[Outfit] Soup of the Day: Lady-like. Not?

Yesterday, I decided to choose the mustard pencil midi which was lying peacefully in my closet for like months (Btw, pencil midi? Pencil skirt? What do you call this kind of skirt? I love the texture of the fabric. It's soft, casual yet could be quite lady-like, and it's with elastic waistband; easy come easy go. lol. ) Oh, and I definitely love the colour! Mustard-orangey? It looks really special, for me. There was black actually the time I bought this skirt, but I still prefer to go for something different (yea, I guess at least half of my closest is in black .. *yawning* )

And, my hair colour is surprisingly matching with the skirt! I never thought of that! Anyway, pair it with my vintage flowery blouse (not new, if you did follow my blog, I wore it before) and the white cardigan I got long time ago from Zara (sorry that one of the buttons was dropped out, ops. ) 

Well. That's all. I am actually blogging now with my little break from the making of the sketch-board, it's due tomorrow, but I am really sleepy right now. Hmm.. 

Soup of the Day: Lady-like.

[Oufit] Autumn is finally here!

The autumn comes late this year here, I could sweat even I am only wearing a thin knitwear in early November. I just started to feel chilly on last Saturday, and I thought: Finally...! The autumn is here!

So I finally could wear my thick knitwear/pullover! I love autumn/winter so much as I love layering outfits! I love mixing and matching my clothes and not getting sweat with thick layering of clothes.

The black huge scarf is one of my favourite item in my winter closet, I got it about 3 years ago from All Saints outlet! And I still love it even though I have added several new scarfs among these years. As I mentioned, I hardly throw my stuffs unless it's broken, especially those I really love, and I love many stuffs. So I ended up keeping everything I have bought since years ago. Sometimes I find that they are still adorable and totally wearable, and, you know, the secret is, I love the fact that you hardly could meet the awkward situation where you see everyone on the street wearing the same outfit as you when you are actually wearing the old seasoned items. *Grin* So my trick is matching the old seasoned item with the new season clothing and voila! You will have your very own style! 

So this time I have my old scarf, old boots, everything old except the silver shimmering pleated skirt I just bought week ago! Love the new skirt! However, the smaller sizes were sold out, so the skirt is a little bit unfit and I think the waist-line should be higher where the skirt could be a little bit shorter, guess I have to alter the waist size later. Hmmphh. 

We walked around on the streets that day after some wedding preparation as the weather is cool and nice, walking and taking pictures of everything we see everywhere. 

Anyway, yes, autumn is here! And very soon will be the winter's turn. I guess the weather is very unpredictable these days, we literally only have few days of autumn before it's turning into winter this year. Weird. 

Sorry for the long post. 

Can't get over with i-D mode.

[Outfit] Under the Sea

Waaaaah!!!

Last week was a hectic week for me, with revisions and tests, anyway, I went to Ocean Park yesterday! I guess I should have a some fun after the stressful week before I start my further revision for coming exams again. 

Anyway, back to the Ocean Park and the outfit I wore yesterday. For those haven't visited Hong Kong before, Ocean park could be literally interpreted, where there are different species of sea creatures and also penguins and etc. Also there is a theme park with different kind of rides and also there are perfomances showing at different time slots. Basically it's a theme park with great aquariums. It has been a really long since my last visit to the park, like 10 years ago? I enjoyed this visit very much!

I wore a vintage blue x white dress, which I think it suits the ocean theme well! Well, I bought the shark headband from the Park to be more into the ocean mood. It looks fun!
I was like a little kid, jumping around and kept shouting : "Wow! So beautiful! Take picture for me!!" There are lots of colourful walls and pretty decorations and of course beautiful fishes and stuffs!

When I wish upon the star...

We played hide and seek in between the seaweed. Ahh.. kidding! The cute little girl just joined me for picture *smile*

 And here goes the aquariums with fishes and the beautiful jelly-fishes...

It is so dreamy with the lights shine through the water and the music playing in big aquarium, and the elegant movement of the fishes and jelly-fish, especially the Sea-Jelly Spectacular (this name is found in the Ocean Park official site, but I think the direct translate from the Chinese name is much more beautiful, which would be: Sea Jelly Kaleidoscope)

[Outfit] Pink is sweet!

Last night, I attended my dear friend's wedding, who was my housemate during my study in UK. I feel so happy for her that she has found her beloved soul mate, who would walk through the rest of her life with her. 

In Chinese tradition, we love wearing colourful dresses, like big red, pink, purple etc. to celebrate. 

So, I wore pink vintage dress to celebrate her happy marriage! Pink is sweet, so does the wedding! 

Love this dress I bought months ago during the summer, which I haven't had the chance to wear it until last night. The long sleeves are perfect for this autumn weather. I do not need to bring another scarf by wearing this. Also, it is formal enough for the wedding occasion yet not trying too hard. Most importantly, it's pink! The colour is just lovely. 

No, that's definitely not my car (I wish I have a car here tho'). We took that car as background to show the colour of my dress! It's still too dark outside anyway, and the yellow street light affected the lovely pink. So There is another indoor picture showing the real colour of my dress.

Anyway, that's all for today. Gotta rest early now and will have French class in the morning (level 2 for French! Yay! )

[Outfit] Maximize the Black.

So, it has been about weeks since my last update on the blog. I have been busying with tons of stuffs lately, classes, wedding preparation, homework this and that. Productive weeks? Not really. Just busy without seeing any solid results. This feeling sucks. 

Anyway, here are some outfit photos I took about a week ago which I didn't really have time to sit down and edit them. I wore all black on that day to dinner at Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel, we had cheese fondue and I think it tastes so much better than the one I had in Geneva. 

Anyway, I have decided to go for all black after few weeks of flowery fever. I love flowery, but sometimes, I do think I look better and cooler in blacks. All black could be boring, but it could be interesting as well if you go layering with HUGE garment or beautiful fabrics, like beautiful lace or sheer blouse. 

So I wore this huge skirt with oversize sheer black shirt accessorised with black shoulder bag. Ta-da! All black but not boring, I think. 

This huge skirt makes me feel very happy! I can't help but keep rotating on the ground to see the skirt flies. I love the skirt so much as the fabric is so thick and it stands well on the shape, however, the downside is that it is so heavy! 

I got this polka dots black sheer shirt (the polka dots is not obvious tho') from a random vintage store, and I love it so much! It's over knee length tho', so I must cover it with a midi longer than it or wear it as a dress. 

Anyway, we passed by this beautiful white wall after dinner and we had fun playing around by ignoring the others looking at us think that we're crazy. What's life without fun? 

Seeking balance is the hardest thing in my life, seriously. 

So, let's have fun and smile even when we lost balance in life!

Lastly, I want to share a bit about the eyeliner I am using now as I have friends asking me about the brand of the eyeliner I'm using and how to draw a beautiful sharp line. Well, I am using the eyeliner called KATE, which could be easily found in the cosmetic shops and with an affordable price. Honestly, I have tried some great brands gel eyeliner, but still it got smudge easily for me, I think it might be my skin problem. Anyway, this Kate eyeliner is sharp and really long lasting! The downside is, it is quite hard to be removed! Other than that, it's a really great eyeliner! 

Well, that's all. Sorry for the long post. 

Soup of the day: Maximise the black.

[Outfit] Birthday Princess

Finally I am done editing my photos for my birthday celebration in Disneyland a week ago. 

(Yes, so now I am officially a year older than last year!) 
This post will be a little bit long, not only showing my outfit but also showing the beauty of Disneyland. 

I had prepared a Disney princess flower crown for the birthday celebration about half a month ago (I'm seriously obsessed about dressing up). I was addicted to collect this series of Disney princess which I got them from the 'capsule toy' machine, where you have to put the coins and try your luck to get the toy you like (it is something like a lucky draw, and the toys are inside the egg-shaped capsules). Anyway, I have tried really hard and spent quite lots of money to finally get the Cinderella I want! Of course, I have doubled most of the other princess, and these are the inspiration for my birthday crown!

My birthday badge! 

Close up of my crown.

I bought this vintage dress for months ago but I decided to keep it until my birthday, as I think it feels quite Disney-ish, like the maid in Disney cartoons? (Oh, and I have already decided to go to Disneyland months before my birthday and I have also got the permission from my man after some begging. Birthday girl always get what she wants right? *wink)

I chose the small pinky children bag to be matchy with the colour of my crown (that's a bag for children if I'm not mistaken, but I love the colour and the price is insanely cheap, again). Anyway, I added the beads and lace on the stripe so that the bag won't be looking too boring. 

I really love Disneyland, I think most of the girls do! I can let myself dream freely in Disney, I could totally let go and act like a child in Disneyland! I could jumping here and there in Disneyland like a stupid kid and also letting the innocent side of me wondering around! 

And I definitely love everything, all the decos and lighting, just everything in there! They looks very vintage! 

Also, I realised that I am really into the light bulbs. There are so many light bulbs and I am in love with them! The light bulbs make me feel like I'm back to the 50s 60s Hollywood scenes. 

Before I end this post, let me share my collection of the Disney princess.

Cinderella!

I guess I better stop here before I'm going too far.
