The Oxford Boots.

"Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world." 

–– Marilyn Monroe

I have recently be on a shoes craze! Writing about this makes me wonder if i should do a dedicated post to my new shoes, i have at least 10 new pairs it isn't hard to get it done! :p
I couldn't be any happier when my supplier managed to source for what i've been looking for! :) I'm super glad to be sharing these with you TCL supporters cos i'm pretty sure you girls will love them as much as i do! :)

Sharing of those i found online.

£140.00

£75

$346.75

Of course, i didn't end up with these purchases cos of the hefty price tag which came along. I've been on the lookout for such ankle boots ever since i returned from Europe. I got myself a pair there and found it so comfy and easy to match i thought everyone needs to own at least a pair! Make that two or more, cos one simply isn't enough. :p

You might have known i've just returned from Hong Kong. I've been travelling so much this year, seen and learnt so much but that's probably the last leisure trip of the year. Enough of play, I'm back at work, gonna focus for our upcoming busy period ahead! 

Put together my outfits for this trip with this upcoming Oxford Ankle Boots! :)

Top: Plaids Shirt, upcoming on TCL

Jacket: Denim Jacket, upcoming on TCL

Shoes: Oxford Ankle Boots, upcoming on TCL tomorrow

One thing i love about boots is how they instantly dresses up the entire look.

You can see how i'm wearing just day to day staple pieces, but with a pair of boots, the overall look changes! You don't look so sloppy or too casual, if you get what i mean.

This pair comes in brown or black. I kept the brown only because i've too many blacks and this brown comes in a really lovely shade! :) It isn't too hard to match with outfits too!

The rest of the sneaks are available on Facebook now!

I kept more than just one pair, so i'm hoping you girls love this shoes/bags collection we've put together! :)

We'll see you tomorrow at 830pm! :)

How To Wear The Leather Jacket.

In this post, i will be showing mainly photos of how i styled the upcoming TCL Leather Biker Jacket! :)

If you follow me close enough, you'll know i've always been a fan of outer pieces. When i first set my eyes on the original version of this at Zara, i was so close to getting it! But the hefty price tag of $299 held me back. Thank god i made that decision cos we now have our version at less than a fraction of that cost! :p 

It took us quite a long while to get this manufactured due to the nitty gritty details such as the quilted details at the back and those zips on the front. Most suppliers did not or were not willing to manufacture for us mainly cos of these. With the quantity we needed, they felt it was too much work and not worth their time as well. Comparing SG customers to overseas ones like China, HK and even european countries, SG is actually one of the smallest country in the manufacturing industry. We persisted and continued to search for suppliers who were willing to get it done for us, and viola, this is what we have got now! :)) It has been 6 months since i first set my eyes on this, but hey i'm still loving it every single bit of it!

Jeans: TCL Happy Denim Jeans

Boots: H&M

Brought this along during my recent trip to Europe. The faux leather fabric blocks out the wind, and it has been extremely handy in keeping me warm! Black is also a color that goes well with practically any other colors, hence it was easy for me to layer it with my tops. :)

Spot those details below.

They may seem minute but these details are what makes this jacket stand out in my opinion.

Threaded quilted details at the back and on collars.

Zipped details for that tough biker rock look.

The faux leather fabric used is of extreme high grade. Trust me on that, really.

I've came across leatherette jackets that feel light and thin; those will not last long nor will they keep you warm.

Pants: Dylan Two Buttons Jeggings

Boots: H&M

Here at Borough Market when in London!

Top: Olive Knit Pullover, H&M

Pants: Denim Blue Jeans, Zara

Boots: H&M

If you're travelling to colder countries, you can use it as an outer piece with your knits. Anything above 12 degrees will be good in my opinion. Anything lower, do wear proper winter coats! I've also worn it in Singapore (more photos in a couple posts below) and it isn't that warm since we're not out all day! Especially when it's the monsoon season now, there's no better reason for us to get one!

This premium jacket comes in black or pink and is available in Xs - Xl, so i'm sure there's a size for everyone. For reference, i'm a Uk and wears size Xs! :) I kept both colors, but only brought the black to the trip due to baggage constraints and in all honesty, black is the easier color to go with most tops. One of the main thing i had to lookout while packing for the trip was jackets which will go well with my tops as a layering layer; hence this blackie came along with me! :)

The pink is extremely fashionable, cute and quirky in my opinion!

It exudes that fun factor so well. Though it may not be as easy to pair with as compared to the black, i've thought of many ways to style it too! It's a loud color on it's own, so you can pair it with basic colors like white or black! If not, go all out; loud x loud.

Try cobalt or lime, i think they work pretty well! 

If you'd like a softer and girly look, try pastel shades.

I'm thinking soft lilac, pastel mint, pastel blue or even pastel yellow. 

Have fun styling them!! :)

I hope this post helps and gives you more idea on styling it!

Sneaks are up on Facebook already, so hop by for previews!
Till then, get yours at 830pm 12/11, wokayyy!

Catching Up.

Staying back at the office while waiting for my dinner khaki to reach, so thought i'd blog a short post! :))

The pixies were decked in TCL pieces that day, so we decided to take a group shot! :p

Say HI to Steph and Huiee! :)

They are the "on the ball pixies" now cos the rest have either started school or internship, so they are the ones who pack your parcels these days!

 <3

This is Huiee's favorite pose!

Hahaha she does it in all her photos so...

How about a Huiee inspired pose? HAHAHAA.

 

Photos courtesy of the boyfriend! :)

Loved what i wore that day and i couldn't help snapping more photos.

This piece will be coming up this month, probably the 2nd week! (:

Also available in tropical hues!

Think cobalt, yellow and spring green combi!

 

Remember what i said about Bert photobombing?

She decided to do it with her hands this time. -.-

I've no idea what i was doing but it turned out good enough for me to post this! :p

And on Bert, our manufactured romper which will be launched next week! (:

Swee Choon

Needed to get some stuffs for office and we headed to Mustafa.

Everytime we head there, Swee Choon is more a less a must! :)

I remember eating this when i was a kid, like all the time.

And I like mined served plain with just sesame seeds and light sauce. :) 

The cha siew bao which was heavenlyyy.

 Carrot cake which is oh-so-crispy!

I never fail to order it at each visit cos of the crisp!

Fried rice and random steamed dishes.

Swee Choon Dim Sum

183/ 185/ 187/ 189/ 191 Jalan Besar Singapore 208882 

Monday to Sunday : 6 pm to 6 am 

Close on Tuesday 

Ended the night at Udders! :))

Random day out to town, wore the upcoming Scallop Hem Metal Tip Shirt again!
I kept 3/4 colors and all 3 have been wore more than twice.
That's how much i love it! :p

Same styling except with new kicks!

My most expensive shoes everrrrr, but it was worth every penny.

There was zero blisters or even an inch of pain on the first wear, simply amazing!

Awesome pair from Steve Madden! :)

Making full use of the 1-for-1 promo! :)

Pan seared tuna salad which we tried for the first time!

The boyfriend didn't like it but i did, so this was finished up by me.

Also tried their Mushroom Tortellini for the first time and it was quite satisfying!

It's stuffed with cheese and mushrooms, wrapped in pasta.

The sauce was a little spicy so that added some kick too!

This has been the boyfriend's favorite dish after their popular Seafood Aglio. 

I think it's called Crayfish Pasta.

The sauce is a mix of cream and tomato, topped with wasabi fish roe!

Till the next!

Oh yes, sale post is now up on site! :)
