S Cawaii – July 2009

photo S Cawaii – July 2009

This is one of my favorite chinese magazines. yeah, i know, i don’t have a clue what’s written here but i still like it.

It’s funny when people always google, what to wear in a certain country. Isn’t it supposed to be a matter of the following:

1. weather

2. occasion

3. what is socially acceptable

4. your style

i mean, are you really going to dress up like everyone else? i’ve tried that before, no matter how you try to blend in, everyone’s different and that’s nothing to be ashamed of…you’re unique and you’re special.

but in case you’re still curious, here in shanghai, i notice a lot of girls wear, light colored tops like creme or off- cwhite. they’re quite trendy compared to other parts of china. i love it that you get to wear whatever you want and you don’t get those stares, if you know what i mean.

well, i picked up pictures from this S Cawaii issue that would in sum up what i’ve been seeing quite often on the streets. although im sure my other friends would say, i don’t wear that! lol.

Vests – a lot of times, i see different versions of vests, whether on t-shirts, or on dress. also they’ve got quite a lot of tailored blazers mixed with denim pants or shorts and t-shirts. but since it’s summer it’s just this vest that’s predominant.

Marc Jacobs Resort Wear 2010

it’s barely the middle of the year and we’re talking about 2010 already? time flies really fast.

I love this collection because it’s cute, fun and everything’s mismatched. I get tired with having to make sure everything goes with which. Sometimes, there’s no discretion as to which one looks good bordering on plain looking.

MakeupForever Aqua Smoky Lash

because it’s summer a lot of products have been waterproofing their best-collections. which makes me think, why didn’t they made it waterproof in the first place anyway?

this is the waterproof version of MUFE’s Smoky Lash. Can’t wait to try this one!

On Designing Clothes

this is a paperclip holder that looks like a bathroom sink. pretty cool right? it’s funny i was just browsing some furniture stuff coz i was planning to redecorate my small flat.

the thing is, it suddenly made me think of clothes. this is probably one of those moments paul smith has been talking about in his book lol. i’ve had that book 5 years ago…and it was only recently that a picture ignited a spark in me to design something.

i kinda miss designing too. inawhile, my time has been mostly spent on blogging coz it was also my dream when i was younger to be a writer. but then i know the designer in me is still here. somehow.

so how about you? what inspires you?
