Busy (eating) Saturday

Photos by Helena. I wasn't in my best shape while taking these pictures due to the heavy rain and tiredness. Anyways, this should be how I normally look like when I leave the house for uni or going to the nearby shops. Look: Vintage denim jacket + oversized shirt + olive backpack from thrift stores, black jumper + shorts are essential pieces in my closet during winter.

Autumn Has Arrived!

Photos by the talented Kim. We went to the riverside in Kingston for an autumn walk and the scene was so pretty that I felt like I'm in a movie! Faux leather jacket + denim shirt by The Jazzy Workshop, skirt and shoes have been mentioned in other posts. Ok, to be honest, I've have this skirt and this pair of shoes for a good few years and I can't remember exactly where I got them from. In terms of clothes, I love custom made pieces. Especially when it comes to jacket or coat, I want the perfect piece only that fit and stay with me for a long time (for me, long time means at least 5 years). I have never been much of a shopping girl (not ever close to a shopaholic). I just want to get the right piece and be loyal with it! Yes, there is something called 'loyalty' in fashion too (for me, at least)! 

Back With Something New

I know that it has been too long since my last post but hey summer had been pretty fun for me. I hope it was for you too! Now I'm back to London to continue my study. Should be graduate with my bachelor degree next summer. Things have been really busy lately, but hopefully I'll manage to update this blog more often! Oh and guess what, new hairstyle obviously! Photos taken by my lovely friend Helena, check out her cool pictures here. In these pictures, striped jersey top + oversized blazer from The Jazzy Workshop, scarf from Muji, trousers and shoes have been mentioned before. That's it for now. Surely I will have to update more.

Say 'Hi' to the new Hologram Kid

Photos taken by Mèow Mẩu. It was a bad hair day for me. A leather cap was a quick fix for the photos (to be honest, it's not even mine!). All black and grey as always, even though it was a pretty nice sunny day. And yes, here is one of my recent purchases, a hologram clutch from Other Stories. Apparently, this is my favorite store. Good quality, cool branding and affordable price. So much love for this! I'm busy working on my final major project and re-do several projects for the portfolio. But it's gonna be fine. I'm pretty excited for several up-coming projects. Hope that I would get the chance to show it to everyone.

Moodboard-ing for The Jazzy Workshop

Time for some moodboard-ing. The Jazzy Workshop is planning for a come-back this summer. I'm super busy currently due to the huge amout of workload at uni. Things are falling into places so everything should be fine. Hopefully I'll have some time/some semi show-able work to post on this blog. Working on some exciting printing/handcraft projects, just so you know!

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. 

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.
