style segment 1

here's a quick preview of my street style segment for 2threads:



Collin whom i met at Caufield station, works in a funky boutique store in Prahan. I loved his outfit, right down the the pointy shoes and umbrella!



I cheated a bit with Kat, she is my coursemate in university. But she never fails to amaze me with her inimitable sense of style!

Boots: Wittner
Dress: Flea market in France
Vest: MNG
Necklace: Lion in Love
Hat: Camberwell markets

The shade of blue doesnt show up well on camera, but it is really the richest brightest shade guaranteed to dispell the winter blues!



Viet is another coursemate of mine, and his top bit of fashion advice? Listen well guys! 'Wear clothes that fit you well! Not too baggy or tight - just right' Word!

Shoes:Raben
Jeans: Lee
Polo shirt: Target
Cardigan: Lacoste

The cardigan is such a nice bright happy lime shade. I do love colours.


and me!

i ll share my top bit of fashion advice too
its an oldie but a goodie

Everything starts from the basics up. Good underwear and shoes do make an outfit!

Top by American Apparel, cardigan by Laura Ashley, belt by Hermes, shorts by Bisley, shoes by Bally



Featuring the fabulous Jenny Mills, from the intimates lab in Malvern.
How impeccable is her style?
i m not sure if it shows up in the photo, but her dress realy has the most amazing tiers and detailing.



Coat (worn as dress) by Commes de Garcons and funky Prada brogues



and finally, my dad
i know, he is a surprise inclusion is he not?
but i was so impressed with him putting together this outfit (without my mom or i helping him) that i couldnt resist.
very professor in harris tweed no?
i really have to do something about my camera though, his green shirt is much more vibrant in real life. and the colours went together beautifully. Maybe i could change the exposure? I m so glad he bought this jacket, the cut is great and emphasizes his build.



Herringbone tweed jacket and wool vest by Ralph Lauren, shirt and pants by YSL men

ignore his feet, he was wearing his slippers in the house!

haha and i ll leave you with the most divine image


balenciaga booties!
i m really digging this season's structural shapes

time to head off and check out who's wearing great footwear on Melbourne's streets!

back!

wow i realised that my blog is very emo-sounding

fear not lovelies!
i am back and
'checking out of heartbreak hotel'
lol
plus mom, bless her, is anxious to marry me off and is hence setting up more and more omiai sessions for me.

yes la its 'xiang qing' but i m making it sound cooler.
basically its hard to wallow in emotions when so much is going on.

you know that 'i will survive' song that used to be in the mosquito spray ad?
by gloria gaynor or something?
yeah i m humming that.

anyway
got introduced to yearbookyourself.com through wyn's pics on facebook
i have one word

GOLD!

enjoy.







ROFL

played strip lecture in class last week
whenever the lecturer said the word 'colgate' we had to take a piece of clothing off
no mean feat if you consider that it was a 2hr session from colgate promoting their toothpastes to us!
the end results, were highly amusing.
i dont think anyone expected it to get carried so far.
lol
and jia even won a special prize at the end.
from colgate i mean
yay!


note ady's open shirt

discarded clothing


jia and her prize!

cocktail ball was last night
it was fun
nectar lounge had the coolest drinks ever!

i think i have sufficiently proven to myself i can have fun without drinking too much
i mean,
i think its a problem when every second person last night kept commenting on how unusually sober i was

i love love love my dress
but its got beer on it and i have no idea how to clean
lets hope dry cleaning works.
