HER FIRST TIME

Sometimes it took you years to know a person or get to like a person, sometimes it only took 2 minutes to open the ocean of the private convo.
Me : I like everything about you, Jiawa!
Jiawa: me too, but am not gay though. Don’t fall.

casual = formal + sporty

August 30, 2014
DSC_1218

If you are doing freelance work, then do you ever crave on the sharp dressing? It’s another kind of fashion bit far from my real life, and thanks for not being a white collar, I can wear whatever i want, I can wear suits if I really want to. All am saying is that I am going from 100% sporty to office casual now, getting older? Yeah. Panicking.

GUCCI IS REALLY GOOD AT IMPRESSED US WITH THEIR SPRING AND SUMMER WHITES AND SAILOR STRIPES. THEY DID IT AGAIN….

ACNE 2015 ( buy long last fashion pieces )

Sometimes, some labels, blow big trends in front of us, but they bore us even before the end of this season. Before the ending of 2014 half year sale, before 2014 Winter / Summer collection ends, Resort 2015 is released from all the labels. While some trends survived and keep showing up on the 2015 resort collections. It is time for you to go to style.com to find out what trends are still here and invest from 2014 sales before they ends or maybe wait till all the big retails throw another 20% off sale before the end of half financial year. So what trends ? big wide legged pants? flared silk whites ? cropped top ? cropped turtle neck? slides ? flats ? sandals everywhere ? big buckles ? Checks or stripes ? colour blocks or minimalism? geographic prints or floral? camo or hologram? metallic or  pastel collars ?

Who changed the way you blog ?
Who’s the most influencing bloggers ?
I changed a lot in the way I blog after reading style bubble. Susie has not only just blogging her own styles but the most importantly, been always digging in the history, stories BEHIND the logo. I hardly find any bloggers showing “the details” about the designer pieces.  There are three main differences between designer labels and street fashion labels.
1. history and concepts
2. quality and fabrics
3. cuttings and makings
If we all just wearing designer labels like all the mannequins ( with save pins at the back on the waists), there what is the point of showing the blog entries everyday, I would rather go through net-a-porters lookbooks. Of course you still can showing your own outfits, but, while, then…. it will be all about the colour or the blurred cutting of that key pieces, you can replace it with replica, similar street style labeled items rather than the true designers items.

The Grounds, of Alexandria.
Alexandria is a suburb not far from Central Sydney, I actually have only been there once since 6 years ago. I only know it as Sass and Bide studio is located there when every time I looked at their newsletter etc.
It is a suburb with not much to look at but warehouses and new coming studio offices.
but with lots of hidden / rising secrets. The Ground roasters, cafe and brunch is one of them.

It really works! Taking a day off from work and walking across Sydney shores from Double Bay to Shark Bay, explore the par of Sydney where only people have real money can stay around longer than  I did. 
Standing on the edge cliff where the biggest house in Shark bay is right behind me. 
The men made 2 floor tall back yard in a European style reminds me of where Lady Gaga pushed his lover off in the Video Paparazzi. It is exactly in the same style but only this one is in a tanned colour. 
What really works ?
Some times I dont want work, but I want myself want to work. So checking out beautiful residences in Elizabeth Bay really inspires me and it works ( to push me forward )

Chinta Ria MOOD FOR LOVE (Malaysian) which located inside Westfield Sydney, is definitely one of the best little secret corners to take off the big city’s hustle and bustle and escape to enjoy this exotic village styled yet losing city romance corner  for a dinner for 2. Blessed by its intimate surroundings, if you are not planning for a big meal, sit at the bar side and pour yourself a glass of exotic Asian cocktail when cuddled by the romantic old HongKong music. 
DSC_0316
I am crazy about ducks, Peking style roasted duck or HongKong styled BBQ duck are taken on a daily basis. I have not had much Malaysian since I am trying to take as much different Korean or Chinese as I can. While “the Duck Secret” is a first, it is lightly sour ( from marinated vegetables, Chinese people call them Sauerkraut / sour cabbage ) it is not that sour like Thai green curry or Korean BBQ pickled entrees, it is really lovely and softie, mixed with the richness and freshness of duck and tamarind infused broth, they come together cuddle my tongue yet attack my mouth, just copying all the actions this romantic place was doing to me, the whole night.

CHEAP FASHION SHOPPING

May 5, 2014
style-steals-top-bannerBY8P0056.450x675
style-steals-top-banner


Some argues it is all about those manly casual trainers, others insists it is all about the colourful tweed coats. In my very personal opinion, sneakers are expressing the casualty about this winter collection and coats are the still most important pieces for our winter wardrobes.  Karl is presenting everything all together from this collection as a “concept” — art pop. Fashion is so consumerism nowadays. You may shop it, everybody may have a chance, even the ones not used to afford. I was just looking for a cropped top with high neck collar, and here it is, at CHANEL supermarket. 

Every outfits from the runway is designed for the “pop-art” concept and for the CHANEL supermarket — Imagine a modern parisian girl walked in on a ordinary paris cold winter day for grocery shopping, maybe after jogging ?

SPORTY : 
The trainers and sporty bodysuits. ( No Stilettos ?)
The trainers are featured with oversized sides ( manly) to give a more relaxed style so match the whole concept of “grocery shopping”or “after gym” shopping WITH A CHANEL-ed STYLEEven some of classy pantsuits are included, they definitely are out of the spotlights of this season.

The COATS and BODYSUITS.
Fastened sleeves, either colourful or glittering, or dark colours but with complicated making and material. The cuttings are mostly featured with really really really skinny waists, loosed / puffed shoulders and wide legged pants. 

 feminine – knitted pink
or masculinity – plastic or foil cool bag looked silver metallic oversized coats


So what will Karl do this season? 
Is he trying to talk to the younger generations???  
“Hey! you can wear CHANEL (now eventually), so go have a run along the river then do some supermarket grocery shopping with these trendy but expensive labels), they are “comfy” and stylish. Look at all these colours and modern cuttings included in this FALL ( YES!! FALLLLLLL!!!! FALLLL????  Like those falls we wore dark colours???? ) collection. 



While, on the another side, CHANEL has always been CHANEL (so far).  We cant judge it from surfaces ( the runway pics or vidz). Go to have a look at how they are made (if you really have that priceless opportunity) or even just touch your BFF’s 2.55, you will know every corner, every piece, even just the lining of a cropped turtle neck from this season is involved with parisian artists talents and the best craftsmanships.

So being very different from CHANEL FALL 2014 RTW collection, Lady Melbourne and I combined a “boyish” tweed flap bag, a velvet flap bag with a extremely feminine outfit — vintage satin dress in light and creamy pink and blood deep red suede peep-toe heels.  ( Keep an eye for our coming masculine looked outfit with these boyish bags to compare. )

So would you like to copy the style or do you want to OWN the quality ?
If you got something similar, you copied the style.
 If you put something very original and created them yourself, you CREATE your own style.
is COPY very hurtful here ? how about we use STEAL ?  

I am so glad that eventually I can / I got time to work with Lady Melbourne. It has been such a long time (at least a year) since we discussed and planned to do fashion and stylists together. We have lots lots more coming soon collabs since Lady Melbourne really is one of the not many full time fashion carriers I know and we have so much in common both in fashion and in our personal lives.  We both have reasonable wardrobes — my shop and her wardrobe wardrobes. We did not have too much time to prepare for this time since it was right before the Easter holidays and I was in Melbourne only for a short visit. Sp only put whatever were available from some recent fashiondacci stocks and her recent new collections, forgive us if you think they are so wrong and please do comment here so we know 🙂

This kind of collabs between us will happen quite a lot in the future (as I already said), so keep an eye on her website
LadyMelbourne.com.au
or at fashiondacci.com/blog

What do you think about rough metal details plus soft feminine velvet ? Is that a go ?
Have to say RED shoes are like magic, the power of women just came out of nowhere when the shoes are on.

Assembly of February 1955

May 5, 2014

Chanel-Classic-Flap-Bag
style-steals-top-banner

I read this one article long time ago regarding designer handbags assembly hours and compared with their prices. For most designer handbags, the more hours they took to make, the higher the prices would be for. I could not find the article anymore, if you happen to know about it, please let every know.

Nowadays there are many people are crazy about “overpriced” designer handbags and I “was” one of them. The differences between “crazy” and “truly know” about these bags are among the lost article I mentioned above. ( LOL )
I remembered my first “baaaag” is LOUIS VUITTON backpack, it’s second hand and its overly used. Cost only $200 to buy off a friend. I can not comment on it too much  due to its tiny size, it is useless to me, but the old look of the tanned honey leather straps and monograms are timeless, classy, and easy make a statement with almost any outfit. 
Later I got my all time favourite LOUIS VUITTON “carryall” shoulder bag. They last forever!  I did not know the monogram canvas is “scratch-prove”, that is one of the many proofs to call we-people blindly crazy about designer labels and bags. 

So, sooooo many questions to ask about designer bags. 
How many hours does it really take to finish making a CHANEL 2.55 and all other designer bags? 
How many lambskins does it cost ?
How many metal pieces are included ?
How many artists are included for just making one bag?
