{Blooming}


Sunny days and blossoming flowers are a perfect way to welcome Spring. Seeing the vibrant array of colours on floral dresses, bottoms, tops, jackets, sandals (and the list goes on...) has really urged me to give the floral trend a go. This pastel floral print pant from ASOS looks pretty and fresh without much effort so it's great for a dayout. I wore it to Yumcha...it has been way too long...! ASOS's petite range is growing on me - it is great to buy pants that don't need to be taken up (the fast and free shipping is a plus too!).

Today is Bright Pink Lipstick Day (see here) to raise awareness for breast and ovarian cancer in Australia - are you wearing pink lipstick? I sure am and I think bright lipstick is the perfect accessory for spring.

I am eyeing these floral pieces from Forever New at the moment. I wish I could be bold enough to pull off this jumpsuit!

Thanks so much for dropping by!

{Hello Sunshine}

Thank you everyone for your kind words after my first outfit post (here) in a yellow maxi. I really appreciate it! A yellow dress is a summer essential - it really brightens your wardrobe and mood! There are so many options in store at the moment (must resist!)...here are some yellow pieces I'm lusting after: 
From Marcs: Mini Silk Spot Pleated Skirt Dress (here)

I'm loving Marcs' collection right now, here are more cheerful pieces for daywear:

{Being Flippy}

{Being Flippy} Tweed and polka dot

I love the playfulness of polka dots and could not resist the bold black dots on this skirt (and only for $20 as well). Pairing it with a tweed jacket (my first one!) really adds a touch of elegance to the outfit. I bought this jacket after reading reviews from extra petite. The colour and cropped cut of this jacket makes it so versatile and perfect for my petite frame - can't wait to pair it with other things from my wardrobe. I am also loving coral at the moment, and think the wedges and necklace are a great way to add pops of colour to an outfit.

{Yellow Flutter}


{Yellow Flutter} Maxi dress

Yellow is such a happy and warm colour. I seriously need more of it in my wardrobe! I have shy-ed away from maxi dresses since they can swallow my frame but I couldn't resist the soft and feminine cut of this dress and the tiered layers give the perfect amount of volume. This dress really brightened my day - I couldn't stop twirling and spinning around in it and trying to catch the wind. I think I can live in this dress for the rest of summer and spring - it can take me from an afternoon picnic to a night out. I haven't worn these heels in so long, I bought them on a high school overseas trip, at Changi Airport (which is ah-amazing!), 30 minutes before boarding our flight home.. ah the memories :) So yes, this outfit just made me super happy today.

{Come and play}




I have always been (and still am) quite shy and awkward in front of the camera and I dreaded school picture days. Yet, looking at those school photos can bring back memories of some of the happiest times in my life.

Photos are the closest thing we have to time future (for now!). They allow us to go back and experience those feelings and moments again, and remember.

I want to use this blog to document and capture those things and moments that inspire and excite me in my everyday life - from a swinging skirt to bright lipstick, and from blueberry muffins to paper lantern lights (...these are some of my favourite things hehe).

Welcome and thank you for being on this journey with me!

:)

What are your most treasured photos?
