Fashion & Style Diary
You already know I love texture, and leather and lace (cliche unintended!) are some of my favourite materials. I got this 100% natural leather skirt some time back from MNG, and it’s one of my favourite go-to pieces for days when I don’t know what to wear – perfect with one of my many slouchy tees!

Thought I’d share some photos from a recent photoshoot. These are for press releases, such as a recent Fever Avenue interview, which you can read here (thanks for the write up, guys!). I picked pieces which are either already out on maryjulian or coming out soon, and I had so much fun shooting these pics.
Love how subtly sexy sheer pieces can be! Plus I’m a fan of colour pops – I’m always drawn to details like the sunny collar and the accessories (all of which can be found here). The shoes are super gorgeous as well – have such a weakness for T-bar anything!
Here is one my favourite casual tops, aptly called the Field Of Dreams. It’s completely sold out on the maryjulian site – no surprise seeing how gorgeous it is. The vest is coming soon to maryjulian though, so grab while you can!
How gorgeous are these heels?! They are by Zapatos (not sure if they are out yet though).
Bright colours help perk up my day and instantly put me in a better mood! Plus these suede harem pants are so comfy, love wearing them. They feel like sweatpants but sans the sloppiness. Perfect for I-don’t-know-what-to-wear days!

Love the drop-waist, box pleats and contrast colour piping at the neckline and pocket detail on this piece by a Thai designer friend. Inspired by the 1920s drop-waist, I decided to pair it with T-bar sandals for a touch of modern Flapper.
Off for dinner with the girls that night; to Clan restaurant we went. Food was pretty good, prices reasonable ($62++ for the 6-course set dinner) and service wonderful. Good choice, Q!

Was ask to host a recent event for Pizza Hut. Thanks for being a wonderful audience; hope you had a fun time and a delicious meal!
I had a great time – thanks to everyone who came down to support me that day!

Found this vintage floral top in my wardrobe that I haven’t seen in years. That’s what I love about vintage; not overly trendy means never dated.

I went through a phase with cargo pants (and shorts! And skirts – the horror!) while growing up. I blame TLC for the influence. I thought I was Left-Eye, bless. (I’m sure she is resting in peace and looking fabulous up there.) The horrible result that ensued as a result of my early teenage (read: young and stupid) interpretation though, that, I can only blame on myself.
More than a decade after throwing out those utilitarian baggies, I finally felt ready to buy another pair of cargo pants – albeit a skinny-fitting, updated pair (but of course!). I quite love them; like jeans, but more fun, and easy to dress up with heels, a smart top and a blazer, and just as easy to dress down with sneakers, an old worn-out concert tee and a trucker cap.

Love this Geometric Hex Blouse from www.maryjulian.com. So comfy and versatile, it adds a splash of fun to any ensemble. There is a happy problem to this though; guess it’s a common ‘problem’ with cool prints – a good print is memorable and really stands out, but it also means it’s remembered and you’ve to space out your wears to avoid looking like you haven’t any other clothes!
