Blogs that I love [Part 1]

Two or three years ago, I started reading fashion blogs. It was totally new and exciting for me to see and read and know about such a different world. Those blogs have inspired me so much, in both fashion and life wise. I don't know if many people have known and have read fashion blogs in Vietnam, but if you haven't, you totally should try guys. But I'm warning you guys, they are really addictive (I have spent nights browsing more and more for cool outfits, so trust me on this...). But why not yeah? So I will start by sharing some of my top favourite blogs, streetstyle, personal style, lifestyle or any blogs that I find really interesting and should-be-shared. If you have read any blogs that you find awesome, please share with us! The awesome feeling of finding a new perfect blog is just legend-wait for it-daryyyyy!

1. Vanessa Jackman

I assume that most of you have known about The Satoralist, Garance Dore, Tommy Ton (if you don't, then you seriously have to check them out, they are like... the kings of streetstyle blogs) so I will start talking about others than those perfect three.

I love streetstyle blogs (duh!) and Vanessa Jackman's is one of my top favourite. Her photos always have that unique vibe which is so lovely just to look at. It is probarly the result of film photography (which I totally adore) and just pure talent of capturing moments. Her blog's style is about being girly, chic and perfectly simple. Ah such beauty ~

2. Hoyasnap

Just the best Korean streetstyle blog ever. No big deal.

 3. On the move
Yay for Vietnamese blog! On the move was a Lam Boutique's blog about streetstyle in Saigon. I have been a fan of Lam's style, very vintage, "zen" and basic, and perfectly comfortable; so their blog inherits those values very well.

4. Advanced Style
And the last blog of part 1 I want to show you is this very much unique blog Advanced Style. Where in the world can you find such fabulous and timeless beauty. The blog is the perfect collection of "the most stylish and creative older folks". Well, let the photos speak by their own:

Black and Green

Long - Student

Everyone knows that military is still in the trend yeah? In my opinion even when it is "out of fashion", military is still a perfect choice, especially for boys. It makes guys look more masculine, strong and cool (I know I use the term "cool" too much, sorry for my lack of vocabulary...)!

It's pretty much simple. You put on the warm thick coat, pair of black jeans and leather boots, and voila! Long also put on a simple bracelet, which compliments the outfit very well =) So guys, go military!

Casual with a twist

Kim - Owner of Chocolate on Cashmere

If you are interested in the fashion blog world in Vietnam, you probarly have heard about this cool girl. She is Kim Nguyen, the owner of the personal style blog Chocolate on Cashmere and have been featured on Kenh14, Teenvogue etc. I have known Kim for quite a while but we have never actually met, so I was really excited when we accidentally saw her at La Place in our last "blog-trip". And yes, totally fall in love with her outfit!

As Kim has said in her blog, her style is "casual with a twist". I really like how she balance feminine and boyish element in her style. The oversize denim jacket, the leather skirt with leather shoes have a very "cool" tone in it, and they are mixed with a classic layer of button-up white shirt and sweater. No wonder this girl stand out :)

That's for now, bye x

We are backkk

Duong - Second year student

So yessss we are back now guys, after almost 3 months of hiatus... Sorry but exams and assignments were killing us for the longest time ever, but finally sem break is here a.k.a back to blogging! So Pon and I start grabbing our cameras and hunting on the street again yayy.

I like how "clean" and neat Duong's outfit look, each layers compliment the next layer very well, completed with jeans and a pair of very cool black leather shoes. Not too casual, not too formal, really easy and effective mix in this kind of chilly weather in Hanoi. And hell yeah he looks cool!

Btw along with our "come back", I also want to want to improve the blog a little. As in streetstyle photos like this, do you want detail about the outfit. Like, those shoes were bought from Charlott Shop, that shirt was from H&M etc. Personally I don't really remember where I bought my clothes, and almost all of mine are unbranded so I don't find it neccessary to do so. But I guess others are different, and with those detail you can find the similar item if you saw and like them in our photos. So yeah? Do you want it? Please leave a comment below and tell us!

Oh and second thing, anyone want us to write in both English and Vietnamese? It would be easier to follow I think :D

Bye for now

Roarrrr

Pon - 20 - Student

Here comes our girl :) This was Pon the last time I saw her (dear, we need a meeting, soon!). It was kinda chilly at that time and we were all so excited about the up-coming winter. But no, the weather cheats us all, it's getting hotter and hotter each day..

Pon was wearing all denim and spikey and had a rock&roll feeling all over it. I just really love the oversized denim jacket of her, the studs are on the sleeves, which is totally different from all of those studded-collar or studded-shoulder that people wear a lot nowadays. I have never been a fan of leopard print to be honest, for me it's "too much". But i like how the pattern is distributed quite randomly but not like stuck at one place or spread all over the outfit :) So hi, let's make friends sometimes leopard print.

That's for now, I need to get back to the never-endling workload..

Paisley paisley

Seul Ah - 26 - Student

How was your weekend everyone? :) Sorry we haven't been around as much as we should. I couldn't even meet up with Pon since our schedule clashed with each other every now and then. And mid-term is already here.. Oh well, as a semester 3 student, I shouldn't be this surprise about our Exam Schedule, but I still am..

So I found it very lucky to find this lady at school when I brought my camera AND Pon was with me as well.  We were just accidentally meet each other near the library, and then one second later we saw her passing by and yeah the ritual began haha. I like how easy-going and comfortable the outfit was, with a splash of colorful paisley-pattern of her scarf (I.love.paisleyyy) spiced up the whole thing ~ And those brown shoes are too cute!

That's for now. Have a good week people!

Me, my, mo

Hi lovelies,

I have never fond of posting and writing about myself on the blog. Therefore I kept postpone those post and stored quite a lot of pictures of me in my laptop. And somehow it comes to the point that I will have to write a post entirely about me, with all the photos left from our photoshoot... Running out of streetstyle photos is definitely not a pleasent thing :( So, eh, bear with me guys..

It's weird how I keep writing about how your personal style will portray your personality, but I really can't define my own style. It has something to do with my mixed characteristics and constant swing mood. Sometimes I want to wear grunge, sometimes french, sometimes preppy.. I got inspired from various source too, mostly music, movies, streetstyle blogs all over the world, comics etc. However overall in my outfits I always want to keep it balance: not too heavy, not too light, not too girly, not too strong (Can you just guess what horoscope I am? Obviously a Libra - the "I need balance in everything" kind of kids!). Ok enough words, here comes awkward photos:

Pretty much casual outfit when we were going out last week. I just want to be as quick as possible since I overslept that day.. So yeah, oxford, ripped jeggings and collar-t shirt would do :)

My outfit at ClubDay. I wore a velvet red dress from Mango. And since girly is never my type, I tried to "man up" (is that even appropriate to use as a girl?) by wearing a striped shirt over it. Those pretty friendship bracelets are gift from my friend, and somehow coincidentally it matched my colorful benie (I'm obsessed with hats and benie now guys..)

Some latest purchase! It's fall now, meaning time for cardigan! So I wore my grandma-like-cardigan, with my My Chemical Romance T shirt (best.band.ever!) and black skinnies. Wearing a rock T-shirt will never completed without some studded leather bracelets, so I wore them too. And ta-dah, here comes my new favourite purchase: the floral laptop case! It's soooo pretty and soft and colorful and just light up everything around it. I even got a discount since I bought it in the Halloween party (remember it? Night of Living Dead) so yeah, extra happiness :D

End of the I-need-to-improve-my-pose post, see ya later x
