What lies beneath is never known to others



YSL shirt:online store
Bottom:Nicholas
Accessories:All random
Shoes(not shown:)Jooks






Recently,I've been more into pants than wearing skirts. I mean dresses not counted,but pants or like the ones I'm wearing today has got me hooked on them. I've been thinking lately,how do those designers like in USA or Europe get so famous?? Surely because their locals support them that's the first thing. So likewise,I myself have to support local designers here too. That's one way to help the brand grow I guess.

 I finally bought this pair of harem pants/shorts from the local label,Nicholas. Some of you must have heard of him, I love all the drapey clothing that they have. What's more,the shop is just next to where I work. Going to surely buy more local brands now :)

Still no luck with my camera charger,my mom keeps claiming she didn't throw it away. Oh well.

Happy 20th Birthday ~

IMAGE HEAVY!
Due to my missing DSLR charger,all photos were taken by mobile phones. Sorry for blurry pictures!


Dress:Custom made,Sweets and Hearts by Erica
Bag(not pictured):Baggu
Shoes(not shown):Jooks


This photo doesn't do any justice,she is so much more beautiful when you actually see it!
My skin's still very swollen,so she may look a little funny to you.

I was pretty tired towards end of dinner.







Close your eyes,kids~



It was such a blast yesterday celebrating my birthday. It was a whole day of events and I got so tired last night didn't even had the mood to blog. My beautiful dress was made by my lovely friend,Erica. She was sweet to add in few more goodies when she sent my dress as well. Thanks! Headed for brunch during the day with my love where he surprised me with a bouquet of pink roses that had couple bears and a heart balloon.

Next came long hours of tattoo session. I got the classic pin-up girl tattoo. Some parts of it hurt so badly that I was crushing the cushion that became so crumbled. I had a hard time photographing her by myself,so do bear with me when I take better photos with my camera. I need my missing charger back! Back to the point,the photo doesn't do justice. She is so much more gorgeous up close.
Dinner at Tony Roma's was super yummy and we all ate so full till there was no space left for cake. Without my DSLR,I realized I didn't snap as much photos. I'm sorry on not being able to capture more outfit shots.

Thank you to everyone out there who wished me Happy Birthday,you all made me one happy girl! Big thanks to my family and my love for celebrating with me too. I'm never complete without you :) I love you!

P.S Didn't put up the photo I took with my mom and sis as we were all looking rather weird. heee

I'm as free as the wind on a sunny afternoon


Drapey vest:DIY by me
YSL shirt:Online store
Leggings:Topshop
Bag:Baggu
Shoes:Minnetonka moccasins




(Sorry for a wordy post today,I've got quite a bit to say)

Aren't DIYs always so much fun to do? Once you complete it,you'll feel rather proud that you've made something on your own. Finally got to wearing out my drape vest I made awhile back. There were some loose fabric around the shop,so I just sip and cut and I got it done. I'm proud of what I made and it looks good on me. Pssst,I've switched to side fringe now. Giving my bangs a rest:)

Why have I been so excited about tomorrow? Because it's my 20th birthday tomorrow and I'm super happy. A whole day of events and awesome dinner and cake too! I'm still not sure how I'll take photos/video or maybe even polaroids. Anyhow,I will document tomorrow down in some way.

So twenties here I come! Not too excited about growing a year older,but bring it on. Just want to say a big thank you thank you to all my readers and all the support everyone has given me till today. It will be a year since I've started blogging this July,can you imagine??
Big thank you to my love who has been always there for me no matter what,I love you!

The days where the beautiful sun sets is no longer here


Short sleeve cardigan:vintage,thrifted
Dress:flea market find
Accessories:All random
Shoes:Jooks
Bag:Baggu






Wearing all black is normally a no no issue with me,so I try to add colors into each outfit I put on. Sometimes I feel all black makes me look emo and I don't want that. In the end,I picked out my navy cardigan against my all time favorite little black dress. To add to my ever growing of canvas bags,I got another one from Baggu last night from my sister as an early birthday present. Just the one I wanted,thanks so much!

Still in the midst of packing up my room,it's taking forever! To be honest,I've been pretty lazy. Anyhow,looking forward to this Thursday! I'm super excited~

P.S For those who've asked,yes my camera charger is still missing!!!

Casual's the word for today. Ever feel like you don't want to dress up too much,but just want to be comfortable? That's what I am today,the only bright color I added on myself was my shirt. Tshirts are always so fun to match up no matter what you put on. 

The weekend is here,I have work on Saturday onwards now. But its alright,the weekend is still enjoyable anyhow. Big thanks to everyone who voted for me during the fashion blogger competition. Sad news is,I didn't win at all. But good news is that,I learned a whole lot throughout this experience~ Special thanks to my love who went all out in getting more votes for me :)

Have an awesome weekend ahead~

Change directions when you see danger coming


Shirt:Threadless
Pants:Gift from Juliet
Shoes:Topshop
Bag:Courtesy of Naked Ape



Egyptian feel with this shirt takes me to wonder how did the designer of this shirt thought of such a design. I bought it from Threadless and one of my favorite shirts in my closet. New harem pants I'm wearing today,thanks to Juliet who passed on this new pair to me.

It suits me just right and I do love it! My camera charger is still somewhere out there in the house,camera taken photos will do fine for now. Today will be a long week for me as it ends on Saturday. Keep smiling and stay positive :)

A prayer with love would be heard from afar


Beret:Borrowed from sister's
Shirt:Threadless
Skirt:bYSI
Heels:Topshop
Accessories:All random




So my camera charger is still missing somewhere in the house and I'm stuck with the moment from using my sister's Iphone to take photos. Really sorry if they look a little blurry and not as good. Miss using my DSLR right now,need to find that charger or got to go purchase a new one.

Anyhow,I love berets and even in this hot weather I would never hesitate to throw one on. There will be stares for sure,but I don't bother. And I'm glad to have this shirt on,the design is so adorable and actually spells ' Don't worry,Be happy'. Common you might say,but so true.

My birthday's in 9 days and I'm super excited and sad. I never liked turning a year older,especially this year. Just feels odd to me. Oh yes,got to get that birthday cake ordered right away~

Nothing can tear us apart despite the rocky road

Dress:Black Clover(bought many years back)

Bowler hat:Online store

I'm really pleased with how the photos turned out this morning. Natural lighting is indeed still the best. So today started off really bad. Talk about Monday blues. To add on to this morning's blues,I misplaced my camera charger and now my camera's dead.

Good thing I snapped today's outfit before it totally went flat. Of course,that doesn't stop me from taking photos and blogging. I'll have to stick with my mobile phone for the meantime. Need my camera alive again. Oh by the way,my phone takes really clear photos. Wearing a new necklace I got courtesy of ClubCouture and its really so adorable. There's a small bird that has gotten out of its cage. I also selected a dress and will show it to you all very soon.

Tomorrow will be a better day,off back to hunt for that missing charger.

So before I share with you all how it will look like soon,showing you some inspirations how I want my own cozy space to look like.

Cardigan:hansel(work uniform)
Romper:Dirty Pretty Things
Tights & Oxfords:Topshop

Can you guess why I'm wearing green today?? Because its Earth Day today,in support of that I'm wearing my green romper again. Have to be honest and admit,I do wear this a whole lot! Just too comfortable and I do love the color green. So Happy Earth Day everyone:)

I nearly gave up taking photos this morning due to my camera not taking the self timer. You may think it looks like I took my photos elsewhere new today. Nope,just opened the main wooden door so you see the outside too. Actually,I feel outfits look better this way.
It's Friday tomorrow and the weekend is here. Not really excited,more packing to do with the new bedroom. Wish me luck ~
