Shirt Dress #OOTD // FAT COW FIX

This white shirt dress from Korea is hands down, one of my favorite recent purchases to date!
Although I would love to share where I bought this lovely piece from, its from Korea and unfortunately has no brand/label.. :( If you wanna score some great finds though, definitely do think of taking a trip to Korea because that country is pretty much fashion (beauty too, of course) mecca!

It can be quite the struggle to find nice fitting shirts sometimes so I was pleasantly surprised to find that this particular shirt dress fit me to a tee - baggy enough to be boyfriend-shirt worthy yet still flattering on my petite frame.

Especially love how the boyfriend fit of this shirt dress is contrasted with the sheer lace panel on the bottom. An unexpected twist which gives the finishing touch to this outfit. So pleased with this find :)

 Kept my accessories to a minimum since this outfit pretty much speaks for itself. Adorned my neck with a chunky pearl necklace to complement the outfit - pearls are always a classic.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering.. YES I am wearing a pair of white shorts underneath although it may not look like it....

Dress: Korea // Bag: Chanel WOC // Shoes: Saint Laurent Tribute Heels

Was having a good hair day after dropping by the salon - a rarity for me these days because of the stupid hard water in the UK which makes my tresses go haywire (a rant for another day). So yeah, I guess that's why I went slightly shutter crazy.... hehe.

As per usual, I had to have my Fat Cow fix just before heading back to the UK.
If only they could open a branch in the UK so I could satisfy my cravings with ease.. :(

my fav combo of tai carpaccio, truffles & yuzu dressing. HEAVENLY.


Foie Gras Donburi


Fat Cow's signature wagyu donburi. That runny onsen egg.... URGH I shouldn't be looking at this at 1.30a.m!

Have a lovely weekend!

Sunday funday!

Finally went to the The Grandstand at Turf City, home to the many up and coming eateries - i.e. Pasarbella and Omakase burger. It was my first time here as I can't drive (YET) and as it's slightly off the beaten track for me, its harder to access than most other places..

Had dinner with my family at M.A.D (Modern Asian Dining). 

Here are some food pictures to make your tummy growl ;)

Seeing as how this restaurant is part-owned by Dick Lee (he's a famous local singer), I wonder whether this picture is supposed to resemble him in the slightest.. hahah ;)

Mussels!

Truffle fries - Round #01

Truffle fries - Round #02!

My mom's main course - Lamb

I'm not a big fan of lamb so I didn't taste this but apparently this was pretty average..

Also, the portion was surprisingly small for a main course..

Dad's main course - Baby back ribs

Foie gras & wagyu beef claypot rice

Someone tell me this doesn't look like it's from Fat Cow....

Nonetheless, my brother who had this dish as his main seemed to enjoy it! 

At $27, being cheaper than Fat Cow, I guess you can't go wrong!

Wagyu beef w/ onsen tamago (runny egg) claypot rice

My main course!

Again, this reminds me of the wagyu beef bowl I always order whenever I go to Fat Cow..

I just be biased but overall, I prefer Fat Cow's version. This is nearly as good though! 

Again at $27, it is cheaper than Fat Cow so that's a plus.

After dinner, we headed to PasarBella Farmer's Market to take a walk.. I don't know if it was because it was a Sunday or if it was because we got that there later in the evening but most of the stalls were closed.. I was also planning on sampling the food but after the dinner at MAD, I was too full to eat let alone look at more food.. 

Planning to make another trip down to PasarBella soon though so keep an eye out for that in a separate post in the near future ;)

Preach!

Live lobsters at the live seafood section!

Is it weird that I wanted to take one home to keep as a pet..?

Pink fire hosereel's have to be shared with the rest of the world!

Outfit of the day (OOTD) time!

What I wore out for dinner with my family today.

Kept it rather casual since it was only for dinner.

Blouse : French Connection (FCUK)

Tweed shorts : Topshop ~ I feel like they could pass for being something from Chanel!

Bag : Prada mini (again.... haha it has fast become my go-to bag since getting it)

Ring : YSL arty ring (selling an arty ring on www.instagram.com/luxurazzi btw! go check it out if you're interested)

Earings : Chanel

Bracelet : Tiffany & Co charm bracelet

Shoes : (not pictured) just wore a pair of ballet flats.. nothing too fancy as it was a pretty casual outing..

For makeup I'm not wearing anything on my face except for red lippy. It's from YSL, under the Rouge Pur Couture line in shade #01. In case you guys are wondering about the color, I would say that it is a true red. 

I feel like red lips just amp up the look and makes it look like you at least put in some effort.. haha
