Summer again

A lovely sunny weekend in Brighton. Walked along the seafront in the morning. Had great lunch and tea. Shopped in Brighton Flea Market. And enjoyed the sunshine in the late UK summer time.

Alice Liddell


Visited Oxford on a half-sunny and half-rainy day. I was surprised to discover two shops in this historic town. Walters the Man Shop, the menswear shop selling classic and new labels pluses modern and traditional hair-dressing department within a three-floor building. Liscious Interior is an antique shop on quiet Walton Street. Many quality antiques, art pieces and furniture are on sale now due to the shop relocation. I also went to Alice's Shop. Admiring for real Alice's clothing and her dreamy adventures, I'm obsessed with the amazing fairy tale after this trip.

New antique found

Lovely antique camisole. Recent found from Portobello market. Love the Irish crochet and hand-embroidery.

Summer shorts

  

Black and white pokka dots shorts

100% silk

Elastic waistband

Black cotton piping at pocket entries

Centre creased

Not deliberately chose pokka dots fabric. Just because I eager for a shorts in this summer, and I accidentally found this silk fabric from my old fabric collections..... With light and stretchy characteristics of the fabric, this shorts is incredibly comfortable. To add some classy touches on it, I ironed it with centre creases and used black piping to highlight the pockets.

Minus Sun Private View

I was in the private view of Minus Sun in Brixton Village last Thursday. It was such a successful launching party. I was surprised to see all the cardboard fittings in Circus match very well with Yuka's collection. The exhibition completely shows Yuka's effort and enthusiasm on her works in these 6 years in London. I highly recommend everyone to visit this exhibition which will be running until 22rd July!

Another lovely shop I discovered from Brixton Village is Leftovers. Selling antique fashion and vintage finds, most of the clothing and accessories were collected from France. In Leftovers, you can finds a lot of unique items such as hand-crocheted collar pieces, beautifully hand-made cotton dresses with initial embroideries from 1920's, vintage Dior childrenswear...... I love every single piece in this shop. It probably become one of my favourite shops in London.

Minus Sun Launch Invitation

My friend's label Minus Sun is going to launch in Circus on this Thursday. I am so excited to join the private view. Her products are always well-made by her own hands. She is selling handmade resin buttons, rings, embroidered bracelets and bags in Circus now. I am here to make some Ads for her. The exhibition will showcase her final collection for the MA Fashion course in Kingston University from 8th-22nd July. Welcome everyone to drop in and give some feedbacks to her.
