rock and roll lifestyle

Paired my new gray boyfriend denim with a black tee. The look turned very rock and roll:


When wearing a boyfriend/baggy pair of jeans, for footwear, I always resort to a classic pointy pumps. It's a perfect counterpoint to the loose vibe of the jeans.



For details, I kept things relaxed and loose with my favorite partial tuck. 



Shana has great rock and roll style tees like this one.

I am wearing: Tee from Shana, Uniqlo men's jeans, court shoes from Charles & Keith.

just in: cold weather

Great news! I'm going to my much-awaited holiday in 2 weeks. I'm going somewhere colder so I picked up this parka and this beanie (on sale at $5!) at H&M.

Since I'm into camo these days and I love utilitarian pieces, I opted for this parka instead of a wool coat. On the practical side, living in sunny Singapore, I have more opportunities to re-use the parka than a wool coat. 



Now planning my Winter Lookbook where I will re-purpose my light, Singapore-appropriate clothing and mix in these colder weather pieces and will depend a lot on layering. 

casual friday

Another casual Friday look. Button-down +shorts + court shoes is definitely my favorite casual combo.


Pairing with a button-down and a pair of dressy shoes makes this pair of denim shorts from getting too shabby.



Did my favorite half-tuck for a more interesting look.

i wear sunglasses at night

I don't. And with the current monsoon weather we have in Singapore, I hardly get to wear my sunglasses at all. 

But I did pick up these new black frames at H&M Men's at a budget-friendly price of $7.90. 
The pair in the middle is a foldable tortoise-shell style also from H&M and the yellow frames are a fun twist to the classic wayfarer from Rayban. 

camo

I'm in love with the camo trend. Great piece for a tough girl chic look. :)

 
I'm in love with this camo pullover that I found at Shana (at a great price too at $29!). Went casual paired with my denim cut-offs and sandal wedges.


Bootcamp ready!


To dress it up, I accessorized with this silver statement necklace.

Guess who else is enjoying the camo trend:


Little Charlie is wearing his brand new camo shorts. 

On me: Camo pullover from Shana, denim cut-offs from Greenhills (Manila), Sapato Manila wedges, accessories from Forever 21.
On Charlie: Build A Bear camo shorts and tee. 

just in: Christmas sale
