瞧，那一頭橘光閃爍的地方，就是趴踢的目的地了...
參與2005 Hermès 為台灣賓客舉辦的主題派對，是一次非常難得的工作經驗。對我而言，不僅我和法國之間的情感更加深刻，也繼續在台灣延伸。為了呼應今年「河流」的主題，Hermès 特別將趴踢地點選在淡水河畔漁人碼頭旁的餐廳，特別的是，法國總公司將1F 的戶外草坪廣場設計成一個小型的法國市集，這樣一個個原汁原味的橘色小帳棚將餐廳外觀點綴成一整片的橘，在我腦海中，也不斷湧現去年在法國唸書時，耶誕前夕到處去耶誕市集玩耍的畫面。
如同台北迪化街的年市場一樣，歐洲每到耶誕節前夕，大大小小的城市一定會發現耶誕市集「Marché Noël」的蹤跡。到耶誕市集，一定不能錯過喝「vin chaud」熱酒。剛聽到喝熱酒，我也是嚇了一跳，畢竟不是日本的清酒，說穿了，就是把紅酒加熱。不過在冷颼颼的寒冬裡，能夠喝到「vin chaud」，著實是一件幸福的事！熱酒當然也有分好喝和不好喝的，印象中最好喝的熱酒，是在Strasburg品嚐到的，便宜又大杯，紅酒中像是加了柳橙片般，有一種特殊的風味在嘴中縈繞。
在耶誕市集中，除了可以看到相較於台灣再普通不過的可麗餅、鬆餅，當然瓶瓶罐罐的果醬、各式的糖果和手工品也不可少；最令我目不暇給的就屬各種特殊造型的的燈飾，還有妝點在耶誕樹上一個個小巧玲瓏、晶瑩剔透的小吊飾。本來一時興起，無論如何想要帶一個大星星造型的燈飾回台灣，但深怕拖著一個已經有點吃力的行李之餘，要是把星星燈飾撞壞了一個角，依我的個性，心裡一定會更難過，最後還是作罷。
愛馬仕在漁人碼頭旁精心設計的法國市集裡，有著滿滿的新鮮花束、水果、醃漬品、起司、火腿和美酒，每個賓客和記者手拎著一個大藤籃和一包用來兌換東西的小石頭，在手風琴手的伴奏聲中，忙碌地穿梭在每一個橘色小帳棚裡東看看西看看，好不熱鬧！二樓的晚宴會場，雖然一大片淨白的桌椅設置，看似有點單調，不過燈光卻在會場中營造出藍白相間，水波和漣漪如「江河匯流」般的效果，加上現場悠揚的爵士樂聲，既顯大器卻又不失優雅閑致。
在趴踢的活動過程中，我充分發揮了大學時代在Starbucks當PT 的本領，每一刻、每一秒，都要讓顧客留下最美好的回憶。終場歡送賓客的時候，我愉快地向他們說Bye Bye，期望明年再見，當他們欣喜地和我點頭道謝，整個人心裡簡直是一百個開心！
雙淇淋機轉動的引擎聲還在轟轟作響，從 2F 眺望情人橋，俯瞰 1F 橘色閃爍的小帳棚，忙了一天，還沒好好欣賞淡水的景致呢。收拾好晚宴桌上排放的小蠟燭，心疼的是宴會桌上魚缸裡的小魚兒，真是辛苦他們了，早上千里迢迢從台北坐車到淡水，現在又要從淡水坐車回台北，應該早就暈成一團了吧？！
愛馬仕的法國大頭要離去時，我腦海中只擠出了一句「Merci !」謝謝他的光臨，沒想到他驚訝了一下，回過頭和我微笑，我心想，今天在場的每一位，回家作夢時，嘴角一定都會上揚45°角吧！
當天晚上，我作了一個滿滿是橘色的夢...
挫折、沮喪時，我常常回想在踏入職場前自己曾經揮灑的職涯藍圖，和學生時那股莫名的傻勁，好提醒自己千萬別忘記曾經為所欲為不顧一切往前衝的任性...
正華曾經在採訪中被問到「妳覺得成功好玩嗎？」
她的回答是：「這句話應該倒過來說」「我的人生如果覺得好玩，那才是成功的。」
「認識」孫正華至少有七年了。
高中生的時候，就是個「流行追蹤迷」，到現在Trend Spotting 的短拍音樂前奏尚未改變，倒是主持人一個接著一個，從最早的彩妝師 Roger 、凱渥名模 BIGI（前陣子為三星策劃的 D508 Party，請來BIGI擔任行動劇的秀導，欣賞她一貫簡潔、明快、俐落作風）、知性名模作家孫正華，到近期因節目主持人替換，節目型態大變，我也順利成章地變成了「Fashion Delux 迷」！加上我在法國期間，什麼旅遊書都沒帶，硬是要帶著Flora的流行地圖走訪巴黎角落、和漫步比利時的安特衛普...
喜歡孫正華、欣賞孫正華，至近幾年下來經歷了「名模瘋」仍舊沒變。Flora 從青澀的主持到現在不論是主持節目陳穩的談吐、自然的對白，和經時光積累，不容替代的時尚態度及敏銳感，更顯現她褪下名模色彩，多角化將觸角深入電視、廣播節目的主持、擔任時尚雜誌的編輯和創作，愛惜自己的羽毛選擇性的接秀，更襯出她一貫的低調優雅。
第一次「預見」孫正華，是數位時代在紐約‧紐約舉辦的一場時尚美學講座，雖然我一直不願意承認自己有偶像崇拜，但我還是請Flora幫我簽個名，望著她套著長大衣、內搭灰長襪的身影，欣喜了好半天；第二次「遇見」孫正華，是在幾週前，我帶著在法國參加派對後，失焦的「Shake-Shake camera」到光華商場修理時，綁著馬尾，白T恤加上牛仔短裙，再愜意不過的裝扮，在選購攝影用品。我記得，喜歡拍照的Flora準備要開個攝影個展。不久後，在節目中播放香港 Chanel F/W大秀的報導，攝影師拍到 Flora 在搭載賓客前往目的地的 Chanel 磁浮列車中，使用小V8 / Digital Camera 拍照，我心想，該不會就是那天買的新品吧？！
看著在螢光幕前的Flora、聽著在廣播中的Flora、讀著在字裡行間的Flora，我告訴自己，一定要努力讓生活過的那樣精彩！
「如果每一天都快樂，我的人生就很快樂啦！」這也是Flora對成功人生下的定義。
I have never imagined that I could have the precious opportunity for working with the international master so soon ...
Everyone has been preparing hard for the launch event of Kiehl's Stylist Series in Taiwan since June. Besides the product launch, I convince the message of single mother's charity event is the most important part to deliver Kiehl's true & natural spirit of brand. Although everybody is busy working and in charge of different part of this project, I told myself secretly that I am the lucky girl who can work so closely with Kiehl's special guest, James from London.
Kiehl's invited Irish hairstylist James Mooney to come to Taiwan for one week. Here is our schedule : Monday - Single Mother's Cahrity Event, Tuesday - AM: Press conference for Asian media / PM: Media shooting at VOGUE's studio, Wednesday - Press Conference for KIEHL'S Stylist Series, Thursday - AM: Media shooting of China Times Weekly / PM: VIP Session for celebrity and Friday - VIP Session for celebrity.
As a PR executive for this project, I got the chance to work with James during this week , and precisely, more understand the brand spirit of Kiehl's. The happiest thing for me is that this kind of international working experience makes me feel like my life in France about 1 year ago. I really miss my friends in France, in Belgium, in Germany, Scotland, Norway, and Sweden...
Although I used international master at beginnig to describe James, actually he is kindly and considerate to everyone just like a friend. He is the hairstylist for celebrity such as Julia Roberts, but everyone feels comfortable and relaxed to work with James. James always concentrates on his work for single mothers, models and take it seriously from first minute until last minute. He also sincerely chats with you during work time and break time as well. Once you appreciate the process how James makes a hair style, you must be deeply touched. Not only because his serious and careful attitude, but also the hair styles he wanna to express: Everyone has his/her own style, own characteristic and charisma, that's why James wants to make individual hair style look natural. This is also the brand spirit of KIEHL'S. I'm touched because James creates the hairstyle not only by using Stylist Series but also using the spirit of KIEHL'S. I convince James is the best endorser for Kiehl's! He has been using KIEHL'S products over 15 years and always expresses the hair style in Kiehl's way.
It's also amazing that James gets married with a beautiful wife from Asia. Maybe this is also one of the reasons to explain James wears Asian style accessory at hand. James' schedules in Taiwan is full enough or how i wish i could introduce our culture to him and take him look around in Formosa, the beautiful island!
Everyone has dream. My dream hasn't been come true yet. However I still strive to make my work spectacularly! I have been working for just 4 months in a PR consultant Agency. I dream to work in Europe, to devote myself into the career in an international Fashion/Beauty company. Although I am working in a PR consultant agency now, I cherish every client and every project I involved in, this kind of experiences like Kiehl's will make me feel close to my dream and keep reminding me to remember my dreams and fulfill my everyday life to make my dreams come true - I look forward to coming back to France, with my favorite career, with my favorite life ...
