Tiered Ruffle Sleeves, Boyfriend Jeans & Cutout Studded Boots

Today's outfit is all about my old favourites, including this sweet little black thayng with tiered ruffle sleeves. I have yet to find something similar, and trust me I have been on a lookout for it; I explained just why statement sleeves are a blessing for hijabis who love fashion and style t…

Off-the-shoulder Red Denim Jacket & Black-and-White Zig Zag Dress

I'm continuing the digging of my own "closet archive" with this black and white zig zag dress, which already made an appearance on Affordorable with a different ON-the-shoulder blue denim jacket last year.



As for this overall look, I was very much inspired to do an off-the-shoulder d…

My Lichtenstein 'Girl With Hair Ribbon' Poster | Favourite Corner At Home

First of all, let me just put this out there, so as to not panic my fellow Malaysians: I definitely do NOT wear shoes in my house, this photoshoot was purely dramatized for the sake of Affordorable only.
(Also, those pumps were a 100% clean guysss, I'm not a monster.)

Figuring Out My 2018 Style 'Resolution' | Chambray & Mickey Again

I've lamented about the exact identity of my style in the past and I still occasionally do until today, but I always try to remember what my dear reader and friend Judy has said relating to this in one of those laments about my style:
"I believe that our personal style is ever evolving. W…

My Little H&M Makeup Collection

My love for H&M Makeup I dedicated a whole post on H&M's eyebrow products a couple of months ago but I've got to share with you guys, I love ALL of the makeup products I bought from H&M when I was in Italy. I know, I know, I am SO incredibly late to this party, but is it my fau…

Red Blazer & Embroidered Ripped Jeans | Digging Into My Closet's Archive

It's crazy to think about how long it has been since I last wore this blazer — much, much too long, considering the fact that blazers are generally super versatile and this one happens to be in my favourite colour evah. I bought this blazer from the Pull & Bear branch in the Le Quatre Temp…

Photo Diary: Arts & Lights - An Interactive Pop-up Experience at Icon City, PJ


My family and I had loadsss of fun at this event. While the installation was nowhere near as thoughtful as the artworks I saw at Yayoi Kusama's exhibition in Singapore (not that I'm an expert, I need plaques to tell me so tbh), it was still a little reminiscent of that exhibition in the sense that people just want to feast their eyes on pretty things and have fun photographing (and selfie-ing with) them!

Two-Tone Oversized Denim Jacket & Polka Dots Wide Culottes


Last weekend I went to a local "interactive" arts and lights installation exhibition with my family, and I've got to admit that one of the main reasons for my going was for the (quite Instagrammable) photo ops! But seriously, in all honesty, cool events like this rarely happen in my hood so it was a great way to spice up what would have otherwise been a regular non-exciting weekend.

How To Dress A Little 'Extra' | Belted Duster & Loop Hoop Earrings

Lately my looks have been very much pared down to super casual. I mean, 'super casual' is my go-to style, but I kind of miss being a little extra when it comes to dressing up, you know?

It seems like my style "heyday" happened whenever I traveled overseas; I remember being comple…
