Scotch and Soda Maison Scotch Collection - my future Autumn/Winter wardrobe

We Live Like This

An old friend came visit from Melbourne last week, so I took her to Paddington, one of my favourite places in Brisbane. When we found out that the cafe which serves the best cuppacino in town was closing for the day, I wiped my tear and walked into the boutique next door (which I thought belongs to the same owner all along), We live like this.

Mekalie is one of the most enthusiastic shop owner I've met. She gave us the warmest welcome and naturally, we started chatting about the shop, the garments, and fashion. You can tell she has such a passion for local designs and art work by the way she talks about them. I like to see people who love what they do, they go to work everyday with a smile on their face.

It was a pity that I didn't go prepared, or I would have shown you more pictures of the garments and the shop. But you all know the best way to explore a shop is to go see it yourself.

Summer of Rock

I am always curious about other people's summer wardrobe because tank top and denim shorts are basically what I live in during Summer in Australia (or Hong Kong). The temperature is just unbearable to think of wearing anything else. This editorial from Elle France featuring Erin Wasson might give you one tip or two of how to evolve your summer wardrobe if you are sick of tank tops and denim shorts like me.

Missoni Resort 2012

When I think of resort collection, I think of Missoni. Colours and prints have been Missoni's signature, and the label has done it so well. In a gloomy and cold day in Australia, seeing this collection helps lighten me up a bit.

Now I want to book a trip to Morocco.

JJ.S. Lee

Discovered this resort collection '12 from Korean designer JJ.S. Lee the other day when I cruised around the world wide web. Fell for her details and pleated wide leg trousers.

Recent Crush - Josh Goot

A few looks from the 2011 S/S lookbook that I adore.

Him and Her

If I ask you to name a label for the above 2 lookbooks, what would you have said? Yes ladies and gentlemen, they are H&M's FW 2011 lookbook. I didn't get it right when I first saw it as well. Looks like the Swedish fashion house is looking for some repositioning. I am actually quite happy to see that as long as they are still affordable (can't price the products too low, think about the poor factory workers in India!).

I absolutely drool over the mens collection this season. That dark green checker blazer would be a perfect birthday present for my brother. And I'll subtly hint him about my Christmas present too. This is what siblings are for, right?
