Simple outfit for work! Apart from that, I'm super excited about this new shirt that just came  in my ASOS package from Wåven. It's 100% Lyocell and the deep purple colour is one of my favourite shades of purple! I love all the little details, from the little embroidered logo to the buttons. The cut of this shirt is rather unique, I can't wait to style it! Wåven is one of the non-ASOS brands I like to shop on ASOS (my other favourites include JDY, Selected and Whistles). Their quality has never disappointed me so far and I actually really want to tryout their jeans too (have been hearing lots of good things about it...)!

Tailored and Tapered

Shirt | Calvin Klein Jeans
Faux suede panel trousers | Pull & Bear
Duster coat | New Look Petite
Shoes | Zara
Clutch | m)phosis
Necklace | Taipei

I'm sure this white shirt has appeared on this space countless times but hey, it's a white shirt and white shirts are known to be versatile! So here's another way I styled them - with tapered trousers, almost jeggings ish fit and the fabric is so unique! I love leather/suede anything but rarely any of those I could find would fit me so I opted for these from Pull & Bear in a sale several seasons ago. They are perfectly slim-cut, one of my favourite jeans/trouser cut.

Paired the outfit with the classic black barely-there leather sandals from Zara to keep the look clean and sleek, and added my superrrrrr old clutch (almost 10 years old!) which I used to use as a pencil case when I was in secondary school.

I also love the shadows my mum managed to capture in these shots, especially the shot with my back view! The shadow casted on my duster coat looks amazing.

White Shirt & Blue Denim

Shirt | Calvin Klein Jeans (more longline shirts here and here!)
Shorts | ASOS (similar here)
Sandals | Tangs Studio
Necklace & watch | Agnès B.

This combination of a white shirt and blue denim never gets old! They are the perfect mix of dressy and casual which I love and the outfit can be dressed up/down with different accessories. I wore this look for a casual lunch in my neighbourhood with my family. Change up the flat sandals to heeled sandals and the bag to a leather clutch and it would be a great weekend shopping outfit in town with friends.

Also, my favourite Canadian artiste Cœur de Pirate has just released a new album Roses and as usual, I love so many songs in her album and I can play it on repeat non stop. Wished there were more french songs in it though! (Listening to french songs is my favourite way of learning french!)

ROAD TRIP | MALAYSIA - MELAKA JONKER STREET | AUGUST 2015

My dad insisted on taking a shot of us because he thought we looked cool haha.

Shirt | Calvin Klein Jeans
Sandals | Tangs Studio
Sunglasses | Zara

It was sooooo freaking warm in Malacca Jonker Street that afternoon. Reached around 2 pm and we explored around for a bit. Had amazing taro pastries from a roadside stall. Read online that it was a really hip and cool place but when we reached it was horrible and touristy as hell. Then, we found those magical alleys which appeared to be empty but there were tons of street art along it and I was just so happy to have roamed around.

Had dinner at one of my dad's fav little eatery in Malacca around the area and it was pretty good. Look at that freaking long queue! We were at the front of the queue HAHA. Thankfully. The kueh pie tee was sooooo good. Love it!! Many people ordered it to takeaway. I regret not trying the popiah, I think it'll be really good too. The fish was not bad too but the rest I tried were not that awesome. I had a peep inside their kitchen and there was a Singapore flag hung in it?! That's pretty cool haha. As I was walking in, I heard others walking out saying 'nice meh? I think so so only leh' haha.

Left Malacca after just a few hours before the sun set and we drove to JPO for some long awaited retail therapy. It was awesome. Got 2 great purchases and I can't be happier about them. One of them was a wool coat, which I can't wait to wear on my travels soon and another was an amaaaazing belt which actually was small enough for my waist!
