What I Did for Love

On Dina:
Dress: Pretty in Pink dress from Natalie and Me
Flats: TLTSN

On me:
Dress: In the Park dress from Natalie and Me
Pumps: Charles & Keith

Meet Dina. My lovely sister. You've seen her in my previous outfit post. And now she's back, wearing a dress from my newlyfound shop, Natalie and Me. We did this photoshoot during our last holiday together at home, a couple of weeks ago. We just shot about 8-10 frames when suddenly rain poured down. So we moved the set inside the house. It was not as fun as the outdoor shooting, though...

Anyway, on another note, I guess I'll be moving job pretty soon (if everything goes well, amen!). And that would be my, errr, 5th job for the past three years. Ha! Well, let's just say I'm a very dynamic person :D

Sorry if I haven't replied to you, I just haven't got the chance. I will soon, I hope. 'Till then, have a great weekend!

XOXO,

NYFW Spring 2011 Recap #2

Without further ado, I present thee... the second NYFW Spring 2011 recap! Check out the first recap here.

Oscar de la Renta | A Beautiful Persona

This is definitely my favorite show in Spring 2011 NYFW. I've always loved Mr. de la Renta's collection, but this one, is just out of the world. I imagine wearing these clothes will make me feel like a real lady, a real elegant lady that people will stop and stare to (in a good way). Who wouldn't want to be that lady?



And I figure that florals will still be on next season.

Prabal Gurung | The Great Balance



Prabal opened the show with a striking colored dress, which looks simple but if you take a closer look at it, it was actually carefully constructed, and not simple at all. The following pieces were in the same formula. They all look simple but truthfully, it's pretty complicated. But they all look gorgeous and I bet girls who're wearing them will feel the same way, too.



Thakoon | Easy and Breezy



I'd like to call Thakoon's girls as the girls next door. Well, not exactly next door. They're the cooler versions of it. Like, waayyy cooler...



I'm loving that nude make up!

Vera Wang | Wrapped Elegance



Vera Wang has also been one of my favorite designers. She's flawless in doing her bridal line. So when she started doing RTW, I have no doubts in her. Her Spring 2011 collection is filled with beautiful chiffon draped in stunning silhouette. Simply stunning...

Well girls, that's it. I do hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to check the first recap here. And oh, I'll never stop reminding you to join my very first giveaway here. There's still plenty of time to get a chance to win a dress from Natalie and Me, plus shopping vouchers for all entries. Isn't it lovely?

'Til next post then. I'm going to bed now, work again tomorrow. Gaahhh...

XOXO,

NYFW Spring 2011 Recap #1

Howdy everyone? Having a great weekend? I sincerely hope so. Well, in the midst Fashion Week euphoria (London Fashion Week is starting already!), I'd like to share you some of my personal choices from this year's New York Fashion Week. I'll break it down in two posts, so stay tuned!

Derek Lam | Simplicity at Its Best

It's really easy to love Lam's latest collection. What drew me first was that high-waist flare denim with simple white shirt. Outfits in this collection is truly wearable. They are suitable for girls who, like me, are often rushes to go somewhere, and need one or two pieces that are easy to wear but still look wonderful. This is called putting the 'chic' in the terms 'effortless chic'.



Belts and gladiators are still on. So don't throw them just yet...

Diane von Furstenberg | Happy Girls



Presenting simply constructed basic outfits, Ms. DvF's Spring 2011 collection is just adorable. She's using a mix of primary colors on beautiful patterns, which is her trademark, of course. And those knotted tie details in the accessories is a perfect cherry on top.



Cute alert: round sunglasses + hot pink lips!

Marc Jacobs | Giant Roses



Marc Jacobs seemed to be determined to bring the whole flower garden in the collection. The flower details are everywhere in the outfit. If it's not on the dress, it's on the necklace, or shoes. But since they're beautifully crafted, I won't complain. He, once again, proved that he will still rule the runway and we all will still love him. Hmm, I wonder what he will come up for Louis Vuitton.



See? The flowers are everywhere!

Marchesa | The Best Atelier in Town



I think Marchesa produces the most beautiful, amazing evening dresses. I started to notice this label since couple of years ago, when her gowns popped up on red carpets everywhere. In this origami-like collection, she uses a lot of chiffon, a fabric that shapes her trademark style, and my personal favorite fabric, too :)



Ahh, these are just stunning...

Organic by John Patrick | A True Ready to Wear Collection



Honestly, I just recently heard of this label. But I instantly fell in love in its simplicity and the way that the clothes are truly ready to wear. These are the kind of outfits that I'd like to have in my closet for daily wear.

Okay, I hope you enjoy the first part recap. The next one will come up soon, I hope ;p

Back to Basics

T-shirt: Hard Rock Macau
Denim: Forever21
Flats: TLTSN
Cardigan (below pic): x(SML)

It's good to sometimes not thinking about dressing up and just put on a pair of jeans and t-shirt. Nothing beats its comfort. This t-shirt is not my typically favorite kind of t-shirt, but I bought it only as a souvenir for myself when I visited Macau couple of months ago. And it's actually pretty comfortable, so I won't complain.

My sister went home during the holiday and she delightfully take these pics for me. Then her boyfriend took the picture of us. I miss her (and my other sister and brother) so much, and I was really happy we can be together on the holiday. Even for only a short time.

And girls, don't forget to join my very first giveaway here. You can grab a dress from my shop, Natalie and Me, and psstt.. I'm giving away shopping vouchers as well for those who enter the giveaway.

Anyway, I bet everyone's watching the NYFW right now. So what's your favorite show so far? Spill, please...

XOXO,

Been Here All Along, So Why Can't You See

Dress: Magnolia
Black Blazer: Magnolia
Purse: thrifted
Heels: Marie Claire

Hello there! How are you doing? Had a great weekend, I hope. Okay, so I'm working on this project, which is related to one of my new year resolutions. And I'm sooooo excited! I can't wait to announce it to all of you. Guess which resolution it is. Nah, I'm not telling you now. I just have to finish few final steps and voila... I hope it will be great.

Anyway, this is what I wore to hang out last weekend with my friends. As usual, we went mall hopping. Same old, same old. There's not much to do in this city and mall seems to be the only feasible option to have some fun, especially when you're broke and just want to enjoy the view of some good stuffs.

Okay, I think I have to go now. It's quite late and I still have to go to office tomorrow. Blah! I hate working in an office... No, scratch that. I LOATHE working in an office. So boring... 'Kay, bye now. Have a great day!

XOXO,

Dude, I Just Can't Wait for...

Gossip Girl Season 4!

Who wouldn't wanna miss all the drama... and the fashion?












I prefer Blair's style this season. She looks even more gorgeous. And about Jenny, I can't say that I'm happy that she's back, but I'll admit, she can spice up the drama a bit. Season premiere's at Sept 13. Oh Mon Dieu...

XOXO,
