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!

Updates + Big Announcement

I thought I start off how dormant this blog has been with a good ol' update post. Cause there's nothing like going back in the blogger grind than just telling y'all what's been up since the last one. It's been a year since that post so ya girl has went through a whole LOT. I am now finally in my first year of degree, I got into the high committee for my DJ Club, I've been more creative with editing photos (check it out on the gram @twistlist ) and moved to a better apartment where I can finally COOK along with dope housemates. Through all the stress and never ending work I got from school, life honestly has been really good to me and I'm just grateful to be where I am. Won't lie though; I had my dips this past year with adulting, getting things together and balancing it all. Self deprecation is a habit I am trying to curb and not do as often since its sort of my coping mechanism to stress. We are not about that this year, not anymore. I'...

Haul+Review: Beauty Edition III

BIORE UV AQUA RICH SUNSCREEN I always enter the sunscreen section of drugstore with some concerns. Its just tough when you're oily in one area and not really in others while trying to get a sunscreen that accommodates those two in one face. While being such a integral part of skincare, it is also sometimes the least thoroughly thought of product unless you were off on some tropical getaway. You might think that SPF found in your bb cream to be a great add on but it doesn't mean you can depend exclusively to it as your sun protection even if you use it daily. It just won't stand up to a regular sunscreen. However Biore seem to have a range of sunscreens to cater to what you're looking for so I bought this one. I don't have the original packaging but I do remember that it promises a semi matte finish and no lingering white cast. Which I'm happy to report that it isn't causing me breakouts or leaving me looking like a ghost. It also seem to be well aft...

The Bean Factory

At home, I am a study chameleon. I not only rarely use a table and chair, I can sit on floors with books on sofa or beds or just using beds for hours. Basically, you won't find me on a table and chair unless I go out to study. For a change of environment with the hopes of getting more done than by myself, I go out mostly with a friend to find just how many cafes aside from Starbucks and Coffee Bean have a working environment that allows us enjoy a good drink beside our notes and math frustrations. So far my reoccurring haunt as of late is The Bean Factory. Shoutout to Chan Yng for introducing this cool place to me. Decked out in a rustic with a dab of modern minimalism decor, this cool cafe is located on the first floor at a corner on one of the blocks at Lido Plaza. The seating area is basically sort of split in to two where one area is black comfy leather chairs and brown brick walls that for some reason makes you feel at home. The other area are some high rise table and cha...
