JW Anderson X VERSUS VERSACE (VIDEO)


"The idea behind the collection was about a modern, sharp, Versus Versace, with a focus on the shared wardrobe, a man in a woman's wardrobe, and a woman in a man's.” - JW Anderson

I couldn't agree more, I support his view on the shared wardrobe. Unisex is so relevant now! Another gender-bending collection from a genius. So current, playful, and fearless!

Last Friday Night - Street Style

I was digging into my closet and look what I found... I'm still in love with the pieces I got from the Versace for H&M collection. With the weather getting a bit better, why not go out in London with a splash of monochrome jeans and printed top?! I'm such a fan of mixing prints and colours. Oh I just love being graphic! What do you guys think?

Vintage Street Style

Monday night was a vintage themed gig at the 12 Bar Club in Soho. I was out with my friends Edward and Sean on a night of chilled out drinking and live music by local bands. Sean was the lead vocals in one of them groups.

Here is my take on vintage street style: crumpled jacket by Folded and Hung Philippines, shirt by Diesel, jumper by Esprit, jeans by Label Lab London, shoes by Topman, necklace by H&M, watch by Casio, glasses by Zara, hat and pocket square courtesy of Edward. What do you think?

Edward's look according to him is vintage with a twist. Its Vivienne Westwood written all over it and I'm loving the punk-ish vibe to it. The suit was tailored by Edward himself, glasses from Tom Ford, and everything else is VW.

Mr Pouty and Mr Smirk!

In between sets I managed to do a bit of photography for my Instagram (@orion3485). I couldn't resist taking photos in such a grungy yet cool venue.

Vogue Festival 2013

April 27-28, 2013 was a weekend of Vogue-ness in London. Fashion lovers gathered at the Southbank Centre to enjoy the exciting line up of activities such as hair and make up sessions, pseudo-Vogue cover photo shoots, and a Vogue shop with loads of enticing merchandise. Throughout the day, talks were held and given by various fashion professionals from Vogue and the fashion industry. It was indeed the weekend every fashion aficionado was looking forward to...

I'm not going to do a review of the event. I just wanna share the photos of bloggers I identified, and some street style fashion that I adore.

New Year, Snow, and Baby

Oh my! I neglected my blog. That is not the right way to start the year. 2012 has been a rough year for me, I hope It gets better this year. Celebrated New Year's eve in London, watching the spectacular annual fireworks display by the London Eye. What can I say? hmmmm not the best view from where I was watching it, but the crowd was amazing. The New Year spirit was all around. People were shouting, dancing, drinking, kissing... it was the perfect time of year to PARTEY! Oh the after party... I don't want to remember. Too much alcohol, the thought of it makes me wanna barf.

2nd of January, I had to rush back to Birmingham. There was a "present" waiting.... Well, that's what the midwife call him. No! I'm not a dad! But yes, I was my best friend's birthing partner together with her husband. It was an amazing experience! To be part of it and to witness the miracle of life. I have assisted in some deliveries as a nurse, but this time it feels different. Knowing that you're gonna be part of this little fella's life is such a wonderful thing. This little angel is sooo adorable and errr.. extremely cute! A little bit of heaven on earth. Awww love him to bits!



Then a few weeks after, snow fell. Yay! Snowball fights and first time building a snowman. Oh we built our snowman in our balcony. So much effort carrying snow up four levels to our flat. Yeah it was lovely having the snowman for a few days then it rained. I miss him already, the lovely smile on Mr. Snowy.







Till next blog post...
