Changed Up to Pin-Up

I just want to share this, a lot of people think all of my clothes are new and up-to-date but little do they know I'm attracted to the beauty and quality of many vintage items or just vintage-inspired items. I grew up watching old classic movies because of my dad and my sister who went to a film school. I enjoy watching how people was dressed, spoke to each other in an old school way and the everyday scenarios that we don't see anymore in the present. But, of course there are new movies that I enjoy, but sometimes a steady stream of classic cinema makes me feel happy and curious. 

This area of my life where I take refuge in The Vintage Life is a great comfort even in my fashion instinct.

So for my 50's-inspired look, I'll start of from head to toe. I'm a collector of cat's eye frames, I like how catchy and edgy it is. Maybe because I'm a big fan of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. When I saw Audrey Hepburn wearing a pair of cat's eye sunglasses in Breakfast at Tiffany, I want to have my own pair right away. Thank you GEORGINA SASHA for my Vern #GSunnies. Laid my Forever 21 red floral headband that matches these cute red fruity stuffs from ITS GORGEOUS GIRLS. And do not forget the "Pouty Lips". Who can forget that? For pin up lips, opt to wear a bright red, and MAC Ruby Woo is just perfect.

For wardrobe, draw some inspiration from the 50's like the famous polka dots dress. This COTTON ON dress fits perfectly plus the clothe is very comfortable. Last but not the least, can't get enough with these matching lippy bag and red flats from ALLURE COLLECTION. 

Pick a pin up inspiration that you admire and emulate of their dazzle into your pin up style like Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Ava gardner, Betty Bromser and etc. But, don't try to copy these woman, try to put your own personality into your look. ;-P

Happy 4th!

It's been awhile since I've wore a short floral dress. So last June 14, I decided to wear this lovely H&M floral printed dress from FAB FINDS. And why? Because exactly four months from that day, I said yes to Matt to be his girlfriend. I love how this dress is colorful and fun just like how Matt brought color to my life and everyday is a fun-filled adventure with him.

 

 

 

 

The thing I like about this dress is that you can wear it for a day around the mall and then just add some heels for a formal dinner date in the evening, but for today, I put on these comfortable ballet flats from  FEET HER WELL.

 

 

 

If you like, you can add on some accessories to spice up the outfit like arm candies, pearl earrings, headband and an H&M clutch bag. Don't I look girly today? ;-P

 

 

 

 

Last but not the least, I just want to show you an addition to our family. Meet Stella the Sharpei! Matt gave her to me for our 4th monthsary or what he calls "Annimercary"gift. I named her Stella from my favorite German beer because she looks drunk all the time and she sleeps everywhere.

 

I've never felt this blessed and loved ever before. Thank you so much love!
