pastel

This light-colored combo is great for a hot day. 

Pairing this mint top with chambray is sort of an experiment. (I tend to gravitate to darker pairings with the chambray.)

 

To balance out the pastel shades, I paired with my studded gladiator sandals. 

I was wearing: Pullover and sandals from H&M, Cotton On shorts. 

braided

Tried something new with my hair (which is desperate need of a perming. :( )

 
Love going for simple outfits like this whenever I'm feeling lazy. A simple top paired with a great fitting pants can't go wrong. 

I was wearing: Printed tank from H&M, Mossimo skinny cargo pants (USA), Charles & Keith court shoes.

birthday wishlist

My birthday is coming up pretty soon and since I have already gifted myself something cool and have dropped some cash at the Zara sale (I just couldn't resist! So many awesome pieces from last season. I will show you soon!) last weekend, my birthday wishlist is actually very short and simple.

Aside from a good, ole, dependable bag, I am in love with this new fragrance from Guerlain. Became interested when I noticed the graphic - I love it! When the fragrance launched in Takashimaya, they were handing out small vials for free. When it comes to fragrance, I have a sensitive nose and a super strong one gives me a headache. But this has a very light floral scent.

the haze

You might have heard of the nasty haze that enveloped the usually pollution-free Singapore a few weeks ago. During this time, the Pollution Standard Index (PSI) hit 400, the highest ever in years. For context, Singapore's normal PSI is in the 40s. 

Dressing during this time is the last thing in my mind because there was this constant feeling of a black film of dust enveloping you. The haze also caused nose & eye irritation (among other things). An N95 mask became the fashion it item. :P

I ran out of the N95 so I had to make-do with this surgical mask. 

 

But, you know, it's ~safe indoors. :)

 

Love the print on this oversized tee found at the Cotton On sale rack for $10!

I was wearing: Stradivarius printed leggings, Cotton On tee, ankle boots from Bershka.
