LFW 2013SS SELECTION #1


The selection for latest show is something I would love to try lately, each designer/ brand only picked three of my favourite looks. (maybe some detail looks as the extra point.) Let would help me focus on the trends/ colours and new shining designers.


這個單元是我近期的小嘗試, 從各個品牌/設計師中選出三套我的最愛。(有時還會加上細節圖片)除了和大家分享外, 也是為了讓我自己更專注在這一季的趨勢/顏色還有新秀設計師上。


The first selections I picked on London Fashion Week 2013SS are Mary Katrantzou, Temperley London and Paul Smith.


這一期被我選中的倫敦2013SS設計師有Mary Katrantzou, Temperley London還有 Paul Smith.



Basic Black & white + high light colours--Red/ Yellow/ Green/ Blue, but still keep the looks pretty fresh.


簡單黑與白的基礎上再加上紅色黃色綠色藍色--->增加亮點, 但還是保有簡約清新的感覺。 


 Colourful see-through strips VS colourful blocking strips. Sweet and playful.


多色薄紗半透明條紋 vs 多色塊條紋, 增添甜美也增添趣味。 


Mirror Prints, with colourful/ geometric lines, modern vs crafty.


鏡面感的線條或幾何圖形印花, 顯得摩登又富有文化感。


Clean silhouette, simple and chic. Like the girls in the city, can be unique, can be sweet or even be really sophisticated.


乾淨的輪廓, 簡約又大方。就像在都市裡的女孩一樣, 可以獨特,可以甜美,也可以很高雅。

u are what u wear。|| 2013SS London street style.||




The street style outside fashion shows are getting crazier and crazier. (especially London, my favourite city) So creative, feels like another amazing show under the sun and clouds. So many styles, so many characters. Like another beautiful sightseeing in those fashionable cities, but instead of historical backgrounds, its a mixture of cultures and personalities.


最近幾季秀場外的街拍真是越來越精彩, 越來越有創意, (尤其是我最愛的倫敦)感覺就像是一場風格多變的街頭走秀。各式各樣的風格, 各種性格和背景, 好像變成這些時尚大城市裡的另一處景點, 但唯一不同的是, 少了歷史背景但卻多了文化和個性的絢麗結合。


From outgoing colourful prints, to sophisticated matching colours. From graceful power dressing to playful scrabble t-shirts. And if you zoom to the very details, you would be amazed by the accuracy between the outfits and the accessories. Cartoon face heels and palm sandals, totally lights up the whole look.


從活潑外向的亮眼印花, 到高雅的同色搭配。從優雅的自信軍裝, 到玩心很重的文字T恤。而且當你放大到那些細節, 精準的配色還有配飾的裝點, 完全會令人驚艷不已。卡通臉譜的高跟鞋還有熱情的椰子樹涼鞋, 很幽默又巧妙的變成整身的亮點。


No one knows you better than yourself, the mood, the background and the interests. You are definitely your own stylist or even the best designer, the street is your runway, so why not make it shine and pretend the sun as the spotlight !  :)


沒有人會比你更瞭解自己的心情, 背景還有興趣, 所以你完完全全是自己最好的造型師, 或甚至是設計師!所以為什麼不自信的試著將街道當作是你一個人的伸展台, 然後假裝一下太陽是聚光燈呢!:)

where。|| aroom, shanghai ||





Love the contrast in the city. Modern and Tradition, Busy and Relaxed, Rough and Delicate. Everything is very different from others but still balanced. Just like this little cafe I found, very cozy, nostalgia, and unique. It's in a famous old lane in shanghai. Opened by a lovely couple who loves to collect vintages. You have to ring the bell so someone will answer the door for you. It's like walking into someone's house , very private but welcomed. In the cafe, everything little things are perfectly placed on those amazing vintage furnitures. Too pretty to make you feels like you are in a small gallery, and you just can't stop taking photos to create your own work of art.


喜歡城市裡戲劇化卻也十分平衡的反差:摩登與傳統; 忙碌與悠閒; 粗獷與細膩。就像我在上海一個有名的弄堂(衛樂園)裡找到的這家咖啡廳一樣, 復古/安逸/獨特, 和繁忙的商業街/金融大樓形成強烈對比。由一對喜愛復古雜物的夫妻所開的小店, 需要按門鈴才能進到他們精心打造的小天地。在這個獨特的空間裡, 所有物品都很細膩的陳列在復古精緻的傢具上, 用心到你很難去停下按快門的手, 用自己的方式, 在他們如藝術展覽的空間裡, 去創造慵懶的回憶。


Place like this is the perfect place for me in a city. The beautiful contrast between busy busy buildings and calm cozy cafe. Perfect escape from money, power and reality. Just tea, book and me : )


這樣的空間一直是我在一個繁忙城市裡所找尋的祕密花園。是個在大城市裡映出的美麗反差。用來逃離金錢, 權利與現實, 躲進溫暖的茶, 書本和自我。

there。|| just do it. ||






One of the motto that i keep in mind is JUST DO IT. It's a good attitude for me to motivate myself. The editorial by Carola Doornbos, is the most attractive one for me out of all the "Olympic inspiration" photoshoots that you can find in the magazines. Simple and chic. I think that's what sport can benefit you: good body shape and good health. I must say, after London Olympic, the spirit has really get into me. I start taking swimming lessons and being quite enthusiastic about it.


JUST DO IT 不知道從甚麼時候開始變成了我的座右銘之一, 很喜歡在心裡這樣激勵的告訴自己“做就對了”。Carola Doornbos製作的這個時裝大片, 是在看過好多充滿奧運精神的時裝大片後, 最喜歡的一個。簡潔大方又時尚。我想這也是運動能帶來的好處:完美的身體線條還有健康的身心。其實這次的倫敦奧運也讓我拾起了當初一直想完成的夢想之一...學會游泳!(不要笑我...我之前真的不會游)現在不只會游了, 還很積極的拉家人一起學。


The girl in those photos might just be the next goal for me.


Powerful, Confident and Elegant.


我想這照片裡女孩的形象就是我想達到的目標吧:堅定, 自信又優雅。


 com'on, 對任何喜愛的運動說...JUST DO IT吧!

pieces。|| make the most out of your days。aug.秋. 2012 ||








Waking up every morning, I like to picture what I can do to make the most out of my day. Sometimes I could be a control freak, who plan the day step by step. But most of time, I make it spontaneously, unexpectedly, to be out of the box but still totally enjoy every bit of it.


早上起來, 我總是喜歡思考怎樣能充實的過這一天。有時候我是個控制狂, 會列好清單一件事一件事的去完成。但很多時候我還是喜歡順其自然, 沒有期待的迎接這一天, 認真做好每件事, 享受每一個小細節。


Especially, when you get lost in life, it can be very frustrated. Suddenly, you can't find your target/ aim in life, even though you work really hard, but feel trapped, and people around you are having so many different opinions of the path you could take. However, There are no right path for life. Sometimes you just need to be spontaneous, to be lost and get the aim/ target of life back. With firm feeling and believing what you really want in life.


尤其是當你在人生裡很徬徨的迷了路, 忽然沒有了目標; 就算你每天再辛苦的工作但被困住的感覺越來越重, 身邊的人提供了各式各樣的建議覺得你應該怎麼怎麼做。人生裡美一條路都沒有對錯, 有的時候反而讓自己迷失一下才能更清楚的去感受, 去找回真正渴望的人生目標。


Something I did spontaneously this month:  Swimming in a quite evening/ Buying a book out of a vintage store/ Going to a nice small gig/ Dancing in local club/ Taking photos with total strangers on the mid-night street.


八月, 我也讓自己很隨興的做了幾件事:在晚上9點安靜的泳池裡游泳/ 在復古雜貨店裡買了本臺灣作家的書/ 看了場小型演唱會/ 不在預料中卻很盡興的兩次跳舞/ 大半夜在馬路上和陌生人的合照。


Well, darling, no one says life is easy, so why not try to face it with a little sparkle and a pleasant attitude.


恩, 人生是真的不簡單, 所以更要用愉悅/ 隨遇而安的態度, 加上一點點隨興又不傷大雅的小火花去面對它。
