Pink Is Not A New Obsession

One of the things that I loved about being in Japan was the street style vibes there were always bouncing off of me, giving me inspirations to try out new things with the clothes that are already existing in my own closet. Pairing a baggy, loose something with an even baggier, more loose something…

Belted Striped Blazer + Illuminated Sakura @ Ueno Park

When I was in Tokyo I kind of dressed up at night just to go out and see the illuminated sakura at different parks at night. I mean, I can't be the only one who thought of these occasions as something special, surely.

It's definitely a challenge to take photos at night (especially in such …

Luke's Lobster in Cat Street, Omotesando, Tokyo

Honestly, the lobster meat from Luke's Lobster in Cat Street, off of the long stretch of Omotesando, was the juiciest lobster meat that had ever made its way into my digestive system. Basically bomb.com, guys. (PS: Has anyone ever checked if www.bomb.com is an actual website?)

I think Luke'…

Rainbow Pea Coat & The Same Old Marigold

I honestly was planning on putting these marigold pants away for a bit because I've been reaching for them too many times; it felt like I wasn't sharing the love with my other pants. But then I was about to pack this rainbow pea coat into my bag for Tokyo and I realised my coat match the p…

Zalora Wish List & Cashback With ShopBack!

If you've shopped online before (and we all have, no need for secrets in this safe space), you would know that nothing beats the thrill of receiving a box full of goodies you ordered online. The excitement of seeing your things for the very first time, the anticipation of trying them out—it…

You Can Always Be Overdressed

I never get the chance to wear this paded bohemian-inspired cropped jacket in Malaysia—it's just much too humid for it! (What else is new.) I've only worn it once early last year, and I just had to seize the chance to put it on once again when I was in Tokyo recently, and pull a double-den…

Never Learning Some Lessons : Polka Dots + Denims

When I was younger, I used to go to those little pop-up bazaars all the time and bought heaps of my closet's fillers from them. Over time I discovered that with their sub par quality, they're not exactly the best investments to make. The things you see there are also usually trendy pieces …

How To Wear Some Things At Certain Moments : Long Blazer + Palazzo Pants

There are days when I need to leave the house ASAP but look presentable at the same time. Now, I don't know about you guys, but I find those days challenging. Honestly, I'm that person who stares at a closet full of clothes and pants and dresses and shoes and bags for 15 minutes and procla…

Eye Drops That Actually WORK: Rohto Eye Drops

The thing is, I don't like wearing glasses. I have a list and all to tell you why: My makeup looks better without them on. I don't know how Bobbi Brown slays in glasses + makeup.Mascara smears on the lenses when I have makeup on = NOT COOL.Eye strain that comes and goes when I'm doing w…

The Black and White Zig Zag Dress

I'm a self-confessed clothes-hoarder; I tend to buy something and keep it in my closet for ages because there just never seem to be a "right" time to wear it. This relatively dramatic witchery dress has probably been left unused in my possession for more than a year so I was starting…
