This month’s fashion challenge is hosted by Petite on a Penny:
Create an outfit for a summer wedding (the dress code is up to you). For bonus points try to make your whole outfit, head to toe, come in under $100! (Or, exclude shoes and accessories to meet the $100 mark.)
During the past Canadian long weekend, a close friend was getting married in Vancouver but I had other commitments back home in Toronto, thus resulting in an extremely short trip to Vancouver. I went to the airport in my dress for the wedding.

My outfit for the wedding
Last month I participated in ShoptheMag.com campaign in supporting in promoting Asian designers. I have only a limited number of clothing items from Asian designers and limited knowledge of the Asian fashion industry, becase I rarely go to Asia (twice in my life only). However, with the internet, Asian designer clothing are much more accessible.
I sent in the following photos for their campaign. The clutch is from a Hong Kong brand Anteprima. Their handbags are unique in that they are made from gimp string! For a while as a kid, making bracelets out of gimp string was all the rage!
This month’s challenge, hosted by Long Live Classy, is as follows:

Just a few photos from my girlfriend’s wedding at the end of October.
In traditional Chinese weddings, the groom goes to the bride’s house to pick her up. Prior to entering the house, the groom needs to give the bridesmaid a red pocket (money), which is negotiated at the door. However, that’s not it – the bridesmaids and the bride’s girlfriends don’t make it easy and the groom and his entourage is subjected to various obstacles and games.

For a wedding at the swanky Windsor Arms Hotel in Yorkville, this vintage-feel BCBG dress with heart-shaped bodice, lace skirt, and soft waves in my hair was fitting. I considered finger waves, for my hair, but it was beyond my skill level. I had another more suitable clutch in mind, but couldn’t locate it in my messy room!

May’s Challenge: “Spinning The Favorite”Many times we settle with a style and rarely venture out to explore new ways to piece clothes and style outfits in new and different ways. With this month, I’m hoping for all of us to venture out of our comfort zones to expand our styling skills.Thus, the challenge will be to take a “go-to” outfit, put a spin on it by styling it in a different way but still keeping a couple of essential components.If changing up the your signature style is too great of a feat or if your closet just doesn’t quite allow it, you can keep within your signature style but tweak a few items to transform your outfit for a different occasion. read more
