METALLIC CUFF

I've been in love with these gold cuffs ever since I first saw them on Tommy Ton's blog with those black Prada platforms. A month of two ago, Asos' iPad magazine featured these gold anklets. Sadly, it wasn't available at that time. I put those cuffs on my waitlist and yesterday, an email notification was sent that these gold charms are for sale ! Get your pair of these cuffs from ASOS before they sell out here!

ON THE STREET...

I know spring is coming up but I can't help but wear black and navy especially when these ahorta have the two colors in it. The jacket is a great piece whenever you feel like perking up your casual outfits. (photos by christy)

ORIENT EXPRESS

This is what I wore for this year's Chinese New Year. Okay well, I had to cheat a bit with the photos as they were not shot on the holiday since there was not any reliable photographer at that time. Anyhow, I think the last time I recall wearing a Cheongsam was like 12 (or more?) years ago? I personally love how they accentuate the body's curves but I never found one I like until I encountered this teal number. plus with the sequined details, it's a major love for me.

M I N G D Y N A S TY

Currently hiding from all the crowd that's gathering in my house during this Lunar New Year thanks to a sudden diarrhea I got earlier in the morning. I'm not going to be narccistic for the day, instead I'd like to share this particular model that I've been drawn to. Say hi to Xi Meng Yao. Or more familiarly, Ming Xi.

At a towering height of 178cm, this Shanghainese beauty made her dirst debut at Givenchy's fall 2010 couture show, a first for Asian. As if that's not cool enough, she was handpicked by the fashion house's own designer, Riccardo Tisci to strut the catwalk. Ming Xi believes that Chinese models play an important role when China is a growing force within the luxury market.

CENTER PART

a quick update before I'm off to my chinese new year dinner with the family. I just realized that I have three balenciaga products on me as I'm typing the outfit details below. the cloudy weather may not lift my mood up but it's quite handy when I feel like taking my tights out for a walk. I thought that they would prevent mosquito bites but turns out their 'needles' can still poke through. Are all mosquitos that 'good' or is it just the ones living around my area?
