After a long weekend and holidays, it's time for us to get back to work. The first Monday of 2015 is here, and I'm quite looking forward to coming to the office. I'm not going to lie, I love holidays and weekends like most people, but the first Monday of the year is important to me. It's the first day at work, thus I want it to be productive and positive as much as possible. But, how to stop feeling the Monday blues, you ask? Well, I have a little secret. Getting back to work after a long holiday can be tough, I usually try to keep myself motivated by having a To-do list ready, and of course, dressing professionally for work.  

I'm a strong believer having a good appearance will make us feel good about ourselves and it is one of the keys to our self-confidence. I usually wear skirts or dresses to the office, but on Monday, I'd like to dress a little bit more formal and go back to the basic colors like black and white. People often think black pants and white shirts are boring business attire, but that is not entirely true. Playing with different silhouettes and patterns can give an outfit a whole new look, just like how I paired the wide-leg trousers with fitting collar blouse here. The 70's inspired bottoms suddenly become so polished and chic in a modern day.

Now that the perfect outfit is settled. There is no reason to feel doubt, to be afraid, to hesitate. It's time to chase your goals. Today is the first blank page of the 365-page book, make sure to write a good one. 

Happy Monday! As always, thank you so much for reading! 

Hello everyone,
How was your New Year's Eve celebration last night? I had such a great time celebrating New Year's Eve with my boyfriend, who made an effort to arrange a New Year's Eve dinner at a secret location for both of us. All I had to do was to look happy and fabulous for the night. I picked this Three Floor feminin dress from the 3 outfit choices that I had prepared for New Year's Eve a few days ago (read it here). We went to Wooloomooloo Steakhouse at Swissotel the Stamford, had a delicious 5-course meal dinner, drank some wines, watched fireworks and shared the magical moment with many other people at the bar.

It was the best New Year's Eve celebration that I've ever had. No drama, no sadness, only love, happiness, and smiles.

No matter where you are, I hope you had a wonderful time last night. Please continue to be awesome, to chase your goals, and to be happy. Thank you so much for connecting with me, being my friends, my supporters and my motivation. I wish you and your family a very happy New Year with lots of laughter, love and success! 

Thank you so much for reading!

2014 is soon coming to an end and 2015 is just around the corner. Have you decided what to wear for New Year's Eve yet? I know some girls may feel lazy to go through the whole process of searching for a perfect dress. But believe me, it will be all worth it.

New Year's Eve is the most magical, memorable and meaningful night of the year. It's the time for us to reflect, to celebrate and to wish for the best things in our life. Whether you have a count down party at your friend's house, in a restaurant or in a club, you should totally dress your best to celebrate the night away. A sexy little black dress or a red sequin dress would hurt nobody. If you still haven't had any idea of what to wear on this special day, I have here 3 outfits that might help to put an end to your what-to-wear dilemma.

1. Red Is A New Black

A little less formal than a floor-length gown, but more dressy than pants, a jumpsuit is always my ultimate choice whenever I need to look formal and feel comfortable for an event or a party. It's such an effortlessly chic and sophisticated outfit. Why red jumpsuit, you ask? Well, what color is more appropriate for a party and celebration than red? If you love being a center of attention, then this red jumpsuit is definitely your style.

Christian Louboutin So Kate 120 Leather Pumps

Saint Laurent Monogramme Clutch

Bobbi Brown Smokey Eyes Shadow

Miss Dior EDP Perfume

Jennifer Zeuner Katia Arrow & Heart Lariat Necklace

Vita Fede Titan Gold Bracelet

2. The Tulle Story

Recently, tulle has been such a huge trend. As a statement piece itself, tulle skirt can make any girl look like a princess who just steps out of the fairytale. Pairing a tulle skirt with a motor leather jacket for a perfect boy-meets-girl look, I'm pretty sure this outfit will make you become a head-turner of the night.

3. The Way She Wears It

If sequin and loud colors are not your things, opt for an outfit in a neutral color like :black, gray or beige. But wait! What if we combine all three colors together? Three Floor has an answer for you. This statement dress from Three Floor is currently my favorite. I love the creative, asymmetrical wrap skirt with zip detail and the crew neckline. Such a statement dress like this deserve to be worn on a very special night like New Year's Eve.

Happy New Year and Thank you so much for reading! 

The traveling season is here! Even if you don't travel anywhere during this Christmas or New Year's (like me), there are many long weekends next year, waiting for you ahead. Like many people, I love everything about traveling except for packing. It's more fun thinking about the journey than worrying about what to and what not to bring. I used to be a real-life example of someone who always packed many redundant things and forgot the most basic necessity. Over time, I got better when I traveled and never left any important item at home. The secret is simple: have a checklist whenever you start packing.

Besides check-in luggage, a carry-on luggage is the most important thing to me. I lost my check-in luggage before when I flew to Vietnam (I blogged about it here). The only thing I had left with me was my carry-on luggage when I arrived at the destination. I survived the trip with just that luggage.

Want to know what are the must-have items inside my luggage? Here is a list for you!
