Let me brag to you about my most recent Cotton On haul.

but at a super awesome price too.

50 Shades of Blue

When you can't choose,

get'em both.

Little Red Dress + Golden Ear cuff

This is what I wore for our Primary 6 Graduation Dinner that one night:

A little red dress,

silver flats 

and my classic mini.

But the highlight of night was..

wait for it..

Little Red Skirt

With a white T-shirt...

High-waisted classy denim shorts

It suddenly got really hot.

And then I thought to myself, "Why is it so hot? It's only.. Oh, it's July already."

This vintage plaid shirt makes the whole outfit really safe,

but you will not understand:

No matter how loose and how big the arm holes are,

when it's summer in Hong Kong,

anything more than a thin piece of cloth is too hot.

At least for me, anyway.

So the following is an alternative to the above,

about keeping that vintage plaid top as part of the outfit 

but changing it up a little so you don't get hyperthermia : P

And then of course,

when the heat becomes totally unbearable,

there's nothing you can do but strip down to the ultimate wife-beater.

(Tip:

If it's white, make sure it's WHITE!)

Here's the look with a more girly twist.

The headband does it all:

How it looks under the beautiful Hong Kong summer weather:

Hope you're still enjoying the heat!

Happy Canada Day!!

Weekday night out in the summer heat (II)

A patterned mini skirt is hard to match..

so you gotta go to the plain black, grey or white tees or tanks to stay on the safe side.

Don't worry about coming out too plain and boring.

Accessories to the rescue!!

And this grey shirt in particular has a scoop back,

adding tinges of feminine into the whole look.

Tip:

Make sure you've got some basics stocked up in basic shades

(black, white and all sorts of grey)

because they come in handy more often than you can imagine.

;D

Weekday night out in the summer heat (I)

Going out on a weekday night 

means you have to look decently comfy.

These lacy shorts from Hollister just about dresses up any top up enough for a night out 

even if we're headed to a roof top bar somewhere nice.

These metallic vans just sums up the whole look

concluding with comfort and style.

( the beige oversized top I wore to work with some dress pants.

I just don't like throwing on clean shirts when I'm going out on a week night
because laundry adds up, you know.. )

beautiful summer

couldn't help but take selfies under this beautiful sky and weather.

AH. MAZE. ING.

Just like this top from American Eagle

I got it last year, but whenever the weather gets nice like this,

I can't help but throw it on.

It's nice off the shoulder as well as as a regular cropped tee with an elastic neckline.

There isn't anything similar this season but I found a crop top I would definitely wear

with my cute, white, frilly summery shorts from Hollister (also from previous seasons though : P)

and you can shop the top here.

And finally,

about my favourite huarache flats for the summer!

They are also from last summer,

goes well with almost any outfit that screams 'summer'.

Made in India by Trample Art,

the leather is soft and comfy.

Overall, just too awesome to be true!

You can shop a similar pair by American Eagle here, on sale!
