Taipei; From The Streets; Warmly Bundled Up With Colours!

So, these are probably the last few Streetshots which I've got from Taipei; which I love just as much!

LOVE this couple! And how everything they had on gave out such a groovy hip hop vibe. Although I'm not much of a sneakers girl, I love Evon's gold graffiti smeared sneakers! (And her hair!)

Of course! I love both their eye catching bags! And EVERYONE knows that the "IT" bags of this season should have as many colour and prints and they deem fit!

And girlfriends out there! Who LOVE to be all matchy matchy with their beau; Take a clue from Evon & Benji; They've gone with the common theme of AMERICANA! And it's so FAB! With his cap and her gorgeous bag!

IT'S SO! NON CHEESY! IT'S PERFECT!

And this gorgeous girl here; I love Saiya's knit dress ( + the length of those sleeves) And that LOVELY shade of green here! Which complimented her hair colour!

And although you guys can't really see in this picture; She had on a pair of TOTALLY cute fringe moccasins boots which she'd tucked her grey skinnies in!

I can never get enough of Taipei! And the people there!

And RIGHT NOW! I'm actually waiting for news of the interview which I had done over the phone with Holiday Inn East Taipei! I'm hoping to secure a 6months internship at their hotel! AND FINGERS CROSSED! I HOPE; SO SO HOPE! That I could get in there!

From Campus; All That Glitters! + TAGS!

Our campus was having an Open House event; and I was at my Tourism booth; when I saw Liyana in her gorgeous, gorgeous dress!



Decided to approach her; and her friends egged her on, getting her to pose for a picture(: It was so cute!

Loved her guts! For wearing such an awesome party frock out; AND ONE WHICH GLITTERS! At that! I especially love the netting at the hem of her dress; and

OF COURSE!

Those Luella Bartley-esque tiers!

**

Went home in the evening; when I saw this guy, who was standing right beside me!

I saw his SHOES; mid yawn, and I jammed my mouth tight!!



SEQUINS! THESE ARE GENUINE SEQUINS!

As the bus was really crowded and I couldnt get a decent picture, I had to take a SNEAKSHOT again! HAHA; Something which I'm not very proud of; But I HAD to do it!

It's one of the fabbest shoes I've ever seen:D:D

Whoever Knew FCUK & Audrey H. Go Together?!

Audrey Hepburn's outfits in her movies NEVER fail to inspire me;





A couple of days ago, while shopping at FCUK, I came across a front pleated shirt which reminded me so much of what Holly Golightly (Breakfast At Tiffany's!) wore in that particular scene when she climbed out of bed to open the door for Fred;

I don't normally go for tops which button all the way up but I just fell in love with how simple and chic this white, pleated buttoned up top is!



Wore it as a lucky outfit for my 1st day at school and I dragged my brother off to snap some pictures after dinner; and he took me to this nearby high rise estate;
(According to Jason, you can take great pictures at the void deck! Well, YOU be the judge! LOL)






Wearing;
Leopard Scarf (Forgot Where I Got It From)
FCUK Skinnies
Starry Studded Flats; Got it from Taipei's Shilin Night Market
MY CHRISTMAS PRESSIE FROM MOM & DAD!
Prada Vernice Tote






The leopard prints scarf was a last minute addition to jazz up the outfit;
And I love how different the top looks; with or without it!



AND I LOVE MY SHOES!

OH! Before I forget, JESS From Clothes Captioned did a little review about my blog; And I was really touched by the really postive and lovely comments!

For those of you who LOVE LOVE vintage clothes that are pretty much a steal! DO go have a look at her website!


Okay, that's all I have for now; COMING RIGHT UP!
TAGS + TAIPEI, FROM THE STREETS!

The Photoshoot Where We (TRIED TO) Reenact Gucci F/W 08:D

Hey Darlings(:

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Have been busy the past few days; NOT with partying, but rather, was rushing for my law project)): Geez; can you imagine?! DOING THAT; during the new year?)):


ANYWAY!

Remember how my friend, Jeslin got me to help her for her 500pictures photoshoot? Here are some of the pictures in another segment;

She loved this particular Promod dress of mine; which some of you may remember when I did this "Gucci- Inspired" post(:

Hence,




A close up of the BEST sombre look I could manage:D
It was actually coloured; for those of you who had read this post earlier on; you would have seen the original; with my super horrid dark circles; I took a chance and fiddled with it; to get this saturated; super bright look; to eliminate them; and to create a different look!

The field...



Jeslin & I love this best!
Everything is just fab! The light, composition and dynamics!

For those of you, who were asking to see the laced up Oxford wedges which I wore previously, these grey pair which is featured above, were the ones!

I got my friend to help me get it from H&M Hong Kong((:

And I love my baby to bits!

OKAY, I'll end of for now! I have got a 1000 word report to do which isn't THAT horrid; but it comes with TONS of research involved:S

WISH ME LUCK DARLING!
Have a HAPPY WEEKEND!

Taipei; From The Streets; 3 BFFS, 3 Eclectic Individualists

Thought I'd post up more pictures from Taipei(:

At first, I was only thinking of snapping a picture of dear Sunday ( on the Left); She was selling me the exact paisley dress that she had on; which reminded me so much of those from Gucci's F/W 08 campaign; but she lent an edgier feel to the entire look!

As I was paying for my dress (TWD$330, which were about USD$10!), I saw Sunday's friends/ business partners who were coming out from the back room!

I was gravitating towards Ken's grungy look; ESPECIALLY his bleached splotted jeans; which were tucked into a pair of motorcycle boots and I was in love with Peggy's warm knitted dress which reminded me so much of Christmas! With the cute maple leaves prints(:

I've seen SO SO MANY of those dresses and I WISH I could buy one home and wear it without sweating like a horse!

To the majority of you who are from the Northern Hemisphere; just KNOW that I'm so so envious of you!

ANYWAY;
Many of you are so in love with the gorgeous Chanel Christmas tree; and since it's Christmas today; I have another one for all of you to fall in love with!

I WAS FLOORED WHEN I SAW THIS TIFFANY & CO. TREE!

It's HUGE-R than Chanel's and the array of Tiffany's robin blue gift boxes just blew me away!
I only wish I could see it during nightfall; It's gna be so so gorgeous!

Have a Blessed Christmas My Dear Blogettes((:

Taipei; From The Streets; Mostly Black + A Dreary (SO NOT!) Tree

CHRISTMAS IS ROUND THE CORNER!

Unless you live in a cave; or if you're a hermit who rarely ventures out; a trip down town would TELL you that it's Christmas! I'm not talking about the gorgeous Fairy lights or the decorations BUT the CROWD!

OMG! To think that we live in the 21st Century where Online Shopping is the norm; I guess, we're all a stickler for traditions; going through the routine of getting; "hand picked" gifts for our loved ones...

You guys would probably know my LOVE for Chanel; So imagine how I felt when I saw this tree right in front of me when I was shopping at Sogo, in Taipei!



A CHANEL CHRISTMAS TREE OF ALL THINGS!

Maybe we shall have a very Chanel Christmas eh? HAHA
(A girl can always dream:D)



That night; while shopping around; I saw this guy; who was decked in black too! Just like my gorgeous Christmas tree; And I couldn't resist; stopping him to snap a picture!

I love his preppy blazer and ESPECIALLY his jeans! They were more of a gunmetal grey; but it's totally rock & roll; and that striped scarf just completes the outfit!

**

This trip to Taipei, I honestly, almost did get whiplash; looking at uber stylish fashionistas on the streets! There are tons of them! And their style varies from person to person! Everyone was so much of an individualist; I wished I've got more courage to step foward or run after them (some of the walk REAL fast!) to get a picture!

I've got a couple more on my desktop and I'll post them up soon! In the meanwhile, let's drink hot cocoa, listen to Christmas carols and bask in the Christmas spirit!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
