Cha Cha Cha :: Checkered Skirt & Gingham Street Styles 2015.

Happy Friday,

Slowly picking up pace on my blog posts again whilst I sort out my personal issues. Sorry for the slowdown over the last 2 weeks. Should be back on track very soon with exciting collaborations and giveaways coming your way soon.

Meanwhile, as mentioned in my previous post on my " 10 MUST HAVES FOR SPRING WARDROBE 2015", Gingham is heavy trending in terms of pattern for this year. So some of you may be wondering what is the difference then between Gingham prints,  Checks, Plaid & Tartan?

Gingham pattern are usually smaller check prints of equal width ( square) and often alternating with white. Many often associate this kind of print with aprons, kitchen cloths and young girls' outfits. But 2015 will see this print in clothing styles that would take it up a notch to a sexy level.

Plaid ( as its known in the USA & Canada) OR Tartan, is often associated with Scottish kilts or blanket patterns. Consisting of varying criss crossing of horizontal and vertical bands where the varying stripes meet, this gives the appearance of new colours blended from the original ones.

Checks tend to be larger square patterns of equal width, similar to Gingham, and often alternating with white or black though not always.

So now that we have cleared up the confusion of these varying checkered patterns, here's my style inspiration for you this week. As I do not own anything in Gingham JUST YET ( and hopefully I will look at getting some), therefore I decided to pull out my checkered peplum skirt - being the next closest pattern to Gingham and trend it since the weather has warmed up a little.



Nice to throw on a floppy hat and statement jewelry to top off the whole look!

Peplum Party :: Faux Leather Peplum Jacket & Pink Peplum Skirt

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Over here in Asia, we don't usually celebrate Thanksgiving as much unless you are an American or have enough American friends to throw a party for. However I believe we all should be celebrating Thanksgiving, to give thanks for all the good things we have received throughout the year.


As the festive season is round the corner, thought I would inspire you with this outfit. Bought this skirt from ASOS sometime back but didn't get a chance to wear it as it is still quite a party type kind of skirt ( not one you can wear out that often) unless it's been paired with something more casual on the top like a crop top or for a more elegant dinner event etc.


Paired the skirt with another great ASOS buy - a River Island faux leather embossed peplum jacket. I love that it's kind of light and yet warm enough for those cooler evenings outdoors. A great jacket to mix and match with.


If you are wondering why this colour combination? Well actually there was a PIN on instagram few weeks back which I wanted to spin  but did a twist on it again by mix and matching the colours on the PIN with this outfit, hence I had to work with this color palette. But it worked out great don't you think?



So for the festive season, I paired the outfit with my old Glitter Clutch and Rockstud Heels to glam up the look.
