The Wonder of a Sunset

by cecylia on February 10, 2010

When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator – Mahatma Gandhi

The setting sun was beautiful but my little Canon really does not do it justice. I rediscovered a silk linen skirt I’ve had for over a decade but have never worn. It actually has a matching short-sleeved jacket but I refuse to wear them together because it makes me look like a first lady candidate. I love the texture of this skirt and yes it has pockets!

Everything I’m wearing is vintage.

Recently I was lucky enough to come across these amazing plastic amber earrings from the thrift shop. They’re vintage Body Art (an ancient Australian jewelery label) which may have become extinct…

I love collecting vintage earrings. It’s become a bit of an obsession. If you don’t know what I am talking about, check out this post?

I am starting to get quite excited about my eminent trip to Paris. Is anyone going to Paris Fashion Week? I am booking my flight soon!

Shoe Lust on Ebay

by cecylia on October 12, 2009

Ebay contains a wealth of covetable fashion finds, espeically footwear. I recently came across a few pairs of my favourite things.

miu miu rose patent flats

First up, a candy-coloured and glossy patent leather Miu Miu flats. They remind me of Melissa shoes, it may just be the effect of the lighting. These are so adorable, like Dorothy shoes, the flat version. Just click your heels twice…

max mara heels

These earthy-toned Max Mara booties are so sophisticated and demure. They would be very stylish for work with a grey suit and smart with jeans.  Admire the craftsmanship, look at all the stitching! These heels are 3 toned!

brown suede leather booties

I saw these suede booties at Zomp, they are so soft and flattering on.  The caramel brown is a classic but the shape is very unique.

fingy boots

These fringe peep-toe ankle booties are insane, very Alexander Wang. You just need to throw on a mini body-con LBD. I adore them. They were from the States though, so I just drooled.

cute peach red shoes

Ok, these are the Dorothy shoes. Utterly modern, these look so comfortable. The round toe pumps are so cute! Dorothy would be able to skip along the Yellow Brick Road in these.

christian louboutin pumps

Good old Louboutins. These black stilettos are the perennial classic. Al tough a little ‘boring’ for me, one cannot deny the understated elegance they exude. Every lady should have a pair of these- fail-safe, they’re little pick-me-ups with any outfit and they make you look like you have just done 1 hour of spin class when you wear them.
