One Trend You Need in 2017 :: Long Sleeve Midi Dress


Hi everyone,

My favourite dress style that seems to work all year round ( in different textures) -  the Long Sleeve Midi dress, is the one dress style you should trend for 2017. A versatile dress style and a favourite amongst celebrities for 2017. this is the one look you need. Even Victoria Beckham was inspired trending this dress style for her SS2017 collections.


I found this midi rib dress during an H&M sale and the earthy Burgundy tone just had me at " hello".



To be honest, I picked up this dress whilst out shopping with my son. As everyone knows, kids hate being dragged around from store to store. So with the constant bugging " Mom, can you please hurry up....mom can you please hurry up....." I just grabbed this off the rack seeing it had such a " future" and without trying it for fit, just rung it up at the cashier. After all it did have a big red label on the price tag!!


Thinking I am used to H&M sizing chart what could go possibly wrong, and there I set off a happy gal. But when I got home, it somehow literally hung on me like a potato sack - a little wider at the neckline and certainly just a full straight on drape down the length of my body. A little disappointed at first, I badly wanted to style this dress and of course with money spent it just had to be worn ( at least once perhaps!). Love the sleeves which was a little flare at the cuffs. So ended up belting the dress and wearing it slightly off shoulder on one side and voila.... this is the look today.



An easy look to wear to work and perfect match with my Berry Red Ankle Booties and Goyard St. Louis. Threw on a coat for cooler mornings and evenings and wore it with High Cut Leather boots for colder days. Alternatively check out Victoria Beckham styling a similar rib dress from her collection below but layering with a striking coloured shirt underneath for cooler days.

VIDEO :: Summer Pairings 2016

Good Sunday to everyone,

Here's a quick video I had put together on Summer Pairings 2016. For some funny reason I have been gravitating to buying clothing items particularly in the colour white this year.

So I thought, why not put together a video to showcase some styles mix and matching white tops and dresses for Summer 2016.

Enjoy and please do let me know in the comments below what you would like to see deatured in my future videos.

Summer's Hottest Trend :: Off Shoulder Top with Flare Sleeves

Hello, hello, hello!

What a week! Been so busy at work and working on collaborations for my blog that I hardly had the chance to put together an outfit post for a while. Before I begin, let me remind you that the last two series of COACH giveaways is still ongoing so log in your entries now. Just head over to my link on the navigation bar on " Current Giveaways" or click here to view.


Loving the off shoulder look which is Summer's hottest trend! Ideally so, when the weather is so HOT that bare shoulders does help to keep us slightly cool. Plus given now that I have cut my hair short for summer, it is such a nice feeling to go out in the heat feeling the breeze on my shoulders and neck. This beautiful Rosie Assoulin inspired top thrilled me when I received it in the mail.


Wanted to style this as a casual top, hence paired it with a nice comfy Calvin Klein shorts and my fedora hat from good old Uniqlo.




This style of off shoulder top is slightly different than the conventional gartered tube top style, which often rides up to your shoulders when you lift up your arms. The sleeves being non gartered and seperately stitched on to the main body of the outfit allows that flexibility of movement of the arms. And somehow its a sexier feel to your standard off shoulder top.



The flared sleeves is another hot summer trend to play with. The theatrical and dramatic effect of these sleeves is certainly one reason why I love this top so much.




Kept accessories to the same colour tone and paired it with my favourite sneakers for running around. Perfect outfit for summer holidays too !
