Self-Styling Process!!

Last week, I had my hair trimmed n' my hair stylist told me that I look best w/ long hair.... 

Well, well, well, she is not the only one comments like that.  But I never really believed that until I done having fun w/ short hair now and can't wait to grow my hair back!! ^O^

Although I don't look ugly in short hair, certainly I like myself in long trims better!!


You know, the self-styling is the hardest, no matter it is for your hair, your dress, your make-ups, or even the way you walk, talk, .......EAT.... everything sums up to the way you look in public!! That all becomes your signature style!! 

You know, you don't have to envy those celebrities. They probably are no prettier than you if they don't have a stylist to help them out!!! ^O^ 

I skip the make-ups part since I don't know how to set up a cam recorder yet, so lets jump to the clothes instead. 

Just pretend I am talking along w/ those pic. for now. :P


The ordinary layered tanks n' H&M draped skirt. 

Vintage teal/turquoise leather/suede vest dress (Frienze) for extra color depth. 

The outfit is still plain n' boring.........

There I grab a fur collar and wrapped over the vest dress. Now the whole outfit starts looking "being-styled" w/ a character.


Ah, Ilona's having fun w/ camera shots, she chased the camera wherever i set it up!! :) ...geez, my bruise are all over my knee....

The leather vest dress is really interesting as there are suede patched on both sides!! 

The leather dress has asymmetrical zipper pull n' the rich teal color compliment my skin tone very well. 

I am happy to find something like that ...even it costs me $90..but if a full price item w/ that 60s style, it definitely costs way more!!!

There, my complete outfit for today!!

Chanel 09' bow mesh booties, 09' beige medium/large caviar classic flap, mocha/beige asymmetrical scarf shrug n' fur color.

See you tomorrow..... more styling tips....... xoxo Rachel

R, very nice vintage find! The color is very nice. If ever I am in San Francisco, you need to tell me where to shop for vintage as we don't have that here! :D

BTW, speaking of leather jacket, it reminds me to tell you that I just realize we have the same brown leather jacket from Max & Co, no wonder it looks so familiar! LOL! Do you mind if I ask you how much it is in US? In HK, the price is around US$700, not sure whether USA or HK is cheaper in terms of Max & Co / Max Mara.

Oh, and your SR outfit is very entertaining and whimsical...hahahaha! Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. I need to watch that movie! :D

Cheers,
Mia

you look great both ways of course, but i think i love your short cut more! your short cut looks so chic, stylish, and sharp!

I actually love your new hair style, I think it is super chic, sexy, and looks great with all your stylish clothes. I believe hair is the last step to complete the whole look, and you look beautiful. I will keep it this length. ;)

I like your hair both long and short :)
For me, I like the idea of cutting really long locks short just for the fun of seeing it grow back again. You wear your hair it doesn't wear you, if you know what I mean ;)

Great find on the leather jacket btw!
hey, Mia:
I will make sure I show you some places when you are in USA>

The Max&Co. leather jacket is about $635 which is not that much different in pricing.

hah.. before you see that movie, make sure you already see Charlie n' the Chocolate factory. :)
Thanks, DesignCatalog n'

I probably should keep the length n' get a long wig... :P It is good to know that I look good in short hair too. ^O^
ha, MadaboutU, thank you for such a compliment. The short hair is nice but I do have to flat-ironing it since my hair is kind curvy from previous perm.

Oh, I like the curl of your hair...you know the two sides, they look very nice on you. :)
Thanks R! I might really go to San Francisco in mid-November to attend Kai's wedding. Still need to plan coz we're having this huge party for Mason's 3yr old bday end of November. If we really go, I'll let you know in advance. :D

Anyway, I forgot to tell you, I like you in short hair better. Reminds me of Victoria Beckham (and you need that burgundy croc birkin she has...LOL!!). :D So is it good or bad? Hehehehhee! Besides, I really think you look much more younger in your short hair now. :D

Cheers,
Mia
