Since the beginning of this year, I have been really fortunate to live my life to its fullest. There wasn't any minute wasted in my day, and I can't be grateful enough for so many wonderful things that happened. 

Starting a new career in the travel industry is one of them. By far, it's a significant change in my life, and I've enjoyed every bit of it. I call hotels as my second home almost every month. After a Lunar New Year trip to Vietnam, I went to Bali for a holiday, headed to San Francisco for work, came back to Singapore, and then off to Ho Chi Minh, Taiwan, and Indonesia. I'm finally back to Singapore for two weeks before my next trip. Until then, I know I have a lot of things to catch up with you. The two-month worth of blog posts sounds scary, but if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you should know that I made an effort to update as often as I could. However, nothing compares to a blog post. I know. 

Let's start our long overdue conversation with an outfit that I shot before I left for Bali. This Endless Rose button front dress was one of my February most favorite picks on Revolve Clothing. I love how the structure shoulders and button front bottom give a sharp military-inspired look while the plunging neckline adds so much femininity to the whole outfit. If you ask me what color goes best with White, I would recommend nothing but black. This dress isn't appropriate for work unless you wear a camisole underneath. But if you want to make a bold statement as I did, a black lace bra is all you need. 

I have not been leaving my blog non-updated for more than one month since 2012 and when this happens, I'll usually have some great surprises to make up for it. You'll find them at the end of this blog post.

Thank you  so much for reading!

I can't remember when was the last time I stepped out of the house in all pink outfit. Perhaps, it was this time when I attended the Vietnam Fashion Week last year? I used to love pink so much that I even decorated my whole room in pink. It was 8 years ago. 8 YEARS, I recounted twice. It's scary to think how time can change things.

As I get older, my obsession for pink has faded but not completely gone. Although I no longer go crazy over a pink camera or a pink laptop, it doesn't mean that I stop loving this romantic color. Especially when it's a pink dress come from Revolve Clothing.

This Tularosa pink lace dress is a pleasant surprise from Revolve indeed. The delicate lace material in sweet color can put any girl in the mood of Love instantly. I have always been the woman of work, the woman always on the go with hundred of things inside my head. Only when I put this dress on me last week, I felt like a girl again. Thank you so much REVOLVE Clothing for sending some sweet love my way. You sure know how to unleash the girly girl inside me.

By the way, REVOLVE also has a surprise for you at the bottom of this page. Scroll all the way down to find out :)

Remember the Her world Plus Social Media Awards that I blogged about last month here, here and here? Voting period was over and the result was out. Believe it or not, I WON. Thank you so much for your votes and your kind support from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Forever21 for choosing me as your favorite choice. Six years ago, I was still dreaming of one day I could afford to buy some beautiful dresses from your store. Today, I achieved that dream in a way that I've never expected. 

Winning an award is pretty surreal whether it's big or small. It tells me that I'm doing something right and motivates me to be a better version of myself. You might not know this, but I did feel like giving up blogging many times. I felt like I was hitting against the wall and I was wasting my time. The blog wasn't moving to where I wanted it to be. It was frustrating. But when everything feels like the uphill struggle, thinking of the view from the top does help to push me forward. The panoramic view from the top is the biggest reward for those who can endure the climb. 

I wasn't climbing in this wide-leg pants, bare-back top and heels obviously. While I was shooting this outfit for Revolve Clothing two weeks ago, the view from where I was standing made me appreciate what I have in life and reminded me why I should work hard and never give up. I just wanted to share this positive vibe with you. I hope your dream will come true very soon. 

Thank you so much for reading!

To continue my story about discovering new brands via Revolve Clothing in this blog post, I'd like to introduce to you my recent find and latest obsession: Raye the Label. I've actually been eyeing on their shoes for a while and finally they landed in my closet. All thanks to Revolve Clothing!

I don't have problems in getting new shoes, but when I do, it's usually a "Choose this or that" situation. That's what I encountered whenever I'm on Revolve's website. It took me hours to decide which shoes I wanted to get from hundreds of options available. In the end, beige is the new black. I chose these gorgeous tan-colored suede heels. The rest is history.

When it comes to styling beige, tan, or neutral pieces, I tend to pair them with some bright colors to enlighten the whole outfit (Example here). This time, I changed my game plan and went for an (almost) all beige look. Except for my ultra-flare white skirt, I was decked head to toe in the earthy color tones: brown snakeskin shirt, olive colored sunglasses, beige leather bag, and tan suede heels.

By the way, did you see the brown lips? It was my FIRST TIME trying out this Fall color lipstick. I like it, but I'm not sure if it looks good on me. What do you think? Yay or Nay?

Thank you so much for reading!
