Wait wait wait, this is not how this lookbook started
It began as a spring lookbook back in April
But then I had a family emergency and I had to fly to Canada
By the time I got back, it was more of a spring /summer lookbook
so I reorganized things and tried on some outfits
and I realized I gained some weight
so not everything fits me well and some of the ideas I had in my head didn't really look good when I put them on
Guys, I can't find any outfit
Oh, I found three I like but I feel like I need at least six or seven to make a lookbook possible
Let me know you guys don't want a spring lookbook or maybe it will be kind of a mixture like spring summer
So then I postpone the shooting but it had to be for another week
Because my friends Alyssa and Karen were visiting us in Hong Kong and then again when they left because Natalie and Emily took a two
And a half week vacation then by this point
It just became a summer lookbook so I had to start over and that's when the storms hit it rained it thunderstorms
And even amber storm for two weeks straight this turns out to be like the worst
Possible day to choose there's an Amber rain storm now suddenly
Even when we had some hope for it to be sunny because the weather said so we were deceived
Yeah, here's as it should be thought very nice
but now it's amber
So we did an anti rain dance
To stop the rain
It looks like you're just raising the roof. You can do the Japanese doll thing
the sunny doll
because
Does it have a face. Yeah
I hung up my offering of a teru teru bozu
And we waited after much deliberation on plant placement and human placement so that we would be seen
We began shooting in my home
We wanted to do one take looking cool transition looking basically the lineup lookbooks looking at type of video
But we couldn't get the timing right so it took forever and then suddenly our prayers were answered and the rain stopped
But at this point it was 5 p.m
so that was all
I don't know and then I watched the footage back and overall
It just didn't really feel very me and you guys wanted to feel me in this video in the form of my voice
And if you don't want to hear my voice you can just mute me now and listen to a song of your choice
May I suggest something?
hopeful and conquering with slightly
Defeating undertones as I start out this video pretty strong but it kind of goes downhill
Fast but I still finished it. Ok, so
We started this all again this time. We were shooting in a studio. We're shooting something else, but we had some leftover time
So I decided to redo the looks and this is where my summer
2019
lookbook begins
My first dress is cute baggy and kind of reminds me of a sheep
Our first trend is polka-dots to me polka-dots are fun playful and youthful
They're loved by many iconic fashionable women and moments and recently we saw them all over the spring summer 2019 runways
This dress mixes another trend which is puffy sleeves. I'll get to that later
So it's sort of a twofer one trend dress and it's feminine
It's flirty it fits very light and loose which is perfect for those summer days when it's too hot to get dressed
I paired it with my black vans and this strawberry hair clip because hair accessories like clips headbands and scarves are also all the rage
this season
For a very comfortably cute outfit moving from the playful side
I think polka dots are also really classic and elegant to make this look even more elegant I added in some pearls
There are a lot of Blair Waldorf as thick headbands on the runway this spring summer 2019 and I found this
Headband as well as the earrings
I'm wearing from the brand Lele said okie and since there was a lot going on upstairs
I chose a simple classic white sneaker for the downstairs
But this would look good with any type of shoes really heels boots sandals Doc Martens. You could rock anything with this look
another way you can wear polka dots is to pair a polka dotted bottom with a
simple t-shirt or tank top and then you can also add in a denim jacket or maybe a leather jacket and
with that jacket
you can either not wear it or wear it or carry it or drape it on your shoulders like a cape that falls off all
The time and annoys everyone around you and give you the maximum range of a t-rex, but look chic
And these pieces are all classic they can stay in your wardrobe forever pretty much
So in my opinion, they're very worth investing in
really worth investing in
Our next trend is utility chic
Where fashion meets function and it's all about earthy neutral colors clean shapes and low-key statements
I love pairing the sharp tailored top with a very girly flowy skirt because I think these two
opposing ideas combined to make a very effortlessly cool look
I also paired it with some sneakers and a little bit of back sweat, but it's a summer lookbook
So this is realistic, but you know a little cotton ball
It's part of the look
Boiler suits were in so many designer collections this year and they're everywhere now
I am so obsessed with the silhouette it gives because it hugs and loosens in all of the right places
It's easy to wear. It's comfy and you can dress it up or down to sue all occasions
I added in a navy blue polka dot scarf and these Chanel espadrilles. I got about four years ago that I couldn't get on anymore
32 now 32 right now going up to 36. I
Excuse me for the way I look, everything is sticking to me and it's so hot that everything's starting to expand
I can't get my foot in my shoe
I have one foot that slightly bigger than the other one. I think everyone saw it does ready
Yeah, so this one can't fit anymore or we're complaining about the rain now
We got Sun and we're complaining about the sun and the heat
the universe is like what to you want woman and you don't want sun now
if you're feeling too hot to wear a long pants. You could offer this dress
I think it looks relaxed carefree effortless, but very put together at the same time because of the structure
I've paired it with the same scarf just tied in a different way and the same comfy espadrilles
Although this is a shorter version of those I saw on the runway. It has just as many pockets, which is very important
It's actually what attracted me to this dress. It's very cute and functional
Puffy sleeves are back. They're the ultimate tailors, but feminine look and they instantly add an 80s twist to modern outfits
I love the look of denim with a white blouse
It's the dressier version of the classic jeans and t-shirt and then when you throw in these puffy shoulders
It brings a bolder statement to this
Basic but always stylish outfit
To finish it off. I'm wearing some white sneakers and drinking something yellow purely for aesthetic reasons
Which I hate to admit but it was surprisingly delicious
This cool and passion fruit are an unexpectedly good
combination because it was slightly sweet tart and really refreshing I
Feel like this top is many things in one because it has puffy sleeves polka dots it's slightly
Utility because of the structure and it has a bow
I think what I was trying to go for here is a casual version of the celine dress mix with my Canadian fashion roots
Sort of Canadian tuxedo, but make it 2019 fashion.
I really like it. And another thing that was well liked is this restaurant behind me? It was a really good choice. I
We should have been hit because so we had this really original idea to come to Chung Chung boy estate
We grab a corner
Final trend is all about the hottest color of this season lavender
Outfit wise you can go full body a variety of tones or just one piece and it looks really beautiful in many different styles
romantic boyish business casual
actually, this color has a really special place in my heart because it reminds me of my first makeup or my first eyeshadow eyeshadow was
The first makeup I actually know about lip balm. It was the first eyeshadow color I've ever worn. It was a very
shimmery light purple eyeshadow that came from this little pot thing and I paired that with some
Shimmery pink lip smackers lip balm. But yeah
Anyways, I've heard this fully lavender body suit with some high-waisted jeans
which I instantly regretted because at this point it felt like I was inside of an oven and I'm like
I'm like a cookie baking on a sheet and a hair clip and sneakers for an overall casual girly look
I'm obsessed with this lavender blazer and I'll definitely be wearing it for a while
because
lavender and shades of purple in general are staying with us into the fall as they continue to be a really hot color on the
fall winter
2019 runways so find some great dresses pants and tops right now for the summer and then you can layer them up and continue wearing
Them even as it gets cool. This is another amazing headband from Lele satochi. I love the jewels on it
It makes me feel like a queen
The queen of mustache sweat. Maybe I had no idea that was there
I guess this outfits a little too warm from hongkong summer afternoons
But if you're inside or you're living somewhere cooler than a dress with a blazer is a really cute
combination that you should definitely try
My final outfit is the skirt from song of styles collection
I love her style
If you need some outfit ideas, her socials are definitely ones to watch it fits super well and tight
But it also is stretchy so you can move around in it, it is not like too hot and constriction
constricting
And it has a very flattering cut to it. I really liked the way it's made. I love everything about it
I love the color and I'm also wearing my husband's shirt
Over sizes in and I love the way men's tailored shirts and even t-shirts fit
So sometimes when I'm bored of my clothes I dip into his
Ya I think so
Done
That's is your summer lookbook I hope you liked it because I put my blood sweat and fake tears into it
No, I I haven't done this in a while that was actually really fun
And I also hope that you got a little bit of inspiration
Maybe to pull something out of your closet that's back in or to try something new when you're out shopping. Ooh speaking of shopping
I noticed that a lot of the summer sales have already started because it's midsummer right now, so
That's the positive to this video being out so late. Thank you so much for watching
I'd love to know which I will fit and our trends you really liked and I will see you in my next video. Bye
