The last snow season, I received a set of merino wool blend base layer from Snow Path (山雪道).
They invited me to try their new merino wool blend base layer for snow season 24-25, which they designed the base layer with few color choices. I love the green design that embraced a symbol of reborn and growth. The 15um merino wool technology they applied on the base layer upgrades the heat preservation function, as well as offers a higher breathability for sports like ski/snowboarding.
There are few factors we should take into consideration while picking the perfect base layer for snowboarding:
- Heat preservation. Although the middle layer plays the main character role of preserving your body heat, all three layers fundamentally should all have this function. When choose a base layer, choose fabric that has a high level of heat preservation/needling system that offers better system that reserves temperature.
- Breathability. Consider if it has one-way dry-fast function to prevent the wetness being transported from the outside to your skin, but wicking quickly from your skin to the outside. Indeed, isolate your body from the outside air, but makes your body easy to breath at the same time
- Fit. The base layer should JUST FIT your body curve or a little BIT TIGHT. Such preference leaves no room/space between our body and the base layer, therefore, less possibility that cool air would get in and preserves heat better.
The design of the base layer also matters, because all the ski resort maintains a super warm temperature in their guest house. Who would not like to look fashion and chic when we take the jacket off?

During the winter, I have a lot of beginners messaged me consulting what they should wear to go ski/snowboarding.
Here are some survival tips for beginners who would like to try a First Timer session. Nathan, my partner, as a ski instructor for 13 years has also been consulted by his student what kind of clothes they should wear to his first session. It motivates me to write a post to introduce the outfit I would recommend to all the riders/rider to-be. lol.
This outfit is a typical outfit I would wear for snowboarding. There are few reasons for choosing a bib pants as a beginner:
- Protective. As a beginner, be prepared to crash. Ski/snowboarding is a sport that you need to learn from crashing. Snow gets into gaps between the bottom of the jacket and the top of our snow pants. Even some jackets and pants are designed to have edges that prevent snow gets into the gaps, but bib pants are better choices to eliminate that gap.
- Storage. I find bib pants have more storage than ski/snowboard pants, which they are commonly designed to have pockets in front of your chest, on the side of your both knees. I bring some chocolate and energy bars with me, as well as my daily-pass. So, the more storage, the better for me
- Uni-sex. Some gear brands are now designing the bib pants to suit both male and female. I always size up when choosing ski/snowboarding clothes. I am 166cm and the size I choose mostly fit people 170-175cm. Nate is 178cm, and he fits some of my bib pants as well. Sometimes it is really fun to exchange outfit and see him wear bright colors
When the question comes to exactly how many layers you should wear, I suggest a "sandwich layering"method. Technically, wear an inner layer (quick-dry set), middle layer (heat preservation layer), and outer layer (windproof& water-resistant jackets). We can also talk how to examine if the lay is suitable for your activity and what are the brand that fits in your budget in the upcoming posts.
Hope this post helps to you who would like to give it a ride this snow season.xoxo

ALOHA! Yes!!! It’s Emily!!!
It has become a very overwhelming moment that after 4 years we meet again. I barely updated on WOE since 2021 after I relocated in China.
Where I have been?
What I have done?
How's my life?
There are so many questions and, really, I truly don’t know where to start.
To conclude the life of four years, I would say: I have been to more places. Mainly explored the outdoor life, did some road trips across the country, and also lived my winter life in ski towns to practice my ski/snowboarding skills, although I am definitely not the hardworking one.
In these four years, I purely just traveled to more places and met more people, as well as my partner, Nathan. This March, we moved back to the south-east side of China from Chongli Olympic snow town (a snow town which is 2 hours drive from Beijing), and started to do more outdoor activities in spring/summer season, such as hiking, camping and bushwalking etc.
The pace of my life seems low down a bit in May. In a random evening when Nathan and I had a tea time chat, he encouraged me to blog and share my life again on WOE. It is also him who encouraged me to run a REDNOTE account in China, which gained me a great presence in last winter season by sharing our ski life.
The first day of Dragon Boat Festival public holiday, we took a forest walk near our penthouse. I’d like to start the new version of this blog by sharing the outfit I wore. This might be valuable for who likes to do leisure/ relaxing walk in a rough surface such as forest trail/ bush tracks. The wooden shoe sole gives a very intense support, which prevent the four from hurting by rocks and leaves. If you like walking in a forest, make sure you wear long socks to avoid bite from mosquitos and insects.
I also have a list that might elevate your outdoor activities:
- sunscreen
- water, energy drink, chocolate
- mosquito screen/bracelet
- long socks
- band-aid
For the outfit, follow the rule of wearing comfortable fabric that provide a high level of breathability, and quick-dry. Choose shoe sole material that is waterproof and non-slip. A hard shoe sole material would also prevent you from being hurt by hard rocks on the track and tree twigs drop on the floor.
Hope you like the outfit fit and get more fresh air outdoor, today and everyday!!
We definitely need some brights during this pandemic period. No matter it is a cup of coffee with family, movie with friends or travels (but travel seems to be a luxury now). As a fashion enthusiast, my best option during this time is to stay at home for a fashion movie/documentary, or go for a local art exhibition.
Few days ago, I was invited by the founder and designer of JOTEO to his current exhibition in art gallery of Brisbane. However, I am still stuck overseas and not be able to go back to Australia due to the travel ban. Being a person who always take loss as opportunities, I'd like to do a virtual tour with all those who cannot go by themselves.
I've been following Joash for around one year now, but the name JOTEO itself has been known to me for even longer. Seeing JOTEO published the first picture on its instagram account, until the brand has progressed itself more mature as a brand without giving up the core spirit of its designer, it is a brand worth following and aspiring. Ready-to-wear cannot be used to exactly describe JOTEO, it is more like a couture brand to me.
The current exhibit combines two collections that Joash has done for JOTEO. The recidivism and the Ephemera.
The roots of recidivism collections originated from the French revolution. It uses the technique of smocking with simple cut, drape and high quality fabrics. This collection also gets inspiration from rococo. Rather than additive of couture elements, the smocking technique assists the whole piece to achieve the rococo-inspired detailing. If you are a fan of old houses of french designers, Joash's recidivism might reminds you of the Givenchy dress that Audrey Hepburn worn back in 1955 at 'Villa Rolli'. Although the inspiration and whole idea of design are totally different, but we could also see the spirit of good designers are never so different.
The Ephemera collection takes the femininity as the guarded femininity by adopting curved lines and folds. Taking my style as an example, I'll always go back to basic, and wear structured outfit. But masculinity is not what I pursue, that's why the guarded femininity is an extraordinary concept that is more acceptable to hundreds and thousands of modern ladies who are after structured silhouettes, protective lines, couture draping and tailoring.
The exhibition ends on 28th November 2020. Please do not hesitate to go and take the chance to visit the great work by these artists. Along with Joash's collection, there would be art works by other artists waiting to be discovered.

Hello my lovely readers! Haven't seen you guys for almost three weeks.
I travelled from Brisbane to China three weeks ago, and have been self-isolating for 14 days. I have shared all my quarantine diary on my IGTV if you would like to know more (click here).
I have found this outfit, which was shoot just before I left Brisbane. With my go-to pieces in the wardrobe, I am the best of MYSELF: Plain color tops, leather pants and my Chanel shoes. Ever I found myself have nothing to wear, a pair of good shoes would come and help. You need something that goes well with almost all outfits. Chanel made it.

I'd always strive for the summer tan, the healthy sandy look that glowing under the sun. So I always search for a good tanning product, which is easy to use and doesn't look like a fake ones.
It's a quite interesting story. I was born and raised in China, where the main stream loves the beauty of ivory skin colour. And I got this gene from my mum's side that no matter how we exposed to sun lights, we get back to pale next day.
Then I turned 16 and moved to Australia. The surfing culture here and the passion towards ocean are something that I cannot resist. A WOW moment for me, and I told myself it might be a good chance for me to get tanned? Well, the strongest thing is the gene itself I'd have to admit. Until I got to try the self tanning foam from Le tan (click here to shop). It is quite different than some of the other products on market, which looked much natural than what I had tried. And it lasts longer. With the glove Le tan have with its 10 day tan spray, you go with the soft touch and only need to evenly apply it with the glove. Although the gene is strong, but Le tan gives me a hand in achieving the tan look!
Hope you could achieve your dreaming tan skin for this summer and stay healthy everyone!
Love.xx

Summer outfit is always easy to me. I know for me, outfit is always about clothings fit who I am. I'd wear good T-shirts and jeans everyday if I could.
For a tradition I had when we lived back in China, mum and I would always organize and clean the house together in the morning on the last of each year, and then we would go out for flora shopping for the New Year's holiday in the afternoon, and of course, drink coffee together. Ever since I moved to Brisbane, we didn't have much time to do such family traditions together and I sort of don't want to celebrate it anymore. But this year, I decided to pick it up and did it with my best friend.
Spending my time in Bulimba is one of my favorite things to do for a lazy afternoon. I used to live really close to this suburb in Brisbane area before I moved. For a period of time, I came here every weekend for Brunch. It just have so many good cafes I'd try and re-visit. It is such a nice suburb which is too small, yet too big. Small enough for you to access anything you want in the town center, but big enough that I would like to always come back and explore. So if you would like to have nice coffee, to buy beautiful flora, or to get yourself a spa. You could make it in just the neighbourhoods here.
Enjoy the pictures.xx
