A Cold Weather Day's Outfit

It's September! Chilly days are about to start. I particularly love cold weather outfits but being in the tropics, I don't really get a lot of chance to wear them.

In this look, I'm wearing a checkered poncho jacket from a Japanese brand, Aton Rose over a black dress, black stockings and my white VANCL boots. I also have my panda earmuffs and a handmade flower accessory for my wrist.

Never Grow Up

In this look I'm wearing a black and white polka dotted chiffon dress, DIY distressed black tights, wheel shoes and a bear string bag. I added a white head accessory and a fancy pearl necklace.

You might notice that I wear a lot of black and white coordinates but believe me, I don't usually purposely do this. It just so happen that whenever I try to mix in match my clothes, the black always pairs up with the white. Does anyone else encounter this problem? (๑¯д¯๑)

Zipper Magazine (September 2013): Fashion Inspiration

Zipper is one of my favorite Japanese fashion magazine. Here are some of the inspirational looks in their September issue. Enjoy! ♥

Summer to Autumn Fashion

The September issue of Zipper (ジッパー) magazine shows how you can make your summer clothing suitable for the chilly autumn months.

The clothes featured are from the famous Japanese brand Spinns.

Guess our summer clothing does not need to be back at the bottom of our bureau. Thank you, Zipper and Spinns for these lovely ideas!
