rodarte dreams

2012-12-20T08:52:00.000+01:00

Grey Magazine's Rodarte fantasy has got me dreamin'of all the possibilities in life and how wonderful it can be...

even though I'm now sitting in front of my computer not knowing what to do, since it's too cold outside and the temperature of my heater is just lovely.

My life has experienced some ups and downs lately, I decided to set myself free to once again come to Shanghai, though my parents think it's a selfish decision as I'm still quite dependent on them financially. Finally my Father decided to let me have one last year of selfishness, I turn 25 next year, it's a turning point in life I guess. Thank you Daddy for everything you've done for me, I will make you proud. I love you.

I feel like a teenage girl crushing on Garrett Hedlund.

This editorial in US Vogue is lovely, since it's shot by my second favourite modern fashion photographer(behind Tim Walker). Peter Lindbergh is such a visionary with a warm soul, always telling stories through his photos.

Again, can't believe I haven't posted for over two months.

Life is going through major changes, as I'll be leaving Shanghai, my home for over 1.5yrs, in a month. My future goals are to study and work in NYC, but who knows how that will turn out. Cheers to a new life, I guess?

Before I leave the city, there's something crazy I want to do, and you can all be a part of it:

I want to collect postcards and mail them to random people all over the world. If you'd like to receive one, shoot me an email with your address and I'll mail it over. No worries, I'm not a stalker, just want to make some last memories out of ma vie à shanghai ;)

Prada Menswear F/W 2012 is one of the most gracious shows ever. The music, the setting, the clothes, the models. Seeing Gary Oldman and Willem Dafoe on that runway is enough.
I die!

Lovely and lengthy editorial from Vogue Australia August 2012.

Featuring 20+ pages, Fall/Winter Collections never looked so awesome.

resort 2013: SEA

2012-07-06T00:00:00.000+02:00

style.com

Ending my resort series with SEA

To be honest, this is the first time ever I've heard of this brand

but perhaps this is love at first sight.

Boy meets girl, sailor meets soldier, runway meets everyday wear

SEA concludes all I've ever wanted

Though the pricing remains unknown, if it's anything less than Boy., Girl., APC, etoile by IM, Carven--- then I think I've found my new boo.

1&2 Valentino

3&4 Vionnet

5 Willow

I don't think words can describe how much I'm obsessing over that Valentino lace jumpsuit. You can always count on the brand to make something super girly, it always makes me channel my hidden personality.

as for Vionnet, the subtle colors and silhouettes are beyond beautiful, they make truly gorgeous clothes for hanging, not for everyday wear, especially for someone who sweats a lot and has no extra cash for dry-cleaning(oui, c'est moi)

last but not least, the unexpected cutout dresses,

always on my wishlist!

couture - two

2012-01-27T12:29:00.001+01:00

[pics: NYmag]

Valentino's designer duo had big shoes to fill, but they managed to make the brand their own. They've transformed the sexy Valentino woman to a flirty girly girl. Season after season, the brand has grown more and more on me. Now it's one of my favourites!

HC Spring 2012 is one of the best shows ever, the details and colours are drop dead gorgeous- like a dream. It's definitely my big wedding gown fantasy. Take any look from it and put it on a bride (even the pants look)...ahhhhhh PERFECT! Can you choose just one? As I said in my previous post, there are two fashion houses I couldn't pick just one look from, Valentino is one of them...which is the next? Gotta come back for more hehehe ;)

Bisous

Have a nice weekend

Don't forget to come back for the last couture post!

couture - one

As a fashion lover, couture season is always exciting.

It's the time of year when we get to see extravagant creations.

Every piece is an "art", no arguments there.

Besides the three amazing looks I've chosen (my top three to be exact)--- you can tell I'm all about girly and pastel looks this season, there are two brands I couldn't pick just one look each, so I've decided to share them two in separate posts.

Three looks here are:

Giambattista Valli, Chanel, Alexis Mabille

AMAZING right?

Stay tuned for more!

add on wishlist: pink suit

serious lovin'

it's my first xmas in shanghai

no snow, no family, no christmas atmosphere

But I'm still gonna make some vin chaud and chill in my apartment watching films while doing laundry (yes I can multitask), then call up my parents and friends to tell them how much I wish they were by my side,

what are your plans for Xmas?

Happy Holidays to all

bisous

2011-12-20T16:17:00.001+01:00

can't believe it's already 5 days before Christmas!

(can't believe I haven't posted in the longest time either...apologies)

although I'm stuck a dead end job with lousy paychecks...a girl can dream, right?

So here are my 2011 XMAS WISHLIST, here goes:

(clockwise from top left)

1. UNIQLO Jeans, best color I've seen in a while

2. Céline tote, WITH ZIPPERS! This is definitely a must (fingers crossed)

3. Carven sweater, gotta follow the ugly sweater tradition ;)

4. Miu Miu Noir Sunglasses, sold out back home, should I cave for super high prices in Shanghai? This item has been on my wishlist ever since I saw these babies on the runway...

5. Diptyque candle, all season must have

6. A.P.C chambray shirt, lusting over the perfect silhouette

7. Isable Marant boots, should've gotten them in Paris...or in HK when I saw them in September...I regret so much not buying these precious dolls

8. Catbird ring, I'm always lured by thin and feminine jewelry/accessories

and there you have it, my wishlist for 2011 xmas.

what's on your list?

bisous

Happy Halloween

2011-10-31T09:43:00.005+01:00

It's Halloween but it's Monday.

Since I have to wake up early for work tomorrow, partying tonight isn't gonna happen.

Instead, watching Edward Scissorhands can makeup for the loss of going out for fun.

Wanted to pick one favourite scene of my all time favourite Tim Burton film, but it was just too difficult.

I'm sure everyone's seen Edward Scissorhands. Is there anyone else out there who cries every time like me? The story is so sad yet Tim Burton managed to create a wonderland out of it. Pure Genius

Winona + Johnny is LOVE

Oh how I wish the two were still together!

(oops, am I showing too much of my geeky creepy side?)

I'm obsessed! These photos are definitely my recent favourites.

Time to head out for some outdoor fun before Winter arrives.

Happy Sunday everyone

whats the question?

2011-10-28T17:22:00.005+02:00

named the Toiletry Case, this Proenza Schouler treasure is far from our normal kit to the powder room. But this cutie could easily fool others into believing it's a clutch. Arggh the great dilemmas in life. If you're all go, you can click on the add to cart button via my link below, and I'll hate you for buying my dream toiletry case.

Buy here (if you dare)

speaking of toiletry cases, it's Friday night.

Will definitely check out girls' pouches tonight to determine whether I should get this baby...if I stay sober enough that is :P

...in the dark!

How awesome would it be to wear one of the looks in this editorial to a club? Sorry, I'm being sarcastic. I adore this set of photos, but for some reason, it reminds me of the aquarium.

update: went to a club yesterday and again realized it'd be kinda cool to wear these actually "visible" clothing there haha
