(Romwe leopard button-up shirt and creepers, Levi's denim shorts)

Quick post because I feel like I've been away for a bit. I'm decked out in spots and taking my feline-print obsession a tad too far. Anyway, I've noticed the creepers I'm wearing are out of stock on the site but these are fully sick. The thick sole is very, very appealing. Pink and leopard is also a top combination and these do pretty well.

On a side note, will get to emails slash questions slash anything soon. Please bear with me. My days are jam-packed with errands and all...

Ps. Check these velvet booties out... On sale with free shipping? Yes. You score.

through the rabbit hole

2012-01-31T22:00:00.002+08:00

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been gone for a fair bit... I'm back to make it up to you with a story featuring Willa with bunny ears! For all you perverts out there going 'that's what she said' regarding the post's title, you are gross! Just saying.

Casually trekking through a forest while sacrificing blood to the mosquitoes... Moving on. Wait is there something out there?

"What was that sound?!" Nothing terrifying jumps out. Keep trekking.

"Hmm, I'm a little exhausted from all that hopping... Let's sleep for a bit..."

After the snooze, venture into another bush.

Perfect log to rest my bunny butt. Bunny ears magically disappear... Not for long though.

"Maybe if I think about them, they might reappear...? Hmm."

Plan failed. Grab some sticks and pretend to be a reindeer instead. Just for that brief moment though. I look stupid. And we chance upon a tree-swing...

Say, is this going to work? "I'll buy you lunch if it snaps." "Okay challenge accepted."

No. I am not posing like an idiot on the floor, haha! The branch almost snapped and I pretty much fell. Instead of helping me out, the photographer took a shot! Where is the love...?! Pat on the back for trying though, Willa.

Just doing common everyday things like sitting on fallen trunks. Wait, what was that sound again?

Bracing self for the appearance of a big bad bear... This is not going to be pretty.

Oh how silly; it was just a breeze... Well, guess the adventure continues!

When life throws you a playground, make full use of it. Word!

Being silly... As usual...

Laughing silly after being silly... Ooh wait, look! Bunny ears are back again!

"Nom nom, I feel like a carrot!"

Failing to source food and resorting to rolling down a grass hill.

"This is way more fun than eating like a fat rabbit for the entire day! Haw haw."

After such an eventful day, bunny Willa became human again and went to grab dinner, churros and junior chocolate drinks (kids only, be jealous!) with brilliant Jerry. Hope this post made you smile like a silly goon. PS. Happy last day of January '12 and enjoy the rest of your week!

/edit: Sorry if my previous language has been offensive and I am truly sorry if it has offended anyone. I meant no harm and should've put more thought into my using of the word. Apologies.

typical silver kicks

2012-01-28T14:23:00.002+08:00

Typical Summer outfit (I hate this ridiculous weather); sheer layers, prints and... silver flatforms! Picked up these gleaming kicks in Singapore last month. They attract plenty of stares from strangers. Win.

(Shot by Jeremy C, Edits by yours truly)

Oh yes, I did actually wear these bunny ears during our stroll in the park without even noticing how absurd I looked (to random people, that is)... Wearing gifted lace shorts, denim and sheer button-up shirt from The Editor's Market, silver creeper flatforms from Far East and Topshop leopard socks. Weekends!

panelled denim on denim

2012-01-22T22:40:00.000+08:00

You know, casually piling up layers in Summer... Too warm? No worries, just secure the chunk of thick hair into a pony-tail.

(Chicwish denim button-up shirt and contrast double-breasted blazer, Levi's frayed shorts, DIY Galore leopard clutch, Cut-out boots from Singapore)

Alas, the Summer heat still limits my choice of layers but this outfit was one I put together in my head on a restless evening so I was naturally compelled to exhibit it the next day where the weather was conveniently much cooler.

I'm fond of the juxtaposition in this get-up; regarding textures of denim on leopard print pony-hair on patent faux-leather, the contrasting sleeves on the blazer against the denim panelling (somewhat Celine, no?) and the fairly subtle red socks paired with navy-blue. Forgive the unnecessary observation though, I just felt a need to point out...

P.S. If you haven't noticed, I'm now on Youtube and am struggling with video ideas so some input would be nice. Alternatively, you may also be a dear and subscribe! Finally, Happy Chinese New Year 2012 (eat lots)!

Face Facts Tees

2012-01-20T09:05:00.004+08:00

Happy Friday!

Thought I’d like to introduce a competition since the weekends are coming up and all of you should have some time to spare for it. The Face Facts Tees is a competition that gives aspiring up and coming designers, photographers, illustrators and stylists the chance to have their design produced onto the official campaign t-shirt. All you have to do is submit an image that best depicts or supports the ‘anti-drug’ theme!

All 15 to 21 year olds across Australia are invited to take part. The competition will have two winners in different age groups:

• The winner in the 15-18yrs category will receive a $2,000 cash prize plus a $200 Moshtix voucher.

• The winner in the 19-21yrs category will receive a $2,000 cash prize plus a double pass to Creamfields Music Festival summer tour.

A runner up prize will also be awarded in each category.

While this is a great way for Australia’s youth to hear an important message about the negative effects of ecstasy, it is also an amazing opportunity for aspiring designers and creative types to have their work used in a national campaign.

Entries will appear online at the Face Facts Tees competition hub in a voting gallery accessed via the website. The winners will be chosen from the top 10 designs with the most public votes. Each winning design will be printed onto a limited edition t-shirt to be distributed as part of this year’s ‘Ecstasy. Face Facts’ campaign at Creamfields Music Festival, Rock the Schools and other media outlets.

Don’t miss this chance to get yourself out there; it’ll be a perfect addition to your portfolio. Or… if you have absolutely nothing better to do on the weekends, go for it! Still think you have no chance of winning? You’ll never know until you try so all the best everyone!

So... I now have a Youtube account! Show some love and subscribe? I'm fairly awkward in videos but I think I'll post something legit up soon... In the meantime, enjoy this little snippet!

All apparel from Earl Grey Party.

(Taken in Singapore)

I know. My hair is (was, because it faded after four days even though it claimed to be 'permanent') copper red-esque. And, I wear too many sheer button-ups. Left a few buttons undone this time; you can imagine the humid weather forcing me to stray away from my choke-yourself-with-a-collar look. Didn't even bother tucking in my shirt which I usually do if you're observant enough. I'm crazy about pyjamas-like ensembles. Too casual is the new cool...

Casually including photos of legit food I consumed in Singapore so you don't get bored yet. Hopefully...

Been busy; I've got a bunch of photos from everywhere that I need to get through, have been out almost everyday catching up with lovers and eating, need to sort through (properly) my emails/questions/anything regarding the blog, trying to spend time with the family, hunting for delicacies to fill my stomach, and other unnecessary activities that don't need a mention so I apologise for my slow reverts in advance! I promise I'll get to them soon. Really.

Meanwhile, feel free to stalk me on a platform I actually update... Happy weekend, you beautiful souls!

raspberry and cobalt

2012-01-12T14:10:00.000+08:00

Thought I'd tone down the colour contrast with shades of black. These photos don't do any justice to my boots; they are mighty electrifying in person...

(I Like Wolves raspberry shirt, Soles cobalt suede boots c/o Market HQ, Pleated skirt from Singapore, Pink blazer c/o Romwe)

Have been busy stuffing myself with food and catching up with lovely people in the past week but hey, what do you know... We're already in the second week of 2012 so hope everyone is having a brilliant time so far!

If you've been faithfully stalking my twitter, you'd be aware of my silliness and how I broke one of my favourite sunglasses... Anyway, healed my own heart when I scored this pair (see above) at the Fremantle Markets a few days ago. Have been taking them everywhere since; aka obsessed.

PS. I've got a selling album up on my Facebook so check it out if you have the chance (aka fund me for Singapore again, please), hehe.

blue on burgundy

2012-01-08T20:36:00.000+08:00

(Burgundy leather shorts and creepers c/o Romwe, Blue sheer button-up from overseas, Satchel bag c/o MyLeather)

Blue (it's electric in person, really) on washed burgundy, topped off with brick-red and a hint of burnt yellow sums up one of my favourite outfits. So thrilled I got to sport this while holidaying in Singapore!

There's a takoyaki (whatever it is called) stall at ION that sells amaze-balls. Food in Singapore is beyond affordable with the currency exchange and all, yay!

Caught up with the love of my life and her wonder-dog for a bit too. Fluffy animals are remarkably amusing...

This is what I ate almost everyday; yogurt topped off with fruity pebbles (sometimes with strawberries too). Yes, I am such a boring person, haha!

P.S. Updated the press page; thank you all for making these wonderful things happen!

goodbye 2011

2012-01-05T16:48:00.000+08:00

Just a visual compilation of the many ensembles from 2011 (of course, not all outfits were included) but hope you enjoy them anyway! I know we're already into 2012 but I feel like I haven't bade 2011 a proper farewell. To everyone; whether just chancing upon this blog for the first time or dedicated followers from the beginning, thank you, thank you, and thank you! I definitely appreciate the comments, 'likes', follows, illustrations, love and of course... hate-mail (even haters take some effort in letting me know how much I suck, hehe)! A simple 'thank you' will never be enough so if I can help in any way, please let me know.

I know 2012 is going to be major. So, make sure you create opportunities, take risks, and always remember; if you can dream it, you can do it. Nothing is impossible through God - here's to our best year yet!

2012

2012-01-02T23:30:00.000+08:00

Hello! How has everyone been? I got back to Perth two nights ago and have been clearing out my wardrobe and shoe shelves since... Anyway, Happy New Year; 2012 is going to be major! Here are photos of day two from my Singapore trip.

Favourite thing about Singapore (in all complete seriousness); Orchard! Swore I could spend everyday there, and so I did...

Hi Abercrombie & Fitch models, can I keep you all...? And you. Yes, you reading this right now; stop drooling.

Living in Perth has made me miss massive crowds and busy traffic. Honestly, it was so nice to be back!

Ran into H&M feeling like Alice in Wonderland, fell in love with this faux-fur coat (above) and snapped it up on sale two weeks after!

Kind of felt attached to this floral blazer as well but I didn't end up getting it. Regretting my stupid decision right now...

Strolling along Orchard is the best part; there's so much to see! Sigh Singapore, I'm missing you already...

Best S$2 spent on my second day after feeling dehydrated... Milk tea, milk tea, milk tea!

This old sir here is the coolest. He spins those long-as "things" on his neck effortlessly (like a boss); so much respect.

And so, we've come to the end of day two... I'll be back soon with an update. Right now, I'm sleep-deprived and I need to crash! Happy 2012 once again! xo

2011-12-24T18:33:00.000+08:00

Hello, hope everyone is doing well! First few visuals taken in Singapore;

Sorry I've been missing in action, it's hard to survive on wireless hotspots around town (yup, still in Singapore!) but I'll try to update as much as I can. What I've been up to: spending money, eating and catching up with family and friends. It's humid here but much better compared to Summer back in Australia!

Enjoy your weekend and Merry Christmas in advance, everyone! Please take care and till next time! ollow my updates and mobile uploads on Twitter!

Christmas is so close and I’m beyond excited! I was just browsing the magazine racks at the shops the other day looking for gift ideas when an obvious conclusion came to me; a magazine subscription would be the best present!

So, which would be the perfect one for a fashion and beauty-loving person? I’d recommend the Shop Til You Drop magazine if you’re already devoted to Vogue and or Frankie! It’s the modern girls’ catalogue focusing on shopping smart by mixing high-end fashion with chain-store must-haves, as well as luxury beauty buys with pharmacy products. They also have sections for gift and home ideas but my favorite would be their budget articles featuring ‘buys’ under $100. This means you get the designer look for cheap! Well, not all of us are born wealthy or have excessive incomes so these sections keep our wallets from breaking…

If you’re still not convinced, I’m going to tell you that you get free delivery within Australia (you can’t possibly say no to this…) and save more than half the price when you sign up or renew your magazine subscription!

I know you’re on the check-out page purchasing that magazine subscription right now (and imagining the surprised but excited look on the person’s face that you’re gifting it to when they find their surprise at the door) so enjoy! I suppose it’s safe to say I’ve already found the best gift ideas in the form of a special delivery. Happy Christmas in advance! I might even get that Woman’s Day magazine to catch up on my weekly gossip!

P.S. Be eligible to win one of 10 fabulous Hawaiian holiday packages valued at over $12,000 each with Magshop’s Christmas competition. Simply subscribe, renew or treat family and friends to any of the 35 participating titles including The Australian Women’s Weekly, Top Gear Australia, Australian House & Garden, Shop Til You Drop, UFC, Money, and many more.

christmas wish-list

2011-12-14T22:00:00.000+08:00

It's pretty close to Christmas so if you have some cash to spare... Dear Santa (or whoever is reading this), all I want for Christmas is/are:

(Stella McCartney, Dolce & Gabbana, Gareth Pugh)

Oversized blazers in brights, fluorescent, vibrant or glaring tones? Tempting indeed. Red or pink? Doesn't matter; pair with a yellow clutch, pencil dress and stack on the metallic cuffs. You're good to go! (Of course, put on some shoes first...)

(Megan Park, Vince, Dolce & Gabbana)

Sequins are all the rage. Think; a bodycon dress with colorblock heels or a LBD paired with a sequin clutch for that Christmas party you were thinking of attending (but have nothing to wear)? Personally, I'd kill for one of the D&G sequinned blazers... Although this party blazer probably wouldn't let you down. Clash them with floral prints, stripes or polka-dots!

(Balenciaga)

So the original price-tag's too heavy for you? Look no further, the ASOS and Jeffrey Campbell versions will keep you satisfied... for now. Wear with coloured or printed socks so they peek out for a quirky touch!

(Chanel)

Vintage Chanel would be lovely. If you can't source one though, gifting lipstick or perfume would be your best bet. A quilted bag and metallic shorts are close enough too.

(Rodarte x Opening Ceremony, Mary Katranzou, Suno)

I see this from Zara and I die; might just buy it in due time actually... I love a perfect floral print shirt - collars, buttons and a good length. The kind of print is the most important; too tacky and you'll be an outcast. Pair a playsuit with monster wedges, coloured socks and top it off with a portfolio clutch. I hear you fancy a kimono throwover? Yeah, me too.

(Chloé, Zara, Chloé)

I need a snakeskin shirt in sheer fabric and Chloé's pieces nail my expectations. But wait, this Supertrash reptile button-up for less than half the price? Maybe. This dip-back number looks promising too. Say, you prefer faux crocodile skin? This oversized clutch will do the trick.

(Diane von Furstenberg, Theory, L'Agence)

Have been eyeing a black faux-fur jacket slash coat for a while now... Long-sleeved and not cropped. Shaggy is preferred. While I'm chucking a sad for not being able to afford a £1,550 piece right now, looking at this cream shaggy faux-fur coat completes me. While you're at it, check this oversized 70's one out... Simply dress it with a floppy hat, high-waisted pants and a white button-up to everywhere. Finally my favourite; patchwork goodness... All faux-fur.

Most lust-worthy and wanted? Mr. Jeffrey Campbell, your night-walk platforms do no wrong and I've been a good girl all year.

P.S. What's on your wish-list? Care to share/extend my lust-list?

P.P.S. Don't forget to enter the MyLeather x Pale Division giveaway ending in two days!

P.P.P.S. Follow me on twitter!

So, Christmas is quickly approaching and while everyone’s probably gift-wrapping items, I’m still hopelessly trying to find something appropriate. I’m constantly asking myself questions… Will this fit? Is this worth it? Will they use it? Is this too silly or unnecessary? Which colour would they prefer?

Sigh. Sounds familiar, no? If you’re also struggling, do consider online magazine subscriptions as a gift! Let me first explain why purchasing online is the easiest and simplest. Imagine all the trouble and energy wasted while strolling around town trying to look for the perfect item… You’d always end up buying nothing (well, I don’t) because shops run out of stock/colours/designs, have nothing lovely to get, have staff that don’t give a crap about your worries, and so on. You’d feel much more bitter when the soles from your favorite pair of shoes get worn out because of all the walking. So not worth it! Online shopping is a world of wonders though… You can literally source everything on the web with a click of a button, search the lowest prices, pay via cards or Paypal, find the right designs and colours, look up reviews and the best part? You get a bunch of parcels delivered to your door like it’s Christmas already, haha!

If you’re big on fashion, Magazine subscriptions Australia offers titles like Harper’s BAZAAR, Cosmopolitan, CLEO, Grazia, VOGUE at discounted prices! I bet you know people in your life who collect and present magazines like trophies on their shelves…

Are you still looking for the perfect Christmas present? Give your loved ones a magazine subscription this year and you can win a tropical escape to Hawaii with Magshop’s Christmas competition. Treat your family and friends to a magazine subscription today - it’s the gift that keeps on giving all year round!

(Sheer maxi-skirt c/o We Are Rubbish, Kenji leather vest, Jeffrey Campbell Tardy c/o Solestruck, Forever 21 lace top)

Outfit from a few days ago; leather on lace with chiffon and velvet. The weather proved perfectly fine for me to layer up, and so I did. How I miss suffocating myself in layers... This maxi-skirt has a slit on one side, very cool, yes?

And the best part; for all Aussie readers, quote 'BELLE<3OZ' on We Are Rubbish to get a flat rate shipping fee of SGD$15 for the entire month of December, yay!

Look what we have here. The glorious Substitute Club Spike ($139) and Moonspoon Saloon X Buffalo platform sneaker ($425); buy me any of these and I will comb your dog's fur everyday for a year... Seriously though, please?

P.S. If you haven't noticed, this is a scheduled post while I'm having fun (possibly) in Singapore with no internet, boohoo! Feel free to stalk and tweet me though.

Don't forget to enter the MyLeather x Pale Division giveaway worth $189+!

unif dream dress

2011-12-07T10:40:00.001+08:00

It was crazy fun wearing this UNIF dress as a maxi-cardigan. Plus, the breezy weather made it such a joy shooting these photos.

(UNIF leopard dream dress c/o Market HQ, Levi's denim shorts, Henry Holland suspender tights, Jeffrey Campbell Lita platforms)

Finally decided to wear my Henry Holland tights out for the first time, I don't know why it took me so long. They're beyond incredible though, and super comfortable. Not to mention soft too... Leopard, denim and suspenders? I say yes.

Flying off to Singapore tonight so I've got a few scheduled posts (watch out for them)... Hopefully I can blog from the little red dot too. Now, ciao!

/EDIT:

Take care, y' all! I might update through facebook and twitter so... bye!

electric blue on orange

2011-12-05T20:00:00.000+08:00

What I wore to hang out with a friend in the city! First few days of Summer suck but I guess I get to colorblock without all the excess layers, hehe. I love electric blue on bright orange... It has such a fluorescent effect!

(Orange oversized clutch c/o MyLeather, Forever 21 electric blue tee, Orange skirt c/o The Makers Factory, Gifted and assorted bracelets from everywhere, Metallic belt c/o Dear Monday)

There's this massive Christmas tree in the middle of the city (well, not that enormous but it's quite huge or I'm just miniature) - can you spot it in the background? I always get the best feeling during Christmas season! I'll actually be spending Christmas in Singapore this year so I am uber thrilled!

The new age movement; always on the phone...

The orgasmic slice of pizza I had for lunch. I still have no idea what it actually is but whatever, it is omnom!

What I wore to have Japanese brunch with mum and to stroll along shops.

(Celine-inspired clutch c/o The Quiet Riot, Dorothy Perkins striped tee, Furry knit cardigan c/o Romwe, Leather shorts c/o Lacepipe)

I know it's Summer but I was dead on wearing this furry throw-over out. I usually walk in the shade so the heat wouldn't bother me anyway... At first, I didn't think stripes and 'fur' knit would work with leather but ah, the most unexpected combinations seem to compliment perfectly.

Look! The Quiet Riot is having a Christmas competition so do yourself a favour and enter. The instructions are too simple so good luck!

I'm aware I look like a tool in round sunnies but I like them anyway so...

(Lace shorts c/o Oh! Poupeé, Double-breasted blazer - Similar here, Prada-inspired brogue creepers from overseas, Mulberry-inspired Alexa bag, Grey textured knit c/o Queenbels)

Outfit from the week before; felt rather neutral (I'm unsure if this is a legit feeling at all) the other day so I wore a bunch of greys and blacks! I've always adored texture on texture so knit on lace had to do. Anyway, hello December, to a phenomenal month full of crazy experiences!

Well, here are some discount codes to use on Queenbels' collection so abuse them while you can! They end at the end of December.

my ideal christmas

2011-12-01T09:47:00.003+08:00

Before I let you in on a fabulous Christmas Competition promotion by Magshop, I’d like you to bear with my word vomit… I know it’s probably way too early to be thinking and fantasizing about Christmas but it’s one of my favourite holidays so I can’t help it! As a child, I saw people in movies and cartoon shows celebrating a ‘White Christmas’ and was always jealous. The falling snow, the chilly weather with everyone huddled up in fur coats and massive parkas, the snow angels on the ground… What’s not to be envious of?

Honestly speaking, I’ve never had the chance to experience snow at all. Being a stalker of various style sites, I frequently come across photos of editors, bloggers and other muses decked in layers of outerwear, leather, and knits in the background of descending snowflakes. They’re always beaming; a subtle indication of what I’m missing out on. It must be nice, I’d always think to myself.

So if one was to question what my ideal Christmas holiday would be like, I’d be thrilled to ramble on about the perfect plan in my head; snow and lots of it to the point where I’m forced to leave the house looking like an overstuffed Yeti, a bunch of cash to blow on Winter shopping sprees, having my family with me so we can laugh about unnecessary things and take silly photographs together, and sipping hot chocolate by a charming lake house when we’re all exhausted. Of course, the perfect holiday destination for me would be New York, the city that never sleeps! Even so, what’s a fantastic holiday without magazines to keep you company on those long plane rides and endless queues at a sale…?

Without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to the Christmas competition hosted by Magshop! Magshop is your one stop shop for online magazine subscriptions in Australia.

This year, the prize will be 10 trips for two adults to beautiful Hawaii; the total prize values over a whopping $120,000! 

1. Return economy class airfares for two people from Sydney to Honolulu flying Hawaiian Airlines 

2. Return coach transfers between Honolulu airport and The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort 

3. Six-night Hawaiian Accommodation Package includes: Six nights stay in an ocean view hotel room at The Royal Hawaiian, located on Waikiki Beachfront  Historical/Cultural Activities  Seasonal Beach Activities

I know, isn’t that ridiculously amazing?! Ocean views and soaking up the ambience with your favourite person… You definitely don’t want to miss out so enter the Magshop Christmas Competition now!

red on leopard

2011-11-29T21:00:00.001+08:00

What I wore to chill with mum today. I was this close to losing one of my favourite rings because I was silly but I'll spare you the unnecessary details. On a brighter note, the weather was cold enough for me to take my blazer out to play!

(Red Rehace oversized blazer c/o Runway Bandits, Lovisa gold bracelet, Unif Get It leopard skirt c/o Beginning Boutique, Sportsgirl tank-top, VJ Style zipper boots)

Have been wanting to wear this out for a while now but it was always terribly humid so thank you for the sweet weather today, God! Vibrant red on leopard-print with gold details contrasted with black; my favourite elements combined into one outfit.

Mum bought me petite macaroons which I finished up today. Yum, yum! I've been planning for my Singapore trip and have written down places I want to dine at but... suggestions please? (Will totes blow you a kiss for each idea!)

Tweet, Facebook, or Formspring me?

inner circle: bubblegum pink

2011-11-28T11:05:00.000+08:00

Pink in different shades of coral, bubblegum, brights. Paired with more pink, black, white, green, red, purple, camel. In tulle, cotton, chiffon, knits. The end result? Bloody perfection with a nod of approval from the fairies.

Props to all the men in the world who pull off a pink suit. I particularly want that full pink ensemble from the Versace for H&M men’s collection. Those lace-up brogues and that metal-tipped collar. So much want.

Quite frankly, I’ve never had a liking for the colour pink. I’d usually avoid clothing racks full of it but I suppose the colour trend has finally won me over. I’d love to try out pink ombre hair tips too. It’s not over-the-top and looks tres cool. Just remembered the breast cancer foundation is team pink too! That officially makes pink one of my favourite colours…

Check out all the photos inspiring me this week over on the Inner Circle!

kool-aid shorts

2011-11-27T23:20:00.000+08:00

What I wore (a few days ago) to bum around the city on a very hot day where I felt like I was going to melt in a pair of shorts and a tank-top.. The weather is being ridiculous! It's been awfully chilly today and according to the reports, it'll heat right up again. I'll stop my whining lest I sound like the weather man... woman?

Painted my nails with ORLY Halley's Comet from Swagrshop! Do you like it? Personally, I love how 'glittery' it appears on my nails. I saw one of Michael Jackson's video the other day and it reminded me of Dolce and Gabbana's sequinned jackets and pants (which I am obviously way keen on) so painting my nails with this shiny liquid was indeed glorious.

Anyway, back to the outfit...

(Kool-aid cut-off shorts c/o Coal N Terry Vintage, Portmans sheer tank-top, Romwe leopard pony-hair creepers, Longchamp backpack, Target Kids' frilly socks)

Amazing dyed shorts and frilly socks (imagine how stoked I was when I found them at the kid's section) is such a fun combination! I especially like how there's repeated hints of white in the outfit; top and socks. Took these photos in the middle of the road where all the city offices were so it was rather intimidating but amusing at the same time, haha.

Have a wonderful week, you all! It's crazy how time flies... I'll be heading to Singapore in a week or so!

(Galaxy maxi-skirt c/o Lacepipe, Round sunglasses - Similar here and here, Sheer button-up c/o SUPRÉ, Silver cuff from local market, Burberry-inspired creeper shoes c/o Jessica Buurman)

Never paired a button-up shirt and a maxi-skirt so I did and... I loved it! Surprisingly, the sheer pieces complimented each other fairly well. These Burberry-inspired shoes are crazy sick right? You can never go wrong mixing galaxy-print with woven creeper platforms... Wore this out to pick up a few things with mum the other day so I didn't exactly need a bag.

Wanted to also share Beginning Boutique's It's Beachin' Spring lookbook with you all! I'm not a fan of hot weather but the bright colours, beautiful models and sunshine actually makes me want Summer to come...
