Hi everyone,

For those of you living in Singapore, you would have been following me on Instagram where I have been showcasing many types of hats or head cover recently as it's been sweltering hot these last few weeks. The heat and then the extreme blasting air conditioning in malls or public transportation has me suffering pounding migraines and headaches.

So I decided to keep the temperature more constant by wearing head scarves, hats and some type of cover from the drastic change in temperature on the top of my head. With this, I started to enjoy styling the different types of hats and I start to realise that not many people do wear hats in Singapore - when our weather is so ideal to style hats. I am not just talking about sports caps but stylish and chic hats.

Hence, I started a #hatchallengesg on Instagram to get everyone to share with me pics of them styling hats in Singapore so we can push more people to enjoy this trend. If you could, please do share your pic with me with the following :

Moving on to today's look, I love this saucer style hat which I had commissioned my favourite millinery in Singapore - Girl With A Hat to design for me after watching the Emily in Paris series on Netflix. Yet wanting something more feminine and cute - Lise who is the owner and found of this millinery added cute little butterflies to my saucer hat to create some 3D effect for me.

So here is the first of many looks styling this cute hat for Summer!

I hope you enjoyed this fun look and don't forget to head on to Instagram to participate in my #hatchallengesg!

Love,

Simone xoxo

Hello from Sunny Florida,

What a trip! After 30 hrs door to door travelling to finally enjoy the start of our summer vacation. Lucky enough, we were able to travel in Business Class this time and so managed to catch some zzzs on the flight. After a couple of days, finally we have gotten over our jetlag, no longer walking around like the walking dead or zombies in the middle of the night.

So, I usually love to listen to music whilst writing my posts and this time, I was in an R&B mood and chanced upon an artist - Jeff Bernat. Enjoying his album "The Gentleman Approach" in particular the song " Call You Mine". Korean pop star Crush did a cover version of this song as well and it's such a feel good song.

Found this lovely Eliza J dress here in Florida and fell in love immediately with its geometric fabric pattern but more so the high collar which called out "Chinoiserie" to me. Oriental in design yet western in style. Unfortunately as I was prepared for a dress down casual holiday so did not have many heel choices in my luggage to work with to style this outfit. Therefore went with sandals for a change.

Accessories can often make such a difference to an outfit. Love the match of the gold sandals and straw clutch to keep the look smart casual and to round off the whole resort feel, the straw hat in solid navy all help to tone down the busy print of the dress.
