1. White dress
This is a wardrobe basic but it's so hard to get the perfect one. Colorwise, I like bright white or ivory, not off-white. Material cannot be too think or too sheer or shiny. Lace or crochet is always preferred. Love everything in the Comme des Garçons collection but some are quite dramatic. Hope there'll be more wearable versions when hitting the stores.

2. Crystal flats
Personally, I like wearing heels when dress up (110mm, 120 or even 140mm). However, sometimes a bit walking is needed and crystal flats is a great alternative (no need to compromise beauty with comfort). I've been comtemplating on the Manolo Blahnik Hangisi (the "something blue" heels in SATC) and the Roger Vivier chips flats. Since I got the Hangisi heels in fuchsia at winter sale (that's meant to be when my size was still available at 70% off!!!), probably will go for the RV one. Should I pick black, navy or strawberry red?
3. Brogues
Ever since I got my first Church's wingtip brogues, I keep thinking on the next pair coz it's comfy and practical. The tomboy aesthetic adds little twist to the total look and it matches almost everything in my wardrobe (as you can see from my look of the day). Sometimes I do get tired of wearing ballerina and brogues is great for casual working day and weekend shopping. Love the stud ones from Church's and black/white mix from J.W. Anderson.

4. Alexander Mcqueen clutch
I got 2 Mcqueen clutch already but seems cannot get enough of it. My next target is the knuckle style and just wonder which one is good, gold python, white python or white lace..

5. Bib necklace
Bold accessories are always on my top list, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, the bolder the merrier!! Only one piece will touch up the whole look (you won't wear everything together to look like christmas tree). This may not be a major trend but I always keep an eye out for special pieces since they may not be around readily. Holly Fulton is a Scottish designer who applies art deco design on her RTW and accessories. The necklaces are addorned with Swarovski crystal, perspex, python, leather etc which are fun and quirky.

Guess that's all for now. I'd better keep away from all fashion magazines and blogs etc etc.
