Embroidery Love

Currently in love with everything embroidery at the moment. I saw this dress in Zara while I was window shopping, yes JUST window shopping, and it was staring right back at me. I couldn't help it, I knew I had to bring this baby home and of course, I did. It was a beautiful moment and there were no regrets at all! (Maybe my husband's wallet cried a little)

The details are so spot on and I love how the black base of the dress brings out the rich colours of the embroidery even more. 

I was so excited to wear this dress out that I wore it out for dinner the same day I bought it. Because the dress was already so loud, I paired it with a statement bag and a simple pair of sandal heels. And voila! 

 
 

What I Wore: Embroidery Dress- Zara, Heels - Zara, Bag - Chanel Boy

Unboxing with Fashion Valet

 
 

This is my first UNBOXING video on the blog! I usually do my unboxing over on Snapchat or Insta Story but thought I'd try something different. My friend Asma' and I had so much fun filming this and I hope you guys enjoy this video too!

Here's a list of the items I got from Fashion Valet that were featured in the video: 

Happy shopping everyone! The sales ends on 30th September so you have a couple more days to shop and they ship worldwide as well!

 

A Blushing Block

 

Currently on my bedside table is this beautiful, super soft leather Block Wallet from The Horse.  It goes so well with everything on my bedside table (including my blush cushion), I'm tempted to just leave it there! But I won't, of course. 

It also has my initials monogrammed on it. I love ANYTHING personalised. I think I have 5 or so accessories that are monogrammed. 

Fun fact: My initial is KL and KL is also the initial of the city I grew up in, which is Kuala Lumpur. 

I also love the interior of the wallet as it has a lot of card compartments and a pen holder! My pen always go missing and I always have to find a replacement so this is perfect!

 

Weekend Coffee Run Gear

 

One of my favourite things to do during the weekend is to go out and grab me a good cup of coffee. You may or not may not know this, but I'm currently in Darwin and will be here for while so I'm in the process of checking out some local cafes here. 

Picked up my coffee from Sweet Brew & Co in this easy breezy ensemble. The weather here is AMAZING compared to Melbourne. It's summer all year round! I opted for a cute pair of shorts, my usual loose cami and a pair of comfy sneakers. Oh and not forgetting my trusty DVF bag - my best purchase from NYC last year.

Peonies & Nicole

Just wanted to share with you two of my current favourites: 

  1. Peonies from my friend Asma' 
  2. Silver mesh watch from Nicole Vienna

I'm usually not a silver watch kinda person, I usually opt for Rose Gold or a Gold watch but I thought I'll switch it up a little bit and play with silver accessories. And I've been wearing this watch ever since. You'll be seeing it pop up on my instagram quite a bit :)

Also, how GORGEOUS are these pink peonies? They make the perfect backdrop in my room. Within 2 days, the peonies grew so big, almost as big as my face! They seriously made my entire week! 

 
 

Staples

 

What I Wore: Leather Jacket - Valleygirl AU, Top - Topshop, High Waisted Jeans-Topshop, Shoes - New Balance, Bag - Celine

 

I think for every girl, there will always be a staple outfit lying in their closet that they can wear at any time, any day. For me it's definitely a good pair of skinny jeans, a basic white top and some comfy yet chic sneakers. Throw in a statement jacket and I'm out of the house. This is also my usual outfit when I'm travelling and I know there will be lots of walking. The last thing you want is uncomfortable shoes to ruin your trip.

My New Balance has followed me everywhere for almost 8 months now! I swear they are the comfiest sneakers out there. 

What are your staples?
