Backpacking

Lately I haven't been in my best physical state. I constantly feel tired and fatigued, and the fact that it's all my own fault especially annoys me. I haven't been moving around much and my diet is chaotic. I'd get like nine to ten hours of sleep and would still feel sleepy after e…

One Important Mascara Trick

Mascara is magical. Seriously. If I could only own three makeup items for the rest of my life, mascara would be one of them. 
Well, it's third on the list, because concealer and lipstick are more magical, and hence they come first—but still, mascara made my top three, guys. I could be finishin…

Pink Adidas T-Shirt & Customised Beige Suit

Sometimes, all I want to wear are jeans, a tee and white sneakers. Easy, everyone's go-to combo, comfy.
Other times, I still want to wear a tee and white sneakers but then I'm all 'let's keep things fresh by topping them off with a beige suit instead'.

This isn't actually a…

Casually Undone

I'm never going to be one of those people who look put-together at all times—that sounds like way too much work. Way. Half the time I can't even be bothered to put a stitch of makeup on, let alone iron / steam iron my clothes right before needing to dash out of the door—or should this sent…

The Pineapple Pendant

I don't even like pineapple in its natural form, but, hey, I don't discriminate when it comes to fashion.
I don't own many necklaces at all but even then I haven't worn most of them. I haven't counted, but if I have 10, I've worn maybe two...? It's like I purposely take…

Aoyama Flower Market in Tokyo

I'm used to buying RM 2-per-stem flowers from the little flower stalls scattered around my hometown (I always buy at the old folks' home in KJ), but I'm not one to go to a proper florist and order myself a bouquet to decorate my house. It's not that I don't want to, but when I …

Sequinned Sneakers

Do you really need a pair of sequinned sneakers? My answer is yes. Yes you do. You need a pair. Or two, or three. Who's counting, anyway?
Seriously, sneakers are all I'm wearing nowadays. If they weren't so darn comfortable, I'd probably boo myself for being so unimaginative with m…

Plaid Robe For The Streets

Who knew you could wear a dressing gown out, right?  Not that the one I'm wearing is one, but the whole robe vibes just work for me.
I saw a rack full of long blazer type tops in one of my fave shops in Shibuya 109; some plain, some pinstripe, some plaid, and each came with its matching belt. …
