Happy New Year everyone!

What a trip! Still in Florida dealing with chiller nights but warm days.

Unfortunately upon arriving from chilly UK to sunny Florida, I had gotten so ill and was in bed for a good few days with a bad flu and ear infection. Am still trying to get over it proper however here's something to kick off the new year with and to update all of you with my round the world trip.

Will be doing a series of posts for the giveaway contest listed below.

Outerwear : Ministry of Retail Military Cape Winter Jacket - worn 2 ways.

Fleece Turtlenecks : UNIQLO

Knitted Shawl : UNIQLO

Just spending only 3 nights in UK to visit family recently enroute to Florida, I didn't get the chance to do much sightseeing of the local attractions there although I would have like to pop into the new Harry Potter Studios in Watford itself for a quick tour. Nonetheless it was an ideal opportunity for me to take a couple of pics for my blog with a whole new environment and weather to deal with.

" GIVEAWAY CONTEST" !

Had a thought with my new mobile " Owl" cover to have a lil fun with all of you! Will be doing a series of " Spot The Owl" for my holiday pictures and for each post if you can comment and identify where you have spotted the owl in ALL of the pictures. I will be giving away a STEVE MADDEN Mobile phone carrier cum ID card holder to the lucky fan who have identified every single picture and post for the entire 3 Part series contest.

Each of these posts will feature pics of my lil Pink Owl for your finding. So, follow these few criteria and happy hunting for my Lil Pink Owl :
1) Follow my blog
2) Identify in each post by commenting the places you have spotted the Owl.

Happy weekend everyone! Just watched the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony and boy must it be said, it was choreographed fantastically and what an amazing show! My husband is seriously going on the whole morning " Only the British can do it this well!" ( what an ego!!). I guess all British must be so proud of the way it was organised and rightfully so. The humor interjected in it with Rowan Atkinson ( Mr Bean) & Daniel Craig as the Queen's official bodyguard for her Opening Ceremony appearance was hilarious! Hope you guys enjoyed it too.

Back in Singapore, as the weather heads to greater humidity again, I have decided to highlight more summer pairings for you to play with Summer's fav colours of Mint Green & Striking Pink.

Blazer/ Jacket : H&M ( similar here)
Top/ Bustier : Foster Bay
Jeans : New Look ( similar here)
Shoes : New Look ( similar here)
Accessories : Yellow Stud Bracelet ( similar here) & Origami belt ( similar here)
Bag : Foster Bay

Have a good weekend ahead and have fun watching the games!

Love,

Simone

Having been married to a British for over 10 years, it has certainly exposed and got me hook to British Fashion trends, shows, news... and the list goes on. British designers such as Victoria Beckham, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and John Galliano are amongst my favourite designers to follow. British stylists such as Gok Wan is so amazing with his creativity and how he can understand a woman's body much more than a woman can! ( How to Look Good Naked)

I am certainly most hooked onto Sky News or the BBC for my news updates rather than the local newschannels as well as British TV channels such as BBC entertainment, BBC Lifestyle, BBC Knowledge and itvGranada for my all time favourites being Fawlty Towers, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, Graham Norton Show, The Secret Millionare, Come Dine With Me and the list goes on...

Recently I have been watching the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant and celebrations and following the likes of the Duchess of Cambridge - Catherine ( Katherine) Middleton on her down to earth fashion sense and most importantly, not being afraid to " recycle" her outfits in different situations.

Therefore with the London Olympics opening on 27 July 2012, I am dedicating this post to
" LONDON CALLING 2012" and highlighting a couple of outfits in the colours of the Union Jack that could possibly give you some ideas on how to style for the various parties you will be attending during the Olympic period.
