Live Your Best Lives
As a native of Chengdu, the question I was asked the most was:
"Little demon, help me recommend where to have fun in Chengdu."
"Eleven brought the baby to Chengdu, where is it convenient for us to live?"
These questions are really difficult to answer, because in the heart of every old Chengdu there is a private map drawn with life, time, stories and memories. When it comes to humanistic feelings, iconic attractions, and check-in places for market food, a thousand people have a thousand different answers, but if it comes to one-stop fashionable check-in places, then one place that will definitely not be missing must be "Chengdu IFS".
"Just like when it comes to Paris, you may not know 40 Haussmann Avenue, but you will not know Galeries Lafayette. Chengdu IFS is also like this in Chengdu, especially for Chengdu people who don't like to remember road names, few people may know that the road downstairs of Chengdu IFS is called Hongxing Road Section 3, and we will say when we are dating: "See you tomorrow, Chengdu IFS!" "
Recently, some fans plan to go to Chengdu for a parent-child trip, and today I will be with my family's "maternal and fetal fashionistas" - Miss Du took you to Chengdu IFS, the "center of the universe" in Chengdu, for a day and gave you some good suggestions for the eleventh trip.
10:00am
Family Shopping
“A girl should be two things:
classy and fabulous."
- Coco Chanel
The3-year-old fashionable girl quietly went to my cloakroom to choose a white headband and put on lip balm on herself before leaving. Today I want to buy her new clothes for the season, and the excited Miss Du is waiting at the door of Chengdu IFS on time at ten o'clock in the morning. The children's clothing brands here range from first-line luxury brands Burberry Kids, Givenchy Kids, Bonpoint to JNBY, NIKE kids, PetitBateau, Mothercare, etc., including the first store in the Midwest and the first store in the Southwest, which is really the best choice for fashionable children.
Stella McCartney Kids
Theeponymous brand of British genius designer Stella McCartney, her designs are full of sweetness and romance, and have a British rock style. She brings her spontaneous and natural personality into the brand's children's clothing line, with imaginative designs and colorful colors, full of childlike fun. In the past, every time I went abroad or shopped online, I couldn't help but buy Stella McCartney Kids, but now its first store in the southwest has opened in Chengdu IFS, which is really convenient.
The design of Stella McCartney Kids is too suitable for Chaobao
Dudu to immerse himself in the fun of his own matching.
Moncler children's clothing store
Originating from the luxury brand Moncler in 1952, there is only one store in Chengdu IFS in the entire southwest region. Moncler is the world's leading international brand in the outdoor down jacket industry. Its down jacket is fashionable and warm, and Dudu only needs to wear a long-sleeved T-shirt in winter, so that children will not feel bulky and feel less restrained.
Is it too early to buy a down jacket just in autumn? Of course not, because Moncler's popular styles sell very quickly, and this is the first store in the southwest region, and many models are out of stock before winter.
11:00am
Baby Happy Hour
One of the regular programs for Miss Du to come here is to take the train first and then go to the children's park, these two projects suitable for young children are free, as long as you spend any amount of receipts in the mall, you can enter. Although it is free, these facilities are very clean, and the entrance is also equipped with hand sanitizer at the door, and there are staff to direct everyone to line up, so parents can take their children to play with confidence.
12:00am
and Panda Lunch
Chengdu IFS's "Wall-Climbing Giant Panda" has become famous, taking photos with tourists from all walks of life in the seven-story sculpture square every day. In fact, this giant panda art installation created by internationally renowned artist Lawrence Yazhenz has a name, called "I AM HERE" (Chinese: "I am here"), which is intended to break the barrier between serious commercial space and people, let us think about our own existence, and reflect on the prosperity and development of the city.
? PizzaMarzano
It is "PizzaExpress" founded in London, England in 1965, and named "Pizza Marzano" after coming to China, which can be said to be the Hermès of the pizza industry. Italian food is very popular in Europe and Australia, and I have tried many Internet celebrity restaurants, and there are not many that are really delicious. I have tried a lot of dishes in Mashanno, and it can be said that I have never stepped on thunder, and the taste is really very good.
The main pizza here is thin-bottomed pizza, with many ingredients and crispy skin, which is very suitable for children and slim ladies who don't like thick crusts. Every time Dudu comes to Chengdu IFS, he has to designate this place to eat and taste delicious food while watching the pandas.
It rained on the day we ate, and we couldn't eat outdoors
After the rain stopped, we took 100 pictures here.
13:00pm
parent-child reading space
Yanji is also a business card of Chengdu's urban culture, which integrates physical bookstores, coffee culture, cultural and creative products, and salon culture, which are available in many comprehensive shopping malls, and are also one of the bookstores I particularly like to go to. Although the second floor of Chengdu IFS is located in the most prosperous city center of Chengdu, it is a "spiritual habitat" in the material world, and the moment you step into its door, the hustle and noise outside the door is miraculously blocked.
There are many children's picture books to choose from, and Dudu can sometimes stay here for three hours. I have always focused on cultivating my child's reading habits and guiding her ability to think on her own. The simple educational method of "teaching people to fish is not as good as teaching them to fish" is often covered up by the parent-child filter as parents, and we unconsciously impose adult thinking and understanding of the world on our children. I often remind myself of this, so that she has free thoughts, and I hope that the normative behavior and habits will be achieved through words and deeds.
Seeing the picture books on the whole wall, the little girl was overjoyed. The next step is that my mother is on the regular program of Chengdu IFS, Dudu and Sister Wu continue to play and rest here, and I want to buy and buy Meimei.
14:00pm
hot mom time
La Maison VALMONT
Art gallery-like care space
Friends who have seen my empty bottle sharing video know that I have been using VALMONT products for several years. This century-old brand from Switzerland is dedicated to finding proven beauty methods to help people resist the signs of time. The first time I got to know the brand was my cousin who lives in Paris. Her skin can be described as blowing and breaking, and she introduced Farman to me: "I have studied the active ingredients of VALMONT, and only this 'biological weapon' is really effective against the old." A woman's heartbeat is sometimes a sentence and an instant.
Today I made an appointment for hand care at La Maison VALMONT, the first flagship store in Chengdu IFS, China. In addition to the VALMONT skincare series, the store also has L'Elixir Des Glaciers and Storie Veneziane perfume series.The display in the store is also very beautiful, in addition to the products and services of Farman, you can also admire the brand's founder, Didier Guillon, carefully selected works of art by contemporary artists in Switzerland or internationally supported by the VALMONT Group.
I used the happiness mask to protect my hands, which was super comfortable, and I felt that the skin on my hands was glowing after doing it. Next time I have enough time to come here for a facial spa, I heard that the professional "butterfly massage technique" is super comfortable. By the way, I recommend the VALMONT moisturizing and soothing skin products I have been using recently, and the skin feels really good when using dry and sensitive skin. However, it is recommended that you go to the counter for consultation before shopping, and the soothing and softening skin base repair spray is recommended to me by the counter shopping guide according to my skin type, which is very suitable for me.

Christian Louboutin said: "No matter what kind of woman she is, she will be sexy when she wears high heels. "Not to mention a pair of high heels with red soles. From Pa Yan. From LaBelle to Angelina Jolie, from Anguen to Mariah Carey, they are all fans of Christian Louboutin's high heels, and almost half of the shoes on the red carpet are contracted by him every year. Jennifer Lopez once wrote a song called "Louboutins", which tells the story of a woman who wears Louboutins and moves on after being hurt by love.
As the first Christian Louboutin in western China, the store is filled with a charming retro tone that transports you to Paris.
Rivets are also a design feature of Christian Louboutin,
elegant can also be very rock, people are more than one-sided
Lane Crawford
trend vane
Lane Crawford, as Asia's leading international designer boutique, integrates trends, art, architecture and other elements, it not only sells trendy products, but also knows how to "sell" fashionable lifestyles. I still remember the surprise of visiting Lane Crawford for the first time in Hong Kong's Times Square ten years ago, when the store could be decorated like a design museum. Later, every time I went to Hong Kong, I never forgot to go to Lane Crawford, and I learned about many niche designer brands through Lane Crawford. After the opening of Lane Carver, every time I go to IFS Chengdu, I will go around to see what new gains there are.
Left: Rosantica Right: Alexander Wang
The reason why Lane Crawford never gets tired of shopping is because there are new surprises every time. This time, the lifestyle area has been newly upgraded, adding a designer area and a multi-functional model room. WEWOOD high-end solid wood furniture, V-ZUG home appliances, ALCAROL resin tables and chairs, HÄSTENS bedding, FORNASETTI art zone, and TOM DIXON's first exhibition in the southwest, etc., including all kinds of lifestyle boutiques, the first and exclusive brands to create an "ideal home"! As a home lover, you can't walk in the FORNASETTI art area alone.
TOM DIXON concept installation pop-up store
Lane Crawford Platinum Lounge, the entire platinum lounge is very elegant and comfortable, and the private space can freely enjoy the fun of fitting. The Platinum Lounge will prepare some boutique styles for VIP customers to choose from, as well as exquisite coffee breaks for guests to taste. It's also shopping, and such an environment and service are so comfortable.
At this time, Miss Du had successfully joined me, and her series of behaviors in the platinum VIP room had revealed her genes as a blogger. First, I took a bite of the panda latte, then picked out my favorite Maison Michel's dark green ear hat, and finally took a selfie in front of the mirror.
16:00pm
tea time
COVA's dessert moment
< img src="https://dimg04.c-ctrip.com/images/0105612000851sexyC747_W_671_0_Q90.jpg?proc=autoorient" />
I heard that COVA, a long-established dessert shop in Italy, has opened its first store in Chengdu, which is the only high-end dessert shop under LVMH, originating from 1817, how can you not check in as a sweet foodie for the first time. The store is a European retro decoration style, and when you are tired of shopping, you can buy some dessert in the atrium of the mall to eat, and there is a feeling that you are not shopping in Chengdu, which may be fashionable Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Paris.
COVA's mango whipped cream cake is so delicious
18:00pm
Dinner time
Tomacado Flower Kitchen
The flower kitchen was swiped by the circle of friends as soon as it opened, and the immersive feeling was more beautiful than the photos in the circle of friends. This flower-themed restaurant has a pink and green color scheme as a whole, which is not contrary to the norm, not "rustic style" at all, with French arches, full of delicacy and luxury. As soon as I entered the door, I felt a cluster of flowers, a fairy aura on my face, and the girl's heart was instantly ignited.
Flower Kitchen is not an Internet celebrity restaurant with its appearance, we ordered a classic set meal for two, Flower Kitchen Rainbow Roll, Herb Roasted Three Yellow Chicken, The osmanthus curry pork cartilage is very delicious, the drink Blue Butterfly must be ordered, and the moment you add lemon juice to change color is so beautiful and healing.
Thai Thai food
I also recommend one of my favorite Thai restaurants, Thai, right next to the sculpture courtyard on the seventh floor. This restaurant has just opened, but as a lover of Thai cuisine, I have been here twice, and the taste has overwhelmed me. Fresh shrimp sashimi is a must-order dish, cut off the shrimp tails and take a bite, the mouth is full of sour and spicy and crispy is really enjoyable; Yellow curry fried crab milk has a strong aroma, the quality of the crab is also very good, and it is delicious with rice; The pearl spot in the open furnace is completely my specialty, the fish is tender, sour and spicy with a little sweetness, the taste buds are deeply satisfied, and its charcoal-grilled pork neck and Thai drinks are also worth trying.
20:00pm
Summer Gravity
Special Night
Before September 27, if you come to Chengdu IFS on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you must go up to the sculpture courtyard on the seventh floor. Every weekend, it will be transformed into a night high-altitude market at night, bringing together special stalls, cultural and creative markets, band performances, outdoor theaters and customized camping tents.
patting and buying at the market, it feels like traveling to Thailand again, but our Chengdu is now very fashionable and interesting, You don't have to go abroad to enjoy shopping and entertainment, vacation at your doorstep.
We also met a special employee in the square, the "Pineapple Family", who are 7 golden retrievers whose job is explosion-proof. Every day from 18:30 to 19:00, they take turns taking photos with visitors in the sculpture courtyard. "Pineapple" is synchronized with the "Green Dog" sculpture of Zhou Chunya behind him, which is so fun.
