Fall Essentials

 

 

 

 

 

Fall essentials: 

Parka (check)

Basic Knits (check)

Shorts (check)

Sneakers (check)

Of course there are other items which I deem fall worthy but I'll be focusing on these few items today! A parka is a definite must in everyone's wardrobe this rainy season because they're so versatile and comfy as well. Especially for tropical countries such as Singapore where a thin outerwear will keep you warm for the rainy season. For colder countries, layering will do the trick! 

Knits are also essential as well, especially plain, single coloured ones in my opinion! It's really so easy to change it up cause you can add a statement necklace, layer it, wear a jacket over etc. Printed knits are cute as well but it's really obvious when you wear it again. Not a problem if you're fine with that! In fact, printed knits are really super adorable but I prefer plain coloured ones to mix and match(:

Shorts and sneakers are a definite must too. I know the New Balance craze has been on for quite some time but they make really cute sneakers (plus it's comfy!). When I say shorts, it actually encompasses all kind of shorts; denim, tartan, plaid, skorts. I prefer shorts over skirts because the fall/winter season tends to have really strong wind and skirts are just inconvenient. Unless I'll be indoors most of the time or wearing a long coat over, I prefer shorts to skirts.

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(:

Prom; Capture Those Moments

It never fails to amaze me how fast time flies by. Just earlier this year, I was happily shopping for my prom dress and in a blink of an eye, MYEs, prelims, pre As, A levels are over and here I am, sitting on my bed in Hong Kong, looking through photos and blogging about the glitz and glamour of prom. I won't lie but as prom drew nearer, I got lazy for it hahaha. I was just anticipating for my trip to HK and nothing else seems to be able to raise the bar. Glad I went for prom still cause I had such a memorable night(:

Here are some photos with 2SR01! Couldn't have imagined JC without you guys. Yes, there were dramas now and then but then again, what class can be totally cohesive. In fact, it's quite scary if our class fits into that category cause we're all Arts students and you know, we tend to be more expressive in our words and actions. Love you guys to bits and thanks for being my friends!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some with my Shanghai buds. For being such lovely people throughout the trip and building a friendship beyond that trip.

 

 

 

And a few more with those whom I had the privilege of crossing paths with. Thanks for being who you are!

 

 

Last but not least, a huge gigantic hug for the JCJA clan. For being the best friends anyone can ever dream of having. All our differences somehow adds up and we complement each other so very well. I can't imagine JC without you guys and I know it's been less than a day since you guys left HK but I'm missing you alr!

Blogging all the way from Hong Kong! There's just something so calming about waking up with a cup of coffee in your hand and looking through photos that I'm not even dreaded by the amount of backlogs I have yet to complete hahaha.

Today's post features yet another tube dress. If I had to compare between this and the AFA one, I'd prefer the AFA one. This one is more structured with the waist band and flares. I prefer the AFA one because I like how the dress has no obvious waistband which allows it to hug your waist naturally then flare out. But anywho, this isn't a bad dress to own(:
