Guest Post: Inspirations

Hi everyone! I'm Valencia's little sister, Valerie, and i'm going to start off the guest blogging.

I'm sure everyone has been inspired by something, someone or perhaps somewhere before.

I do believe that being inspired comes as a daily thing.

So I'm going to share with you guys some things/photographs that really inspired me this week

and hopefully you get inspired too, or simply just enjoy the photos :)

And thank you all for reading + supporting my sister's blog!
Love, Valerie.

A little goes a long way

Top: Topshop

Bottom: Nicholas

Shoes: Dr.Martens Drift Collection

Accessories: Everywhere

Latest buy: the Drift Harmony Tassle Loafer from Dr.Martens! It's a combination

of suede and canvas and is absolutely lovely. Really comfy too, which is a plus in any shoe.

I got this pair at the Pop-Up Store located at the POST Museum.

You can check out the event at Streething.

And secondly, I'm sure that everyone has heard the devastating news of what happened in Japan.

My prayers are with Japan and I really hope that all of us can play a part in helping out!

So I really urge all of you to donate to the Red Cross relief fund here.

Though $10 may seem like a trivial sum, just know that a little goes a long way and every bit counts.

Let's all put in our effort to help Japan!

The days are passing by

So look, I've worn something green again. Yes, I love the color quite a fair bit. Absolute favorite shade of  it would be mint green. Does this count? Weather past few days has been so bad, kept raining each day and makes every night so cool. Didn't feel the need to layer up today hence a pretty simple outfit which I had only five minutes to grab and go.

My Cotton Ink bag always comes in handy and always matches most outfit I wear, plus I've gotten lots of compliments on it even from my guy friends!

The weekend is almost here, it will be Friday tomorrow. Have you guys plan a good weekend yet?

Have you ever been attracted to a color or a few colors naturally each time you shop?? I know I have, it would always be the same few colors and I've been picking green lately. That's how the story of this vintage number came along. The simple design and pleating at the bottom is gorgeous and I call it 'Tea party dress', something I'll wear to a picnic. 

Thinking about that, it's been ages since I last went to one. I should go about planning one soon.

Anyhow, I'm looking for Guest Bloggers to sit in from 16th - 20th March. As I'll be in Sydney, giving this space to other bloggers for to guest blog. Interested parties, do kindly email me with also a link of your blog:) You may find my contact on the top left hand corner of the blog.

A fruitful weekend it has been, flea markets, regular gym sessions and I'm pretty much ready for the week to start over. Kept within a low budget while shopping at the flea and scored an amazing skirt and gorgeous top. I'll take photos and show you next time around.

I'm envious my sister's got a better camera than me. I'm currently using a Nikon D60 while hers is a Nikon D90. I believe mine has good features too if you know know to fully use it. Anyhow, still practicing my photography skills. Weather's here has been up and down plus really warm afternoons, good to dress in lighter colors and accessorize more.

No rainbow ever looked that beautiful

Velvet dress: Collage, Far East Plaza

Belt: Mango

Shoes: Minnetonka

Managed to snap some photos before meal time with the family. This velvet dress never grows old, it's a keeper! Been around in my closet for 3 years now. It may be a repeat outfit from way back, but I do love it. Adjusting and getting back to the vibe of blogging and everything is going good so far.

Upcoming Sydney trip which I can't stop talking about, okay I'll stop for now.

While I was gone, I've neglected my camera and I feel so bad for that. That's when my iPhone came in and and I took tons of photos with it. Just want to share with you all a few I took during the past few months.

Also to share with everyone about Tobi.com. It's such an amazing site that has so many gorgeous clothes! Plus there's a 20% discount when you use the code 'SLEEVE20'. Here are some of my favourites:

Iosselliani Carnelian Layer Chain Fringe Necklace

Alexander Wang's Toga Dress with Scarf Wrap

Acne's Delirious Dress

Take me out this Sunday morning

Well well well, I'm finally back~ Yes, this time for good! No kidding. Took almost 5 months' break now, left my job and off to a new adventure again. Feeling happier for the first time in so long, it's all worth it after all. People may nag, but I don't want to be bothered too much by it.

Had a fun photo shoot few weeks back with a good friend from work, budding photographer Muz! Thanks so much for getting me into this, had so much fun and I look awesome:)

Counting down the days till I hit Sydney to visit The Sydney girl, 15 more days!
