The Grown-Up Hipster

The awesome collecion by Whitney Pozgay, niece of Kate Spade. Chic, no? I reckon we savvy ladies can duplicate the looks easily with existing pieces in our closets.

So don't just sit back and enjoy the view, remix your closet and get the girlish dandy cross tomboyish style. Wink wink.

P/s: I am so sorry for the lack of consistent posts... I have been so busy. :(

Vogue UK | Class of 2006 | Paolo Roversi

If my yearbook were like this, I would believe that I have died and gone to heaven. This has to be my favourite editorial for a while (a long long while). I know it had been quite some time since it was published. Back when I talk about fashion so fervently and not very much an OCD vintage person. But that's the thing about vintage, they won't get old, they are already old. In a good way. So applause to Paolo Roversi, for exquisite photos.

It has been a while since I did an editorial post, so behold the links round up of these inspiring blogs of March. As the weather is finally turning decent for northerners, the weather down south had certainly took a sharp turn to the bad side. We have been having windy, cold wet days.

So I look to these pretty ladies for inspiration. These are some tips that I gathered:

One. Get an oversize knit jumper to keep you warm. Put it over dresses/top and you will feel warm enough to wear open-toed shoes.

Two. If that doesn't work, put on a pair of plain white socks or some tights. They go so well with brogues, pumps and even clogs!

Three. Lace is in and floral prints stay. These material brings a softer edge to your outfits and they are just the thing we need to add a twist to boring colours.

Four. Alter that dress! Check out the links above and you will see that most successful bloggers can at least do a bit of alterations or DIY. Thrifting may be the best way to recover pieces from the past but they usually don't fit perfectly. Go with what your heart tells you. Whether it is to chop off the sleeves or to shorten the hem, they will be pretty by the time you are done.

So ladies, may you be pretty through all the seasons of the year. As Tim Gunn says, "make it work,". Wink.
