Shoulder pads have come back BIG time. Thanks to Balmain and Margiela, they are seen everywhere in the high-end, high street, low street in this summer.

Check out these amazing structured shoulder details on the FW09 runway...we love it!

Martin W Photographer

2009-06-24T04:46:00.000-07:00

I believe that in order to do a good job in your work, one has to be really passionate about it.
it takes time and its hard work, but when you see the result in the end, it will be all worth it.
Martin W who is a freelance photographer, and a friend, helped me with my product shooting over the past weekend. It took us more than 12 hours to complete all the shots, but when we see the photos, we feel like time was well spent. He created the exact mood that I want my photos to have, with the help of different lighting effects, and his superb photographer skills.

If you love his work as much as I do, he can be reached @ wongchunhomartin@gmail.com (price upon request)

Nature Stylist

2009-06-17T06:13:00.000-07:00

Dressing up to a party (Fun? Pain?)
Playing mix and match with "it" and vintage pieces (Easy? Stressful?)
Should there be a limited kinds of color appear on ones outfit?
Is green+red necessary = Christmas-y? ......
list goes on..

I think a lot of you might have the same questions in your head.

I've always been so amazed by the natural color palette on wild animals and insects. So vibrant. So saturated. So gorgeous.
Simply take that as an inspiration or should i say, a guideline, and I guaranteed that you will match yourself some gorgeous outfits.

Lace and Trim Day @ SSP (Shum Shui Po)

2009-06-16T04:44:00.000-07:00

This is yet the best Lace and Trim Shop in SSP! They stock loads of unique and gorgeous lace mainly from Japan, some are even Vintage, if you are a big lace-collector, you HAVE to come here! Their prices are a bit higher than other places in SSP, but it's all worth it.

* Tips: They have some Vintage laces not on display, make sure you ask the ladies for the stock files!

These are some spots that you have to hit in SSP apart from (sometime painful) fabric-swatching. The Pawnshop...The bra pads + mannequin (check out the face!)... the $5/ cup buttons??!

I Love Brogues!!!!!

2009-06-10T02:21:00.000-07:00

Above brogues are available in Browns Focus

I’m absolutely obsessed with them...Since I bought my first brogues from COMME des GARCONS......Its very classy while not being too formal.
Just wear them with roll up ripped jeans and a plain tee for a sloppy look.....For me I love to wear them with suit trousers. For ladies this season I suggest to pair them with a boyfriend blazer (roll up your sleeve!) + skinny jeans.

I plan to purchase this white Church's brogues from net-a-port.com and then maybe a blk/white to keep this one company and then a red one..........brown............bla..............

Chanel for man?

2009-06-04T02:06:00.000-07:00

I like how Zing is always so passionate about what he likes, and what he does.

As a lot of you might already knew, he is one of the biggest fans of Chanel.
I've always been so fascinated by Chanel....but to me it's more of a Woman's brand.
Zing found his unique way of wearing vintage pieces of Chanel - creating one
of a kind pieces by buying rare vintage Chanel classic tweed jacket, with the help of the superb tailoring
skills of his favorite tailor. you should hear the Q&A sessions between these two.... it would probably makes
an interesting documentary itself.

This Chanel Documentary DVD from him has easily become one of my favorites.....

Signe Chanel

2009-06-04T01:30:00.000-07:00

You can't miss this. I have watched it for a hundred times. A documentary of one of the most famous brand in the world.
Some of you might asked the same question "How come Karl Lagerfeld carries his own bag while walking into the Chanel building."
You have to watch it yourself to feel it but I really like the part where a madam straighten the velvet as if she was running her fingers up and down the keys on a piano.......
