A SPLASH OF LEMONADE

This is exactly what this dress and blazer combo reminds me - a splash of refreshing lemonade in the summertime! I love the soft yellow color of this dress, in a very simple cut but with a slight tinge of sexiness. It's perfect for those cocktail or dinner dates where you want to make an impression but not come across as trying too hard. To make it work appropriate, I throw on a white blazer in a similar silk crepe material to keep the whole look light and chirpy. I hope this look brightens up your day!

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!

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!

WHEN VIOLET AND LIME COLLIDE

What do you do to keep yourself warm in a cold office? Like lots of other women, I leave a neutral color sweater and shawl on my seat for chilly days. I must admit though, the sweater and shawl are not exactly the most beautiful items I have. They're just there for practical reasons with aesthetics much lower down on the list. When I first saw this jacket, I knew I need it. It is of a longer length compared to my usual jackets, and the violet color is an interesting addition to my wardrobe. I also love the draping and cuff details on the sleeves. It's one of those items that you can simply throw over your existing outfit and immediately add more style and attitude to it. Now I can keep warm and look good at the same time!
