Hi everyone,

Thank you for still sticking by and following me although I needed to take a much needed break from blogging as my life was just going in so many directions especially with Covid. One would think that I would have more time to be blogging but on the contrary, I got busier with collaborations especially for Instagram which I am most active on, for all my social media accounts.

Aside from that, my personal styling consults were getting more enquiries and I am now also the In-House stylist for one of the most prominent vintage clothing stores in Singapore. Styling people have always been such a fun experience but working with vintage wear - that's a whole other ball game as not many stylists are working in that direction. Most are focused on workwear, casual wear and outfits of today. Creating vintage looks and getting my customers happy with those looks takes a whole lot more!

Anyway, to re-introduce myself to all of you - here is a Pink and Green combo look which is an easily affordable outfit from Zara and one that any of you can Get The Look ( and not just for less!). I love this combination a lot and you will see me play with such colour palettes in upcoming posts. Meanwhile enough said, enjoy my return from sabbatical of blogging and stay tuned for more exciting reels and blog posts coming up. 

Always happy to take your enquiries for styling tips so please do drop me an email or a comment below on what you would like to see me style next or perhaps to ask for some styling tips. For those of you based in Singapore, happy to customise a styling session for you too based on your needs and budget so please Click on the tag above that says Personal Styling and we can get going from there once you have completed a Pre-Styling Consult survey.

Have a great Valentine's Day coming up and see you guys again soon.

Love,
Simone xoxo ðŸ’• 💋 


Summer Floral Printed Dress













Earrings : Esme Crystal / House of Rajput ( available here)


Hi everyone,

As many of our countries are slowly opening up, this is the time when we can get dressed up again and head outdoors. I do love maxi dresses a lot and when the owner of Linen & More approached me to style this dress - I was extremely delighted.

The silkiness of the material makes it such a comfy dress to style during the heat of summer. Now when comes to jewellery pairing, most people would not dare to think of pairing statement jewellery with a printed dress but as many of you know me - more is more - and so this stunning pair of Kira Hoop Earrings from Esme Crystals which is available from House Of Rajput, is the perfect pair of earrings to style with this dress. Its edgy design yet classy design with the peppering of crystals brings out both the femininity of the dress as well as yet add that touch of elegance to this classic summer dress.

Simple yet elegant sandals from Bayou Soles completes the look and the pairing with a statement bucket bag makes this look standout from the crowd. However, like the angel that dresses the Christmas Tree, I had to bring out this edgy belt that I got from my favourite vintage store  - A Vintage Tale to complete this total look.

Love,
Simone xoxo

Hey everyone,

It's Father's Day weekend and I am sure with Phase 2 now reopened in Singapore, many of you would have taken the opportunity to go dine out and have a little mini celebration. A much deserved family bonding time over good food and drinks this weekend. Remember stay cautious, wear your mask and keep your distance. 

I had posted this look on Instagram earlier on in the week and felt it should be reposted here with my full photo shoot shots highlighting and reemphasising how grateful we are of this new breakthrough with the new steroid and possibly antibody vaccine they are hoping to roll out once the data is collected and more trials done but light at the end of the tunnel for sure.

I chose to do another editorial style shoot in the comfort of my own home ( and also a safer option than heading out when all are running out and about). Played with a newspaper background and literally "broke through" to create this pictorial. I love the comfort of this rock chic look and I think it exudes some a "strong" woman / boss babe vibe to it. So went more edgy with the darker lip shade from Amplio Beauty and upcycled this old vest with a gorgeous patch from Just Gayas ( please do DM her on Instagram for prices and pattern options as it is not listed on her site yet). This look was finished off with a pair of stunning earrings from one of their latest collection from Shop Lustre and bangles ( a mix of 2 sets) from Stones That Rock. You may wish to note that they are having a storewide sale ( 25% off) all their jewellery online now till 26 June 2020, and you may also be gifted a free bracelet with your purchase. 


Completing this rock chic look are these buttery soft, handcrafted, curated pair of leather booties which I have worn countless of times regardless of climate and season. Its definitely an investment footwear to own. For my followers, The Tui Collection is offering a 25% off these Booties - use code " Booties25" to upon checkout for this fabulous deal!!


Hope you enjoyed this post and do note many of these brands do ship internationally, with many also offering free shipping within Singapore ( local shipping). Do pay them a visit and support them if you can.

Love,
Simone xoxo

How To Wear A Pin Stripe Jumpsuit

Hi everyone. This week, I am bringing you a casual look that you can style for Spring. Made of a slightly heavier material, which is perfect for those still slightly cooler days, and with a slight stretch to it, this double breasted pin stripe jumpsuit from J.O.A can be worn on it's own or as I did, pair it with a t-shirt underneath for more comfort.



Keeping this look casual, I paired it with a comfy pair of espadrille wedges and top it off with a baker's boy cap. However I needed to add my own little feminine twist to what would have seemed like a more tom-boy style of dressing. Hence the cute little flower pin which I had for more than 10 years hidden somewhere in my closet and now it was the perfect piece of accessory to finish this look with.

You could add a pair of booties to this look for a more funky vibe. And the straw bag in circular shape just helps to add a little texture to the final clean line look. The same goes for the contemporary wave ring.

Here are some other pin-stripe jumpsuit inspirations I found on Instagram and hope these pictures could help you style your jumpsuit in various ways.
