Blanketed in Pink

Hi Dahlings,

        As the temperature gets chillier again in Hong Kong, I've been dreaming of the cliche scenery as the colder weather takes effect. Imagine a warm, cozy ambience, fragrant candles burning, hot chocolate by the fire, a book in hand and in comfortable pajamas wrapped in soft fluffy blankets on the sofa at home.

       But, alas, that cannot happen too easily. When you're in a fast-paced city that demands to be alive and bustling with working people and students, there isn't a lot of time for my daydream to materialize. So, I've decided to bring it with me instead. For my cliche scenery "on-the-go", I brought a book in my bag for my commute, a hot chocolate to go whilst wearing a warm comfortable turtleneck and soft socks that feel as comfortable as my pajamas. To top things off, I blanketed myself in my pink trench coat. And voila, I've turned my daydream into reality.

        And as Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I think the outfit fits perfectly with the holiday's theme. With my cup of hot chocolate raised high, here's hoping that you all have a Valentine's day as warm as I'm feeling in this outfit or at the very least, without sounding corny, show yourself some love and turn your daydreams into reality.

Fashion Confession #2: Hanging with a Pin-Up Girl

      Hello again dahlings!:)

      Firstly, please excuse the awful pun in my title!xD ahaha

      If you already know me in real life, then you must already know how obsessed and how in love I am with old Hollywood bombshells like Audrey Hepburn, Bettie Page and Marilyn Monroe because of the fashion style and makeup looks they had in the 50s. I even had "Old Hollywood/The Oscars" as the theme for my 18th birthday party last year.

      For today's look, I decided to channel my inner 50s girl and take on an inspired pin-up girl look. These pictures were my inspiration for the outfit. *Photo taken from Vanity Fair :)

      If I'm being honest, I was quite hesitant to post the pictures of me wearing my outfit because they're a little more provocative than the styles I'm used to. When it comes to showing skin, I'm not so much of a cleavage person.(If it happens to be noticeable, it was never intended!^^") I prefer more subtle patterns such as a low back or tiny side cutouts. Nevertheless, doing a completely inspired outfit hopefully excuses me from this rare display of boobage. Haha! Not that I wouldn't wear it, I would. I'll probably pop on something more conservative when going out but at home, it's pure fun not having any boundaries!

      For this inspired outfit, I wanted to go all the way from hair to makeup as well. So, there I am carrying out my pin-up curls hairstyle.

      I know you can't really tell that my outfit has tiny polka dots all over my two piece suit which is a bummer but it definitely has them!:) 

So, here's me attempting to imitate the girl from one of the inspired picturesxD

And finally, the hair and makeup look!:) I loved Audrey Hepburn's look in breakfast at Tiffany's with her flicked eyeliner, full brows and her "my lips but better" lipstick shade that I decided to recreate it in my own way.

 

What do you guys think?:)
