Yellow Power

Hi all,

Happy Friday! Yeah, you made it! :))

I initially wanted to create a monochromatic look with my Club Monaco yellow shirt, Forever 21 sweater, and Zara skirt. It was all well planned...until the temperature dropped yesterday.  I couldn't stand bare legs with my mini skirt anymore. When things like this happen, my versatile boyfriend jeans always comes in handy. So no mono-look for this time, please stay tuned for the next one.


嗨亲们,
周五愉快!总算熬到这周的尾巴啦!
本来呢,我是想穿我Club Monaco的黄色上衣,Forever21的针线毛衣和Zara的小短裙来打造一身一色系着装的。结果,天不作美,昨天突然降温,根本没办法穿我的小短裙了。每当这种时候,我的百搭牛仔裤总是能派上用场。好吧,这次没办法展现一身一色系的着装了,下次咯!

How To Dress For Music Festival

Hi all,

It feels summer is getting closer and closer. You know what does that mean? It means Music Festival season is just around the corner!! Yeah! 

Today I'd like to share some tips with you on how to dress for music festivals. :)

嗨亲们,
随着夏天的脚步越发临近,你知道这意味着什么嘛?意味着音乐节气就要到啦。今天呢,我就希望跟大家分享一些音乐节穿着的小心得。:)

1. Wear Something Sheer and Comfortable
The temperature could get very hot during music festivals, and with the sticky and humid weather, it is better to wear something light and breathable.

1。穿得薄一些,舒服一些
音乐节一般都是夏天开始举办,所以天气可能已经非常炎热了。穿一些薄纱的或者蕾丝的衣服会比较透气,束缚感也不至于太强。

music-festival-look, fedora-hat, chiffon-trench-coat, burgundy-cross-body-bag

2. Wear Comfortable Shoes
Shoes for sure are playing a key factor when dressing up for summer music festivals. You want to feel comfortable yet look stylish. Pumps are not recommended (I learnt my lesson through the hard way). Flats are making its come-back on the runway this season, so hey, why not take advantage of that. If you'd like to have some lifting, then a chunky pair of heels can also do. 

2。穿一双舒服的鞋子
在搭配音乐节服饰的时候,鞋子绝对占了一个不小的板块。既要穿着舒服,还要看起来时髦。我就强烈建议不要穿高跟鞋。平底鞋今天刚好很流行,为什么不好好利用一下这个流行趋势呢?如果你想给自己增加点高度的话,也可以选择一些粗跟的鞋子。前提当然是要穿着舒服。

3. Put on a hat
Hat is not only one of the most incredible accessories that can add more character or statement to an outfit, but also would be able to protect you from the brutal sun.

3。戴顶帽子
我建议大家戴顶帽子。帽子不仅仅可以给整身增加一点个性的元素,还可以帮你挡太阳呢。简直是两全其美!

4. Bring A Light-weight Jacket/Coat
Although it’s very hot and sticky during the day, it could also get a little chilly at night. So preparing yourself for that chilly and windy night will be a good idea. When don't need it, you can just tie it around your neck- it not only looks stylish and effortless chic, but also could prepare you to make the perfect transition from day to night. (Trust me, it will come in handy!)

4。随身带一件单薄的外衣
尽管在白天的时候,气温会比较炎热,但是到了晚上,可能会降温。所以随身带一件薄薄的外衣会非常有用的。当白天热的时候,也可以绑个结把它披在肩上,这样看起来既有随行的时尚感,还会帮你晚上挡风呢。

5. Easy On Accessories
When attending those outdoor concerts and festivals, I usually choose to go easy on accessories. I would definitely leave my statement necklaces, rings, bracelets and such at home because I'd like to be as comfortable as possible considering the fact that I might be standing, jumping around and walking for a full day.

5。 减少首饰
我一般会把像什么项链啊,戒指啊这样的首饰留在家里。毕竟你想要整身活动自如,舒服。考虑到你可能需要站着,跑跳,走动一整天,减少身上的重量和束缚感会比较好。

Hope some of these tips are helpful. If you have any suggestions or experience (good or bad) that you'd like to share, I would be more than happy to hear them. :))
希望我今天跟大家分享的这些小心得会对你有帮助。如果你有任何建议或者经历想要分享的话,我会非常愿意聆听的。

Have a great Music Festival season!
渡过一个愉快的音乐节气吧!

School Girl

Hi all, 

Happy Tuesday! For us movie lovers who live in Toronto, Tuesdays are definitely something to celebrate because movie tickets are almost half price in theatres!! Mr. S and I are going to watch Godzilla tonight! Have you seen the latest version yet? Any good? 

嗨亲们,周二愉快!
对于我们这些居住在多伦多的电影爱好者来说,每周二都是一个特别的日子。因为电影院的门票几乎半价哦。我和S先生准备今晚去看哥斯拉。你们看过最新的这个版本了嘛?好看吗?

Why is this blog post named "School Girl"? Two reasons! First: This navy-and-white sailor-inspired top I'm wearing was actually my high school uniform (No, I'm not kidding!). The other day when I was going through some old stuff, I found this top at the very back of my closet. It surely brought up plenty of memories, good and bad. I figured why not try to restyle it and create something magical and fun. 

Second reason: We shot this set of photos at my old school- University of Toronto. I missed the feeling of going to school; listening to professors' stories and lectures; doing group projects with classmates; studying overnight at Robarts library before final exams. I missed the time period when all I had to worry about were my grades and what courses to take...Well, but just like many students, I was complaining about the stress and couldn't wait to get out that "fire zone"! Now, I miss the simplicity of school. I remember when I was still in school, not one person (not two, but countless people) have warmed me: "Enjoy your time at school right now. You will miss it!" 

为什么这篇博文会起名叫“学院女孩”呢?两个原因!第一,这件海军试上衣其实是我高中时穿的制服。前几天我在整理旧东西时,在衣柜的最深处发现了它。我当时立即萌生出想要重新搭配它的冲动,于是便做了这么一个好玩又自我感觉有创意的事情。
第二呢,我们本次的拍摄地点选在了我的母校-多伦多大学。我真的很想念那种在上课空档穿梭于校园之间的感觉;那种坐在教室里聆听教授讲课的时光;那种与同学们共同完成功课的时候;还有在图书馆里学习一整晚的拼搏劲。我以前总是抱怨,恨不得早点脱离这个水深火热的地方。不过现在看来,当时的我只需要担心学分怎么样,选哪个老师的课而已。。我记得不只一个人告诫过我:“珍惜现在的学生生活吧,你以后会怀念的!”

Beauty Review- Anna Sui Loose Powder

Hi all,

Today, I'd like to share with you a classic star product that has captured thousands of fans' hearts- Anna Sui Loose Powder.

Although it may not be as popular in North America as in Asia, Anna Sui would always be one of the most important childhood highlights and memories of mine. When I was in high school, every girl wanted to own an Anna Sui product- from the beauty mirror, dolly girl perfume, lipsticks, foundations to eye shadows. 

Even though many of Anna Sui's products were on my shopping list, loose powder was always THE one that I truly desired to try. However, I couldn't afford it. Until last week, this Anna Sui dream was paused for few years. That childhood memory was awaked again when I saw Anna Sui's beauty counter at The Bay. Then, I pulled the trigger this time. 

嗨亲们,
今天我想跟大家分享一下我在使用了明星产品-安娜苏蜜粉之后的一些心得。亚洲女孩对于安娜苏这个牌子应该并不陌生。我记得早在我上高中时,这个品牌的东西就已经风靡整个亚洲了。无论是他们家的洋娃娃香水,还是魔镜等化妆工具系列都可谓是每个女孩梦寐以求的产品啊。尽管当初我对很多安娜苏的化妆品都想下手,但是最令我欲罢不能的还是他们家的蜜粉。不过我当初买不起,所以就先把这个安娜苏的梦搁置了。直到上个星期当我在Bay商场看见他们家的专柜时,这种儿时的回忆又油然而生。于是,我把它纳入了囊中。

The new and improved formula provides a double soft-focus effect with a well-moisturized finish which not only can offer a lighter touch, but also be able to get rid of that yellow-ish skin tone. One more thing I LOVE about is its signature scent which is magnificently refreshing and unique.  

这个经过改良后的蜜粉不仅拥有更加细致的质地还会给肌肤带来应有的滋润。当我把它涂上脸后,感觉皮肤立刻变得更加透亮了,而且那种蜡黄的肤色也没有那么明显了。还有,他们家出了名的香味异常的清新。涂得过程中可令人享受了。

Although this product is a little bit pricy ($48 CAD), I have to say it's totally worth it.  Now it's official- my Anna Sui obsession is back! 

(F.Y.I. If you are wondering why my cat Yoda is in the last picture, it's because he kept bugging me when I was taking this set of photos. So I figured to invite him to the photo shoot! He is totally a camera whore! Cheese...)

尽管这个产品并不便宜,但是我觉得相当值得。我想现在可以说,我对安娜苏的钟爱被重新唤起!(如果你好奇为什么我们家猫咪会出现在最后一张照片里的话,那是因为我在拍这组照片时,它一直在旁边闹我,所以我就邀请它一起来照相啦。它简直就是一个天生的拍照达“猫”嘛!)

Lace On Lace

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday!

With today's look, I played with two of the most classic fashion elements- black and white combo + lace on lace ensemble to embrace the long-awaited spring weather.


If you are following me on Instagram, you probably already knew the story behind this white lace shorts. Although it's a cute little piece, I have to admit that the vibe it brings out is too casual and playful, so how to transform it to a more adult appropriate look is definitely a challenge. It thus became the centre piece for me to play around with when putting this look together. While browsing through my closet, I found this lace top with a white collar and grabbed it without a second thought. But then, the look just got a little bit too predicable (a.k.a boring), so I decided to put on this sleeveless blazer I got from Zara last year which I have never gotten a chance to wear. Voila! The look instantly became completed and polished, and most importantly got rid of that beach feel and high school vibe.

嗨亲们,周二好!
对于今天的这身穿着呢,我选择了两个重要的时尚元素-黑配白+蕾丝搭蕾丝来迎接这个迟到的春天。 如果你们关注我Instagram的话,就会知道关于这条白色蕾丝小短裤背后的故事了。尽管这条短裤非常可爱,但我必须承认它确实看起来比较小女孩也过于随性,所以要想把它穿出一种气质感强的成熟风的话,还是需要在搭配上下一番功夫的。所以我就以这条裤子作为这次搭配的起点。当我在衣橱里发现了这件带白领的黑色蕾丝上衣时,我立马就看重眼了,觉得特别搭。但是感觉整身看起来缺乏新意感,创意度不够高。我于是决定把这件白色的马甲试西装穿上来看看。结果,整个味道立刻焕然一新,更加具有立体感,同时,也摆脱了那种孩子气和高中生的感觉。

还有哦,本次时尚周的其中一个赞助商Milestone每天都会选出一名幸运者获得他们提供的50加元礼品卷。你只需要在我的网页上通过“赞”脸书和推特来支持我就可以有机会获得这份礼品哦!好了,不多说了,购物开心啦!

Hudson Jeans Fall Preview

Hi all, hope you had a great weekend!

While spring is taking its sweet time to arrive, many brands are starting to showcase their fall and winter collections now.   Last week, Hudson Jeans held their fall preview at the beautiful Brassaii restaurant and lounge. Although I heard a lot about the place prior to this event, I had never been able to pay a visit. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately attracted by this unique loft space- high ceilings, industrial pipes and brick walls. My friends all know that I have a huge THING for LOFT. But since hudson jeans collection was very attention grabbing too, the space not only didn't steal the thunder but actually added more character to the preview.


嗨亲们,周末过得怎么样?
当春天的脚步还如同乌龟跑步般缓慢进行时,许多品牌已经开始展示他们今年秋冬的设计了。美国洛杉矶高端牛仔品牌Hudson Jeans上个星期在一个颇有艺术气息的休闲式餐厅举办了他们秋季系列的预展。我之前就听很多朋友介绍过这家叫做Brassaii的餐厅风格非常独特,值得光顾,不过一直都没有机会去看看。所以这次一走进去,整个人就被里面的高挑开敞空间,工厂试设计所吸引。了解我的人都知道我对LOFT的情有独钟。不过还好,Hudson Jeans的整个秋季系列非常养眼,所以这个独特的空间不但没有抢去它的风头,反而还加分了。

There is definitely a wide variety of styles can be expected from its fall collection- from rock n' roll vibe with a sexy twist to classic flare with a playful touch. I have already added not one, not two, but three pieces onto my list (I know! Need to start saving up). As the quality is truly amazing, it's no surprise that the price range is fairly higher as well. One pair of jeans will cost you around $200. But I think it would be a great investment and versatile piece that can last you a long time. We all know that a perfect pair of jeans can be worn either as a casual piece for going to brunch with your girlfriends or as a statement piece for that hot date. 

不难发现,Hudson Jeans的秋季系列充满了各种各样的款式和设计-从摇滚性感风到经典淑女风-他们家可谓应有尽有。我看重了三条呢。(哎,我也知道啊,要开始攒钱了)。因为他们家牛仔裤的质量确实没话说,所以价格也就相应的要贵一些。一条裤子在200加元左右。确实不算便宜,但我觉得一条质量好的牛仔裤可以穿很久。而且吧,找到合适的话,一条裤子不仅可以穿去跟朋友们吃个中饭,还可以穿出性感的感觉来应付那个约会呢。

If you can't bear with the long wait till this collection hits store in fall, you can also go check out their spring pieces right now. You never know. You might just end up finding that perfect pair you have been looking for. Good luck!

我知道现在离秋季还是有很长的一段时间。不过,不妨去看看他们家现在上架的春季系列啊,说不定你就会找到那条钟意的呢。
