Working with Wrap Dresses

Image: oldnavy.com
It’s been a while since I last talked about outfit ideas fit for the office environment. Being out of work a freelancer for the past two years or so, has made me a whole lot more casual in terms of dressing up. Pah. Who am I kidding? Even when I was tied to a […]

Puffball Dress by Boutique

Image: topshop.com
I couldn’t resist telling you guys about this Puffball Dress by Boutique I saw over at Topshop. It’s too adorable. Apart from the fact that I love the colour even when it’s pink, I’m so drawn to the gathered hem. I reckon that’s what makes this piece somewhat original. I’m not too keen on […]

Buttons, Sun Dresses and Black

Image: topshop.com
When I saw this over at Topshop, it quickly reminded me of the Stripe Cotton Sundress I featured a while back. They really do look similar, yea? But of course, this one’s noticeably black but the button detail is right about the same as the other one.
This dress is primarily a Sun dress but […]

Stripe Cotton Sundress

The idea of spending days in this heat pushes me to find ways to clothe myself with lighter and more comfortable garments. Dresses are a good alternative for more feminine moods esp when you’re simply going off gallivanting to some mall for a bit of AC time. Hehe.
I love the button accent on this […]

Maxi Dresses in Purple, Pink & Prints

It’s not too late to go grab yourself a maxi dress or two and here are a couple of ideas courtesy of MANGO. It’s quite obvious I’m currently “window shopping” there, eh? Can’t help it since there’s a sale going on. LOL. Yea, they’re slashing off prices and it’s not limited to jeans alone. […]

T2B Spotting: Gold Accent on White

First off, I apologise for the poor lighting. It doesn’t really show the colours properly esp since we are talking about colours in this post.
Lilly Chu was the host of the event that I was referring to on my last post. I can’t help but note something that caught my eye and style fancy. The […]

Ophelia as a Dress

Photo courtesy of Sophie Uy
It’s the Vintage Silk I bought from SohoKarma last January. After wearing it as a skirt (several times, in fact), I decided to be a bit bolder and experiment on wearing it as a dress this time around. I had tried it several ways until I opted for this style.
It […]

T2B Shopping: LBD, U2

Who says every little black dress, aka LBD, can’t be worn casually? I’ve been fortunate to have one that’s flexible enough to be worn either way. It’s this piece I bought from U2 in Megamall one time — I reckon twas a few weeks ago — during one of them mall-wide weekend sales. Yea, snapped […]

Summer Dress Love

Summer, for me, will always be a season for prints. This is not to say that you can’t wear prints on any other season. I just feel more summer-y if I wear prints during this time. For someone who’s partial to dresses, I’m always on the lookout for new styles and designs to wear. […]

Dégradé Print

One of the things I’m keeping an eye on this season is the Dégradé Print. Dégradé may simply be referring to the degradation of colour on the fabric or the colour is reduced then finished off with a print that’s several shades darker than the original “degraded” colour. Did I make sense?
This dress from MANGO […]
