I teach a parent tot class, and one of my students brought red envelopes today for his classmates with chocolate coins inside 🥹 Someone else also accidentally also thought it was their week for the snack rotation, so we unintentionally had some abundance! I work in a really diverse school district, and it really warmed my heart to see 2-year-olds whose families are from China, Palestine, India, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and the US learn and celebrate together. Happy Lunar New Year! 🧧
恭喜發財 to you! That Simone Rocha red egg purse is incredible, the change in colour-texture makes the entire thing read differently from its original pearly iteration. And I really like the Bottega special edition bags, they did a good job of using the texture of their famous intrecciato to make things slightly snake-reminiscent but not literal.
and now I want some sugar butterfly pastries (which I think I know by a different name), they've been a favourite of mine since childhood
yeah the original Simone Rocha egg is like a 'this came from the bottom of the sea' egg, the red one reads almost like it's out an alien egg or out of Star Trek (but not in a cliched way).
feeling vindicated and less gaslit about the tower28 red bean mochi lippie!!!! i like the color and formula a lot but they cannot convince me that it tastes anything like red bean!!!!!
i very excitedly bought it after getting an ig ad for it bc i love the taste of red bean so much….i even tried putting a drop directly on my tongue to see if i could convince myself 😭
Happy new year! :) I have to admit I really loved that green Tory Burch bag with the snake handle... I think it's the satin finish and the color combo of black and pastel green!
Not a fan of these Wong Kar Wai rip-off campaign videos, it makes me feel weirdly "territorial"? Was nice to see Shu Qi in the BV video though, she's a goddess!!!

Happy Lunar New Year to you! The rat red packet in your last photo is amazing. I'm a Rat baby myself so I love looking out for rat memorabilia. I wish RL made their Polo Bears jumpers in knits instead of a cheap printed sweatshirt, like they used to. And I'm surprised how much I like the Bottega one, the designs look more thoughtful and are more likely to endure even after the LNY novelty wears off!
rat has got to be one of the cuter/funnier zodiac merch opportunities :)
re: RL, my friends have found amazing deals on the cotton intarsia knit polo bear sweaters - i wish they still made them vs. everyone on ebay charging $400!
that mahjong set is epic. i've always wanted to learn
hahah that IS the question. i thought year of the rabbit had some super cute miffy stuff i would wear year round but otherwise, when its TOO on the nose its like the equivalent of an "ugly christmas sweater"! gong hay fat choy <3
Loved this! I make videos reviewing the LNY collections on TikTok every year and truly so many are just red. Also, agree on the tower 28 lip balm. It’s nice but it’s not giving red bean

the egg purse is so gorgeous. i love it more in red!
me too, i loved breaking off the sugar flaky layers one by one, making a crumbly mess...

Oh absolutely! I really like their formulas but I was not getting red bean at all haha

we're the same because I kinda licked it off my lips...just to....see....
It genuinely tastes like vanilla cupcake I was so sad when I tasted it :(
YES. it has a sprinkles and cake taste

the satin finish is really pretty, and I do appreciate that they went with a more pale green vs. traditional "snake" green!

For me, the best LNY merch has to be McDonalds' mahjong sets...they released a My Melody one this year in Singapore and I was vaguely tempted: https://www.google.com/search?q=mcdonalds+mahjong&oq=mcdonalds+mahjong&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIMCAEQABgKGLEDGIAEMg8IAhAAGAoYgwEYsQMYgAQyDwgDEAAYChiDARixAxiABDINCAQQABiDARixAxiABDIQCAUQABiDARixAxiABBiKBTIHCAYQABiABDIPCAcQABgKGIMBGLEDGIAEMgkICBAAGAoYgAQyDAgJEAAYChjJAxiABNIBCDMyNjJqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I love this, thank you! I’m always curious who really buys all these LNY pieces especially if they’re too on the nose. How do you rewear them?!
Gong hei fatt choy!
