Hong Kong-based fashion blogger Mayo Wo has been documenting her styling ideas and fashion inspirations since 2009
Fierce styles, edgy looks, and avant-garde inspirations may be what’s floating the fashion boat now, but Mayo Wo of Mellow Mayoness is unabashedly sticking to her own brand of girly, flirty, and ultra-feminine style.
Reading this Hong Kong-based stylista’s blog is like virtually digging through a little girl’s fancy dress-up trunk — it’s filled with ruffles, polka dots, peter pan collars, bows, sequins, beads, flowers, and Mary Janes!
All of it is awash in pretty pastels and blush tones with a touch of bright colors here and there. Mayo also never fails to incorporate one of the socks from her extensive collection into her looks whenever she can.
The socks + shoes look has now somewhat become her signature style, almost as popular and almost as copied as her cute n’ quirky outfits which have catapulted her to fashion blogger fame.
