[Channeling: Monochrome Emma Watson]

Sensing a pattern with Emma Watson's style while in Madrid for Noah premiere.  The starlet was spotted in two different looks that shared 3 same keywords: monochrome, jumpsuits, and chic.

Casual Monochrome

Spotted when out and about on the street of Milan, Watson totally nailed the term effortlessly chic with her laid-back getup of current must-have items: overalls and slip-ons.  Working with her petite frame, Watson went with a fitted shirt and overalls instead of baggy ones and with a little trick up her trousers' hems to elongate her legs by showing a sliver of skin.

Classy Monochrome

 For her Noah Madrid Premiere red (...or blue) carpet look, Watson took a 180〫〫turn with her look, stunning the crowd with a plunging monochrome jumpsuit from J Mendel.  While maintaining minimalism in the clothing department, Watson did some creative accessorizing in the beauty department.  Watson had these series of gold barrettes running along the side of her head in an arrow-like formation to keep her side-swept in place, which by the way not only complemented the plunging neckline perfectly but also added some cutting-edge punk touch.  And last but not least, a sultry note from the bordeaux lips shade completed the whole sexy in a classy way look.

[What to Wear: Saint Valentine's Day]

 

 - Coco Chanel -

I know those who are working (and celebrating) on Valentine's day this year can totally relate to what Madame Coco was saying, what's with Valentine's Day falls on a weekday and approaching in 1200 hours.  Oh mon Dieu!

So, for you who still have no idea what to wear for tomorrow's dinner date or night out with your gal pals...worry not, here's some ideas inspired by color palette from the lovely quote above (hint: matching top-bottom to the rescue...)

 Look No.1

With the exposed-midriffs suit trend exploding on this season's runways, it will be awful to not embrace this very trend on a day where it's okay to be a little bit exposé. To tone down the high level of fierceness bare midriffs will bring, pick soft colors like blushing pink for that innocence kinda feeling.

   1.ARGYLE & OXFORD V Bralette/2.ARGYLE & OXFORD Box Pleated Skirt/3. LA MER COLLECTIONS Retro Tassel Wrap/4. ZARA Pointed Mary Jane/5. KATE SPADE Sailor's Knot Ring/6. KATE SPADE Skinny Mini Bow Ring/7.M.A.C A Fantasy of Flowers Lipstick in Rose Lily/8. ZARA Striped Minaudiere Clutch

Look No.2

It's not a crime to wear striped B/W matching top-bottom, especially with this ruffle cuffs crop top that gives the whole minimalist look a feminine spark.  Add some red-pink combo to avoid looking like you just got out from an old B/W movie.

 

1. ZARA Striped Top with Frilly Cuff/2. ZARA Striped Pencil Skirt/3.ZARA Chain & Link Necklace/4.ZARA Leather Wide Heel Sandal/5.YSL Glossy Stain in Rose Tempura/6.SALVATORE FERRAGAMO V-Day Collection Bracelet/7.KATE SPADE Marry Me iPhone Case/8.KATE SPADE Ooh La La Tobyn Bag   

Good luck and have a fabulous Valentine's Day or Singles Awareness Day as A.Wang might say ♥

[London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013: Steal Street Style]

I always fancy the preppy and quirky style roaming the streets of London.

The preppy style gives out this signature Brits classy spirit while the quirkies show a different side of the Brits in an eccentric way, make them fascinating to watch.

And...my days cannot get any better when these two styles get together during the London Fashion Week.

So, in celebration of the variety and uniqueness London street style brings, here are 4 preppy and 4 quirky styles worth stealing from the LFW S/S'13 fashion crowd ♥

Look No.1  

 A classic school-girl style gets a bit fierce twist from the leather skirt and the red lips. 

1.TOPSHOP Structured Blazer/2.MISS SELFRIDGE CutOut Shoulder Shirt/3.MISS SELFRIDGE Salt and Pepper Sweat/4.RIVER ISLAND PU Zip Mini Skirt/5.DOROTHY PERKINS Wine Gem Skinny Waist Belt/6.PIED A TERRE Gibbran Leather Block Heel Loafers/7.TOPSHOP Leather Geo Panel Tote Bag/8.ILLAMASQUA Human Fendamentalism in Liable/9.Plastic Headband

 

Look No.2

Red and Bordeaux proven to collide in harmony, as well as the Brit Royal signature Tartan with the American scholar signature Varsity Jacket.

1.RIVER ISLAND Check Shirt/2.J.W. ANDERSON X TOPSHOP Varsity Jacket*MUST-HAVE*/3.RIVER ISLAND Coated Mini Skater Skirt/4.DOROTHY PERKINS Union Jack Clutch/5.DOROTHY PERKINS Wedge Hi-Tops/6. RIVER ISLAND Print Jeepers Peepers Retro Sunglasses/7.MICHAEL KORS Chain Link Watch 

Look No.3

Now we can know for sure that a pop of neon makes your preppy style fun, and a touch of lace+stilettos keeps your lady-likeness attached.

1.RIVER ISLAND White Pocket Shirt/2.J.W.ANDERSON X TOPSHOP Eyes Handknit Sweater*MUST-HAVE*/3.TOPSHOP Lime Lace Peplum Pencil Skirt/4.TOPSHOP Zip and Stud Clutch/5.JIMMY CHOO Abel Pointed Patent-Leather Pumps

Look No.4

It's never a crime adding a tinge of futuristic metallic to your timeless satchel for that extra flair on your classic dandy look   

1.RIVER ISLAND Pocket Blazer/2.BURBERRY BRIT Classic Shirt/3.MODCLOTH Just Dandy Skirt/4.ZATCHELS Satchel in Metallic Pewter/5.TOPSHOP Cross Locket Necklace/6.RIVER ISLAND Black Opaque 120 Denier Tights/7.DR.MARTENS 1461

Look No.5

It's mysterious how neon (most of the time) adds a spark of edginess these days, even to goth look.

1.JANE NORMAN Floral Print Jumpsuit/2.TOPSHOP Seamfront Waterfall Jacket/3.TOPSHOP UNIQUE Padded Toecaps Boots/4.MISS SELFRIDGE Pearl Mesh Wristwear/5.MISS SELFRIDGE Sparkle Bead Wristwear/6.BURBERRY Lip Mist in No.4 Chestnut/7.CAMBRIDGE SATCHEL COMPANY Fluoro Satchel

(P.S.: I try to find similar jumpsuit with a hint of burgundy so that you can wear matching burgundy lipstick, which is a huge trend right now, but this is the best I can come up with. Do pardon me)

Look No.6

Look effortlessly chic in a pair of boyish overall with a pair of womanly court shoes and a piece of grungy leather biker jacket tied around the waist

1.TOPSHOP Leather Biker Jacket/2.DOROTHY PERKINS Smock Top/3.TOPSHOP MOTO Dip Dye Denim Dungarees/4.TOPSHOP Skull and Glitter Ball Bracelet/5.Leather Camera Case/6.MILLER & JEEVES Gretchen Midi Clutch/7.KG KURT GEIGER Carey Pumps

Look No.7

Own this piece of leather overall and you've got it all

1.TOPSHOP UNIQUE Leather Pinafore/2.DOROTHY PERKINS Neppy Peplum Tee/3.MISS KG Arctic Boots/4.MARKSANDSPENCER AUTOGRAPH Leather Textured Shopper Bag/5.BUTTER LONDON Nail Lacquer in Lady Muck/6.TOPSHOP Chunky Oversized Square Sunglasses

Look No.8 

 A groundbreaking way on how to wear a pair running shorts with a pair of metallic pointed pumps and still look stunning

1.TOPSHOP Fur Lined Parka/2.TOPSHOP Knitted Drum Jumper/3.PUMA Running Shorts/4.RIMMEL KATE'S COLLECTION Lipstick in #001/5.TOPSHOP Cats Eye Sunglasses/6.TOPSHOP GLOBAL Glitter Toe Cap Shoes/7.MULBERRY ZigZag Alexa Bag 

(P.S.: here is another jumper that you can try, "inspired" by the 3.1.Phillip Lim Break Up jumper)

I dunno if you notice that I re-create all the looks using pieces from (mostly) UK brands.  I find this "keep it British" concept aptly challenging to the LFW theme.  oh yeah...and also, cos' I'm a loyal fan of Topshop.

Well, hope you enjoy it and get inspired.
