Photo Love: Asian Inspiration and Lunar New Year Celebration

January 23, 2012
Happy Lunar New Year to my friends that celebrate this holiday!
Taryn Davidson for Elle

It is year 4710 and the year of the dragon.  People who are born in this year are said to be enthusiastic, fun-loving, and excitable. They are known to be honest, courageous and trustworthy as well.  These are all certainly admirable qualities and I don’t mind a second “New Year”as a reason to get together with friends, celebrate, and begin anew.

I will be in NYC briefly as well as Singapore so I hope to see of the festivities around both locations.  Singapore is already decked out from the local supermarkets to the main shopping malls.  I even hear the distant drumbeat of lion dancers every now and then!  I know Chinatown in NYC will be festively decorated as well.
Are you witnessing any New Year preparations in your part of town?

Have a lovely week!
