Chic with Chicnova

Ni Hao! Have you seen the movie "House of Flying Daggers" released in 2004 starring Zhang Ziyi? There is a scene in the move that inspired this look and background. If you haven't, I highly recommend it for the love story and martial arts. If you have, what was your favorite scene?

Hat:  Wallaroo "Victoria Diva"

10 Essential Winter Must-Haves

10 Essential Winter Must-Haves by ubetterwork featuring punk pants

The 10 essentials for this Winter:

1. A belted trench coat in a neutral color.

2. A rebel pant. This is a mix of upper echelon plaid and leather chic. 

3. A brocade patterned skirt. If it happens to be a pencil skirt, that's a bonus.

4. Over-the-knee boots. Perfect with leggings or tights.

5. A studded piece. Whether it's a bag, shoe or ear cuff, it's a must.

6. An arm cuff. Something with a bit of flair.

7. An ear cuff. Studded ones are daring and on trend.

8. Cat eye shades. Feline and chic, these shades are uber-feminine.

9. A winter red lip stain. A very dark red, almost burgundy is a stunning contrast for the dark, dreary days of Winter.

10. A fringed infinity scarf. A scarf with a little extra, as seen here.

Hope you guys like my picks. Feel free to share your thoughts.
