OOTD: Yule Ball

Monday, 24 November 2014
Dress: Jarlo | Clutch: Primark | Bracelet: boohoo | Choker: Dorothy Perkins*

It's officially party season! Last Saturday, I kicked things off with the Singapore Society's Annual Dinner & Dance held at the Palace Hotel here in Manchester. The games and photo booth were very Harry Potter-inspired, and the event was aptly named the Yule Ball. 

Having been on the organising committee last year for the D&D, I was really excited to sit back and relax this time round, and I had a really great time! (Kudos to the outgoing committee, you guys did a great job.) My friends and I took multiple turns at the photo booth, plus lots of group shots with the various Christmas trees scattered around the hotel.

I went with red and gold for my very posh look (very Gryffindor, if I do say so myself). This Jarlo dress immediately caught my eye on the Asos site, and since it was so outstanding, I kept my make-up simple and swept my hair to the side for some old Hollywood glam. My accessories were also discreetly sparkly for that party vibe. I especially loved how my pearl choker from Dorothy Perkins, received at the Fashionchick blogger event, gave my outfit that extra retro 'oomph' - I received loads of compliments on it!

I had loads of trouble walking in my dress because of the train, and it certainly didn't help that it was raining - I had to struggle with an umbrella while holding up my train! But thankfully my outfit stayed pristine, phew.

I have loads of events to attend this upcoming week, I can't wait to keep dressing up, but I have to say this is my absolutely fave party outfit I've got planned. x

OOTD: Yes / No

Thursday, 20 November 2014
Coat: Village Boutique* | Dress: Asos | Clutch: Dorothy Perkins* | Boots: Asos | Necklace: Noviembre

I feel that I always try to take my outfit photos well - good lighting, cool location, etc. The odds were in my favour with this look, with the sun shining and a cool alley near my apartment.The temperature was even warm enough for bare legs, although halfway through this shoot it turned pretty grey and windy! (Major thanks to my friend Jeremy for doing me this huge favour!)

Like what I usually do, I built my look here around one item, namely the Yes / No clutch gifted at the recent Fashionchick blogger event (yes, everything I got was so wearable!). I love cute pieces like it (hence all the cutesy faces, urgh), they really can make an outfit. I decided to stick with the monochromatic theme but with a sixties twist, and matched a high neck shift dress with my go-to Asos boots. 

I also wore out my brand new houndstooth print cardigan. You can't really tell, but it's got eyelash fluff and is super thick and cosy! It's a nice standout in a sea of black and brown coats this winter, and is still in stock over at Village Boutique, a Manchester-based store with online retailing, too. Do give them a look-see xx

OOTD: Faux Fur Scarf

Monday, 17 November 2014
Coat: Topshop | Dress: John Zack | Boots: Asos | Scarf: Dorothy Perkins* | Clutch: boohoo

I'm officially feeling like it's Christmas, what with the Manchester markets opening up last weekend! I popped by the Albert Square one on opening night, and immediately headed for my dutch mini pancakes slathered in Nutella - scrummy!

Despite the huge crowds, it was cold out. Luckily I had my brand new faux fur scarf kindly gifted by the Dorothy Perkins team at the Fashionchick event (read about it here). It's very on point for this season, I was actually contemplating buying a cheaper version over at Primark. Plus it looks quite classy, if I do say so myself, layered over my Topshop camel coat (which has been out of stock for ages, I kept checking the website and immediately snapped it up when it came back in stock). My look was completed with a cute collared dress by John Zack at only £10, and a handy rollover boohoo clutch for that effortless feel to a perfect night outfit!

Have you guys been to the markets yet? I'm definitely heading back for some jams and chutneys soon! x

OOTD: Jungle Fever

Dress: Dorothy Perkins // Heels: The Editor's Market // Blazer: Asos

I recently discovered that F3 Singapore (which offers promotions in relation to certain high-street brands) has recently launched W.O.W. - What's on Wednesdays. Essentially, Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge and Topman have amazing deals every Wednesday!

You can imagine how pleased I was with snapping up this luxe dress at 30% off last week. It's a huge discount and makes keeping up with the latest styles so much more pocket-friendly. This tropical dress is also totally quality, so you know you're definitely getting bang for your buck!

Check out F3 Singapore's website for more information on further W.O.W.s!
