HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

It's that time of the year again, when the lunch crowd gets lesser and traffic gets lighter as I drive to work every morning. With less people in the office, I find myself dressing more casual as we enter the holiday season. This lace printed sheer silk dress is girly and flirty at the same time. It was my first purchase from Shopbop about 2 years ago and I have been hooked since. 

I'll be off for a holiday myself, stuffing myself silly with great food, shopping and challenging the ski slopes. In the meantime, have a very merry Xmas. Happy holidays!

THE CHRIS HEMSWORTH DRESS

Sexiness doesn't have to be in your face, and subtle sexiness can be worked into your office attire. Although this vibrant colored dress is of very respectable length, ending below the knee, the sheer silk material hints of what lies underneath as you walk against the light. The slit down the middle flaps open slightly as you walk, revealing some skin and upping the interest factor. Now, you must be wondering why I call this the Chris Hemsworth dress. A few months ago, I ran into Chris Hemsworth in Hong Kong, and took a picture with him while I was wearing this dress. If you're a fan of Chris Hemsworth, below is the picture I took with him (pardon the grainy picture as it was taken with my phone under poor lighting). Have a great week ahead!

THE SCARF TOP

I always love a good blue. When I first saw this top, I fell in love with it. Not only because the color is so beautiful, it's so effortlessly classy as well. There's basically a scarf attached to the collar, and it's totally up to you how you want to wear it. No matter how you choose to wrap it around your neck, the look is still fluid and chic. For this look, I decided to keep the rest of my outfit in warm neutral colors, jazzing it up alittle with the studded heels. This is one look I believe will still look good a few years down the road, and hence the very pieces I'm happy to invest in. Have a great week ahead!

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!

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.

WATERCOLOR WRAP

In the final minutes before I had to hop on the very last airport express train that I can possibly take to make it for my flight from Hong Kong back to Singapore, I was desperately browsing through the racks of the Tsumori Chisato store in IFC. I found this lovely silk wrap-around top on the Further Discount rack, of which items are not allowed to be tried on by customers. Despite finding the rule absolutely ridiculous - I just don't see why customers cannot be permitted to try on clothing to see if they fit and look nice on them just because they are on further discounts - I decided to take the risk and purchase it anyway because I really love the colors. Luckily for me, the top fits pretty well. The green and blue strips on the translucent silk top reminds me of the watercolor drawings I used to do when I was a kid. The child-like cutesy prints of Tsumori Chisato's clothing is a lovely break from other serious clothing lines, not to mention the heavy use of cat motifs in her designs. Just in case you are wondering, cats are my favorite animal!

ORIENT ART

Red and blue are one of my favorite color combinations. This shantung silk looking top with its vibrant prints is an attention grabber. It also has a nice touch of sheen, which makes it look more luxurious. I've worn it with denim shorts, skinny pants, and this time, with a navy blue pencil skirt. I'll even wear it to bed, because it's as comfortable as pyjamas, except it will be such a waste to do so!
