Breakfast at Tiffany's


Hello lovely bloggers :) Thank you for all your wonderful comments! 

I'm glad you all are excited about friendship bracelets too! When I go back to Hong Kong this summer I will buy out all the colourful string from the ladies in the street markets and make loads of them to decorate myself with (and maybe my friends, if they buy into the trend haha). I may even toy with a friendship necklace.... or a belt.... the possibilities are endless!

I spent a nice day in the sun with my mum today, we had a little walk around the shops in my area and ate a huge lunch at an asian fusion restaurant.

I broke out my platform shoes and wide-brimmed hat :) Inspired by Audrey of course!


I'm actually wearing two skirts - tried to make a peplum effect :) 
Can you see at all? A rah-rah skirt over an AA pocket jersey skirt.





Sad story: I actually scored the khaki-green Emma Cook boots that the blogosphere (including me!) were in love with but they didn't fit my feet properly at all and I had to return them. When I saw these chunky monkeys, I thought they looked kinda similar? I love them anyway. They are UNNATURALLY comfortable.

Hat - H & M
Cashmere Cardi - Zara

I'm going to apologise in advance if my posts become very sporadic. I have MAJOR exams coming up in a few weeks and I really need to do well. They basically determine my career :( 

But never fear - I shall be back with a renewed enthusiasm when they are done!

Much love to ya'll :)

Throwback


I miss early teenage years. This summer I intend to bring back a few old trends:

CHARM BRACELETS/ANKLETS
-amazon

FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS

-ehow.com

FLARED JEANS

-warehouse

&... VINTAGE NOVELTY-esque TEES. I think this one is the bomb. Mario!!
Would love to slash the sleeves off and wear it loose with cut-offs on the beach.

-retroclobber.co.uk
-----------------------------------

What other trends would you like to see come back around? 

I actually read somewhere that fashion repeats itself every 20 or so years...
Which is funny because this summer is all about the 80s, right? Hmmmm!

Thank you for your lovely comments :)

Spanish Eyes


Hello darlings!

I got these looong beaded necklaces from a tiny alleyway shop in Barcelona. The guy who owned the shop was such a cutie. They have little beads that kinda look like swirly eyes at various points on the necklace.

I got tired of double looping them round my neck so I decided I would try wearing them differently over a simple white tee :)



Here we go again with the hair flicks. I will succeed, someday!

Doing a little dancey-poo.

Front

... and Back! I wore my leather jacket over this ensemble.


These shoes are SO comfortable. I can literally run around town for hours in these. 
Yeahhh they're SATC knock-offs, don't judge!

T-shirt: Zara
Jeans: Random shop in HK
Shoes: New Look

Thank you for your lovely comments everyone! I'm so tempted with the creepers. I looked up "brothel creepers" on Wikipedia and found it hilarious how they got their name.

Basically, ex-servicemen used to wear them in war because of the thick soles but when they came to London, they were seen wearing them when they hit up Soho/King's Cross/various seedy areas. Hence, "brothel creepers"!

Had an interview recently... stressful stuff!!! Can't wait until exams/etc are all over!

Kuesschen,

Home Sweet Home

Still relaxing at home :)

Got my darling little sister to snap a few photos. The first family member to be told about my blog! Me and her are like twiddle dee and twiddle dum anyway so she had to be the first!

Oh I got a haircut.. just a little trim but its going kinda crazy on me today so excuse the bad hair!


Gladiator heels.... mmm zips mmm patent leather. These are weirdly comfy as well - a little platform and a soft sole do wonders.


Have busted out the pastel pink leather jacket with a pimpin' fur hood. Its buttery soft and I love it! When I got I thought it was too cutesy so its been in storage for a while.

-------------------------------------------------------
  • Dress - Random store in Hong Kong (I love the little floral motif round the hem!)
  • Jacket - Lambourghini (Yes, they have a clothes line. No, it's not as tacky as you'd think it would be! They have some nice shirts and loads of gorgeous leather jackets)
  • Eggplant-coloured tights - Market in Hong Kong
  • Gladiator heels - China
A very international outfit today! Not a high street store in sight :)
-------------------------------------------------------
My sister painted her fingernails CRAAAAAZILY. I was very amused. Here they are in all their splendour and wonder and amazement. Be nice ya'll.


Here's where she got the tutorial:

Hope you all had a lovely easter weekend!
