Vested Interest : Denim Shirt with Vest & Red Accents + 4 Outfit Styles with Glasses

Happy Monday everyone.

The boy is finally back to school - YEAH!!!! Had a request recently from a reader who asked to showcase some outfits she could wear with Glasses. As I do not wear glasses - it was a bit of a challenge that was put out to me but I love challenges.

So I decided to share this look with you which was a spin I had done recently on #PinnedItSpinnedIt. As you can see, the pin was of an outfit that was worn with glasses so ideally this is one look you could consider wearing with glasses. However as I do not own a pair, I could not incorporate it into my spin. Nonetheless as starters, a great idea of an outfit to work with.






Personally if I needed to wear glasses, I probably would not go for the frameless or typical business like type. In fact, I would make it my signature statement piece and go for larger frames, rounded slightly to suit my face and even sunglass styles that could work with any outfit. My sis, niece and mom all wear glasses but I can understand their choice of the atypical thin frame or frameless styles which would suit their lifestyle best but also for easy pairing and matching of outfits. But why not be bold and different! 

So here are some outfit inspirations that I had put together in the following styleboards to trend glasses with. And YES, you can wear large, darker frame glasses with an evening gown.

Goyard Bag, Charles David heels ( Heels.com), Labor of Love belt, New Look( ASOS) White Peplum Top
Keada's Kloset ( Jewelry), Maroon Pencil Skirt ( Polyvore), Light Brown Cardigan ( Uniqlo).
Dress and Floppy Hat ( ASOS)
Bottega Veneta Clutch, Christian Louboutin Heels, Chanel Necklace, Lavish Alice Dress

Vince Long Sleeve Shirt ( Polyvore), Black Pants ( GAP), Valentino Rockstud Heels, Chanel Earrings,
Long Black Blazer ( Dorothy Perkins), Louis Vuitton Soft Lockit, Missoni Scarf
And here are more pictures of celebrities trending glasses with their outfits.

I hope I was able to meet your challenge and hope these styles above would help some of you put outfits together to trend with your glasses. Have fun!!

Love,
Simone xoxo

Polka Weekend : 3 Ways to Style a Polka Dot Shirt.

Hi everyone! Yeah it's Friday again!

Wore this outfit recently as a spin off @ #PinnedItSpinnedIt on Instagram recently and thought it ideal to share this look with you, for a casual dress down Friday at work or for the weekend out. Classy yet quietly simple, polka dots somehow does add that feminine touch to an outfit without being too over " girly".




I wanted to keep the outfit simple and thought it fun to bring out my 3D doggie bag again. It's actually a pretty versatile bag to use on the weekend.



" Cookie" as usual was lurking around to photobomb my shots whenever she could, so decided to let her have the leading role in this next shot.


Whilst putting this post together I came across some Hollywood celebrities trending polka dot tops as well and figured, it would be nice to give you some styling tips and inspirational boards on how to wear a simple polka dot blouse.



 Any one of these looks below that I have put together would suit Petite sizes to Plus sizes. Depending on the type of industry you are working in, these looks could also easily take you from work to dinner/ drinks.

Floral in Fall : Floral Pants & Lace + Statement Necklace GIVEAWAY!


It's the weekend again everyone.

Been a long holiday week and was hoping to have more time to blog, but with the boy out of school for a number of days and the internet down at home, I could not do much till today. Was quite frustrating to be honest.

Those of you following the news would know that tensions are running high in Hong Kong with pro democracy protestors. Most people are now starting to get increasingly frustrated having to stay at home so as not to be inconvenienced by the standstill of transportation networks at certain major routes/ areas of Hong Kong and with some shops being closed in those affected areas.

Hence I hope this post would help cheer you up a little. Seeing most people here in HK would be home, getting on the internet to while away their time as going out isn't a good idea at the moment, or simply because its the weekend if you are on the other side of the world, and having a little more personal time to spare. I have decided to throw the first of my GIVEAWAYS of a beautiful Turquoise Fringe Statement Necklace to brighten your weekend. ( Read on for giveaway requirements and terms & conditions.)



Chanced upon an Instagram group that has fun spinning daily looks from an inspirational styleboard, put together by 2 fabulous ladies ( @jro1583 and @aem8168). This outfit was a spin to a look that was pinned on Instagram on 22 September. Tagged #PinnedItSpinnedIt, you will find women styling their daily outfits based on the inspirational pin and putting their personal touches to those looks to make it their own. Very fun....you should try it.

Just to give you an idea - here's the Pin that was put up on 22 September on styling a floral jacket, but since I didn't have one, I spinned it with floral pants instead.



Seeing the weather is slowly cooling down, I had thrown on a lace jacket over a similar lace top for those cooler days. However for those of you in warmer climates, the picture below sans jacket is equally great for warmer weather and a night about town. Just throw on a statement necklace, great heels and you got the perfect look.




Will certainly be sharing more Outfit Spins with you as I continue to play this challenge. For one, you don't have to think too hard about your outfit for the day as you have an inspiration to work with. Isn't that great!!
