Fly Little Blue Bird, Fly!













Hello everyone, from sunny Florida!

After almost 30 hrs travelling door-to-door and after 3 flight changes, we finally arrived and am slowly adjusting our body clocks. As much as I love travelling to the States and of course being the festive season to see family, however I seriously hate having to overcome jetlag. It's been 5 days now and I am still walking around the house at 3am and feeling ready for bed by 5pm.

I was seriously hoping to start styling warmer and thicker clothing whilst out in Florida, but the weather amazingly is so warm during the day, I might as well be back in Asia. Am waiting for a cold front to hit perhaps sometime next week, so I can style some year end warmer outfits for you.

If you know me well enough, I love bling and so this little blue glitter bird called out to me as soon as I laid my eyes on this winter style chequered shirt. Found this clutch purse in  my mother-in-law's closet and it matched perfectly with my burgundy boots.

Enjoy your last weekend before Christmas shopping some amazing deals and watch this space for more holiday outfits before the year is up.

Colours of Christmas










Just a few more weeks before Christmas! Whilst I am seeing many of my fellow bloggers highlighting Christmas outfits and backdrops of Christmas decorations in their IG pictures, so here is an outfit post on Christmas colours particularly of red and green. 

As we will be flying out to Florida shortly to spend Christmas this year, I decided not to decorate the home seeing we won't be around to enjoy it. Instead here is a  post to inspire for your Christmas gift shopping.

This lovely vest from #LaurelBlooms could be worn as a top / dress/ or outerwear. As we are in the tropics and it is so warm over this festive season, I styled this top with black shorts under (just to maintain some form of decency)  and wore it as a dress. At my age, wearing it on its own would have been a little too risque for my liking.

May I add, this was the perfect colour combination for me to trend even more lovely jewels and arm candy from #Blueirishandicrafts. I love the unique polygon shaped pendant with the matching drop earrings that accented the Christmas colours of red and green. Keeping the parisian feel to this outfit post, I wore the pendant on a double choker necklace. 

Similar to the purple stoned cuff I styled in a previous post ( check it out here), this time I styled the thinner and curvier emerald green cuff with this look.

If you like to get some of these very reasonably priced jewellery from Blue Iris, please check out their range of products on Instagram and on their Facebook page and place your order directly with them. All sales go towards supporting the tradesmen making such lovely handmade jewellery.

Watch this space as I bring you more lovely  year end festive looks from USA shortly!

Ride The Wave :: White Jumpsuit + Black Trimmings

A rare midweek treat!

Just a couple of posts ago, I was ranting about finding it hard to style my dinner outfits, often planning a look and then having to change it last minute due to a "technical glitch" - such as a white jumpsuit that was too see through for me to feel comfortable throughout dinner.

However, a lovely outfit that could not be passed just like this, I decided to push on and find a solution. So here is that wonderful white jumpsuit which I love so much  - and finally styled !With my super skills in fixing this issue I hope you enjoy this look.








As you know I am always finding great looks at reasonable prices and this outfit is one such testimony. Saw this jumpsuit on Forward by Else Walker ( check it out here) however, found the similar style on Shein.com ( get the look for less here) which fits me perfectly too.

Up in the SKYE@Pullman :: Monochrome Outfit + Leather Mules

Happy Sunday everyone,

Have you ever had the trouble of wondering what to wear when headed out for dinner? At the back of my mind, I always pre-plan my outfit in preparation for going out so that I would not need to fuss, rush and stress especially when I am running tight on timing. Of course, having advance knowledge of the venue would help for you to consider the direction of your outfit e.g lace, sexy, casual, elegant etc...

Issue is, often than not, most of the outfits I plan to wear would end up somehow not looking right for the occasion once I put it on, or there would be some " technical glitches" i.e a white jumpsuit which ended up too transparent and I really don't have an inner camisole for a white jumpsuit ( seriously how do you find a romper-style camisole with long enough leg length to run through the length of the jumpsuit pants? So here I am on Friday, heading out to a recently launched rooftop bar called SKYE @ the Pullman hotel. Unfortunately I have yet to purchase a small hand held dslr camera that could fit in my clutch and lugging a huge dslr camera would be such a bother, hence ended up with iphone pics. Hope you don't mind.



A nice entry at the lift lobby, club music playing over the central speakers and  3 lovely hostesses waiting patiently at the entrance to greet guests and escort them out to their tables.


It was a crowded evening at the bar and as I did not feel comfortable to impose and inconvenience any of their guests, hence here's a quick shot of the view at the bar, overlooking most of Causeway Bay and across the Victoria Harbour to Kowloon.



After our first drink outside with lovely crispy whitebait and nuts for bar snacks, we were escorted back into the main dining area where the ambience was quieter more elegant than chic.


Still with a great view behind us, we indulged in the fusion contemporary fine dining food. A little over priced for the portions served, and although the rooftop bar was certainly a place we would return again, I will be honest to say that I am not too sure about the restaurant. Somehow the evening left me a little disappointed in terms of flavour and portioning as far as food is concern. As with most things, less is more and sometimes too many over powering flavours just clash and don't work well for the dish. However the bar as a venue I would most certainly highly recommend.


So back to the outfit for the evening. I finally decided ( after 5 changes of outfits) to pull together old favourites once again to get through the evening. Paired this lovely off shoulder white top with a very old ZARA stretchy pants. You can check out my other post featuring this top here.


This long neck tie accessory is actually a belt from the white jumpsuit which I had to give up trying to style for the evening. Kept the whole look on the monochromatic colour tone and since it was a " Chanel" night so to speak, paired Chanel accessories to complete the look. Check out my other post pairing Chanel accessories here.

Loving the backdrop of suitcases behind the Concierge desk of the Pullman Hotel, I had to take a couple of shots in this location. ( psst... can you spot the Concierge Porters in the picture? Cool uniform don't you think)




My favourite BCBG Maxazria Plisse Watch still rules the day. Given it's a discontinued style, I am certainly holding on to this beauty - hopefully it'll be a vintage watch or collector's item someday.




For a slight pop of colour to the outfit, pulled out my Zara leather mules in mauve hue to pair with the look.
