Maggie, Taipei

It was so windy when I took this photo that I was lucky to get this one shot where both the hair and skirt weren't blowing completely out of control! This photo of Maggie was also featured this week in The New York Times "Readers' Street Style" section. You can see it here. Have a great weekend everyone :)

Outfit | Walking & Waiting

I was going through and editing photos for our upcoming book, and it suddenly occurred to me that while I haven't been doing so many outfit posts lately, James has been taking hundreds and hundreds of photos of me every day so I really have no excuse. So here are some from awhile back, me walking, stalking and running after people on the streets!  

Wearing Uniqlo shirt and jeans, ZARA cardigan, Eastman boots and my new leather bag that I bought from a cool little boutique here in Taipei called Purr. And, please just ignore whatever is going on with my fringe!

What I love here is the contrast of the heavy military style jacket against the lightness of the sheer black skirt. It's so perfectly balanced.

Outfit | Feiyue x Agnès b. Sneaks + Giveaway

Took my new Feiyue x agnès b. sneakers out for a run around today in the beautiful morning sunshine. They're the most comfortable shoes, the dual toned canvas and suede design means they go with just about everything, and they're the perfect alternative to my much loved chucks. Also wearing ZARA pants, leather bag from Purr and the shirt is from a boutique in Singapore. I'm heading off for a quick trip to Hong Kong this weekend so I'll be back with some photos to share from there :)

A handful of photos from the Weekend Fever market in Ximending the other weekend. The theme was Green Green Grass, so as expected, I took lots of photos of people decked out in every shade of green you can imagine. From top to bottom: Joanna, Eugene, Jessie and Jessica. (A day also for names starting with "J"!)

We spent the afternoon out in Shih Chien today shooting street style and also doing more behind-the-scenes shots for our upcoming book. Having quite a bit of fun going around taking different shots and it's cool to go through the photos at the end of the day and see what we look like in action! Though it is a little bit different taking photos of people while knowing that you're also being photographed at the same time. Lots of click click clicks in the background. You can see the shot that James got of me taking this photo up on his site La Mode Outré.
