Happy Monday everyone! 

It's time to get back to work! Wearing black and white on Monday has become one of my fashion habits. Although, I don't need to dress up in suits and slacks for work every day, I love how a formal attire lifts my motivation for having a productive day. It creates such a great energy from inside out. 

If this wide-legged pants and collar-necked shirt makes me look like a lawyer (or maybe an accountant), the black culottes and white ruffle-necked shirt turn me into a buyer or a journalist. Agree? It's a serious but not too serious look. The more I wear black and white, the more I fall in love with the versatility of a classic colors-combo. The turn me into a buyer or a journalist. Agree? It's a serious but not too serious look. The more I wear black and white, the more I fall in love with the versatility of a classic colors-combo. The black culottes add a fun, casual and youthful element to most outfits if worn with flats. I chose to wear them with high heels to achieve a polished, professional, and stylish appearance. 

People often think black and white are boring colors. I don't think so. I believe there are many different ways to wear them without looking too boring. In my case, instead of typical long pants and collared shirt, I went adventurous with cropped pants and a ruffled- collar blouse and replaced closed-toe heels with striking octagon color block sandals. It works for me! I guess, it's not about the colors, it's about how to wear them creatively. 

Do you love wearing black and white too? What are your thoughts on this classic style?

It's #nail time everyone! 

Regardless of the season of the year, I'll always make sure my nails look good. It's strange that I had never paid so much attention to my nails before, but once I started doing it, it became quite addictive. I began to get my nail art done almost two years ago, once every month. Each month, my manicurist  and I will come up with different designs to match festivals or the seasons. 

Here are some of my nail art designs for Spring and Summer.

After two weeks in cold and windy Northern Vietnam, I'm finally back to the sunny little red dot. The first thing I wanted to do was to wear something as light as possible. Something cool and airy to remind me how much I missed the heat and sunshine in Singapore.

While putting all my trenchcoats and sweaters away, I found this Paper Thin Skirt in my closet. I bought it in June of last year, and it still has a price tag on it. Still. As its name suggests, the skirt is as thin as paper and wraps with an overlay and solid trimming along the waist and hem. What attracts me about this skirt is the Cameo Holographic printed pencil skirt as the first layer. I love how it provokes a curiosity of what's underneath the white chiffon wraps when I walk and gives a colorful surprise to the street-lookers. I paired this skirt with a chiffon tank top as I love the feeling of chiffon flowing on my body. It feels as soft and tender as the white clouds. Then, I added a beautiful rainbow in the clouds to create my colorful dream. 

Let's me tell you more about it. 

I dreamed of having a pair of Valentino heels for years. When I first saw these multicolor rockstud pumps on LuisaViaroma's website, I was completely head over heel in love with them. I tried to find many different reasons to justify spending over a thousand dollars on a pair of shoes. At last, I ordered, but had to wait for almost four months as the shoes were not available online.  Right before I flew to Vietnam, the shoes were delivered to my doorstep. I couldn't be more excited to bring the rainbow pumps out with me when I came back to Singapore. These photos tell you a part of my dream.

It is a pretty dream, isn't it?

Thank you so much for reading! Hope your dreams come true one day!
