HM DRESS

OUTFIT: HM DRESS/VINTAGE SCARF/STEVE MADDEN SANDALS

As much as I look happy with the scarf in these photos, I was actually feeling so hot under such weather. Last Sunday I went out to find new spots like a typical tourist, big backpack and DSLR, and it kinda feels great to be frank. Because no one will think you are strange or whatever, not that I care really. So I went up hills and just 5 minutes away from the Sai Van lake, these beautiful light green churches appear, I was kinda lost in the color and exotic shapes of them, indeed felt like a tourist, and the choir was singing, the tourist taking photos, the birds flying, guess it's a much better way to spend your Sunday like this than sleeping till late afternoon:)

HYDRANGEA

OUTFIT: ZARA TOP/VINTAGE SHORTS AND SUNNIES/NINE WEST SANDALS

Hydrangea is definitely one of my favourite photo shooting friends, don't misunderstand that I only use it for photo shooting haha, after all flowers make me feel so fresh and happy, as if all the joyfulness in life could be conveyed in a bunch of beautiful flowers. They make you forget all ugly things in life and remind you even if life could be hard at times, eventually it's going to bloom. Ok, so much for flowers, the small yet dense petals of hydrangea gives off a rather vibrant and vivid vibe that is great for your living room or newly-purchased glass vase, while carrying them taking all these photos, I was constantly asked by strangers if they are fake, but they are not.Like this new pink spot where the photos were taken, they are real and pink! Many friends of mine who came to Macau for the first time always asked me the same question: Why many buildings are clad with bold colors like pink and light green? According to wiki it's because the lovely buildings inherited the obvious Portuguese architecture influence, which is so feminine, and you will get to see in my future posts. And of course I will visit Portugal one day to see if wiki is true:)

FATIGUES PRINT

OUTFIT:VINTAGE DRESS/NINE WEST SANDALS

Fatigues could be in and out of fashion at times,wouldn't say I am too much of a big fan,but trying new styles has never fail to give me inspirations. Got this fatigues print dress from one of the boutique shops from Beijing about three years ago and was surprised the person who designs it was bold enough to add the one shoulder design to this relatively cool or masculine dress base, however, what stops other people from buying is what encourages some people to buy. So will you try something like this too?

THE GIRL WITH A BASKET OF FRAGRANCE

OUTFIT: ZARA TOP/VINTAGE JEANS/ASOS SANDALS/VINTAGE BAG

I'm indeed such a big fan of MAD MEN, so if you are familiar with this TV drama, you 'd feel so familiar with my topic today, last Sunday when I hit the street florist in Rotunda de Carlos da Maia(sanzhandeng) and bought a bunch of purple roses, "a basket of kiss" was the first thing that came to my mind, while differently, I rephrased the line a little into"a basket of fragrance", because instead of wearing the bellejolie lipstick, I was carrying a basket of purple roses,I got so many inspirations from MAD MEN,the costumes, the witty lines, the way they live and so on.

ROSE ON BROWN

OUTFIT:VINTAGE DRESS/EXULL Q SANDALS/HM CLUTCH

It has certainly been a while since I wore this dress. Still, got it in Stanley, one of my favourite places in HK, from a local boutique shop, the print and the shape was what made my buy it, though it was difficult for me to describe the pattern of the print, it's neither water blend nor abstract, floral would be a bit stretch, anyone who knows how it should be named feel free to tell me:) And since it's bit shorter than my other dresses, I'd marry it with my favourite sandals this summer just to make the leg part look longer, and  my rose earrings succeeded in bringing a more feminine vibe to the outfit.

TORY BURCH TOTE

OUTFIT:ZARA TOP/VINTAGE JEANS/STEVE MADDEN SANDALS/TORY BURCH TOTE/MANGO NECKLACE

For me, Tory Burch and Michaeal Kors are two similar brands and yet so different. They have similar price, and, both of which have shops in Macau, which is great for me. However I got this Tory Burch tote in HK and it was my very first piece from this brand. Since I have so many blue dresses, this tote is so convenient to go with a lot of my dresses. Mixed it with my Steve Madden sandals just to make the whole outfit more daily instead of a pointed-toed Loubie.

MY CHOO LOVE

OUTFIT:ZARA SHIRT AND SKIRT/JIMMY CHOO HEELS/DOONEY & BOURKE BRIEFCASE

HONESTLY I am not a shoe addict , I don't care the brands of shoes as long as I look good in them or just simply like them. I have shoes of big prices range. While wandering in IFC last week with my friend, I was kinda lost in the shoe paradise, so many lovely Charlotte Olympia and Schutz and Brian Atwood etc, trying to decide between Louboutin and Jimmy Choo for a more classic piece, turns out this become my Choo love :) No need to say more because you will see me wear them a lot in my future posts because they just go well with everything in my wardrobe, isn't it what true love is? makes you feel good about everything?

CASUAL MONDRIAN

OUTFIT: KATE SPADE TOP/VINTAGE JEANS/NINE WEST SANDALS/H&M CLUTCH

As art of fashion and  painting(impressionism) are two things I spent most of my free time appreciating, it's difficult not to find their characteristics in common and this kate spade top, obviously inspired by some of the works by Mondrian, its bold color and big checkers, bold pieces like this never fail to inspire and please me.In order to make my the whole outfit bit casual like,unlike how I pair it before， I chose the vintage jeans to go with it and a pair of sandals of the similar color to put a full stop of this whole outfit.

SUMMER BRALET

OUTFIT: H&M BRALETTE/VINTAGE JEANS/EXULL Q SANDALS

I've been longing to have a bralette since I started this blog, honestly I never tried this trend before, as my work atmosphere is too serious for that, I have to find occasions to wear it. But then the other day I checked topshop in HK, turns out they have so many choices for bralette, however no floral pattern that appeals to me. Later i check the HM just opposite to topshop on queensroad and found this one, it satisfies my every imagination for bralette, the color, the fitting and its price!:) I wanted to pair it with my white skirt first, but somehow this vintage blue kind goes well with it too.

PURPLE LACE

OUTFIT: KAREN MILLEN DRESS/NINE WEST HEELS/VINTAGE EARRINGS

Much as I love to take photos outdoors because the sunlight and the nature are such a great background, sometimes it could be fun switching scenes for your photos. I see this outfit as feminine, elegant yet work-friendly, so why not shoot the photos indoor? Though the light was not as strong as the natural sunlight, but then you get this more gentle feel and avoid the hot sun outside, and I love the purple lace top part in the background of the white curtain,it's not always about color blocking, and it's not always about black, white and grey.It's about balance and a little bit of both.:)

ONE SHOULDER BLUE

OUTFIT DRESS: DRESS/ASOS HEELS

I got this elegant one shoulder from Kuala Lumpur's SURIA KLCC last year, I had many similar dresses like this, but what caught my attention was its color(big fan of blue when it comes to dresses) and unique one shoulder design, which adds a bit chic vibe to the whole formal feeling, and just plus a light cardigan or blazer you are ready to work. For me fashion should be attainable and practical, as one of my friends put: the prettiest looking shoes might be the most difficult to wear, it's true, but I try to balance all the time, it has to be formal and elegant enough to wear to work, but also casual and chic enough to kill the time outside of work. One secret is that a pair of great shoes will do the trick for us just fine.

VINTAGE SUIT

 OUTFIT: VINTAGE SUIT/NINE WEST SANDALS

Hey girls! I don't know if any of you like to wear your mum's or sister's clothes, I do. And while I was back home this May, I found this vintage treasure in my mum's wardrobe, I was so in love with its fabric and shape. Though it's bit short for me, because my mum is around 5"5, but besides that everything fits me so well, like a tailored suit. So I begged my mum and she gave me this vintage suit. It was bought by her about 10 or 12 years ago, but my lovely mum has kept it with care and it still looks so new:) I'm not as careful as her with clothes, but hopefully my future child could fit into this too haha:)

BRIGHT PINK

 OUTFIT:LK BENNETT DRESS/VINTAGE CARDIGAN/TORY BURCH SANDALS

Happy Tuesday everyone! I've had such a hectic time last week, I actually had to cut off my nap time to shoot all the photos because I have been assigned a lot of tasks at work and time has been quite limited. But managing all the tasks and get them done feels great! I had quite a lovely time this weekend though, met some really interesting friends, had the best Crepe in hk, bought a pair of classic Jimmy Choo:)And this bright pink color is exactly how I feel right now, motivated, happy and romantic,I was so amazed at the quantities and qualities of all these UK brands, REISS, LK BENNETT, ASOS, TED BAKER, THREE FLOOR, and some of my favourite pieces are all British brands, this bright pink dress for example, I actually went to times Warner center just to find their shop because they only sell shoes in HK Lane Crawford  And I picked a white cardigan to echo with my nail color, So do you like it?

CHECKERED TOP

OUTFIT: TAILORED TOP/VINTAGE JEANS/STEVE MADDEN SNEAKERS

Morning guys, hope you have a good weekend!If you follow my blog from the beginning, you'd realize the cloth and color of the top I am wearing in this post is so similar to the checkered print skirt in my first blog entry, and yes, you guessed right! The tank top was made from the rest of the cloth from the checkered skirt.The top, same as the skirt, is so light and versatile,you can pair it with jeans of all colors, your favourite white shorts or mini skirts, the list continues. And compared to other designer or brand tank tops, this one is so unique and the price is so fair, like you wouldn't believe! I guess it's the pleasure of being creative and making your own outfit! But of course I'm not great at sewing and all that stuff, so only serving as the creative director of this outfit,I outsource the sewing to my tailor, as usual:)

TUBE

OUTFIT: VINTAGE TUBE DRESS/NINE WEST HEELS

Tube dress is another must-have for summer. I found this in an antique shop in Beijing two years ago, usually for casual Friday I'd wear it with a blazer for work, then after happily finishing work I can easily go out partying or have a drink with my friends without the fuss of having to rush back to change my outfit.And the fabric of this dress is relatively light compared to other tube dresses I have. And the earrings I am wearing is actually combined with two similar ones, so that it looks longer and prettier:)

BALLERINA EARRINGS

OUTFIT: VINTAGE TOP AND SHORTS/STEVE MADDEN FLAT SANDALS/VINTAGE EARRINGS

Ballet, a beauty in its own form, expresses what cannot be put into words, a sophisticated form of art which requires a tranquil and peaceful heart to appreciate. So when I found this lovely lovely ballerina earrings, it reminds me of the beautiful ballet I was so lucky to enjoy in Beijing's NCPA and I was so drawn to its shape and pink color, and moreover it reminds me of my almost very first present from an old friend: a music box inside which the delicate ballerina dance to the classic FUR ELISE. It is not only an elegant fashion piece but also  a childhood reminder. I pair my earrings with this rose color off shoulder top, yes, I'm such a big fan of everything off shoulder:p, and I think they are from the same color family and complement each other.

STATEMENT DRESS

 OUTFIT: EP DRESS/SALVATORE FERRAGAMO SHOES/COACH SUNNIES/VINTAGE CLUTCH

Statement dress is something I'm never tired of. I bought this lovely nude lace dress right before my birthday this year. I think it's quite suitable for girls at my age, when we can enjoy the combination of being elegant and adorable at the same time with a small dose of sexiness. Not to mention the classic Salvatore mid heels, another my all time favorite piece, its height suits me so well and the color goes so harmoniously with my dress.

LIGHT SUMMER

OUTFIT: VINTAGE TOP AND DENIM SKIRT/STEVE MADDEN SANDALS/VINES JEWELS

Light color plus denim everything are quite good for summer, when you go out the light color makes you feel less hot,and the denim jeans or skirt help to balance the whole palette. They always makes the chic and cute combo.But this denim skirt has been a bit short for me. Usually the shorter the skirts are, the taller you look, that day I picked a quite high pair of sandals And It's so flattering yet comfy, you don't even feel the 4 inches wedge, and I can even dance in them:) 

BLACK

OUTFIT: VINTAGE TOP AND SKIRT/NINE WEST SANDALS

Black is not my favourite color but strangely enough my most-wearable pieces are all black, my black off-shoulder top, my black blazer and my black heels. They'are just so versatile and help flatter any outfit you choose for any occasions  May it be the third date with the guy you met in the museum, or your night out with friends, or business meeting at work. If you followed my blog, I wore this checkered skirt in my very first post and I think it could go very well with a black off shoulder top,too.
