Hey guys,
Just a quick hello from me, I hope you had an awesome weekend.

Whenever I feel so uninspired or lazy to dress up to go out on the weekend, I'll instantly think about this shimmering blouse that I bought from GUESS some time ago. It's simple yet so chic and stylish, and I can pair it up with anything. I paired this shiny blouse with denim jeans and high heels when I went for a dinner with my friend few months ago. On a casual Sunday, I wanted to look a bit more casual in shorts and sandals. It didn't take me more than 5 minutes to decide whether or not I should buy this black shimmering shorts from Forever21. It's obviously a Yes answer. Not every day we can find different items from different brands that have an exact match in color and pattern like that, and I'm still amazed whenever I look at these 2 pieces put together. By the way, do you notice the shimmering black-gray jewelry necklace and bracelet that I was wearing? They are my birthday gifts that happen to look like they were made of a piece of my clothes. How cool could it be?

Thank you so much for reading!

If you have been following my blog long enough, you'll know I mostly post about my daily outfit. Comparing my very first outfit post from 2012 until now, I see myself improve tremendously, and I couldn't be happier to see how much I've grown in this fashion blogging industry. It has been a long, tough, yet fulfilling journey so far.

After 123 Crystal's Closet daily outfit posts, I suddenly had the urge to do some things differently, some things new to challenge creativity and to get out of my comfort zone. That's when this editorial post came about. I wanted to do some editorial photo shoots awhile ago, but I couldn't find the right "partner" to work with until I met Doug Tindall, an amazingly talented photographer with so much enthusiasm and dedication. We exchanged few ideas, discussed about varieties of photos and went immediately for the shoot right after we found the perfect concept as if we were afraid that we could lose the inspiration at any moment. Working with people who have the same level of passion and commitment is always so fun and satisfying.

It's really hard to keep this secret away from everyone as I wanted to show you these beautiful photos I received from Doug one day after our photo shoot, but I couldn't due to my other blogging assignments. Finally, I can proudly present to you my very first editorial photo shoot: BLACK NIGHT.

I don't know if these photos are anywhere near the industry standards, compared to the photos that you often see in fashion magazines, but I'm very happy to call them my own fashion editorial pieces. Doug and I would be very grateful and happy to hear your constructive comments, suggestions so that we could improve ourselves. Just like the Crystal's Closet blog entries, I'm sure my editorial posts will get better and better. It's just the matter of time.
