Paddington the Fashion Bear

Paddington Bear: Paddington Bear is a series of British animated shorts based on the Paddington Bear book series by Michael Bond produced by FilmFair. This was the first television series based on the popular children's book Paddington Bear.

Guess who I'm channeling with this look?

I am wearing:

1. Red coat found in shop downtown

2. Fedora from Bangkok

3. Blue skinnies from Gaudi

4. Black ankle boots from Zara

5. Messenger bag from Fedora

PADDINGTON THE BEAR! WOOP.

I remember when I was young and on a holiday with my mom, to Hong Kong... She left me in the hotel all by myself because she went out to go get us some food and I stayed behind because it was raining. The only children show that was on was paddington the bear.
This coat, which I bought today, reminded me so much of him and that memory! So yes, an outfit tribute to Paddington the Bear who kept me company in Hong Kong that gloomy, rainy, lonely night (melodramatic huh?).

Reliving childhood memories,

Yes, I Do Math In Airplanes.

Airplanes: an aircraft that has a fixed wing and is powered by propellers or jets; "the flight was delayed due to trouble with the airplane"


I wanted to try a look inspired on travelling since that is a huge part of my life - living overseas and all. So I quickly put this outfit together... That angle is really unflattering for me. Or maybe it's the stripes. Either way, it was a quick thing I put together :)

I am wearing:
1. Forever 21 stripy dress (with ribbon on back) and grey, 2cm heel oxfords
2. Black, leather Fedora messenger bag
3. Grey with silk patterned-lining, Tracy's blazer


The outfit was based on this playlist:

Messenger Bags (Old School Style)

Messenger Bag: A messenger bag (also called a courier bag) is a type of sack, usually made out of some kind of cloth (natural or synthetic), that is worn over one shoulder with a strap that winds around the chest resting the bag on the lower back.

Today, I went out with a couple friends after school to visit this boutique downtown called "Fedora". It has this charming little vintage vibe and has the most adorablest bags and shoes.

Naturally, I bought a couple (old school) messenger bags which I have been wanting since FOREVER for like $10-$20. So cheap. Here are some pictures:

As you can see already, the style of the bag and tags is very vintage influenced. Love it.

 

Above is the picture of the first messenger bag. Bought this bag for around 380,000 vnd, which is around $20 US. Absolutely adorable, I will take it with me to Singapore for sure.

 

 The first black bag is twice the size of this one. This bag is around 275,000 vnd, which is around $15 US. SO CHEAP RIGHT? And its absolutely adorable. There is a knit pattern on the front and back while the body itself is leather.

 

Sometimes thrifting at the right stores can be quite productive.

 

Take care,

Tammie.
