Street Style: Headphones

Hello Wonderful people,

You helped me reach the 1,000 mark on my blog ! I think this is such an amazing achievement :)

This morning I was on the bus to school and it was really crowded *sigh BUT I saw this girl with these amazing sleek headphones and I was just like in my head "Those are g o r g e o u s <3"  So I asked her and she did the thing where she can see i'm trying to speak to her so she lifts her headphone of one ear and say "What?" then I repeated it and... "ITALY" I was like wahhhh D: No change i'n going back to Italy any time soon.

When I got home I Googled "Pink Sony Headphones" and they are one amazon *dances


Sony MDR ZX100 - Headphones ( ear-cup ) - pinkAmazon £21.46
Also available in lots of other colours the White ones are really nice too :) I think that the simplicity of these headphones are the best feature as they can be styled with various outfit and occasions. The light pink colour looks so gorgeous and fun.




BEATS BY DR DRE Solo HD Headphones - Red£169.99

These headphones so popular and I think they are so over- rated, however I do love the range of colours they came in and they are quite stylish :)




MONSTER Diesel Vektr Headphones - Black 
PC World/ Currys £219.95

I love the contemporary look of these headphones, it looks so modern and it looks like it was based on architecture, due to the defined sharp lines. I know these are a pricey but maybe for a big birthday or Christmas present when all your friends or family chip in. These would definitely make you stand out of the crowd and it would contrast a girly outfit, so well, in a good way! Or a rock chic look but definately STREET STYLE <3

Love,

Katherine

Random: Everything VEGETABLES

omgoshhhh ! so I just finished editing this post about vegetables and then I close the tab and it hasn't saved. Wtf ? I'm a little bit pissed, Hopefully I will try and Remember what I wrote but I doubt it ...

Anyways, let's start properly:

Hello Everybody,

Man! I can't remember *sigh

So normally I hate watching adverts there just so stupid somtimes, but this one I actually like it's so catchy and it's about vegetables!

Personally I prefer vegetables to fruit (people say i'm strange, mehhh)
So I wasn't sure what do do my next post on so I thought why not some thing random like... Vegetables!

I did my research and I found that Dolce and Gabanna released a fashion collection inspired by fruit and vegetables at the Milan Fashion week as part of their Spring/ Summer collection. 
I think that all three of these outfits are stunning in their own ways.

Left design: 
Lovley, summery bright colour which is perfect for a day time event where you would want to make a big fashion statement. The shoes have a very modern edge due to the clear upper part of the high heel.

Central design:
More for a warm evening event such a s a BBQ. This design contrasts the left design as it has opposing colours on the colour wheel and instead of the design being very structured and defined it is much more free so that when the model strut her stuff on the catwalk it elegantly ripples out. Black strappy high heels would be perfectly matched with a girly dress and a leather biker jacket 

Right Design:
Short cute summer or spring dress for the warmer weather, the big buttons down the front center of the dress is a nice touch. The thing that stand out most when I see this model wearing D & G design is the big statement head piece is is so extravagant and beautifully outrageous.

                       1.              2.                3.                4.
1. I love the abstraction in this design, the top is really cute as it looks like a suit/top

2. Really cute design! I love the bright orange and the cut out of the fabric in the dress, especially the cute bow tieing it together in the center. Also the two bows on either shoulder, add the finishing touch as it's just so feminine. Also the bottom of the dress looks slightly pleated as it is cinching in above at the belly button

3. I love how the top is so fitted to the model's figure also the halter neck is really cute as it is quite unusual to see these in designs and the skirt is really beautiful as it sits above her hips enhancing the glamorous look. Also I absolutely love the High heel platforms as the neon pink is so futuristic and the black always compromises pink. The matching shoes, bag and earrings are so glamerous.

4. This outfit screams "SUMMER" at me! The gorgeous yellow sunnies look stunning with the matching accessorizes and the dress.

I hope you enjoyed this Random post and I am sorry about the Technical difficulty but yeah... Tell me if you would like more of these random fashion post and list any suggestions.

A Girly day out Shopping with Lauren *snow

Hello everyone and I cannot thank everyone enough for viewing my fashion blog regularly or just once :)
I have a total of nearly 800 view which I think is pretty good since I started blogging in December 2012.

We had no school today because of the snow, so I thought that I would make the most of it by going shopping and taking some fun pictures for my blog with my best friend Lauren.

The pictures in the fitting rooms are in H &M I ended up buying the "candyfloss pink" trousers because they are such a cute colour for spring and I love the design as there is a zip at the back. *squealwithexcitement
Today I didn't have enough to buy the pink ombre sweater but because I think that they look awesome together as an outfit I will definatly buy these soon! I really love the black leggings with a strip of leather down them, they are high waisted and I love the zip detail (aren't really zips)

I think that we are both mad for going out into the snow but oh well. It was worth it.

Me and Lauren only went to the Coffee Shop because I thought that it would look really nice in there to take pictures and we didn't really want to go outside again. *brrrrrr We ended up sharing a large hot chocolate with marshmallows and a hazelnut syrup. <---- That was the bomb *cherryonthetop

I also went to Accessorize and brought a purple statement necklace and a "funky heart audio splitter" which is actually essential because when me and my friends watch videos on our phones we always heave to watch it in pairs. *dotdotdot


I think that green really suits Lauren due to her eye colour which you cannot see...


 Love the colours, Perfect for spring <3

 Such a cute design !

Everything DIY

Hello everybody,

How was your Sunday? I did a bit of DIY today on my backpack.

Backpack - Accessorize, Belt - Vera Moda 
I think that I have had my aztec backpack for a year now and I got it shopping with Lauren, in accessorize while there was a "special offer" spend £30 or more and get £5 off so I brought it for £29 *Bargain. In the Boxing Day sales I managed to got his belt from Vera Moda for £2! I just love the bright blue colour however I didn't realise till I got home that it was too long for me and my bag fastener was literally breaking apart. 

I was absolutely devastated when I realised that I couldn't really wear my back pack anymore because the bag fastener was falling to pieces and it would be a nightmare if it broke then my bag would be wide open. So instead of an unpicker I used a pair of scissors to take the broken bag faster off *sigh 

  Haribo Tangtastics *NOMNOM

 I didn't end up sewing the bright blue belt onto my bag, the belt was too thick and tough so I kinda broke the the needle and bent the pin.. Instead I used super glue! So much easier and quicker. I tried out a focus and Background blur setting on my camera, what do you think? In the background you can see how i cut the top and the bottom off the belt so that when I glue it onto my bag it will actually buckle up like a belt, just as it did before.

I love the finishing touch I put on my bag, I found this button which says "wear me, work me, love me"and it is the same colour as the belt.

1. Get and belt and but off the appropriate amount off the top and bottom.
2. Use superglue to stick the two pieces of the belt where you want
3. Add accessories and your own personal touches

I hope you enjoyed this post and that I have inspired you to upcycle your favourite bag which needs fixing.

Everything SNOW

Hello Everyone,

It's Friday finally! How was your day?
Today was a pretty good day, it SNOWED! For me snow is pretty amazing and rare in London so it's always a special day and whenever its a school day I bring my camera in, also I only had lessons till 1 in the afternoon then we got to leave school.

I hope you enjoy me pictures and sorry my school uniform is quite boring my school is quite strict on uniform  It sucks! Why mann?? We get told off for trying to wear some rings, necklaces, "non- regulation jumpers, coats, shoes, tights etc...." The list goes on!



Hair Model: Yasmin. This hair is frikin' awesome right!?!?! I wasn't expecting that it would be so windy outside, however I think that it added so much more charisma to the image.
I will update this post for details how she dyed her hair.

Model: Jeevi <3
Model: Lauren <3
Me <3

Just what we need hot chocolate in the canteen *yummy!

I don't think that I ever have seen a snowflake that has actually looked like those "typical snowflakes" that you draw and see in cartoons etc... I think that the detail of the snowflake is so stunning capered by my camera. It was being a real bum today (my camera) maybe because of the cold weather it wasn't focusing properly when I would zoom in, eventually I captured the Perfect shot.
Left to Right: Jeevi, Lauren, me. I'm the shorty little Vietnamese girl, funny how I am actually quite tall when i'm with my family and Viet friends.
In the New Look changing room, Jeevi's outfit is interesting.. a bit mix- matched with the Aztec body warmer, grey sweater, pink skater skirt , black opaque tights and red high heels. She should defiantly but the red high heels the look stunning on her and i think that the colour red compliments dark and light/ fair skin tones especially.
I love the simplicity of Lauren's outfit with the use of blues and whites, the lace on the denim skirt adds a lovley interesting texture which makes it so unique.
I really love the denim shirt that I was wearing it is very on trend and I think that it looks best tucked into the burgundy shorts. Also I was wearing nude coloured high heels and I think that these are a wardrobe essentials they can go with a selection of outfits.

Posing in the woods on my way home just chilling to some CLassic Fm, it really help me embrace my surroundings more. Last May I went to Italy with my school and stayed with an Italian family in Tuscany and I saw this bag in Pisa and I didn't buy it , I TOTALLY regretted it. So the next time I saw it we weren't allowed to do any shopping *sign I saw it again in Florence and I literally rushed over to buy it and its one of my favorite bags. All over the bag it has "I love Italia" quite touristy but it always reminds me of great memories. Also green is one of my favorite colour, along with pink and blue. A girl in my french glass had similar earphones tot his and I just love the creativity in how she glammed up her earphones. Therefore I was determined to do my own and I already had my own in ear Sennheiser earphones and some hamma beads *memories. I found a DIY beaded tutorial by a Swedish Blogger Craft and Creativity.
 Please comment if you would like me to do a DIY Beaded Earphones Tutorial in english.

Wearing: black gloves- New look
I absolutely glove the detail on these gloves and I brought them in early December with 25% off in New Look for £4.99.These are just.. SO CUTE!


I hope you likes this post and we enjoyed posing in the snow.

I managed to get a pretty steady shot of Big Ben over peoples head, thanks to my Sony Cyber-shot Digital camera with 16X optical zoom. I think that citys' always look so beautiful at night with all of the buildings and architecture lit up.


The frikin amazing fireworks coming out of the London eye! 15 whole minutes of all of senses tingling with delight :) At first, I thought that you could be on the London eye during the fireworks but that's not possible xD


Me and Hong in my garden. So cold! Wearing my new year's day outfit under a warm hoodie in the garden to go on the trampoline! *boiiiinnnngg

Perfect Purchase but not a panda

Wow, second post of the day this is really amazing!

I know everyone is obsessed with vans at the moment and so am I got a pair with my birthday money and way, these converses are quite old and I still wear them.



Hightop Converses.... FADING from yellow to White!
This is what makes them sooo unique and I had the choice of pink to white or yellow to white gradient and I chose yellow because \in my head I thought #yolo before Chris Brown said it. Also I already have pink ankle  Converses so it would give me a variety of colour. Looking at the pair of converses now they look so clean, at the moment  some of the upper rubber material is coming away from the shoe as I put it into the washing machine a few times. I'm not certain how long I have had these for but I think it's a few years when I used to go on MSN (random -.-) they still fit me size 4 UK. 

Still loving these shoes <3

Everything WEDDINGS

Heyyyy everybody !

I haven't done a blog in literally forever and I am so sorry but I have had a lot of exams.
How was your Christmas Holidays ?
This year, two friends who I met in Plum village last summer which is a Buddhist retreat in the south of France and they came to stay with us, so everyday me and my cousin showed they around mainly London but also Brighton.


This is my auntie's Wedding August 2012

The married couple and all of the purple bridesmaids!
Dress from Tammy BHS. This dress is one shouldered and has ruffles on one strap and the other is a just a plain purple elastic one.




Here I am wearing a River Island dress, sparkly diamante high heels and a purple flower in my hair.
I really love this dress because it felt so summery and it was perfect for the sunny day. I think the heart neck line makes it look really cute and i'm not sure if you can see the detail on the upper bodice but that was a really nice touch.


This is my first blog with picture that I actually are in or took , hopefully I will be doing some more of these in the future!

xoxo
