Winter Grey

 

 

 

First outfit post taking in HK! HK's weather is quite erratic and the temperature varies day by day. Just 2 days ago, it was 23 degrees and today, it's around 15 degrees. Took the chance to wear my midi out with a thin knit on the bright, sunny day 2 days ago cause I didn't want to wear a jacket with it.

I have had this outfit in my mind since the day I bought these items. Everything on me is new actually and I was saving them for this trip! What I love about the top is definitely the collar bit cause it makes it ultra preppy and adorable. Perfect with a white midi(:

Anywho just to share a little on the purpose of my trip to HK. The very first week was spent with a group of closest friends of mine in HK, bringing them around places and being all tourist. It's actually a first for me travelling around HK on tourist mode cause I'm usually with my family who knows where they want to go. I really enjoyed the past 7 days, getting lost and having to ask people for directions. I've met so many kind ppl along the way and it's really an eye opener. Well my friends have left alr and I'm gng to explore HK alone which is super exciting!! All the way till 22nd dec when Vanessa comes to HK and joins me in my mini exploration(:

I'm so glad it finally rained during the weekends! I rmb waking up, hearing the pitter patter against the window and then hugging Glitter who conveniently happened to be sleeping next to me. Beautiful way to start my Sunday(:

Instead of my usual knit which I would wear when it rains, I decided to change my style a little and dug out this bandage skirt that's been hiding in my closet. I'm not a huge fan of bandage skirts cause I always feel that they make my legs look shorter but this one was just too pretty to give a miss. It's made of a suede material so it's really comfy and nice to touch haha!

Paired it with a denim blouse cause I wanted smth that could keep me warm that rainy day. Funny story behind this set of photos. As you can see, it was taken along Orchard Road and it was really, really crowded. But being the shameless ppl we were, my sister and I went to take ootds there like there's no one around haha! We were getting stares but it's ok, we just pretended to be tourist haha!

Well a funny observation but if you've bee keeping track of the type of clothes I wear, you'd notice that my style kind of changed. It's just a coincidence that it happened right after I got bangs so one of my friend actually texted me "eh you change hairstyle then change dressing style also ah?" Haha that was really observant of him and thought that that was funny to share with you guys.

Christmas Flare

 

 

 

 

For all those who don't know yet, Christmas is my absolute favourite season of the year! Christmas buffets, gathering, presents (even gift shopping) are just so much fun! The only thing lacking in Singapore is the cold weather. Christmas just doesn't feel complete without the cold wind or even snow! My idea of a perfect Christmas is one in a winter country with my loved one, sipping on Coffee with Christmas songs playing in the background and preferably a fireplace somewhere near. I'm still waiting for the day where I'll be able to experience a white Christmas(: 

One of the outfits I planned for Shanghai was Christmas themed. It just seemed closest to my idea of a perfect Christmas because of the cold weather. In fact, I actually bought this dress because of the Christmas spirit it gave me. I mean just look at the design of the dress. How much more Christmas-y can it get? Checkered, red, green. Of course I couldn't wear it alone cause of the cold weather so I wore a denim shirt inside. The idea of layering is smth really in right now and it's very common to see mannequins in shops such as F21, Stradivarius, Bershks etc. having layers of clothes. Although it might not be suitable for the temperature in Singapore, it'll definitely come in handy during the rainy days.

Paired it with my ultimate favourite trench coat. I got it in the beginning of the year for CNY in Hong Kong but I only had the chance to wear it for a short 2 days so I'm really glad this trip to Shanghai finally gave me the chance to get it out of my luggage in the storeroom. Just a really random thought but does anyone else think that I looked like a Japanese P5 school girl? Hahaha! This set of photos were taking at Mahota Farm, which I will blog about in the coming days, and it served as such a nice backdrop! The sun was shining bright that day and Jo and I managed to find some free time to take these photos. Huge thanks to Jo for being my photographer throughout the trip! (:

Been studying History for the past 4h and my head is about to explode. So much facts stored in there hahaha! But I'll nvr hate studying History cause I really love the subject and I actually enjoy the process of studying it. Sounds really nerdy but History is actually interesting :D

Well we all need a break right? I've reached the point where I know I won't be able to memorise anything so I might as well stop studying. Thought it would be nice and relaxing to blog while listening to music. Really random but I've been listening to a lot of Chinese songs and my sister was making fun of me. She said why are you only listening to JJ now when everyone was listening 5 years back? HAHAHA!

Ok back to this post. I'm really way too tired to write much so I thought I'd do more of a picture kind of post. I've recently realised that I wear A LOT of blue and white. It isn't on purpose but I just somehow tend to end up wearing blue, white, or even both tgt! I'm going to feature those photos here. Some might have been blogged before and I honestly am not sure how many photos there are. I'm just going to hop on over to my instagram and find photos of me in those colours.

I'm not going to write where I bought my accessories and shoes from. It's going to take forever if I do so but you can drop a comment if you want to know! (:
