EYES ON YOU

(CHOIES Dress/ Rebecca Minkoff heels/ Aldo Wayfarers/ Louis Vuitton Minilyn Bag)

Whenever I think about these eyes on the dress or any other accessory with eyes on them, it serves as a reminder for me to always put in that little effort in looking a little more than ordinary, a.k.a. looking your best everyday. It's probably because you can never control what people think about you when they first see you but you can always give them something to look at--make them do a double take when you're well dressed and tidied up.

I couldn't wait to wear this dress from CHOIES (a fabulous site I regretted not discovering earlier) on a bright and sunny day at the fort and it just went perfectly with one of my favorite shoes. I may be wearing all sorts of blue but I've got ice cream and a sunny disposition and I guess that's all I'm gonna need for a good day ahead.

CHARLOTTE

(Mango top and bag/ Forever21 trousers/ Charlotte Olympia heels/ Fossil Watch/ Project Kat bracelet)

I can't describe the exact feeling I had as soon as I got ahold of these mascot low-heeled shoes from Charlotte Olympia, all i knew was that I was dancing around--probably like a leprechaun that found his pot of gold. That would be the best description I could think of. No. I probably did look like that while I was dancing.(hahahaha! lololol, rofl, lmao, trololol) I wore it as soon as I got it the next day and I paired it with whites of course to make the shoes stand out. It was as comfortable as I expected it to be and I really do agree with the saying that good shoes take you to good places. I know I may have spent quite a few bucks on these babes, but when it comes to shoes, and bags, and sunglasses, it's better to invest on these things, and then you can start looking for affordable tops and bottoms to pair it with and still pull off a very classy look. I used to not care about shoes this much but there's just something about opening a shoebox from Charlotte Olympia that makes it all so worth it...

ROUGE

(Forever 21 top,skirt and blazer/ Zara Heels/ Statement Necklace from Mom :P)

I don't know why I keep re-using this red midi skirt when I know that I need more of these in my life but by the time I find another good one, I'll probably be too broke to buy it. Also, I've been trying to lighten myself and my work life up through these outfits that somehow make me think I love working and sitting around in a cubicle the whole day.  Maybe i'll just keep distracting myself with the fact that these zippers on my heels are so cool and I should probably stop babbling and zip my mouth too in 3..2..1...

FLEUR

(Bershka cropped top/ River Island Trousers/ Zara Heels/ Louis Vuitton Minilyn Bag/ Forever 21 Sunglasses)

Something about pretty flowers-- peonies, roses, tulips and sunflowers have been circling my mind all day that this outfit reminds me of nothing more but flowers. I guess we don't always have to look at other people's style and magazines for fashion inspiration. It can merely come from a simple flower, winking at you whilst radiating its best bloom. 

TL X PROJECTKAT GIVEAWAY

(Ezra skirt/ Acne leather sandals/ Essenxa blouse/ Project KatAccessories Necklace and Bracelets/Louis Vuitton Clutch Bag)

Today, I decided to go for a more mature look by wearing this fit and flare skirt with a dirty white blouse while adding young and fun details like these bright and colorful accessories that I absolutely adore. The thing I love the most about these bracelets are the fact that they can make any plain outfit look more daring and outgoing just by stacking them. I went for a classy (yet you can totally talk to me because I'm a fun person) look and I hope it was achieved.

RETAIL THERAPY

(Acne Tillie Leather Sandals/ Mango Croc Bag and Rebecca Minkoff Heels get them here)

I think I may have found the perfect pair of shoes from Acne. I literally danced around like a kid when I saw the Net-A-Porter package in my bed. I immediately tried them on and oh my, do I now understand how people can walk around in heels the whole day. The pale blue leather and black soles were so soft I knew I could wear them the whole day. It was so light, I felt closer to shoe heaven and I know I will always be browsing Net-A-Porter every time I find a chair to sit on. Not only do they have such a beautiful variety of designer items, they also deliver your package magically. I seriously don't get how my package arrived in two days. It's crazy and I love it!!

I was so happy to finally own a small black classic bag from Mango that could fit my essentials--a wallet,phone and make-up and I could easily picture wearing them with a white cami and a black maxi. I may also have obsessed a bit on these Rebecca Minkoff heels as soon as I saw it was on sale at Zalora. I tried to press the purchase button about three times before finally deciding that I'm getting them or else I couldn't sleep well. 

Now I know I'm going to have the sweetest of dreams.

FREE

(Forever21 Top and Shorts/ Asos Heels/ Louis Vuitton clutch bag/ MAC Ruby Woo Lip)

What does it mean to be free? For me, it’s being able to do what you love, and having the freedom to express yourself.  It means not having to think of all the negatives and just doing what you’ve been dreaming of for the longest time for the sake of fulfilling your dreams and having no regrets in the future.  Freedom is knowing that you’re on the right track—that silvery glistening road that leads to your own bliss.

It’s being able to tell someone that you love them and you miss them without having second thoughts. It’s being able to go where you wish, and travel your hearts desire. Its being able to draw and paint and show people who you are and what you feel. It’s dressing the way you want and not being swayed by the influence of others.

What is freedom for you?

Wishing you all a happy Fourth of July!
