#NYFW S/S17 Classy Woman Explores | Day 4+5

Another season and a whole load of new collections. Do I care about the seasons? Maybe not so much. But a girl loves the fashion and the perspective in becoming a woman perhaps. New York, we’re coming for you first and I’m going to tell you what I think! Dion Lee Every season during New York Fashion Week, I look forward to a few names and Dion Lee is amongst one of them. This time around, the Australian-born was inspired by refracted light which translated into ‘sliced fabric’ that was quite extraordinary and somewhat futuristic. The trench coat was a particular starting point that was deconstructed and reconstructed into one-colour-one-tone outfits. The trench coat was dissected at intricate points such as the collar-bone or the ankle. Such attentive decision affirms great designer sensibility. Dion Lee loves to play and re-modernise and this was no exception. Victoria Beckham Last season, Victoria Beckham confessed to having grown into her own, and perhaps with that in mind, she relaxed and played a bit more this season. You might also argue that …

#NYFW S/S 17 Growth! | Day 3

Another season and a whole load of new collections. Do I care about the seasons? Maybe not so much. But a girl loves the fashion and the perspective in becoming a woman perhaps. New York, we’re coming for you first and I’m going to tell you what I think! Red Valentino It can be daunting for a young person to view fashion, especially if they’re not quite at the age of womanhood just yet. It’s a strange, grey area between adolescence and true adulthood but the advantage of this, is the ability to have fun experimenting whilst still doing it right. Red Valentino offers such options with easy-to-wear A-line silhouettes which are every bit flattering whilst still keeping your youth. There was a new take on a ‘sun and beach’ theme  in the form of colour blocks and not your average sun-ray stripes. The wide-legged denim jumpsuit was particularly my favourite because…who says you can’t wear a full outfit of denim on the beach? Novis A relatively new brand who are into their sixth season already, …

#NYFW S/S 17 New Romantics | Day 1+2

Another season and a whole load of new collections. Do I care about the seasons? Maybe not so much. But a girl loves the fashion and the perspective in becoming a woman perhaps. New York, we’re coming for you first and I’m going to tell you what I think! Adeam I read the label name Adeam and immediately think of ‘a dream’. I look at the collection and I also think the same…’a dream’. Perhaps the label name is a real play on words but the products are not a joke – these are clothes that bridge the gap between girl and woman. A romantic affair through lack of flesh showing because romance is a feeling after all. What was most impressive was the use of fabric in volume and fluidity all at the right spots. The shoulders were particularly central to the collection. Adam Selman Do you ever reminisce what it means to feel young? Well, Adam Selman has the young ones’ minds at heart. Think surfer girl times skater girl with a touch of ‘boyfriend’. Our …

June Travel Series: 4th stop > Edinburgh pt.2

(Cont. from pt.1) If you have missed my previous posts in this series: June Travel Story: 1st stop > Oxford June Travel Story: 2nd stop > London June Travel Story: 2nd stop > London pt. 2 June Travel Story: 3rd stop > Brighton Last time, I continued off from Edinburgh Castle so this is where we will begin again. Living in the UK, I sometimes take for granted what views we actually have. Unless you live on a mountain, you are mostly on level-ground where you just see houses or streets. Where I live, there is a tendency to rain a lot but that’s just an excuse to not look at all the possible perspectives… Edinburgh Castle admission price was about £10/£12 per adult (I don’t remember too accurately) but it’s affordable and really, really worth it. I even got to sit on top of a cannon! And I tested out the Panorama feature on my [old] phone. So I apologise that it’s not great quality yet I still wanted to desperately show this! We couldn’t have …

June Travel Series: 4th stop > Edinburgh

It’s the final post! (Although actually, after assessing all the photos, I will have to split into parts 1 and 2.) I like to think that I left the best till last. Or at least, this was my favourite place out of the many that we (me and my family) visited. If you missed out on my previous posts in this series: June Travel Story: 1st stop > Oxford June Travel Story: 2nd stop > London June Travel Story: 2nd stop > London pt. 2 June Travel Story: 3rd stop > Brighton After we went back to London after Brighton to stay the final night, we made our way to Edinburgh shortly after breakfast that day. To be honest, I didn’t think I’d be able to endure such a long car journey (I think it was something like 8 hours in total? I can’t remember anymore but it was really long). The short breaks in-between at service stops definitely helped though! We even ate a meal or two at these service stops. Needless to say, …
