Lilly Piri~Miss Fairy Tale


15 Sep 2012
We were all surprise by the early coming of autumn breeze in HK. Brighten up my way to work and a series of private sorrow.
Here comes Miss Autumn Lilly Piri, Brisbane born artist.
Her colour pencil works are sweet & soft & yet not too soft with vintage stroke outline.
Influence by Art Nouveau which promote decorative art with natural forms & structures, Lilly's artwork are oftenly filled with cheerful & joyful flora & fauna, little girl with lovely animals like squirrels, deers, puppies, kittens & rabbits & pastel tone.
She used to swipe a brush on pencil strokes to create a soft touch, which is a good idea & i am gonna try it tonight!

Anne Valérie Hash Spring 13

When i was still a Fashion student,Anne Valérie Hash is one of my favourite designer for projects.
Her works were highlighted for the "deconstruction" topic and was one of the suggested designers for reference.

Differ from Hash's previous collection, SS13 has less deconstruction work than ever, yet, Hash still kept her favourite tailoring skill, the pink deconstructed windbreaker.

Another highlight for Hash,is that her asymmetric cut for left and right panel of her soft-tailored jacket with layering effect, seperating collar and button panel.

Her gorgeous colour-sense is shown with the use of different hues of blue colour, matching up with coral, salmon and even dirty nude pink, black crossover waist-pants and Geometric cut beige wedges.
Love her jumpsuits and her jackets.
Different hue of blue, and violet!
stunning lake blue drape skirt
Asymmetric sleeves and soft body wrapping effect
Gorgeous salmon pink jumpsuit matching with sharp blue

To-Buy list of Mango

It has been over 1 month since my last update and was toooooo occupied by new job.
Well no more excuse!
We do what we love, not as a task.
and when you are really into something, you don't need to remind yourself to do it,
you will do it whenever you have chance.

其實只要是喜歡做的,就會自動去做了.
今天剛好瀏覽了POPBEE,又多了一張to-buy list.
先來夏天的to-buy items好了.
是CORAL PNK的飄逸上衣+白色的裙子.
感覺就是很輕,很清,縱使有層次還是一點也不濃郁誇張.
夏天就是要有輕飄飄的感覺嘛....謝絕一看就讓人流汗的夏裝.
by Camille~a Thailand fashion blogger & fashion designer & model

Kate Moss的演繹,讓人真有衝動明天就到MANGO把它帶回家.
一流的party/happy hour之選.sharp得來不高傲,使得身旁的女生驚訝你入貨的眼光怎麼那麼好?
當然,一姐親自演繹的嘛.
可以加上羽毛耳環點綴一下略嫌空虛的上半部,因為不是每個人都有如KATE MOSS般令人羨慕的骨架.

just an idea for shooting=]
yet, perfect for vacation

嫵媚*V*

Blue Lemon Cafe & wine bar

First try to write about delicious food and restaurant!
Went to Blue lemon cafe & wine bar in Tai Hang (Tin Hau station exit A1) for someone's birthday dinner. Despite of the unhappy incident before we went there( i did make the reservation but someone told me to cancel it then we went there once again.luckily it wasnt weekends or else, we will not be that lucky to have a seat immediately)
The whole atmosphere is a bit too dim, blue all around which, if you are there for cocktail,drinks and chat around after work with your colleagues, it will be such a pleasure for a cool night out. Yet,i do like sitting beside the large window beside the street in a quiet corner, watching people walking around out there. With the oysters and wine, everything will be perfectly relaxing!
When we settled, the waiter kindly introduce their chef recommendation and the oyster set. We have ordered 12 oysters,angus prime rib eye steak香煎美國安格斯肉眼扒,香煎鵝肝伴藍莓意大利飯.

The oysters are fresh and the chef didnt flush it before he served it so the sea water could be kept in the oyster and we can taste the original flavour of the oyster. Yet, they seems like a bit too thin ..the second order's oysters are even thinner than our first round.not much satisfied with the quality.

The fried angus prime rib eye steak is far more delicious with its sour and salty sauce and the seasoning.quite juicy indeed. Just the same problem, too thin for each piece since that we expect to have a thicker one as it doesnt go with spaghetti or angel hair.












The blueberry rice is ok for me as the goose liver is juicy enough and goes well with the rice.yet, my fd isnt too favour of sweet rice, haha!

Overall the service and the environment is good, food is quite delicate but just a bit too little:)

好,之前已經打了一大段的中文版只是不小心忘了save所以...

話不多說,
這間位於大坑(近天后)的西式餐廳是打算和朋友慶祝生日而選的.因為能試試不同地方的蠔...

因為一些事情,令我取消了booking,但後來又照舊去了,幸而是星期二,如果不是的話應該要等上很久.
剛去到已有幾位老外在外面的企台吹水,各人手中一杯cocktail的感覺就是,有老外同事的工作方式真的不同吧....他們happy hour得很寫意呢!

餐廳內的氣氛就是一片藍調,播放的音樂如果是jazz而不是lady gaga會更好吧.....
有點昏暗的感覺但配上桌上的燭光就很happy hour了.
如果能夠坐在角落窗邊的位置的話能看著街上行人,和幾位知己下班後輕食,飲一杯的話,感覺會更寫意的.

入正題,我們order了半打蠔,美國的,非洲,"南美的"(我忘了sorry)
味道很鮮,不錯的是還保留著其中的海水,唯一不好的是除了美國的那兩隻外都太瘦了!!!
再叫一round的更瘦......=[

點了香煎美國安格斯肉眼扒,也是太瘦了....很薄的扒,但上面的香料很不錯,很夠味,肉汁也很香甜(現在想起來還很想吃)
main course: 香煎鵝肝伴藍莓意大利飯.
鵝肝很香,汁很香,我個人是覺得藍莓飯很好吃,一點點酸加上甜甜的藍莓味(很輕的)是很開胃的.
只是有人第一句就說,不喜歡甜的飯...

整體來說是很不錯的,如果你不是來填飽肚子的話.=P
This is my first time blogging about food and dining...not really good at it as i can't figure out how to use appropriate wordings on describing them...please comment and let me know what should I improve=]
第一次寫食評........不太會寫,詞太窮....請多多指教.

Steve Madden Spring 2012 Fashion show

Firstly, thanks popbee for giving me such a chance to join this delightful party! I was not able to join the event at the very beginning. Yet, luckily finally able to arrive there and watched the last few minutes of the show.
The spring collection has used colour blocks in designing platform and heels. Studs are also one of the main character of all the gorgeous diva.

Also, sandals with leather straps are also one of the must-have items in the spring collection! Leather straps structures can made your feet look slimmer and longer with a better shape.

I bought one pair of wedge with straw and pastel pink.oh yea. Yellow, orange, purple and milky yellow wedges are your charming partner for a passionate summer!:)
Cheers!!

Also, neon colours like fluorescent pink and violet suede wedges or high heels are eye catching items which make you hit the flow in the night.  

On another hand,flats in straw and flax are also presented in a colourful and ethnic patterns. 
bye
retro bold heels


P.s i have got a little cute USB as a welcoming gift!!

Enya Bakunova by Jamie Nelson for ELLE RUSSIA march

2012.03.20
happy birthday to my beloved big bean<3

Today's weather is nice with light spring wind and light sunshine
Yet, I am not in condition since something happened and I am upset.

YET, saw this series of shooting by Jamie Nelson with Enya Bakunova for ELLE RUSSIA March from Popbee.






With light pink lighting as background colour, the photographer successfully and gracefully created a mood of Spring with soft breezy wind. The whole styling has a pastel base with lace and nude makeup with the model, Enya Bokunova wearing large sunglasses and posting artlessly and presented a tranquil expression on her face. That's a harmony of spring. 


P.s I finally found the perfect mood and the actual product(the shooting) with my ideal one 2 years ago during the styling project. We was just assigned to make a series of mood board with the idea, the lighting, perfect Russian model (mine was Vlada Roslyakova) the flowers and the base colour. =] feel so good to meet this photo shooting which is exactly the same as how I thought to be hehe
