// p r e //

hey everyone!:) 
blocks are finally over so im here to update this space abit! 
here's a simple twist braid look i did some time back, decided not be so lazy all the time and neglect my hair haha.



LOTD was a simple one, i was going for a concert in school!


anyws im super into jewel accessories nowadays! esp necklaces/earrings:)
Got this gorgeous turquoise/mint pair from F21!


& here's a side view of the braid:) and i realise my highlights are growing out oops. 
time to head to the salon sooon!

OTD:
Cadence Crop Top c/o Twistpolka
Tweed Burgundy Skirt c/o (bought in Japan)
Accessories c/o F21
Shoes c/o H&M






For those who emailed me asking where i got this top from, here you go! The review + where i got it from! Sorry its late :x

Review(Cadence c/o Twistpolka): Made of smooth, stretchy cotton blend! Its quite soft and comfy, upper half is lined so its not sheer even for white. I love the cropped length, it flatters people who are petite imo:) But it may be too short for the tall people! Sizing wise i think it fits a UK4/small 8 best, cos even though its stretchy its more towards the smaller cutting. It features a v cut at the back and at the front as well. Overall its a good basic that really goes with anything! I'm really into basics nowadays haha, they're just too fuss free to pair!:)


moving on to the actual concert...
finally eug appears!!:) Me and pingz were like "OMG eug is playing the guitar bass thing?! SO COOL!!" then we fangirl hahahah! Cos we thought he was gonna play the drums as usual (don't get me wrong its still cool) but then he just walked on stage with the bass guitar haha, S W A G!


snippets from the concert hall:)


& pictures with our talented classmate/new idol! We're all eug fans now hahaha!


pardon the horrible quality! lighting was bad and the filters made it grainy ><

Bleu Celeste

[warning: VERY overdue post, like 4 months oops :x]
Hey how have you guys been!!
Today's outfit post features 2 of my fav online shops heh.
I'm loving the blue ensemble, its ironic but the colours to me are like, perfect for countering monday blues cos it complements each other so well!
PS/pardon my messy hair!! Took these just before going to the salon :x

OOTD X LOVEBONITO X THETINSELRACK








Review(LB's Top): I love anything basic with a twist, so when i saw this on LB's preview i knew i had to get it:)) And i did haha, got it in 3 colours, baby blue, daffodil and white! Its made of chiffon, double lined so its non sheer:) I really like the strappy back details, makes a basic top so much more interesting:) I took XS for this and its still abit big, mostly due to its flare design and i think this is meant to be slightly loose as well. Nowadays i can't really comprehend my sizing for LB cos it varies for design to design, kind of urgh if you ask me. But anyways im happy with this item, a good basic to have!

Review(TTR's Good Girl Flare Skirt in Cobalt): I don't really have skirts in such a striking blue shade so i decided to get this as a new addition to my wardrobe:) Its made of chiffon, quite light and when you walk its swirly and flowy :) I like that it has those cute gold functional buttons and two pockets:) Oh and a pleated waistband to create an illusion of a smaller waist:) The waistband has belt loops as well:) I took size S and it fits me well, UK6:) UK8 and above prob have to go for M:) A good buy!

PS/ Clutch co shopmissingavenue
Glass heels co twistpolka

And tadah, after a trip to the salon, new, unintentional brown highlights.
It really was unintentional, i wasn't planning on doing highlights at all, i went there to get a treatment fix cos there was some promotion but my hairdresser Sharon @essensuals told me she spotted some greyish strands (-_- I attribute this to stress :((( ) so yups she convinced me to get it covered up and thus... the highlights. I must say, im really loving the outcome! Its subtle enough to not get in trouble at school and yet is still visible to add more dimension to my boring dark hair. Thank you sharon for the job well done!
ps/ this post is so overdue my highlights are growing out alr -_-

Sharon is very skilled in choosing the places to highlight, the overall effect is very nice, pictures don't do it justice really!

Some food snippets;
Blackforest Cake, Bakerzin

Bacon Cream Penne; Bakerzin
Honeycomb; Horlicks; Strawberry Fields Ice Cream;
from Udders

Tofu Cheesecake with Raspberry Drizzle; Shokudo
The name sounds weird i know, but its called 'tofu' cheesecake cos it looks like tofu i think? haha but this piece of cheesecake is amazing.  New fav from Shokudo!! I think im slowly liking cheesecake more and more, i used to detest cheesecake alot :x

Im really into brunch nowadays!! Esp those with both savoury and sweet choices:) Any good places to recommend?:) Do leave me a comment on my askfm if you know any nice places!! I will be very grateful :D

Till the next;
xoxo
