FLARE IT, BABY

I know I don't upload much pictures of myself on this blog but if there is one thing you need to know about me, I'm basically a really tall person. Tall as in 5'6, which is tall for an Asian woman. When you're tall and skinny, you get to get away with loads of outfits. Say, skinny jeans. Shift dresses. A-line pencil skirts. And yes, flare jeans/bell bottoms. I love them cos they're a total change from the same o' boring skinny jeans look. And thing is, they're so versatile; I can pair them with almost anything - white shirt, boyfriend shirt, tanks etc. I also love the fact that you can dress up your flare pants by going for that chic and semi-formal ensemble with heels, statement necklace and a nice (collar) top or go casual with a simple tee and wedges. One key thing about this look is that you must pair your bottoms with either platform heels or wedges (unless you don't mind tripping over your jeans or risk 'sweeping' the ground with the excess length).

WHY I LOVE NICOLERICHIE

I adore/admire this woman for her fashion sense and I really love the fact that she has managed to turn her life over - from wild party animal to a respectable mother-of-two fashion designer and author. Paris who?

PLAYLIST

I'm NOT a shopping addict. I repeat, I'm not a shopping addict. Haha who am I trying to kid? I'm kinda freaking out now 'cos I realised I've been shopping quite a lot these days...which means I'll probably have a lot to lug back home when I head back to Singapore for my summer break. God bless me. But before I go and start wallowing in self-pity, here are some of my favorite songs that are ON repeat these days hehehe :>
