I have a crush on Monday

Oh Monday! Monday has quickly come...time flies like a bullet train! I know that most people hate mondays, unlike me! any day seems the same to me anyway since I got to work everyday. I can't even differentiate which weekday nor weekend...

Another outfit post from me...hope you enjoy it! Have an awesome Monday everyone! :)
Looking elegantly in a one-piece Zara dress, accessorized with a necklace bought from Scotland, and a pair of Tony Bianco heels.

Tony Bianco really has an undeniable gorgeous shoes collection! Loving this satin cobalt blue heels that go perfectly with the dress.
A dress will never be complete without a piece of necklace. it's such a beautiful necklace, borrowed from my sister. It's actually her recent purchase from Scotland. It was a last piece in the store or otherwise I would've got one too :)

I'm a rebel

One day I can dress up so girly and another day I can be boyish. I love to play with my outfits and really enjoy mixing one with another.

 what do you think? do you prefer me looking girly and elegant or laid-back and boyish?
I was so in love with these ankle boots the moment I saw it at the Singapore Airport. I was on my way back to Jakarta, just before the boarding time I coincidentally passed this store called Witchery. It's a very well-known store that is no stranger to me anymore since my college times in Sydney. It's so surprising to find this store in the Singapore Airport. I couldn't wait long anymore so I quickly asked for my size and voila! they actually got my size and it was a last pair! I felt so lucky!! :)


I have actually been searching for this kind of boots for so long! Now I'm thrilled to actually own these~! Love the material and they are comfortable to walk!

I reminisce on those past times

I really miss the winter times that I used to have in Sydney and Shanghai from years way back. Sydney's winters are relatively mild compared to winters in Shanghai. Shanghai's winters are way much colder that I froze like a little chipmunk needed a hug from its mother.

And, I still remember the frozen winter in Korea. I visited in December last year and it was bitter, bitter cold! I don't get any winter here, so imagine how I envy those people who get to experience winter in their home country. But I still feel lucky that I could fly to those European cities where I can take all of my old winter clothing out of my wardrobe to showcase, and of course with a beautiful pair of black stockings!

Here you can see, I tried to pull off this ensemble that reminds me of those winters!

Wearing my new Zara skirt that was recently bought from London, paired it with the mustard top that I find it very comfortable to wear that I can't be bothered to wear it most of times. And of course with a beautiful touch of my lamb-skin Chanel bag that I bought quite years ago in Sydney.


I really love the color combo that I pulled off in this look, what you think?

 
I love the striking blue color of my suede heels. I got them from Zara and they are really comfortable to wear. But I don't wear many heels in this town though, I tend to keep them in my wardrobe. I got nearly 60 pairs of shoes in my wardrobe and I rarely wear them. I prefer to wear wedge type of shoes here as they are easy and light to wear and I can walk in them without having a foot cram!

A splash of coral

Hi everyone! It's another Friday again...time really flies. Here you can see another bright-colored outfit my sister and I shot today. It is a really casual look with bright coral Miss Selfridge shorts paired to a bright blue loose blouse. I was carrying a green Hermès Garden Party bag borrowed from my sister that she got it from Paris, accessorized with a Hermès twilly. 

The bag is so roomy that I can stuff almost everything inside. :)





I don't know why the shorts in the photos seem like light pink or orange, while the actual color is coral.

Candy Pink

Thanks to Fashion Designer Elsa Schiaparelli, in 1947 she introduced the color hot pink into western fashion. She dubbed the shade "shocking pink", though today the color is more associated as "magenta".

I'm so into bright colors from pink to yellow to blue to green, so please bear with me that I'll be posting a lot of bright-colored outfits in my future posts. I really ♥ my hot pink skirt...it's fun, vibrant and sensual. Pink is sometimes seen as the color of happiness and is sometimes seen as lighthearted. I paired the skirt with a two-colored blouse from Topshop in London. The material of the blouse is very delicate that I have to be extra careful when I put onto the hanger or wear it because I don't want any tiny damage to happen.

And for the belt...I actually have 3 of the same belt but in different colors {tanned brown, black, and pink coral}. I got the belts from Charles & Keith in Singapore.

I adore my clutch! with the fur details blanket the whole purse. lovely!! ♥

Summer Dawn

The weather was impeccable for taking a couple of shoots that I thought I could put up on my blog. It was sunny and a bit of breezy.

This was my first time wearing my orangey dress...it's actually a one-piece dress that goes perfectly with the laced top. The top actually belongs to my Mum that she recently bought, but I nicely asked whether I could have it and deem it as my own and she said YES!
