BLACK MOHAIR | OOTD

17:29 B 34 Comments

I've always been a fan of the faux mohair jumpers and cardigans.  They have that unusual look and texture that I like, plus they're very soft and comfortable to wear on a regular basis.  Last year, I bought a v-neck mohair jumper from Topshop, and to be honest with you, I worn it twice since I bought it.  The problem wasn't the fact that my mum mistaken it as a rug and thought I looked like a 'walking-grass' (because it was green/yellowish), but it turned out to be quite big for me.  I always feel like mohair jumpers are more difficult to wear on it's own (especially when they're v-neck) as the weight kind of drags it down and the only way I can describe the material is like a cheap-knitted winter scarf.  I constantly had to pull it up, so it put me off from wearing it.  Luckily, I've found a solution to that problem… Wear another top such as a shirt, blouse or even a turtle neck jumper underneath.  By doing it that way, you can dress it up by adding layers of necklaces or wear a scarf, then nobody will know that your jumper was too big for you!
I got this faux mohair cardigan from Primark, it is surprisingly warm and is stretchy enough incase I do want to wear a thick layer underneath.  Personally, I'd wear it as a jacket because it does look rather fancy as a cardigan.  But I wouldn't recommend wearing this as a coat when it's really cold, unless you know you won't be outside for too long.  It's just another great item to have this season if you're looking to spice up an outfit.  It may not be everyone's cup of tea but you really don't need to over-spend on something you're not sure about.  As long as the quality is good, you look and feel good in it, then your money is well-spent.  And it's black, you can't really go wrong with that!

DEAR FRANCES SS15

17:59 B 6 Comments

Minimalist.  Sophisticated.  Luxury.  Modern.
These are the four words I'd use to describe this collection.
Ever since I returned home from fashion week, I've been dreaming constantly about Dear Frances spring/summer '15 collection, Girl Of My Dreams.  Each designs are combined with see-through glass and mesh fabric, so in my opinion they are super trendy.  I love these clog shoes, as they bring back so much memories of when I was younger.  When I was a little girl, I often witnessed my mother who worn simple designed shoes such as clogs, masculine-looking sandals and black leather trainers - very similar designs to Dear Frances latest collection as well!  I never understood why she said they were pretty and comfortable.  Until now that I'm a lot older, I realised that sometimes simple things can be the best things in life!  I absolutely adore the use of sharp cuts, bold designs and the simplest tones of colour such as black, white, pastel pink and gold.  They're stylish, modern, but most importantly they're super light-weight!  So, if you prefer to travel by foot, whether it's short or long-distance, or stays on your feet all day (I do most of them daily, sigh) then a pair of light-weight shoes is always handy to have.
It was very lovely to meet Jane Frances (designer), we chatted about the background of this brand, and she was a really friendly (and smiley) person as well, which is always a bonus!  I got so carried away with these gorgeous shoes, it was such a pleasure to have Jane introducing each designs to me in person.  And oh, thank you so much Jane for the lovely catalogue, I've been flicking through them every day!

LFW STREET STYLE SS15

14:25 B 3 Comments

This season at London Fashion Week has got to be one of my best seasons yet!  I've been extremely busy running round all over the city and was on my feet most of the time.  On day one, I carried an extra pair of heels in my handbag, and gosh, it was the worst decision ever!  I had so many things with me that day including my organiser, camera (which is massive), make-up bag and even a bottle of water.  The problem wasn't just the weight, but the fact that I didn't even change into my heels when I was out.  I ditched them for flats, which later turned out that my foot was bleeding from them anyway (all the running and rushing around etc.) - I just couldn't win!
I've met so many lovely people including the queen of pastel, Charlotte Fisher <3 It has been another inspirational season and I'm always very grateful for being able to experience that!

CONTEMPORARY MEETS HISTORICAL | OOTD

15:11 B 11 Comments


I admit that I am a modern sort of person, and I love that!  I enjoy the 'slide to unlock' and being able to keep my friends and family updated about where I am and teasing them with food pics through one device.  Fashion, art and music are three of the most influential elements of my life.  I would always have my music on loud when I get ready, and usually wear what I feel depending on my mood that day.  Obviously, I haven't dyed my hair to a crazy colour, and I don't really have a strict style to how I dress either.  I think it's fun to try new styles/looks, but leather is definitely one of my favourites! 
Personally, I think trousers are super comfortable and practical.  I can do whatever without having to worry about my butt showing when it's windy.  So last summer I've said my farewells to those flawy (and rather short) pretty-looking skirts I used to wear.  Anyway, you wouldn't believe how long I've been searching for a nice pair of leather trousers.  It got to the point where I given up looking for one because it has been so difficult trying to find one that fits me properly.  Luckily, when I was in Paris I found a great pair and the length is perfect!  It's definitely one of the most comfortable leather trousers I've ever tried on!

PARISIAN STREETS | OOTD

15:21 B 10 Comments


It's a fact that the French are the king and queen of minimalism. 
From their hair all the way down to their toes, you'd often find that they are very well-groomed and look effortlessly polished.  They are often spotted with sharp tailored clothing with minimal wear of jewellery.  But don't expect to see lots of crazy pastel hair either, they're not so popular there.  I always feel that they don't follow the trends, but they set them.  I noticed that a lot of people (including fashion bloggers) are becoming more interested in the minimalist style recently.  I have days like that too, when I want to look laid back or too busy (or lazy) to decide which necklaces I should layer up that day.  But I do have a great love for prints and colours, so when I can't make a decision on which look to go for I just mix a hint of everything together!  
IN THIS OUTFIT:
SHIRT/BLOUSE - PRIMARK 
SUNGLASSES - VINTAGE

SHORT ESCAPE TO PARIS

16:46 B 6 Comments

Last week, I reunited with a lovely friend who flew all the way to Europe from Australia.  We don't get to see each other very often, so we took great advantage of this opportunity and jumped on the Eurostar to Paris for a few days.  The last time I visited Paris was two years ago, which I never had the chance to live and see the city like the locals either, as I'd usually stay at hotels and dine at restaurants when I'm on holiday.  This trip was different.  But it was an successful one.
Me and my friend decided to rent a gorgeous apartment in the heart of Paris (when I say gorgeous, I mean it) where most of the furnitures were DIY and hand-painted.  I love that each pieces were individual as they were supposed to look unfinished - The lovely owner did an amazing job, it was such an artistic place I've ever stayed at!  Anyway, we avoided main attractions as we didn't want to blend in with the other tourists, hung out at local places and travelled through the Parisian streets by foot.  I absolutely adore the French's architects; gold details with romantic patterns sculpt into the stones… They were so heavenly!  I felt super inspired throughout my trip, and often took photographs of what I lived through at that moment.  Although, taking photos of food just because 'they look delicious' is acceptable too - I do that quite regularly!  The French are experts at making pastries and cakes, so every time I walked passed a patisserie, it's a must to stop and fantasied about eating what were shown on the counter!

SUMMER FESTIVAL OOTD | Sponsored: IKRUSH

17:04 B 12 Comments

I know that a lot of people who has been or still waiting to go to a music festival this season.  I've never been to one myself but always wanted to (especially in America), so next year I might give it a go!  The thought of putting up a tent (which I can't do), unpacking snacks and tons of drinks excites me!
When I received this gorgeous Adali floral set from ikrush, I suddenly thought of festivals and boho girls, you know… The ones wearing headbands, dream catcher necklaces, tassels and so on.  An idea popped into my head, so that's why I came up with this look.  Not because I was going to a festival this summer or anything, just because I got inspired!  I received this set a few weeks ago but I've just recovered from being ill so I didn't have a chance to shoot this look until yesterday (thanks to my boyfriend who took these lovely photos for me).  The good thing is that this set is currently on sale (click here), the colour is vibrant, material is soft and stretchy, but I really wish they could come in a size S (the sizing are S/M or M/L only) as the top is too big for me but the skirt fits perfectly!
IN THIS OUTFIT: 

TOP & SKIRT - IKRUSH
HEADBAND - PRIMARK
SUNGLASSES - PRIMARK
CARDIGAN - MISS SELFRIDGE

Have a lovely day,
and let me know if you're planning on going to a festival?

Handmade Burger

15:30 B 9 Comments

I'M BACK!  I'm really excited to be back on the blog.  I've just finished university - Fingers crossed I will be a graduate soon once the results are out!  So I'm excited (and a bit nervous at the same time) to start the next chapter of my life!
I'm currently trying to save up for my upcoming trips this summer, so hopefully I will be able to share more outfit posts along with my travels again this year.  I absolutely adore Paris, so without doubt I'll end up there for a visit at some point!  Along with a trip to Thailand - that will definitely happen.  To be honest, there are so many places in the world that I would love to visit.  I know that many people would say the same thing, but for me the main reasons I want to travel is to see/experience the uniqueness of the culture, art and fashion!  These elements has always been huge interests of mine.
Anyway, the weather has been really hot and sunny in the UK, so a few days ago me and my boyfriend went out for a meal at Handmade Burger, and because I was really hungry (and brave) I decided to order a burger.  I haven't had a burger from this restaurant for quite a long time so I actually forgotten how big each portions were.  I went ahead and ordered a 'peppered beef' burger because it sounded amazing and it was new on the menu.  Have you ever felt like you were so important just because you ordered something new off the menu?  That's me!  Always!  I get super excited every time my food arrives on the table!
Peppered Beef - Tasted delicious! The beef patty was marinated so the flavour was really strong but balanced out well with other ingredients! I would recommend this to those who is a fan of peppery flavouring and spice. 
My boyfriend had Macho Barbecue beef cheese & bacon, also new and the biggest burger on the menu.  He said it was really good, so I believed him as he finished the whole thing!
We shared a portion of cajun seasoned chips between us.  That was delicious as well, but we couldn't finish it as our burgers were already so heavy! 
Let me know if you're having a burger today!? ;)
See you on the next post!
