Stepping out at night - romantico Italiano

Mr. Pendleton's night out...

Dressing up for stepping out. What could be better? If you are going to spend a wonderful day with friends at a picnic (Thanks Stan, Sara and Cruz!!!) and then have a romantic Italian dinner with the most beautiful woman, you had better dress for the part.

Love this picture's contrast...focusing on the clothes and the wine but showing a lively atmosphere in the background. Perfect evening!

Red wine gives me that dreamy look...aaahhh wine, I love you!

To start, we see the combination of the golden deer's head lapel pin and the golden crown cuff links, worn on the Pierre Balmain French cuff shirt. 

I love you deer...

The look I went with, for our rustic, Italian dinner-and-wine date, was a tweed ensemble. It was well warm and still comfortable enough. I like how it almost looks like I'm at a station or something, waiting for my love to arrive...

Stopping to ponder for a bit.

The combination of the blazer, waistcoat and tweed trousers made for a nice, reserved outfit for evening shots, thanks to the wonderful skills of my photographer, Amanda.

Hey you! Where are you going?

Dark colors at night with some color from the foliage in the background made for some nice shots, breaking the monochromatic with some understated vividness.

Sit here and rest for a bit. Modelling is hard work!

I think the vintage tweed look with the baker boy cap worked quite well in the setting of the old buildings and large, wooden doors.

Nobody does the fake-walk better than me...

I love this next picture, maybe because of the connection between my bowed head and the shadow? It looks rather ominous and mysterious. I had to do a double-take to figure out I hadn't grown horns.

Begone, evil demon-horn beast!!!

I adore the angles in this picture and the contrasting light/dark patches, again with the shadow of the tree playing mysteriously in the background. I also really like how the golden sleeve garters and the jewelry stand out subtly against the shirt's striped pattern.

Move towards the light...

A bit of simulated action in the next two shots - looks like I'm doing a bit of a turn and then walking away, but actually they were two totally different shots at different times.

And, finally, a close-up to nicely capture my crosshatch tweed blazer and straight-razor-trimmed facial hair...

[Men's Style] Bringing back the waistcoat!

THE BENEFITS OF THE WAISTCOAT

Almost forgotten, the waistcoat is an extremely underrated item of clothing, which NEEDS to make a comeback!

Let me just check the prices...

The waistcoat conveys several advantages to its wearer. I will list the top 5, but there are innumerable.

Make sure it matches your socks...

#1. Beat the heat - If it is too hot to wear a blazer, it can be hard to get that stylish, formal look if you want to step out. A waistcoat bridges the gap by giving you a formal appearance, but at the same time keeping you cool enough.

#2. Mix it up - Wearing a waistcoat gives you another layer of depth to your style arsenal. It gives you the chance to bring in another color, or match something understated that you want to draw attention to.

Style is not just black and white...it's BLUE and white!

#3. Hidden depths - Wearing a waistcoat gives you a chance to wear braces, which are very comfortable, without getting stared at by the less well-informed masses.

Can you tell my secret?

#4. Accessorize it up - A waistcoat is a great place to pin a lapel pin, wear a pocket watch, etc. that you would usually only be able to do with a jacket of sorts. Now you can add jewelry to your outfit without the weight or heat of a heavy blazer.

#5. Vintage values - A waistcoat is just SUCH a funky, retro, vintage item that EVERYONE should wear them. Being able to pull off the waistcoat look makes a man feel instantly more mature and sophisticated. And peaceful within...

There you have it...5 reasons to bring back the waistcoat. What's YOUR excuse for not having one yet? Or 5...

[Women's Style] Asilio lace top 不曉得女士們眼中的夢幻蕾絲上衣在男士們眼裡會不會是蕾絲桌巾呢？

雖然不熱愛超級甜美的感覺,但內心深處有一小塊是對美麗的蕾絲衣服無法抗拒的

我知道許多男士們會覺得印花=窗簾,蕾絲=桌巾,請別這麼煞風景好嘛！

雖然說很多印花穿起來像窗簾,蕾絲像桌巾,但也有些是很美很特別,

努力不要讓自己淪為窗簾或桌巾的品牌或單品啦！

Couples look - B&W Part II

Black and White - Part II

For the gentlemen:

Going for the Pendleton vintage look, I wore my blue polka dot braces and baker boy cap. I love wearing the braces, especially when your trousers fight quite snugly. They just make you feel so much more comfortable and free,

Better to look a little quirky than very boring!

 Black and white will always go well together, because of their striking contrast. Use it to your advantage! Taking pictures at night with contrasting backgrounds will help create good effects.

My baseball pitch pose?

 A good photographer can work angles to her advantage to make the picture even more stunning.

Mmmm, good form ...

 Always try to show off your best asset whenever you get a chance!

Wonder what's MY best ASSet?

[Women's Fashion] 我需要顯瘦神器

人生體重總有走到高峰的時候,很慶幸我正在下山的路了哈哈

有時候就是需要顯瘦神器騙騙別人的眼睛,也暫時矇蔽自己的眼睛,讓心裡好受一點.

這件全黑的連身褲就是我的顯瘦神器！

蕾絲的細節很美,是讓我一見鍾情的原因.雖然是全黑但還是有點變化.

另一點當然就是要穿超高的高跟鞋拉長比例,這樣看起來就會瘦一點了!

這次很無聊的選了黑色和白色,不過我覺得有時候不用太浮誇,簡簡單單的就夠了.

就如同我對婚禮的想法,簡簡單單不鋪張,我最重視的幾個點有做到最好就好.

其他什麼排場啦～換幾件禮服啦～多夢幻啦～都不必了.

我就是這樣固執,專注在我想要的,我在意的點上,其他我就都看不上囉！

回到我的美衣,這是一個我很愛的英國設計師品牌Self Portriat

這款蕾絲連身褲是閨密之前送我的生日禮物,但礙於許多原因,我現在比較常穿

恩...其實許多原因沒有其他,就是覺得之前胖到配不上他,所以不常穿

每次出門前,內心都會上演一個穿搭小劇場

會先想一個主要的風格和感覺,然後再決定可以滿足的個主題的穿搭,還有妝

別覺得這樣很費工夫,我相信在許多女孩的腦袋裡,這些都是電光石火幾分鐘內就解決的事情

這世界上沒有人阻止妳變美,想變美就得為自己做點什麼

想穿得漂漂亮亮出門,那先思考你要呈現什麼樣子,你希望你看起來會是怎樣吧！

最後補充一個小秘訣,如果你不是天生瘦子,拍照的時候不妨用包包稍微擋住你在意的地方

例如前幾張照片裡我都有稍微用包包擋住我的身體,

遮住的同時焦點也轉移到包包身上啦！

高科技一點就是用PS,可惜我以前電腦課都在跟朋友聊天,

電腦作業都請我表姐幫我做,所以我一竅不通啦！（我承認我上電腦課時就是個廢物）

因為不會PS,只好多注意拍照姿勢了！之後有其他的心得再繼續分享！

[Couples look] Black 黑

Couples Look: Black

The look here is dark, edgy, making a statement as a couple. Looking good together keeps you feeling good together. Just like your outfits should complement each other to make the other person look better than they would by themselves, so should dressing up and drawing attention make you draw closer to your partner.

Say what?

 The filter here is a dynamic enhancer, grabbing the edges and highlights of the picture. It can even make MY weird features look good!

Let me think about that ..., you're still wrong.

 Love the black and bright gold in the background playing off each other.

What's the point of having facial hair if you're not going to constantly play with it?

 Remember, push the limits! Even if people say you resemble a cartoon character, AT LEAST YOU "VE GOT SOME!

我想連體褲的美好只有廣大的女性同胞才懂,穿一件就出門多方便阿!!

有時候只想穿一件,又不想穿洋裝的時候,連體褲就是我們的好朋友啦!

漸漸入冬,終於又到了穿全黑不會熱死的季節

這一身all black可以說是偷懶又不偷懶

全黑連體褲+黑色高跟鞋確實偷懶.

但是高跟鞋上的金邊和金色真珠耳環是今天的小細節

所以也沒有完全偷懶啦!

這件連體褲的材質很舒服,布料是類似西裝的布料,所以質感很好

裡面的布料是滑滑的那種緞面,很舒服,但在這種潮濕的國家一流汗就開始覺得煩了,

正所謂有一好沒兩好.為了不要因為流汗很不舒服而影響出門的心情,

下次我應該會涼一點再穿,加個帥帥的皮外套和靴子...嘿嘿

會愛上這件主要是因為交叉綁帶,我自己覺得它的前交叉的肩帶很美又有點性感,

但連到後面後卻變的有點可愛,露背的範圍也是美的剛剛好.

越看越覺得再揹書包.是童心未泯吧!

最重要的是,它有口袋. 有些連體褲礙於款式設計,沒有口袋.

所以發現它有口袋後心裡幫他大加分.
