The Blazers of 3.1 Phillip Lim

 

When I saw these blazers in the clip of 3.1 Phillip Lim, A/W 2010, on that VideoFashion show on tv two weeks ago, I was like "omfg" (literally) at the pale gery blue blazer and the light beige blazer. So that's where those colors came from! Because all over the boutiques in Hong Kong are this lose fit short shorts like the one matched with the blue blazer in the 3.1 Phillip Lim show. And the color combinations of blazers and shorts are all pale grey blues, greens, and beige. And it's quite dreamy for summer dressing. Plus, that blazer's gonna be very handy for autumn and those over-air conditioned lecture theatres that I'll be sitting in for hours.

Fashion week's starting to roll! I can't wait to see what else Phillip Lim has to show to the world this time in his Spring and Summer 2011 collection :)

the style look book: neon nights at night

Helloooo :) I matched this out for some shopping and dinner with my friend C. When she first saw my outfit, she was like “it’s so cool!” hahah, I'm not sure exactly what it implies but it’s was a fun outfit for the city. Same coat as the previous style look book post. And like I said I would, I wore my striped top which is actually a long sleeve blue and white striped cut off that I matched with a black tank top with sequins on the bottom. The jeans are jean leggings from Uni Qlo and the shoes are patent black oxford flats (love them soooo much, so comfy) During our shopping trip, I kept explaining to my friend how oxford flats match jeans, skirts, and dresses and how they’re some of my favorite shoes ever.

We first went to the LySee mall (its around the corner on Granville Road). Then we went to a new mall called DNA Galleria, where it’s filled with random and DIY stores with everything from clothes to gifts. And the fun part is all the interior decorations and designs (like the one I’m standing in front of). There were cashier counters that looked like a scene right out of Snow White, a skull, a Transformer-like space craft. There was even this Thriller themed corner, which was creepy and gave me the chills, but it's actually to commemorate Michael Jackson. There were also one of my favorite DIY stores, Woodland, and a shop with filled with really uniquely designed products.

C started getting hungry, so we headed over to California Pizza Kitchen at Harbour City. We had a Greek pizza and chips. Greek Pizza because C. said she wanted a pizza with EVERYTHING on it. On the menu it said that there would be "tomatoes, celery, peppers, chicken, etc..." but when we ate the pizza, it resembled salad plus pizza crust. Nonetheless, we sat at the bar table and had the view of Victoria Harbour as we ate. :)

Then I took C. to my favorite furniture store in the city (although I really don't know that many). It's right at the very end of LCX and they bring in new furniture every few months. This time around, I discovered that they now have my favorite foldable movie cinema chair. I always though I'd have to ransack a cinema for one. It turns out all I'll need is 2950 HKD (bite me.). I guess it'll stay on my wishlist for now.

it's time to get back to my readings and essays >.< exams in less than a month...

the style look book: an alternative jacket

 

Hello! Delilah here! :) So here's my first style/outfit look book post. I actually posted it on my chictopia account first. I got really hyped about this outfit, because it's very cool black, city-look but at the same time, it's not the ordinary black, punk, rocker style.  I liked the black motorcycle jacket style but it was a little too much when I saw it all over the place. So when I came across this fitted plaid one, I had to get it. It’s from b +ab, a store in Hong Kong, along with all the other I.T. stores. It’s really well fitted and I love plaid things with a special twist. Definitely one of my best purchases this winter.

This outfit consists of...

b + ab jeans plaid blue/purple/black fitted jacket (it also has a puffy princess shoulders)

Energie black long sleeve top

Black studded pencil skirt from a random boutique

Black leggings

Doc Marten boots

The colors are different on the first pic because I tweaked it a little. The weather in Hong Kong has been terrible the past few days (supposedly the most polluted in the year) and I couldn't get any sunlight! And I took the pictures on automatic timer on my Canon IXUS, so whenever the camera wasn't stable, there would be too much light exposure and I'd getting a photo like the one below.

 

all for now. :)
