We’ve already welcomed 2013 but it’s only about to arrive this weekend based on the Lunar calendar. With Chinese New Year just around the corner, I figured I’ll wear something inspired by the occasion to help you decide what to wear come February 10. Polka dots–lots of them! They’re shaped like coins which is why the Chinese believe they bring in good luck for the New Year. It’s like you’re wishing for lots of money and success for the year ahead. I got my polka dot top from My Everyday Fashion, a local online store that I recently discovered. They have so much polka dot tops and more!
Red is also believed to be a color that brings in luck so I made use of the color as well. Not only are my shoes, bag and lipstick red but so is my hair! DUN DUN DUN. (That’s my lame attempt at making some sort of sound effect. Please accept me for who I am. LOL.) My red hair has finally made its official debut on my blog! Woot!

Now whoever said Crocs can’t make cute flats must’ve never seen these.

P.S. Since we’re already talking about the Chinese New Year, if you have nothing to do on the 9th, drop by Lucky Chinatown Mall. I helped my dad’s association with their Chinese New Year festivities in partnership with Lucky Chinatown Mall. My friend Haze and I styled a short fashion show that starts at 7pm. You can walk around and enjoy the other activities and booths set up there as well!
Super love the crocs! I’m planning to buy them soon! :) Loveee the outfit.
Thanks Amira!

Thank you Grace!
hi Camille, i’ve been checking out your outfit posts daily since i subscribed to lookbook.nu, but i seldom leave comments/compliments here at your blog..please know though that i am always/daily impressed and inspired by your posts! :) i super love your style..i’ve been wanting to ask you what do you say is your style? what influences your planned outfit for the day? of course, sometimes the occasion calls for a particular damit.. but your day to day outfit, how do you plan it? dami ko bang tanong? hahaha.. pasensya na po.. juz really wanna know some insights from one style icon i truly admire. :)
oh by the way, thanks for replying to my email.. thanks for your advice, i appreciate it much that you replied :) yes i wore a black dress at that friend’s 25th wedding anniversary and yeah, i was stunning ( they said) hahahaha!.. my apprehension vanished when i saw the wife ( couple celebrating wedding anniversary) wearing ALSO a black dress! hahaha!
sorry for taking much space here, thanks again! =) keep inspiring people not only with your fashion but most of all your kind heart. God bless you in every way. :)
Thanks Raxelle! :) I appreciate it! :) Hmm I always say I try to keep my style versatile but always put-together :) Sometimes, I dress depending on my mood, or who I’m meeting during the day or whatever I need to blog about :)
I really love how you style your outfit! And I definitely love this combination! It’s perfect! Keep up! :)
Thanks Abigail!
Why! You’re such a stunner Camille! :)
Thanks Shera!
Redheaded Camille is absolutely gorg! Getting my hair done with the same color on summer, hope it will be as fab as yours! :)

Happy Chinese New Year! Love your look – as always. :) This reminds me – a bit – of Jap fashion. Maybe someday you could post something like the photos in this site — http://www.japanesestreets.com. I’m just really curious to see your take on Tokyo street fashion (I mean, the really out-there kind).
Thanks and have a nice day!
Maybe in my own way one of these days :) Thank you Marian! :)
You look very pretty here :D Dalagang dalaga ka na ohh :D with matching RED hair and lipstick :DD Pretty much !
Haha! Naks, dalaga na! :)
OMG!!! I super love your red hair — made you look more fierce yet sultry plus ++++ elegant pa lalo! anyways – nobody mentioned about how great your lipstick color is here. it complements your mane very well. you should wear more reds, coz i isually see you in pink or peachy lippies. BTW, what brand and lipshade are you using here?
Thanks Eunice! I think it’s MAC’s Prolong :)
I’ve been waiting for your red hair! Finally. :) You look beautiful. And i love your outfit.
Thank you Patrice! :)
I knew it was Crocs because of the holes sa side! Gone are the days of ugly duck style crocs and Hello to the more stylish ones! I got a really nice pair in HK… ;) Anyways, ay nakoooh I love your haaair!
Thanks Reena! :) Yes gone are those days!
Hi Camille! I would like to ask you something but it’s not related to this post. Hope you don’t mind. I read about your post regarding the creams that you use on your pimples and the Vitacreme B12 miracle product. You mentioned that it can be bought at watsons right? Watsons hongkong only or is it also available in the phils? Thanks :)
Philippines too! :)
but i already went to watsons but they said they don’t sell that product. What branch do you go to?
Oh it was a long time since I last bought it maybe they discontinued it?
oic. thanks a lot! :)
Yay!! I’ve been waiting for your red hair!!! you look gorgeous with your red hair, Ms Camille!! <3 I think i might dye hair red too! but not now.. and I love that polka dot top! I I recently also bought a polka dot peter pan collar tee!! and I'll wear it on the first day of Chinese new year for Mass! =) but I bought it because it's cute! cuz I don't really know the meaning of what represent what.. haha.. so much for being half Chinese.. haha.. and also the red ballet flats are adorable! I didn't know it's from Crocs..
and I would like to wish you Happy Chinese New Year in advance! May God bless you & family with good health, wealth, and prosperity! and wish you have more new reader in 2013! May all your dream come true!
Lots of Love! <3
Thanks Christine! At least now you know why polka dots are considered lucky :) Happy Chinese New Year to you too! Best wishes! :)

Me reading ur blog:
‘Crocs ballet flats’. (moved on) ‘Now whoever’…(wide-eyed) WHAT? THAT WAS FROM CROCS?
Talagang sinipat kong mabuti if crocs nga ba. In all fairness, OA ang pagkagulat ko.:D
Hahahaha I can feel you pagkagulat! :) Diba, kaya rin ng Crocs yan! :)
Gorgeous girl! =)

Hi Camille! Quick question. What to wear to a semi formal event? It’s a dinner with my scholarship benefactors hosted by the school. Please give suggestions. :)
Something conservative perhaps. A simple dress you can wear to corporate parties :)
you think this suit and pants combo from apartment 8 will do? thank you!! :) http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8049/8446062773_2bc20a8b3c_o.jpg
Yes :)
Love your new hair! Makes you look sexier! HAHAH! Love the outfit :D :D

That’s 1 super cute flouncy skirt! And for a second there I thought you were wearing a toe cap with bow flats from H&M [I’m wearing mine right now] but when you credited crocs, I was like WOAH! For real?? Crocs have cutie shoes too? I think crocs products are comfy and adorable, but they’re too manly for my taste, but this 1 is a shocker haha… hmmmm maybe I should get my hands on these babies too..
Yes you should! Crocs have so many new designs! So different from when they first came out :)
You look so young and girly in this outfit! Very pretty as always.
Thanks Christine! :)
Ang fierce ng mga mata mo dito! Love it. :)
Thanks elle!
as pretty as always, I wonder if how many clothes and shoes in your room and how it is associated.hihi i like how you match your crocs to your girly outfit.:)tehee
Thanks Ohms! I wonder how many I have as well haha!

Nope! :)
Dun dun dun! Haha! Love your humour Camille!
Haha glad you appreciate it! :) Thanks Janice!

Yeeeees
cute cute outfit! And I love your red hair! Looks super amazing on you! <3
Thank you Isa! :)
In my head, when I saw a no longer copper haired Camille Co I’ve been expecting, it took me like, 10 seconds just to realize “OH MY — This is the red hair she was talking about all this time!!” @_@ Then the next thought that came to my mind after that was “SCARLETT JOHANSSON! Black Widow from The Avengers, and former Vogue cover girl, ScarJo!! @o@ OMG!” (Yes, that stament deserved to have all caps, haha!) Your skin looks fairer with the redder hair though. But I’m pretty sure you’re still gonna kick butt in the fashion scene with red hair as you did with copper hair. Kick butt like Scarlett Johansson ;)
Haha thanks Sephie! My sister actually said I look like a superhero with my hair hahaha! :) Scarjo!! :)
wow. Finally, it’s red!!! love the hair. and your outfit also. pretty.
xoxo jhaycee
Finally! :) Thanks Jhaycee!
你太美了
謝謝！

Haha! :) Thanks Maebs!
