Biscuit, Coffee and Caramel






If biscuits, coffee and caramel don't make you lick your lips, this outfit will definitely make you drool.
This is another winter look we deliver to you on a platter :)
We really like this warm shade of tan, like on a camel ya know? The sweater reminds us of a delicious warmth only a cold day indoors (in front of the fireplace on a Persian rug, hot choco in hand, doggie in another..) can bring. Enjoy!

We love H&M, by the way. Total treasure chest for fashion addicts with a tight budget. Ideal for people like us!

COLLARED ROYALTY









LOL this.

Fall look! We shot this in a dance studio. What inspired us was in fact a look in the July issue of Vogue USA, which featured Lara Stone in an embroidered silk dress with a Peter Pan collar, and Laura Love (who, as it happens, is actually a ballet dancer, hence the dance studio) had on a gorgeous Louis Vuitton silk dress with a Peter Pan collar. It gave an appearance of innocence and girlishness. Cheekily feminine ;D 
We based our outfit on this piece of inspiration and therefore put together this fall look :)

Black bowler hat
Cotton and chiffon dress in black and grey
Black lace-up heels.

Again, sheer tights when things get too chilly!

FLASH OF FIRE







Merry Christmas everybody!

We got this amazing fairisle-ish sweater at the men's section at h&m! We really like the boyfriend fit and the quirky prints. Since it is loose and boxy on top, we have paired it with a bodycon skirt (you can never go wrong with bodycon skirts :D wardrobe staple), and some sturdy boots. We love a balance between some real bulk and skintight-ness.


School looks a lot closer on this side of the holiday and we're trying to cram in as much photoshoots as possible before time runs out. With a swipe of that divine red lipstick plus an extra cozy sweater, we give you a uniquely stylish AND comfortable look you can enjoy like a mug of hot chocolate on a snowy day in ;) Perfecto for a lazy afternoon when you don't feel like dressing up too much.

add sheer tights if you can't take the fierce wind on your shins :)

First post ever!

Allow us to introduce ourselves. As you can tell from our short bio, we love fashion and would like to share it with people around the world. We do outfit posts, as well as cooking and DIY stuff.

An Apparel Affair consists of three members:


First we have Nat. She is responsible for modeling because she has the best body shape among the three
                                                                          of us. hehe:)


Then we have Ellie , the photographer. Since she studies art, we may post her artworks if she agrees to do so.


Last but not least, we have Monica, who is in charge of DIY tutorials and the styling in the outfit posts.

So that is basically everything. We hope you find our site interesting and please follow us if you want to.

Outfit post coming soon . . .
