SUDOKU +MARCH-APRIL VIDEO DIARY

wearing: top from Taipei, jeans from One Teaspoon, c/o Beginning Boutique (avail. here), boots from Asos. Photos by Natalie. 

Loving all things cropped paired with low waisted denim and since summer's coming up so is the acceptance level for navel-baring apparel. Of course, one must refrain from eating to a 'food baby' level (thereby steering clear of the ubiquitous 'food coma') unless you enjoy strange looks from sitting MTR passengers. I'm almost giggling to myself at the paradox of this outfit title as i am neither good (or maybe even average) at anything to do with numbers, though i did have a small sudoku fling in the summer (well behind me, worry not). And of course my trusty photographer and mutual pizza lover Natalie is able to make even the biggest denim holes look classy- bow down, friends. 

Oh, and i compiled a few short clips from the last 3 months into a march+april video (though it's already half-past may). Let me know what you think and whether you'd like me to make more! (P.S. some footage of me getting my hair cut off...haha)

AMERICAN APPAREL @ LAB CONCEPT

photos: 1 by Christing C, 4&7 by Lab Concept, 2&6 by Kevin Steinberger, rest by me. 

Last friday night i attended the opening of American Apparel's 'shop-in-shop' in Lab Concept. It was so lovely meeting the AA team as well as the nice models and being dressed by American Apparel for the event (Thanks so much Olivia!). If you're in HK i'd recommend stopping by the shop for some of the exclusive Hong Kong opening items such as the Asia tie-dye cities bag and two tops of the cat print i'm wearing, as well as their perfect basics.

P.S. I'm wearing the AA exclusive Hong Kong cat print sleeveless shirt, zip leather pouch and light denim easy jeans.

THE DENIM SHIRT PT. 2

wearing: denim shirt c/o 7 for All Mankind, bodycon skirt from Blackmilk (thanks Bry), striped crop top from Asos (similar here), leather zipper skirt from NastyGal, denim shorts from Minkpink (here), leopard jeans from Cheap Monday (here), watch from casio (similar here), boots from Asos. Photos by Natalie. 

And here they are, the second batch of looks with my now-trusty denim shirt from 7 for All Mankind's '7 ways to wear 7's' blogger campaign. This has got to be one of the easier styling challenges as i can pretty much pull out any bottoms from my over-cluttered pig-sty slash closet and have myself a fail-safe casual outfit for any occasion. If i ever had to dress with only 10 pieces in my closet, this would be a sure win. 

Oh, and i caved and got an ask.fm account. So ask me stuff here!

HIGH RISE

wearing: wire knit c/o Market HQ, dress and felt hat c/o Beginning Boutique. Photos by Natalie. 

Conquering an ironic fear of heights (i have a foetal-stage thesis that more people above average height are in fact, scared of heights) by standing on a very-collapsable water box is exhilarating in ways that standing on the floor could never satisfy. Thought that the grid on my dress and sweater would somehow correlate with the buildings and windows, but some ideas (and foetal-stage thesis topics) never really work out huh. At least i got down or it would have been a weird newspaper headline to have fashion blogger and water box accident in the same sentence (plus the threat of angry neighbors is nigh with a building full of seniors...i live my life in the fast lane.)

P.S. Exams start tomorrow! Wish me luck :S

RUNAWAY

wearing: top c/o Market HQ, shorts c/o Choies, bangle from Choies.  Photos by Natalie. 

Got screamed at by the psycho owner of the kiosk whilst i was sitting on his chair (after cleaning it for him...geesh) and apparently committing a heinous crime resulting in him watching us hawk-style for the next 20 minutes. But being shot by Natalie whilst being surrounded by potato chips and sipping on tea is as good as it gets so the former complaint is almost eradicated (save for the creepy staring competitions with overly curious chinese beach-tourists). On the other hand i'm kind of getting immune to the staring passerbys thing, which feels awesome, like i'm developing a teen mutant ability or something ...i call it bloggerkinesis (a girl can dream).

p.s. trying out this right-side alignment thing...thoughts?

TINY DANCER

wearing: dress c/o NowIstyle, converse shoes. Photos by Natalie. 

Up until the age of 12 (followed by the mind-boggling -and to me, revolutionary- depiction of princess life in re The Princess Diaries), my almost-teenage girl conception of international order pictured being a princess as sitting around in floaty dresses with insect-like hats and hanging out with a barrage of snobby extended family. Even though TPD pretty much tore apart my deluded fantasy that, well, Mia really didn't need to do much, I snagged one third of the princess-life package with this dress that equals half pajama ballerina and half ice-cream princess. That being a meticulously long post title i decided that Elton John fared better. 

By now i guess you guys are used to the fact that i like eating during shoots (as well as outside shoots but no one cares about that), and with ice cream making it's second appearance it's a sign this has become a well-established fact. It's not everyday that you twirl and twirl around for 10 minutes straight (spinning shots aren't the most attractive) but ice cream makes a good energy-supplement when you feel dizzy and fainting is automatically re-computed into a ballet move i learnt when i was four (so bun-heads, feel free to correct my horrible form etcetera, it's safe to say quitting at 5 was a good decision). 

And no, i refuse to accept that Genovia is not a real country, let alone the fact that Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway are not its rulers.
