THE FASHION FILES

Common keywords in text inbox several hours before an event/party: what, will, you, wear?

Often, the big worry is that one would either be overdressed and underdressed. Perfectly reasonable. Of course, we would all like to put on that sassy air and said 'I love to be sleek when everyone's slack and slack when everyone's sleek', or say, put on a red dress at a Black and White party. But truth is, most of the time, rather than making a headline-worthy style statement, we just want to be – well, tasteful.

1. Alcohol kills flu bacteria

2. Dancing = exercise = + health = - sickness

3. I do not get sick. I do not get sick. I do not get sick... Oh that? It's just you know, allergy...

But sadly, time after time ever since the day I first took my baby step on to LKF, it has been proven that there are slight inaccuracies in the above numbers. However, once I recover, they stand tall and true again... like, well, giraffes.

Hi all, just to let you on a little secret... The Fashion Files is saying hello to the world again after a few months of quietly watching the changes in season behind some sassy shades. I know it's summer but shades no more! Time to look at the world (especially those stealable bags, show-stopping dresses and beautiful beautiful shoes) straight in the eye and snap up some pictures!

So these days, you'll be seeing me, Gloria Yu, a writer and a soon-to-be undergraduate at Parsons in New York hopping around town from street to shop to party holding a camera and snapping away...

For most women, after the initial excitement passes upon hearing that they are pregnant, panic sets in as they realize that they are going to have to say goodbye to their hot body for the next 9 months and beyond. And the further realization that all that is now available to them are ultra conservative, frumpy maternity fashion that makes you look like a sack of potatoes, doesn’t help things either! But don’t despair…this is no longer the case. You’ll soon learn that a pregnant woman can still be sexy and a bump is no reason to sacrifice your style.
