City of Sin, The Asian Version






Photography class today with fashion notorious photographer Kary Kwok. Finally get to use that Canon 500D my bf bought but never ever used. So today we learned about how to use lighting, IOS, stuff like that. Played around with the camera was great, especially on the 18th floor of our glass built school, got a glimpse of this Asia Sin City . The view was great as seen on the first picture.

I felt a little rebellious today, so decided to be brave and wear the lace corset i got from forever 21 with just bra on (Its pretty hard to do that in such a traditional city where in metro subway people were glaring like hell).

Threw a pair of 2.99USD nerdy glasses on to cover up my lazy eye make up work with just eye liner. Leather hooded jacket, and rocked with Alexander Wang boots i got from internet which was probably a replica due to only 400HKD.

True Religion Billy jeans never lets me down, only my fat ass does the opposite.

The flower i am holding is the authentic Chanel flower Kary let us shoot around today. Its worth 1000USD JUST FOR THAT since its hand made in Paris. Good thing my fingers were clean or i would have taken 500 away from it!

BTW i believe everyone knows STella McCartney is designing for Target right?
Can't Wait at all!

1950's gal in 2010 Hong Kong

Our fashion class had to work on a one day noticed sudden project. The assignment is about shooting outside with different lighting. Apparently, there was no light that day since the sky was doing us no good but rained cats and dogs. 

Due to our short notice, we had to go crazy shopping after school at 5:30pm. So my groupmates Sauling, and Sophia ran to Mong Kok (Hong Kong)'s second hand store to search for cheap and nice treasure. So within a few hours, we came up with this because we fell in love with this $10 HKD vintage dress. The hat was also bought on one of Hong Kong's Woman Street for tourist to shop at. The vintage chanel belongs to me, bought at Houston Buffalo Exchange for like 50USD which was such a bargain and in alright condition!





The model's name is Daphni Hilton from Elite NY. She is awesome and fun, you can book her from Star People HK as well!


Our photographer is Earl Wan, he is a great urban photographer from London, I loved accent and how energized he was. Especially we are a buncha kids trying to work out the whole project, he was patient and lovely. check out his work!

Cheers

Mulberry for Target







So I have been madly in love with Mulberry ever since the hot pink panther pattern came out. AND GUESS WHAT? I GOT IT TODAY..from USA's Target!....Mulberry and Target are doing a collaboration which is super great and CHEAP!

The big bags are only 49.99 USD and small cute ones are up to 14.99 only! super fabulous!

I have heard that they are only allow to sell each customer 2 bags at one purchase due to its limited quantity. But for some reason, my mother got me ALL THE BAGS AT ONCE..craziness! That woman is awesome and my favorite. SO RUN TO TARGET LADIES! or try to shop online if there is any more bags left!

You can make anything into a dress





Last night, as I was going to Elements, Hong Kong, to grab a "Bloody Maria" and catch a movie, I pass by the new small fashion exhibition they were having.
The main idea is selling ipad and iphone. As you can see, the first picture has huge ipads hanging on the ceiling. Those ipads are actually screens that contain photos of dresses. Then the following photo shows different dresses made out of iphone protectors. My favorite one is the gold dress. Those little crystals sparked the hell out of my eyes. 
Quite interesting. Afterall, fashion is all about creativity.
You can make anything into a dress.
