Wild West

Going to theme parks during winter means it's a must to wear jeans cause it's just so much more convenient and you won't end up freezing when on roller coasters. Which is why I actually bought a pair just before I flew off to Gold Coast. If you don't know, I'm not a huge fan of jeans cause they're almost impossible to wear in sunny Singapore and I feel really constrained in them. Plus it's harder to find the right pair of jeans for petite girls (as all my other petite friends agree) and so I was kind of skeptical about getting them but I had no choice so oh well.

Let's Talk About Stripes

 

 

 

For some weird reason, I've been into stripes lately. I know they've been the in thing about 2 months back but hey, I guess it's never too late to jump onto the bandwagon right?

So I stole this top from my sister's wardrobe (but she always wear my tops too so it's fine hehe) and it's a little big for me. It's a Euro 36 and I'm a usual 34 but it didn't really bother me that much cause it complements the casual, breezy look I was going for.

 

And yet another striped outfit.

Got this cute matching 2 piece set and I absolutely couldn't wait to wear it out! This is definitely a much better alternative to a romper cause you don't have to go through the trouble of removing everything when you go to the washroom hahaha #truestory. And I got them at a really good deal as well at Bugis Street. Bugis Street is like the best place to get mass manufactured stuff?!

PS. I actually wore another stripe top today which makes it 3 times in a week but let's save that for another time. 

 

Just to prove that I really did wear one haha!

Put A Bow On It

You know how on certain days, you're just in the zone? Well the day this set of photos was taken, it wasn't that kind of day which explains the lack of photos. Van and I were walking outside Grand Hyatt HK and didn't really feel inspired by anything much and so we decided to just snap a few shots and leave. In fact, it went on for the whole day cause luck wasn't on our side when we went to Lan Kwai Fung and entered probably the worse bar possible.

But I thought I'd still share these photos cause I really like the colour tones of the outfit. I know I say that I don't really like wearing pink but this skirt comes in pastel pink which is so hard to resist! It's really rather princess ish and perfect for tea that day. Oh and check out my new kicks which I got from IT! Funnily enough, I entered IT cause they were having a major sale but the only thing I bought was something at its original price. Oh well, still got it anw cause a bow makes everything better (:

Street Style

You'd probably judge me if I told you how this outfit came about but I'm gona share anw hehe. I bought this scarf from HnM in HK on the very first day that I arrived cause it was on sale and well, who can resist a sale? I bought it thinking that it might go well with a plain dress but then I changed my mind because I figured I'd looked too 'pulled down'. One thing about being petite is that you don't want to wear clothes that would make you look shorter than you alr are. Wearing a super chunky scarf with a dress has that effect, especially if you have a longer torso than legs (like me)

Being the stubborn person that I am, I just wanted to wear the scarf cause I thought it was pretty. So the way to solve it is to go with tight jeans. And you can't wear it with anything else that is bulky (like a bulky coat) cause you'll just look really heavy. Which explains why I wore my leather jacket to go with it. So yes, while being petite means you are don't have the liberty of experimenting with all kinds of style, it doesn't mean it should stop you. In fact, I kind of like this look!

Leather Black

For many many reasons, I can see Jolene wearing this outfit.

1. Black is her colour

2. Wearing a collared top with skater skirt was her thing in HK

3. The boots screams Jolene 

Hahaha I guess staying tgt for 7 days means that her style slowly starts to rub off me. (Are you reading this Jo!)

Well anywho, this isn't really my style but you guys know I like to try new things. I bought this skirt during the Fsupermarket launch at a really good deal of $12. Hint hint. Time to check them out if you're looking for great steals! 

Oh and the boots are definitely one of my favourite buy in HK! Wearing boots during the winter season is just so amazing. I normally go for the fury kind and not those with zips cause zips are a lot more towards the edgy side. Side note but I actually wanted to buy a pair of plain black fur boots from HnM until I saw this! Since I alr own grey and brown fury boots, thought I might as well go for something way edgier. Hence, this pair. Did I mention that they were on sale? Hehe got them for $34!

No prizes for guessing which day I wore this outfit! A little late but merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone had a fun time meeting up with friends and family and having a good meal(:

I couldn't help but bring a little Jenesyss to me to HK. I actually told my sister I'd be bringing this skirt along with me a month before this trip. The colour is just so bright and vibrant (perfect for Christmas!) The black leather waistband and thick material makes it a superb midi for the winter season. It's currently still available and you can check out their web for more details!

I initially wanted to wear this midi with a leather jacket but because I wore the leather jacket exactly a day before, I didn't really want to rewear it again so soon. That's when I decided to take the risk and not bring a jacket out. Luckily for me, the sun was out the whole day and HK was a good 20 degrees(: Layering did the trick!

And I can't help but swoon over my set of nails. I got it done here in HK, a few days before Christmas! Everything is hand drawn (yes, including Snoopy) and it took about 2h to do it. So worth the wait cause I keep getting praises for it and I can't help but feel really happy looking at it (:

Hong Kong has been getting colder these few days. It's so rare that the temperature drops to single digits so early this year. So it's time to bring out them jeans, boots, beanies and to do tons of layering!

I wore this outfit for my day trip to China to visit my relatives. I knew I was going to go strawberry picking (one of my niece's favourite thing to do) and so I decided to use this pair of boots. Perfect for stepping onto the field and getting mud all over haha! A very good buy cause HnM was having a sale and I got this at half price off! ($200 HKD, $34 SGD) Say whaaaaaaat
