Navy + Burgundy skinnies (+ white/mint)



Flora Emboss-Embroidery Zipper Vest in Navy from Hollyhoque | Burgundy skinnies from Gmarket | Butterfly suede flats in Navy girls sizze 3 from Old Navy

The skinnies really help to slim down my legs, and I love the colour! Only that it's a little uncomfortable and the rise is a bit too low.. But I think it's still alright? Heh.

Decided to buy this vest in navy too because I love the white one to death and it fits me really well!
Here's a picture of my white one paired with my mint skinnies.

These are my favouritest flats EVER! (took this picture from eBay). They are sooo comfortable and were only 8USD when I bought them from Old Navy's outlet in US. I'm still so upset that my sister only let me buy it in 1 colour at that time! If I could go back, I'd gladly sweep them up in all colours + back up pairs. Wore out this ensemble to school :)

H&M Tropical High-Low Dress


Tropical printed high-low dress from H&M | Maris T-Strap sandals in Nude from Banana Republic (here/similar 1 2 3)


The material of the dress isn't fab - it's really thin and at first I though I needed to wear it with a petticoat. But the colour turned out to be opaque enough for me to just wear nude undies with :) I'm loving the subtle high-low cutting and the prints! Got this from a re-seller at only $18 :D Great casual dress for sunny singapore~

Paired this with my new sandals from BR, which are sooo comfortable! This is my first pair of sandals, because before this pair, all the ones I tried had ver thin and hard bases. This one has a foamy base so it's really soft! And it's made of real leather, which is great because I hate faux leather! It peels way too easily :(

Galaxy skirt (again!) + Crochet top


Lace Trim Neckline Crochet Back top inWhite from Hollyhoque | Galaxy skirt from Dirtybling | Sliver glitter flats from U.R.S (not shown)

Yes, I love this skirt to bits!! :)

The top fits loosely on me and the armholes are a little big and shows a peek of my bra, but it's fine to me. My friend who is a uk4 tried the top on and it really looked like an NTUC plastic bag on her though, hahaha.

Boyfriend shirt


Pocket basic sleeveless top from Hollyhoque | Light denim shorts from New Future | Suede booties in Grey from Taobao/Gmarket (can't rmb)

This is my favouritest, worn-to-death tank top from HH! (Note to self: buy every colour) It's made of jersey cotton so it's really soft and comfy to the skin. The ptp is just right and so is the length! It can be easily tucked into dresses/shorts too :) So this is how I would look on a normal day to school, with a cardigan tucked into my bag. But more recently, I've started liking... Boyfriend shirts!

p.s my close up shots are mostly not filtered to show the true colours :)

I love this soft denim oversized shirt so much! It's a bit long for me, but I guess that helps to create the more 'boyfriend' look right? hehe.

Polka dots!


Crochet peterpan collar polka dot dress, thrifted | Ferragamo Vara inspired heels in Blush (35) from Taobao | Long wallet from Fossil.

I bought this dress at $10, and it's worth the price I must say! It's a fun dress, cute and rather short, but still long enough for me! I love the crochet peterpan collar too. I'm a huge fan of peterpan collars :P Wore this out to meet my boyfriend for a casual dinner :)

Topshop crochet waist dresses






Crochet Waist dress in Cream floral from Topshop (UK6) | Ferragamo Vara inspired heels in Blush from Taobao (35) | Butterfly necklace from Forever21


So you can see that this dress can be worn both ways, either the V neck or the high collar. Personlly I prefer V necks because I don't have a long enough neck for high neck tops to look good on me :x I loved this dress so much that I hunted it down on eBay and had it shipped over at $55. However, as you can see from the pictures, the dress doesn't fit me at the chest area.. It would fit a UK4/Uk6 with cup B at maximum. I'm a B/C. Sigh! So yup I'm selling it for $55, at the price I got it at (here), email me/leave a comment if you're interested! Otherwise, it is a beautiful dress and I would love to keep it if I could fit into it :(





Crochet waist dress in Blush rose from Topshop (UK6)

I was quite unsure if I should post this up, cos how terribly it fits me is just so embarrassing! The straps was originally too loose, so I had it shortened by a tailor. However, I did not have the time to do proper measurements, so it ended up being too short and thus the tight wasit area being too high up :/ Now, it can only fit a uk6 cup A or uk4. Sigh! there goes another $45 :( selling it on my journal too (here) I love the prints of it so much!!! Look how sweet it is! WHY O WHYYY :'(

Scallop trims with girly cut outs



Scallop Trim Laid Back top in Umber from Hollyhoque | Light denim shorts from New Future | Brown wedges from Taobao (35)

I got this top from HH's buffet months ago and I love it! It's really airy which is GREAT for singapore's weather, since I usually only wear a nude bra underneath it (umber isn't very sheer). but under strong lighting (like when I took this picture) you can see a bit of the bra if you're not wearing a nude tone that blends into your skin.. I wasn't :x I wouldn't have paid over $20 for this, so I'm really glad I picked it up at the buffet :P

This pair of shorts has been with me since I was 14, that means... 6 years ago? :x

Orange shorts


Peasant crop cami from American Eagle (XS) | Contrast Denim Stitch shorts in Pumpkin (s) from Hollyhoque.
*disclaimer: i definitely don't dress like that irl! I was just too lazy to change into another tank top and this was already on me [see colourblock skirt post :x])

The shorts are perfect imo! No need to wear seamless panties cos the material isn't too thin. Yay!! The contrast stitches weren't very obvious though, in fact it looks a little strange with just a few stitches here and there.. But it's alright! The colour is slightly redder indoors, but becomes this colour under sunlight. All in all, I love this shorts to bits! The colour certainly brightens up my day :D

Cropped cami + Colour block skirt




(i realised that I didn't take a good picture of the cami, so here it is! the stock picture :x)



Peasant Crop Cami from American Eagle (XS) [similar] | Comma colour block skirt (Navy/Rosso, S) from Hollyhoque | Brown wedges from Taobao (35)

The cropped cami is loose in a slouchy way on me, but still looks good with high waisted :) It is cream, though, not pure white. The skirt is GREAT i love it! My BFF and I bought them together, she got it in orange/wine. Size S fits me perfectly, with a bit of space for buffets thanks to the elastic band! I'm not sure if the colour will run, but so far it hasn't.

Dungaree bralette + Orange florals










Dungaree Bralette v.2 in Dark denim (M) from LittleRedHeels | Orange Floral skirt from C&A kids | Brown wedges from Taobao (35)


The dungaree bralette is cute, except that the straps come off easily from the front cos it's detatchable, but you can adjust the straps tighter so that it'll be less of a problem. Also, note that you have to wear a strapless bra if you want to fully conceal your bra straps. I was too lazy to, and you can see from my pictures that a bit of the straps are exposed at. If you have their earlier launched floral bustier top, note that size M for this = size S for that!

I bought the skirt when I was in Germany, but I think they have an online store? It was only 3 euros!! OMG!! :D And the wedges from eons ago.

Keyhole blouse + Galaxy skirt







Blasie Keyhole top (S) from Amber Avenue (similar) | Galaxy skirt from Dirtybling | Waylon wedges in Black (35) from Love Bonito

Hello to my first outfit post! Since I'm a shopaholic (#girls), I decided to share my outfits too! I buy a lot of stuff online, and my style goes between girly to boyish. I'm a UK6/XS for tops and bottoms but UK8 petite for skinnies. 155cm tall short, tanned skin with pink undertones, shoe size 35, and... erm, boring straight hair. I hope you enjoy looking at the oufits as much as I love sharing them (:

Normally, I'm not really into graphics, but this galaxy skirt was toooo pretty! I love cosmic prints! The skirt is only slightly stretchy and will only fit UK4-6 IMO, not uk6-10 as stated :/ The top is great, the material is smooth and it looks really classy with jeans.
