2013 Fall/Autumn Fashion Inspiration - Olivia Palermo

The leaves are turning golden brown and there's a new chill in the air. Autumn arrives in preparation for the cold winter up ahead. It's been a long time since my last entry on fashion. Now that the season is changing and people start bringing out their warmers coats and boots, I'm enjoying the warmer and darker colours making their way back into the crowds. Warm maroon colours, dark chocolate brown, the ever-reliable solid black, dark forest green, and burned orange are just some of my favourite fall colours.

Out of all my favourite fashion icons, Olivia Palermo looks chic in, literally, every outfit she puts on. She oozes of class and the finesse nature of her outfits are just pure classic. I wish I had the ability to look chic in every outfit I put on. Boots are now the staple shoes that everyone is wearing, especially ankle boots of neutral and dark tones. Asos have one of the best ranges of shoes for all those online-savvy shoppers. But nothing will ever beat the good feeling of entering shops and smelling the air of fabric, leather and eye-candy options. Without further ado, I've collected some of Palermo's endless inspiring outfits to give you some ideas of how you can start thinking about your fall outfits. Remember, you don't need to buy new clothes and items every season. If there's one absolutely true fact I've learned about fashion is that, like history, it repeats itself.

This is probably my favourite outfit of hers. It may not be ground-breaking or anything, but the cream coloured top, navy blue skirt and beautiful Hermes handbag fit well so perfectly.

Those knee-high boots are grogeous and leg-lengthening.


I love the contrast of those bright blue pumps against the black leather pants.


One thing I really admire about Palermo is how she is proud to wear the same thing twice. Fashion now seems to be about having the latest trend rather than the ability to be versatile. Good on you, Palermo!

Brown, brown, brown!



This is probably the odd one out of the bunch, but I absolutely love that structured jacket of hers with the rounded shoulders. It adds so much dimension and welcoming curves.

Casual and chic.

Solid black.

Bundle up!

Now this is the office look I'm aiming for.

I'm proud to say I've worn this colour scheme before, and I have to say I'm now called the mustard girl... but for good reasons of course!

Look at that clutch!

Gorgeous heels.

Olivia Palermo. Embodiment of chic.

2013 Korean Spring Fashion - Ankle boots

Let's face it, some of us just have that fetish with boots. Regardless of seasons, we find ourselves wanting to wear boots even if it's scorching weather.
Cannot wait to receive my apricot boots soon!

2012 Korean Fall/Autumn Fashion - Molang, Molang!

Isn't this the cutest little plump rabbit you have ever come across? From stumbling onto this little character in the form of a phone cap in Myeongdong, I debated for a solid ten minutes regarding whether I should buy the little, pinky-sized character for 5000 won. After the self-deliberation, I decided not to take it. Now look who's regretting her decision! Enjoy the cuteness!


Can those cute little limbs sticking out be any cuter?


This little plushie originates from South Korea. From Samsung Galaxy S3 cases to plush toys, these little cuties are not getting the attention they deserve. They became popular after being featured on a television drama series in said country. I'll be getting my hands on Molang soon. I only hope my dog doesn't confuse it as being her toy and shreds it to pieces.

2012 Korean Summer Fashion - Navajo Nordic box-shaped cardigan

Big, bold colours are the trend for this fall. I found a navajo style nordic multicolour cardigan, which I thought would be a nice addition to my wardrobe when I go overseas. Even though the destination I'm headed to is in summer weather, people fail to remember that the airplane is always freezing cold, and I'd hate to be one of those people caught up in thoughts of the summer sun gloriously kissing my skin when I get there, and suffer from the travel flu. Luckily, my body temperature can take the humid summer even with a cardigan on, that's how tolerable I am with summer.
Anyway, without further ado, I shall introduce to you my new member of the cardigan family, which will serve as a nice through-over whenever I enter shopping malls with blasting cold air conditioners.

2012 Fall Fashion Week - TRENDS

What I love about European fashion is their ability to be bold - and doing it right. This season, there are lot of graphic and bold colours to be seen. Colours are not too bright but are enough to grab attention. Colour matching, which seems, questionable theory-wise, are pulled off amazingly. Clutch bags and little chain quilted bags are still seen everywhere. The shoes? Well, that's the fun part. Shoes are getting crazier and more Lady Gaga-esque, which is a delectable treat to the eyes. I want to be daring enough when I go to Seoul and try out amazing styles, while I get the opportunity to be in a foreign country. These pictures are from Vogue. They have heaps more amazing pictures from Fall Fashion week in Paris and Milan. Those two locations never fail to impress me. I might just go to the news agency and buy myself a copy of a Vogue magazine.
