Casual Outfits Lookbook

WASHED OUT
Thanks to youtubers like IAMKARENO and TheLineUp, this trick of knotting up your shirt has been fully implemented into how I dress most of the time. Sometimes, I feel like tucking into your jeans can take up unnecessary time, particularly if you're always trying to get just the right amount of fabric to tuck in to achieve that balance in your looks. Frankly, I can get real sick of it so I adopted this knotting hack so much this year than I ever did before. Whilst its nothing new, it timelessly adjust your outfit's proportion, especially for petite ladies. This trick can even be done at the back of tee just to mix things up. I am also madly in love with these jeans I got from H&M Coachella 2017 Line as its booty fitted with dainty embroidaries. It makes my butt look really good given I'm usually on the flatter side in that department and that's really saying something. 


MELLOW YELLOW
Contrary to the name, this is a pretty loud shirt with mood lifting powers. I wear this and I feel like I'm emitting joy and energy. Bonus points also for just making me look glowy. I got this from back home in KK at a consignment shop near my home for a pretty good price of RM36. I was hunting this colour for a shirt forever, especially with just-above-the-elbows sleeves. I've just been rocking a number of shirts lately because it makes such a good transition from a home outfit to going out with just a switch of pants. With just how loud and oversized this shirt alone is, I wanted to spotlight it even more by keeping everything simple and fitted with my trusty essentials of black pants and white shoes. It also makes for a great conversation starter and brightens every room you enter in a snap.

NETS & FLOWERS
I am absolutely in LOVE with this pair of fishnet socks because ever since its emergence on Instagram, I just love that street edge it gives. Adding this on immediately makes it look like you gave extra thought to putting your look together without any hassle. Huge thanks to my friend Chan Yng for gifting this to me; I am psyched with the looks I'll come up with it. I have really been into embroidered clothes if you guys can get the hint and I bought the pastel pink version to twin with my Mum who has the black version of this shirt. I like how its so simple with just a single pretty detail on it and how subtly feminine I feel in it. 


THE UNIFORM
We all have it. A set of clothes that we always keep in mind for those days where we can't bother to decide what to wear. This would be one of my favorite look to pull off for those days I am particularly lazy and it's my spin on the classic shirt and jeans combo. Like a lot of people, I think high-waisted jeans looks great on everyone and these pair are no different. I've also finally cut off the cuffs as they were a tad bit too long for me and left it frayed end to further personalize it. Huge hats off to my Mum for getting me this stripe shirt from her USA trip because I worn the heck out of it. Its so lightweight and breathable that it makes walking all over campus a breeze. Even better was that it was on sale. In addition, my Mum even got me this simple dark navy leather backpack from her last Korea trip that I have been searching forever. I nearly thought I would never find a casual backpack for my taste till she pulled this one on me. It's just those mother instincts you know, they always know when and what you need. I just rock this outfit a lot lately given I can be out doing school, grocery shopping or other things feeling so comfortable and cute.

And that concludes my lookbook. Shoutout to my good friend Dharsh who took the first 3 of these photos and Priscilla who took the last one, I can't thank you enough. Its been a couple years since the last lookbook so I hope you guys enjoy the aesthetic I went with this time as well as gained some inspiration. I tried to go for a more editorial theme with editing but noticed I'm serving you guys with a lot of side eye looks this time. I just rolled with it because I really didn't want to delay this post any longer. I also think a lot of these looks are super achievable given how comfy and simple they are without them being too understated. Hope life is doing well so far for you and I'll see you guys in the next one. Ciao for now!

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...

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 ...

Haul+Review: Beauty Care Edition II

THE FACE SHOP GREEN TEA FACE MASK The cool thing about masks from The Face Shop is that you can find ones that are real cheap, like around RM6 cheap. Of course for one sheet you may think it isn't exactly a steal but in comparison to most brands in drugstores like Watson and Guardian, its far better. There is also something non-sticky and easily absorbed about their formulas that makes this a treat from mother nature herself. This one is meant to soothe irritation and revitalises your skin. I usually stock on this when my face is having its occasional red breakout and it does its job decently. Better if you popped this out from the fridge. My skin feels really nice to the touch and I always feel a sense of satisfaction when an ugly bump shrinks down considerably. MEDIHEAL I.P.I LIGHTMAX MASK This one offers, you guess it, brightening effect with some moisture enhancement. I specifically used it on a very particular busy day where my skin just felt exhausted and du...
