the chunky heel dilemma

ok, when I bought these hot little heels (not quite little, it weighs a tonne), I thought to myself, oh it will go so well with my dresses or skinny jeans! but little did I know, this kind of chunky heel require a good ensemble that is top heavy and bottom light. here are 3 combos that I think works:

1. short potato sack/smock dresses + opaque tights
2. crop quarter sleeve boxy jackets + straight cut dresses with footless tights
3. my new smock style coat (it was on sale, ok?) + opaque tights

ensemble NOT to consider:
any long coats! it looks so silly with coats that sits below the knee, I have tried it and trust me, it looked horrible! lots of it to do with my shortness....sigh

fakes

One day I saw this lady wearing the toy watches in chocolate brown nylon strap with choc brown + gold timer ring, I thought it looked pretty cute! I did something that I never would do in HK is that I went and asked that lady where she got her watch and she told me its a toy watch!

From that day on I really wanted to buy a toy watch but its 1500 for a copy watch and plastic?? When did copies actually cost so much??!!!!?!?!

One night during some annual dinner, each guest at their table will have a table present to bring home and guess what?? I got a copy toy watch!! I dont usually like wearing or using copies (and I dont suggest it at all) but since this was a copy of something who originally copied anyway, I guess I wouldnt mind wearing this copy out!

For those who actually wants to buy a toy watch and hesitating about their price (since its just a copy!) I suggest that they can buy a copy toy watch !!

muse continues....

on the note of fashion muse...
how gorgeous is dita von teese?
she is one of the few "famous people" (right now) that I love, who actually looks great and have a talent in burlesque dance.

you wondered, why would anyone dress like that, only cos she is a star, right?
there's actually a woman who runs a a vintage clothing shop, called Rockit at The Rocks, her name is Pia and I met her at a shoot for work. she said she dresses in 50s style frock everyday. If she wants to dress casual she'd wear high waisted jeans with a cute rodeo shirt. I sometimes see her walking along george street, I just cant take my eyes off her. Her 50s style makeup - va-va-voom red lips and immaculate hair! she is married and has a little boy, and their whole family dresses 50s style, how cool is that?

p.s. I wish I can post some pics of Pia here, but its work related so I cant! sorry! You can follow this link to see what she looks like, but frankly, I don't think this picture does her any justice!

whos your fashion muse?

Has everyone checked out www.whowhatweardaily.com? there has been an article called my fashon muse! Its really amusing and you must read the comments!! hehe girls are just so bitchy!

So anyway whos my fashion muse??

I realise they dont need to be stylish or be a fashionista, its someone who can wear something and just bring out the essense, whatever they are wearing immediately portrays a character (in a good inspirational way of course), a character which you want to be!

As I was lining up to pay for car park I saw this very plain and simple woman dressed in jeans and just a white polo tee, I saw nothing inspirational on her except this links bracelet. The image I got was this girl looks simple yet elegant, smart but yet shes a housewife! Thats exactly how I want to look! Not soon after I got myself a Links bracelet as well!

The bad side of it is that I have been getting links charms as a present for every single whatever day celebration you can think of. Last Christmas I got a toilet bowl, how very romantic!

my bad

This week I have been really bad with the blog ... some how my mind is just blank for ideas, creativity and inspiration. Seems like nothing is interesting enough.

In this situation, its even hard to think of words to write... (you know when you have a word blank, you cant even seem to write a sentence with proper grammar?)

Promise this week I will have lots if my mind have recovered...

her name is jane

JANE (US) is another one of my favourite magazine next to russh.
its got just the right amount of (wearable) fashion, celebrity goss, and everything a girl or a boy need to know. How to change a tyre, girls?

I have to mention, the last image is an article about my french heroine, Charlotte Gainsbourg- actress, model, singer, balenciaga muse – it only comes natural when your mom is the legend behind THE birkin bag, no?
