Mary Katrantzou x Topshop 

how breathtaking are these?! i've been obsessed with Mary's flamboyant prints and silhouettes ever since i last saw her designs during the previous fashion week, and been super excited to hear that she was going to be collaborate with Topshop - crazy rad or what!? the collection is finally out and will be on sale Feb 17 onwards, and here i am wishing that one or two of these precious pieces would land in my humble country. definitely want one of those dresses.

holy crap. didn't realize i actually kinda miss blogging here, and missing out on the madness that is #NEWYORKFASHIONWEEK - i have not been able to keep up and i am bummed! work's been swarming (i am thankful for my job i am thankful for my job i am thankful for my job) and i have made a little deal with myself - will ignore all (okay, almost) fashion-related stuff, focus on work and INDULGE on the weekend. well, i did cheat a little since i simply just CANNOT resist not putting up this beautiful lookbook here.

so, see you this weekend! and happy lovers' day, y'all

Elin Kling x H&M

Elin Kling x H&M

if there was one single person I'd love to be, that person would be Elin Kling. style-wise, Elin is the epitome of minimalist chic, she practically defines effortlessness. it's amazing how she throws on just the most basic pieces and instantly looks like the coolest chick on the block, ultimately who she is.

when i first read that Elin was doing a collaboration with H&M, i knew it was gonna be rad. despite being her design debut, she nailed it. read about her crazy cool experience working with H&M here.

how rad. crazy rad. what i love: the clutch, the PRINT on the DRESS, the bangle, the tailored suit blazer + slacks, the t-shirt, the muted colours especially the whites, the clean lines, the crisp details.

"To be the first one to make this kind of collaboration with H&M feels incredibly flattering and fun. It has been very inspiring to be able to work so closely with the design team at H&M, and I’m incredibly happy with the results. The collection is minimalistic and raw, but with bohemian elements, something that reflects my personal style well" - Elin Kling
