we all need some colour in our life!

I just ADORE these pants, surprisingly they are from 'Guess' and I found them at winners! good ol' winners! The upcoming Japanese fashion trend for the spring/summer season are bright or pastel coloured pants. I always stuck to dark coloured jeans/pants cause it supposedly gives you an illusion of - air quote : slimmer figure -  but seriously I think the bright shades does the job too!! Well, at least I think so..LOL  so try a pair and lemme know if you think so too!

happy 4 year anniversary my darling BALENCIAGA

I gotta admit, It wasn't love at first sight, but it didn't take long for me to fall MADLY in love with you.....once you became mine, we were inseparable.
YES I am talking about my BALENCIAGA city bag.
I think my baby turned 4 this year and in honour of how amazing she has treated me I have decided to do a "what's in my purse?" post.
First I'd like to share my history with my dear purse. I've taken it with me around the world, well not really but enough places like L.A., Japan and even Mexico! It is the perfect size for almost any occasion and it has withstood unbearable heat, to blazing coldness and even rainfalls! It hasn't shown one bit of wear-and-tear! This purse is a survivor and it actually still looks pretty new to this day.......navy blue is just as royal as the day I got it. Ladies, I think EVERY girl should have a BALENCIAGA bag......it is durable, fashionable without it being too flashy or pretentious! It can be paired with a casual look or even a dressy one! This bag is why the word investment was made...well that's a bit extreme but still, it should at least be ONE of the reasons!

ANYWAYS! I could go on forever...it's the sales-associate in me........but back to the "what's inside my purse" tag! I think a girl's purse can say a great deal about them, that being said; here is ME<3

starting from the left:

• I-Pod NANO - life is one grand sweet song, so start the music!
• Prada Wallet - I gotta keep enough lettuce to support my shoe fetish <3
• Louie bus pass holder - to get from A to B
• Minimouse make-up pouch that has:
  
  
  shiseido compact powder foundation - amazing coverage without the cakiness~!
  YSL touche eclat - need I say more?
  MAC liquid last liner - it withstands hot yoga...no joke~!
  Dior Addict highshine lipstick - kiss of pink
  Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on eyepencil in "stash" (a.k.a olive green) - Urban decay pencil liners are the best hands down! they last forever and come in such a wide range of colors!
  eye drops - grr dry contactsss
  bath and body works sanitizer - to keep the germies away
• 2012 new and improved Agenda - ya..my memory is not my strong suit, gotta jot dat sh$*t down!
• my small pencil case - to make the above happen.
• Jill Stuart Hand Cream - smelling delicious doesn't hurt ! 

thanks for reading! Now tell me what is in YOUR purse!

Devil wears PRADA.............IN PINK!

I got my inspiration from the movie "devil wears Prada".
 I swear after that movie, when the word Prada was mentioned you'd think of a sexy but devilish image (well the poster) and so I'm gonna defy that by an opposite image with softer colors and small detailing to make you look more angelic? K, that definitely was not the word to explain it, k maybe cute would be a better choice of words.
ANYWHO since PINK in all shades are classic spring colors, that steered my look into this direction.

love at first sight, my Prada

the color is a bit washed out, it is actually more of a creamy pink, hence the picture in the corner!

DETAIL in an outfit is what makes an outfit truly ORIGINAL

numero one: the PINK BOW in my hair! (F21 Japan)

numero two: my CUPCAKE necklace! (Betsy Johnson)

Accessories you can go crazy with and get away with it!
From the small details, a.k.a bow hair clip, cupcake necklace and floral tank the outfit isn't just a CUTE outfit but  cute-CHIC and with the Prada shoes, cute-chic-ELEGANT<3

cardi: silence and noise from Urban Outfitters / tank: talula 

numero three: LIP COLOR

Hey  make-up is an accessory too! so with this outfit here's some PINKs that goes! light for day and brighter for night!
I have super small, thin and pale lips so it is hard for me to pull off bright colors, even when I have simple eye make-up, hence my brightest pink ain't really that bright. Also I know there are many many MANY pinks out there so I say go explore, but heres what looks good on me!!(I put two sets of lighting)

Indoor lighting:

Outdoor lighting:

 and here are the lipstick/gloss brands:

bright ----- light

Lacome color fever #312 lipstick with Candy doll gloss(japan)

Lavshuca lipstick(japan) with Shu Uemura PK 33S gloss

Dior Addict High Shine #260 with Bourjois Max. 3D shine #62 gloss

YSL Rouge Volupte  #2 lipstick with Chantecaille Mirth gloss

When I wear lipstick, I hafta finish off with a lip gloss, its like the cherry on top, it just doesn't look the same without it!

TIP: if you want the TRUE color of the lipstick, get some concealer to take down your original lip color! I use a "lip concealer" but regular foundation or concealer will do!

I would love to hear what kinda detailing you do to your outfit!!!

opposite colors? YAY or NAY?

grey eternity scarf : Japan / cashmere cardi : talula / silk top : holts / jeans : h&m / pumps: micheal kors / clutch : YSL / bangles : aldo

Being a student, I dress like a bum practically everyday, so it makes me happy dressing up over the weekend to go out, and esp. when it's starting to get warm outside, new outfits pop up in my head~!

SOoOOOo I wanted to make a new outfit without really buying anything new.....after some thought......

my first outfit inspiration came from my YSL clutch!

It is my fav color of all time, PURPLE

and what is the opposite color of purple?

YELLOW!!!

and conveniently I have some yellow Micheal Kors pumps to go with it!

and so here it is, a simple outfit I put together! It is cute, warm and pretty casual!

but take the cardi off and u got urself a pretty chic, out-on-the-town on a saturday night outfit :)
