The Year of the Snake


Since 10 February, according to the Chinese calendar, we are in the Year of the Snake. Apparently, those who are born in this year are charming, charismatic, and are good with money. The Year of the Snake is considered to be so lucky, that - I`ve heard – many couples plan their wedding or the birth of their child to fall within the next 12 months.  

I am currently reading a fascinating book entitled `What Chinese Want` by Tom Doctoroff; he is an expert on marketing in China and Chinese consumer culture,  and his theories on how China really works are a real eye-opener.  

I revere snake accessories; here I am in London`s Soho Hotel in a ChloĆ© dress, snake-pattern embossed on leather boots from Zara, and snake bangles from Africa, gold and semi-precious stone rings are from Missoma
