Leather and pumps

Have you noticed we have been shooting with structured backgrounds lately? Geometric shapes create such an interesting backdrop in photographs. They are the perfect examples for modern, more city-like settings (oh, of course, vertical lines always make you look thinner, right?)

This is my first leather jacket that I purchsed for myself years ago from Revolve clothings. SWORD is rarely seen anywhere now (what happened to them?) but when I bought it I had no idea how great the leather quality is and made in Italy. I highly recommend this brand if you are looking for middle-end very nice quality leather jacket. Being a colour lover, I had to throw in some fuschia and red into the mix. I am in the market for a bright cheery coloured coat (winter sale anywhere?), do you have any suggestions for me?

SWORD leather jacket (quilted style here), F21 skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAC (stunning patent version here), Bossini scarf (from overseas), Lindberg sunnies and A.S.O heels. Necklace is a gift from mum (seen here )

"I have nothing to wear"

Just like the title of this post, I literarily stood in front of my closet, "I have NOTHING to wear"! Are you with me? You have days like this right? I hope I can go "shopping in my closet" and magically conjure up different looks from all of these relatively old cloths but today is one of those brain-dead moments.
You have seen me wearing this denim coat before (earliest seen here) as well as my many versions of stripped tops but what the heck, they look good together haha.

We walked around the Portland Streetcar Art Museum this morning. The architecture is so interesting and unique. I love all the vertical pattern and the mix of colours. I hope you are having a great Friday and a great weekend ahead. I am off to continue searching for inspirations in my closet (until I can go shopping again).

Be beautiful everyday :)

Weekend at the Bellevue Hyatt

Since photographer man and I had to work during Valentine's Day, we decided to leave town for the weekend as a "mini-belated celebration" for the two of us. We love to go up to Seattle occassionally. The town has great food, shopping and our favourite sport, table tennis. We stayed at the Bellevue Hyatt, a four star hotel and had a wonderful time. The weather was not surprisingly, cold and rainy so we had to stay indoor for some quick outfit shots. I hope you dont find these photos utterly boring. I promise I will have better ones later this week!

Bag is Mulberry Alexa (medium), Scarf by Zara, red coated jeans by Rich & Skinny and booties by Vince Camuto.

 

Have a great rest of the week everyone :)
