Dots Dots Dots

I was a sucker for polka dots back in the days, but apparently not much has changed since "back in the days", but, really, this particular head-to-toe dots-filled outfit just has a lot to do with my perpetual crush on Pharrell Williams, which started back in 2004 when I was listening to …

And The Beauty Products That Made My 2015 Are...

It's certainly been a year full of ups and downs, in terms of beauty, for me. I had some really good hair days and some great clear months with my skin but I must say, my facial skin is like a movie; there's always a dismaying twist, only in this "movie", that twist always happen…

Marigold

I used to think I would never go for anything marigold to fill up my closet, but I guess that's why Justin Bieber reminded us to "never say never." (I feel like any Justin Bieber reference is OK now because his new music is really good.)

It took me about three weeks to decide if I sh…

Kose Visée Lip and Cheek Cream

I remember reading advices from makeup experts a long time ago saying cream blush lasts longer on the skin than powder blush does and thinking, "Yah, um, no, I don't think so." I was a sceptic with oily-combination-skin back then, who remained steadfastly loyal to mostly powder-based…

Long Blazer + Ripped Jeans

I spent a really long time looking for the perfect dark long blazer and I found this baby on the very day I arrived in Tokyo last month. Meant to be, guys. Meant to be.

But, well, it was on sale for 7000 yen though, which is about RM 250, and if you've been following my blog for some time you …

Faux Leather Sleeves Bomber Jacket + Culottes (Plus, New Glasses!)

Just like this floral bomber jacket, I've been waiting FOREVAH to put on this two-toned leather-sleeved bomber jacket. This jacket is just as amazing a find as that floral piece, and you know what, just as affordable. Those front pockets? Super useful when the temperature is dropping as the da…

Cropped & Frayed

One thing important lesson I learned from my recent Tokyo trip was you can never have enough denim jackets, because there's no such thing as one denim jacket, do you know what I mean? There are just too many varieties around to settle on just one.

Did you guys know that there are like 7000 dif…

Fuzzy Pile Tokyome

I think I'm borderline obsessed with this pile jacket. If it were acceptable to don it in Malaysia—like maybe in malls, or when I go to Cameron Highlands, or when I go to a fancy wedding in an air-conditioned hall (on top of my traditional wear or a formal dress), or something—I'd totally …

MAC Rebel Lipstick + MAC Currant Lip Pencil

Personally, for me, one of the best things about autumn is actually wearing my favourite warm red lipsticks and berry-based ones. I mean, obviously I can wear them at any time of the year, I know that, but there's just something about the spirit of wearing season-appropriate shades of lippies,…

All Greys + Super Pink Stan Smith

Like I mentioned in this post, I'm sort of on an Adidas kick right now. Like, I'm on a kick for Adidas kicks. I blame it squarely on the fact that Adidas is now supporting Manchester United, and Shah is a staunch supporter of MU, so now our shoe closet (it's an imaginary one for now, a…
