OOTD: Crystal Palace

Monday, 5 January 2015
Dress: Asos | Watch: tickintorque* | Sunglasses: Asos | Shoes: Nike

Here are more photos from my Spain trip in December, and this time I'm wearing the comfiest midi dress ever! It was a real steal I snapped up during the 20% student discount offer on Asos, and is made of a really soft denim in striking blue. It was a balmy 19 degrees Celcius in Madrid too, so it wasn't cold at all.

Many thanks to my travel buddy Tjioe for snapping so many shots of me in the Palacio de Cristal, a white-washed, glass building situated in the Parque del Retiro. The structure was breathtaking and made for a great location for shooting this outfit. I especially love the contrast between my outfit and the colour of the building!

I'm trying to blog all my backlogged outfits before exams hit, but if I can't, I do apologise for the lack of updates. Good luck to any other unfortunate uni folk out there!

OOTD: Forest Green

Turtleneck: Pull & Bear | Dress: Urban Outfitters | Boots: Asos | Watch: tickintorque* | Hat: H&M

As the weather gets colder, I start to pile the layers up! Manchester hasn't had any snow thus far, but it did hail very suddenly a couple of days back. I was lucky enough to snap a few photos before it got too bad, though!

I'm still feeling very sixties-inspired with my ensemble here, the roll-neck top/shift dress combination is just too chic to pass up. The V-neck dress shook things up a bit with the unique cut and colour, though, and feels super Christmassy! What do you think? x

OOTD: Red Brick

Wednesday, 24 September 2014
Top: Missguided | Culottes: Stradivarius | Shoes: Zara | Sunglasses: ASOS | Watch: tickintorque* | Ring: Bristol Harbour Flea Market

Looks like I'm back into the swing of things here! School has officially begun, and my summer holiday brain is struggling to catch up. 

I'm loving being back in Manchester, however, there's no other place like it. I opted for something more city chic with this outfit, matching brilliantly with the old-school area of red bricks and gritty streets. I'm a big fan of culottes, with this version being of a thick enough material to take it into Autumn - I think I would've died of the cold with my other polyester pair! They're also the comfiest things ever, and I think they'd go well with a pair of heeled boots and a long coat for chillier weather.

It was an adventure to shoot outdoors, having to navigate people, pets and the occasional car! Many thanks to my flatmate for the help x

OOTD: Day Trip

Sunday, 21 September 2014
Dress: Hidden Fashion* // Bag: Primark // Trainers: Nike // Sunglasses: ASOS // Watch: tickintorque*

It's been a while since I posted last (what else is new?), and I'm finally back in the UK, ready to begin my final year of uni. I've been moving into my new flat, unpacking and shopping for supplies like crazy, so it was such a relief to escape the buzz of city life for a day trip to York.

Here I'm wearing something similar to my last post - the dress and Nike combination! I'm really loving my new trainers, which I can tell are going to be a staple piece in my wardrobe. The dress is an old gift from Hidden Fashion, back when I won their giveaway competition. And how smart is my gorgeous bag from Primark? It's super sturdy (my DSLR weighed almost nothing in it) and a clever dupe of an ASOS piece I've been eyeing for ages.

Have a great school year ahead, everyone! :)

OOTD: Sports Luxe

Monday, 8 September 2014
Dress: Uniqlo // Necklaces: The Editor's Market and Kollidea* // Watch: tickintorque* // Bag: American Apparel // Shoes: Nike

So much for being a full-time fashion blogger - I came down with the flu almost immediately after my last post and have barely gone out as a result. It sort of put a real damper on my mood, as I'm due to return to the UK in a week and I basically spent a good portion of it in bed with the sniffles!

Maybe you can sense the impending doom with my latest outfit - I've been avoiding pastels as of late, with black being my go-to shade for this A/W season. I also finally got myself a pair of really comfy trainers, although they weren't the Roshe Runs I was looking for (sold out everywhere!). Topped off the look with statement accessories and That Iconic American Apparel Bag, with perhaps a bit too much eyeliner.

What do you all think? Anyone dreading (my last year of) uni as I am? x

OOTD: Girls' Night

Sunday, 24 August 2014
Jumpsuit, Necklace & Shoes: The Editor's Market // Bag: here & there // Watch: Tickintorque

So... I'm back! Finally ended the busy 5 weeks of back-to-back law internships here in Singapore. I've learned so much and made many new friends, but I have to admit I'm so glad that it's all over. Totally needed a breather from the hectic hustle and bustle of the working life and its monotonous wardrobe.

I went on an impulse shopping trip the other day with a friend, and happily walked away with this take on jumpsuits and culottes. Such a stunning colour as well, coincidentally recalling my primary and secondary school days, which was why I wore this to my mum's school reunion the other night.

It was adorable to see so many of my mum's classmates and teachers rekindling their friendship. I also happened to bump into the 'second generation' girls, i.e. their various daughters.

Although I had such a lovely time with everyone, I did have to help out with the event! Luckily, my RĂ¥ watch from the online store Tickintorque kept me on schedule. It really caught my eye with its wooden face and leather-like strap, and I received a lot of compliments on it from the ladies.

Keep an eye out for more posts, definitely turning into a full-time blogger now that I'm free x
