Cute Club Look

Schoolboy Uniform Power

A preppy look almost like a uniform with the white shirt and navy-blue pants.
Accented with a statement bib necklace and black rose earrings.
(Look in the mirror to see shoes)

I went to a club called 51 for an after party, after a party (last lap) with my sister, Jessica and my friend, Chanice.
Usually people wear dresses to this club but I wasn't feeling a dress that night so I wore this outfit instead and twinned with my sister :D

Look1: A Fresh Approach

A Fresh Approach

This was a very fresh and clean look I put together about 2 weeks ago when I initially got over my chicken pox.
 I combined things I wouldn't usually and created this new look, A Fresh Approach which is my mindset for the coming semester in Uni, a fresh start and different approach to studying and my life. 
This is a good transition look from holidays to school time and it can even be a liming(relaxing) outfit..

Jewelry: Silver is not the best metal for my skintone but with the right outfit it works well. The earrings are chandelier, slightly antique "silver" ones with cyan and light yellow-green stones from Wonderful World(TT) and the bright, silver bangles are from Ardene in Canada(CA)

Shirt: This white, cropped, rolled-sleeve, shirt, my mum purchased from Bang Bang for me with the intention of me using it for church. A little short but I think I can still use it ;)

Shorts: If you check my post before this one you'll see the story of my green, matelot shorts if you want a tutorial/DIY. Originally purchased at Westport(TT) I believe (R.I.P Westport) 

Shoes: Qupid Trench-01 (Nude Pat-PU)
The newest shoes to my collection are these nude, Qupid pumps I bought on a whim in Micles(TT) Grand Bazaar for an okay price. Haven't broken them in yet but they look really good on :3 
Will review them once I've worn them.

Bag: The cyan, envelope clutch/ shoulder bag, is one of my fave bags but I don't wear it often. Purchased at Micles for under $100TT if my memory serves me right but the first time I used it a screw from it went missing :( (only used it once)

Make up: No styling was done sorryyy >.< A suggestion is below

Alternative  

(Not exact pieces I am wearing(Only shoes))

Here is a little make up styling tip for this look. 
-To have a polished yet casual look, put your hair up in a bun or a sleek ponytail. 
-A bright, pink lip and fuchsia pink glittered nails add more ''umph!'' and steer the look away from a mint ad. 
-A simple cat-eye with a peach wash will do for the eyes and light blush for the cheeks so it does not create a clown effect on your face.

Summary: Green shorts, Blue-Green Bag, White cropped shirt, Nude pumps, Silver Jewelry, Pink lips

I hope it was inspiring. :)

Lookbook 1 :Summer time is fun time

This lookbook is something I started working on a very long time ago and since my dilemma w/ my phone and losing all my pics I'll use in this blog. 
These looks are expressions of Asian fashion and American trends fusing together. Most looks will seem cohesive but the pieces will be from completely different sides of the world (brand wise...we all know everything is made in Asia(most things)) 

Summertime is fun time has 3 Looks 
1) Date look
2) Travel look 
3) Morph-able look(3 looks in 1)
With that stated here is the first lookbook I put together!

Look 1: Fun, Flirty and Frivolous

"Her ponytail swings back and forth in the cool, wind as she totters down the uneven park walkway to her date who sits serenely on a green checkered blanket, flashing a smile as he spots her approaching."

Fun, flirty and just a little frivolous perfectly describes this outfit as it seems to be quite creatively cute but just a little impractical for a park date, maybe swap the heels with some pointed ballet flats.

Nevertheless the Flirt element is there with the pinks and flowy skirt, the Fun with the colour contrasts of pink and blue and the bright shoes and graphic bag and the frivolity of the whole thing altogether as it gives off a lighthearted vibe.

Look 2: Best Before Bedtime

"It became clear that the flying from country to country without anyone to enjoy the sights and scenes with her was a bore and very tiring. Fluffing her hair, she used it as a pillow and fell to sleep"

After jetsetting from L.A. to Tokyo nowadays everyone wants to be "fancy" but the reality is that you're going to be "fatigued" and this is a perfect outfit for hiding your jet-lagged, pre-nap grievances. 

A hat to hide your messed up hair because the flight was that wild, with the seat-belt sign coming on 3 times and all! 

In all seriousness, this outfit is cute airport fashion and perfect for a long flight because you're basically wearing a nightie ;D hence the name Best Before Bedtime.

Look 3: Time to Tic Toc

"Rushing you throw shades in your bag and a fun necklace. Today you have to make a statement, you have to let everyone know you are in control... late but in control"

This is just as the synopsis states, a rush outfit, many elements that come together very beautifully as an ensemble. It can easily go from work to beach to night. 
Work= wear all pieces except the sunglasses
Beach/day= fold camisole into crop top, take off blazer and put on sunglasses
Night= fold camisole into crop top and put on blazer (sunglasses optional)


Andddd that's it for now, maybe a part2 with pics of my clothes may come along depending on the feedback on this one!
