Wear It & Share It: H&M Concious Collection

Huh? Sandara Park (2NE1) for H&M Concious Collection? Naaaah. That was my initial reaction when I first saw this picture of her for Etude House on Allkpop~ I've gotta admit, she looks really pretty and cute!

*All prices in CAD*

 Here it is on me :) Not as cute, I know...with the orange cami and all... 

Organic Cotton Waistcoat $12.95

Organic Cotton Top $29.95

This was originally on my wishlist. But I decided that it didn't look good enough for me to take it home.

Organic Cotton Top $19.95

 This was shorter than I expected it to be! I do like the back though.

Recycled Polyester Dress $24.95

 Hated this. I tried it on for fun and I'm glad I did. Now I can warn all of you to NOT buy it. That is, unless you like super staticky and see-through fabric.

Organic Cotton Dress $12.95

 I thought I'd be able to get away with kid pieces. Boy was I wrong. You see the line around the chest? Not comfortable. It's super tight and see-through!

This dress wasn't from the Concious Collection but it's cute! It looks better on my friend though (except she didn't admit it haha).

$17.95

I was REALLY disappointed because the knit shorts and the really pretty dress that I wanted were only available in certain stores. And the one that I have access to doesn't carry. The knit shorts were my favourite! However, I did not go home empty-handed. Guess which piece from this post came home with me?

What about you? Any thoughts or did you change your mind about anything?

Wear It & Share It: Spring 2011

This post is a little different from my last "Wear It & Share It" post. Instead of focusing on one piece of clothing and finding the many ways to wear it, I went around to stores trying on newly released clothes. This is obviously collective and it spans over 2-3 months of trying on clothes. I just wanted to show you what certain clothes look like on an actual person :) Let's say that this is my attempt to give you a helpful guide(?!) before you step into a store of your preference and see the perfect piece (the one that literally glows as if it's in a halo) but find out later that it looks horrible on you....That happened to me many times, sadly. In the end, I didn't actually buy any of the things that I tried on because they were either too expensive or the quality wasn't great or I just didn't love it. This post is picture heavy so beware! raaaawr.

Flower detail t-shirt ~$20.00CAD

Wear It & Share It: Newspaper Printed Zipper Tee 1/10/2011

Here is part of my new segment which is more fashion related. I was inspired by multiple fashion bloggers (which I adore~!) so I decided to start my own by featuring one item in each post. Of course, there are chances that I may put in an OTD here and there but I don't really feel confident when it comes to my style :P I get lazy so even though I own accessories and shoes, I don't really dress up using them. 

Here's a funky slouchy t-shirt with newspaper-like print and neon yellow zippers on it. It is definitely more on the edgy/wild side which makes it very fun to experiment with ^^ (I will put more effort and creativity in my outfits next time!)

T-shirt: Boathouse, $6.99CAD (boxing day sale)

Casual Cool

Bleached/destroyed skinny jeans: Urban Planet

Pearl & chain necklace: ALDO

I really like these light wash jeans (: They are suitable for petite-sized girls 

Edgy & Eclectic 

 Faux leather jacket: Winners

Royal blue leggings: Hong Kong

I definitely would have added a studded purse or cool shoes. Just not over the top that will overpower the main focus which is the t-shirt.

Taming the Wild (lol)

 Faux fur vest: Hong Kong

Blue skinny jeans: Urban Planet

The title is soooo creative >< I tried mixing prints here and I think it worked okay. I kept the jeans "low-key" so that it won't make the different pieces clash with each other.

Sweet & Girly

High-waisted button skirt: Pacific Mall

You get a totally different feel wen you tuck it into a high-waisted skirt~! It nips into my waist (yay) and gives my body an illusion of a better shape.

Definitely tell about how you feel about this! I have lots of improvement to make but please bare with me :D
