The Winter Romper

Romper: Target / Boots: Zara / Headband: vintage / Necklace: Expression via The Bay

Just like the winter dress, there also exists a winter version of the romper. It's not super visible but the bottom part of this outfit is actually loose shorts. A darker colour and a longer sleeve is all you need to rock a romper throughout the colder months. It can be easily matched with your favourite pair of boots and tights and you're all set. I recently picked this one up at Target for an embarrassingly low price and was stunned at how well it fit. It's my first winter romper and I'm definitely sold on this look!

GUESS Spring 2015 Preview

I recently popped into the GUESS Spring 2015 shindig to see what we have to look forward to after the deep freeze coming up and it just made me pine for Spring all the more. Pastels, neon, bright pink and yellows, maxi dresses, distressed denim, polka dots and of course, florals are waiting for us at the end of the tunnel...

Here are a few pics of some of the upcoming trends to keep you warm through the winter!

Pumpkin Spice

It's official. Fall is here! How do I know? There's a nip in the air, I had my first caramel apple spice from Starbucks yesterday and Atwater Market is awash with pumpkins. Some are so tiny they could fit in the palm of my hand, Some are so large, I'm pretty sure they weigh more than three of me combined. Oh yeah, and students are cramming for midterms.

But I took a break from the books to stroll through the market recently and collect some small pumpkins for my doorway, an annual October tradition. They sit, waiting patiently for about a week or so before Halloween when I bring them in, carve them out, bake their seeds and display their scary visages for all the neighbourhood kids to see. For this casual fall outing, I donned a polka dot chiffon blouse I picked up when I was in Seoul last year, dark skinny jeans, and vintage vest and boots. Fall never felt so good!
                                                                      

Don't Worry, Be Happy

Hey Frockers! Debbie already gave you guys the Happy Lens scoop in an earlier post and I thought I'd show the different model that I received courtesy of Iris and Spy Optic. I went with a more square-shaped model than Debbie opted for, called "Discord" with the grey green lens. I have to say, I love the lenses. It hardly seems like I am wearings sunglasses, the view through the lenses is so clear and light! And despite this, I can still enjoy the sunny day without squinting and my eyes feel super protected.

In terms of the frames, I like the look of the Discord model, but they are just a bit too big for my face. I actually suggested Kyler try them and lo and behold, they look great on him! I'll be interested to see how they grow and develop their frame collection on the fashion side, as the frame styles are more on the sporty side. All in all, these are some great shades for those golden summer days!

                                                                         

The Printed Cardigan

Hey Frockers!

Just wanted to share with y'all my new favourite cardigan. I'm not usually one for matching the colour of my outfit in this way, but this ensemble felt quite alright. I picked up this cardigan recently at Target (my new favourite store) for a wallet-friendly 25$. I immediately fell in love with the print. A perfect piece to add to my fall wardrobe.

We've Fallen And We Can't Get Up

I have rediscovered the art of lying in a bed of golden leaves while staring up at spiralling leaves floating gently down, through the blue sky and yellow canopies, to the silent earth. I feel like the past few years, I've forgotten how to appreciate the beauty in autumn. I was always too busy complaining about how cold it suddenly became, with the dread of 6 months of darkness and soon-to-be frigid temperatures always on my mind. In celebration of this year's unseasonably warm fall, Debbie and I took advantage of likely the last warm weekend of the season and dusted off our short skirts and bare legs for one last hurrah before they go into hibernation.

Dressed To The Nines

Once in a blue moon, we like to cut loose with our coworkers away from our computers, files, deadlines and instant messengers. One such coworker, Miss Khanh (pictured above as the third Charlie's Angel), was actually the reason this blog came to pass. She even sent us an outlook appointment so we couldn't back out of it!

We convened with several other company cohorts at the recent RAW Art Show to support another coworker of ours, Michael Vesia (to be featured on the blog as the guest photographer in an upcoming post)! We also took this opportunity to feature the man behind the camera for most of our shoots, Mr. Kyler Kelly, looking dapper in a polka dot bow tie combo (ahem, courtesy of yours truly, Jackie the GF). 

All in all, it was an evening of fine dining, fine arts and fine attire to remember!
