Summer lookbook - Folk edition

For the Asian folk and indie fashion lovers out there, it is time to unleash your free spirit style to the maximum. This season, we love embroidered style, flowy maxi dresses and the different patterned bags. Check out the lookbook below

Here are some of our favorite pieces from this collection. The first piece is an embroidered traditional Chinese dress paired with a fabulous pair of booties. The second one is a peony print maxi dress; we love the print and the feel-the-wind-in-your-hair sensation it brings.

Folk dresses are just as great when they are worn by themselves as when they are paired with other stylish items. Some ideas on how you can wear your folk items this season below:

·         Pair the folk embroidered dress with a vintage jean jacket, nice brown platform wedges and a vintage purse

·         If you want to go all the way with the folk style, try out the blooming peony maxi dress with a beaded sandal  like the model above,  add up this outfit with an hair piece and this embroidered leather satchel 

·         On a lazy day, pair up a Chinese ink birdshirt with  some shorts, a pair of sneakers or pretty flats and you are good to go!

So rock on with your favorite folk item and you will be ready to run through those tall grass fields! Or not.

Mochi is a rice cake that originated from Japan, traditionally eaten through the Japanese New Year. It has now become a regular snack in countries such as South Korea, China or Thailand.

I personally love how tender and soft they are and they taste just as smooth, and not too sweet. If you can’t get enough of dessert like us, you would love them too.  See the full recipe here.

Beloved by Keiko Lynn

This Yuki oversized satchel is one of the most loved items at AsianiCandy. It is a convertible bag that comes with a long strap so you can be creative on how you wear it. This Beloved handbag comes into two different colors: army green and navy blue with printed tulips.

{Flashes of Style}

In addition to be trendy and fashionable, another reason why this satchel is awesome is because for each Yuki bag sold, we partnered with Keiko Lynn to donate $10 to BARC, an animal shelter based in Brooklyn which has a mission to give a loving home for abandoned animals.What wonderful feeling would it be to acquire the Japanese style and add a little act of good deed on top of that.  Get yours here.

See what our beloved bloggers have said about this item:

Keiko Lynn: "this darling little satchel (is) my favorite item on their site"

Bonnie Barton: "Loving the pretty tulip detail on this bag from Asian iCandy. If I can fit my camera and current book in a purse then you know it's a winner!"
