Neon soles for the summer Soul
Summer is finally approaching. I can foresee I’ll be a bit more inspired to play dress up.
Concrete Jungle
When wearing animal print (specially leopard print), there’s a very thin line between tacky and classy — I’d like to think this is a good example of how you can pull it off without looking like you came from cougar-town.
Tribal and Minty
Well hello there refreshing mint. I got these sweater from my mom’s closet 3 years ago (as you may have seen from this look) glad to have mint hit a major trend, it saves me from another shopping …
Waiting for Summer
Summer is almost here. I can’t wait — it seems like forever. I’m getting very impatient and tired of layering. I’m also tired of catching a cold because I’m never dressed warm enough.
electric Blue
I do love the high-contrasting on this outfit. This look features sunglasses from BonLook, belt from tie-ups and Jeans from LuckyBrand.
Hello Sean O
This look is a bit casual than what I usually would go for. Still keeping my own twist by buttoning the shirt all the way (I just like my shirt button all the way up all the time). It’s no …
Hogwarts
vintage shirt from mom, Hailey Sweater and McKenzie Coat from OAK + FORT, ox blood brogues from Dr. Martens. Having an Asian parents can be very funny sometimes, specially if you’re into fashion. Mom always has very interesting comments about …
Please don’t take my sunshine away
I shot this yesterday JUST right before the rain started pouring. If you look at the photo closely, you will see the rain drops a bit in the shot. It was a rather short shoot as the rain were becoming …
Aviator, biker and Tribal
Hello to all of you lovers! Pardon the lack of update post. It has been some crazy crazy few weeks for me. Glad to be back though. This look features a denim shirt from LuckyBrand, socks from Neighbour, and Brogues …
Preppy and Pastel
I woke up today and decided I want to wear pastel. Trench coat from Zara kids, Sweater is gifted to me, shirt is my mom’s, jeans is gifted from my sister, RayBans Wayfarer. I often get asked where I get …
Let the wind blow
I wore this look on the first day of Berlin Fashion Week. I’ve been a little obsessed with these oversize/long coat lately. It’s funny considering how tiny I am and I how they literally eat up my body — but …
Double Coat
shirt and tie from Zara / sweater and navy coat from mom / trousers – self altered from H&M / overcoat from OAK + FORT
Christmas Party
Last Friday night I attended a Christmas party by the company I interned for last summer, just right after I finished school. Although I was only with the company for four months, I am very flattered by the invitation and …
Red and Velvet
Dear rainbowbits and argyle knitted sweater: I am very sorry Amaly could not keep you. She had told me a lot of good things about you, so sure I would love you. I am very glad we have finally met. …
Vintage Blazer
I received this blazer from Beta por Homme (thank you Beate) as a gift not too long ago. I adore this blazer a lot and I love all the tiny bits of details it has: the fabric, the colors, texture, …
That Afternoon
Weekend at Bernie’s Sunglasses from BonLook Custom made shirt from MadeTailorCustom Gloves from Joe Fresh Wool Sweater from Zara Belt (Glam pins) from tie-ups.it Bag from H&M Double Belt Loop trousers from JNBY Brogues from Joe Fresh
Spookbook Runner Up
Can you find me on the SpookBook.nu Halloween contest winner board above? My Pinocchio Halloween costume landed a runner up win for the Lookbook DIY Halloween Contest, earning me a $100 AmericanApparel Gift Certificate. I would like to thank my …
Sheer and Leopard
hey hoy!. I caught bird in my background this time. It has been EXTREMELY cold in Vancouver lately and although the sun is beaming bright, don’t let it fool you. I was shaking while taking this photo. Meanwhile, I’m starting …
Leather and Bullet
So the rainy season have started in Vancouver, and this is one of those “bundle up and keep warm” outfit I can’t get away with. Lord knows how many times I’ve compromised comfort/health over satisfying my fashion-conscience but sometimes you …
Illusion
You know I always tip-toe when taking photos to elongate myself, but with theses shoes from Doc Martens, they allow me to stand on my toes longer. It’s got a very hard exterior that can somehow with stand my weight. …
Good boy
Tweed Fedora Hat, Modern Amusement Leather bow tie, OAK + FORT Gingham Shirt, Zara Man Shawl collared sweater, H&M Dark Denim Jeans, Zara kids Stripped socks, H&M Blood Red Brogues, Joe Fresh
Back to Prep
I haven’t really worn a shirt + V-neck sweater combo in a while. Although this look is a little preppy, it has a very sort of unpredictable-preppy quality to it. With the clear round-framed glasses + the leather backpack being …
Black
As plain as just a simple black outfit, but like that “little black dress’ for the ladies, I think this look is strong edgy. Simple color story and clean lines and detailing can be a great backdrop for amazing accessorizing. …
Denim on Denim for Fall
You have seen me do denim + denim in the summer, so here’s rendition of the idea for fall. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I am in love with these round-inventor’s sunglasses. I love it’s gold framing. It …
Mom’s Pajama Pants
I love the simplicity and corky-ness of this look. Basic and classic but fun was injected by my mom’s pajama pants.
Double Breasted
I used to always think double-breasted blazers would never work for me. I just simply assume they are meant to be for older gentleman. I also do not like the possibility of my shoulder to appear wider. Short legs + …
First day of Fall
Minimal & Neutral with lots of texture. I feel like yesterday was officially the first day of Fall, although it’s upsetting that summer is over — I’m pretty excited to layer and bulk up again — lazy cold days where …
Shirt + Skirt
I have seen a lot of girls do this “shirt-worn-skirt” lately so I thought I should give it a try.
Woven Oxford
Another look before summer is finally over. Casual with slight hint of being dressy. I love how the look was elevated by the linen blazer and the woven oxford.
Neutral but not boring
Neutrals don’t have to be boring. There’s are many other aspects of an outfit you can play with; throw in your vintage piece, play with texture (braided leather belt and a slight touch of leather) The first time I got …
Paisley and Mustard
With the weather slightly cooling down, this linen blazer is great to keep you stylish during the day and warm at night. I picked a classic V-neck t-shirt for a clean simple look, playing with bold color on the mustard …
Grandpa
My mom said I look like an old man — PERfECT! for the very first time, my mom pointed out correctly what look I was going for (in the past, she described my outfits as fisherman, garbage collector, astronaut, bus …
Pedestrian
Just before summer ends, here’s another look. It has gotten way too hot even a linen blazer wasn’t very ideal, so I had to strip the blazer off, but then I thought the look was too plain, so I wore …
Just a boy
I find it very interesting that when I look at my photos, I see a boy trying to dress up as a grown-up man — I mean, it’s funny in a way but I just find it odd, I guess …
DIY Sean O’pry T-shirt
I de-stitched the neckline on this t-shirt and iron on this image of Sean O’pry, and then stretched it to get me a very loose and casual look. I shall be doing a tutorial on how to make this t-shirt …
Nature Boy
Mixing casual pieces with dressy ones. Still loving this vintage retro round-framed sunglasses. I usually get lazy to dress up in the summer because it usually gets too hot, but light t-shirt and sandals are good alternative to a long …
Wearing my Face
Another look wearing my very own M’c kenneth t-shirt, which I am very proud of since more and more people seem to like to acquire it. The trouser was a baggy kid’s pants but I slimmed down the bottom to …
Urban Amazon
Urban Amazon to me is — something very organic, light, loose, clean yet still very sophisticated. Here I have a lightly sheer v-neck t-shirt, paired up with linen blazer and camouflage cargo shorts — taking inspiration from nature, straw hat …
How to rock a wrinkled shirt
Vancouver weather is being a bit of a pain lately. I am so ready to just dive into summer and start wearing all my summer planned outfits, but the weather can still get pretty chilly — leaving me no option …
Banana Mint
If you have been following my looks from day one, you might probably know that i LOVE to play with colors, and this look is another evidence of that. mint trousers, stripped banana yellow, tortoiseshell rounded frame, and white rubber …
Colors, I love colors
Very strong color clashed together. I’ve always love the idea of a strong and bold pants — I think people should try and be more experimental with trousers because they usually get forgotten (majority tends to go very conservative and …
DIY tote
The DIY fake chanel tote is back. If you have been following my looks, you probably have seen it in many of my other looks before. I’ve been wearing this linen blazer a lot lately mainly because it’s the only …
Vancouver behind me
Another summer look and different styling on that Bandana shirt from my previous look (which is shot weeks ago, i just never had time to upload it, hence my hair looks a lot shorter there) Anyways, I hope you guys …
Paisley + tie ups
This look features the tie-up belt, please check them out — they’ve got amazing stuff http://www.tie-ups.it/2010/
Over the Bridge
It was summer yet still chilly yesterday. I walked over Cambie bridge to go downtown for my intern. Stop halfway through and took some photos, pretty interesting look and reactions from people passing by.
Welcome back Summer
I’m finally back posting looks on Lookbook.nu I’ve had a chaotic few weeks lately and if you’ve been following my blog, you would probably know why. This is my take on casually dressy. Simple pieces, light and easy to put …
Garçon
Another classic simple look. The weather has been sucky lately and I can’t be pulling an Etro Milano styling in the rain — nor an oxford shoes with no socks, so here it is for now. Layering in the middle …
Dandelions
Wow, I’m on a sneakers, surprise! so summer is almost here, school is done for me, so I’ve moved to back to my parents. I went for something light an casual yet with my personality still intact. Linen blazer, straw …
Rainy Saturday
Catch up time with my very good friend Nicole, who I haven’t seen in ages. The weather wasn’t too nice and it was a mix of light, heavy rain, then the next thing you know, it’s hailing. Nicole and I …
Tribal
Although the sun has been shinning in Vancouver lately, it’s still fairly cold — but doesn’t mean dress-warm is boring — here’s my take on casual-edgy.
a lil leopard
Another summer look!. The classic M’c kenneth look — silent and subtle with a strong kick on the leopard tie worn as belt =D
Green Pants
find that a lot of people are very against wearing colored pants — and usually just stick to the neutrals, or denim. I am a bit experimental when it comes to dressing up and I treat trousers/bottoms as any other …
Vampire’s kiss
The color pallets reminds me of a vampire movie. It was meant to be a classic Sicilian look but the red tie (worn as belt) + the sand-bottle necklace took the look in a different direction. Another way to wear …
Can’t wait for Summer
Another basic summer look. Simple elements, nicely accessorized. Ribbon belt, sunglasses, gold watch, and duffel with leather piping.
Short Sleeved Trench
I’m all about making things work — trench is a very versatile piece but it can get a little fall-y sometimes, so I thought I’d cuff the sleeve all the way up — I’ve seen few designers going for a …
Shirt – Pants
Having a very tiny little legs can have some perks sometimes. Normal shirts are usually very big on me and would always end up altering them, even the sleeve to be slimmed down because it’s always big and bulky — …
He loves me, He loves me not.
This is more like a “He likes me, he likes me not” question. I would say that it’s a little early to use the world LOVE. It’s way too soon to even tell or predict what the future has in …
Biker Prep
What happens when Biker + Preppy had a crash. If I were forced to get on a motorbike — this is how I would do it (missing the helmet though) an alternative way of incorporating leather to your spring wardrobe. …
The (denim) Flip
I thought I’d do a little casual this time. Very chill, skeleton sweater I got from last year, paired with gingham button up. Corky sailor/captain(?) hat, and the 80s acid washed denim, and the classic converse sneakers.
Vintage Military
My dad hand me down this awesome military blazer, but since I’m way too tiny to fit it.. it looks more like a coat/jacket than a blazer, which is totally fine with me — then my bff gave me this …
Sunset Blues
working as an intern from 9-5 everyday, I get home around 6pm and i might not have a nice sunlight beaming to do a shoot anymore, but I’ve got this gorgeous sunset going on behind me.
Hello Spring
Spring have officially arrived! and you know it when cheery blossoms starts popping everywhere.
Summer Essentials
How’s everyone doing? are you guys excited for summer already? we’re getting a bit of sun here and there in Vancouver — btw I am now officially an intern… so sorry for the lack of lookbook entry lately, I have …
Waiting for Spring
post Birthday look. It’s becomming nicer and nicer in Vancouver lately =D and we’re seeing the sunlight more often and longer during the day =D it’s still pretty cold though, so here’s a look that keep you looking nice during …
Jump Shot
one more day before my birthday =D Here’s another look. I love the mixture of this nylon windbreaker… very unexpected and casual yet when thrown into a slightly dressier ensemble — it looks effortlessly fabulous. Hope you like it.
Studded Collar
I had a bit of a free time yesterday so I decided to cut one of my torn-and-almost ruined studded belt.. and stick it into my shirt’s collar.. the result, a very Prada inspired shirt, and ofcourse, the dress-up game …
Hidden Eiffel Tower
t’s a little sunny in Vancouver today… hence I manage to go out and take a quick photo… a little casual from my usual look, but that’s what I’m trying to bring to the table — I thought I’d show …
