Inner Child.

Purple sparkling nails with DIY kiddish necklace as headband x simple DIY LBD. 

It's time for a quick sum up again cause I think I have abandoned this blog for too long. I really need to keep myself a habit to blog. Anyway, I didn't have too many outfits to post lately, as I just finished my exams and coming up with two design deadlines. Busy! But, well, c'est la vie! Isn't it? 


Something to mention is, Topshop is finally opened in Hong Kong! I was so excited to go to the opening, but at last I didn't because they started to queue 3 and more hours before the opening! So, I went there few days later and it was still crowded! Long queue outside the fitting room, I was lazy to try on any clothings. Hence I got this nails package which doesn't need fitting! I am always a big fan of Topshop Nails! I always ask my friend to bring me this when they visit Hong Kong from Malaysia/UK. 



Beautiful colours and glitters, aren't they? I am addicted to glitters lately, it makes me feel so fairy-ish and wakes up my inner child immediately, well, my inner child is pretty strong and tough who lives happily inside me (sometimes, she ran away when things gone slightly wrong, but yea she is a tough girl who comes back after cries). Talking about this, I thought of a quote "Creative adult is a child who survives" (something like that... hmm.. I forgot where I got this from).

I am really into fairy-tale and dreamy stuffs. So for the coming design submission which we need to create a garment with recycle theme, I have this sketched. 


My design sketch, I titled it Waking Dream


I will create this look with used stuffs. Hope my new baby could be born smoothly tho.
At first I was quite worried about the boring look of the dress, honestly, I do not know how to create dramatic stage costume for a show because I can't imagine someone would like to wear it when I myself wouldn't want to. Yes, I love haute couture and I definitely love Mcqueen and CDG and other great designers who do beautiful dramatic show pieces. At the same time, I love some famous designers with more wearable collections like Lanvin and Jil Sander and others. So, when it comes to fashion show, I would really do something in between, trying to strike a balance. To be honest, I am just a beginner in fashion and do not know how to make those fine crafts, so I never could imagine me doing fine made couture. Yea, I just want to say I have been struggled alots from this point, and thankfully I have my man and some of my good friends who understand me and support me. One of my friend told me that I do not need to be creative as long as there is my personality in the design. This really means a lot to me. So I just gotta keep reminding myself to be sincere and be myself. Never try to be somebody else because you could never be exactly like that same person. 

Alright, cut the craps. 
Before ending this post, I would love to share this cute fairy-like inspiration from Lacy Barry, I first got addicted by the light bulbs headpiece when I was wondering in Pinterest, because my man and I were exactly having this same idea a month ago for the look with recycle theme as mentioned above. Anyway, I just felt excited to see the idea is actually doable.

[Outfit] Soup of the Day: The Magician's Dream.




As I previously mentioned, I am at the 7-day Journey with SHOPAME.com, so of course I would be wearing the amazing Ame heels. As predicted, I wore black again to match with the blue heels, however, this time I added a bit more creativity and fun! I decided to wear this gold party hat which was leftover from my man's birthday and, to be more creative and to look more awkward (yes I like to look like a weirdo sometimes, at least weirdo is having more fun than the normal one), I add this white rose on top (again a leftover, from the making of flower crown). 

I feel like I am like a magician, and at the same time The Little Prince (guess it's because of the rose). 

Besides, I intentionally paint my nails into this Barbie pink (it's named Daydream from Topshop, how romantic!), which was brought to me by my deary friend. For your information, Hong Kong doesn't have Topshop, urgh. Heard that it is coming soon tho'. Anyway. Then I put on this sweet pink blusher from NARS to match with the nails. My classmates thought I was drunk when I enter the classroom with the pink blush. How cute they are. 


Casting spell!

Dancing in the rain~






Because I am not really a high-heels person, I normally wear loafers or flatform, normally I mean like 95% of my life. So, I also took some picture of this outfit with my Monki shoes, as I think this quirky look fits well with it!
