Acne Desert boots

Some outfit are meant for rainy days...

... and if it takes a down the dump wet cold rainy day for me to wear this, I would say it is totally worth it.

Shadowing Sunday: Diane Kruger

No, I am not much of a big fan of Diane Kruger. It's just because I am trying to make myself blog more consistently that I randomly came up with Shadowing Sunday, so there will at least be something up each week. And I was just looking at the whole boyfriend jeans trend because I had been in pain yearning for a decent pair of slouchy BFjeans from a decent brand - not like some random yuck ones. Then I found this on polyvore:

Cool right? A simple outfit made out of mostly things that you probably already have in your closet, the loose sweater, basic gray tank, gladiators from 5 seasons ago....you get the point.

So I thought maybe I can find another outfit that is worth shadowing. :) Here's what I came up with:

Basic black jeans that you should already have for years, washed denim jacket and silk scarf from that charity store, striped tee that was in style 2 seasons ago, little printed tote/book bag from your high school years and a pair of tough looking studded boots.

But if you don't already have these items, you can get them at Topshop.com(denim jacket). The tote is A.P.C bead bag and the rest can easily be found in any retail or even outlet stores near you. ;)

Leave me a comment and let me know what do you think. *wink*

Eva L in a Magazine!

I am so flattered to announce my first ever magazine feature!

Can you spot me in this video?

J Crew Summer Look

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. :(

The Military Jacket

Hut! Indeed the puffer jacket may be our number one choice for keeping warm, but I am very sure that there is a not-so-new rival in town. I first spotted this amazing piece in one of many Asian magazines that I bought, with cute Japanese girl pairing them with frilly dresses and short skirts. Even though I am a 100% asian girl, I have to admit that I can never work out any cute outfits (proof: I'm selling off that furry dress I got just a couple of days ago). Oh well, I am already very satisfied with the other clothes and shoes that I can wear.

Anyhow, since I've already bought a military styled jacket of my own (as seen in my previous post) from Forever21, I did a little homework of my own. These photos can be found in Onlylady's website, which is all written in mandarin. I personally like Taylor Momsen's ensemble the best.
