Lusting Over: McQueen De Manta Clutch


If there is one clutch I'm dying to have this fall is this McQueen De Manta Floral Print. Normally I'd see this design in loud funky prints but after Sarah Burton took over the house of McQueen, she added her feminine touch to this iconic piece. I couldn't wait to get my hands on one.

What To Wear: Plane Travel

What To Wear: Plane Travel

travel

As you ladies may know, I'm off to a long haul flight this coming Friday and I want to make sure I'm wearing the most comfortable outfit. I don't want to get stressed out wearing tight clothes or painful shoes. It just doesn't do justice. So here is my go to outfit for a stress free flight.

Knit dress is always the best. It's loose and it keeps you warm. Don't forget your scarf and jacket. These will give you additional warmth just in case the air-condition in the plane gets too cold.

If you don't plan on wearing makeup, you can opt to wear sunglasses instead. No one would notice and you'd carry less stuff. I can't do with just that so I wear minimal makeup and make sure I carry the small sized skincare products to remove my makeup and hydrate my skin. 

I also carry a book with me to keep me entertained. I could opt for an iPad but the less weight I carry the better. Like I said I don't want to get stressed out and excess baggage is one of those.

So if you're planning your trip soon, keep these tips to mind. Surely, you'll enjoy the ride even more.

"Ah Ha" Moment with eBay

"Ah Ha" Moment with eBay





If there's one thing I love accessories is its way of turning a simple outfit into something fabulous. You can just wear a plain blouse and use an accessory as a pop of color and you're all set. With all the pieces you can find online, picking one can be tricky but if you manage to then you're surely found a treasure. You don't even have to spend a ton, with eBay you can look for accessories for a fraction of the cost. Just look at what I found.



Aren't these a beauty? I didn't even know they sell these on eBay. Statement necklace, bold cocktail rings, who would have thought? These are definitely treasures worth keeping.

From the new to the hard to find, when it’s on your mind, it’s on eBay.

London Here I Come!

London Here I Come!




I would never thought in a million years that at this young age I would be able to visit London, my first Europe trip ever. As a child I was always in awe by the panoramic view of thames river, parliament house and big ben. It's just so beautiful and seeing it with my own two eyes will be a dream come true.

I'm going there first week of September, just about time when autumn begins. I'll be going around the country as well so it'll be interesting to see the country side of it. I'd like to think of this a beautiful surprise. I was initially planning to go to New York for the second time but indeed He had a better plan. I couldn't be more thankful.

The Bar Cart

Bar carts are a chic way to decor an empty corner of a room. Not only does it make the space a interesting but it's also a convenient way to entertain guests. I like how you can mix pieces not related to concocting drinks like books, frames and even flowers. It adds a bit of a touch that makes everything look more unique on it's own.

Fall Look - Navy Blue and Printed Pants


fall look


If there is one thing I love about fall fashion is all the dark and earthy hues you can play with. In this case, the inspiration is about mixing it with a pair of black and white print pants and mauve lipstick. Very minimal accessory yet the entire look is polished.

Lusting Over: 3.1 Philip Lim Pashli Satchel


If there is one functional working bag that I'm dying to have at the moment, it's this 3.1 Philip Lim Pashli Satchel. I should have lusted over this a year ago but hey, it's an IT bag right? You can lust for it, crave for it anytime any season. I just think it works whether you're in a mood for a day in the park or a fun night out.

For this fall, I have my eyes on either navy blue or grey. Which colour do you think works best?

Lace Bra Streetstyle

 
Gone are the days where showing off your undergarment is deemed inappropriate. Nowadays, revealing just a bit gives you a stylish and laid back look. Black is always a classic but it won't do harm if you play with colours like purple, pink or even green. Just make sure it matches your outfit. And oh! I suggest not to expose too much. It's either the back, a bit of the front or the side. Think of it as a lace accent to your overall look.

Dean and Deluca Singapore - A Casual Cafe At The Heart Of the City

Dean and Deluca Singapore - A Casual Cafe At The Heart Of the City




A few months ago this well-known café in New York finally made it's way to sunny side Singapore. With foods ranges from soups and salads to all day breakfast and desserts, this is one place you'd surely want to try.

I had dinner there last Saturday and I managed to try 3 dishes out of their menu; lasagna, meatballs and eggs iberico. The verdict? I find that most of their food are preheated, not good. Though I have to say I did enjoy the lasagna. The tomato sauce is sweet and it has the perfect ratio of pasta and cheese.
The meatball is forgettable while the eggs iberico wasn't bad at all. I like how they use sun-dried tomato bread instead of the usual toasted brioche. It gives it a more unique taste.

So will I go back there? Probably yes, but that is to try their desserts. I noticed people go there to have hi-tea not really for meals.

Inflight Skin Care Products

Inflight Skin Care Products


I'm off to a long haul flight this coming September, 14 hours to be exact, and if you follow me on twitter, you know where I'm going. I'm not really a fan traveling for hours but the thought of going some place new is enough for me to endure it. So with that I thought I should share with you what I'd be bringing with me during the flight. You might get ideas as well on what to bring on your next trip.

  • The Face Shop Herb Day Cleansing Wipes
  • Biore Cleansing Oil Facial Sheets
  • Watson's Anti-Bacterial Cleansing Wipes
  • Nivea Refreshing Soft Moisturizing Cream

You're probably wondering why I have so many wipes with me. Well The Face Shop Herb Day cleansing wipes is to clean my face after removing my makeup with Biore and the Watson's anti-bacterial wipes is to clean my hands prior to any application.

As you can see I only have a few items with me but all of it serves it's purpose. The key is to make sure your face is clean and it's properly hydrated as it gets really dry when you're flying up in the air. Some would put on a clear mask and let it stay on your skin for a few minutes. You can do that too but I prefer to just use moisturizing cream and sleep it off.

I'm very minimalist when it comes to skincare. In fact, I don't put any products on my face except for my moisturizing cream. I find that if one puts on a lot of products, the skin gets even drier.

I hope you learn a thing or two here. Enjoy your upcoming vacations. I know I would!
