Our Picks to Celebrate Lunar New Year!
On February 5th, marks the Year of the Pig of the lunar calendar. To celebrate the start of the lunar calendar, many East Asian countries have celebrations with each their own cultural traditions. For many Chinese, that means having lots of red for good health and gold for good fortune. In celebration, we’ve chosen our favorite Lunar New Year finds at The Bellevue Collection. While we can’t guarantee they will give you health and fortune, they will surely make you feel festive.
1. Burberry Cashmere Trench Coat
While visiting relatives during this holiday season, why not stay warm and look chic wearing this beautiful red cashmere coat from Burberry. You will find a little peek of their signature check design under the collar that gives it a nice contrast when popped up.
Find this at Burberry in Bellevue Square for $2,690.
2. Sephora Givenchy Limited Edition Prisme Libre & Le Rouge
Leave it to Givenchy to come up with beautiful packaging to celebrate Lunar New Year and for two of their popular items. The Le Rouge lipstick is an easy and pretty way to incorporate red into your look and the plum blossoms on the case will pretty up any makeup bag. There is also the popular Prisme Libre translucent color correcting setting powder that has already sold at Sephora once, but they have since re-stocked. The Mousseline Pastel setting powder shade is one of their best-sellers (clearly), so why not get yours with their vibrant red limited edition cap.
