Dressing up the Japanese style.
P.S. I’ve already cut away most of the entries about food and shopping for my dear SbR readers!!! Will do that after Day Six. HAHA.
A bright and sunny second day! I love dressing up for winter!
P.S. Friends! I know you are all eager to see the pictures of the proposal, but that happened on the forth day. HAHA. Be Patient.
Yes. My mum preferred RED on the second day of CNY too. I had to change my outfit on the eleventh hour.
I bought a perfect black belt for my little white dress but my mum insists that it’s not festive enough and got me to change my belt into a red one. HMPH. She will definitely flip when she sees my black-grey outfit for tomorrow. HAH.
My shopaholic self was in action even during CNY. While waiting for my parents to pray in the temple, I bought a cute pearl bracelet from a street vendor outside. HAH. The lady told me pearl signifies prosperity and fortune, but who cares, I love it because it looks so classy, so Coco Chanel. Hee.
R.I.P. McQueen
I found these precious accessories I once loved while cleaning up my room!
Beautiful Pink Rock Ring.
Random Ring I got from Manila.
Gold Dolphin Earrings which I adore!
Old School White Flower Earrings – a hand-me-down from my mum.
Handmade Dragonfly Earrings I got from Canada
Kangaroo Earrings I got from Australia!
Five Colors Crystal Earrings I got from a street vendor in China!
I also found a nice purple cross which I thought will make a perfect gift for my purple-fanatic friend! She has got a cross from her guy but I am sure she will love this new addition to her purple-family! It’s nothing new or expensive but just thought she will appreciate it better than I do.
In case you’re wondering, these items are not from Tiffany.
It’s a fashion documentary. An invitation to the mystical world of fashion. A documentary decoding the mystery in bringing a Vogue issue to the newsstand.
Anna Wintour’s office is like a wonderland and my dream wardrobe! Anna is like a Pope in Vogue- well respected by fashion followers in America. This documentary brought new perspective to me about Anna Wintour. It seems to me that underneath her strong, cold and glamorous self, she is very much lonely in her big big world. Her siblings find her job amusing while her daughter thinks people who take fashion too seriously are hilarious. Instead of working her ass off for fashion, her daughter would very much prefer to be the one laughing.
Through her body language in the show, she seems very protective of herself (the way she crossed her arms) and the way she speaks of her family, it seems as though she’s taking pity on herself? I don’t know. I guess anyone would appreciate some family support even women who appear strong-willed and all.
In the show, I got to know another strong character – Grace Coddington, Creative Director of American Vogue. Grace is one woman whom I respect after the show. She is strong, stylish, passionate, expressive and very human. It’s a pity that she’s like a shadow in the presence of Anna Wintour.
Are you a Mary-Janes, Stilettoes or Classic Pumps kind of girl? I know for sure, I’m the Peep-toe Shoes kind of girl! HAH. I bet you didn’t know the type of shoes you wear says a lot about your personally! HAHA.
“Peep-toe shoes are synonymous with natural flirts. Subtlety is sexy, but you already knew it! “Wherever you are off to, you usually make a sassy entrance with your shiny open-toe heels that tilt you just a little forward, put an extra zing in your walk, and give onlookers a tiny peek of the toe cleavage.”
A frumpy, depressed woman (Louise Canova) metamorphosized into a confident diva in Tessaro’s novel, thanks to a 40-year-old style manual (A Guide to Elegance by Genevieve Antoine Dariaux) found in a second-hand bookstore. An interesting novel which presented snippets of interesting style tips! I love Tessaro’s classy and witty novel and Madame Dariaux’s timeless style tips that are relevant (and sensible) till this day!
Here are some of my favourite tips featured in the novel!
On Accessories
“Be strict with yourself. Save. Economize on food if you must (believe me, it will do you good!) but not on your handbags or shoes. Refuse to be seduced by anything that isn’t first rate.”
Makeup
“… some beauties are born, most of us are made. Make-up is a kind of cloting for the face, and in the city a woman would no more think of showing herself make-up than she would care to walk down the street completely undressed.”
On Weight
“I recommend that you weigh not just yourself but your priorities as well. After all, God made you the way you are and there is no point fighting nature to the extent that you alienate all your friends and family with endless rules and regulations concerning what you can and cannot eat. Being slender is undoubtedly elegant but neurotic self-obsession is NOT.”
I am so going to get my hands on Madame Dariaux’s style guide!
