She doesn't need much but that joy in her life

Windbreaker:long time ago from Hong Kong
Wolf tank:online,strayedheart.livejournal
Leggings:random store in town
Heels:gojane.com
Accessories:handmade DIY/random
Umbrella:Aramis(fragrance brand)



First of all,you might have noticed that I've been
a little slow in commenting back and catching up your blogs.
The reason being weekends was slightly busy.
But normally by Monday,I would be back in full force.

Mainly its was dumb dumb office Internet connection was down on Monday,
and the whole of this morning too!!
It was perfect in the afternoon,but guess what ??
All blogspot sites were banned!
What a total turnoff.

So I do hope I can do something to un-ban it tomorrow or soon.
Do bear with me everyone.
I'll still of course be blogging daily and keeping up with everything,but only after when
I get home from work. Ahhhhh
Don't leave me and keep coming back yea! heeee

Finally a outdoor shot after so long~
My sister was home today so she helped with the photos!
Thanks so much girl:D
And the sky was dark,bought out the umbrella along too.

The grass patch was so soft,so I was tiptoeing all the way.
My legs look weird in some photos.
I saw a photo today on a site today
with this girl wear a black braided bracelet.

Something like the one I have on today.
I made mine with the American Apparel's scraps pack.
It sparked off an idea and I'm going to make lots more later.
To wear more on my hand tomorrow. Excited!

Not going to talk much now,on to your blogs and comments now~

Sink your feet in the sand and listen to the waves

Lace crop top:Cotton On
Inner green tank:Can't remember,long time ago
Plastic glasses necklace:Borrowed from my sister
Headband:won in a giveaway,gla.MAR.ous
DIY cut out skirt:old dress I didn't want
Accessories:All random
Heels:Topshop


A huge difference in the photos today,I feel.
As I took all these on self timer with my tripod.
Its always so much better when someone would help to take your photos.
Sorry about the quality today:)

Wore my new lace crop top I bought on Saturday.
Here's how I got my hands on it.
As you saw in my post on Saturday,I was wearing my A.Wang inspired Jacket.
But the weather that day was so so warm

I had no choice but to go buy another top to wear.
So to cool off and won't feel so warm all the time.
And I saw this last lace crop top in Cotton On and I grabbed it!

Actually I saw it a few days back before
But my boyfriend say it wasn't nice,so I didn't get it.
But after he changed his mind about it too. Adorable~

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era.
Don't get me wrong,but I love fashion of the past.
I want to be born back in the 60s.
A hippie I would love to be.

Good news everyone !!

Necklace:Vintage

So sorry for not updating yesterday .
Was really tired after the long week of work and yesterday's outfit was blahh . hee

You are my dancing queen

Top:threadless
Extra long leggings:Topshop
Heels:Melissa(+DIY)
Scarf:Alexander Mcqueen
Sunglasses:H&M(*excuse the tag)
Braided headband:Diva





Its Friday !! I always look forward to the weekend . Able to rest without having to wake up at 5plus every morning .

Friday is dress-down day in the office . This is what I wore, love headbands and the 60's when all the hippies were hanging out

If time could relive itself, I would choose to be born in the 60's . I love being a hippie if I could.


The heels I'm wearing has been with me for about 4 years now . It was just a simple pair of shoes that I DIY-ed during prom to save some money from buying new shoes .
