I knew I always loved fashion from a young age, but it wasn't until three years ago when I finally realised how much I want to live and grow old with it. I remember flicking through fashion magazines that my mum used to subscribed to, and how I was secretly excited when new issues arrived every month. Praew (Thai women's magazine), was the first magazine that I started flicking through at the age of eight. I still remember how much I enjoyed styling my Barbie dolls, and even making new dresses/outfits for them by cutting up my own clothes from GAP KIDS… Hahaha, sorry mum!
I'm a big fan of stripes. I'm not fussed whether they're vertical or horizontal, as long as they're combined with 'white', they tend to be my go-to-piece. For me, stripes trend is a classic. They always look trendy and you can match them with anything from denim, leather or pulling off a minimalistic look by wearing all-vertical stripes on their own. Although, there are no strict rules with fashion, and what you choose to wear is totally up to you! Just because someone else is wearing something different to how you would wear it, doesn't mean they're wrong. Wear what you feel comfortable in and have fun matching up what you already have in your wardrobe. You don't need to go out and spend a fortune on things that you're unsure of. The secret of being well-dressed is actually knowing what's appropriate to wear for what occasions, it's not all about the total cost of your entire outfit.
Sometimes, I get slightly jelly (jealous) of those who lives in a country full of warm sunshine and trees full of pretty blossoms, it would be a dream for me to wear summery clothes every day throughout the entire year! I love autumn/winter fashion trends, but being a petite built at 5 feet 4 inches and a half, I don't often enjoy layering tons of clothes, jumpers then winter coat on myself! Luckily, I've managed (just) to walk against strong winds in the winter without flying away to another planet though. Is there anybody else who can relate to this!?
Till next time,

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!
