The Technicolor Dress

It's no secret that I love Thai designers for their fit and unique pieces. My dress is from MistyMynx, a relatively newly established label in the Thai fashion scene. With its easy-to-wear pieces, its collection also includes a chic sportswear line. This dress is just that - easy-to-wear, casual yet eye-catching. Totally keeping in line with the latest the-leisure trend, its made of net material akin to those on regular sportswear, only much more stylish of course.

Toned down on the accessories front so as not to takeaway from the vibrant splash of colors on the dress. I absolutely love pieces which speak for themselves and this dress is just everything. Perfect way to add some color on a dreary Monday morning to uplift my spirits!

Brunchin'

To ease myself into the start of a new week, I decided brunch was in order. There's just something chill and casual about brunch.. Smack in between breakfast & lunch, it's neither here nor there. Yet it always makes the perfect start to a lazy day. Plus, you can almost always get away with having an assortment of both sweet and savory dishes on your table without looking too much like a glutton. My food partner-in-crime & I decided to venture out of our comfort zone (i.e. town), opting instead for a more discreet part of Singapore - Jalan Besar. After poring and drooling over countless food blogs, Jalan Besar's high density of hip and quirky cafes won me over. Think cool scene kids hangout spot.

Initially KIV'ed another cafe but alas, it was closed (note to self: always check opening hours!!). Finally settled on The Bravery Cafe although it was an unfamiliar name. After all, I'm on a constant quest to find hidden gems and this cafe, nestled amongst industrial shophouses, ticked all the boxes. Only thing left was for the food to satisfy my palette.

Since I just tightened my braces (yes this is my 2nd time doing braces :(), I was limited to food which was soft enough. Ordered the pancake stack which were so fluffy I could dieeee. It was topped with bananas, ricotta cheese, crushed pistachio, and heaped with a generous serving of syrup. YUM. Also ordered the truffle chips while my companion also had the lamb (not instagram-worthy enough to be pictured, ha). Nothing too special about the truffle chips but it was nicely presented and hey, at least it passed my instagram-worthy test.. ;)

Don't Ruffle My Feathers

My dress-down days often consist of wearing little to no makeup, basic coordinates and a trusty pair of flats/sneakers. As much as I wish heels were possible everyday of the week, they're admittedly not the most practical choice of footwear for running about town. However, comfort and fuss-free fashion does not necessarily have to cramp one's style (see exhibit A below). This is why I always love a good statement piece to help add that edge and fashionable spin to the most plain Jane of looks.

Today's OOTD could have been the most basic of ensembles - a plain white v-neck tee, denim shorts and adidas sneakers which I've worn to death since their unboxing. But of course, I didn't stop there. Threw on this statement blazer adorned with light feathers at the bottom to elevate my otherwise basic look, and voila! All good to go and face the world on this dreary Tuesday morning. Bare-faced and all but at least it looks like I put in some effort.

Outfit details:

White v-neck top: Zara // Denim shorts: Topshop // Feather blazer: from Korea // Chokers: hrhcollection // Sneakers: Adidas originals

Btw, I've finally taken my dinosaur of a Canon DSLR out to play! Don't use it as much as I would like to just because its rather bulky to carry around but all pictures in this post were taken by it just in case anyone was wondering about the improvement in resolution ;) I'm by no means a camera aficionado but I'm quite pleased with the marked difference in quality! Also currently training my potential photographers (haha) so hopefully I'll be able to maintain the stream of good quality pics from now on!

6 months later..

Wow.. its been exactly 6 months & a day since my last blog post on this page.. I know I always say this, but I still can't believe how time has just flown by.

So much has happened in the past 6 months.. Where do I even start? The last time I left off, I was preparing to sit for my upcoming final exams. Fast forward 6 months later and I've finished my exams, went on amazing trips with friends and family in Europe, graduated university with a Law LLB (hons) degree, managed to pack 4 years of my life into 6 boxes (a reasonable amount considering how much stuff I had accumulated), moved back to Singapore, sat for more exams (ha) and travelled again. To sum it all up, the past 6 months have been quite a whirlwind. The next 6 months will also be crazy hectic, with more new opportunities & experiences in store for me.

I am clearly by no means a fully-fledged blogger. Although I've not been very diligent in updating, I hope to continue to utilise and grow this humble space as an outlet to share whatever insights or experiences I may have - be it fashion, beauty, food, and on the off occasion, to pen down some of my deep-rooted thoughts.

Will try to update this space with my trips in the past 6 months when I can fish for time - Italy, France, Greece, Korea and Bangkok.

Meanwhile, do follow me on my Instagram for more frequent updates! Also created a Snapchat & Dayre for more real-time and casual snippets of my life (not that I've much of an interesting life though) :)

Exams ending at the end of the month so I'll definitely be back by then!

Looking forward to traveling & all that free time.

Till then,

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to my beautiful mommy, fashion consultant, shopping partner, travel buddy, fellow foodie, confidante, private chef and best friend!

Some throwback snaps of us on holiday back in 1996 and she hasn't aged a day since then..

This Kangaroo is too funny....

my eye smile was pretty extreme back then.. hah.

I wonder if she will still tie my shoelaces for me now.... I'm guessing no.... LOL.

Thank you for raising didi & I.
(we're turned out to be relatively decent human beings.... if I do say so myself LOL)

Poolside vibes

I remember playing with my dad and brother in our pool all the time when I was a kid but I haven't used it for a long time - probably over a good 5 or 6 years now. Not really a big fan of the sun but since I was going back to the UK, I decided to make the most of Singapore's tropical weather and take a little dip.

Poolside details - Bikini: Wacoal / Shorts: can't remember / Gold chain belt: Chanel / Slippers: Chanel

Candid.
