A Week in the Life of a Dashionista: Let's Walk a Mile in my Shoes :)

Good morning/afternoon/evening Dashionistas!

So we are well past the second half of 2013 (Time indeed does fly!) and before we know it, it has been exactly 6 months and 2 days (as according to Hong Kong time) since we have posted our first Dashion post!

You have seen our various styles, antics and stories - and so this week, we're bringing to you a more steady insight into a week in the life of a Dashionista! As T has been fairly busy, you will instead see my (J) styling snapshots throughout the week.

Towards the end of this post, I will be continuing our little 'Health & Fitness' section - however this time, there will be a "Food Spotlight: Healthy Munch of the Week!"

Here we go!

Dashion meets Style

This week we have something special for you as promised. We will be featuring products from the lovely Style by Essenza.  You can look at more of their products here. You can also follow them on  their Facebook page and Instagram: @stylebyessenza

Amanda Yang is the founder of Style By Essenza, she was inspired by products that she has come across through her traveling.  Each product has a personal memory, found during her traveling or recommended by friends from all over the world.  Style by Essenza has amazing accessories and lifestyle items collected from around the world! To read more about it you can click here.


Our theme this cycle is about finding your own fun.  Everybody has a getaway, their own way of de-stressing from reality and enjoying life. T gets a thrill from shopping in "It's a girl thing" and J gets the adrenaline rush from dancing in "Fun, fun, fun - here, there and anywhere", and whenever else she can. As you can see there is no limit to where you find your fun.  Style by Essenza is about finding your own colour, who you are, what suites you!
 

Dashion-hime and Style by Essenza both emphasize on being comfortable with yourself and having fun! While you're at, add a some colours to it! Life is always more fun when it's colourful.  Here are some of the products that you can find on the SbE website.

The tunic dresses can be cinched at the waist or worn loosely for a more relaxed look. Pair it with sandals and chill on the beach, or put on your sexiest heels for a fun, colourful evening look. Wear it as a dress or a shirt and look equally alluring.

Style by Essenza also has a lot of other fabulous and eyecatching designs for silk tops.

All the silk tops can be worn off the shoulder, asymmetrically, or get creative! Pair the top with shorts, jeans or slacks for a casual look, dress it up with accessories and a skirt, or bring it with you as a handy and eye-catching cover-up for those cool summer nights.

Every piece is unique and stunning to wear and equally mesmerising as a piece of art, you are sure to stand out wearing any design from Pineda Covalin.

The silk dresses can be loosely worn for a relaxed and casual look, or cinched at the waist for a more finished style. Wear it as a dress, or as a loose and boho chic tip with skinny jeans and pants. Tie it up at the front, from behind, or even on the side. The dress is designed to be as versatile as you!






 


Just because we are wearing beautiful tops and dresses, doesn't mean we can only be posey and pretty! We are Dashion-hime! We have fun anywhere and everywhere, no matter what we do. :)






 

 "A beautiful and luxurious flowing silk top featuring the unforgettable royal peacock design."

This gorgeous tunic comes in blue and red, as you can see both colours are stunning and sharp! You can wear it casusally or on a night out, and will definitely be beautiful like a peacock. T and J definitely had a blast and felt like a peacock being in those lovely tunics.

Aside from all the beautiful and unique silk tops and dresses, SbE also stocks a range of Pineda Covalin's silk scarves, which can be worn as scarf tops - now that is definitely versatility! Take a look below at some various ways that the silk scarves can be worn, aside from it being just an accessory:




Here's some behind the scenes shot we had during our photoshoot. Dashion-hime had a great day with Style By Essenza, doing all sorts of crazy and fun poses :)
 


Since it's the end of our cycle this week, let's not forget to be inspired!

Backstage Pass

"When I am off the stage, my life consists of... well, dance. But a more... 'behind-the-scenes' way - the training, the stretching, the things to be done so to deliver for the audience. It's more than a way of life, it's a being." - J ♥

Everyone has a 'behind-the-scenes' life - one does not have to be a superstar to have that. Friends have the VIP backstage passes to our lives; certain friends and family have the VVIP backstage passes to another part of our lives ...
But it is only us selves that have that VVVVV(x 100)VIP backstage passes to THAT one specific part of our lives - outside of work, outside of nights out with friends, beyond the days you spend with friends and family: just you

This is where your 'Me' outfit comes in.

Your 'Me' outfit: just you, strolling down Soho or something, on a random day, without a specific place to arrive at, or any errands you need to tend to. Yes, those days we may usually call 'random' but in fact, is your backstage day; your SOLE/SOUL - SO(u)L(e) day. (see what I did there, BOOM!)
As mentioned previously in D-h's launch post, I stated that my personal style is that of anything I can dance in; dance-related. So, to go into more detail, ANYTHING to do with dance - aesthetically and functionally. For me, even when I'm not on the stage, I am constantly engaged with dance. 
So what's my SO(u)L(e) day/'Me' outfit like? 

Well, top, shorts and a selection of 'I-can-dance-in-them-shoes' shoes (which basically, are all my shoes). 
Shorts, I love shorts. God bless whoever it was that invented shorts. Even during winter, I'd just pair it with tights. It is indeed very casual, but for the 'behind-the-scenes' days, it is Godsend. 
With that, I can match it with many different tops, especially a top that I LOVE, recently discovered and bought, and actually have not been worn yet as I was waiting to showcase it on D-h first, so here it is!
Shorts: Blue Asphalt
Top: b + ab
Tights: Market! ;)
Shoes: Converse
Usually, I would opt for two rings - on my right thumb and index - to match many of my SO(u)L(e) day outfits, and usually it'll either be the silver pair as seen in the picture above, or my gold pair. (I LOVE RINGS!) Aside from that, no other accessories - bare minimum get up (and makeup). 
Think... Bruno Mars' song 'Lazy Song' - that should be all our official SO(u)L(e) song (lol, no pressure. Not that we're lazy or anything, it's just so... soulful!). 

Though if you're one that'd like to add more glam to your SO(u)L(e) day outfits, be sure to have a read through T's 'Biglamous' post from last week to check out how to glam up any simple (like, seriously simple) getups!

So beyond the stage we are on called 'Daily Life'; the VIP-est of VIP backstage passes to our lives that which only we solely own, what is YOUR 'Me' outfit? 

Tweet us (dashionhime) or Instagram us (@dashion_hime) your snapshots and we'll hoist your SO(u)L(e) outfits onto the
limelight! [ ... and whilst you are at it, might as well give us a follow! ;)]
