But I Like A Good Canadian Tuxedo...

Well, yes, I kind of really do...

I never knew why it was nicknamed that (I like this story though) but I was deep into denim-on-denim before I knew about that phrase (and it's negative connotation); I think it's safe to assume that the current hate comes from the group of people who are s…

Pretty Little Tiers

Remember that time I lamented about layering in hot weathers and whatnots? All I can say is, there's only one trick for it: wear super thin layers, of course.
Bonus tip, though: stay indoors. Air-conditioned indoors, to be exact. . . . . . . .
When I saw this dress hanging at Monki's rack, …

Can You Believe All This Burkini Fuss? + My Swimming Story

*PS: My blog's look is still under construction!

I honestly can't, because as far as I'm concerned, "burkini" has been around for years and years, so why now? I mean, I can give a few guesses as to why now; I just want those people banning it to give answers. Apparently they&#…

How Do We Feel About Applying Lipstick In Public?

Who knew that this could be an issue - I certainly didn't - but apparently it might not be as innocent as I thought it was. I do it all the time in restaurants after eating at the table (only when I have a full-face makeup on, that is) but I was told it isn't good practice to do so.
But i…

Cereal Killer

One fun fact about me: I love cereal. I usually have up to four different cereals stored in my refrigerator, so that I can have cereal buffets for breakfast whenever I please. I cannot tell you guys how long I have been waiting to use this title; finally it is ninety nine point nine percent releva…

Denim Jacket + Black Dress (& In Need of Inspirations)

Ever since my trips to Tokyo ended, I feel like I haven't been getting any fresh wave of inspiration. As possibly whiny and pretentious as that sounds, guyss fo realzzz, it's happening to me and I need helppp. Like I legitimately am too much of a nerd and a geek to say that just for the sa…

What Happened Recently

Can you guys believe that it's nearing the end of August? Like I seriously feel 2016 just started not too long ago (pretty sure it's not just me feeling this way!).

1) Can't wait for more good movies The three most recent movies I watched at the cinema are The Shallows, Jason Bourne (f…

Photo Diary: Short Trip to Penang Island

And these are all really just a small portion of what makes Penang so unique (and I didn't even take any photos of the food there, which is ah.may.zinggg) - you can't help but be totally in love with the old-school vibes coming off every corner of Penang Island!

More Shirt-Dresses, Please.

Wanting more of button-down shirt-dresses like this polka dot one (first worn in Tokyo!), because of how it functions as the perfect cover-up on top of my simple plain t-shirt and denim jeans outfit.
I haven't broken out my fuchsia Longchamp in the longest while - the best when it comes to lu…

Accidentally Sort-of Matching

Recently I joined my mom for a dim sum brunch to celebrate her sister's / my auntie's birthday. I tend to take my respect for the generations above me into consideration when it comes to dressing up to be in their company; that means my goal was to look appropriately demure, but it's a…

That Sorbet Caftan

If you've been keeping up with my blog for a while (seriously, THANK YOU) you might, might just remember this flowy pink, green and peach caftan, which I wore during Eid in 2014 (and which reminds me of those 'traffic light' cold sorbet sticks in 7-Eleven!). I still love this caftan a…

Red + Black: Wrap & Songket

A tied wrap top in a rich, rich red shade that I have always loved; a black, red and silver "songket" skirt; as for shoes, black and red mules - finally I own a pair! - with mirrored heels.
Another one of my Eid outfits, during a day full of visiting family and friends XO
Wearing: Top a…
