Her Casual Batik - #365FASHIONSHUFFLE

28 Jan 2011 - 365FASHIONSHUFFLE
I often wear batik in Hong Kong, and I asked a few friends from #365fashionshuffle to wear batik together. This is mine.

It's still a bit cold, so I put on a comfy cotton striped turtleneck tee...
28 Jan 2011 - 365FASHIONSHUFFLE
...with puffy vest on top...

...and wore knee high argyle socks.
28 Jan 2011 - 365FASHIONSHUFFLE
I love this batik dress because it's fits me comfortably, not too fitted, hides my hips very well, it can be cinched at the waist and the puffy sleeves help balancing my huge lower body.

This moccasins had been unworn for quite a while.

His Casual Batik

Casual Batik Chic
I asked SC to join me and wear batik together today. This is what I put together for him. Mix and match of patterns and colors as always...and this is totally unplanned, but his color combo looks good with the color of the surrounding ;)

It's the tiny little details that make a difference...
Anting
Turquoise stud to echo the color of the sneakers.

...and just a little touch of silver to echo the hardware of his man purse.

I love this vintage inspired Mickey Mouse tee, and SC's great buy Zara Man puffy vest, it was on crazy sale!

Vintage Dress & Men Cardigan - #365FASHIONSHUFFLE

27 Jan 2011 - Jacketed - 365FASHIONSHUFFLE
Today’s outfit ;)
Another very bad hair day, I had to secure my fringe with a pin… 


I fancied wearing a vintage dress today despite the cold, so I put on SC’s men’s cardigan under the jacket to keep myself warm.

Marcus' New Playmat

Marcus & New Playmat
We bought a playmat for Marcus.
It's made in Korea, it has double "face", alphabet on one side, and numbers on the other.
Adorable, comfy, durable, anti-scratch.
It's frigging not-cheap, HK$650 for small size, to fit Hong Kong tiny flat size.

Did he like it?

Hmmm....

Maybe not so much.

Mostly Black & White - #365FASHIONSHUFFLE

IMG_0693
Today, I wear mostly neutrals again.
Quite a change for my normally always-colorful-pattern-mix-maniac self.
Even so, I had to throw in a splash of color (the jacket) ^_*
One day, I'll do all black.
I promise.
One day.

What's underneath the jacket?
IMG_0697
Different textures of black and some white, super frilly, super girly.

Spring and summer will soon be here and I won't be able to wear these furry leg warmers anymore...

Marcus' New Kicks from Mothercare Sale

Marcus' New Kicks
What a gorgeous pair.
I know he's gonna grow out of it so fast, but I couldn't help it ;)
Love the herringbone pattern, love the red accents, love the HK$62.50 price tag too!

Super Bad Hair Day - #365FASHIONSHUFFLE

It's Monday.
It's cold.
It's so hard to get out of bed!
24 Jan 2011 - 365FASHIONSHUFFLE
...and my hair, especially the fringe, is driving me crazy!
It pissed me off so much, I decided to just put on a hair band to get rid of them.
Something red to cheer this gloomy Monday up.

What's under the mostly black boring work ensemble?
24 Jan 2011 - 365FASHIONSHUFFLE
Some blues and some reds.

The highlight of my outfit today?
24 Jan 2011 - 365FASHIONSHUFFLE
This pair of Chinese shoes from some random souvenir shop in Central, I bought them for just HK$59 a pair!

You like?

Hope you Monday is better than mine! ;)
PS. I forgot to define my brows. I really should've! T_T

Uniqlo Fleece Shirt & Furry Leg Warmer - #365FASHIONSHUFFLE

22 Jan 2011 - #365FASHIONSHUFFLE
Wore this ensemble to lunch today...quite a mistake. Despite looking really warm, the leg warmer isn't exactly warm. Oppps.

The Uniqlo fleece shirt is borrowed from SC, it's really comfy and the pattern is really now ;)

SC's Military Jacket for Casual Friday

Military Jacket
Photoshoot FAIL.
Couldn't even see the face, not in artistic way.
I love the background though...it's a lane somewhere in Admiralty.

Military Jacket
Now that's better.

Thank God SC is not wearing one of his Monster Hunter Uniqlo tees again today.
He vowed to wear them the whole year, and trust me, he almost did, if it wasn't for work.

Today he wore his plaid shirt with this military inspired jacket we bought for only for HK$100something from  i.t. outlet, my skinny jeans (which is now has become more of his jeans than mine, as he's always wearing them) and his favorite black boots.

Obviously, we don't iron our clothes.
Please excuse us.

This white padded jacket...is from Uright.
The company has closed down...does that make this jacket kinda...collectible? ^_^'

21 Jan 2011 - 375FASHIONSHUFFLE
I am wearing SC's plaid Uniqlo shirt, but it wasn't warm enough, so I threw an extra cardi...and some pops of yellow.
