[Trends] Christmas is around so it is the time to look glamourous!

As you may notice, it is approaching to the end of November, in a sense meaning that Christmas is on its way!  A big Hurray!  My favourite time of the year!  And at the same time, meaning a lot of partying and evening out are happening.  On last week's net-a-porter, it is all about the PARTY issue!  Sequins, Glitter, Feathers!  Here ya go!  Not wanting to look like ths rest of the crowd?  One of key point to stand out is to "think out of the box".  How to look glamourous when wearing something special?  The editor has pointed on several key issues in rocking the party:
- Ankle boots
- Shirt + Sequined pants
- Showing off your shoulder
- Silk Scarf

Therefore, here comes my selections of the party must-wear (I have focused on ASOS this time since this is so my favourite recently: free shipping, on-going sale...it is just so tempting!):

1. Sequins!  Christmas is such a wonderful time to wear sequins and people would not think you are over-dressed for the event.  Also, especially when you are partying and you are so going to stand out from the crowd as you will be literally shinning from those reflection from sequins.

2.  Party Dress
If you are not exactly a fan of sequin, you could try buy getting a special designed party dress.  I am completely thrilled when I see these two dresses.  Remember the movie Black Swan?  This is such a hit.  I have read from the news last month that it is the number one costume for Halloween 2011.  And let's make it through Christmas by getting a fluffy white swan look alike party dress, or a trendy black dress with chiffron see-through long dress

3.  Clutch
You must have something to hold your phone or some money so you can go home after partying or at least get a taxi.  And on this festive season and when social media is a tool for you to show how popular you are (yes iphone upload on facebook), clutch is just about right to hold your essentials.  These clutches below can match with different style of your outfit and my favourite one is the one on bottom right corner.  This wooden clutch is so my style and chic, which can even match my daily outfit too...(oh maybe i should get it?)


4.  Shoes
I know Flats are good for our body and comfy but when it comes to partying, who cares about comfortness?  We are definitely getting a pair of high heels which can help shaping our body.  But dont worry girls, Platform Shoes is our new bff, we can look tall, with beautiful curves and still look stunning.  Also, as mentioned above, ankle boot is a hit, so let see what I picked:




5.  Accessories
How can you not complete your outfit by adding a final touch - Accessories.  Every accessories count.  You would look too blunt if you have got the perfect dress, perfect clutch/ shoes but just missing a piece of jewelry!  To furnish your look, add (a) final piece of jewelry to rock your outfit and be absolutely fabulous.

By the way, there is a sale at ASOS where every Winter Items are at 30% off and all Party Items 25%!!  So...act fast!  Too bad that I have already got myself a pair of ankle boot last week...otherwise I could really make use of the sale this week.

Anyway, do more Christmas Shopping!

[Shopping] 秋冬淘. 鞋子

雖然這幾天的天氣都是大概是二十多度
但已經是十一月的中旬
對於怕熱的我來說, 真是只是夏未
不過我已然急不及待陸續購入秋冬的衣.褲.鞋.襪
上一篇已說過秋冬的襪 (絲襪)
這篇就說說秋冬.鞋了
(也就是說, 這個系列會一直沒完沒了, 還有衣, 褲要分享)

這兩雙鞋都是在淘寶入手的
說起第一雙, 我可是從夏開始想買白色牛皮moccasins
一直沒有入手, 直到現在天氣開始轉冷
最後入手的是麂皮的moccasins
想不到這雙的品質真的很好
首先, 附上原裝盒子一個
不是普通的軟軟的盒子, 而是有點厚度和看起來蠻製作認真的一個鞋盒 (原單GO!)

Minnetonka Moccasins
還有!這個鞋盒能頂住快遞的煎熬令雙鞋完好無缺
真的是大加分!
說說這雙moccasins吧, 從相片都看得到質素什佳
皮很軟, 齊標, 造工精美
鞋頭的車線也是很工整的
蝴蝶結也綁得很整齊對稱

看看穿搭照吧
輕鬆地營造假日的causal look
普通的一件白色雪紡tee, 加上點點裙褲
加上一個紅色小包
不必帶太多東西的輕鬆假日look便完成了
這雙鞋配搭長褲一樣沒有問題


淘寶軍靴
這雙運靴是在ES版被燒到的
確實不是我平常會穿的style
不過嘗試一下也不壞
況且這一雙很便宜
就當作是一個trial run吧
而至於配搭方面
嘗試了一個sweet rocker的style
看起來pose有點奇怪?
但想不到怎去表達sweet rocker的氣氛
不得不佩服模特兒的自然/ 多變性
 


而至於配搭方面 
嘗試了一個sweet rocker的style 酒紅色(burgundy)的連身裙 
看起來pose有點奇怪? 
但想不到怎去表達sweet rocker的氣氛 
不得不佩服模特兒的自然/ 多變性

[Shopping] Sogo Thankful Week Picks

又到了半年一度的Sogo感謝週
為了這次的thankful week, 我都省吃儉用了一陣子
務求當天可以來個瘋狂大購物
哈哈說笑而己, 我還要來個聖誕大購物呢 (誤!)
我是第三天 (星期日) 才和朋友去的
當日人山人海真的擠得水洩不通
真的是很難在接觸到櫃面去買東西的
所以真的不是買了很多...
而且今年的衣服真的不太吸引所以只是買了一些週邊小物和化妝品
我想我這幾天會再去一遍吧
還想多買一盒two-way cake (殘念...)


今年戰利品如下.....



登登登登....




今年開始喜歡上穿日本絲襪
以往穿的都是在旺中渣甸坊買的20蚊絲襪
但由於品質普普而且即管本人不是170厘米的高妹但還是拉不到兩胯的位置, 常常要在洗手間把絲襪扯上來...真的是好不方便
春天的時候買了一雙之後真的是驚為天人 (我知道我說得很誇張但這是事實!)
因為這是一雙是彈力較強比較緊的絲襪
穿上後會自然會顯得腿比較瘦
感覺上日本的絲襪會比較耐穿
life expectancy會高點
我夢寐以求的顯瘦絲襪啊! ()
而且感謝週期間還有八折!!
真是....此時不買待何年?
於是...買了三雙!




今次其中一個目標是買粉底,可能是信念太強的關係吧...最後買了兩set
超額完成了
第一set是shu uemura的粉底set
內有貨size粉底液一支, 小卸妝油一支和泡沫base一支
泡沫base和粉底液之前也用過
都是好用品來的
感覺上每次感謝週我也會買一set似的....
意料之外是買了這set Coffret D'or的粉底液套裝
是Kanebo家的出品之一
之前並沒有用過的
但聽櫃姐說這支是主打long lasting的
應該適合我這個追求不溶妝的人吧


粉底液套裝還未開封所以心得文要等遲點
但我想敗家一定會比心得文快
所以.....
期待我的part two吧

[Daily Outfit] (37) I love Oxford Shirt!

看一看我的最近的一篇部落已是兩個星期前
近來真的是太忙了
雖然每天都有很用心去搭配上班服和享受週末偶爾dress down的感覺
但不是太提得勁去寫blog
而且這陣子上班真的很忙也蠻大壓力的
希望下下個星期老闆回來後會好點...

前陣子買了件Oxford Shirt
在uniqlo買的我選藍白間條 (粉紅間條不太對我的味...)
而且買的時候已想到可用作搭配的衣服和幾種不同的風格
就是一件未買但也覺得會容易配搭的一件單品

說起Oxford Shirt, 很多人會想起英倫風 (顧名思義從oxford這字看到)
而且來頭也不少

當初是被拿來做牛津大學的學生制服
所以也別稱為牛津布(Oxford Cotton)
後來被廣為流傳成為一般流行服飾就順理成章冠上學院風的封號
Oxford Shirt比傳統襯衫用料更厚實溫暖,而且布料也較挺不易皺,
在有點涼意的秋天會特別受用

這裡展現了兩種不同風格的Oxford Shirt
第一套是上班outfit而第二套是weekend的打扮
簡單來說, 就是一篇一衣兩穿的post啦 XD
{Oxford Shirt : uniqlo // Ribbon Pant : Boutique in Wan Chai // Satchel : Online Shop // Leopard Flats : Gmarket}

這套是有點走英倫風的感覺
把oxford shirt button up再加上絲襪和黑色雪紡短褲
配以黑色豹紋Loafer和棕色復古包
營造出一種隨意的感覺但細看又像有打扮過
而且突顯了季節性的感覺
鞋子和包包都配出了秋冬感
我在gmarket一眼便看中了這雙loafter 感覺簡直就是從Alexa chung鞋櫃裡面拿出來的鞋子似的


{Oxford Shirt : uniqlo // White Tee : Gmarket // Pant : Boutique in Wan Chai // Necklace : G2000 // Sneakers : Keds}

星期六的感覺好像有點悶熱而且我要回家晚餐所以不會在街上留到太晚
所以穿得不是很厚重
這套某程度上看來跟第一套差不多, 但這套把oxford shirt當作是外套
裡面加上了一件普通白tee和一條銅色頸飾還有腳踏一雙keds的sneakers
keds真的是我最喜歡的休閒鞋款之一, 價格親民而且配搭度很高
輕易製造了週末的慵懶自由輕鬆感
頸飾的細節 - 古銅色看起來蠻好搭的
是我近來的最愛
下圖是一張oxford shirt的近鏡, 可以讓大家看看這件材質
