#OOTD: Cool Winter in Taiwan

Thursday, 28 December 2017

I love traveling during the winter! Cause that's the only time I can escape the crazy heat in Singapore (other than staying in air-conditioned rooms of course). I can also do more layering and dress a little differently from how I normally dress in Singapore.

Since it's currently winter in other countries, here's another winter OOTD post from my recent trips to Taiwan! Depending on which part of Taiwan you are at, the temperature is about 20-25 degrees in Taiwan. The higher you are (i.e. Cingjing and Alishan), the colder it is. Do check the weather forecast and prep accordingly cause areas like Kenting can be 29 degrees!

OOTD #1: On The Go


Top: Green Uniqlo Top
Bottom: Black A&F denim jeans
Shoes: White Shoes

#OOTD: Winter Wonderland in Korea

Thursday, 30 November 2017

Denims are a must have for me during winter. You might be thinking why denim, since it is not the best material for cold and wet weather. That's because... I only own denim jeans hahahas, yes, the only type of pants I own other than work pants. Also, I like fitting skinny jeans for winter cause I'm fat and wearing layers only makes things worse. In addition, denims are easy to match!

If it's really cold, I will wear a pair of slim thermal wear underneath (yes, heat techs) or buy a pair with an inner fleece layer. Trust me, the fleece layer will keep you really really warm. P.S Uniqlo Fleece Tops are a must-have for me for winter trips! 

OOTD #1: Classic Winter


Jacket: Black down jacket
Top: Sky blue uniqlo heat tech fleece
Bottoms: Blue denim jeans
Shoes: Wedge boots

#OOTD: Weekend Dates

Saturday, 30 September 2017

Ran out of outfit ideas for your weekend dates? To be honest, I'm usually in casual when I'm out with my bf. Everyday is a date even when we are in casual hahahas. But when we are out for a special occasion or plan to take lots of photos, I will dress up a little more. Here are some of my OOTDs from my weekend dates!

OOTD #1: Versatile Navy Blue


Well, navy blue can't go wrong. I always feel that navy blue is a really versatile colour. Depending on the type of accessories you wear/carry, you can look formal or smart casual in the same dress. Also, it's really easy to colour co-ordinate - I can easier match with a greyish blue bag and black wedges. Btw, when I want to be dressier, I will be in covered wedges or heels. Else, I'm usually in sandals!

#OOTD: Wedding Guests

Thursday, 31 August 2017

It's always a headache thinking of what to wear to a wedding. There is always a "what if I overdress?" or "what if I underdress?" when selecting what I should wear to attend a friend's wedding. Okay, I haven't been to that many weddings but here's what I wore to my friend's wedding and my bf's friend's wedding.

OOTD #1: Top + Skirt + Heels


I don't want to overdress as the limelight is supposed to be on the bride but I didn't want to underdress and look out of place too cause the wedding was held at a hotel. So I chose a top made of thicker material and a silk satin fabric skirt!

#OOTD: Cameron Highlands

Monday, 31 July 2017

The weather at Cameron Highlands in June is about 17 to 25 Degree Celsius. I think on the days I was there, it was about 25? It wasn't as cold as expected. The weather is nice and not cold at all when the sun is up, it is warmer than the spring weather in other countries.

Btw, if you are planning to visit the strawberry farm, it is really really hot there (not sure if it was the weather on that particular day). Here's what I wore on my recent trip there! P.S Continue reading for some discount codes!

High Neck Top : Ezbuy

Kapten & Son; Minimalistic Lifestyle Watches

Tuesday, 26 July 2016

"Born for adventure, exploring the world!" - Kapten & Son, a German brand selling minimalistic lifestyle accessories and watch brand for every outfit and occasion, is now available in Singapore! 

Image credit: Kapten & Son

I'm happy to be one of the first few Kaptens in Singapore, okays actually my boyfriend is the Kapten as I ended up giving the Kapten & Son Campus watch to him as it is too big for me. I should have gotten Campina!


Kapten & Son has lots of watches available but I decided to go with a Silver "Black Brown Leather" watch as I think it's really classic and it would add a bit of colour to my outfit since I'm in neutral colours most of the time! I went with a Campus (40mm diameter) but should have gotten a Campina (36mm diameter) as the Campus was almost the size of my wrist! It's wearable if you want a statement watch but I prefer something slightly smaller than my wrist.

So Why be a Kapten?

[Review] Shop Taobao on 65daigou

Sunday, 26 July 2015


Why shop on 65daigou?
I did a comparison of 65daigou shipping vs Taobao direct before so if you are interested, you can check out the blog post. To sum it all up, at 65daigou you can expect fuss-free shopping, cheaper shipping cost (due to repacking), a wide range of delivery methods, english site for taobao shopping, and lastly see what others' bought recently! But till date I've actually not shipped directly from Taobao before so I didn't compare their customer service hehe.
