My Outfit: Navy Shift Dress

Hi readers,

I haven't posted for a while, but there's a reason behind. I was preparing to launch a new blog, which is about streetstyle. As you might know (if you have been reading this blog since the beginning), I started Remedy Rouge as a streetstyle blog first and my outfits were just a secondary theme, so I always wanted to make streetstyle posts as I noticed there weren't any good blogs for this kind in Hong Kong.

Then you know, I got busy back then so I started to take less streetstyle pictures and so I just occasionally posted photographs of my own outfits (:P). Now I found a good blogging partner who has the same passion in streetstyle blogging as me, he's called Nick (he also has his own blog, Cut & Copy). And so I just launched a new blog, Style on Pottinger, with him.

Would I stop posting on Remedy Rouge after I started a new blog? I don't think so, although I might have to post it less here. But I still want to show you my own outfits on Remedy Rouge. I also love the name of Remedy Rouge.

So, here you go, this is what I wore last Saturday. A simple navy shift dress.

These photos were taken on Pottinger Street, which is the inspiration of the name for my new streetstyle blog, Style on Pottinger. The name came because the street is known for the popularity among photographers and just everyone who want to take portrait photos. Therefore you can find so many great style on Pottinger Streer.

A plain v-neck navy dress, just very simple.

The earrings are huge, and I like them.

If you have time, please check out my new blog, Style on Pottinger. I really put lots of efforts in the website design, theme and topic with my blogging partner, Nick.

Here's the logo of the new blog:

Hope you like my new project!

I would still post on this blog. Of course, if I see the readership decline, I might stop. But as long as one person keeps reading Remedy Rouge, I wouldn't stop. I hope you can stay with me.

So yeah, I hope you would squeeze a bit more of your time to read both this blog and the new blog!

Much love,

Jin

Streetstyle: Come Fly With Me Dress

This is my latest streetstyle photoshoots with Vicki from La Mode by GV Miao. Vicki got this cute dress from Sandra Montallebi, a flowy, dreamy and girly beige dress in silk, chiffon, satin and organza, everything a girl likes in a dress (or even in high heels you can say).

Guess the name of this dress? It's called "Come Fly With Me".

We went shooting on a Saturday afternoon. Vicki and I went to Tai Ping Shan Street at Soho. Here are the photographs I took and I hope you like them.

Tai Ping Shan Street is a quite vintage-feeling street packed with old buildings and pretty little vehicles. Vicki was crossing the road with the Come Fly With Me Dress.

We headed to a lifestyle store called Konzepp with a bicycle right outside.

A closer look at the dress. The front is filled with little pieces of chiffon and organza while the main body is made of silk.

The shoulders part is in cut-out shape so you can reveal your skin a bit, sexy yet cute.

Vicki was sporting a pair of white laced tights with the dress.

And the patent leather beige and brown heels.

Vicki matched the dress with a pair of chandelier golden earrings.

It was a sunny day, hence the smile.

Vicki tried to put the necklace on the hair to create some bohemian vibes.

It was my second time to shoot with Vicki and the Come Fly With Me Dress made me realize the inner part of me is a dreamer. The dress made me dream about stuff that I don't have and I want to achieve, and that I know I need to work hard so that I can fly.

What about you? Come fly with your passion and your dream!

Hope you like the dress and the photographs!

My Outfit: Colorblock Dress

After having sunny days during the previous weekend, it starts to rain again this week! Luckily I got to take some pictures on Saturday when the sun came out :)

I always like wearing sleeveless shift dress (like those you always see women in the 60s were wearing) because it's in classic cut that shows your arm while leaving some exposure of your legs, and it never goes out of fashion. This season colorblock is a big trend, be it a shirt, dress, skirt or pants. Shift dress mixed with colorblock details is by far my favorite trend of Spring Summer 2013.

Wearing yellow and white colorblock dress from Zara.

I matched the dress with my Carvela Kurt Geiger heels with turquoise gemstones. The heels actually make me quite pretentious especially when I was wearing them during the day... Nonetheless, I love heels.

A closer look of my Carvela Kurt Geiger heels.

Wearing lots of pearls.

A closer look of my R.J.Graziano (bought from Lane Crawford) pearl necklace and earrings. I'm going to wear this necklace until it's worn out.

Thanks Nick from Cut & Copy for taking the pictures of me. He's an fashion addict like me!

I hope you like my outfit as much as I do. I'm crazy about clean-cut dresses and solid colors. I rarely wear bright color but yellow seems to be a cheerful and positive one that we should all make a try. Of course, rock the colorblock trend with a classy shift dress.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your week.

My Outfit: Sunday Brunch Monochrome

Happy Easter holidays!

I'm just enjoying a relaxing long weekend. This is what I wore on Sunday for brunch, a monochrome (almost) outfit: black jumper, white cropped pants, black pointed-toe heels and a fuchsia handbag.

This picture was shot on Tai Ping Shan Street in SoHo.

Very simple outfit, nothing more.

Some beads details on the hem of the black jumper. Fuchsia handbag from Miu Miu, I'm carrying it every day.

Heels from Geox. It's a bit of a 50s style, reminded me of the ladies at Mad Men.

A closer look of my outfit.

Wandering around the streets under small rains.

Wearing a pair of pineapple earrings in pastel colors.

Thanks Nick Chan from Cut & Copy for taking the pictures of me.

Tomorrow is the first day of work after the long weekend. I'm looking forward to a new week!

My Outfit: White Crochet Dress

Easter holiday is coming! But I'm not going anywhere, today I'm taking a rest at home.

This is what I wore on Saturday (when the weather was still fantastic), a simple white crochet dress. Recently I've been in love with crochet details because those little holes in the dress revels some skin while giving a feeling of freedom and relax.

I was sitting at a coffee shop near Admiralty.

Here are some inspirations about crochet dress from other fashion bloggers:

Pair the dress with a blazer or military jacket, it can be elegant or fun.

Or, just wear the dress like it is! Don't forget to add a pair of statement sunglasses.

When you feel funky, go for a colorful bright-color crochet dress like red or yellow.

Happy Easter holidays to you all.

The Outfit that Gives Me Longer Legs

I was wearing this pair of flare pants in tailored fit and everyone asked, "you grow taller, Jin!".

It's not that I've grown a few inches, but it's that wearing flare-hem trousers creates a longer silhouette at the bottom part of your body.

Conclusion: proportion can tricks people about your height.

Cheers!

The Bag That is Nothing - But Elegant: "L de LANCEL"

There are always big logos, golden labels and metal tags embedded on those luxury handbags, as if the name speaks more than the design itself. Simple as it seems, still not many brands are bold enough to pursue a subtle approach by not showing anything flashy on the handbag and just focus on what the inner beauty the bag can bring to the person wearing it. Today, I see that Lancel does that. To be more specific, the "L de Lancel" bag does that.

The only noticeable feature on the bag - the two L-shaped metal clasps. Simple and chic, in an effortless way.

The Launch Party of "L de Lancel" was held at French Window at IFC Mall. The translucent windows with Lancel's brand logos work well with the little light coming outside.

How the stage looks like before the show starts.

The bags in the middle of flowers reminds me that summer is really coming soon.

Couch, magazines, coffee, together with the L de Lancel bag, is a Lancel's renowned heritage symbolizing a modern woman traveling in elegance.

The candles created a warm atmosphere at the restaurant.

The monochromatic decor of black and white photo frames and lamps reminiscent a vintage library from the Maison.  

Models showing the small and large L de Lancel bags.

Another round of models.

Amanda S. on the right.

Lancel's CEO, Fabrizio Cardinali, just handed a L de Lancel bag as a gift to Amanda S, the model who is pretty and can make cakes. I got a mille-feuille from Petite Amanda and ate it immediately after, so I didn't get to show you the little cake.

Looking from the top, I want to fill the coffee cup with some latte with a trunk of full milk.

I adore Lancel's minimalist approach and the almost-nothing-but-elegant design of the L de Lancel. The colors of black, sand and ivory are nothing but basic, and basics are essential. I could feel that a woman carrying this bag are those who are spiritual, sensible, subtle and quietly confident. Their confidence speaks for itself from their every little smile, posture, movement and words that spill slowly from their soft lips.

Here comes a random poem:

Lying on my Left is a Little Lancel Bag

Roaring on my Right is a Ritzy Rosy Radio

Hoarding in my Heart is a Hysteric Handsome Hawaiian
