Blame it on a very-late-to-the-game inspiration from Simone Marchetti’s street style photos of going full-throttle in wearing pajama set as well as other talented fashionistas, the seemingly nonsense pajama chic comes into trend throughout the recent seasons. What’s more, the vivid interpretation of Marc Jacobs, who tended to design a complete shocking pajama collection for Louis Vuitton, also profoundly enhanced the trend of pajama chic. As a huge fan of paneled pants, the silver linings over the sets are just too appealing to get over. Leave it all to sleepwear!

It does work out when going full-throttle in wearing pajama set, since silk pajamas are originally a sort of fancy sophistication. On the other hand, however, I’m not intended to dress like a funky dumpy who has just waken up and started to wander around for some leisure fun. Patent leather, especially for shoes, comes to my sight in the first place cuz its stunning texture is an edgy contrast to the soft silk. Still, some formal dressing elements as the slim-fit white shirt, printed tie, and leather bag ought to be matchy-matchy for a dashing ensemble, while accessorizing heavily with metallic cuffs( which I’d like to have a try) is somehow strongly recommended.

HARSH THE LEATHER

two-tone sneakers: NIKE FITSOLE
metallic shades with leopard panel: ZARA


Eventually I make it to match floral print with leather garments.For times I've been indulged in the antique and harsh texture of leather which acts as a contrast of the elegant and delightful floral print. These two elements, which I both adore, come together a kind of effortless-chic ensemble that is either vision flattering or physically wearable.Also I'm just gonna tell you that I'm heading off to THE MIDSUMMER STATION LIVE IN HONGKONG tomorrow which I've been so whole-heartedly longing for for a while that I can almost sense the the Silhouette of the Bombshell Blonde.

As a huge fan of denim,I will never get enough of spotting and snapping up those amazing denim pieces.I guess you've noticed the patchwork denim jeans from 3.1 Phillip Lim which I'd styled it with a navy top and a metallic clutch before, and what is more, my craze for denim has just been getting worse and worse.Thus, I'm thrilled enough to have found the multi-denim jacket from CHOIES.COM and this insanely spectacular hand-ripped denim shorts from Etsy. Profoundly inspired by the favor of dressing in double denim, again I put up an ensemble which not only involve the spirit of double denim, but also with texture mixing elements.And sure this sort of "faux fashion" will definitely appear again, again and again among my outfits.

Everybody wants a bomber jacket with elaborate print. Thus,that can explain why I think I'm fortunate enough to have found the seemingly humble KIINSELLA underground, where I spotted this spectacularly elaborate printed bomber jacket.Honestly speaking,peacock man is not who I am.That is to say, I am not the one who is willing to go too far or too hard in styling with the bomber cuz it has probably been quite a statement piece that shouts aloud itself.Head-to-toe print might be okay for the past me but not for the present one.Back to basic, same as the title of the notable album by Christina Aguilera, is the major topic I'd like to show from the following appendant garments.The simple black and white, the contrast of looseness and fitness, and also the most classic form of an eyewear...all those ordinary pieces shine on their ways when the origami satin belt is surprisingly added.

ORIENTAL LOVER ~shade of grey~

crane printed kimono: SUZUYA
transparent mirrored sunglasses: (similar one here from LLLESTEVA )

yellow shorts: ZARA
transparent hand clutch: KLEAR KLUTCH
colorblocking basketball sneakers: NIKE ZOOM KOBE VENOMENON 3



Yes! This has been already my third, or more accurately second, oriental inspired look so far.Even though I'm open-minded, and not afraid of those unusual judgments, it's honestly a little weird to wear head-to-toe kimono style in a outta-Japan country, especially, in China, where is filled with guys having incomprehensible prejudice against Japan.But still, the truth is, this kimono, which was spotted accidentally at SUZUYA when I was in Tokyo, has completely blown me away and has gotten me insane. Thus, I have to make attempt to do some stying and transform with this killer. 

It first appears in m mind the variation of color-blocking. So I choose the yellow shorts from ZARA to add more contrast accent while the sneakers from NIKE ZOOM KOBE VENOMENON III play an extra role to strike a balance and add more sporty chic statement.You know I quite like the idea of matching kimono with sneakers, for I consider it an intriguing combo of classic beauty and modern energy. And for the sneakers themselves, my affection towards them has been beyond my words could tell.

After times of stepping in your favorite department stores downtown or searching passionately on the online vintage shops for fresh pieces, you, as well as me, may probably touch a sense of aimlessness or boredom. All the time, we're attempting to be unique, to be creative, and to let ourselves stand out in the crowd. However, as department stores literally provide commonly prevalent garments, while we suddenly find vintage pieces fabulous but still a little stereotyped to wear, why don't we take a chance on some other things apart from those edges—— I mean, sportswear will be good!

I have to say that I'm not an athletic spirit.But jerseys, which providing wearing comfort and meanwhile embracing color-blocking designs, prove to be an alternative choice for wardrobes.Honestly, they are more commonly worn by mountains of guys.However, I'm not encouraging you to dress yourself with head-to-toe basketball jerseys.(otherwise you may probably be considered to be picking up a basketball from your straight roommates and rushing to the playground as a basketball idiot..) Since jerseys represent flexibility and oversize looseness, sharp and edgy pieces such as leather jackets or stunning shorts are advisable matching.Moreover, as I usually do, metallic accessories with alluring structures are also in need.

Fashion never compromises, and never will.Recently I went to Guangzhou and watched the "Culture Chanel" exhibition. “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. "Coco Chanel stated, "Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."In 1913, Coco Chanel founded a new store and created an innovative sporty style ——with Jersey dresses and sailor clothes.

Time flies, but the sporty spirit in fashion stands still.Especially when taking a glance at several Spring 2013 collections, you may probably sense the trend of sporty chic. Jackets and pants made of sportswear fabrics,sportswear silhouette,maxidress-with-sneakers combos...When it comes to styling a flowing chiffon dress nowadays, one may no longer just simply match a pair of edgy heels with it, instead, she will possibly choose a pair of spectacular sneakers to make a statement.

It was not until I found Vika Gazinskaya matching a cute couture dress with sneakers and cap did I made up my mind to attempt sporty style.In my look, just as I have mentioned before, I got the NIKE LUNARfly +3 sneakers at discount in Hongkong. Since the shoes themselves are of highly cathy attraction, I only select a "pajama suit" with monochrome stripe, which has been proved to be another tremendous hit in this season. Moreover, I place the oversize blue coat on shoulders as a response to the sneakers.
