Print ME aloveee
why do boring colour blocks when you can do cool prints?
Am in green today. With many patches of shades of green on my top too. I like prints. So should you.
I have an obsession with pants. This obession is mainly how I am consumed with a need to find the best fitted pants ever, to my body shape that is. It is always so easy to find a dress, or skirt, or better yet, long skirt that is figure-forgiving and hides all your flaws. But I think I am speaking for all the women out there, that we wish we could find a pair of pants that well, skims the curves and hides all the flaws there is to hide – saddlebags, muffin tops – the names are many and nasty too.
Also, is it true that certain pant cuts are suited to certain body types? like how high wasited pants never look good on people with fat thighs? Or how cigarette pants are only for cigarette-slim pins? AH. The questions and answers are ridiculously hard to come by without any empirical evidence! This will hence be my next pet project, busy schedule aside, to try out different pants. And then prove everyone (everyone who has been telling me about the right cut for the right person when i insist it’s the right fit) that it’s the right FIT, not the RIGHT CUT – and everyone can wear pants of any cut!
First up:
The high-waisted wide-legged straight
The high waisted super wide leg flared
The low waisted wide legged flare
The harem pants, or pantoloons (is that how you spell it?)
I really like harem pants. ALOT. I like pale pink. I also really really like shiny sateen. Put them all together and you know i am dying to get a pair of these.
The highwaisted skinny pants hybrid
The cigarette! and Ms. Audrey Hepburn herself
And alot of recent additions: Jeggings = jeans + leggings
Wish CHERRY LUCK (:
Olivia Palermo
There is something about Olivia Palermo that really appeals to me. The fact that you do not hear much about her, or maybe how she always looks fresh from a bath, or that she is always going easy on makeup. There is also something very comfortable about her face that while she’s really pretty, she also exudes an aura of calm that’s a sight for sore eyes. As Bernie of OCEAN Thirteen says ” ‘NUFF SAID” (:

When was the last time you decided to do nothing but romp around in bed?
And even if you’re romping, do it with style at home.

The weather has been really hot recently, after seeing plenty of rain. Do you know in Hongkong, it’s still cold at this time (now) when spring/summer would have otherwise already arrived in previous years? Global warming is really a concern and we really need to do something about it.
As a voracious reader, CHERRY has came across an article recently about how the consumption of meat is one of the major contributing sources of greenhouse gases. In fact, the amount of greenhouse gases arising from the entire livestock industry (from rearing, harvesting, processing, transporting etc.) is more than all the amount of greenhouse gases arising from the transportation industry! Such is the magnititude of the comsumption of meat on Earth right now – quite disgusting, no? All this when consuming too much meat is not good for your health too. Personally, I have banned myself from KFC chicken for the cruelty to animals and am now really glad I did – think of all the greenhouse gases emitted from the transportation of the chickens, killing of chickens etc. Currently, chicken and fish are about the only meats I consume most. Occasionally I have my bah chor mee and duck confit, anything else is a no-go. I plan to cut out the types of meats I consume as a slow and sure way to control my personal meat consumption.
What I am trying to say is if everyone just could cut out one type of meat (preferably red meats because without which you would still survive and that it doesn’t do anything fantastic to your health) we could reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by decreasing meat consumption demand.
It is more than an environmental issue, or just a health issue. I think it’s time we all stood together to take a united stand on something this important to our present, our future and our very existence. I mean, if we can’t even stand together on the same page to do something that can only be all good for us, then what hope is there left for humanity?
Oh well, let’s just see what we could do with another ice age.
sometimes, even cherries need a break.
let’s talk about something other than fashion or style today..let pictures voice all that yearnings you could never place a finger on. let’s remember again what pictures were meant to do
– capture souls and evoke feels.
rainy days
sleepy days
wedding days
and sometimes, this is always how we feel.
i just wanna go home.
KOREAN Streetstyle, KPOP, KFashion = KSTYLE
Last 2009 December, Cherry took a trip to Seoul, to see what the fuss was about: Korean fashion and style. One thing that really stood out (though it was winter) on the streets was that girls and boys alike have a great sense of style. There is also a distinctive flavour to street dressing that is worth being captured here for your attention. The use of colours and prints for one, was something really refreshing and girls over there, love their heels. Nevermind slippery ice patches or the insane amount of walking you’ve got to do in their underground subway maze! And considering the sub zero temperatures, these people really don’t wear enough, so Cherry’s thinking, how do they build that ironman resistance to cold?!
Another quirky thought: KOREAN GIRLS ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL – FACT OR FICTION
Cherry’s take – fiction. While all the KPOP superstars look almost too perfect to be true, people on the streets, while a good mix of good-looking, are more stylish than anything else. So don’t be mythed. Still, CHERRY LOVES SEOUL FASHION.
old cherries.
It’s the Good Friday public holiday tomorrow. A great day for vintage inspiration. Back when people still remembered to take time off to do nothing at all, but give thanks to the good things in life.
The beautiful silhouettes and drape of fabric is something that is relevant, even today. Sometimes, vintage is given a modern twist:
