Mimi Ledo Creator of BoAime

Mimi Ledo, the brains behind Bohemian luxury label BoAime is one of my favourites. Here's my portrait and text on what she loves and what inspires her. Look for it in the October issue of Travel+Leisure SEA!

Bangkok Street Style in Tiger Tales Asia

I roamed around Siam Square in Bangkok where one is always guaranteed to spot some of the most stylish in the city. In fact, the first posts of this blog featured some then teenagers who readily showed their style. Get a closer look here: Tiger Tales Asia. Also in the same issue is my feature on Taipei's rock scene including American singer Christine Welch, a Fulbright scholar of Chinese who writes and sings in her adopted language, The Chairman, Taiwan's biggest and longest running band, Tank the aboriginal singer who's stealing girls' hearts with his ballads and Trash, the up-and-coming alternative band.

Bohemian Lux Label BoAime

I'm hooked on Bohemian lux label BoAime. If you like bamboo, silk and cashmere, take a look at the autumn/winter cashmere cardigans that drape beautifully on the FB page here or on their website here for the spring/summer 2013 collection that's mostly silk. Mimi Ledo, the founder and creative director of the label also gives a percentage of her profits to UNICEF each year.

Stylish Sixties

My stylish mother who is always willing to let me experiment. Here she's wearing a linen top by Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, linen trousers and shawl by H&M, bag by Coach, and shoes with vintage finish at the tip by Vera Wang. The necklace is mine :-)
