I really think white and lace are the dreamiest elements ever existed in fashion. And currently, 20% of my wardrobe consist of white, which I think is a good amount because white goes with every other shades so you can't really go wrong. The only thing that could go wrong is when you go out for a meal, and you drop a bit of food (curry or spaghetti bolognese are the worst!) onto your white clothes. Oh yes, that situation is guaranteed to crush your heart into pieces.

I've always been a great fan of denim. I grew up wearing denim jeans, denim skirt and denim dungarees. It feels satisfying when I invest money into a new pair of jeans because I know they'll last forever. I'm talking about denim jeans, as I feel that white or black jeans doesn't really give me the excitement as denim does. As soon as I turned 18, I really got into ripped jeans. I remember that back in school days a lot of girls thought ripped jeans looked too 'manly', some even said they were 'ugly' so most girls worn only black leggings. Because (apparently) you would look a lot cooler wearing the same things as all of the popular girls. I didn't give a damn what they thought, I've never been a fan of the 'short t-shirt and see-through leggings' trend anyway. It's funny actually, as ripped jeans are everywhere now. And all of a sudden, many young people agreed that they are rather 'sexy'.
I bought these denim-washed ripped shorts from a local boutique in Bangkok, and the cropped crochet top was actually from Primark's previous summer collection! I simply added a white lacy cardigan and a green reflector sunglasses to make this outfit look a bit fancier. You'd be surprised what statement pieces could do to your outfit. Just remember, don't over do it!
I knew I always loved fashion from a young age, but it wasn't until three years ago when I finally realised how much I want to live and grow old with it. I remember flicking through fashion magazines that my mum used to subscribed to, and how I was secretly excited when new issues arrived every month. Praew (Thai women's magazine), was the first magazine that I started flicking through at the age of eight. I still remember how much I enjoyed styling my Barbie dolls, and even making new dresses/outfits for them by cutting up my own clothes from GAP KIDS… Hahaha, sorry mum!
I'm a big fan of stripes. I'm not fussed whether they're vertical or horizontal, as long as they're combined with 'white', they tend to be my go-to-piece. For me, stripes trend is a classic. They always look trendy and you can match them with anything from denim, leather or pulling off a minimalistic look by wearing all-vertical stripes on their own. Although, there are no strict rules with fashion, and what you choose to wear is totally up to you! Just because someone else is wearing something different to how you would wear it, doesn't mean they're wrong. Wear what you feel comfortable in and have fun matching up what you already have in your wardrobe. You don't need to go out and spend a fortune on things that you're unsure of. The secret of being well-dressed is actually knowing what's appropriate to wear for what occasions, it's not all about the total cost of your entire outfit.
Sometimes, I get slightly jelly (jealous) of those who lives in a country full of warm sunshine and trees full of pretty blossoms, it would be a dream for me to wear summery clothes every day throughout the entire year! I love autumn/winter fashion trends, but being a petite built at 5 feet 4 inches and a half, I don't often enjoy layering tons of clothes, jumpers then winter coat on myself! Luckily, I've managed (just) to walk against strong winds in the winter without flying away to another planet though. Is there anybody else who can relate to this!?
Till next time,

I have less than a month left, until I have to say goodbye to summer.
Therefore, it is appropriate for me to share a few more summery outfit post(s) with you, isn't it?
I love everything about the summer, apart from when the weather gets stupidly hot!
I'm lucky when it comes to tanning as well, probably because I was originally quite tanned. So I don't really need to sunbathe to turn dark.
Anyway, during my time at
Phuket, me and my family stayed at an beautiful resort,
Twinpalms where we have booked a luxurious penthouse for the weekend. I thought it would be a lovely idea to shoot this holiday outfit around the resort. I had other guests starring at me, as well as trying their hardest to get in my photos. They probably knew I was 'keen', as I enjoyed posing in front of the camera!
IN THIS OUTFIT:
TOP (WITH SLITTED BACK) - ZARA
SKORT - 17CLUB (THAI CLOTHING BRAND)
ARMCUFF - BOUTIQUE STORE IN TERMINAL21 MALL
SUNGLASSES - RAY-BAN
WATCH - MICHAEL KORS
FLIPFLOPS - H&M
RING - MISS SELFRIDGE
Have a wonderful day,

Hello! Or if you would like to have a go at basic Thai
then you would have to say 'sawasdee; pronounced as sa-wad-dee', which means hello!
I know that quite a lot of you are looking forward to this post, so here it is,
a little sneak peek of my summer holiday in Thailand!
I went to quite a lot of places (mainly amazing restaurants, haha) including Phuket (located south of Thailand), which is very famous for beautiful white sandy beaches, breathtaking islands, clear blue sea and perfect scenery. Although, my trip to Phuket this year wasn't as perfect as many years ago, as me and my family went during the damn-heavy-rain season. So our plan of going out to the sea on big boat to 'Phi-Phi Island' and other islands were washed down the drain. But I've managed to splash around in our private penthouses salted swimming pools, so at least I felt like I was at the beach!
I still had an amazing time there, as I was out eating (a lot), shopping, and all sorts in Bangkok. I promise that I'd upload some more posts of where I've been in Thailand in the near future! It will be exciting to show you some food and places you might not have been to, seen or heard of before! :)
BRB, I'm going on a diet!
See you on the next post!

As promised, here is a little preview of my trip in Milan, Italy!
I had an amazing time there, but the weather was extremely hot! It would be difficult not to cool myself down with a gelato (an italian-style ice-cream) per each day. As a girl, it's normal for me to worry a little bit about my weight, so on some days I stuck with fruity cream/fat-free flavours! The most popular flavour in most gelato shops was pistachio; the blended nuts mixed with cream tasted so damn good! One thing I miss the most about Milan was hanging out until sunset at the Duomo square! Where all the shops and the cathedral lit up, and many people out socialising at the bars!
It's definitely one of the place to be if you're a big spender, or just wanting to absorb how the italians matches their Versace accessories with their classic Prada bags! I wish I could of stayed there a little bit longer than two weeks, as there were still a few more things and amazing opportunities that has been offered to me that I'd love to do!
I've met and worked with so many amazing people, such as fashion designer
Silvio Betterelli, who was an absolute star of a tutor! As well as all of his assistants, all the models, make-up artists and photographer who worked so well with us for our projects. And special thanks to the editor of
+Elle Italia magazine for giving us an insightful presentation about the industry during his visit, and all of the press office team that given me the opportunity to have an exclusive pass to the place where all the fashion stylists must go to for an important occasion!
I've had an unforgettable experience, which I will be taking along my life journey,
Have a wonderful day,
and follow your dream! <3
