Siu Yin Chau F/W 2008

I've blogged about my good friend Siu Yin Chau before, and I can't tell you how much I love wearing her knits this winter. I am psyched that she has just posted her new Fall/Winter 2008-09 collection online. I love the scarf with shawl collar and pockets for its multi-functional design, the primary color would really brighten a dark winter wardrobe! The hat/scarf in raspberry below is also very practical and pretty (the picture doesn't do it justice!) But the best pieces in the collection has to be the mixed color wool pieces (last picture shown below), I've seen the yarn in person and it is really soft and beautiful, I must have the pink hat with ties and the purple/gray scarf!!! Too bad I'll have to wait about 10 months before I get to wear them! You can check out her current line at Opening Ceremony, who is also her showroom agent.images: siuyinchau.com

The Best Winter Accessories!

I've tried to knit hats and scarves for myself every year but always ended up giving them to Chad (they look better on him anyway), so this year I'm going to invest on these beautifully made pieces from my good friend SIU YIN CHAU instead. I especially love the big cable knit scarf with pockets, the hoodie that you can also wear with a matching sweater, the leg warmers with little white buttons, and the ingenious shawl collar scarf (the blue and brown triangular things in the bottom picture)!!! If you are in New York, go check out her pieces at Opening Ceremony and Barneys. She makes knits for men too!
