I really think white and lace are the dreamiest elements ever existed in fashion.  And currently, 20% of my wardrobe consist of white, which I think is a good amount because white goes with every other shades so you can't really go wrong.  The only thing that could go wrong is when you go out for a meal, and you drop a bit of food (curry or spaghetti bolognese are the worst!) onto your white clothes.  Oh yes, that situation is guaranteed to crush your heart into pieces. 

I've always been a great fan of denim.  I grew up wearing denim jeans, denim skirt and denim dungarees.  It feels satisfying when I invest money into a new pair of jeans because I know they'll last forever.  I'm talking about denim jeans, as I feel that white or black jeans doesn't really give me the  excitement as denim does.  As soon as I turned 18, I really got into ripped jeans.  I remember that back in school days a lot of girls thought ripped jeans looked too 'manly', some even said they were 'ugly' so most girls worn only black leggings.  Because (apparently) you would look a lot cooler wearing the same things as all of the popular girls.  I didn't give a damn what they thought, I've never been a fan of the 'short t-shirt and see-through leggings' trend anyway.  It's funny actually, as ripped jeans are everywhere now.  And all of a sudden, many young people agreed that they are rather 'sexy'.

I bought these denim-washed ripped shorts from a local boutique in Bangkok, and the cropped crochet top was actually from Primark's previous summer collection!  I simply added a white lacy cardigan and a green reflector sunglasses to make this outfit look a bit fancier.  You'd be surprised what statement pieces could do to your outfit.  Just remember, don't over do it!  

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!
