Dress For the Stage

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. If you live in Canada, you weekend properly hasn't over yet. Happy Victoria Day. :)

I was very honoured to be the host for the First North America Guzheng competition Award Gala. 

When I told Mr.S and my friends about this opportunity, the first thing they asked was: "Guzheng? What is that?" So I think it's my responsibility to explain it a bit :)

Guzheng is an ancient Chinese instrument which has a very long history and is considered as the national treasure of China. 

In order to dress properly for the gala and to embrace the Spring feel, I picked up a glamourous pink dress and paired it with a three-tone killer pumps for the night. :)
 








I very very much appreciate the opportunity that the organization has given me and truely glad to see some amazing performers showcasing this traditional Chinese culture.




Thank you so much for reading!

Rainy Day

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday!! How did your week go? My week has been running by super fast and I can't even believe it's Friday already....I guess this should be the sign of a best week ever? :)

I thought since Spring has officially arrived in Calgary, I could actually put my knee boots, leather jacket, and faux fur vest into my suitcase to let them sleep through the warm weather. But the weather in Calgary this week has been a little bit moody, so I feel that putting my favourite faux fur vest on can not only give this look a finished touch, but also can keep me warm from the raining and chilly weather. 











If you are wondering why I am pressing my head with my hand, it's because it was raining, so I was trying to use my hand to protect my hair from being ruined by the rain...Sorry for being a bit awkward here HAHA 

Thank you so much for reading. Hope you all will have a wonderful weekend. :)

Spring Adventure, Casual Denim

Hi everyone,

Happy Mother's Day! Every mom is wonderful and deserves something special. Whether you are planning to give your mom a pleasant gift, or taking her out for a special dinner, or just giving her a nice phone call, hope you will have an incredible time with each other.:)

 


Mr.S and I went for a very nice bike ride around the city. We not only got good exercise, but also got a chance to explore the city. Calgary is truly a beautiful place and completely built for the Spring and Summer. There are many bike trails along the river, and by biking, we got to see the amazing city skyline, got to enjoy the nice and quite roads, and most incredibly, got to do something adventurous. 

While biking, we discovered this small shore along the river, we got attracted immediately and decided to do our next photo shoot there. It felt like a vacation. :)

Girl on Fire: Red Feather and Black Peplum

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! 

Some people have told me feather pieces are meant for the Winter since they create a heavy and cozy feel. But I decide to take a risk and try it for the first time for Spring. :)


I am very into the colour and flowy feel of this feather skirt. It was originally from Zara and I got it for a very reasonable price on E-bay.  I have always been a big fan of peplum as the shape and design is just so feminine and classic.  

In this outfit, I have put two of my favourite colour combos together: Black & Gold, and Black & Red. This glamour look is good for a special occasion, like your birthday party, or a special anniversary celebration with your significant other. :)

Sign of Spring: Floral and Leopard Print

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Hope your week has been going well so far!

We were out filming the next video while soaking in as much sun and getting as much Vitamin D as we can. :)




This is the perfect to-go outfit for going out for a brunch with your girl friends, taking your dog for a walk, or even just going out for a nice spring stroll. Floral is always one of the most popular choices for Spring as the print really brings out the blooming and colourful feel that Spring has to offer. In addition, by adding a coloured leopard print skirt, the whole outfit has a more playful and unique character to it.




 



Thank you so much for reading! Can't wait to share our next video with you. :)

Lace it up: Blue Skirt and Denim Shirt

Hi everyone,

Happy Sunday!!Hope your weekend is going great! It feels like there is no transition from Winter to Summer (Spring in Calgary doesn't seem exit lol). Last week was still snowing, and this week is already hot like Summer. Well, I have no complaints as I can finally put my skirt on and play with summer outfits. :)




Lace is just so classic and will never go out of style. By pairing a denim shirt and a skirt with a lace dress to create an effortless feminine, but not too over girly look. Adding a belt can not only tighten up my waistline, but also make the look more polished.
