LEATHER FOCUS

Leather is not the most obvious thing to wear in this tropical climate, but with fall and winter collection everywhere, it's hard to ignore this luxurious material. I got this fitted and buttery soft leather top in a pale pink colour, a divergence from the usual black for leather clothing. It may be simple, but it certainly catches people's attention, as I have been asked by a couple of people the first time I wore this. To channel a quiet elegant look, I paired this with a olive coloured pencil skirt. Have a great start to the week!

ROCOCO

I've just came back from a trip in Europe, where I visited 9 different cities in Austria, Croatia, Germany and Slovenia. As with most European holidays, cathedrals and palaces were part of the itinerary. Of the cathedrals and palaces I saw this time, many were built and decorated in Rococo style. The Schönbrunn Palace, where the beautiful Sisi once lived, is one fine example of Rococo architecture. This jacket reminds me of the Rococo style, injected with a splash of tropical summer. My jackets have always ended above the hips, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that I can actually carry off this one which is slightly oversized and longer in length. As they say, you'll never know if you never try! So why not try something new today and give yourself the chance to be pleasantly surprised!

AZTEC SURPRISE

I've never stepped into a H&M store in Singapore until very recently, because I don't like shopping in highly crowded environments most of the time. A couple of weeks back, I met up with an old friend for dinner and we ended up at the Suntec Mall. The newly furbished wing is bright and spacious, and houses a H&M store. But because most people don't know that the wing is already opened, it's very empty. I then took the chance to pop in to H&M and found this affordable aztec print jacket. For it's price, the jacket is very well made and has a nice structure to it. I can wear it with my basic pieces and it will instantly give the outfit a more updated and trendy feel. I'm loving it!
