{Work Wear} Go All Out
Mix Monday,
work wear
If you're feeling all fashionista on a Monday then I say go all out with bold prints and red trousers. Don't forget to accent your outfit with gold bangles and chunky necklace.
I think you'd notice by now that I have a thing for those jewelries.

{Thoughts} Looking Forward To Visit Home
cookies,
food,
Home,
recipe
I’m looking forward to visit home on January. It’s been a year and I kind of miss everything that’s in there; the local foods, places, friends and my bed. I can’t believe it’s almost 3 years since I left home and going back would make me reminisce all the good times and the bad. I already set my plans on what to do and I might add some more as I get closer to the date. But here is what I’ve written so far.
1. Get a manicure/pedicure/foot spa
2. Eat local food
3. Meet up with friends
4. Going out of town
5. Shop
6. See my dad’s new condo
7. Bake cookies!
For those if you who don’t know, I love to bake and the only time I get to do that is when I visit home. It’s a pity that I don’t have an oven in my apartment so I feel excited whenever I get to do so. Baking cookies reminds me of summer (I was about 15 yrs old when I baked my first batch of cookies during summer) and these oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite.
1/2 cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) butter, softened
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt (I often use a half teaspoon, but I like more salt in my baked goods)
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt (I often use a half teaspoon, but I like more salt in my baked goods)
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in the oats, raisins and walnuts, if using them.
At this point you can either chill the dough for a bit in the fridge and then scoop it, or scoop the cookies onto a sheet and then chill the whole tray before baking them. You could also bake them right away, if you’re impatient, but I do find that they end up slightly less thick.
The cookies should be two inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes (your baking time will vary, depending on your oven and how cold the cookies were going in), taking them out when golden at the edges but still a little undercooked-looking on top. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool.

{Beauty} Hair Trend To Replace The Ombre
Beauty
Last year's ombre has taken the beauty world by storm, and for the most part, I'm not a fan of it. Gladly it was replaced by these trendy yet wearable hair colours that I'm absolutely lovin.
{Overall chestnut brown}
Anyone can easily pull this off especially if you naturally have dark hair. Even unless you're having an Ashley Simpson moment then I'd say you're one brave gal!
{Golden Highlights}
Now, I'm really diggin this. Colder months tend to bring out the pastry in me and
though I have a light hair colour, I'm considering some highlights to change it.
It's so fall season right?

{Work Wear} Go Casual
Fashion,
work wear
Ever since I started working I've been wearing corporates. In my line, I have to face clients almost everyday and it only means that I have to look my best. No jeans or sweats for me but I've learn how to mix and match outfits that defines classy and elegant.
But for those ladies who wear casual attires to work (luck you!), the possibilities are endless. Just keep in mind to layer and add fabulous accessories to keep it interesting. Don't forget your nails! Much like a red lip, it can take your outfit up a notch.

3. Femme Fatale
4. Hip Miss
