Spring - The scent of fresh flowers in full bloom, the blossom of a new relationship or it's just a seasonal change, a stop over before we get to endless sunshine in Summer?   I can't quite fathom to my need to dress for the season, well at least to dress to the colors for each season. Autumn/Winter for its dark sultry colors while Spring & Summer cheery and pastel shades. Perhaps that is just a way to keep up with the rest of the world.  Here is some things that is a reminder that Spring has arrived. Shades of pink Color coordinate your makeup by incorporating shades of pink into your everyday makeup. Start with a sheer layer of shimmery pink eye shadow over the lids and using a darker shade of pink on the outer corners of your lids then seal that sexy lips with a hot pink color. Swirl your brush into your favorite pot of blusher (mine is Jill Stuart in Milky Strawberry) to add colors to the cheeks. Create Here's to helping you to achieve the sweet ...

Floppy hat - New Look Singapore  Mismatched striped button up blouse - New Look Singapore  Mini denim skirt - ASOS.com Clutch - @shoptwostyles on IG  Block heels - Zalora Singapore You know there will be days that you wake up and stare at your wardrobe full of clothes and the thought "What do I wear? I have no clothes to wear!" runs through your head? This is so me particularly on days that I'm running late.  I try on everything that I could possibly imagined to look cute on me turn out to be a weak meh. A day like this makes it ten times harder to pull together an okay outfit much less a fabulous outfit. Today was such a day that I conveniently threw on pieces in my closet that was crease free. Hide my tresses under a floppy hat, gather my essentials in a clutch and then rummage my shoe box to grab a pair of block heel sandals for this look. Tadaa I'm good to go! What is your must haves on a day that you're running late that you kno...

A quick guide to liquid lipsticks

Image
Before liquid lipsticks start hitting drugstores this year, let's take a look at some brands that are in the market now. Dose of Colors, Berry Me - $37  Berry Me is the perfect deep purple shade that I've been dreaming all about last season. The formula is a little drying but there's nothing a base layer of Mentholatum lip ice or Vaseline can't fix. However if you decide to take a skip on moisturizing your lips, be wary of getting dry and crackled lips. I feel that to wear a product that is so creamy in texture and pigmented, it has to have an applicator that gives precision in filling in your lips. The lack of precision leaves absolutely no room for mistakes if you mess up on your first attempt. Packaging wise is up to my satisfaction. The frosted hard plastic tube may be nothing too over the top and it doesn't look like a drugstore makeup.  Well, it's a 2/5 because I expected them to perform better as the price range is on the higher ...

Bra problems & fixes we wish we knew earlier

Image
Let's face it ladies, I'm sure all of us have our fair share of bra-problems (Bra-blems) and embarrassing stories that we could relate on some levels. Bras of a bad fit  When I was younger, I dreaded bra shopping and because of that I always got a bra that wasn't a right fit. I had the misconception that the tighter the strap, the more support the bra has to offer. That was a time when I constantly have burns on my shoulder which were caused by the straps digging in and was stuck with ill-fitting bra that gave me boob spillage and unflattering back bulges. That was a long time ago, eventually after a bra shopping trip with my mom, my greatest takeaway from her would be to always go for the one that gives you a full coverage if you're a busty gal. Definitely a plus if the bra has a wide band which gives you better support. Even though designs are less than cute, it's still better than being stuck with a ill fitted bra which gives you a quad-boob. Caring fo...

[T R A V E L] Khao Yai, Thailand

I'm back, I'm back! I hope everyone is well and is having a good start into the new year. Even though I'm late in greetings, here's to wishing you a to have a fulfilling & happy year. At the beginning to 2016, I kick-started the year with a trip to Thailand (Bangkok). Instead of the usual route, we added a road trip to Khao Yai to the itinerary before settling in Bangkok for the remaining days.  Most people are familiar with Bangkok for its vibrant metropolis, while at Khao Yai it's an entirely different place to explore. It's a door to its best kept secret of the great nature and luscious greens. When directions & driving is your forte, getting to Khao Yai is a piece of cake. If that's not the case then there are other options of bus or train that would get you there. Lucky for me, my dad is great at both and my uncle is an ace of his own. Knowing that I'm in safe hands with the perfect road trip pair means I could comfortably take naps en...
