Teen Vogue Best Dressed Reader Of The Day

Hahaha, I was apparently the best dressed reader of the day for the 8th of February but I never knew till today!! And this is embarrassing but I googled myself to see if my twitter or if this blog appeared and I came across this! So yeah, it was a rather pleasant surprise. :) 

Sorry for the lack of updates, been too busy at work. 

Messy And I Know It

(Tribal maxi from Hurs/ Headband worn as a bracelet from Diva/ Rayban shades/ Slippers from Ripcurl/ Leather sling bag from a flea market/ DIY Feather hairpiece ) 

Today I learned an important lesson, that I'm messy and sometimes probably am too overenthusiastic. Take for example, my outfit today had a lot going on with the tribal prints. On hindsight, I should have carried a simpler bag, oh well, I left it in the car anyway. 

Among all the maxis that I own, this has to be the freakiest one. I thought it was really ugly at first but somehow it just grew on me hahah. Unlike other maxis, this one has to be tied at the back so in a way, I will never be too fat for it even if I were to be 9 months pregnant! 

This feather hairpiece is something I made the night before and was really excited to wear it out this afternoon! Throughout the day, I was so afraid someone would just yank it out for a joke. What do you think? 

Celebrity Style Crush

If there was anyone I absolutely adore and idolize, it's Vanessa Hudgens. To me, she can do no wrong especially when she dresses up (her "slack" outfits are so argh sometimes). She's my number 1 source of inspiration especially when I'm looking to wear something casual yet chic. 

Vanessa has that hippie bohemian style going on, which is something I try to incorporate into my style often as I identify myself as a free spirit as well. 

I've been awestruck by her beauty since HSM1, and from then on I've been following her closely. I'm still waiting for my hair to grow so I can get those gorgeous loose waves like hers. 

Will always love you Vanessa!

Laneway Festival 2012

(Blouse and sling bag from KL/ Floppy Fedora from Topshop/ Shades from Cotton On/ Crochet shorts from Hurs/ Boots from J Shoes)

I was at Laneway last Sunday and as you can tell from the mass of hipsters behind me that this is where hipsters congregate. I love people watching at concerts and music festivals, you can tell that some of them really dress to impress and I love how some people let loose with their fashion! 

Yeah maybe it's a little ironic that I had on a hat and shades to ward off the sweltering heat yet I had tights too... Well what to do, I rather suffer a little than show everyone how ugly my thighs are. It was also today that Mardy (looking as effortlessly cool as always) and I realized JUST how important denim shorts hahah. 

Denim shorts are next on my shopping list and ooh yes, gonna add more feathers to my hair soon hehe.

Aside from the amazing fashion inspiration that I got, I was blown away by Feist and m83. They were amazing, their charisma and their music, their entire performance was perfect.  

Are We Not Horses?

(Sequinned top from Blogshopping/ Pleated flare pants & floppy hat from Topshop/ Gladiators from Aldo/ Assorted accessories from all over)

Today was close to perfect, went to visit my beautiful horses at the Singapore Polo Club where I used to work. It's one of the few places I really really miss working at. I didn't expect to visit them today, it was a spur of the moment but oh my gosh, the horses remembered me. They're still as loving, magnificent and messy as ever. 

I have a thing for sequined items, like blouses, skirts, beanies... etc. When worn the right way, they can be stylish and even add a zest to an otherwise boring outfit. Think a white tank top with jeans, throw on a sequined blazer for night or a sequined beanie for daytime. Do you guys have any idea what other pair of shoes I could pair my pants with other than slippers or sandals? 

And oh yeah, I'm definitely a gypsy. :P
