Finally in Felder

by cecylia on July 19, 2010

After eyeing the Felder Felder ring skirt for 3 months, I finally gave in to temptation. It was definitely worth the wait (and the price). The leather is so soft and when I walk the skirt literally rings! Plus, this skirt is made in England.

Recently I had a major wardrobe cleanup. I am a major hoarder and have way too much for what I am incapable of wearing. So finally after putting my foot down firmly (and taking a few bags to the local vintage shops), I have made some progress.

One rack got special attention. This is my work wardrobe rack standing behind me. It contains some pieces I own from the boutique paired with my vintage pieces. I have decided to let this rack be my main rack and the rest of my wardrobe is the ‘storage’ and I will rotate garments periodically. That is the plan.

Wearing a vintage top and cardigan with my tallest Marc Jacobs heart heels. I’m trying to wear my more ordinary shoes out (see in the background) before I wear the pairs I treasure, still sitting pretty in their boxes.

Do you remember that Karla Spetic cardigan I liked to wear up side down? See here =) I tested it on this vintage stripy number. See how the horizontal stripes became vertical? It’s magic! Oh by the way, Karla’s last name is pronounced ‘Sh-peti-ch’!

There may be some pieces you can recognize from the rack. Like the Zara tweed jacket in the middle of the rack, as seen here, or the vintage green dress, gifted by my auntie, at the end of the clothes stand, as seen here…

This top is one of my favourite vintage finds, it has gold lines all through it. Labelled a size 14, it still fits well and you should never judge a garment by its labelled size. Always try it on and see how it fits. The Chloe horse-shoe necklace is also a very lucky vintage find.

And since we’re on the topic of ‘rings’, recently I got 2 new rings- a squirrel, gifted by the beautiful Jess from whatwouldkarldo blog, and a lion. I love animal rings, they are finger pets!

What do you think of the Felder Felder skirt? What’s your favourite ring? Mind sharing?

Georgie in another Karla

by cecylia on June 24, 2010

This is may be my personal opinion but this violet silk dress maybe the most beautiful dress from Karla Spetic SS10 collection. The colour is amazing . Georgie is also wearing an Alldressedup necklace and suede Repetto pumps.

And the cute dog is Theodore, my son.

The 3 Sisters Strike again

by cecylia on June 15, 2010

I gotta tell you, these 3 sisters are my muses. I look forward to changing their outfits every week. This time I concentrated on 3 designer labels.

1. Spijkers en Spijkers silk-blend dress with Alldressedup necklace and silicon bow belt

2. Alldressedup top and pants; Gail Sorronda silk jacket in the third picture, it is utterly heavenly

3. Alldressedup top and silicon and perspex necklace, Felder Felder ring skirt (my favourite piece from their SS10 collection)

Consumption at the Conservatory

by cecylia on February 28, 2010

I am an avid food fan and buffets really lure me in. Recently I visited the Crown Conservatory. They have very fresh sea food and charming desserts. As you will later see, I totally over-indulged in dinner and had to loosen my snake-skin belt.

I opted for a sweet white minidress, suede wedges, these are my most comfortable shoes to date. I have stood in them for 12 hours and they will provide ample support. I made my jade-pearl-onyx beaded necklace the night before. My snake skin belt was a vintage souvenir from Berne, Switzerland, and the Bally bag, a vintage souvenir from Spitalfields, London.

This is my big watch- all the better for me to tell the time. A recent thrift find.

This was my 1st course. I really piled it up. Told you I was a glutton. The food is so fresh, waiters remove all food after a certain time. The oysters were delicious too.
