Black Turtleneck - Black on Black Outfit - YukiBomb – Pigalle Basketball Court

Black Turtleneck – Pigalle Basketball Court

A black turtleneck is my must-have for the fall and winter season. The same team from my last shoot (read it here) took these photos at the Pigalle Basketball Court in Paris, France. This photo shoot was shot in less than 10 minutes due to the interruption of restrictions with filming and photography. Luckily, we were able to work quickly in the crowded and beautiful Pigalle Basketball Court.

Choihyuksoo’s (the photographer) favorite shoot with me was this black turtleneck outfit at the Pigalle Basketball Court.

Shooting at Pigalle Basketball Court

Since most of Paris, France has an old traditional charm, seeing the modern and vibrant Pigalle Basketball Court was strangely refreshing (not that I got tired of the beautiful old Parisian architecture). This colorful environment was a perfect contrast to the black on black outfit. I loved the bold colors of blue, white, pink, red, yellow, orange, and purple throughout the whole court. The court’s floor had caught my attention as I walked upon it because of its rubber surface. It’s gradient colors matched well with the brilliant walls.

This new Paris landmark is popular not only because of its uniqueness but because of it’s “out of place” vibe. It almost felt like entering the World of Oz when comparing to the rest of Paris.

What I Wore

The black turtleneck I am wearing is an old one that I picked up at a boutique but you can find a ton of similar ones almost anywhere. As for the pants, I ordered them from Revolve years ago. The sunglasses are one of my favorites because it reminds me of John Lennon. Lastly, the white sneakers are by Adidas.

This black turtleneck outfit was honestly not planned. They were meant to be worn after the team and I were done shooting but Choihyuksoo thought it would be best to wear it at the basketball court. He was right.

Blush Pink Dress Romance in Paris

Blush Pink Dress in Paris, France

I usually don’t like pink dresses, but this dress immediately caught my attention when I first saw it on ShopBlueDistrict.com. What caught my attention was the details and cut. This maxi pink lace dress has multiple lace layers with refined crochet features on the shoulders and waist. The back of the dress is entirely transparent with small floral details that flow across the back. Lastly, the inner layer embraces a solid mini skirt with a long outer layer of lace, faintly revealing the delicate legs.

I love this pink lace dress so much because of its charming composition, subtly sensual cuts, and elegant hue. You can wear it formally or as an evening dress. If you’re looking for dresses for weddings, this can also be worn. It’s such a great dress to have in the closet.

The Struggles of Shooting in Paris

I wore this romantic blush pink dress during my visit to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, aka Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, a Roman Catholic church. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris was built in 1888. Unfortunately, the team and I couldn’t shoot in front of the beautiful landmark since it was too crowded. We walked around the famous Roman Catholic Church and found beautifully hidden alleyways with charming doors and greenery. I felt like I was on set for an old classic movie.

As you look through all of the photos I took wearing the pink lace dress, you can see that in some photos I am wearing black boots and in others, I am wearing white mules (lol). I started taking photos in the black heels but unfortunately, the stiletto was too small for the uneven bricked walkways of Paris (you can read about my first perspective here). I almost fell over while walking! It was so bad that I had to hold one of the photographer’s arm. Finally, I decided to switch out my heels for flat white mules. Luckily both shoe styles matched with the pink lace dress. The extraordinary feeling of relief from the constriction of heels literally made me skip down the alleyway. The team laughed either because I was relieved or because they didn’t have to watch me struggle through the walkway.

White Floral Dress by Zilea from Italy

Zilea – the Italian Luxury Brand

Recently founded in 2017, Zilea is an impressive Italian luxury brand.

Zilea is an airy line of gowns and dresses that are graceful and worldly are created by using the greatest quality of silk. Zilea’s delicate pieces are made in Como, Italy, where it is known for the Museo Didattico della Seta (Educational Silk Museum). This educational museum traces the history of this city’s silk industry.

Intricate Designs

To illustrate by the brand itself, “A classic Zilea dress drapes with feather-light delicacy around the body, covering only what needs to be covered … Intricately drawn motifs of exotic birds and flowers are finely inscribed on the delicate silk, evoking traditional Asian attire yet firmly rooted in Italian craftsmanship.”

So, due to its design which is similar to a kimono, this Zilea dress I am wearing is a very distinct piece. This Zilea dress wraps around the body, fitting perfectly on the midriff and accentuating the waist and hips. Because of the premium silk, the feel of this mini dress with long sleeves felt unreal against my skin. It easily flowed against the late summer breeze. And thus, I felt feminine, comfortable and beautiful.

How I Wore It

Considering the intricate designs, I paired this dress with simple white heeled mules. I thought simple shoes would be best to better complement the work of art by Zilea. Similarly, you can also pair this elegant dress with white or blue flats or whichever colored heels you like. Though, I would prefer heels with this dress since it will help accentuate the curves.

Lastly, you can wear this Zilea dress I am wearing casually or somewhere special like a date night, brunch, or reunion. On the day I wore this dress, I spent time with friends including one of my favorite photographers, Ryan Chua. Ryan and I decided to enjoy Santa Monica after a couple of events. It was a fun and memorable day.
