Denims, Zebra & Intergalactic Metallic Splash

So, guys, my laptop's power cord was completely blown out when I was in Tokyo. By the way, I arrived back in Malaysia yesterday, and it is HOT here. I obviously miss Tokyo very much—no, make that so very damn much, but it's always a case of "better to have loved and lost than to have …

(Almost) All Black + Leopard Ankle Boots

Even though black is such a staple colour, I just realised that I don't own much black in my closet at all, so to see me wearing a black head-to-toe outfit is, well, never going to happen; I'd just be itching for more. A black shoulder-to-ankle look however is a different thing, but even t…

Photo Diary: Godzilla Head, Shinjuku Toho Building



Ever since my trip to see the Godzilla Head from afar (see here), I've been waiting for the day when I would get closer to itand last Sunday was the day, so yasss. I initially wanted to go during the day but there's a 1-minute light show on the head every few hours, so it was probably best to see that at night time.

Mustard Jacket + Easy A + Patched Jeans

This mustard duffle coat, which resembles Paddington Bear's a lot (loves it), was one of my buys during my last trip to Tokyo in November last year—finally got to wear it on this trip! If you've been to Affordorable recently, you might have caught up with this post on my mustard cardigan. …

Duster Proportions

The proportion of this duster is pretty weird and wild: a little oversized and a little too long, but it fits me perfectly. I don't think I'd own something unconventional like it had I not seen a girl on a Tokyo Metro train wearing something similar and looking nonchalantly super cool in i…

TOKYO BABY

I'm SUPER stoked to be back in Tokyo.
Obviously I'm really, really, REALLY looking forward to doing some shopping but I'm really excited about the food, too! All the barbecued beefs and barbecued seafood and shabu-shabu and ramen and donburi and tempura...

Affordable Spring Pieces in Trending Colours

With spring just around the bend, it’s pretty much the perfect time to start thinking about our future wardrobe additions and how to incorporate this year’s trending colours—affordably, of course! InStyle has already covered Pantone's top ten spring 2016 colours so I have a great list to work …

The Denim Jacket That You Need (and That I Want More Of)

When I was in Tokyo I noticed so many Japanese—boys and girls, men and women—wore baggy oversized jackets, and it gave them this super cool, nonchalantly laidback aura that I wish I possess myself. Seriously, even an ounce of that aura would do me good, but I'm pretty sure it's like what M…

Makeup & Beauty Buys From Seoul

I've been in the 'dark or bright, no natural lips' kind of phase ever since my autumn-winter trip to Tokyo last November, so when Shah had to go for a quick visit to Korea last month, all I asked for were dark AND bright lip products. He had full three days of work: one day of meetings…
