[Outfit] Soup of the Day: Nicole in the Wonderland x random daily life.

My friend reminded me that I seldom update about my Soup of the Day outfit album lately, and yes, I feel bad about not being persistent but I am just too busy preparing for my coming grad collection and for the flower crowns I've promised to make for 2 of my beloved friends' wedding. 

Anyway, here is the little sum-up for the past few days of what I am up to. So there is the outfit I wore days ago. Casual simple black pullover with the vintage dreamy colour midi, the pattern feels like the free-movement of watercolour. We went for dinner after class and I saw this dreamy set-up by Daydream Nation, I felt like I walked into the wonderland! Love the mood and especially the pastel small houses done by Stickyline. 

Drawings by my man - [ here ] is his wonderland where he collects inspirations and shares his drawings and paintings. 

Did I mention that I am in love with red lips lately? It goes well with casual outfit, especially black. It could add cool feminine touch easily to the simple basic outfit, or it could emphasize the drama for the dramatically exaggerate outfit. 

And then, I bought the same pair of unicorn tights yesterday from RI by Carrie, exactly the same as the one I got long time ago. I met the designer and she is so kind. Love her new designs as well. Anyway, yea, call me freak. I would double everything I love in my closet if I could, just to avoid that I couldn't get them anymore if mine is broken, stolen, get caught in fire, or bitten by mouse, or it runaway from me the freak, perhaps? Whatever. I just love to stock up, that's my biggest problem too. Well, I have already stock up for those pair of shoes I am wearing. *wink* 

And then, I also just finished one of the crowns I've promised to make, I hope the bride-to-be would feel happy about it. 

Last but not least, since it's about dreamy wonderland for this post, I would love to end it with Anne Siems' artworks, it's so beautifully inspiring!

[Outfit] Soup of the Day: 15 Minutes Eternal.

Here comes the late post of my outfit pictures I taken weeks ago! I went to the Andy Warhol's exhibition held at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. The exhibition is pretty good, as "pop art is for everyone", it's not difficult to like his work. I would not use 'love' tho', just my personal view. 

Anyway, I wore this simple yet not casual outfit to the exhibition. I am in love with this coat I purchased from Pull and Bear at the discounted section, it's like love at first sight, when I saw it hanging there and was ignored by people passing around. 

I added a pair of lace socks which we used to wear when we were young to make the whole unicorn look more dreamy and also contradict to the minimalism of the clear cut grey coat.

Finally here is a normal outfit post after the overdose of wedding posts. Before uploading my self designed wedding gown, here are some casual outfit photos I took weeks ago.

I love the scarf I just bought from Monki about month ago (yes, I realised that I am really a Monki freak.) Anyway, love the cute colours of the scarf, so I decided to go soft for the whole look. 

I match the vintage sheer flowery shirt with the flowery patterned knit-vest, both different flowery patterned white clothing looked quite odd together, but I like the strange-yet-kind-of-harmonious feeling  of the whole look. Maybe, I am the weird one. 

Anyway.

[Outfit] The Secret Garden

I didn't blog often the last week because I was busying with some nonsense lately. One of the nonsense was that I participated in a Japanese Comic event (I don't know what is the exact name of the event), where people rented a booth (or table?) to sell their own created comics and some 'side-products' (actually they don't invent their own comics, instead they normally choose some existed characters/comics they love and used them to create their own story. Uhm, basically, they copy and add things further to make them their own.) 

Anyway, I made myself a rather exaggerate headband (not really exaggerate but it is a bit more than the normal one) to be more coordinate to the event and the people there; I think I look really normal there as there were many people had cosplay (they dressed exactly like their favourite comic charaters, and I somehow feel that they could be good in fashion as they put so much effort in their clothings and I think some of them made their own accessories, or their 'weapon'? As you know, the Japanese comic characters have their own weapons.) 

So here was my look of that day: 

I feel hope with the horse and star on the flowery. 

I actually successfully picked the horse soft toy from a claw machine long time ago, it was a key chain and I removed the chain and have it stick on the flowers, I just feel like creating the sort of dreamy feeling, where the unicorn standing on the flowers garden (although it's not an unicorn, I just can't get over with the unicorn); I think that the horse is cute and it looks so innocent to be matchy to my theme. 

Also, I made the star myself! I mean I literally made the star and painted it into silver-gold by myself. 

I also made a more simple and more ready-to-wear kind of flower headband to change after the event, as it's kinda weird actually to wear the horse on the head and walking on the street.

My inspiration is from the following photos: 

Anyway, that was all. It was my first time to participate in such event, honestly I don't read comics myself and the only Japanese animation I really love is Sailormoon. It is still a great experience tho' ! I had fun! 

Sometimes I think nonsense makes me feel alive! *wink*

[Outfit] Grand Wishful Unicorn

Weekend-photoshooting seems to be my usual routine lately, especially when I have bought something new or have made some new accessories, I just can't wait to show and share them! 

So we went for a quick shoot yesterday with my newly bought stuffs (I think almost 90% of the things I wore yesterday for the shoot are new! *evil smile*) Yea, I went for shopping on Friday before my class (so I was like carrying whole big and heavy paper bag to the class)

Anyway, I finally bought a pair of Ri by Carrie tattoo tights which I wanted to get it for months!! There is a unicorn printed on it (UNICORN!!! Another thing I am quite obsessed about, besides the stars. It's so mysterious yet dreamy and beautiful, and it feels like it could bring hopes like the stars do.) I feel like I'm living in fairy tale with the unicorn tights *day dreaming*

Hence, I decided to go with the grand wishful unicorn look yesterday. 

The unobvious pink colour on my hair are shown only under certain lighting. 

Always love playground.

Love the detail of the bag!

Of course I do remember that I mentioned about the inspiration of the ombre hair colour for the shoot. So, I tried to colour my hair with the pastel chalk, as taught in some blogs online, where they taught us to wet the hair a little bit and apply the pastel on the hair directly, and fix the colour with hairspray (I sprayed a lot as the pastel could not easily stay on the hair!) uhm.. the effect is not really obvious though as seen in the picture, but it still could be seen with strong attention (well, it's not ombre though, just some highlighted pink hair? uhh.. )

Oh, as I said 90% of the things I wore are new, yes! So I bought the black sheer dress together with the tattoo tights. I made the new necklace with pearls and horse just to match with the unicorn and 'luxurious' mood. The flowery 'bag' was categorized at the make-up/accessories session in the shop, so I think it supposed to be a make-up bag, but who cares! I love the flowers and the colours! It's inexpensive as well. So I bought it and make it a 'clutch'. See, it just makes people feel happy by looking at it, and I absolutely love the detail of it where there is wordings "I know Love" on the zip. How true it is. 

I am still in the i-D's wink mood.
