Polka Dot Peplum Top & Red Pumps

YAY summer is hereee 
oh wait it's summer all year around in Malaysia anyway, so, nope, the excitement is not applicable here - not so much. I've always wondered, do people who live in four-season countries feel bad for Malaysians because we only ever get "summer" every day, or a…

What Happened Recently

My head is throbbing from the headache I'm currently having, but I feel like I haven't checked in with you guys for a little too long!



1) It's the 22nd day of Ramadhan already, I mean, just, wow - time flies, guys.
Eid, which is on the first day of the month of Syawal in the Islamic ca…

Flare Jeans the Revival

I'm totally fixated on denim jeans right now (still not sick of them and always talking about them) so flare ones just seem like a natural progression.
Well, and also because I've worn and re-worn my other jeans so many times that I'm not left with much choices, and these flare jeans j…

In Them Jeans

Just a casual day out, doing the usuals, with the usual suspect, you know: grocery-shopping, taking photos outside the grocer, those sort of things. Still on my jeans kick, as you can see here. I've gone through almost all of my pairs of jeans, being in this 'only-denim-jeans' phase, a…

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm: Unapologetic, Striking, Standout, Fiery

As much as my love for makeup go hand-in-hand with my passion for fashion, I'm just not a regular makeup-purchaser anymore, with me rather always choosing to rely on my regular makeup favourites.
But I was really excited when I saw Revlon Colorburst matte balm lipsticks in Sasa at Mitsui Oulte…

Like Lumberjack

Lumberjack chic is a thing, right?
I'm reviving plenty of old things in this outfit: I loved these cutout boots, a purchase I made in Bershka Shibuya last year and had only worn at most thrice (not for the lack of love though, for sure!) - and believe it or not, the last time I wore this short…

How To Shop For Clothes On A Budget

A woman dressed to the nines more often than not gives the impression that she spent a fortune on her outfit, even though in the back of our minds, we know that clothes aren't indicative of our bank account. Take a look at Mark Zuckerberg: his net worth is estimated to be $51.6 billion (!) yet…

Denim Jeans Phase

It's weird, but I go through phases with denim jeans. I remember last year when I kept putting jeans on every time I go out and subsequently got sick of them - something I didn't even know was possible! - that I bought a bunch of palazzo pants and culottes and skirts just so that I could s…

What Happened Recently

Can you guys believe it's June already?
Like.
What.
I can't believe I've been 30 for almost a whole 6 months already!
1) It's the first day of Ramadhan today! I feel very, very blessed and incredibly grateful to have met the holy month again.
My first day of fasting was uneventful …

Day Out In Stripes

Do you know there's this 12-feet tall "I LOVE KL" sign in Kuala Lumpur? So, I hadn't visited it, which is not at all embarrassing, since this situation is totally just like how Parisians don't ever bother going up the Eiffel Tower, right? I thought it was finally time for Sha…
