LOTD with Looklet - 3

Here's something up for a not so good looking Wednesday:

I did this look for Monday but I've been busy packing stuff into my luggie the past few days, thus I can only post it for the look of Wednesday.
I'm kinda stuck as to what to wear over in the extremely burning Bangkok.
Definitely no reds nor yellows.
Cool white will be good to reflect off those rays, but I'm running low on white stuff (I'm more of a black person cos it makes me look slimmer, heh).
Should I stick with sun dresses or cool cotton rompers or just plain ol' shorts n tees.
Footwear has been settled - I shall survive my entire trip with my good and survived-angkor-wat-haviannas sandals.
Tell me what shall I wear, and also not to overload my luggie (I'm soooo glad I can check in my luggie this time).

Another mission of this trip, other than to sink into the soft beds of sticky rice and mango, is to stock up on my shop's inventory.
Yes, you've heard me right, MY SHOP. =)
I don't really want to jump on those short-term-money-making bandwagon but I really do like the idea of selling something to everyone online.
Of course, I'm not looking at those cheap cotton flimsy stuff you can get down the streets of Bugis Village at 10 bucks.
I'm really into bringing in the "Artistry" styled clothes.
Something along the lines of designer-chic, structured basics stuff.
Oh yes, I'm quite excited, cos it's not limited to clothes only, there will be (hopefully enough money for) other stuff like accessories and even furnitures! =D
Ok, basically, the direction for my shop is: To bring pretty stuff nearer to you, in bids to help you create a better and beautiful environment, something along that line.
If this really takes off (I'm keeping my fingers crossed), we will prolly take off to more places to find and bring back more "Artistry"-styled stuff.
It's like.. not so much of the returns but more of the process - of doing something I like (something I learnt from Glee).
Like what I had mentioned, I don't expect much returns from this little shop but I really do hope that it will bring me nearer to my goal of having a real, physical shop or heaven-on-earth as I'd call it, to get me off from this world. =)

Anyone as excited as me yet?

Fashion Browsing - Luella Bartley

Was browsing through some style magazines and I came across the works of this English designer - Luella Dayrell Bartley.
Her recent runway show was attractive, in fact, impressive to me.

So pretty!
In fact, all of the dresses are something I'd wear!
What think you?

LOTD with Looklet - 2

Told you I'm hooked with creating my favourite look of the day with this website. =)
And since it's FRIDAY today, I've created 2 pieces which I feel are just right for Fridays.

1. TGIF

I'm not too sure why the portrait view isn't saved properly.
Anyhoos, the main focus for this image has to be the black balls around the model's neck.
Lovely piece!
This look can be worn if you are some high ranking personnel in the office, and if you might have some casual meetings with your clients or something.
I actually like the top very much cos it is classy infront, and bringing sexy back from behind.
And those shoes......
I wished I owned them!

2. It's Party Time!

I was actually thinking of an exclusive YSL fashion show at the top of the roof when I did this look, thus the chic getup for some after party drinks.
This jumpsuit/playsuit is quite versatile - just throw on a structured jacket in the office if there are meetings, and switch it to a super chic Kenzo scarf, stack on all your chunky bracelets and rings before you hit the dancefloor.
And if it is indeed an exclusive YSL party, I'm sure all attention will be on the gorgeous YSL belt across the waist.

What is your look for a rockin' Friday? =)

LOTD with Looklet - 1

To make up for not posting anything yesterday, I am sooooo eager to do up 2 posts today!
First up, I found this lookbook website by accident and got hooked on it fast!
I was playing with it whole morning to come up with 3 different looks.
It's very addictive, some sort of "paper doll" which we used to play when we were younger, but it's up online, everything with a click of the mouse.
Everything is very customized: from the model, to the dresses, to the accessories and even the background, and the mode of shot.
I love =)
So, the first look I did was the Midsummer Night's Dream look:

I was very attracted to the tulle dress, and I decided to do away with the very white and fairytale background.
And I've decided to put the model into a glass ball, added some sparkles and it is still very dreamy, but dark.

2nd look of the day: Smarty Psychedelic (also known as the look I love most)

This look is very me, and something I would gladly wear everyday.
It's a wee bit inspired by Tsumori Chisato style, or rather, the closest I can get to her style.
Slouchy top with shorts and a pair of wedges.
So pretty, especially the colours!
Oh yes, did I mention, this look is also a tribute to my all-time favourite designer - Marc Jacobs (other than Tsumori Chisato, heh).
Everything in the look (shorts, wedges, accessories) except the top was from Marc Jacobs.
The bright top was from Miss Sixty.
Now, only if I have the moolahs in real-life to wear this look!

Last look of the day: Leaving on a Jetplane

This will be my best suit up in the skies.
So comfy, with a throwover, a mini top over a plain tank, soft jeans, and super comfy melissa jelly pumps.
I'd prolly carry a hobo bag with me but this yellow Marc Jacobs is good enough.
Grab a pair of sunnies and straighten my hair into a sleek pony tail.
I guess I'm all set for a wonderful holiday ahead! =D

This website is truly inspiring.
Get looklet now!

Tsumori Chisato

The first fashion review has got to belong to my all-time favourite designer, Tsumori Chisato.
I first knew her when I was studying design and was peeking through various websites when I came across her name.
I remembered during an entrance interview, I had to name 3 of my favourite designers, and the first one came Tsumori Chisato, then her mentor - Issey Miyake, and Andy Warhol came last.
However, I did not really know or had I intended to study her designs further.
Until I visited Japan, and through a very fashionable friend, I fell in love with her loud and extremely colourful bohemian cuteness prints.
The first item I had gotten from the Gotemba outlet was a very very pretty grey leather patented wallet.
It was shaped like a typical CDG wallet, though very plain, screamed subtle cuteness with pink stitchings along its sides.

The second item was another PRETTY wallet, this time around, from Hong Kong.
The boutiques can be found in IFC Mall, Silver Chord, I.T. and City Gate.

The wallet is black based, with gold glitters and it had stars and moon, very very pretty.
Somthing like this:

Alongside, the BF had gotten me a classic leather hobo handbag.
This bag was love at first side - the cat head zipper, the cutesy polka dotted inner lining, and the very lux felt-leather exterior.
I just knew I had to get this, the interior something similar to the photo:

And then the BF was feeling very generous, and I was feeling very pampered, he got me another slouchy hobo bag!
I was totally in heaven cos both bags are super pretty.
The satin was very soft and it had polka dots all over, with some dots randomly displayed as stars and cat faces.
Totally me, somthing like this, but of cos, bigger and slouchier:

And to celebrate the Copenhagen Fashion Week, Normann Copenhagen Flagship Store have been transformed into a Tsumori Chisato pop-up shop with the Spring/summer collection as well as several unique “not for sale” show pieces. They are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty!
