BLACK ON BLACK

Every blog needs that one classy LBD post. I've given my classic LBD outfit a bit of a twist and after choosing from a pile of black, I've decided on this famous County of Milan shirt by Marcelo Burlon. Surprised to find that Rita Ora has the same one too. Match it up with a pair of black leather pants- that's my type of 'black on black'- the one that reflects who I am- carefree, minimalist, fun... Of course all girls love the brands, it's a materialistic world we're living in, and some have learnt to define themselves through the brands they carry. Prada, Givenchy, LV, Miu Miu... But has it also brought upon us the pressure to keep up with our 'expensive' image whilst loosing sight of who we are? It's even more difficult as a Uni student with a part time job and never-ending assignments to survive in this materialistic world... So I've learnt to overcome this dilema by investing in a piece of nice clothing/ accessory every week that guarantees the quality without being extremely pricy, and once in a while, if I really like something that is out of my price range, I would sacrifice my weekly buys for that. Just like my beloved antiprima clutch in the current post. www.shopbop.com is my go-to online store for these goodies. Concluding this post, brands aren't all that to define someone, it's more important to invest in the quality, the style that you feel comfortable with wearing. However, there are ways to get around to it... slowly. My advice, live real, not expensive. Enjoy!

MEDUSA

Having an obsession with oversized jackets at the moment. Although this white oversized blazer jacket by Zara is simple, the cut subtly stylish! I chose a colourfully printed Bardot top underneath the jacket to contrast with the jacket. 

I love mix matching colours and be playful with my outfits. Sometimes, the brand does not matter when you're on a tight budget. The most important thing about style is you're expressing your personality, and of course looking gorgeous! Bright colour has always been my thing and the orange cropped high waisted pants are definitely on the top of my winter list. Loving the Medusa mustard clutch for a good night out.

Bright and colourful 

Went for a shoot with my brother. We've always been there for each other and working together with him was so much fun, reminds me of when we were young. He's my inspiration and my support. I've chosen the Sass and Bide blazer with the simple black and white contrast. Topping up with my Kookai floral pants lifts up the dullness. I've always been a gold person and the House of Baulch necklace was a perfect piece of jewellery to go with this outfit. Absolutely in love with these orange Nine West Lookglobal pumps!

My brother insisted a close-up shot on these babies! All-time fav Michael Kors white + rose gold rubber bracelet watch and Prada wallet. Definitely two of my favourite birthday presents!
