Sustainable Fashion: Slow & Green Styling
環保時尚——讓穿衣也慢下來吧
想環保，除了日常減少外帶、自備水瓶購物袋之外… 穿在身上的，也可以有環保意識嗎？
Eco-conscious ideas are not limited to bring your own water bottle… Dress sustainably is a trend!
【環保時尚——讓穿衣也慢下來吧】
「快很好，但慢更有價值。」
想環保，除了日常減少外帶、自備水瓶購物袋之外……
穿在身上的，也可以有環保意識嗎？
大家應該還記得，幾年前我曾經開Fashion Online Store，那幾年的時間，學到的許多，但感受的更多：衣服太易買、太常買，麻木地花了金錢又佔了位置。素食後，更進一步，讓我真的反思衣物生產時對工人、地球、動物及面料帶來的影響。
近年，除了貼身衣物外，我也很少再買衣服。因為，在香港，要找到Sustainable Wardrobe不容易，外國買有時要付上大筆運費。前陣子發現Sherilyn，單是色彩的美學就跟我很配，設計細節位也簡單俐落，最重要是，日本製的面料穿上去非常舒適，其中有件我這兩星期都經常穿呢。而且他們都選用有環保認證染的面料，染布都選用天然植物萃取的植物染；要知道化學品染布其實都很衍生許多環境污染問題，減少污染其實是環保的第一步。
「快很好，但慢更有意思。」
現在到Sherilyn下單，可享85折優惠呢！

Early Summer Romance
Artwork by MakeYour Choicesss Flora Lab
I guess Hong Kong is a place you could rarely find the feeling of Spring.
However, I love to bring back the romantic feeling of the season by what I wear. Not having to wear too many layers of bulky clothes like in the cold days, and not socked with sweat like in the humid summer, but just put on a knit sweater. A soft, high-quality knit sweater can keep you warm when it is cold while it maintains you cool when it is hot.
Here I styled two early summer looks in BLUE, a colour which I love wearing all year around!
香港跟春天，大概是很難相提並論的兩字。天氣總由最寒冷的冬天一下子跳到盛夏，總捉不住春天的感覺。
可是，春末夏至的浪漫感，我卻非常響往。不需要再像嚴冬中穿笨重的大衣，也並沒有汗流浹背的煩惱，套著一件薄薄的一個毛衫，冬暖夏涼，也非常舒服。 我會以兩個Head to Bottom的全藍造型，把春末夏至的感覺穿出來！
- LOOK: 1 -
Gradient of Lavender from Top to Down
Outfits:
(Knit Sweater) Vitos
(Vest) Grana
(Skirt) mukmuk: wardrobe
(Sneakers) Pairs in Paris
When wearing top to bottom the same colour, I always try to mix and match items with different texture and volume. The gradient blue of the cashmere sweater is the key item of the look, so as to continue and extend the gradient, I paired with a wrap skirt in deep blue. The hand-spray dye technique on the extra-light cashmere makes the over-sized sweater feeling so airy and beautiful. And it even looks good too when it is on shoulders!
- LOOK: 2 -
Special Texture & Layering
Outfits:
(Knit Sweater) Vitos
(Dress) Zara
(Sneakers) Pairs in Paris
A navy knit sweater is always my one of top items in my wardrobe. Basically, it goes well with everything: jeans, high-waisted pants, A-line skirt or even with a one piece. And for this summer, a camisole dress is my must-have item - if wearing a one piece alone is too sexy for you, try to wear with a tee, a shirt or even a sweater inside would give your look a totally different feeling.
Vitos 1925 - the most famous French knitwear brand during the post-war boom, is now bringing back its finest quality of clothes with a fresh and creative style. Aiming to make clothes for contemporary women, the new collection is timeless, elegant and truly comfortable. Be a "Parisienne" by dressing in one of the most historical clothing brand in France!

New York Date Night
Have been thinking how it feels like to be in the states for quite a while (after watching so many Hollywood movies). And finally I am here visiting the vibrant New York City.
從小到大，多得看過無但數荷里活電影，一直在想如何美國是什麼感覺。 紐約市，像是世界上的一個聚焦點，城市上精采的五光十色，早已聽說過。
A beautiful bar corner inside Vin et Fleurs.
The first night I spent in this place. We had a nice dinner in a beautiful French restaurant named Vin et Fleurs in Soho area. Everything about french seems to be delicate and romantic. Even the lights in the front door of the restaurant could tell.
And the famous spot - Times Square. We arrived a little bit late on a Monday night. Less crowded as usual, but everything is still really lively. So much my imagination of American-Manhanttan vibes.

I am a Gentle-Woman
"When I was a kid, my dad liked to dress me like a boy - I never have had a pair of little girls' shoes - those cute and pretty one. But instead, I am always being dressed in a boyish and decent style, like a little Gentle-Girl." Because of this memory, the designer - Yaya (the designer behind if&n, want to convert that memory into the collection of this season.
Here I want to share my two outfits, both wearing dress or skirt: a feminine and a boyish style. Being polite, well-mannered, like a gentleman, but the term "gentleman" shouldn't be limited to men only, right?
女生天生優雅，卻跟男生的帥氣互相配合。
「小時候爸爸很喜歡把我當成男生，會穿得正正經經，從沒有一雙小女生的鞋子。是穿得很帥氣的感覺 - 是很一個很Gentle的小女生。」因為這段回憶，她想把那段記憶用設計衣服記下，所以有了這個collection。
這次想試一試有質感的配搭。純白大衣、簡黑裙子、深藍套裝、鮮紅包包。穿衣服，跟當自己一樣重要 - 讓自己感覺更自主、更強、更美吧。
- feminine -

The statement piece I am wearing is the big white coat. The right kinds of silhouettes empower you instantly. Wearing a V-neck suede dress with the coat, two different fabric makes the whole outfit more.
- Boyish -
like a gentleman
NEW ATTITUDE IN THE SUIT
Calm White with Strong SilhouettE
A new wardrobe in the new year means something much more than just some new outfits. Dressing in a brand new style, having a fresh hair-do, allow me to have a brand new start.
Wearing the same coat, but a totally different style with the blazer & skirt set. A simple, yet powerful combination.

A new year start with a new attitude. A new wardrobe, a new thinking, and a list of new year resolution. It is time to write another year review, look into what can we achieve in the next year.
WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR,

What to Wear in 24 Hours [Christmas]
It is the most wonderful time of the year again! There are three festivals that I like a lot - Chinese New Year, Mid-autumn Festival and Christmas. These festivals are the time for us to gather with our family and friends, to spend precious time together. Here I want to show you some ideas of what to wear in Christmas; and as a minimalist, how to dress up myself to achieve a festive look without getting too many items!
This styling lookbook has featured one of my favourite Taiwan brands - if&n. The details, the texture and feelings of their clothes are unique and special. I've also visited their work studio and talked with designer Yaya, and that was truly inspiring. I will share more of the visit in the next blog post!
聖誕節！一年最美妙的時刻... 我最喜歡三個節日？中國新年，中秋節和聖誕節。這些節日的共通點，是讓我們可以與家人朋友好好聚一聚，共同度過一段段美好的時光。無論你聖誕節的計劃是什麼（是派對？是與心愛的人好好吃一個浪漫的晚餐？還是簡單的會家人聚會？），我也想分享我在聖誕節的穿搭。像我這樣喜歡極簡主義的人，可以如何打扮自己，又比可以平時更特別、更「聖誕」一點呢？
這次在台北拍的穿搭，也特別穿了我很欣賞的品牌 - if&n 2017 FW的衣服。他們家的衣服，很有質感 - 既優雅，而每一季也有不同的靈感慨念。我特地和他們團隊的設計師Yaya和Neko談過，也到過他們的工作室，我稍後一點會再寫到訪的文章喔！

SEXY YET CLASSIC
The little black dress with a petite jacket
This navy, petite jacket with ribbon details is a good item to go with a simple one piece. You can either wear it tighten up with a "Ribbon" (wrap yourself like an X'mas Gift!) or just wear it as it is, and show a little skin. Here I am wearing a V-neck little black dress, the suede fabric adds more texture to the whole look. Over 90% of time I would choose to wear a little black dress in parties. Why? Because it is simple, classic and effortless. You can never go wrong with it.

CHRISTMAS DAY
FESTIVE AND STYLISH
Red Dress AND White Culottes
It's finally the Christmas Day - the most wonderful time of the year! I like to spend the day with friends and family - Having Christmas lunch and having barbeque party are the most fun thing to do! Meanwhile I like to wear the most festive colour "Red". This is an overall dress I got last year (I wore it on the last CNY, too), and I style it with a pair of culottes for an extra layer, also to keep me warm even it is cold outside. Trust me, wearing a pair of pants underneath a dress is the trend that you must try in this season!
Don't be afraid of festive colour! Believe in the colour therapy, and sometimes wearing bright colour will instantly brighten up yours, and your friends' mood, too!
WISH YOU A MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS,

Say No To Negative Thinking
I don't know about you, but some days I wake up with such negative emotions and anxiety that just glue me to my bed for hours of uselessness, until even the stillness in oblivion could not bear me and pushed me away. Lack of confidence, low energy, self-doubt... Negativity has been a haunting nightmare, worse than any imagination of wardrobe malfunction.
I tend to indulge myself in these negative thinking. Some people combat this problem by immersing themselves in entertainment or substances. Perhaps sleeping and solitude was my distraction too, but as everyone knows, nightmares are a force to ignore, they linger somewhere in your room, patiently waiting for the moment you lose down your guard, and strike mercilessly.
So recently I decided to face this problem upfront, and to learn more about these thinkings. I started to ask myself "What do you really want?" "Who do you really want to be?"
我並不是樂觀的人。幾年前曾經輕度抑鬱，兩年前漸漸變好。(也謝謝身邊的男朋友和朋友！1）
可是，誠實的告訴你，有時我仍會讓消極情緒和焦慮影響到。沒自信、自我懷疑... 這些消極、負面的思想其實一直在傷害自己。
有些人會選擇逃避、有些人會沈醉在負面的情緒中。雖然我不是什麼self help專家，我卻想分享幾點、對我非常有效的小建議：包括寫作、創作、和自己對話等等... 問自己「你真正需要什麼？你想成為一個怎樣的人？」好好了解自己，也許是心靈的最好解藥。
Write It Down
Listen to Yourself, Know Yourself.
Sit down, grab a pen and a piece of paper, write down everything that you've been thinking. No matter it is about "what is in my working schedule?" "What should I eat for lunch?" or "How do I feel this morning?"; try to write down everything that is running through your mind. Writing is a process of self-listening; most importantly, you are also observing your mind. Get to know what is in your mind is a crucial factor to knowing what your problems are.
Talk To Yourself
Be Honest, and Precise
When I was younger, I used to think that those people who whisper or talk with themselves are weird. (Boyfriend alert.) Only now I realized it is the best way to communicate with yourself. (He talks to himself even in his sleep.) Our world constantly make it difficult for us to concentrate in our mind. Try to talk to yourself in the morning, ask yourself: What kind of day do you want? What can I do in order to achieve it? In the evening, refresh your mind by listing the things you have achieved, your most enjoyable moments, and say goodbye to negative thoughts; you will begin to feel serenity and it definitely improves your sleeping quality too.
Just simply say "I know you can do better tomorrow!" "Thank you for being yourself." You will be amazed by the power of your thoughts.
Learn To Be Happy Alone
Loneliness is a Blessing
“Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love.” ― Erich Fromm.
Most people underestimate the importance of being alone. I am a person who loves personal space, most of the time I prefer having a cup of coffee and reading alone instead of hanging out with friends. (Yes, I am an introvert.) Meditating, reading, dreaming... It also means you have to refuse to look at your phone for some time. (What is it for anyway?) When you know how to be alone, you stay calm and peace in a quiet environment, you can take care of yourself and so you now know how to take care and love the others, too!
I am not a self-help guru, and I do spend a lot of time and effort to learn how to cope with negativity. I know how hard it is to cope with stress, at the same time I cannot deny - we are the only person who can thoroughly understand ourselves. Try not to focus on the past, and concentrate on here and now - What can I do for a better me?
Be ready to change, your life is yours, live it as you choose!

Playing with Black & White
Black and white, which one are you?
Some like it black, some like it white. They are like the couple who never agrees with each other but they live in perfect harmony. It is punishingly hard to stand out from the crowd wearing these colours, as they are the safest choices among the cliches. But with a little creativity and details, you may just be able to do it!
穿黑與白，不一定是沈悶的配搭。只要著重質地、比例上配搭花些心思，黑白也可以不一樣。
我嘗試配搭著兩款比較優雅和不同的造型，利用著兩款Statement的單品：黑色透視上衣及白色泡泡長裙，配搭了兩個和平時不一樣的Style。
The Black Daisy
All about layering & mixing different texture
Top - Ziztar | Skirt - mukmuk: wardrobe
Flared sleeves mesh top with a black asymmetrical skirt. The outfit went well together playing off textures, the top being a great statement piece while the other part keeping low-profile. The little daisy flower stitch just stole my heart!
The WHite gown
Voluminous Statement White Maxi-skirt
Top - Vintage | Skirt - Ziztar
Still remember my last post, How French Woman style their clothes? I cannot stress enough the importance of knowing your proportion. Here I styled a light weight crop top with the voluminous white gown to balance out the outfit. This statement maxi-skirt instantly brought the outfit to another level. The high-waisted fits of the skirt also made the legs look longer, I looked at least 5cm taller without heels here!
Every details make a difference.
Pay attention to finding your statement piece, feel free to mix & match with your creativity! Your imagination will always bring colours to your outfit, even they are in black or white.

Stay Dry in Rainy Days
Bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze... Who doesn't love them? Living in Hong Kong, is very hot and humid in summertime, with frequent thunderstorms and occasional typhoons. I remember when I was still in primary school, I used to wear my "Yellow Raincoat" a lot (the kind that you can even cover your big backpack) during rainy days because it was so convenient to move around!
And yes, I've found this classic, stylish and practical raincoat from Stutterheim (Stockholm, Sweden) last month! I am sure I can live with it for the coming 10 years... Here I styled this Navy raincoat with a daisy-printed dress from my select shop (mukmuk: wardrobe), and a pair of white sneakers from Reebok - to balance the "Boyish" raincoat and sneakers with a cute one-piece.
今年夏天，香港的天氣除了異常的熱，更已經有4個颱風。
異常的天氣帶來大風和雨水，外出時總覺得很不方便。記得小學時下雨，媽媽總愛讓我穿上雨衣，黃黃的，可以把大書包也蓋起那種。長大後，一直在找要找到一件合心意又合身的雨衣；直到一個月前在Instagram看到 Stutterheim 的雨衣，一眼就愛上了。北歐的設計，實用、又經典，還要是我極喜歡，又百搭的海軍藍色。為了平衡這件Unisex的雨衣和 Reebok 白波鞋的男孩感覺；我就選擇內搭一條我店中的印花圖案的短花連身裙 (mukmuk: wardobe)。看著雨水在雨衣外滑下，很治癒啊～

My definition of Beauty + Day to Night Looks
Beauty - I think it is a combination of qualities. Feeling confident, work-life balance, enjoying happiness and surrounded by love.
I feel pretty when I woke up at 6 am and go to a 30 minutes run before starting the day; I feel pretty when I have time to make myself a healthy detox smoothie, and I feel pretty when I'm cuddling with my boyfriend... Beauty is not just about how I look, it is from the inside.
Someday when I want to boost my mood of the day, I like to spend more time to dress up and get my make up done - it energizes me for the whole day by looking good! I think this is the reason why my brother and I co-founded mukmuk: wardrobe (Independent Clothing Store) 3 years ago. And, to "celebrate" this milestone, we collaborated with BareMinerals, an international renowned beauty brand, to create this special campaign "Be Bare, Be Stylish".
美，是什麼？
我認為是不同特質的配合：有自信、工作和生活的平衡、享受快樂、有愛與被愛的勇氣。無論是30分鐘的晨跑、有時間自己做一杯新鮮的果汁、和男朋友一起看在沙發上看電視劇... 也讓我感到自己很美。
「美麗不只是外在，而是從內而外的一種氣牆。」
當然，有時我也想作作打扮，讓自己看上去(和感覺上)也充滿活力。穿衣、化妝... 總是一件愉悅的事。這也是我三年前和哥哥成立 mukmuk: wardrobe的原因吧！
為了慶祝開店三年，我們跟理念很相似的礦物品牌 BareMinerals HK 推出了一個專屬女生的禮品盒。我也分別設計了三個不同造型，從日至夜，展現最自己的風格。
What is "Be Bare, Be Stylish"?
To create our own style, unveil our own beauty instead of following the trend.
"Summer Beauty x Fashion" Gift Box Set
by mukmuk: wardrobe & BareMinerals
What is included?
1. READY 14.0 Eyeshadow Palette (#The Bare Sensuals) ***EXCLUSIVE
2. Gen Nude lipstick (Color: Tutu)
3. 3 Different Outfits [A] / [B] / [C]
Here I styled the 3 outfits we've chosen for the Box Set, with the eyeshadow palette and lipstick. Being inspired by rose, these eyeshadow colours are easy to go with day or night occasions!
For the Day
If there is only one thing I can to my face before heading out, it will always be my pink lips! It instantly brightens up the face - as I have a very pale skin tone, I always looking a bit tired even I get enough sleep. This lipstick is in a neutral shade of pink, which gives me a beautiful glow without too much colour (and go with any kind of outfit too!). The soft texture also keep my lips moisturized during the day.
And a little tip: I love to apply the lips stick on my cheek and blend it with finger tips, super easy and natural than using powder brush!
For the outfit, When it comes to summer, I always feel like wearing some pastel colours, and this canvas-inspired top & skirt set is my love in the first sight! Perfect for wearing together, the light texture keeps me from the heat during sunny summer day. Another outfit I am wearing is more like for the casual family or friends gathering, there are many possible ways to wear it. You can tie the knot in the front/side or even at the back. It is super comfy and every time I wear it I would think - "Well, I will keep this dress in my closet as long as I can!"
Here I used Gen Nude lipstick in colour Tutu (what a cute name!) and wearing Canvas Sleeveless Set / Linen Relaxed-fit Overall Dress
For the Night
Besides stripes, I think floral pattern is always one of my favourites. To create a romantic makeup look, I used this neutral-tone eye shadow palette to give my eyes more definitions. Using a light beige for the base on my upper eyelids, and a middle shade of brown at the outer-v of my eyelids; and finishing with a bright off-white on the tear duct to highlight. Only using three colours, it already gave my eyes a nice definition.
Here I used READY 14.0 eyeshadows (The Bare Neutals) and wearing Floral Chiffon Double Layers V-neck Long Dress

Guiltless Outfit Ideas
Girls we always want to look at our best.
That's why we are always doing shopping. And thank you for the convenience brought by the internet, online shopping makes everything easier. But, sometimes we just own more than we need; and most of the time we like to save money from buying new stuff. How about selling our pre-loved items online, and at the same time shop for some goodies at a discounted price?
Here I styled my three looks for different occasions: Working, Evening Dinner & Weekend Date.
愛美是女生的天性、愛購物同樣也是...
所以我們的衣櫃的空間總是不夠用；可是又想買更多...
有沒有想過，即使愛Shopping，同時也可以支持環保？假若把自己以往心愛的東西，可以賣出去；同時又可以折扣價錢買到一些新衣服的話...（省錢！） 又怎樣？假若整個過程可以網上完成的話，既方便又簡單，吸引嗎？把Shopping帶來的罪惡感也減低很多！
這次三個不同的穿搭，包括時尚上班、晚宴Party及假日玩樂 - 全部items也是在Guiltess這個網上二手交易平台找到的 - 不但多不同的設計師款色，物品也保養得很好。假如你也對這個環保的Idea有興趣，不妨到Guiltless x Charlotteinwhite看看，code: CHARLOTTE5 還可以得到全單額外5%折扣*！
Stylish Working Girl
The skirt is the statement piece of the look. The pleated pattern of it is a love at the first sight. It is perfect for wearing daytime into nighttime as well. Just take off the white jacket and you're ready to go for a drink! And to make it more comfortable in work, I wear a pair of pointed toe flat - painless but still, it polished the outfit.
Elegant Classy Girl
Although I love casual outfit, when it comes to attending a wedding banquet or company dinner, I like to dress in a slightly more glamorous way. Loving its silhouette, this high-waist line dress also elongates legs, the cut out near waist line also instantly make the whole outfit look chic. Here I wear my lace choker from mukmuk: wardrobe & a pair of classic pointed toe pumps for extra height.
And this cute camera clutch! It is always fun to play with every single detail - I never "over-accessorize", but I pay attention of every single accessory I wear.
Sporty Chic Girl
This look is totally for the weekend. Again, it is my favourite tone on tone combination. A classic yet chic pattern on the knit dress - it also helps to define the colour palette for this look. Navy, blue and white - here I paired with these plain sneakers, a 3-D print knot bangle from my friend's brand Zoee, and putting everything into the silver bucket bag.
If you like to shop for some good designer pieces like what I am wearing now, look at Guiltless x Charlotteinwhite now - and use code: CHARLOTTE5 and get 5% off the order* when you check out!
Fashion can be sustainable, and everyone can be stylish and "guiltless" in shopping at the same time too.

My Best Buy from Europe
HAUL (noun.)
: all the products purchased by someone during a particular episode of shopping.
So, what did I buy from the long trip on July?
When it comes to shopping during travel, I am a very "precise" person - I make sure I won't buy too many stuff that I don't need (and need to worry if my baggage is too heavy!) However, July was the big SALE season in most of the cities I visited this time (Paris, London, Berlin and Copenhagen); so I got myself some pretty nice stuff from independent shops and random vintage stores. Also, my recommendations on which district/neighbourhood to visit if these cities!
旅行就亂買？「下次就沒機會了、這些都很便宜啊、去旅行就別想這麼多吧！」有說中你的心底話嗎？我卻認為亂買的後果只有行李超重和荷包更傷... 所以我都會仔細考慮過才會入手的。讓我分享今次在歐洲 (巴黎，倫敦，柏林和哥本哈根)買到些什麼吧！大多也是從獨立品牌、Select Shop等等買到。我也發覺原來旅途上 最喜歡的活動，是發掘城市中一些比較有趣的小區：很多小商店、書店；特別的小餐廳、咖啡店等等聚集區域。文章中有這幾個城市中我發最掘到最「有趣地方」的推介。
London
This white top is from Emin + Paul. Attracted by its volume but lightness brought by the light fabric, perfect to pair with a pair of skinny pants. I've worn it a lot in the trip since I got it, as it is really comfortable to wear!
My another favourite lifestyle shop is Labour and Wait - I always want to purchase all their nice little things for my home. Shoreditch (East London) is basically the must-visit area whenever I am in London, as you could find many independent shops and designers there (also many of the hips cafès, too!).
Paris
This is the only item I got from Paris, a silver ring. (Eur35 > Eur 20!) Plus, it could be worn as a 2-side different style!
I am a huge fan of rings, and I like to wear several minimal yet special rings on hand when it comes to styling daily look. I found this little goodie in a Pop-up store in Le Marais, a small neighbourhood with different architecture of course, but the small lanes are alive with bars & restaurants, stylish fashion shops and hip designers, art galleries and museums etc... BigLove Cafè is one of my favourite place to eat in Paris, they serve good Italian food & dessert, and the interior is very lovely too.
Berlin
The open back dress - Loose cut, perfect length, with my favourite denim and showing a little but not too much skin. Perfect casual one-piece for Summer. It is from a concept store Kauf Dich Glücklich.
Last but my favourite is this nicest headband I've got from the weekend Fleamarket at Mauerpark. Every Sunday, this grassy field transforms into one of Berlin's most famous open-air flea markets. It is like a festival - besides over 100 stores, they have food stores/restaurant, also musicians playing for the public. From vintage to new designer brands & artists, there are more different stores than you can think!
So... What's your favourite neighbourhood to visit in these cities?
Loves,
Charlotte
