College Looks

In collaboration with my girl, Denise, from Down The Yellow Brick , we're a college theme posts so look out for them. We are revving to blog and we hope you enjoy them despite being so off the radar due to life and school. But let's get started.

To be specific, I take A-level Science here in Kota Kinabalu and we have to wear a school shirt as a uniform. Aside from that though their is very free rein on pants and clothes. Its not really college per say but its still considered Pre-University so I still understand what kind of clothes you needed to get through the semester. Though the outfits you see here aren't my daily wear to school but I got some approvals from friends who go to college and managed to style up some looks based on general dress codes you may face at your college or university. Hence it's all very doable. This would be my first outfit post so I'm a complete amateur at this and at being the model for once as I don't feel I am at all photogenic but I promise to get better at it.

BLACK ON BLACK

I recently got this black romper and I love it. Its soft, comfortable and fits me in all the right places. My curves never look better. Top with my leather cropped jacket and some flip flops as this was after a jog and I wanted to pack light with the change of clothes. This is one of those days I've feel where you want to look good and put together without looking like you had to really try hard. Being a college student can be overwhelming and you don't want your wardrobe to be a part of that.

BASIC NEON


You could never go wrong with black and white. Influenced again with my love for basics and minimalism, I threw this look together just recently as every Saturday I do jogging with my gals. To me, the only way to cope with all the pressure and academic stress is by making up some non-school related activities to do daily and consistently. I'm sure I'm not the only one and hence this look was set up with the hope to make changing clothes hassle free, especially those who hit the gym between or after classes. I kept the same shoes I used for jogging as it add that pop of mint neon on this shiny silver base. The sportluxe has already been a fervent trend and still is, so its a good idea to go look at your work out gear and make them more than just sweatpants you know?

Shorts - Local shop
Shoes - Bata





Backpack - Local department store
Sunnies - Forever21

 The backpack is usually my go to work out bag as it fits all my clothes, water bottle and essentials. I love the look and the leather feel to it. It just adds a dimension to the first outfit too. The sunnies are a gift and I love cat style shades the most. It compliments anyone and it matches my shoes' neon laces in the second outfit as another hint of colour.

 PLAID IT TOGETHER

If you subtract the layers of necklace and replace this revamped plaid jacket with a black blazer, this would be what I would go for on presentation days. Days like this is when you want to bring in  your office game on but as a girl, you don't want to just look like the boss. You want to be a GIRLBOSS as termed by the amazing Sophia Amuroso . I've seen so many different interpretation of the presentation outfit that really you can almost derive a formula. Just make sure you at least wear one key office piece like a pencil skirt or a fitted blazer and then mix it up like with a nice jumpsuit or blouse. Add one statement piece jewellery or pair of shoes and you can still look polish and fresh. This outfit was styled for a farewell outing for a close friend of mine so hence I played out this work look with some patterns and accessories. Some nude sandals to give the look a little more class without killing my feet later and match my top.

Shades Of Cool

My friend, Fran (imagine the puns made with her name), and I had conducted couple of photo shoots since last year. Last Saturday was our third shoot till a long time considering we are all mostly likely gonna be busy for a while since graduating form high school. It's also by far the best I had, even considering that our only cameras were her sister's iPhone 4 and my Sony Xperia Z2. Quick note on my smartphone: I wanted to find one with the best camera and this totally fit my criteria of the perfect camera. Its manual function allows me to control ISO, focus on certain objects whilst giving a blur background similar to that of a DSLR and capture amazing details. Basically, I take all my photos with it. For this shoot, we went for a minimalist grunge as the theme. For once we went for something really simple but not understated at all. In their basic apparels, the models, Cristy (left) and Chan Yng (right), wore delicate necklaces and rings provided by me. They shine ...

Tune Favourites

Double posting yeah! Feeling pretty motivated so straight after my very recent post of my trip to La Holla, here is another post on some of the songs that got me feeling some good vibes for the past 2 months I've been in the US until even now. You all also get an idea on my kind of music which is pretty eclectic as some of those who I violated with my playlist over the radio would know. Along with what I think of the song as well as a bit of info on it, hope you guys check em' out and see if you like them! 1. Blank Space/ Style (Taylor Swift Mashup) by Louisa Wendorff & Devin Dawson This is my current on repeat song that I only discovered just couple days back and this song got 4 million views on youtube. Gaining these artists some attention from the media and compliments from Tay Swift herself! Also they got to attend the Grammy's today and sing this song on E!'s pre red carpet show. Nothing but soft classic yet original tunes and perfect harmony that ...

2021 Update

     Hi readers if I still have any. I know its been two whole years since my last one and the reasoning the same. I am still doing my degree and technically in my final semester but with everything going on right now I am still the same girl with new different things to be anxious about. I am not sure if this means I am back on the blogging grind but I weirdly still feel a need to update on where I am, where you could find me more if not this blog and it felt like the mood to write this came and I jumped on it.     So I am right now trying to do my best with doing my final stretch of degree on a virtual online platform and my weakness for getting things done and time managing hit me so hard. Not being able to be where my family is right now in Sabah has caused tons of different strains no one is prepared for but I want to leave you all also things I am doing to do to try work on it. I am taking therapy (it has been hard work but its definitely relieved my emoti...
