Streets of HK

Polka Dot and Stripes

 

 

I wouldn't call myself a sneakers kind of girl but there are definitely days where all I want to do is wear my sneakers out. And weirdly enough, I will think of an outfit that would go with a pair of sneakers. So instead of matching my shoes to my outfit, I match my outfit to my shoes.

Wearing a very basic crop top from Jenesyss (The Yang) which pretty much goes with everything. It's super stretchy as well which makes it extra comfy. Was feeling playful that day and decided to throw on my bunny ears headband (only I call it bunny ears but doesn't it remind you of it??) which coincidentally is black and white as well haha! A fuss free and comfy outfit for a day of exploring shop houses!

This set of photos have got to be my favourite from this trip! Heyse takes really nice photos and a huge thanks for helping snap these photos! (:

I was watching Running Man a few months ago when I saw a guest wearing an all white outfit and since then, I've been on the search for textured top and skirts. So I guess you can say that this outfit is very Korean inspired. Many of my friends thought that it's a dress/ 2 piece set but I actually got them from different shops! The skirt is from a long time ago from LB and I bought the top from AFA to go with it. Both textured, a perfect pairing.

And cause HK was freezing that day, it was time to bring out my thick coat and knee high boots! This coat is definitely my favourite because it's the perfect length and cutting. Coats really complete an outfit during the winter season and I always say it's a good decision to invest in a coat of good quality(:

Just to sidetrack a little but the sky turns dark really fast during the winter season?!?! The 6pm sky in HK is pretty much the 9pm one in Singapore. Talk about misleading!

Black Joggers and Slip Ons

Chanced upon this hidden corner when Heyse and I were lost in Mongkok. Not exactly lost but we were wandering around trying to follow Google Map. Travelling with your friend has got to be the best thing ever cause you can afford to get lost/wander and not panic haha!

I am so happy to have found the perfect pair of leather joggers! I got this pair from Topshop under the Petite section and it's really a lot more short. They do have the regular one as well but it looks really long. Probably for those above 1.65m. The problem with buying joggers is that you can't alter it so you really have to find the one with a perfect length for you. Check out Topshop is you want to get one!

And I can't help but smile/laugh/giggle over the pair of shoes I'm wearing. I got them from F21 in HK and they may look like normal loafers but they're actually slip ons. Think of a cross between flip flops and loafers. Heyse and I both bought it because it was so interesting! And of course, super convenient.  

As for my bag, I got it from Ete, I.T in HK as well! I.T is having a crazy sale and i got the bag at an insane discount! So much love for HK and I can't wait to explore it even more!

Smooch

 

 

 

 

Smooches for you <3

One rule that I go by is "sleeved or sleeveless". When I say sleeveless, I mean tube tops/dresses. It's really weird actually but if I wear this exact same dress with thin/spaghetti straps, I'd look a lot chubbier. It's not that hard to understand why; because thin straps cuts off your neck and arms. On the other hand, tube dress elongates your neck and shoulder/arms making you look slimmer. Most girls avoid tube dresses but just give it a try! You might like it even better. Just a little tip to share with you guys(:

This dress is just perfect, comes with anti slip bands and has the right amount of flare to it. A really simple one but it's just so flattering. Especially at the waist because of it's cutting. I was initially afraid of the dress falling and having to be all ninja and subtly (or not) pull up the dress which I find a major turn off btw. It's just so unglam when girls have to keep pulling up their tops and dresses and I really can't stand it. So I'm so glad to say that this dress gives no such problem at all! Stayed on really secure for the whole day which are mega plus points for it!

If you notice really closely, the flats I'm wearing have bunny ears on them! They're just so adorable and it makes me feel like I'm 10 wearing them hahaha. No blisters at all and I'm definitely bringing this pair to HK! I'll take a close up shot of it soon so check back here soon!

Prim and Proper

 

 

 

 

Was inspired by a photo I saw on Instagram by a French blogger and decided to go all prim and proper for a Dior event last Friday. This blouse says French/ Paris/ English all over and it's a perfect top for a day at a cafe drinking coffee or you know, to look really demure (even when you're not haha!)

Paired it with a midi to complete the prim and proper look cause mini skirts just wouldn't fit the part. I wore something similar before and funny enough, the top was from the same shop haha! I would have paired this top with a mint midi actually like the one in the other post but I sold it away (oops) and I'm glad to have another midi in my wardrobe. A blessing in disguise cause yellow is such a vibrant colour and it's that 'pop' you need in every outfit(:

Decided to wear my all time favourite nude heels to complete the look. Would have worn white ones but my comfy heels are the chunky ones which doesn't really fit in with the look I'm going for and the minimalist one that I have would have killed my feet after the event. So there you have it, an extra demure look for the day.

A miracle happened and I wore pants out! Recently I've been on a craze hunt for pants which is really unlike me. I only own 1 pair of jeans and they've been with me since sec 2 haha! There's just smth about PJ pants that has always captured my attention. I guess it's just cause they look so comfy and the idea of lazing around clicks with me.

Decided to try on this pair when I saw it cause it's cropped! Normally, pants tend to be too long for me and I rarely come across cropped PJ pants. So glad that I tried cause they fit perfectly! Got this pair from Cotton On for only $19+ for those interested! Cheap thrills hehe. Haven't shopped from Cotton On for more than a year actually!

Paired it with the highly raved AFA Campbell Tee Top which has finally arrived from BO! The problem with BOs is that they take such a long time to arrive and usually, I'd have forgotten what I got by then #confession haha! Still glad I joined the BO cause this is a really good basic to own! It features a key hole back button for easy wearing.

Went for a monochrome kind of look so I chose black and white accessories as well. So how do I look in pants? Haha! Thinking of buying more PJ pants now!
