Quality of life The term quality of life references the general well-being of individuals and societies. The term is used in a wide range of contexts, including the fields of international development, healthcare, and politics. Quality of life should not be confused with the concept of standard of living, which is based primarily on income. Instead, standard indicators of the quality of life include not only wealth and employment, but also the built environment, physical and mental health, education, recreation and leisure time, and social belonging.

Most people are working in the office and tied up with their laptops and cellphones 24/7 everyday. Life is too diffcult and stress, people need a leisure getaway, a quality break time with their family, beloved, or themselves become essential. Colours inspired by the white sand beach, clear sea and sky, cruise and palm trees.

People always love and attracts to beautiful things. Every thing that is visualize may just be the inspiration of arts or fashion, so try to see things with different of perspective, try to think of the diversity of fashion. I like to keep it simple and clear, a little bit of gloomy and quirky feeling but catchy.

I want to make a high fashion magazine with lots of high fashion photographs like the Another Magazine, W Magazine, LOVE, and Dazed & confused magazine; also I want to contain something involved with man fashion that would appears in the GQ or Another Man Magazine.

It is Sunday,

La Fille Parfait

When I see in the mirror........

MEET POPPY 15

La Fille Parfait, means the perfect girl in French.

I’ve been picturing the perfect girl in my head, Ariel, is the person that comes out my mind.

I met her from another friend couple years before, she is probably the best role model of the perfect girl I known.

Ariel is tall, fit, with a exquisite face features.

She has a head of soft light brown hair, she smells like fresh roses.

Essentially, she has great taste of shoes, clothing, and bags.

She always know what it best suited for her.

Ariel is also smart, had a medical master degree in Seattle.

She speaks perfect English, mandarin and even little bit of French.

In the mean time, her hobbies are oil painting, play piano and sing her own songs, hiking, baking cupcakes, sometimes modeling and has been acting a bit as well.

The most important part is that she’s not just beautiful on the outside, she has a such good heart and had been volunteers for helping the orphans.

Arial is the type of girl can truly impress everyone.

The Confession of a Manikin

It is now 8:58 pm, in another half hours I can finally get rid of this annoying rainbow-ish colour scarf from my neck. Although it is silk, but I can feel nothing and only see the reflection from the window, which I look ridiculous.

The window display designers has been ignore the little details recently, I do not blame them, they are probably too busy because of Christmas is coming in less then three weeks.

I am a manikin, just an ordinary manikin, you probably gave me a glance before, but you would not remember it. In fact, there are hundreds of my twin siblings standing right beside me and look exactly the same since we all made from the same manufacture factory. Even ourselves can hardly recognize who’s who; it does sound quite pathetic, doesn’t it? The only way to tell the difference between us is the printed number on our shoulder backs, and I am number 202.

Usually I do not complain this much, in fact I shall feel fortunate and proud.

I am standing at the window display of the most well known department store in the world- ‘’the Selfridges’’ which based on the busiest street in London. Although I am still a rookie, and everyday I have to stand arrayed and maintain the same posture exactly ten hours or more. Yet I am still making my best out of it. Not that I am bragging, I did attracted lots of attentions for the Selfridges. For instance, today a couple of teen girls gazed at me through the window glass with a praise facial expression while carrying the shopping bags from Top shop and Zara, I guess they could not afford what’s on me. Later, a group of Chinese tourist who were presumably came for the big sales, pointed at me aggressively and rushed into the store. Also, a pair of noble wives within the Chanel and Hermes Birkins on their wrist looks just like they were Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha Jones stopped in front of me and nodded to each other then walked into Selfridges elegantly.

When I met their eyes, I can see how their pupils widened and I can even felt their excitement.

Now is only November, the streets of London has already been fill within a great sense of Christmas atmosphere, the Christmas lights and decorations from bond street to the oxford circus will light up at half past five every evening. Then the entire city will turn into this sparkling fantasy world in the giant snowflake crystal ball. It is not surprise the city is bustling during the weekend especially at this particular busiest area. Most of the time, I watch people coming and going ceaselessly, and then I wonder, what’s inside those big yellow paper bags within the outstanding black Selfridges. co logo mark that everyone has been carrying. Are those bags filled with gifts for the families? friends? or the beloved ones?

Publication I always look glamorous, the outfits and accessories on me are always the newest, the latest trends, the most expensive, most unique styles. I‘ve been carried countless designer bags, from YSL golden clutch, Louis Vuitton tote bags, Balenciaga, wearing the most expensive jewelry from Cartier and Tiffany. I am practically living in every girl’s dream. However I can not feel a bit of happiness, I can only looked out the window and observed this fastpaced world blankly, without a soul. My inner is empty, as I do not have a heart, noise outside the window contrasting with my quiet world. I wonder how it felt like to love and beloved. I wonder how fresh when the cold air breezing through my cheeks, frozen my ears and nose. I wonder what is the smell of the Dior perfume that sales lady sprays over my body every morning. I wonder what’s like wearing the Christian Louboutin heels and walk on the bond street. These are the things I will never know.

I have got a lot of things and yet I have nothing.

At the end of the day, one fine looking man wearing a black Armani coat came up to me, he breathe a gas into his fists while staring at the Cartier necklace around my neck. Out of sudden, he seems like just made some kind of decision, stepped into the door next to my window. Ten minutes past, one sales lady took off the Cartier of my neck. She wrapped it up into a refinement red box and tie it with a ribbon with a bow on the top. He took the petit box, looked and smiles at me one last time, then turned around, left with a most happiness and satisfaction face. I think he meant to thank me, I felt warm and happy for him, I guess, this is what I meant to do, I gave people a preview of hope. When I think of this way, it gave me some sort of meaning of my existence. Although I am just an manikin that made of plastic, still I found my value and this makes me unique from the other manikins. After all,

it is not who you are underneath, it is what you do
