music salad | spring 2013

Hey everyone! I don't know if you remember this, but I while back I sort of absentmindedly promised to talk about my music favourites in this post. Since then I've been meaning to do it but never gotten around to it. I have to say though, I'm the most fickle person to ever exist on this planet, and my music taste changes very rapidly through a short amount of time. Nonetheless, the normal "labels" are usually the same: rock, house pop, funk, etc. I have done some experimenting outside of my comfort zone, and   occasionally I pick up on some songs that I really enjoy. Ultimately I'd still go back to my rock stuff. 

That being said, the playlist above really is a mix of the music I've been enjoying. Right now I'm in my experimenting phase, so this playlist is different from the music that I usually listen to. And if you listen to it, you'd find that the songs are quite different from each other. So yeah, it's a music salad.

P.S. - If you're still interested, I'll make a post about my favourite bands some time soon :)

license to drive

what I wore: TINA GIA leather blazer, PULL&BEAR slouchy cream shirt, Forever21 denim shorts, ASOS boots, C&A bow earrings, independent store skull ring

License to Drive - Work Drugs

Hey everyone! This is a slightly grungier look than I usually go for, but I really quite like it! Again, this is a pre-scheduled post, due to my lack of time for blogging. I will be back though in about 2 weeks. Going on a school trip, so hopefully I'll do a photo diary or something. Also I'm utterly obsessed with these bow earrings. I think they add some feminine quality to the outfit.

Ugh I can't wait til all this madness with school ends - presentations, elections, exams, and all that fun stuff. I also really miss blogging constantly on my holidays. Just gotta tell myself to hang in there for a couple weeks and I can be my ultimate lazy-ass again :P

Also (I know I'm rambling on more than usual but I'm currently sitting on my bed and typing in the dark and I've had way too much caffeine today so what do you expect), I decided to activate my Twitter account again and start updating regularly. I know I usually leave links at the end of my posts, but if you would follow me on Twitter to stay updated, that'll be awesome! Same with my weibo for those of you who speak Chinese :) Click here for my Twitter and here for my Weibo.

Hey everyone! How's your weekend going? I'm having AP exams in 2 weeks and I desperately need to give up some of my blogging time for revising. Hopefully I won't be too MIA, so I've pre-scheduled some posts :)

Also, I'm planning on writing a post on my music favourites, so stay tuned!

style profile | bryant lee of fashoncrave

Hey everyone! I mentioned in my previous post that I intend on doing a blogger interview series called Style Profile, so I was super thrilled when Bryant from fashoncrave agreed to do this interview. I've been reading his blog before I even started mine, and I adore his unique sense of style. A lot of you have probably already seen his blog, but click here if you haven't! Bryant is super friendly and sweet and it was very nice to have had him answer these questions. Anyways I won't ramble on too much, so here are the questions and answers.

Hey Bryant! How are you? Tell us a little about yourself :)

I'm Bryant, and i'm currently 16 years old and i was born in the states however moved to hong kong when i was two.

What made you start your blog?

I started Lookbook for a while and after seeing so many great blogs from other Lookbookers, I decided to create one myself as well. 

What are some must haves or most worn items in your closet?

Chelsea Boots, skinny Jeans, lots of sweaters and a long coat. 

Favourite spring/summer trends for 2013?

I haven't really noticed any new trends lately, but I guess pastels? 

Favourite places to shop?

Cos, Zara, Asos, Lane Crawford, H&M

What do you like the most about Hong Kong?

The easy access to transport anywhere in hong kong in a short amount of time. 

What are some items on your wishlist right now?

Saint Laurent Sandals, Carven matching top and shorts and a pair of denim dungarees. 

Where do you get your inspiration?

Tumblr and lookbook are my main source of inspiration, just because i go on both the sites everyday. However i do get a lot of inspirations during my trips to Japan, street style there is really amazing. 

Do you hope to pursue a career in the fashion industry?

Yes i do, I would love to be a merchandiser/buyer in the fashion industry! 

What do you like the most about blogging?

It's a big space that keeps memories of our youth and it is such a great platform to express my personal style whether it's in fashion, lifestyle, traveling, etc. 

Do you have any tips for new bloggers/anyone who wants to start a blog?

Don't create a blog, because you want clothing sponsors, affiliates, otherwise after you gain those privellages you would feel that blogging is a job and you wouldn't want to partake in it any longer and you lose your passion that you've worked so hard on for a long time. Blog because you want to blog, you have an interest in blogging make it a hobby not a job! 

Thank you Bryant so much for answering the questions! Have a lovely day everyone :)

Hey everyone, so I hope you're liking the new post layout! And yay I finally got to post shoot outfits again. I have my exams in a month (can't wait till summer!), so posting may be pre-scheduled. I thought I'd share a recent outfit :)

Also, I'm thinking about doing some style profile posts, which are essentially interviews of some of my favourite bloggers, so let me know if there's an interview of a blogger that you'd like to see!

Harvest Moon - Poolside

Hey everyone! Hope you had a wonderful start of the week, because certainly I didn't (ha!). I've been extremely busy with school work and I haven't had the time to take outfit pictures so I thought I'd post some inspiration i've found on my Tumblr dash. 

Also, if you haven't noticed, I decided to switch the layout of my blog posts around and put that chunk of text at the bottom of the post. It just seems more symmetrical that way. So now it is officially 10:00 pm so I think I'll try to get some sleep and hope for a better day tomorrow! Take care everyone.
