Hello everyone,

I know I don't usually post during the week but seeing that Friday is Valentine's Day and many of you may still be wondering what to wear or needing some inspirations, here is one more to add to your list trending some gift ideas for you guys to gift your beloved.

Red is the colour of luck to the Chinese but also the colour of love. So this Valentine's Day, I have pulled out something from my current closet ( no special shopping in line with keeping fashion sustainable). If Kate Middleton can recycle her outfits in the public eye, why not me?

This ruffle trim strapless dress is perfect for date night. Of course with a gift of " bling" it always helps to pump up the volume to the dress ( hint... hint...) and I especially love this bracelet from APM Monaco. Their pieces are unique in design and certainly very pretty to style any evening wear with.

I am sure you guys would realise by now my love for shoes from The Tui Collection. In all honesty, when I purchased my first pair, the leather was still stiff and so had cut me round the ankle but after the second wear and the leather softens and moulds to one's foot, it is the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. Therefore my love for this brand certainly grew and grew.

Likewise, you would have noticed me styling this vintage upcycled clutch on my Instagram feed several times and rightfully so, because this clutch is so versatile and with a long strap that could be attached, it allows one to wear it up or down with any outfit. I chose to pair this dress with this clutch for its geometric pattern and the accent of the red on the bag. The kiss lock with it's " diamond" clasp adds that touch of elegance to the bag. You will certainly see me style more outfits with this bag.

Being Valentine's Day, I would like to showcase some diamond jewellery pieces not only for styling one's evening outfits but also again... a gentle hint to our love ones for pressies ideas!! This contemporary styled pendant in mixed coloured diamonds keeps the look fluid with it's soft linear design and the leaf shaped ring adds a little texture too. These pieces are from Taka Jewellery here in Singapore but I am sure you can find similar styles in other jewellery shops online or around the world. If you are based in Singapore, do pay them a visit for their latest collection of contemporary styled rings and pendants.

I hope you enjoyed this look and do share with me how you will be spending Valentine's Day.

Love,
Simone xoxo

Oh My Valentine ! :: Lantern Sleeve Blouse + Fur Vest


Happy Valentine's Everyone!

A quick mid week post to highlight my somewhat twist on the typical classic Valentine's outfit - often being a very feminine sort of dress such as a little black / lace dress, red dress, skirt combinations etc...

This gorgeous lantern sleeve top was one I had found on my favourite online go to store - Shein.com for the latest fashion trends and items at a fraction of the cost. Seeing the nights  in Hong Kong these few days are pretty cold averaging 12 - 15 degrees, I threw on this fur vest to keep me warm as dinner was outdoors yet being sleeveless, accomodated for the showcasing of this statement sleeve blouse.




It was a casual dinner planned therefore, I decided to go statement with the blouse yet casual with the pants. Stiletto ankle booties was the perfect answer to finish the look.





I hope you enjoyed this look. Now you can trend this same look from my favourite items from Shein.com.

Black Boat Neck Lantern Sleeve Bowknot Blouse ( available in 3 colours)

Black Scallop Hem Crop Flared Pants

Black Faux Fur Vest
Black Metal Skeleton Hand Accent Studded Clutch Bag

Gold Plated Hollow Square Brooch ( perfect when belt is tied over)

Elegant Rhinestone Flower Wedding Party Brooch
Gold Color Metal Ball Statement Rings 


Black Chain Embellished Stiletto Ankle Booties

Black Cutout Point Toe Stiletto Suede Booties

Have fun this evening and hope you enjoyed this look!

Feeling Ethnic :: Shein.com Embroidered Loose Dress ( Featured)

Hi everyone.

I hope all of you are keeping warm with the crazy changes in weather over in the States. And for those of you here in Hong Kong, experiencing chills which was last felt this cold almost 60 years ago. 

As promised in a previous post, this is the second outfit by the kind people at Shein.com who had sent me 2 outfits to showcase to my readers. If you had missed the first one, click here to read the post.


Obviously this picture was taken just before the cold snap hit. With Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day just around the corner, many of you here in Asia are starting to get new clothes and prep for the big festival. Naturally, online shopping seems to be a good way to pick up great bargains and of course, with the mercury dropping - getting new stuff from the comfort of the warmth of your homes seem to be the best bet for the moment. 


Although traditionally, wearing black on new year's is pretty much frowned upon in chinese culture, however these days many of the younger generation have broken that " rule". So why not consider this outfit which has a little ethnic influence for the new year. If you do not celebrate Chinese New Year, this is certainly a nice little black number for that romantic Valentine's Dinner with that special someone. Great length, perfect with heels and an easy to go from Dinner to Drinks/ Dance after outfit.



Am loving the embroidered detailing on the hemline of this loose dress. It was cut loose and pretty A-line in shape therefore, I decided to belt it up with my leather obi belt to cinch in the waist for an elegant touch to this dress.


I had also purchased these cute little tassles for hooking on to the zippers of my clutch for a DIY change to some of them. Whilst styling for this outfit post I found a totally different purpose for them this time. Hooking them up as tassles to a simple stiletto heels for that party look.



My girlfriend recently sent me this necklace from Thailand which was so ideal to pair it with this dress to bring out that whole ethnic feel in the outfit. This Swarovski inspired style of jelly stacked bangles in rose gold completed the whole look.
