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!
I admit that I am a modern sort of person, and I love that! I enjoy the 'slide to unlock' and being able to keep my friends and family updated about where I am and teasing them with food pics through one device. Fashion, art and music are three of the most influential elements of my life. I would always have my music on loud when I get ready, and usually wear what I feel depending on my mood that day. Obviously, I haven't dyed my hair to a crazy colour, and I don't really have a strict style to how I dress either. I think it's fun to try new styles/looks, but leather is definitely one of my favourites!
Personally, I think trousers are super comfortable and practical. I can do whatever without having to worry about my butt showing when it's windy. So last summer I've said my farewells to those flawy (and rather short) pretty-looking skirts I used to wear. Anyway, you wouldn't believe how long I've been searching for a nice pair of leather trousers. It got to the point where I given up looking for one because it has been so difficult trying to find one that fits me properly. Luckily, when I was in Paris I found a great pair and the length is perfect! It's definitely one of the most comfortable leather trousers I've ever tried on!
