OOTD

Sharing some accessories that I am loving lately. I would say that my style is towards classic, but I love adding some fun and trendy elements to make the outfit look more modern and younger. This season I am totally sold on the strappy sandal look and the cat eye sunnies. It is still winter in Australia and I couldn’t wait and ordered my first pair of sandals from the new season. They are by Dorateymur which is a very popular IT shoe designer brand from Korea. The style is so chic and the chunky heels make the pair easier to wear. I bought them in my normal size and they feel a bit tight when my feet get swollen in the heat. So I would suggest you go at least half a size up for this style if you plan to wear them in the summer.

My second obsession is the narrow cat eye sunglasses. I recently just got my second pair and this particular model from Le Specs The Last Lolita tends to sell out everywhere. I have been wearing the over-sized sunnies for many years, so it does take some courage to transition to the narrow eye look. The same transition experience you would have from ditching your skinny jeans to mommy jeans. Once you find the right pair, they add a totally different vibe to the outfit and gives you a more up-to-date look.

My other pair Pared Eyewear Petit Amour is from an Australian label which I absolutely adore and they go well with every outfit. It still has the slim look with a more rectangle cat eye shape, so between the two pairs, I would say the Petit Armour is easier and more flattering to wear on most face shapes.

All Black

February 28, 2018

Just sharing a simple all black outfit that I adore lately. The satin oversized black top is from the latest Uniqlo U collection which is the most exciting collection that I anticipate every year. Everything is affordable, super chic and good quality. I bought so many pieces from the collection this year and they tend to sell out really fast. The pants are from ALC – it’s their most classic and iconic pants such that every time I wear them out, I have girls stopping me on the street to ask where I got them from! I bought it on Shopbop which is currently on sale with up to 25% off with code GOBIG18! The black mules with satin bows are from The Row. This is my first pair of shoes from the brand and I can sense there is a new brand addition coming up!

Club Monaco

December 28, 2017

I received a lot of questions about this top so I thought I’d share it on my blog because it is currently on sale for under $50! It’s from one of my favorite affordable brands called Club Monaco and every season they never fail to deliver some great trendy but not-over-the-top pieces of decent quality (much better than Zara and Topshop).  You can find the brand on Shopbop, Neiman Marcus, or from their website directly which ships worldwide for free. On a side note, Shopbop is having the additional 25% off on all sale items with code JOY25,I have just added this pair of boots to my shopping cart…yay!

Holiday Party Look

December 18, 2017

I received a lot of compliments on this beautiful angelic Manning Cartell dress when I wore it to a recent Christmas party, so I thought I’d share this party look here. It was love at first sight with this dress albeit the price was slightly hefty based on the “cost per wear” as I bought it at full price. It is currently on sale in both the lavender and dark navy color. The material is made of pure silk chiffon, so the whole dress is so delicate and flowy, and fits just right on the body without being too tight nor too oversized. I am wearing size 8 which still fits quite generously on me with plenty of room. For the accessory, I found a pair of Dolce & Gabbana floral earrings that matched the dress perfectly.

The Perfect White Dress

November 22, 2017

I am always on the lookout for the most beautiful versatile white dresses! My Zimmerman dress that I bought earlier this year has earned a lot of compliments and I get many wears out of it.  The Ulla Johnson Dress (currently on sale on Shopbop!) is my recent addition – it is made of cotton so it is great for both casual and evening wear and it gives a relaxing and effortless vibe to it. The ruffled collar and the balloon sleeves are very on trend, and instantly gives an updated modern silhouette. Pairing it with my go-to Schutz Cadey Lee Sandals which are budget-friendly, and a pair of Oscar de la Renta earrings.

This season my favorite trend has to be the plaid and checks. They are easy to wear, and you can easily incorporate them with the basic items that you already have in your wardrobe for an elevated look. Rounding up some looks that I have worn over the past few months. The Sandro-Paris blazer and the Maje Houndstooth skirt are my absolute best buys this season, as I have been literally living in them and they go with everything.

September 26, 2017

The long-awaited Shopbop Big Sale Event has begun again for 3 days only (offer ends on the 29th Sep). Use code EOTS17 for early access for discount up to 25% off on all orders! In this ootd, I am wearing the ALC Kyle Pants that I bought from Shopbop a while back and I am totally loving the style and fit. It has a slim fit with legs slightly cropped, and the high waist with the lace-up closure gives a corset effect for an hourglass silhouette. It’s super chic, unique, and goes with everything.
