Minimalist. Sophisticated. Luxury. Modern.
These are the four words I'd use to describe this collection.
Ever since I returned home from fashion week, I've been dreaming constantly about Dear Frances spring/summer '15 collection, Girl Of My Dreams. Each designs are combined with see-through glass and mesh fabric, so in my opinion they are super trendy. I love these clog shoes, as they bring back so much memories of when I was younger. When I was a little girl, I often witnessed my mother who worn simple designed shoes such as clogs, masculine-looking sandals and black leather trainers - very similar designs to Dear Frances latest collection as well! I never understood why she said they were pretty and comfortable. Until now that I'm a lot older, I realised that sometimes simple things can be the best things in life! I absolutely adore the use of sharp cuts, bold designs and the simplest tones of colour such as black, white, pastel pink and gold. They're stylish, modern, but most importantly they're super light-weight! So, if you prefer to travel by foot, whether it's short or long-distance, or stays on your feet all day (I do most of them daily, sigh) then a pair of light-weight shoes is always handy to have.
It was very lovely to meet Jane Frances (designer), we chatted about the background of this brand, and she was a really friendly (and smiley) person as well, which is always a bonus! I got so carried away with these gorgeous shoes, it was such a pleasure to have Jane introducing each designs to me in person. And oh, thank you so much Jane for the lovely catalogue, I've been flicking through them every day!
This season at London Fashion Week has got to be one of my best seasons yet! I've been extremely busy running round all over the city and was on my feet most of the time. On day one, I carried an extra pair of heels in my handbag, and gosh, it was the worst decision ever! I had so many things with me that day including my organiser, camera (which is massive), make-up bag and even a bottle of water. The problem wasn't just the weight, but the fact that I didn't even change into my heels when I was out. I ditched them for flats, which later turned out that my foot was bleeding from them anyway (all the running and rushing around etc.) - I just couldn't win!
I've met so many lovely people including the queen of pastel,
Charlotte Fisher <3 It has been another inspirational season and I'm always very grateful for being able to experience that!
Friday 14th February. Lots of rain. I didn't have an umbrella.
I know I should always be prepared. But I didn't mind that my hair got wet (actually I did), being present was the priority. My intention was to hang out at somerset house all day - to shoot as many amazing street outfits as possible. But it was raining heavily (most of the day), so most people kind of disappeared indoor, and I didn't really want to disrupt the crowd, as they waited endlessly to get inside the show space. Anyway, I had the most amazing week, I've met and worked with so many people, and may have to say that my second season at LFW has ended with long lasting memories.
Cannot wait for next season. And definitely cannot wait until summer because it means two things: graduation, and full-time committed to the industry of fashion!
Which outfit are you most inspired by?
Have a wonderful day,

Hello! I hope everybody's having a good saturday so far! It was really sunny earlier… that was really nice - I guess it's okay when a British person say that kind of thing, right?
Anyway, I know London Fashion Week is over, but it doesn't mean that it's over for many fashion lovers out there including myself. Many of you who are reading this right now probably didn't even know that I was at London Fashion Week again. It's most likely because I don't make every 'announcements', when I think I should? I was there to work hard, while having lots of fun really.
Last season, I didn't have any time (or a photographer) to capture my outfits - not that I had lots of time to run around in many fancy outfits either. Work and being professional comes first! Although, this season, I hung out (for a whole day) at Somerset House with an absolutely awesome girl, who has kindly took some quick snaps of what I was wearing that day. The weather was terrible though. Heavy rain and wind, so shooting outdoor would of been a disaster!
I was inspired by monochrome, sporty look and a pop of colour that day!
