When it rains, I always tend to grab more brights than neutrals. Plus a cup of hot chocolate. ;-) How about you, does the change of weather affect your choice of clothes & drinking habit?

Step into Fall
October 5, 2011 – 10:30 am
I’ve come to a point in my life where I’d better start wearing more comfy shoes than high heels, so I recently got myself some new flats. Each pair have a little twist and I love how they add a bit of whimsy to the classic ballerina look. What are you lusting for right now? ;-)
Fall Outfit (2): Cheap & Cheerful
September 29, 2011 – 10:55 am
If you have been following my blog for a while, you may have noticed that I am a skirt/dress kind of girl most of the time. So in case you are getting bored of seeing all these non-pants outfits, today finally comes something different. Lol~~
This pair of wide-leg polka dots pants from H&M is one of my recent cheap and cheerful funds. I didn’t even want to take them off after trying on. Fabulous cut, lovely made and they are just too comfy to resist. :-P

Happy Monday everyone! Although officially we are still having summer, it already feels like Fall. I adore the crisp air in the morning and evening, while the rest of the day is full of pleasant sunshine. So happy that my favorite season of the year is here! :-D
Wish you all a wonderful Mooncake Festival!

T-Shirt Carré Monsieur et Madame in action. I adore the laziness and softness of this scarf, a great summer accessory. Enjoy your weekend! :-D

Summer Outfit (6): Easy Weekend
August 19, 2011 – 10:26 am
Just another casual ensemble, my typical summer uniform for a laid back day. Love the print on the skirt, so artistic. It reminds me of the iconic works by Mark Rothko.
Wish everyone a fabulous weekend! :-)

Summer Outfit (5): A little bit of my Favorites
August 1, 2011 – 11:15 am
In my last post, I wrote down my approach to build a perfect wardrobe. Besides quality over quantity, what has helped me most is trying to buy only my personal favorites. This post is about some of them. ;-)
The black sweater top/dress has a funny name: the square dress. It is basically just like a square tube when laying flat, but with a pair of interesting asymmetric short sleeves. Unfortunately I don’t have an action shot to show you, but here is an online picture, so you can see how it looks like in person. I’ve worn the dress in various ways and it never failed to wow me.
The bag, belt and necklace have become my wardrobe staples ever since I took them home. Couldn’t be more happy with these purchases.
Last come the skirt and these flat sandals, being a lover for modern abstract prints and geometric shapes. They are things to spice up an outfit and help me form my personal, dare I say: style? Other than that, the bright colors always cheer me up. :-D So what’s your wardrobe favorites?
Top: Knott Galerie Vie, skirt & flat sandals: Marni, necklace: COS, bag & belt: Hermès.
Building the perfect Wardrobe
July 27, 2011 – 10:31 am
At the beginning of this year, I made a style resolution (click here) in order to get myself more disciplined about buying new clothes. Now it has been more than 6 months, time to review. ;-)

Well, writing down a resolution really helps. I’ve definitely become more selective and less impulsive about my purchases. So far none of them is an impulsive buy and all of them can be easily integrated into my existing wardrobe.
I guess there are no universal rules about how to build a perfect wardrobe as everyone’s tastes and needs are different. What works for me is the idea of wardrobe favorites. i.e. when I am about to buy something, I always ask myself whether I’ll love and cherish it forever. In this way, I said good bye to a red crochet sweater which is too trendy, I put down a skirt I probably won’t like next year and I returned a LBD which is not perfect but on sale…
If you are into fashion and like the fun of seasonal change, this is not gonna work. However, if you are more interested in developing your personal style and you prefer quality over quantity, give it a try. Think about a wardrobe full of treasures that give you pleasure season after season, how cool is that? lol~~
Summer Outfit (4): Joyride
July 15, 2011 – 10:35 am
Hello everyone, it’s Friday! To make the pre-weekend time more fun, I’d like to post another fashion challenge outfit, which is also the last challenge to complete, finally (whistling, huhu~~). A “going to see your favorite band for the first time outfit” requested by dear reader Jibjab.
I think the challenge is pretty awesome because I will indeed go to one of my fave bands live concert soon, and this will be my first time too! How did you know that, jibjab? Can you also tell me my fortune in 2012 please? lol~~ Ok, stop joking. Since it will be a Roxette show, I wanted to wear something that is casual, cheerful and cool! Just like the songs by the wonderful duo. :-P
BTW, recently I’ve got to know a few lovely gals who adore COS too, so this post is also for you (Titon, Danke nochmal und ein schönes Wochenende)! :-D Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
Top, Skirt: COS, sandals: Zara, necklace: Hermès twilly & scarf rings, braclets: Hermès, COS.
Summer Outfit (3): Black & White With…
July 4, 2011 – 10:10 am
a hint of color blocking. When I am not in a mood for bright colors, the simple beauty of black & white always pleases me. Hmm….wait a minute, I just realized that I did wear a little bit of bright in this outfit. Can you make a guess? ;-)
