I am wearing quite a bit of black & white lately. Though I tend to gravitate towards colours, occasionally I also break out of my rainbow shell & explore the dark side ^^

Despite the elastic waistband, this skirt is still kinda loose on me. Instead of sending it for alteration, I used a big safety pin to take in the waistline. It isn't noticeable at all due to all the gathers at the back. This is one of those nifty tricks I use since my teens days.

However, I won't advise you to use this trick on your designers apparels, chiffon, silks & laces. I only use it on strong & durable materials; and when alteration is going to cost more than the apparels ;)

I have not worn earrings for years. But when I saw this chain crosses piece from Forever 21, I thought it would go well with this outfit. At the mere age of 5, I coaxed my mum to having my ears pierced. I was so vain (and still am)! Hahaha! However, I lost interest in earrings 5-6 years ago as I feel that they draw too much attention to the face and it's a hassle to wear them. I still don't like to wear earrings, I removed it once we were done with the photo taking :P

These days, I am drawn to denim apparels with interesting details like my cross print denim shirt and this tribal details denim jacket. They are surprisingly wearable & versatile.

How to turn a top into a cropped top without any snipping or sewing? Double-sided tape! That's exactly what I did to this gold studded black top ^^ I like such non-committal DIY. At the end of the day, I just peeled off the double-sided tape and the top is back to its original length :)

I really like this top and I have worn it several times since I got it. It's surprisingly versatile, and goes well with a lot of my skirts. You can check out my previous outfit with this top here.

This origami white bottom is actually a pair of shorts but it totally looks like a skirt from the front! Whoever designed the first skort is brilliant!

Thank you Sheinside for these lovely pieces and blog love ♡

This outfit is a mishmash of last week outfits (top in Pink Joy and skirt in Land Before Time). I threw on a teal cardigan with big polka dots that I picked up at some dinky alley market last year as a detraction & hopefully no one would notice I just wore this same top & skirt last week. But my detraction failed even before I could step out of the house. Hahaha! So I went for another detraction - mint sunglasses, hoping no one would recognize me. Just kidding. I just wanna wear my new mint sunglasses :)

Oh! For those who are interested in the recipes I used for my baking & cooking, you can now click on the recipe tab above. I have been compiling recipes that I like online for a few years now but it has been kept semi-private as I don't think anyone would be interested and I didn't come up with the recipes.

Can't get more simple than this! Just a simple plain cotton tee and a poufy skirt!! Even Hub was surprised by my back-to-basic choice. Hahaha. It was a last minute decision to add on a pair of sheer polka dots white socks. I used to wear socks with heels a lot but I stopped about a year ago. Will I start incorporating socks into my outfits again? I dunno.

It was ridiculously windy on Sunday. It felt like tyhoon! We seriously had a hard time taking photos for this outfit. Standing straight like a wooden block, like I usually do, just wouldn't work. My hair, tee & skirt were all over the place. Thus, I had no choice but to add some movements & pretend that I was "dancing" -.-

Lately, I'm kinda disheartened to blog. Maybe that's why I am channeling a lot more energy & time into baking & cooking. Food always makes me feel better. Hahaha. Just recently, I baked a batch of cinnamon rolls, matcha madelines & double chocolate muffins. I have also been cooking a lot of Japanese style dinners as they are so healthy & yummy! I took on Jamie Oliver's 15-minute meal (healthy mushroom soup with stilton, apple & walnut croûtes) on Monday but took me 1.5 hours due to my OCD. And today, I cooked Korean style dinner comprising of kimchi tofu soup, Nigella Lawson-inspired Korean Calamari ('inspired' because I changed quite a bit of the recipe) and steam brown rice.
