Under the Sakura Tree

I just had the perfect getaway last week, left everything behind in London and escaped to Tokyo for a few days, it was great, did a lot of shopping and of course the food was just amazing!

Farewell 2014... Hello 2015!

First thing first.....(I'm the realest) Happy New Year to everyone! Wishing you guys an amazing year of 2015! 

2014 was almost like a roller coaster for me, I've been through some low times but most of all I think I learnt more about myself during the past year. Sometimes things might not work out as you wish it to be or as you imagined it to be, but in the end you'll find a way, you'll discover things that you haven't even thought of before, every broken plan can be a new opportunity that leads you to where you need to be. Just a little encouragement for whoever feels a bit lost, you will find a way no matter how hopeless you feel right now.

Having said that, thank you to all my lovely friends and family that have been there for me no matter what.

I feel truly blessed for having such amazing people in my life.

So here it is, bring it on 2015! I know this will be an amazing year! I cannot wait to see what opportunities will 2015 bring!

its....Christmas!

Merry Christmas guys! Wishing everyone a wonderful and lovely Christmas!

I spent the day with my family, catching up with them and later on at night my dad toke me to Robuchon a Galera, the food was just delish! Though I probably ate too much... but hey it's Christmas right!

This skirt that I'm wearing, if you guys remember I used it for my previous photoshoot, I don't know why but I felt like this was the perfect piece for Christmas, this outfit sort of reminds me a bit of the red riding hood except it's just black and white, a modern twist of the fairy tales perhaps.

Seeing stripes

I'm finally back home after a week in Japan! Did quite a lot of shopping when I was in Tokyo, and I can't wait to wear all the cute stuffs that I got!! I'm surely missing the busy streets around Ginza and Shinjuku!

One thing I'm happy about being back home is that I can see my family and my best friend. Like today Silvia and I were just catching up, talking for 4 hours straight! No wonder she started to have a soar throat again haha!

Clearly I was in the mood for camel and stripes, but I feel like they compliment each other rather well. I'm really liking stripy jumpers, and there's no secret that I'm obsessed with fur collars....! but it just makes the outfit a bit more interesting in my opinion specially this one, it's kinda quirky with the stripes.

Bananas and Chunky Knits

Strolling down Covent Garden today with my girl Inez. Did some shopping before going on holiday tomorrow! Can't wait to see some sunshine, would be great for a change!

Lately I've become slightly obsessed with bananas illustrations, like this jumper and a pair of heels that I bought recently... don't ask me why but they just look fun to me. 

This Miu Miu jacket that I've got is one of my absolute favourite, the shape and the material feels just right and I love the big lapel! And of course the chunky scarf is just a life saviour, it keeps me from freezing, and the colour is quite sharp so it brightens up the outfit and makes it more effortless as well.

ps - I've got a halo on the 5th pic haha

Blue Velvet

Here it is the outfit I worn on the day of our exhibition.

I opted for quite a formal look, this outfit is all about textures, when I saw this suit in Topshop I knew I had to have it in my life. The colour, the shape and texture are just perfect, I couldn't ask for anything more from a suit. 

And I just love the contrast of the royal blue with the gold, it makes all the accessories pop a lot more.

I was an angel living in the garden of evil...

The latest and final shoot for my styling course! This time the theme is renaissance, and I have to admit that this was my favourite shoot so far! Had so much fun styling and customising the halo and the skirt---I'm so wearing it for Christmas! 

I think the inspiration is pretty obvious, I was inspired by the renaissance painting of the Virgin Mary, there's something about the way the painters painted Her, She just seemed really elegant but melancholic to me.

So here it is my own interpretation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a little bit more vain and over the top but still modest and elegant.

Hope you guys love this shoot as much as I do!

Pastels and Studs

Last sunday, my friend, Inez and I went to Hoxton Hotel for some brunch, let me tell you that it was the perfect start of the day. What's better than brunch on a lazy sunday?!

 The environment of the Hoxton hotel is just really cool, for some reason it reminds me a little bit of Brooklyn, well... funny is that I've never been there but to me that is how Brooklyn should look like!

I felt a bit baroque that day for sure, not sure if it was those big hoop earrings or this amazing studded shorts, as we were just out for brunch and of course some xmas shopping I wanted to dress it down by pairing a 3 tone sweater.

Out of the Blue

Here it is the photoshoot for the scandinavian shoot we did a few weeks back!

For this shoot it's all about being minimal and quite clean, but to me it's more fun when something looks a little bit more quirky, just in the slight details I paired it with some trainer socks with derby and rolled the trousers up, it almost reminded me of that tall awkward boy we all know from middle school. And of course the bomber jacket was the main piece of this shoot that made everything a lot more interesting, thanks to my designer friend Anna Kim for the piece.
