Mom's Style.

I love vintage style. ^.^
My mom is my inspiration when dress up in retro look.
Paisley pattern is one of my mom fashion favor.  
I was inspired by her, which has also made a Paisley explosion in my closet ^.^
The paisley design originally came from India, it was brought to Scotland in the early 
19th century - where it received its name*.
(*The print was named after the Scottish town of Paisley, where printed cotton and 
wool fabrics were heavily manufactured. )
Paisley print is an instantly recognizable patten that resembles a swirling teardrop shape. 
Beautiful color combination of Paisley print make this vintage blouse look interesting.
Match it with another mom style fashion - high-waisted style in polka dots.
Paisley with Polka dots?  
Yea, mixing and matching pattern is the peek of chic!
Though high-waisted is actually the natural waist on a woman, 
wearing high-waisted pants can be figure flattering.
High-waisted shorts are undeniably chic while make our legs look a mile long ^.^
Make sure to tuck in the top & show waistline else is pointless wearing a high-waisted pants.
 The timeless Casio gold watches never fail to complement a retro chic style ^.^
Vintage chain belt and bag are completed the Totally Mom Style look. 
Pairing heels in wooden accents for more earthy touch.
Happy shopping days!

(Manage to took some outfit shots while toasting bread for my breakfast)
Wearing simple yet stylish to make sure no one should able 
to tell that I'm rushed in the morning ^.^
Pick up an interest piece to match with a basic piece.
Floral shirt blazer is definitely a statement!
Style it with simple bottom and let the blazer be the focus.
Skirt in turquoise is to match the floral print color palette.
Tint of turquoise color have a sweet feminine touch & sophisticated feel.
I love turquoise as it never fails to refresh a look.
I always have time to add some jewelry to my outfit ^.^
As accessories make the outfit.
The stripes purse perfectly match the overall color tone.
Fun combination of stripes & floral patterns really bring the outfit to life ^.^

Layering Thoughts.

Time to get back to my busy life again after a great vacation.
Busy working, eating, playing... & not forget to blogging ^.^
Today will be another busy day for me since i have some plans throughout the day.
A meeting in the morning, follow by an semi-formal event then a birthday party at night...
All i need is an outfit that can fit me running around all day while staying stylish ^.^
Art of Layering is the key!
Mix & match clothing pieces from my closet to style some possible combination.
Layer pieces from different style could make an outfit look more interesting ^.^
A perfectly layered look can give the outfit more depth while
allow us to express our personal style.
Keep the under-layer more fitted to avoid looking too bulky when layered.
Here I start with a basic solid asymmetrical dress in purple.
Layering with a buttoned-up chambray shirt for an edgy style.
Contrast between colors & textures are definitely the twist of layering!
Be bold, add an embellished collar necklace to glam up the look.
A belt is needed to keep the silhouette looking slim ^.^
Good Morning Sunshine!


outfit of the day:
chambray shirt Cotton On + purple dress Topshop + collar necklace Miss Selfridge +

Ketchup Off Duty.

Recently i'm overwhelmed at works...
A refreshing break just to getaway from my daily obligations ^.^
Here a quick update for my off duty outfit to airport.
Holiday style rule number one - comfy chic is the key!
(I just meant that chic can be comfortable too ^.^ )
A good fitting pair of relaxed denim (or legging) is the perfect on-the-move ensemble.
Team with a basic grey Tee for zero-effort style.
I usually wear zip-up sneakers on a trip which is comfortable yet stylish.
Traveling should not be painful especially on the feet ^.^
I prefer travels light with my easy-to-carry oversized bag.
A scarf (in my bag) in case it gets cold on the plane.
We don't have to sacrifice our style while traveling,
keep it simple with attitude yet practical ^.^
Is time to catch my flight, see you guys!

I Love Tattoo.

I'm not a big fan of pantyhose but tattoo tights ^.^
Tattoo tights aren't new but still one of my favorite trend.
A fun twist to rock the pantyhose world!
So what are tattoo tights?
As the name implies, they are pantyhose with print that give a tattoo effect indeed.
I have always wanted to get a tattoo...but i'm afraid of pains!
Hence tattoo-inspired tights is an excellent alternative for me to get a tattoo without pains ^.^
Now i can have an instant tattoo every time when i wear tattoo tights ^.^
Is a great advantage of fashion meet body art!
Getting a tattoo(tights) can make a powerful fashion statement.
There're plenty of great selection thematic printed tights with unique style.
We can always choosing a 'tattoo' design that matches our outfit ^.^
Give the look a little rock star edge with this cool diamond shaped tattoo tights.
Paired them with adidas Samba shoes for a quirky style .
Try to add a feminine touch to the outfit with delicate skirt.
Pleated skirt is a great way to balanced the overall toughness look.

Instead of trying to keep update with the hottest fashion trend,
I love finding inspiration in vintage looks ^.^
Found this lovely soft pastel blossoms dress from my mom's wardrobe.
Mom's wardrobe is my first port of call when dressing up vintage style ^.^
Pastel hues reflects a sweet & whimsical vibe to any outfit.

Try to mix & match vintage with my 'contemporary' wardrobe for more unique style.
Layered a white blazer shirt (here) with embroidery in detail for more sophisticated look.
Bold ribbon belt in pink is a great way to pull the entire look together.
It's also helps to slim the waist on a layered outfit ^.^ 
Team up long flowing tropical dress with straw bag to bring out country style.
Try to balance the ladylike look with a pair of down-to-earth sneakers.
Floral with pastel, no doubt to bring me a softer romantic mood ^.^
