the world of designer apparel!Let’s kick off our designer fashion party with a cup of Vera Wang, a glass of Balenciaga, a jar of Jill Sander and some Chanel & D&G sweets later!

I’m an art & fashion Ph.D program student turned aspiring-shoe designer and then a happy newly wed settling down in one of the most beautiful Californian beach towns, Del Mar. Besides enjoying my oceanview daily life, I’m always searching for excitement in the form of inspirational fashion designs.

Last year I had been accepted to a prestigious fashion design school master’s program in Milano, Italy but instead ended up getting married. I wouldn’t say that I totally gave up my dream of becoming a designer, because I am now preparing for my designer fashion business!

A frequent traveler between California and Asia, I’m also in love with French chic, Italian charm, American spirit and Asian inspiration.
