Chill for Easter

These are a few items I would like to own/wear right now (only if the weather gets any warmer here in London!). Monki is always one of my favourite stores. And guess what, I've just discovered & Other Stories, a new brand run by H&M. I want almost every single items from them. Anyways, the theme is chill-out, laid back kinda mood since it's Easter holiday right now. Minimalist is the trend or at least it's what I like. A touch of color would add the whole festive/summer feeling. A hint of delicate details is always sweet (like this chain of necklace from The Vamoose). Happy Easter everyone!

Rainbow D.I.Y Necklace

5-minute D.I.Y necklace. All you need is a few sheets of colored cards/acetates, leather cord, a hole puncher and of course, a pair of scissors. And excuse my silly face. Apparently I'm 12 years old! Other projects should be updated soon. (Yea you know how soon is 'soon' right?)

Grey as Always

Photos taken by Alice during London Fashion Weekend. It was a freezing day so I just layered loads. Tailored coat from home. Favourite hat from Monki. Two scarves, black one from Monki and grey one from the back of my mom's wardrobe. You can't really see but nevertheless, I was wearing my black jumper inside, paired up with a pretty leather patched pencil skirt from CUE. That's it for now. Much more to come. 

After Berlin

HELLO WORLD. It looks like it would take me at least 2 weeks to do a new post on my blog. But hey I have been quite busy lately. I have been to the LFW(-end, yea I'm not yet-cool-enough for the official LFW you know), then a 6-day-study-trip to Berlin, then a whole long week full-time working. I have done a few DIY stuff too! I'll take pictures of them all as soon as I have time. I'm crazily busy with lots of deadlines coming up real soon. Also, some personal projects are getting on the way too. The best part is I'm feeling inspired and excited with all these plans. Here are just some pictures taken from the trip to Berlin. There are tons more. I'll keep updating (as long as I find a time for this!). And yes I had too much fun in Berlin. I've fallen in love with the city (or I mean I'm just the kind of person who falls in love with almost every single thing in life!). It's ok. I'm having fun just so you know. Whoever reading this, take care, have fun, enjoy your life and I'll talk to you soon. 

Back to the Future

With the theme 'futuristic', I have chosen a few great pieces that I would love to own. Minimalism is always my thing and I doubt it would go out of trend any soon. It's now all about the details, materials and raw-cut edge. Black leather is never old as always. Hologram is quite something this S/S season. All images are from online stores. Edited by Jazzy Bui.

Layering The Cool Kid

Follow my blog with Bloglovin I know I haven't been updating my blog for a while. There's no particular reason for that apart from I have been sick in the last few days. And also it's Lunar New Year. This year is the year of Snake! How cool is that? So, I feel like it's time for me to get back to blogging. Even though these pictures have been taken 2/3 weeks ago but since I haven't really got time for new pictures, I hope this will do.

This is one of my favourite outfits. I've been interested in layering recently due to the tricky weather in London. All I could think is that the more I wear, the better I feel and the less regret I have later on! And somehow, I always have this image of this cool kid dressed up all in black - grey - denim, walking around town, looking so reckless. Probably, that has been what I wanted to be, at some point. 

Photos taken by Mèow Mẩu. Old jumper from my DaddyBear. Favourite scarf from 'God-knows-I-can't-remember-where'. Men's denim shirt from a vintage store in Melbourne. Skirt designed by me/tailored by my favourite tailor in Hanoi. Beanie from Monki. Creepers from River Island.

Barbara Bui Pre-Fall 2013 Collection

Barbara Bui has always been one of my favourite fashion designers. With this pre-fall 2013 collection, she has just made me love her/her designs even more. Black, gold and beige are three main colors in this collection. Still the same familiar elegant yet so chic elements from Barbara. I love the deep cut which shows such a strong careful handmade tailored feature. This seems to be still on trend next season and might be even bigger, greater than last Fall. Minimalism is surely a big thing without a doubt. Less is more which will be right for colors/patterns but layering would be remained. Menswear features are still being applied quite a lot but in a more elegant form, rather than the 80s' tomboyish style. The printing pattern which looks like over-laced surface is heavily graphic/illustrated. This also reminds me of beautiful illustration works done by Rob Ryan. (*little fact: I'm in the same class with his daughter who is also brilliant, especially at making zines!).

Olive Green for Winter

Monki beanie, United Colors of Benetton jacket, The Jazzy Workshop maxi dress, River Island creepers, H&M bag. Photos taken by Betty Hu.

I know I haven't been updating for quite a while but I hope I'll get back on track soon. Lots of things have been happening lately, mostly fun/good things. Looking forward to busy yet exciting days ahead. 

Happy New Year 2013

To be honest, winter is not really my favourite season of the year. However, I love the idea of layering and being a bit messy/ too much/ over the top. And winter is probably the only time I could actually do this. Even though sometimes I feel like it shouldn't be this cold so I could wear less and still feel nice, I guess winter has its own charm. All I have to do is to have fun with it, I mean, both layering and winter. And as you see, this is the first post of 2013! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Let's wish this shall be the best year so far for everyone! Health, luck and happiness for us all. Exactly one more week til I have to hand in my portfolio, so I'll try to pay real good time on it now. Wish me luck. Cheers!
