Today I'm Wearing

Orange Jacket--- Bread n Butter ( a Hong Kong high street brand)
Black Vest Top--- H & M
Black Jeans--- J Brand
Distressed Charcoal Colour Men's Belt--- Gap
Sunglasses--- Tom Ford
Grey Bag--- Prada
Shoes--- Yves Saint Laurent

Splash of COLOUR! I think my friends have been impressed with my colours the past few months as most people are used to seeing me in darker colours.

Gold buttons- sooo me! I love this jacket, and it was such a good deal- what a bargain (shopping in Hong Kong is RIDICULOUS for those of you who haven't been!)

The heels dress up the outfit more but not overly because of the different colours and now I can go from day to night easily! The extra gold detail separating the blue from the black of the shoe is just divine!

Loving YSL shoes!

First off, someone commented on a previous post asking who takes my photos because they're nice....?!
I am kind of embarrassed to say that it's just me, my little low maintenance Canon Ixus stacked on top of my dresser and a couple of books...haha! That's why you'll see the lighting is a bit off in some of the photos- still trying to work out the brighter angles! And also why so far, I haven't managed a full body shot yet.

Have gone quite simple again today! Threw on grey jumper and then just whipped up my gilet! Very classic and easy to wear colours ...gold hardware from the bag, earrings and sunglasses tying the whole thing in... not a particularly exciting outfit...but hey! I did say this blog was going to be just my wardrobe...and this is me!

Tonight I'm Wearing

Colour Block Cotton Dress--- ASOS (regular, not petite today haha)
Grey Bag--- Prada
Black Suede Heels--- Christian Louboutin

A couple months ago, after a lot of beautiful feedback from friends on this dress (which they saw from my cousin's wedding album), I've made sure to post these photos.... =)

This colour blocking dress from ASOS I adore because it's not OTT. I also like the playful bit of maroon colour at the hem making it much more interesting, otherwise it could have just been red and black - which would have been nice too- but the maroon makes it more fun to wear! The matching black on the sleeves which sit PERFECTLY in line with the black at the waist was designed so well. I think this dress oozes character and can be easily dressed up or down.


Have a good evening, everyone!

Today I'm Wearing

First thing...IT IS SO WARM TODAY! WOW!

Mint Green Blouse--- Miss Selfridge
Black Jeggings--- ASOS Petite
Black Body--- Wolford
Sunglasses--- Tom Ford
Grey Bag--- Prada
Grey/Purple Loafers--- Tods
Gold Watch

 

Just a random side note to start! I forgot to mention that on Monday I was walking around Oxford Street with my sister while she was visiting in London and I had a photograph taken by COSMOPOLITAN magazine for a new concept cover they will be doing- a mosaic of many faces apparently...maybe I'll be a tiny part of one of their covers coming up! Will keep everyone posted !

This mint coloured blouse is the same style as the salmon/pink one I wore from a previous post! You see how long it is here? I would usually never EVER brave this untucked and in this way unless I was wearing either skinny jeans or leggings. I would otherwise be totally swamped and drowning in the excess volume of the blouse!

I love the tone of the mint green, like a MINT ICE CREAM colour (which I sort of mentioned in a previous post 'Ice Cream and Glossiness'). The combo of the mint green and the pastel grey/purple I adore!

Useful Tip:
When wearing something loose and unfitted- balance out your proportions by wearing something fitted on the legs!

Today I'm Wearing

Rabbit & Fox Fur Cape Jacket--- Cypress (high street shop in Hong Kong)
Grey Bag--- Prada
Sunglasses--- Tom Ford
Black Cotton Jumper--- H &M
Black Jeans--- Miss Selfridge
Black Thigh-High Boots--- Cypress

   

Since the weather has been seriously playing up ( freezing in the morning, super warm in the afternoon, freezing AGAIN starting late afternoon), I've thrown on a very versatile cape/jacket, versatile in a practical sense- lightweight but with a fur collar to keep me warm early and late in the day.

This jacket colour is SOOOO different and unique ...it's actually a dark brown fading into a green...doesn't sound too appealing on paper and no doubt, this is a hard jacket/colour to wear...but I think I've managed it as I'm still quite fair at the moment.

I've made the jacket the main piece of my outfit by dressing in black and adding another block of colour (the bag) to keep everything simple. I've even put my hair up just to keep everything easy on the eyes. One of my more different items of clothing...but I like different =)! I love classic pieces with a twist!

Useful Tip:
When wearing a unique piece like this jacket, don't try to overpower it by mixing in too many colours. I even kept my boots black just to play it a little more simple.

My Style: Mixing high and low

Today I'm Wearing:

Blue Military Coat--- Pinko
Grey Cotton Jumper--- H & M
Black Jeggings--- Topshop Petite
Grey Bag--- Prada
Nails--- my own (haha) with Bio Sculpture Gel colour: Paradise Pink
Sunglasses--- Tom Ford

I love to match my 'metals' or what I like to refer to as 'hardware'.

Meaning, if I'm wearing something with gold (in this instance, let's say the gold buttons on my coat) I will match it to something else with a hint of gold (in this case, the gold hardware on my bag and sunglasses). It's quite simple really..and I think it pulls any outfit together!

I don't, however, make matching hardware or ANYTHING a rule! I find a lot of people restrict themselves on what colours they can or cannot wear. Common 'rules' such as "can't wear black and brown together" or "can't wear navy and black together" go in one ear and out the other for me.

I don't care so long as everything looks good! So ditch the rules everyone and wear whatever works for YOU!
