Floral Dress from L&E

Bag from Samantha Thavasa

Shoes from HVV

Review: Made of pretty good quality crepe cotton with inner lining, its definitely non sheer. The floral prints on this piece is really gorgeous! And its not the printed on kind which may come off with a few washes. The cutting for this dress is really spot on as well, fitted at the top till the waist then flared out nicely. However i wouldn't recommend it for people above UK4 for tops for this particular sizing (S) because it really is quite fitting. Length wise its just nice imo, not too short and ends above the knee so it doesn't shorten one's frame:) I would say this is a keeper!;)

Hopefully everyone has been enjoying their holidays so far!!
Will update again before i jet off to Nepal next week:)

Till the next;

OTD:

Ombre Dress from L&E

Shoes from H&M

Review: Im not really super into the ombre trend but this piece is too pretty to resist!!:) I love how the peach pink blends and fades into a rose pink, really gorgeous in real life! Its made of lightweight smooth chiffon polyester mix with inner lining so its non sheer. The measurements fit me quite well though i felt that the cutting at the bottom half can be more flared, just a personal preference though:) Overall a really pretty item to own!:)

On a random note, im super loving this new stationary shop, The Paper Stone!

My pri sch bestie bought and deco-ed a notebook she got from there and i really really really love it! (its the blue one in the middle!) She knows my taste well haha, that shade of blue, G O R G E O U S!

Anyways i liked it so much that i went there to get a few others of diff designs, can't wait to personalize it soon!<3

so yes, sometime back my choristor batchmates held a surprise bday celebration for our dearest fatty, YS! Even the cake we got her is a pig cake haha, too cute!!

& of cos, the bday girl gets some "love" from all of us ;D

AWW one of my fav pics of the day!! i ship this pair so much<3

& we made YS wear her bday present on the spot haha, TOO CUTE!! Its a totoro jumpsuit!!

i need more simple days like these,

a much needed breather from the suffocating academic rigour.

Hope everyone manage to find some simple joys in every little thing:)

Ivy League

Hola! Finally posting this super late post abt Athena FO, Ivy League!

Wanted to take proper ootd shots but i overslept by half and hour so i was in a rush @.@

Dress c/o; Pearlavish/Lace and Ebony

Bag c/o; Aldo

Kathine Fit and Flare Dress in Tiffany Mint(Review):
Its made of stretchy semi structured cotton polyester blend that is of very good quality. I love love love the fit of this dress it is really superb<3 Hugs your waist, flares out at the hips and has a cutout at the back for an element of surprise ;) It has a slight racerback cut but only very subtle just the way i like it. The colour is really sweet and unique as well, its a mix between blue and green. Really happy with this dress and i bought it in pink as well after wearing this out, got lots of compliments for it haha:)

Look of the day! 

Products used(in order of usage):

Laneige Water Primer (Green based)
Garnier Miracle Perfector

Okuma Concealer 

Etude House Clear Pact 

KATE Sculpting Duo

Anna Sui Blusher in 400

Canmake Highlighter in 01

Eyeshadow (only used the lightest shade)

Maybelline Lipbalm

Its basically a very clean, natural look, definitely not over the top:) For photoshoots/major events i'll use darker eyeshadow and use a shading technique. But for normal events or a daily look i'll opt for a light eyeshadow and just apply it above the lash line. I find that this works for me cos it'll make my double eyelid more defined and make me look more awake as well. Alot of times i find that eyeliner doesn't work to my advantage due to my eye shape and width of double eyelid. It only works when i do a completely different look as in photoshoots. 

Oh and im super in love with the Anna Sui blusher!! Its my first rosy red-ish blush and i love its effect. Will do a proper swatch and detailed review on it in another post:)

So otw to the flyer (where the FO is held), we found this somewhat pretty spot to take pictures! Cos can see the flyer in the background ;) With my two besties seah and nics!

LOL this seah posing with the yuzu fruit juice that she says is super nice and wants to advertise lolol

Arrived at O'Learys! A retro/vintage inspired restaurant at the flyer:) The interior design is super pretty! Lots of american inspired photos, signs etc. I think the planning committee got their theme Ivy League from this place actually! 

& here's a pic with my soprano batchies!!<3

& then this jiahao(my batchmate also) conveniently photobombs us -_-

4/7ers!!

Pardon the horrible picture quality, iphone 4S front cam in dim lighting is so bad... i need to invest in a 5 soon, or bring my camera out next time :x

& i love these shots below! RioHC group photo!! So nice heh.

The girls' solo pic hahah;)

Silly face!

Though it wasn't my own faculty outing, but the great company made up for it! 

Till the next;
