[Trends] The Knit.

Time flies and I can't believe we are approaching the end of the year. again.  Although we don't get really cold here in Hong Kong yet, I start hunting for the winter clothes so I can be more prepared for the coming cold weather :)  (who knows when exactly will the weather get REAL cold?)

And in terms of winter clothes, there is one thing that I love the most - and can keep me warm  -the knit

I am crazily in love with knit items that I often get a few items per fall/ winter since that is almost everything I wear during Winter.

This season we can see a lot more variation in knitwear, apart from what people often perceive as good old dull sweaters, a lot of elements from last season were put into knitwear design this winter.  Patterns, sequins, animal prints, you can find all these essences in knitwear these season.

Throughout the past few weeks, I have been browsing online for winter outfit inspirations and I would like to share some items with you guys on some items that I like:

1.  Sweater

I love the design/ pattern of these Sweaters, and i particular like this sweater from Markus Lupfer where the sequin clutch is actually attached to the sweater, isn't it cute?  Also the Green kitten sweater by Sonie Rykiel is adorable too :)  The green sweater can furnish your look in the winter, without looking clumsy and dull with monotone.

2.  Cardigan

I love drape cardigan!  Although they are good for Autumn only, and not really suitable for really cold weather.  I really do love the loose and asymmetry design of them 

3.  Knit Skirt
Basing on last Winter, I am planing to get a knit skirt (or a knit shorts) since I am kind of a Skirt/ dress girl that I would totally prefer dress than pants, and a knit bottom may come in handy for me.  They look warm and very comfy as well as being stylish at the same time :)

Wow I am stunned by the different varieties of knitwear this season, doing this post has actually increase the number of items in my wishlist!  Speaking of which, I have been browsing Gmarket lately and there are just so many on-trend items that I wanna share with you guys!  Up next I will write a post on must-get items for Winter at Gmarket!
Stay tuned! : )

[Daily Outfit] (55) The Military Shirt

As share before, the military trend is coming back this season and you can see them everywhere - from high fashion brands to fast fashion brand, with different types of appeals

I got this Military Shirt from Zara a month ago and found it quite easy to match with different types of outfit for different occasion, it can established a more stylish style as well as a cutie feminine style depending on what you match with the shirt.

就像前幾個post時分享過, 這個秋冬將會是軍裝/迷彩pattern的世界.  所以在不論是高級時品牌或是一般大眾喜愛的fash fashion的連鎖時裝店, 都不乏看到他們的縱影

而我也不甘後人去趕上這趟潮流熱,於上個月到Zara購了以下這件襯衣.  發現其實也蠻好配搭的, 就是不同類型的衣服也可配在一起也不覺突兀,就說是一件頗百搭的外套吧. 我試了較型格的配搭和比較girly的衣服也可以平均得到

Today I have brought my floral one piece together with this shirt and try to dress down the masculinity and to become more girly, more of my usual style.  I could see a lot of possibilities with this shirt : could do a bit of layering when the weather gets cooler or to match this with boots or flats; lace dress or chiffon too :)

這天我就嘗試了把這件陽剛味重的外套配上碎花裙子和手拿包, 看上去也不賴, 而且碎花裙子就看起來dress down了外套的型格感覺.

PS. Please forgive me for this poor messy background of my room as the light bulb of my doorway wasn't working so I have to move to my room to take the photos :P

[Style] Hiding under Camouflage

Many of you may have noticed, lots of trend reports have already revealed the coming season will be filled with cami and camouflage.  This Camouflage Army Jacket may give an impression of being masculine but we could turn this outfit to a stylish and chic one by matching the jacket with these items:

- My previous post has mentioned that lace items are still going to rock this season, this madwell lace dress would kind of balance off the camouflage jacket.
- Chelsea boots: I am dying to get a pair for the winter and wait to shop around for a nice new pair or Chelsea boots
- The little details of proenza shouler satchel goes along with the military jacket and bringing a bit of rocker style to it
- The MBMJ bagle creates a final touch and to complete this set of chic outfit!

Hope you guys like this kind of style setting post as this is my first time in trying to illustrate an outfit rather than putting on one :)
