FASHION: Phil Oh's Street Style #NYFW Edition

STREET STYLE HAS RETURNED!

Ooof, what a breath of fresh air. I feel like Paris Fashion Week was a blur so I’m focusing on the latest #NYFW. Have you been keeping up with the shows? I feel like I’ve been so uninspired by clothes and that very well could be because I don’t leave the house much and spend most my time crawling around picking up toys in sweatpants. So, I was a little jealous to see everyone out and about dressed up and putting their best foot forward. I’ll get there again, eventually? In the meantime - here are some of my favorite snaps.

Do you have a favorite street-style star? I always love to see the editors post show. Aimee Song is still one of my favorite OG bloggers and I always enjoy seeing what she wears. Missed so many people we normally see at shows but alas, the pandemic is still happening so I understand why people skipped out. Also, shoutout to everyone who still wore a mask because again….pandemic.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I have some great posts coming up this week so make sure to stay tuned.

I know August is almost over but there is still time to find some goodies online before seasons transition over. Lucky for me (kind of), I have ‘Summer’ all year long so this is the best time for me to shop. I’ve been shopping at Shopbop quite a bit since they ship to me super quickly and I love that you can make wishlists super easily. I’ve been doing my best to shop consciously and buy pieces I’ll be able to wear even once we leave Hawaii so I’ve stayed away from seasonal prints and opted for more traditional ones like stripes and, as seen above, polka-dots. This Ganni one has been on my mind for a minute - it came in white and black and all black with white polka dots. An internet friend of mine purchased in black and white and I was just so in love with how cute it looked on.

Another thing on my wishlist are martini glasses. Outside of rosé and an Aperol Spritz, extra dirty gin martinis have been my go-to at home. I’m sure most people find this horrible but I could almost do olive juice with a splash of gin and vermouth haha that’s how extra dirty I love it. Our night basically ends once Sofia goes to sleep at 7 pm so we’ve made it our mission to have date nights at home. I light a ton of candles, we cozy up on our lanai (patio) or the couch and watch something new on tv. I like to mix a martini so I feel like elevating my glassware is the perfect next step. I would love to find some vintage ones but next best thing? Crystal of course! Oh and if anyone wants to babysit so we can leave the house, hit me up.

Youth to the People’s Cleanser has been on my wishlist for a while. I’ve heard it’s wonderful and lathers well. I’m always in search of a good cleanser so I think I might need to bite the bullet and get this one next.

Obviously I could always use a good candle and the Maison Louis Candles never disappoint. They burn beautifully and last me quite a while which is great. Also the scents are heavenly.

I have a few jewelry pieces on here (hint hint to my husband!). My dad gave my mom some Suzanne Kalan earrings last time they were here in Hawaii and I’ve just been dreaming of her pieces ever since. Sadly I know I won’t be stealing hers anytime soon so here’s to wishing I can get my own pair.

Hope everyone is having a great Friday and has a lovely weekend!

STYLE: Effortless Summer

An effortless summer is what we needed after this past year. Although things aren’t fully back to ‘normal’, it’s nice to dress up a bit outside of just workout shorts and tees. Super inspired by this look, mostly because it’s easy but feels very put together.

BLACK OVERSIZED SHIRT (shop more button down shirts here), HIGH WAISTED DENIM SHORTS (shop more denim shorts here), BLACK FLIP-FLOPS (shop more flip flops here), BASKET BAG (shop more summer bags here)

I can’t get enough of oversized button downs. I think I want one in every color. You just feel a little sexy yet classic and you can’t go wrong with black, ever. What I love is this look can also be reversed with a more fitted black shirt buttoned up and super baggy shorts. A little more edgy take. Dress up this look even more with a ballet flat or kitten heeled sandal (or how perfect would this be with a Carolyne Manolo slingback pump) and a more structured bag. Don’t you just love pieces you can re-imagine over and over.

Remember to look into materials like 100% cotton and linen as they will be way more comfortable and breathable for the summer. The only way to do black without overheating!

We still have plenty of summer left, thankfully! What looks are you gravitating towards? Let me know in the comments.

STYLE: Easy Summer Vibes

Image by @TheSartorialist

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN ruffle t-shirt / LEVI’S high-waisted shorts / ROAM cloud beige slippers / FRANCISCA 22 hoop earrings / RAY-BAN oval sunglasses / WICKER WINGS quad woven top handle bag

Two dilemmas….Covid and pregnancy. But that’s not stopping me from manifesting the perfect easy Summer look! Although I’m not going out much because of Covid, I still like to dress up to feel slightly ‘normal’ and get my day going. Changing out of sweat pants has helped me start my day and it doesn’t hurt to look cute to walk to the mail box. I also haven’t popped out this baby yet so high-waisted shorts are a no-go for me at the moment but that doesn’t mean i’m not going to try and squeeze into them the second my little lady is born. Not sure if it’s because I’m short or because I like sitting down and not worrying about my bum showing, but high waisted pants/jeans have been a favorite of mine for a while and I don’t see myself getting rid of them any time soon.

I find them to be so flattering and I can dress them up or down, especially here in Hawaii where wearing closed-toe shoes is dressing up!

Not sure when we’ll be able to go out and about again since Covid seems to be ramping up in numbers again sadly but hoping for the best and if nothing else, I’ll wear this look to pick up almond milk. Shoot! I should have photoshopped in a mask……regardless, WEAR A MASK! Please and thank you!

EDITORIAL: Pernille Teisbaek x Farfetch

I’m a huge fan of stylist and OG blogger, Pernille Teisbaek.

Her style is effortless, minimal, and cool mom I want to hang out with! I’ve been following her for years now and she truly has my dream closet. She has a great way of looking timeless but with an edgy twist. Pernille wears lots of minimal looks but she can also wear and style color really well too which is something I am not great at. I can find color to be intimidating and I always feel like when I wear colorful things, they tend to get repetitive way faster than a neutral color.

Living on an island though, I do feel like color goes so well here and it just makes me happy! So I’ve been taking style cues from Pernille on how to dress with color.

Well, in the meantime of researching her looks, I came across this recent collaboration she did with Farfetch wearing one of my favorite new designers, Khaite.

I had to share it because selfishly I want to look back at it for style inspo but also it’s just so beautiful done and photographed, I knew you all would appreciate it as much as I do!

Shop the pieces from this editorial over on Farfetch, HERE.

I would definitely give Pernille a follow as well, she does not disappoint! Especially if you’re looking how to update your wardrobe with great, timeless pieces. Follow her on IG, HERE.
