WRITE ME A LETTER



White tops are one of the most versatile pieces to have - they go pretty much with everything. I like to look for details that are unusual, like this piece I'm wearing from CK. It has a cape-like shape to it, together with an interesting chinese collar. The back is decorated with origami-like folds that reminds one of a letter. With all those details in the top, I finish off the look with a pair of simple berry colored pants to add a pop of color.

WHAT'S UP YOUR SLEEVES



It should be obvious by now that I'm attracted more to simpler styles with interesting details. When I found this blouse on the racks, I was immediately won over by the fur prints on the big lamp shaped sleeves. I was probably doubtful that it will look good on me, as the sleeves are huge and my limbs are really skinny. However, that did not deter me from trying it on and I'm actually quite pleased with how it looks, and it's oh so comfortable too! To balance the oversized top, I wore it with a pair of skinny pants and kept the palette muted so as to keep the focus on the sleeves, but completed the look with these jewel crusted sandals which look dangerous but are in fact super soft and wearable. Perfect for days when you have to run about in humid weather!

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!

ICY COOL FRESH



We haven't had rain in a number of days in Singapore, and coupled with the perpetual high humidity, the weather has become really hot. Although I can't change the weather, I can choose my colors to inject some coolness to my outfit. I've been looking for a crisp white blazer for months, and was lucky to find this in Munich, and on sale! Who cares that summer is over in Europe, I live on the equator and I'm going to wear this white blazer all year round. And these cyan pants, I become more and more in love with them each time I wear them. I hope you like this refreshing combination that I've put together. Stay fresh and cool for the week!

STAINED GLASS DOME



Can you guess what the print on this top is? Does it look familiar, yet you can't say what exactly it is? It's the steel and stained glass dome of Galeries Lafayette! This top was created by Agnes B. to celebrate 100 years since the inauguration of the Paris store in October 1912. I chanced upon this top in Tokyo earlier this year and was instantly drawn to its beautiful prints and colors. The shape of the blouse reminds me of a butterfly, which makes it even more special. Drop me a comment if you like this top too!

PLEATS AND BOXES




While it was still full blown summer along the Adriatic coast of Croatia, western Europe has already slowly moved into the Autumn season. Luckily (or unluckily) for us in Singapore, it is pretty much summer all year round. I've always liked pairing green and blue together, a refreshing and less predicable color combination for summertime. Other than the bold colors, the pleats on the top and boxy cut of the skirt add a nice texture and shape to the outfit. And how do you like my cat nails? Aren't they so cute!

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!

LIGHT AND SHADOWS



We found a mirror in a dark alley and decided to see what kind of pictures we can get out of it with our new flash. It turns out to be really fun and we ended up with lots of arty shots that we don't usually do.  I was wearing a black and white outfit, with the only color in my bag and soles of my shoes, and the lighting condition really brings out the drapes, the folds and the texture of the fabrics. The skirt may be a tad short for a normal work day, so I'll wear it on a friday when I'm feeling abit naughty. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we enjoyed taking them!

BLOCK THE BLUES AWAY



I really love structural clothes. When I first saw this top on Shopbop, I knew in a second that I want it. I kept it in my shopping cart for awhile without checking out, and it shortly went out of stock! I was devastated and kicking myself for not checking out, but luckily for me, it came back in stock a few weeks later! It is such an easy top to wear and will go so well with all my skinny pants and fitted skirts. This outfit reminds me of the white and blue Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini in the stunning Aegean Sea. Just throw in a timeless Chanel necklace and leopard print pumps to add a touch of interest to the outfit and I'm ready to go. Perfect for days when I don't fancy being fancy.
