Sailor Moon in Fashion?!

Hey guys. Just interrupting with a little bit of fandom mixed with fashion here. I was just googling my hatred for Chibiusa from Sailor Moon to vent, and I came across this Helios & Chibiusa collection by He LIU on tumblr.  

He LIU is a Portuguese fashion brand founded by Hélio Cabrita in 2013, a fashion design student Universidade da Beira Interior. His work was showcased in a fashion show for Master students along with several other outstanding student designers.

Here're some photos of the collection! I love the direct and conceptual influences of Chibiusa & Helios, a couple in the anime and manga series of Sailor Moon.

This is my favourite piece of sure, ready-to-wear, but also ready to turn a few heads!

Check out He LIU's facebook page and an article about Move-up, the fashion show to see the other designers' work. (Remember to google translate the page if you don't speak Portuguese lol)

P.S. Let me know your thoughts or if you're a fan of Sailor Moon (die-hard level not required even though I am) and we can become bffs.

Much love,

Round-up of things I can't have,

Hello! It's not really me to post photos that aren't taken by me because I feel like everyone can see them where they're from and it'd be slightly pointless of me to make a collection. But lately there have been so many amazing things appearing on my news feed I had to make a style post.

So here's my somewhat Spring Summer 2013 things-that-caught-my-eye round-up.

Miss Selfridge Cold Shoulder Bodycon Dress

Miss Selfridge Harness Dress

Miss Selfridge Black Rib Strap Maxi Dress

Topshop Hater vest

Topman Purple Dork Hi-roll T-shirt

(all via F3 Singapore)

Dr Martins studded sandals

PS. I cannot wait for Topshop to open in Hong Kong. And another Jack Wills is opening in Festive Walk. I sure hope everyone's wallet is well prepped for the huge hit it's going to get very soon (!!!)

Be well,

Ultimate lust item this summer!

So summer is right around the corner (actually pretty much arrived already in Hong Kong), and of course it is the best excuse to stock up some new items. The neon trend is huge right now and chiffon still being a big staple, but today I'm not gonna talk about clothes.

I'm ran across this on facebook, Net-a-porter.com's update to be exact, and I instantly fell in love with this pair of sunnies. They are Carven's Anastasie flip-up round-frame acetate sunglasses. My favourite part though is how it can flip-up (duh, as you can tell from the name):

I also love that it comes in this gorgeous hot pink, the bold green and of course the classic brown. This is a total new spin on Lady gaga's mickey mouse sunnies, but so much more chic. But it goes without saying, chic comes at a /painful/ price. GBP216.67 to be exact, and that's about HKD2700. Ouch.

Even though I'll have to look for a far cheaper alternative, it is definitely an inspiration for me this summer to go bold and accessorize. 

In other news, what do you think about these? 

At a fraction of Carven's price, I think they might just make up for not being able to get the Anastasies. Plus black helps me mourn. Tis' true what Gaga says, something shitty must be going on somewhere.
