As we know that every 20 years is a fashion circle, people like to "nostlgia" in this ever changing world.These days if you dress up high end designer's from top to toe,it would be a style disaster.Some fashionistas start to mix high end with discount and a touch of bit vintage.To the gril like AK,vintage piece would be more historical,such as the amazing dress that Queen Elizabeth wore in 1954.

For the majority people like us, shopping in vintage shop or pull of something from mum's would be new experiment.

I have some pieces from my mum's

And a special one from my grandma

This pose is inspired by one of my friend Amy,she always can choose something unique,like this $10 skirt bought 12 years ago from market .Trust me,you never found it again in today's shops.Obviously cute print skirts are well sought after these days.

Fashion Mood Board from Movies and Stars

Hilary Swank

Have you seen the movie<>I bet you did.Well, I don't know if it's wise for Hilary to try a romantic comedy,what interest me is the styling work on her.There is no try-hard(like sex and city the movie),thank God.The movie seamlessly presented her exotic style.How brilliant!

She is an Autumn.Look at her colour palette in the movie,this one is my favourite" Galway girl" .Like Gerard said, I've never seen a girl who put so much colour together...

More Hillary Swank's fashion moment:

Fur go wild

From the Chanel to Gucci fall 2010 runway,designers'extravagant play on fur, can we call it the retro of " primitivism " in fashion history?

I was wondering if anyone would dare to wear them?Anna DR did.

The sartorialist achieved this photo see how people commend:

"Wild, absolutely wild! Shocking and aggressive; courageous."

"I adore this, I love how she is so vibrant amongst all the grey, brown and black."

"Amazing! God Bless ADR!"

Fur power swept the world, Chinese celebrity Jia ling Liu pull off a Gucci one,

See what comment she received:

"scares me and a big style plunge for her.she wears it just because it is Gucci's newest fall design and expensive,and again,we have to say that big name and price have nothing to do with the taste.was she blinded?when she was looking at mirror she should know this one made her like an chimpanzee "

Hush...well,if you are not like ADR (powerful in fashion world),don't even think of it.If you want to make statement,wear it in shocking colour!
