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!

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!

INKED KOI



The prints on this top reminds me of Japanese Koi tattoos frequently spotted on the Yakuza - stunning, breathtaking, intricate artwork inked on the human body. You won't find Koi fish tattoos on me, but I'm more than happy to wear this top with it's beautiful prints and edgy elegance. It's an extremely easy top to wear, and this time I chose to pair it with a slightly structural skirt to contrast with the softness of the top. Surely a keeper for many years to come!

DANCE WITH THE TIGERS



I love Kenzo's recent collections and managed to pick something up on my recent trip to Paris. Look once, it's a light and airy blouse with tiger prints. Look twice, and you'll notice that whilst the front is a beige color, the back is navy blue. Look again, and you'll find that the tigers form the word Kenzo! I simply love this blouse, which is such a versatile and fun piece that can not only be worn to work, but at the weekends as well. For the office, I paired it with a black laced pencil skirt. Have a roaring week!
