Simone - Your Style Architect: romper

Showing posts with label romper. Show all posts

Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving Weekend to all my friends especially those in America who celebrate this lovely and meaningful occasion.

Whilst many of you are getting bundled up this weekend as temperatures start to plunge ( even for my friends in Hong Kong), but I am sure the warmth of family and friends' love will certainly keep everyone nice and cosy this holiday weekend.

My son has been down with such a bad viral flu which seems to be going around in the community lots lately, that leaves me no time to work on any shots this weekend. Hence, sharing these pictures that were taken a few weeks ago and hope you enjoy it! Loving jumpsuits by the way and this cutesy piece from Topshop had me at " hello" with its broderie anglaise.

For some reason ( and this may actually spill the beans on my actual age...) but I started to feel a little nostalgic and reminiscent of the past recently. Particularly so of my teenage years and uni days.

And so, I tapped on iTunes my favourite band of all time -Tears for Fears, and immediately the memories started flowing. I recall how I painstakingly recorded my favourite songs of the band on a casette tape and played them on my walkman with headphones on as I sat on the school bus every morning who picked me up as early as 6am in the darkness, to head for school.

Their songs were of extreme vision and each song had so much meaning to the various stages of my life. It shaped and impressed the views of the world on me at that time. The struggles of mankind. And to this day, those songs still hold such strong political meaning.

Back to this playful look, its no denying I am into blush pink at the moment and with the embroidered detailing on the neckline as well as the long sleeves, this was a hit for me!

I hope you enjoyed this look and please share with me which is your favourite band of all time. It would be fun for us to reminisce together.

Fall is here. Well .... not in Singapore but I was presuming that we would start to get slightly cooler temperatures ( at least in the late 20s) and certainly more rain. To the contrary it just keeps getting hotter and more humid and it feels like it's Summer re-inventing itself all over again!

Never one to be keen on playsuits or rompers as it's so troublesome to take them on and off when we head to the ladies room but somehow it has an understated elegance attached to it. This was a nice casual, floral piece from good old Cotton On and it was not too fussy to have to deal with in the restrooms.

The frill and ruffled hemline makes it extra playful and I love how the fabric is non crease so it's lovely to take on resort trips etc. Naturally it would be nice to pair this with flat sandals but here's giving this look a little twist with statement earrings/ accessories and wedges.

Happy Saturday to you!

A nice relaxing week with some time off from work, spent catching up with friends and working on new crafts for school.

Loving this Olive hued romper cum dress from ZARA which is still perfect for that Summer-Fall transition seeing that the colour is all Fall but yet of cotton fabric which is still perfect for the slightly warmer afternoons here of still late 20 - early 30 degrees.

If you recall how crazy I was over trending White in summer, this Fall 2016, for some funny reason I am gravitating alot to Olive hued items. This was before I actually researched Fall 2016's colour pantones and guess what?! Olive came out tops as the first colour highlighted to trend for Fall 2016.

A loose tent dress cum romper ( so it's a romper underneath but outfit looks like a dress). I wanted to add a pop of colour to this slightly dull hue so opted to cinch the waist with an embroidered belt and paired it with these gorgeous LOVISA tassel earrings which was a recent birthday gift.

Not sure if you recall my rescue dog Rum ( and her pack that used to roam my old village and I started feeding them) - well am glad to update that whilst 2 of the pack are still in the kennels but happy as can be. And the other boy out of the pack is now adopted by a lovely European couple and here Rum is totally domesticated. Able to walk on lead, react to simple commands such as " sit" and " paw" and she is just too cute to watch me with my camera. Therefore I decided to let her join me for a few shots.

Before I go, here's some ideas for you when next out shopping in terms of Fall's Top 10 Colour Trends for 2016. You must read the full article here.

Have fun mix and matching them.

1) Olive
2) Coppertone
3) Rust
4) Diver ( i.e Dark Teal to midnight blue)
5) Dark Chocolate
6) Flax ( i.e Taupe)
7) Scarlet ( i.e Red)
8) Burgundy
9) Baby Blue
10) Dust ( i.e Light Grey)

So which is your favourite colour to trend for Fall 2016?

Love,
Simone xoxo

Hi everyone.

What a week!! Been sick as a dog all week - lost my voice, stuffy nose and literally had to call in sick for work as I could not get myself out of bed!! The worst I have ever felt and just right after my birthday.... seriously!!

Could not get a post out all week as a result, but now that I am on the road to recovery, here is a great look you can trend for the rest of summer.

Rompers are a hot favourite summer style to trend. Love this simple white romper from MANGO and decided to keep the look simple pairing white on white - another favourite colour trend for Summer.

Played on a monochromatic theme and pairing the all white outfit with black or black and white accessories. The geometric print on the clutch and the cage waist belt, helps to add texture and depth to the outfit.
