A week into the Chinese New Year - Year of the Pig, many are still out there meeting up friends and relatives for the traditional Lo Hei ( which means " tossing the salad" ). This is a dish traditionally available only in Singapore and Malaysia but gradually finding it's way all over the world. Many chefs through the years have added their personal twist and touch to this dish which every member around the table tosses the mixture of salad ingredients, each symbolising good fortune and wealth. By raising their chopsticks and tossing the salad together ( the higher one drops it the more luck it is believed to befall on their participants) whilst chanting auspicious sayings like " good health and good wealth", " money come money come" etc.. it is definitely a sight to enjoy, a thrill to participate in and definitely fun for all the generations to come together in laughter and good cheer.

Feeling nostalgic, let's look back now through the years on my various Chinese New Year outfits.
This year feeling little subdued with Dad being gone less than a year, so I kept to more pastel colours.
Off shoulder or toga style has been my thing these couple of weeks and so this outfit from Talulah was the ideal choice for Chinese New Year.
Floral and yet subtle in colour, I love the asymmetric skirt and toga cut which accentuates the right parts of my body and more so with the embellishment at the waistline it certainly created a beautiful silhouette and yet such a comfortable dress to wear.
Paired it with a blush clutch and heels and being Chinese New Year, don on my favourite dragonfly jade earrings and diamond bangle and ring to complete the look.
Hope you like this and wishing all of you a happy Chinese New Year!!
Love,
Simone xoxo
