After going shopping in heels yesterday, I realized it was a poorly-made decision. I can’t even describe how bad my feet look right now.
It suddenly dawned on me that I’m desperately in need of a new pair of loafers. Just look at how comfy they look. I fell in love with “By Paige” loafers; they’re so cute and unique (esp the Night Owl<3)
Just thought I’d share with everyone my loafer madness:)
Who can forget the iconic Givenchy orange coat Audrey Hepburn wore in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.
Actually, all the outfits worth their place in the museum. However, this particular piece represents everything that is the 60s: It’s bright, preppy and lady-like at the same time.
Many have pointed out similar styles which you can purchase, but the one by Courreges (now available on ebay) is my favorite. It only has one line of buttons (Givenchy’s has 2) but the color is absolutely amazing. And Audrey was also known as a Courreges fan.
Get it while you still can:)
As you guys know, I’m currently living in Vietnam and it’s literally being “attacked” by high-fashion brands. This is certainly not a bad thing, especially for bloggers like me. But what I find depressing is the decreasing number of “vintage” or “authentic” shops. Luckily, there’s one popping out of the Louis Vuitton mist, a little shop called “Lam Boutique” (highly recommended if you ever travelled to Vietnam).
(I initially decided to apply for the salesperson position but I can’t find time balance studies and work so…pitty me!)
This is Li Lam, the owner. I absolutely adore her style, it’s simple, effortless, a perfect combination of French chic and Oriental sophistication
But even more delightful is her shop, Lam Boutique. Even though it’s located in the quieter section of the city, it has drawn enthusiasts ranging from famous actresses to fashionistas.
Warm and family-esque decoration are definitely winning points. They create an intimate atmosphere for the shoppers. Kudos to the owner!
Julia from Toughlookdonthurt modelling for Lam. This is my favorite:)
Absolutely dreamy and wearable at the same time.

Have fun, enjoy your week!
Uncle Karl strikes again. This time, an affordable clothing line called K Karl Lagerfeld (available now on net-a-porter.com).
Here are 9 ITEMS I personally think you should invest in from this collection. What can I say, you can never do wrong with chic biker jackets and LBDs.
However, this collection gives me a little bit reminiscence of Alexander Wang SS 2010 and Balenciaga SS 2010. Thoughts?

After seeing this Proenza Schouler rope necklace, I suddenly feel like making a must-have rope necklaces for this spring.
Enjoy<3
Long time no new real posts, 1D,schoolwork and more 1D really takes up a lot of time (I just realized that now and I regret nothing). Anyway, I hope it’s not too late for a post about winter coats because seriously, this is my FAVORITE season, not just for the presents part but mainly for the fact that you can mix up your clothes however you want during this season and absolutely no judgmental looks from anyone.
Give your inner fashionista a chance to shine!

Well, I manage to find something very similar, thanks to Vogue:)
The interior is 99% the same:)
It’s definitely not as versatile as it doesn’t include “Makeup” or “Secret” (D&G is genius), I really love the color and it’s definitely a MUST-HAVE if you travel this summer.

Besides diamond, I always think a clutch is a girl’s best friend. Unlike Nate said in The devil wears Prada, and I quoted “You have one. You put all your junk in it, and that’s it. You’re done.”, a purse, a bag, a clutch is something more, I truly believe so. It brightens a random-outfit day, completes a perfect look and even more, it reflects its owner’s personality.
Today, I gather some best and most unique looking clutches I haven’t seen for a while, since Carrie’s infamous Effeil Tower clutch in SATC 2 to be exact.
Oh Carrie, how I love you…
