Let's Go To The Circus ( Museum)!

Hi everyone,

Was recently at the Ringling Bros Circus Museum in Sarasota, Florida and my word it was indeed a day well spent taking in the miniature circus display, admiring the beautiful costumes and having a first hand view of the props used in those days!




Whilst walking around the grounds of this beautiful museum, I had to whip out my camera for some shots to share with you. The ornate architecture of the buildings was something that just had to be captured on film to be remembered forever.





The luscious green grounds and ornate architecture was just simply too stunning not to set the backdrop for another post.



I had to have some fun when I came across an " old friend"!



You could see I was a little uncomfortable with this shot but just had to have some fun fooling around!




As you would have noticed, another post on my favourite colour for Summer - WHITE! Just loving this white eyelet dress from London Times. So cool, comfy and certainly a pretty dress to take along on any holiday vacation.


Check out those little dwarfs photobombing me amidst the Banyan Trees!

I hope you enjoyed this post and stay tune for another great giveaway coming your way real soon !

Leather Me Up :: Leather Jacket & Skirt with Stripe Turtleneck

Hi everyone.

Being just about a week away from Christmas, my schedule has just gotten sooo busy with last minute shopping, school plays to attend, class parties to prepare food for etc... Not to mention, trying to keep warm whilst the weather gets cooler.

I have always felt that a Leather Biker/Motorcycle Jacket as some would call them, is a basic essential item one should have in the wardrobe for the winter season. A classic piece to own, I love trending this jacket ( and I am sure you will see a couple of outfit posts with this jacket during the winter season) for it's versatility, comfort and style.




If you haven't noticed, I do love same colour combinations of classic pieces for the different seasons in my fav Black and Stripes Combo. And always working on accenting with a pop of colour. So here a nice richer Burgundy/ Maroon coloured bag ( instead of bright red in Summer), which can double up as a clutch, adds the perfect touch to complete the look.


Since the leather skirt was pleated, it had a flirty girly edge to it so why not have some fun during the shoot! Here's a candid shot for you!



Love the detailing of studs on the jacket especially for this year since many designers have caught on to the stud craze for their luxury goods e.g Valentino, Marc Jacobs etc. Also being a round collared jacket unlike most traditional high collared Biker Jackets, this style would give one more room to play with accessories or high collared inner piece necklines.


Kept my accessories simple with just a gold watch and a simple gold bangle. However since the outfit was in full leather, why not go all out with leather hi cut boots as well!



Am working now hard on editing my next video to be released before Christmas on basic Winter Items you should have in your wardrobe. So do stay tune and watch this space next.

Grey Skies :: Embellished Grey Jumper + Socks in Shoes Trend.


Brr...Hi Everyone.

The winds just changed so  much cooler overnight at the turn of the clock from 30 Nov to the 1 Dec and the whole winter festive mood just clicks in the air.

To begin, let me first thank all of you for your enthusiastic support on the Marc Jacobs US$300 Gift Card Giveaway and for your " likes" and " comments" on my blog posts. It was fun putting the looks together and being further encouraged when my readers gives me that valuable Thumbs Up!

Having not done an outfit post recently, here's one to start off my Socks in Shoes Trend which I wish to just go crazy with this Winter.



By now, many of you would realise I am a " bling" kinda girl and I love that this jumper has the embellish shoulders which just glams up a casual gray sweater. LOVE IT!

Decided to just go all out with the bling then with the chunky bangles and of course trending a new hat for this Winter. Another favourite hat style I love is this newsboy cap... casual yet fun!






Was out shopping recently for Christmas gifts for my girlfriends and family and although it's only the start of December but my word, the Christmas feeling is in the air. So I had to just to blast my favourite Christmas carols in the background whilst typing out this post. I even have my favourite Christmas fragrance burning in the oil burner in the room. I do love Christmas sooo much - just all the memories of traditions we had in the family.



This green beaded cuff bangle which I am wearing was Grandma's and one of those that I had gotten her for Christmas just the year before she passed away.  So wearing it in this outfit in the lineup for Christmas means so much.




And finally, the first of my few socks in shoes trend. This was a much lighter pair of socks which I easily paired with my stilettos from River Island. Subtle yet giving the outfit a fun element.


Let me know if this trend is a yay or a nay with you? It's the first time I am styling this trend but am certainly having fun with it.

Enjoy your weekend and do look out for my next video coming up on Monday, 8 December 2014.

Aztec Culture : Two Piece Aztec Print Outfit + Grey Winter Hat


Brr.....it is indeed getting colder now. As you can see from the view behind, it is foggy and miserable these last couple of days...so needed a little pick me up with my new hat which I got from Zara Home!! YES !!! They do sell accessories as well. Was completely surprised but a girlfriend wore hers and I said " I gotta have it", and at a steal of a price as well as with  a " MADE IN ITALY" tag instead of the usual "made in china", how could I not?




Aztec prints is definitely fun to trend this Fall, especially when top to toe print outfits / looks is the IN trend for Fall / Winter 2014. So imagine my blissful happiness when I stumbled across this 2 piece crop top skirt suit from a boutique in one of our local malls in the area. Can you believe it? Comfy and slightly stretchable, this ( what I would think is some sort of cotton) outfit was only less than US$ 20! Didn't bother to try it in the fitting room and kept fingers cross it'll fit. Lo and behold!! Another great buy!



I do love crop tops but find it very difficult to style / trend them. You probably would have noticed I have not posted much outfits in this style since I am so conscious about my tummy area and believe me - I have no "washboard toned" tummy to show off. So finding the right length for a crop top was ideal. This one just barely skimmed the top of the skirt and what was even better is that trending this style for Fall, with the options of  a scarf to help hide any areas that would peep through, this outfit was worth every penny. More so, you can even mix and match the top with jeans or perhaps pair the skirt leggings, turtleneck and a jacket.  So ideally you have at least 4 outfits or so to trend with one buy.

Am leaving you with some pictures of outfits that's been styled for Fall with different styles of hats. Hope it will inspire you.
