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!

2013 Korean Spring Fashion - Introduction

It's been one heck of an October for me. Instead of celebrating Halloween and getting to dress up in the craziest costumes, I was in my room typing up my various research proposals into the late night every night. I'm approaching the end of that. In fact, I submit my last assessment tomorrow morning! Furthermore, I got accepted to do an internship with the 2013 Harvard Worldmun! Because of this, I am forced to postpone my return to Korea till after my internship, which will be at the end of March. April is a beautiful time to go to Korea, mainly because of the spring weather and, most importantly, the cherry blossoms! Cherry blossoms are my favourite flowers and it would be a dream come true to go to the cherry blossom festivals.
Nothing can go wrong with chiffon, especially in spring. Enjoy and be inspired!

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 Korean Summer Fashion - My Michael Kors Hamilton bag

Technically, I haven't received it yet. However, I am super excited to receive in the post very soon - I'm hoping for this week. I found a bunch of clearer, high quality pictures of what should be the bag that I'll be receiving very soon. It's the small variation of the Michael Kors Hamilton bag. I didn't choose the large one, because I was aware that the bag would become very floppy and not have a solid body form. I thought the smaller one would be able to maintain its shape for a longer time. Also, small bags will come in handy when I choose to out on the town.
