just in: ankle booties

A few posts ago, I told you about the Dicker boots-style ankle boots that I was craving for. Well last weekend, I was out window-shopping when I decided to check out Bershka. I always passed by the store on the way to Zara or Pull & Bear in Ion Orchard, but never really bother to drop in. 

Good thing I did cause hidden in the busy racks is this perfect pair of Dicker-inspired ankle booties.





Love the color, love the manageable heels, love everything about it! Will go perfectly with denim shorts, loose summer dresses and skinny jeans!

summer dress

I've searched far and wide for the perfect white summer dress and finally found the perfect one from Zara at 50% off! 


I've been dreaming of styling the perfect white dress like this - paired with my utility vest. I love the contrast that this mix creates. 


A vest also streamlines the silhouette of the dress as well. 



Without the vest, this outfit ooks like a boring tai-tai look. 

I was wearing: Zara dress, utility vest from Liz Claiborne, Charles & Keith court shoes, belt from Uniqlo.

on my nails

I'm lovin' painting my nails lately. Here are my favorite colors:





I always go to the Korean brand Skin Food if I want fun, girly colors. Love this light pink/salmon shade and that hot pink shade. The tangerine shade from Revlon works best for earthy, music festival looks. 



The red from Revlon is a classic while the gold tone is a fun, evening shade (which looks silver-ish in sunlight). The gray from OPI is a new one I picked up and the color that  I am wearing at the moment. It turned out more light purple than gray but looks nice and dainty. 

sporty chic

My take on the sporty chic trend. Actually, this is not my first attempt with this trend. 


The idea of this trend is to mix in a sporty uniform like this pair of sweats and mix in with a dressier top and accessories.


I think next time, I'll wear my structured black top or pair with my denim vest and a higher heel. 


I love the zipper details at the bottom. 

I was wearing: button-down shirt from Cotton On, Uniqlo x Velvet sweat pants, Charles & Keith shoes.

craving: ankle boots

Been craving for a Dicker-inspired ankle boots for awhile now. Saw this pair on Asos.

Miss KG ankle boots at $152.11 and free shipping for Singapore.
Perfect with skinny jeans, or worn with this dress, or even with a pair of denim shorts during the weekends. I have to save up for this! :D

just in: august

Here are some new things for August. 



Birthday gifts from Cuz. I have the exact look in mind for this eagle tee and I can't wait to show that look to you! And that fuschia top is a great color especially to color-block with. 


Daria oversized tee from my cousin, Mark. Love it! Perfect with my indigo skirt.


Floral shirt from Stradivarius marked down from $79 to $19.90!
I love the colors and thoughtful details like the solid blue cuffs and collar that reminds me of a Japanese costume. This was the last piece left and it was in my size! It was meant to be. 

nautical

Bought this striped tee a long time ago from H&M's men's. Finally got the chance to wear it!


The striped navy is begging for a nautical look. So paired with my red skinny pants.


The tee almost looks like a women's blousy top and I'm super in love with it. 
Finished off the look with my black TOMS. 
All I need is a yacht and I'm ready to head off! ;P


Navy + red is such a great combo! 


BTW, today is Singapore's National Day. Happy 47th birthday, Singapore!


I was wearing: Forever 21 skinny jeans, striped men's tee from H&M, Uniqlo belt, shoes from TOMS.

trend: camo

It seems camo is the upcoming trend for fall 2012. Already I've been seeing more and more of these in-stores. Like this embellished camo jacket from Zara:




Style Copycat has put together some of the latest camo looks from the streets. My personal favorite are the men's camo shorts. Love when paired with the more formal blazer and sandals. Now kicking myself for not picking up the camo shorts from Cotton On men's a couple of months back. But I am sure we will see more this trend. 

just in: july

Back in February, I told you my search for the perfect white dress - dainty with lace details that recalls hot summer nights. These are my criteria. Boy, I have looked far and wide and always went home empty-handed.


Last night, I was killing time before dinner and dropped by Zara and saw this on the sale racks!





Exactly what I had in mind - something casual and girly. 


Check out the details along the hem.


This dress will go perfectly on warm and casual days paired with my gladiator sandals or mix and match with my utility jacket. 
From Zara marked down at $39




Saw these sweats a few weeks ago when I checked out the opening of the new Uniqlo store in Bugis+. I like the pleating on top and...




the zippered bottoms.
It would be a good pair to get back in on the sporty chic trend. Paired with stiletto heels and a dressier top to pull off the trend. 
From Uniqlo marked down at $19.90

back to basics

Picked up this striped top from my shopping spree at Manila's Divisoria back in December and haven't had the chance to wear it yet. 




For my first look with this top, I decided to keep things simple and match with my dark pair of skinny denims. Sometimes nothing beats going back to simple basics. 




The simple outfit was begging to be accessorized. Wore my silver choker.





I was wearing: striped top from Divisoria (Manila), jeggings from Mossimo at Target, H&M choker, Charles & Keith court shoes.
