Floral Bomber Jacket | Godzilla's Head, Tokyo

It's weird. Most people are excited to wear their new clothes immediately but me, no. I like to see them getting comfortable in their new "home" first. I'd buy a pair of pants or a top and let it chill in my closet, and a year after that I'd be like "Ah, NOW is the perfe…

Are You Ready?

I found this Mango "Are You Ready?" sweater to be a little ironically funny, considering it's the one question I used to get asked a lot as I'm getting ready when I was a teenager living at my family's house - usually in a frustrating tone.

. . . . . . .
I have news. It's …

Zebra Kimono, Jumpsuit & Those Cutout Peep Toed Booties

There have been many, many times when I stood in front of my closet and declared, "OK, I have nothing to wear."

Obviously this is just an exclamation for dramatic effect (and to fish for an opportunity for another shopping spree from Shah) but we all know that that isn't true; it'…

From KL To Tokyo

I can't believe it, I'm back in Tokyo, guys.
SUPER happy to be back here! I arrived yesterday but was a little jet-lagged. Tokyo is actually only an hour ahead of Malaysia but the downside of taking the plane during my normal sleeping hours is I don't get to properly sleep. You could c…

That Donut Sweater

So I can be a complete sucker for kitschy prints, can you tell? Seriously, the only reason I bought this top was because of those donuts print. 
I spotted this sweater on H&M sale racks late last year and it was the last piece (and the first!) of donut-sweater-goodness I had seen in any H&…

Makeup Buys From USA

Nope, I did not visit the US of A recently, I wish! These were all brought back to me by Shah, who had a meeting there (lucky him). I decided not to go because it didn't make sense for us to pay so much for the pricey flight ticket just for me to spend a couple of days there. That being said, …

Hanaa Cardigan + Chewing Gum Clutch (Seriously)

So about nine weeks ago (Instagram-time) I saw a sneak peek of this bold printed fabric on my Instagram feed—posted by the brand Covered By Sipi Alidrus, who's also the brand responsible for this super cool space-age shawl—and I immediately thought "OK whatever that's going to turn ou…

Less Than Stellar (But Still Cute?)

For someone who has a virtual space to document her daily outfits (no, wait, weekendly outfits?), I find that it is such a waste when I dress up all cute but couldn't find a window of opportunity to take proper photos of my outfit.

Like on this day:


We can agree to disagree on the "all cu…

Yellow Not Mellow

You know what, I have very little yellow in my closet. Very little. I'm starting to think that it's not enough. Like, some topping off is needed. Pronto.
I remember walking along the narrow "streets" of Asian Avenue in Sunway Pyramid years and years ago, when I was exclusively in…

The Picnic Table by Simply Sandwiches Turns 1 !

Happy Birthday to the Picnic Table and the Simply Sandwiches team!
I can't believe it has been exactly a year since I attended their launch party on Halloween day last year! It didn't feel that long ago, somehow.
I was a little late this year to the party, which started in the early mornin…

Peripera Peri's Ink Liquid Lipstick in #5 & Peri's Ink Remover

OK, so, I like this liquid lipstick. I really, really like it. But then there are a couple of cons, and they are: In my head now ---> "Oh great this is JUST grrreeeattt now I have to get the other two shades." (PS: This is a con in my case.) (PPS: Malaysia only gets three shades out of…
