I HEART NEW YORK

OUTFIT: I HEART NY TEE/VINTAGE SHORTS/STEVE MADDEN SNEAKERS/ VINTAGE SUNNIES

White on white is something so in if you finish your outfit with a statement pair of sneakers, which was what I did the other afternoon :) I got this top from JFK, New York is not my favourite US city honestly, I'm more a west coast girl haha, but this tee is indeed one of my favourite.I'm not really a big fan of summer tees,they are either boring or makes you look bigger than you actually are. However I guess I only bought this one because of the words on the tee, but it ends up becoming my favourite.

YELLOW BELT

OUTFIT: ESPRIT TOP/ZARA SKIRT/VINTAGE BELT & SANDALS/MICHAEL KORS WATCH/ COACH SUNNIES

Belt is definitely one of my must-haves in my wardrobe because it is not quite expensive but very versatile. I have many belts of different colors, some of them are bit expensive than the other, but mostly I wouldn't pay very much for belts,however it does not stop me from loving them. Usually for summer time you can pair your jeans with wider belts to emphasize your waist line, or just wrap around your skater dress to achieve a vintage look, the lighter the color, the younger you look, while the darker ones could be perfect for winter time. Belts with bold accessories have not appealed to me at all, I think it kinda steal the attention which could have been saved for your top or dress.

GREEN

OUTFIT:FOREVER 21 DRESS/NINE WEST SANDALS/VINTAGE NECKLACE

Green has never been my favourite color, but once in a while I'd try something I rarely wear, like this green dress I got in the forever 21 shop of union square in New York, I liked its peplum at first but then I think it is bit bulky around the waist, so I waited and waited until I bought my nine west sandals last week then I marry them immediately, I think the dark color kinda match each other, do you agree?

STATEMENT TOP

OUTFIT: KATE SPADE TOP/EP TROUSERS/NINE WEST SANDALS/LOUIS VUITTON BAG/RAY-BAN AVIATOR SUNNIES/MICHAEL KORS WATCH

Statement top is what I think every girl should have in their wardrobe. It can make your whole outfit shine, and help you pull off any style you want, either professional business attire when a pencil skirt is added, or a casual look when a pair of white shorts is included, or a chic effortless style when you wear it with skinny jeans, the list continues. Though statement top does not have to be expensive, but usually they are. But it's worthy of every penny you spent. I found this KATE SPADE CAROLINA TOP while I was shopping in four seasons Macau, its bold color caught my eyes immediately, and bold color is definitely a key for a statement top, I was trying out their lovely floral print Tatiana top too and happily found myself fit into size 4, but still I bought carolina top in the end, probably deeply in my mind the asymmetrical checkered print looks more artsy than the other one, and artsy is a very important element in my sense of beauty. So girls do you like this outfit?

OLD SHANGHAI STYLE

OUTFIT: CK DRESS/ASOS HEELS/VINTAGE HAT AND GLOVES

Old Shanghai style has been something I always wanted to try, but never found the right outfit or mood to do so. Then the other day I was again sorting out my wardrobe and found these pieces could very much be put into one outfit and create the Old Shanghai style. I'd say you will see very few Chinese girls nowadays dress this way, what they love or love to follow are Korean and Japanese style( meaning petite and cute and lace etc.) or US or Europe style( meaning black, white and grey etc.), which could be boring if you repeatedly wear like that. So I want to try something else, this cute beige hat brings out the antique Shanghai party time feel when what everyone did was just dancing and partying and enjoying themselves, as has been shown in some popular Chinese series, pretty much like the 1920s of Parisian artistic community( yup I'm a big fan of Midnight in Paris and Woody Allen the Genius), also the gloves, which was a gift from my mum, helps to deliver the vintage vibe. Truth be told, this could look like Betty Draper of Mad Men if I add a cat eye white sunnies from the 60s, but I haven't got any white sunnies, so here I am. Do you like this outfit?

ENJOY COCA COLA

 OUTFIT: VINTAGE TOP AND SHORTS/STEVE MADDEN SNEAKERS

Much as I enjoy coca cola only when it's in a relationship with long island, I don't drink coke as much as my male peers do(now beer), but this crop tee with the chic black and white "enjoy coca cola" slogan on it was so great for a summer night outing with your friends in SOHO of HK, Village of Beijing or Hengshan road of Shanghai, also it's quite good for any pop concert or music festival like coachella etc. And I wore a pair of steve madden sneakers to make it even more sporty, thought it does not really feel like sneakers cause it has the high wedges inside the shoes. So Enjoy your coca cola, enjoy your day!

THE GIRL WITH AN ICECREAM

OUTFIT: VINTAGE CARDIGAN AND TOP/ZARA SKIRT/EP HEELS

This cute summer tee with the print of a girl eating ice-cream has reminded me of how much I love cute mickey mouse and minnie tees when I was a teenager, and snoopy, winnie the pooh,you name it. But then it can be difficult to wear in a professional workshpere, where everyone is conservatively in their business attire.So to solve this tiny problem,I add a light-colored cardigan to ward off the strong aircon in the office and the equally strong sunlight outside, then a similar color palette but darker blue pencil skirt which works wonderfully with the whole combination. Also these earrings kinda light the outfit by saying summer is officially on!
