"Shades on"

Here's as I promised, highlighting just on fancy round mirrored sun-glass with different outfits which I wore on last Singapore trip. Oh! man, these are so affordable yet stylishly unique, whoever invented those shades, honest salute to you. You might wonder these are like trending for quite some time, why I want to bring that up now. Well, mirrored one are not that mainstream YET I guess. Whichever style you want to pull out, these are just gonna be right there for you as one of your essential accessories collection , proof is as below.  

Let's start with this semi bohemian look with a touch of chic which I changed on my way of shopping marathon ( P.S i'm a well know cloth changer named after my shopping partner experience of witnessing changing 2 times at least whenever I shop.)

Combined my two beauties from Forever 21 and Cotton On just purchased result in this look, not to forget my jackpot just 10$ leather ankle boots with gold chain from forever 21. ( I know right! so worth it. ) Red Belt is there just to keep my long cardigan from Cotton on in control. 

Dress - Forever 21

Cardigan - Cotton on

Shoes - Forever 21

Back-bag - Top shop 

For this look, dedication is as usual to my sister for making me turquoise midi A line skirt which I been longing for. Pairing up with feminine formal shirt on top been my best choice of elegance yet trendy look so far. But I might did something extra to pull this look differently by using all different plain color head to toe. I hope this might take you surprise like it did to me. Overall didn't turn out too odd at all. Well. at least not to me. One little problem there was one side of my A line midi skirt didn't look too A. ( I forgive you little sis, this is your first piece after-all :) .)

According to fashion 101 chapter 1, those little cute short dresses are a must have in your closet. If I can only choose one look to wear for the rest of my life, I'll wear dresses everyday with no hesitation and gladly. Just a dress and sun-glass is enough to doll myself up to get this look, yeah and a little help from this reddish cute wedges from Ipanema. I'm so glad to finally say I found my true match to survive this rainy season without a need to wear flats: water proof sophisticated wedges to go with my office wear! perfecto!

When I want to pretend to be 16, well this happens: my so called juvenile chic look. My mom candid opinion was don't be so childish! you're not young enough to rock this polka dot short romper skirt nevertheless, sometimes for a change instead of my usual dresses, high heel and bags, I felt so good wearing all fancy and flat. Notice my mustache necklace? I decided whenever I feel like dressing all fancy, I'll just wear it around my neck as an accessory because as far as I thought of it, it literally go well with any fancy looks.

Ciao!

"Noble In Navy"

As a token of my gratitude to my beloved sister, I hereby writing this post to show how much I'm proud of her for being such a humble great sister aka talented designer aka my personal stylist aka professional cook aka faithful friend who listen to all my repeating drama. Even if I don't show or care much, just know that my family is my whole life. She made me so many beautiful dresses through my never ending demands and complaints. Here's a literal toast to you for your first ever gown and upcoming gorgeous dresses you're going to make. I'm proud of you! 

Another appreciation goes to bro Htoo Aung Lwin (htoophotography) for taking great photos with full of patience. With this gown and 5 inches heel in glitter gold did draw some attention at Raffles Place for sure. I'm glad I did some photo-shoots with my blonde hair because as much as I'm a huge fan of blonde, I just have to blame on my original black hair, I can't keep redyeing blond again and again. And with this rate of hair fall, I might have to say goodbye to bleaching or frequent hair dyeing for good. 

Here in Yangon city, it's keep raining heavily and cloudy most of the times. I can't help but keep taking my personal sweet time writing blog and reading at the big glass window side with my hot cup of tea which also means that there will be more blog posts on the way to annoy you. Sometimes I just glad that I have found my one true blue hobby if not, life would be super boring. 

 I have no clue even slightness for why did I buy this glitter high heel which has probably no use back in my country but this is so comfortable that I could even wear causal (okey it's too much ) but I did plan to pair with a Jean so it sure is quite comfy. Even though I'm not that short to begin with, I'm so used to wearing high heels. Recently, I realized I totally don't have flat shoes of my own ( perks of having same shoe size with both mom and sister, I might steal their flat shoes and sandals a bit sometimes. ) Recently, since I moved back to Yangon, I firmly decided to give up on buying high heels. And then funny things happened, I bought 6 shoes in total with unfeasible excuse that I'm not going to buy single shoe for 1 year and all I wear these days is flat shoes from Rubi (2 for $30), comfy, fashionable and colorful. (lazy rainy season fever huh?) 

Back to the dress, everyone noticed  from my huge praise on this single piece on every social media. Well you will feel me when you have a sister who is like little bird in Cinderella make beautiful dresses in short time.  This is first dress of her's and my body's not perfect so please gently judge. Not much to say, I pair with gold belt and glitter shoe to look more classic ballroom look, do you notice unusual combination of navy blue and light lavender I chose? That actually turn out nice. Just one fashion fact, navy blue and hot pink been big hit matching opposite color combination in 2014 color report. 

Try it out babies

Ciao!

"Yellow & Lime"

This is going to be my first post with professionally taken full resolution photos. I'm more than happy of getting a chance to meet two talented photographers on that day. They were so patient with me since I'm not a professional model and my make-up skill wasn't that impressive. During my 5 days stay in Singapore, regardless of how busy I was, 2 days was given for the photo-shoots just how much J'adore modeling. Well needless to say, I keep go on and on about fashion and styling stuffs like that until it become annoying to some of you. But no one actually care to know some real background reasons. My only very clear goal of my life is to do something related to fashion. Since I was 13, I have my own thick scrapbook full of dresses photos and some of my own sketches and I like to think every little details of how I should wear since I was very little with no prior knowledge that I'm passionate about fashion. But then after high school, I don't want people to think me that I'm not smart enough to learn some difficult subjects then I decided to learn Science in college Yeah, it's kind of sick, people grew up majorly impressing society. I was like keep changing tracks all the time after, one minute I want to be scientist, next I find myself learning Business. Anyway, there is one thing I'm very positive about is never to give up on my one real dream. Well writing is another side hobby of mine, I used to write in Burmese some short stories and poems but couldn't reveal in public though. The point is I need some real support in things I really love.

Photo-shoot was organized by talented bro Nyi Su (@nyisuphotography). It's just nice with outfit I wore on that day and the colorful background location around Bugis area we chose. Apart from raining at first, it was indeed a beautiful day; I didn't feel like having photo-shoot but just hanging out with friends and taking photos. It's a good point that we were agree on the same page in fashion of taking awkward dolly poses, this theme would be perfect with a professional model though. 

Although I agreed for the photo-shoots, I was really worried that I look so dark and my hair is totally spoiled (as u can see from the picture too) since I had 4 full days of Thingyan fever, playing water under hot bright sun, I had to get help from yellowish or gold color dresses which can make my skin tone a bit up. So it was time to wear my new member Lime color mini girly skirt out and my idea was to match with something white. But to my surprise, it was completely perfectly went well with yellow dress. And I also had a fashion emergency that I don't have perfect shoe to go with (in my shoe closet, all I have is black, black, black and nude), so I grab a lime colored wedges from Charles & Keith on the way which is one of my favorites right now. Even though I bought tons of accessories and dresses, I hate wasting any of it like some people, wear 1 time and throw. That's not the way how it should. You'll be amazed by the idea of how recyclable fashion is. Literally no fashion is out of date. Black is like god of colors to me, I chose black every time I have no idea which color to buy, this particular time, I took a little risk of having colorful theme in my closet, I hunt for spring/summer trend pastels and bright color. I was a bit regret for all those times I bias towards black when I found out colors are way more fun. Another thing added to my look was round mirrored sunglass which I picked up from Far East plaza with just SGD 15. That can undoubtedly bring out one cool look with any cute dresses. Another post will be up next just highlighting on sunglass power so stay tuned babies. Well last but not least, not to be so plain, I just top up one yellow thin belt which was totally very much in use after this. Overall, everything was just seems so fresh from this yellow and lime combo.

I actually changed another dress on that day too but yes of course details are going to be revealed in another post. We rest, we post, we think, we take pictures along the way until we ended up at Golden Miles for thai cuisine dinner and said goodbye. Ciao! Until next time Singapore.
