Style: Wardrobe Update and Inspirations 2022

As I've succumbed to the plague, I thought it was worthwhile to post on this blog.

Inspirations

I've lately been drawn to the likes of Courreges and Coperni. Futurism. Courreges is bringing back the sporty 60 minis and the vinyl, and Coperni's tech-inspired accessories are unique yet minimalist.

Coperni Fall 2022

Courreges Fall 2022

Favourite Wardrobe Items

1. All Saints Leather Jacket

Purchased from All Saints

This Dalby jacket was purchased in November 2020. It's not great for rainy weather but I've been desiring more of an edgier look as of late. It's a classic biker jacket, no belt detail (I don't like the belt), and still remaining relatively minimalist.

2. Coperni Swipe Bag

Exact style no longer available

After spying on Coperni for a good year, I purchased this bag in November 2021. It is interesting to look at, almost like an egg shape. I've gained the most compliments on this bag over any of my other ones. You can hold it by the handle or wear it like a shoulder bag. More recently, Coperni has released versions where you can secure a strap to it for a crossbody look. It is able to hold any of my essential items, sans water bottle and umbrella, but none of my handbags can fit one anyways.

3. Jeans

I'm still on that denim kick, but opting for wide leg and flare/bootcut styles.

Inspiration: Catherine Deneuve - The Hunger

The Hunger (1983) is the last film collaboration Catherine Deneuve had with Yves Saint Laurent. 80s fashion suited the thousand-year-old Egyptian vampire, Miriam -- accessories were bold and flashy, the shoulder pads making one seem more confident and powerful. In fact, every time I use my YSL lipstick, I'm reminded of this movie -- something about YSL and the flashy gold packaging makes me recall this film. This vampire movie had its flaws but I will acknowledge that it was beautiful, aesthetically speaking. My favourite shots Here are the highlights of the outfits: First outfit: Possibly jumpsuit with belt, 80s Cat Eye glasses, drop earrings, leather gloves with eyelets Very minimalist here with a navy blazer and white shirt. Love the raspberry lip. Flashy gold earrings here. Veiled hat, large stud earrings, white coat and a lizard brooch (love that detail; I believe in Ancient Egypt, lizards symbolise divine wisdom) Perhaps my favourite dress. A drop nec

Review: W.Dressroom Dress & Living Clear Perfume

I came across W.Dressroom while I was looking for an alternative to candles. With endorsements from Kpop idols/celebrities such as BTS Jungkook and Wanna One/ NU'EST Minhyun, they're popular amongst kpop fans. Retailers claim it to be affordable luxury, taking a similar concept to that of Jo Malone (making a scent available in various forms). The most easily accessible version is the mist, however, you can find candles, hand cream, reed diffusers and more of the range from YesStyle. I purchased mine from The Sesame Shop and arranged a pick-up, but this option is only available to Sydneysiders. Green Grape Sorbet and Peach Blossom are both very fruity. The floral edge is more noticeable in the grape than the peach. Peach Blossom smells straight up like peach. April Cotton is powdery and clean, much like laundry detergent and soap. Out of the three, I recommend April Cotton. It's the only scent I'd consider purchasing again. However, the quality leaves something

Inspiration: You Who Came from the Stars/ My Love from Another Star

The world has witnessed the power of product placement, after many of the lipsticks worn by Cheon Song Yi (played by Jun Ji-hyun, also known as Gianna Jun) were sold out and has a wait list. This includes YSL Rouge pur Couture in #52 Rosy Coral, which had been sold out worldwide . It was later released that the lipstick shade in question was made from various products and none were from YSL. AmorePacific was one of their sponsors and provided most of the products used while YSL just got a free ride . Nevertheless, Rosy Coral was a popular shade prior to the drama release but it probably wouldn't have sold out if it weren't for the rumour circulating. I've put some time aside for a drama marathon and watched all the episodes. I joined the masses of people, swept in the craze to purchase what she wore and even to eat her favourite food & drink: chicken and beer . I think it's mostly Jun Ji-hyun's charisma that sells these products. While I don't feel com
