Really simple outfit today which I felt comfortable in,I love how basics makes a good outfit. When something feels comfortable on you,your confidence just shines through.Yes,I'm wearing the skirt that was sponsored by the blogger competition. At first honestly,I thought it was an ugly skirt. But not anymore when I place the right pieces together with it. 

This is what I come home to each night when I get home. He always waits patiently for each of us to be home and always has a smile ready to welcome anyone home. He's going to turn 13 years old next month,yes he's getting on his years. Cherishing the moments each day with my dog. His name is Dollar(given by previous owner),don't laugh though.

To explain the absence from blogging during the weekend is that I wanted to let everyone know to vote for me for the blogger competition I was in and that I actually blog 5 times a week,so I took the weekend off. Watched many home movies and kept laughing over each one. Maybe I should just blog more when I can.

I cannot seem to get colors out from where I wear daily. I want to inject at least a color each time I get dress up and I do enjoy it every time.New pair of blue jooks and a canvas tote bag too,just small additions that make a difference in a outfit. Finally got my nails painted nicely after awhile,classic red never goes wrong.

If you haven't,please do continue to vote for me. Full details in blog post below,many thanks!

My fake high score of 660 at basketball~(Machine was cranky)

Today is special day as its my love's and I anniversary. So I took the day off and we went on lots of shopping and eating as you can see. The 1st Japanese steamboat we had had the cutest panda-like fishcakes which made me almost not wanting to eat them. 

Actually,I was acting like some monster ripping off the body as I was eating. The funniest thing happened at the arcade with the basketball shooting machine too. The score was cranky and kept shooting up my score real high! Look,I scored a total of 660 points! Amazing~

Items purchased today was a new and my 2nd pair of Jooks and also a romper I scored for a pretty cheap price. Will show it off soon. Most importantly,you all can start voting for me on the Tampines 1 Fashion Blogger Competition I'm in from tomorrow onwards!

A very piece of good news I want to announce but I'll keep it till the end of this post. Sorry for the slightly blurry images too, was using the shop's camera.

I thought this jacket was gone for good around the house when I saw it this morning! Hello there,my denim jacket. Are denims still in trend? Do you follow trends? I tend to sometimes to be honest but I try to stay away from them. Colors of the red range came all on with my outfit today,it occurs that I do wear a lot of the same color range at one time recently.
This week ends early for me,taking Thursday off and Friday is a public holiday here. It will be an extra long weekend for me!

I've been having a new batch of clothes and accessories due to the recent fashion blogger contest I'm in. Will be slowly wearing all those out when the contest is almost over.
Yes,the 1st look comes out in Straits Times URBAN this Friday,2nd April!
So get ready to start voting. More details will be released on Friday via my blog and twitter!


So the very good news is that my feature on Cosmogirl Indonesia is out! I was pretty shocked as I didn't know anything about it until a fellow reader told me. 

Big thank you to Rani from Cosmogirl Indonesia and also to Michelle who offered to help me scanned the pages in and did the translation. I'm so so happy I got to be on pages of a magazine,it's my 1st one and maybe more to come~

The article is in Malay,here's the translation below in english if you need.


CG : Hey Valencia ! Tell us how you started your blog?
I'm inspired by many fashion blogs - reading blogs inspires my daily style from years to years. One day, I thought I should make one too even though I never thought that people would actually want to read it. And from then, I never regretted starting a blog.

CG : What do you write in your blog?
My blog consists of my daily outfits, fun photos, and some my own life. Basically, my blog is more focused towards personal style and fashion.
CG : who is your fashion inspiration?
The Olsen sisters is my main inspiration. I really love how they make their outfits look more stylish. I also want to be apart of the 60s and the hippies era !
CG : what other things inspire you?
Nature - things like feathers, trees, and anything else that's handmade sometimes inspire me.
CG : What's your signature style?
A mix of vintage styles with a touch of modernity. Dresses, leggings, and pants are some of the items that I wear on a daily basis. Other than thay, I never leave home without piles of accessories.
CG: You will never be seen wearing....
Fishnet stockings is really not for me. I will never wear that even if I'm paid ! They don't give me good vibes.

CG: Who's your favorite designer and brand?
Betsey Johnson. She's so good in adding colors in her collections. For favorite brands, I don't have any but vintage shops and ebay are one of my favorite places to shop. You'll never know what gems you can find there !

CG: What is your most "Must Have" outfit?

A really good structured blazer,a vintage loose blouse and a pair of pow wow leggings! Meaning they have to be bright or patterned. 

CG: How do you predict this year's trend will be like?

I guess florals would continue for some time. Surely we will be seeing many bright colors used in clothing,more abstract prints in long flowly dresses and more outrageous shoes collections!

CG: What is the meaning of girl power for you?

To me,it means that girls can take charge too! Even if its something that is huge in one's life,we girls can surely pull it off. We are not to be belittled by others and girls can surely have the brains and beauty too.

CG: How will you apply it in real life?

To empower other women around that we are people that can make things happen. Knowing that we can dream big and success in life.

CG: Who is the most powerfull women for you? Why?

My mother. She is such a strong woman bringing my younger sister and myself by herself this past few years. Even though it means going out of her way,she always wants us to be happy. So mom,you're the best!

CG: If you were a SuperHero, who would you want it to be?

Catwoman! I love the sexy silhouette and the all black outfit. Also because I'm so in love with drawing cat/winged eyeliner and Egyptian history.

For the shopaholics~

Drapey jacket:h&m

Tie dye bodysuit:Swap from Chantele

Skirt:vintage,thrifted

Wedges:Bought from Valerie

Accessories:All random

Yesterday's outfit:

2 outfits in one today,both with my new drapey front jacket I bought from h&m. Thanks to Denise,I managed to get my hands on this! So I couldn't resist wearing my green romper out again but with just a different jacket. Can't help it,this jacket is such a beauty. The weekend was filled with lots of home spring cleaning and also snapping photos for the 2nd outfit of the blogger's competition. I ended up with loads of mozzies bites but the photos turned out awesome. Credits surely go to my sister who helped me.

Rain poured and poured all of today,what better wear to add drama with the jacket again. I know,it is a staple for my closet now. It's going to be a really short week for me which ends on Wednesday,taking the rest of the week off and just to sit back relax and rest,it feels good~ 

Ohh,many of you asked on the galaxy projector I bought shown the the previous post. I actually bought it through a spree from this person's site here. I'm not sure if there will be another one,but you'll never know:)

Mountains and seas will never scare the storms away

Velvet blazer:Gift from Starr

Romper/playsuit:Dirty Pretty Things

Tights:Topshop

Shoes:Minnetonka moccasins

Camera on low battery and sudden shut down while I'm taking photos these few days. Those are some irritating moments that ends each day. Aside from that,my photos came out weird for this outfit. But I do love my new romper I bought from Dirty Pretty Things. The bright green mint color stole my heart and it is so gorgeous! Colors just keep invading my closet and it's a good thing to see so much colors around. I guess different colors do make a difference in making you feel happy and at ease too.

My new galaxy light projector came yesterday and it brightens up any dark room around the house. So beautiful to have your very own galaxy at home. Today's a day of hunting down my next outfit for the blogger competition,so wish me luck!

Take me higher to a place where no one knows
