Beetroot With A Dollop Of Tomato Sauce

ChinnyPea says:
"I don't know...the coat and the long skirt together somehow make the outfit look too "ethnic"?

Don't get me wrong, Lee Lin, I love "folksy-folky" but this ensemble is a little ancient Chinese-imperial-court wear?

Love the coat. Looks really warm and shnuggly. I'd love to see you in it with some tall boots without the "tomato sauce" skirt."

ChinnyEm says:
"Yes Chinny, my thoughts exactly- 'Hmmmmmmm'. Not quite sure what to make of this coat. Sure looks warm and attractive and it suits your surroundings but this beetroot number is maybe a little adventurous for my liking. SHOCK! 'The Chinster is too adventurous?!' I hear you say. Well I admire the bold statement (and I love beetroot [both the colour and the food] I really do but the coat; it's swamping you! And and I miss all the architectural/shapely collars you used to have going on. Still love you as always. I think I just need my impractical collar fix."

It's snowing inside

ChinnyPea says:
"Broderie Anglaise again! Yay! I was wondering if it's the same blouse you wore here but I can't be sure. Is it? Doesn't matter. I love it!

I don't even mind the black today. With the mini-trench feel.

Oh, I've been meaning to say that this pair of glasses have slowly become my favourite."



ChinnyEm says:
"Looks like you're gearing up for some cold weather! It looks like you should be reporting 'on location' from...Copenhagen! I like the broderie anglaise too but I'm not feeling the jacket. Maybe coz it's slightly big for you? There I go with the sizing again..."

Crispy Summer Whites!

ChinnyPea says:
"Oh, Lee Lin! We can be twins!

I've been wearing a lot of crispy white things lately too. I LOVE white in the Summer. Well, Winter too even though it's deemed as some as a major fashion faux pas.
Love that touch of peek-a-boo blue. And the new haircut is looking fresh! Love it!"


ChinnyEm says:
"Soooo feelin' all those layers of ivory and the little blue intergalactic collar, poppin' out from nowhere! Also, I can't help but admire how great this screenshot is. Everything is blue and white. Talk about complementing your surroundings Chinny!

p.s I'm happy you brought back the vest!"

ChinnyPea says:

"In my old 'hood! Good to see you hanging out with the cool homeboys.

And dressed so appropriately for the clammy heat! I love that white shift dress with the almost invisible wonky stripes!

Hope you didn't get any laksa or satay sauce stains on it!

Can't wait for next week's installment!"

ChinnyEm says:
"You're in ChinnyPea's native habitat! She must have been thrilled about that!

OH MY GOSH this morning, I jumped on the SBS website and finally found the video for last nights episode that I missed. I'm so happy!

I love the walking shots of you, the dress is so simple and beautiful. OH AND WHAT IS THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR FINGER? A CHUNKY RING I SPOT!

Okay, off to enjoy the rest of the ep on Chris Lee."

Crimson!

ChinnyPea says:
"Colour! At last!

But, Lee Lin, I'm not really loving silhouette of today's outfit. The jacket seems to be hanging on you.

We're hard to please, aren't we? Sorry. Kiss kiss."


ChinnyEm says:
"Remember this jacket? It was the first time we we noticed that your jacket was a little loose on you. I know you are a woman of small stature and the Aussie sizing system might be generous in the shoulder area for you but I have to say, I prefer seeing you in the more vests with sheer sleeves. This jackets just a size big for you and crumpling in the wrong places.
STILL LOVE YOU CHINNY.
Especially your earrings. Yo SBS! HD newsclips online please!"

Haircut!

ChinnyPea says:

"You had a little trim! Your lucky hairdresser! Gets to touch your head of steely greyness!

Good thing ChinnyEm and I are not fangirls of the extreme variety. You know, the sort who would track down your hairdresser and issue him/her death threats unless he/she saves some your lovely locks for us in a Ziplock bag after every haircut.

Love today's jaunty pussybow but black again?!!!!!!"



ChinnyEm says:
"ChinnyPea just painted a picture of the scenario that would never occur. I live in Melbourne anyway, so I could not possibly accompany ChinnyPea to your salon.
HAHA. That is my inner creep. RAWR!
SBS really needs to up it's online video quality. A lot of the time, our screenshots don't capture your amazing jewellery. Please send SBS the memo. Thanks.
"Love today's jaunty pussybow but black again?!!!!!!"- My thoughts exactly, ChinnyPea."

Lee Lin Hosts "Designer People"

ChinnyPea says:
"Another hosting gig, Lee Lin! Yippee! It's been a long time since Fashionista! Does it mean that we get to see more of you and your amazing wardrobe every Thursday on SBS for the next twelve weeks?! Can't seem to find any information about it on the SBS website.

And the Designer People series is right up your alley, isn't it?

"Designer People travels the globe to showcase the world's leading designers in architecture, communication, industrial, interior, and fashion. Each episode centers on the creative insight of an acclaimed designer whose work shapes our lives and our surroundings."

Things that I'm into too! Besides fashion.

Talking about that...what you wore on it! Man!

We keep going on about you wearing too much black but this is some interesting black!

Did you wear something "architectural" because the featured designer this evening is an architect? Tee hee hee.

The lines of your dress is defintely more fluid than that of Ole Scheeren's CCTV building but I love them both. And the contrast in the first image of you standing in front it!

Looking forward to our date next Thursday evening! xx"

ChinnyEm says:
"Oh my god! WHAT?! This happened on Thursday night?! That was when I was working! Any chance I can catch this online?
Never mind, I will find away to watch my beloved in action.
The best thing about this will definitely be seeing the clothes in action. It's one thing to see your jackets from a front on angle but I'm sure there will be shots in this where you are moving about and showing those 'curves' off to the best of your ability. EXCITEMENT!
