fashion and style: tavia in 'moonlight resonance'

hairstyle

tavia - mr tavia have black coloured above shoulder length straight hair bob in the drama, however from her official portrait in tvb.com's 'moonlight resonance' site, she curled it. tavia have a very small section of side fringe swept to her right, but we can barely see it as it is always swept to the side with her other parts of hair at the side. i think this hairstyle is the shortest tavia have ever had, even shorter than her hairstyle in 'the academy', but i like it, not everyone can pull off a bob hairstyle as it's so short. tavia have got a very interesting face structure and her high cheek bones which suits the bob hairstyle very well, she can pull off almost any hairstyle nicely, from short to long... no problem!

casual wear

fas - tavia in mr 1 fas - tavia in mr 17 a black vest and a white vest top with a black printed snowflake layered on top, matched with light washed jeans. she also have cool sunglasses on her head and a short silver necklace on. i like her layering, but her white vest top is just too unflattening! it made tavia look so fat as if she have got a thick waist which she doesn't have really and it isn't christmas time yet, why choose a snowflake top?
fas - tavia in mr 2 fas - tavia in mr 3 fas - tavia in mr 4 a black top layered with a lightly transparent white top and a white jacket to go with light jeans. very nice, i love the black top and the lightly transparent white top layered together, tavia will look sexy enough if she just wore those without the white jacket. if she wore formal black trousers instead of jeans to go with the look, it'll be suitable for work and it'll look just as nice.
fas - tavia in mr 8 fas - tavia in mr 23 a skinny black long sleeve top layered on top with a long short sleeve light army green top with jeans. her accessories is a thick black long neckalce made of different sizes circles and a silver belt. i love her accessories, her necklace won't make her overlook look so plain and her belt can bring out her waist line making tavia look not so fat. however, i have never been an army green fan and i have never worn green. if i can change the colour of the long top, i will change it to either purple or white as both of these colours will go with jeans and the accessories.
fas - tavia in mr 9 fas - tavia in mr 10 fas - tavia in mr 11 fas - tavia in mr 30 stripey black and white top with a thick border of black around the collar and the sleeves, worn with a white long trench coat and grey-ish looking jeans tucked in black boots with dangling details at the sides. tavia also carried a brown shoulder bag and she's wearing mainly plain wintry colours. i think her look is ok, but i don't really like long trench coats, i think they look like raincoats. if tavia chose a shorter trench coat in black with a belt around her waist, then it will look better, the one tavia have got on just won't show tavia's figure nicely because it's not flattening and just looks like an oversized raincoat on tavia.
fas - tavia in mr 12 fas - tavia in mr 13 fas - tavia in mr 15 fas - tavia in mr 16 a strapy floral dress which brings out a summery feeling with the big bold red floral prints near the bottom half of the dress. tavia wore a silver necklace with a dangling pendant in the middle. i just love the dress, so fresh and pure with the colour white and yet feminine with the floral prints, the necklace suits the dress nicely too.
fas - tavia in mr 14 a grey elbow length long top with bold black printed face layered with a plain black vest underneath worn with lightly washed flared jeans and trainers. no! i don't like what tavia is wearing at all, an oversized unflattening top and light flared jeans?! tavia can improve by adding a bold white belt around her waist over the grey top and change her jeans to skinny jeans. that will bring out her image better.
fas - tavia in mr 18 fas - tavia in mr 21 fas - tavia in mr 28 fas - tavia in mr 29 fas - tavia in mr 40 fas - tavia in mr 41 fas - tavia in mr 42 fas - tavia in mr 43 skinny grey long sleeve long top layered with a grey short dinky sleeve top on top paired with jeans. i love tavia's clothes here, plain grey with jeans, maybe tavia should add in a chuncky long black necklace to match her long top for accessories.
fas - tavia in mr 0 a plain dark blue long sleeve skinny top layered with a grey elbow length jacket and matched with light jeans. this whole combination looks quite nice, but i just feel a necklace is missing, i think a chest length silver necklace will look quite nice to finish off the look.
fas - tavia in mr 19 fas - tavia in mr 20 tavia have lots of layers here! firstly, a black top, then a wide collar white top and and then layered with a black buttoned vest accessorised with a silver pendant necklace. i love her black and white layering here, one on top of each other.
fas - tavia in mr 22 fas - tavia in mr 25 fas - tavia in mr 26 a dark blue wide collar top and a plain black top underneath, tavia have a lot of wide collar tops in the drama, it's great for layering to show what she wears underneath. i will suggest tavia to wear a short silver or gold pendant necklace to finish the look.
fas - tavia in mr 27 another dark blue wide collar long top matched with grey jeans and a long bold gold chained necklace for accessories. i don't know if she has a belt around her waist, it doesn't show in the picture, but a thick black belt will look great with the top.
fas - tavia in mr 31 fas - tavia in mr 32 fas - tavia in mr 33 fas - tavia in mr 34 a grey-ish white elbow length top with a dark vest jacket matched light jeans and a turquoise handbag. i love her combination of clothes here, a bit of tomboy with the dark vest jacket yet still keeping tavia's femininity. the turquoise handbag she's carrying is very hard to 'carry' in my own opinion because the colour turquoise is very hard to match with clothes. if i was tavia, i will choose a brown handbag instead.
fas - tavia in mr 35 fas - tavia in mr 36 fas - tavia in mr 37 a plain black top inside and a silvery white formal jacket outside matched with dark washed jeans and black high heels. i think this combination is too mature for tavia, especially the high heels, boots will make tavia have a younger feel. the silvery white jacket is also too formal, she should choose a more casual white top.

formal dress wear

fas - tavia in mr 5 fas - tavia in mr 6 fas - tavia in mr 38 a long white ruffles tube dress with a white scarf around her shoulders matched with a gold rounded pendant necklace. i love her dress here with the scarf, one word... elegant! although her hair is short, but it still suits her dress really well.
fas - tavia in mr 39 a deep v light purple strap dress with a small bow around the right side of the waist and a gold rounded pendant necklace, i think her necklace doesn't suit her dress here, she should choose a more elegant yet glittery silver necklace here to match her dress.

traditional wear

fas - tavia in mr 5 a shocking pink chinese traditional style jacket, tavia rolled the sleeves up showing the inner light pink. i think shocking suits tavia quite well and i predict she's wearing jeans with the jacket, nice!

fas - tavia in mr 5 traditional chinese wedding dress on tavia looks stunning, it doesn't look too mature on her, i think it suits tavia's face really well and the red flower in her hair just turns tavia into a chinese doll!

random: linda's tunic top in 'moonlight resonance'

linda's tunic top in mr 1 linda's tunic top in mr 2

i spotted linda's black and white stripey tunic top in episode 2 of 'moonlight resonance' which is extremely similar to mine! the only difference is her white stripes is slightly darker than mine. i was so surprised to see that she have got a tunic top similar to mine and she's also wearing black leggings and black boots to go with it. i also wore my tunic top with black leggings and black boots during february when i was in hong kong, haha! linda has my style! the scene is from episode 2 of 'moonlight resonance' when linda and raymond just got off the ferry while walking together, they suddenly spotted fala delivering pastry and linda asks raymond who she was as linda haven't seen fala since childhood so she doesn't recongise her.

here's linda's:

fashion & style: fala in 'moonlight resonance'

hairstyle

fala - mr fala have long black straight hair with an extremely small touch of dark brownish-red which she always tie back to a ponytail in the drama. we don't often see her leave her hair down, in fact, i dont think we will ever get to see her leave it down in the drama. she also have a side fringe swept to her right with a small part swept to her left. her hairstyle suits her character in the drama very much as an innocent sweet girl, simple and cute. the producers of 'moonlight resonance' want fala to look young and suitable for her character in the drama, because she always tie her hair back, the hairstyle have an effect of making fala to have the young look. however, i would have preferred to see fala leave her hair down naturally, not straightened nor curled when she's not working or staying in her house in the drama and tied back when she's working in the pastry shop.

casual wear

fas - fala in mr 1 fas - fala in mr 18 fas - fala in mr 0 fas - fala in mr 26 fas - fala in mr 27 a white formal long sleeve shirt layered with a grey with blue stripes short dinky sleeve top. the grey top's collar is embroidered to make a layered effect. fala wore dark washed jeans and a black patterned tote bag to go with the look. i like her combination of clothes here, i love the grey top, it's really trendy when used to layer with long sleeve tops.
fas - fala in mr 8 fas - fala in mr 9 fas - fala in mr 10 fas - fala in mr 22 chinese style collar white blouse with cute bow layered with a plain grey jumper on top, matched with dark washed flared jeans and trainers. i don't like this outfit, i personally think it's too boyish with the grey jumper which looked like it's for school, and the flared jeans is too unflattening. the only thing i like is the cute bow on the blouse, but i don't like the chinese style collar. fala should choose a v neck blouse, a more flattening jumper and get rid of the flares of her jeans.
fas - fala in mr 11 fas - fala in mr 12 a plain cream jacket with embroidered details near the top of the jacket with a long white top underneath matched with dark washed jeans which somehow looks a bit like grey. i think the cream jacket actually looks quite nice, but i will suggest fala to get a short top instead of the long top underneath. i don't like long tops underneath jackets, they look quite odd together.
fas - fala in mr 13 fas - fala in mr 15 shocking pink vest layered with a white short sleeve hoody and matching joggers. i love this outfit, sporty and energetic yet feminine with the shocking pink vest. great outfit for going to the gym or just going out when feeling sporty! the white gives off a fresh feeling too.
fas - fala in mr 14 a skinny white long sleeve top with some coloured printed details matched with a tan belt, dark washed flared jeans and white trainers. i love her belt, it stands out very much and finish the look as it catches attention. her flared jeans here actually looks alright because she wore it with a causal top to match them unlike when she wore them when she went to the court because she had a blouse on as it's more formal.
fas - fala in mr 19 i don't have much to say for her clothes here, it's just a plain purple short sleeve jacket and a plain white top underneath. i just want to comment on her hairstyle, she tied her hair half up, not a full ponytail. i think it looks somehow odd on her though, if her hair was longer, lightly curled and grab some of her hair to the front, it might look better. she shouldn't push the part of hair down to the back, she should just naturally let it flow to the front.
fas - fala in mr 23 fas - fala in mr 24 fas - fala in mr 25 stripey purply-grey top layered with a plain purple hoody on top with thick borders of black, grey and purple around the sleeves. fala once again wore jeans with this outfit, she sure love her jeans! i don't like this outfit, i think it's too simple, fala didn't think before she wore it, she just got a top, hoody and a pair of jeans from her wardrobe and chucked it on herself. if she wore a plain vest top instead of the stripey top, i think it will look better. she should also add a long silver necklace to accessorise.

formal wear

fas - fala in mr 21 a plain black cardigan and a white blouse underneath matched with a black skirt and cute white dolly shoes. fala also wore a pink coat, but i don't think it's neccessary for her to wear it, it ruins her 'office lady' look because the coat looks too casual. i love her combination of black skirt and white dolly shoes, most women wear black skirts with high heels, but fala wore white dolly shoes giving her a young and innocent feel.

formal dress wear

fas - fala in mr 3 fas - fala in mr 4 this is fala's 'little black dress' from the drama, plain knee length black vest dress with embroidered silver details around the straps. it looks quite nice on fala, she should add some accessories to the dress to make it look not so plain, she could just simply add a silver necklace.

traditional wear

fas - fala in mr 2 fas - fala in mr 16 fas - fala in mr 17 a yellow chinese traditonal style jacket, the bright yellow shows off fala's young and bouncy personalities. fala rolled her sleeves up showing the inner pink, hmm... yellow and pink, not too sure about that.
fas - fala in mr 6 fas - fala in mr 7 a 'peach' pink chinese traditonal style jacket, i love this pink, it's so 'warm' and looks really nice matched with dark colours such as the jeans fala is wearing and fala's black hair. fala once again rolled her sleeves up showing the inner white, i think it looks very nice.
fas - fala in mr 0-1 fas - fala in mr 20 this is the traditional chinese wedding dress, this is the first time i have seen fala in this. she looks quite pretty, but her hairstyle don't suit her and i think the dress itself is too mature for fala as she naturally have a young look.

wedding dress

fas - fala in mr 5 fala in wedding dress! she looks so pretty, i love her hairstyle and her dress. the lace design on the wedding dress can bring out fala's femininty and the side 'open cut' design on the bottom half of the dress can grab attention and force others to focus on the dress.
