Since quitting my finance job, I now rarely wear professional attire, simply because they are not comfortable. But since I got this Cooper Dress from the Fold London, I’ve changed my mind. This dress is so comfortable without compromising the fit. It’s made from stretch jersey material with a subtle gather on the side of the waist so even if you overeat you don’t need to feel...

Today’s outfit is called Fanta-time.
The outfit consists of shoes from Joseph, t-shirt from the Gap, shorts from Forever21, and jacket from Max & Co. And of course, the jewellery are from astrid & miyu: I’m wearing the arm candy bangles on both of my wrists. (-> if you haven’t known, it’s very trendy now to wear the same cuff on both sides!)

These days, my outfits are all about layering - while the weather during the day is amazing with all the sun, it’s hard to predict when the temperature will change.
On top of my Helmut Lang dress, I’ve piled up a French Connection cardigan and a Topshop jean jacket. In terms of accessories, I’ve worn my usual a-list bracelet with...

Today’s outfit is called boho-arm meets Parisienne-chic - whatever that means! Jenny and I were working out of Holland Park this afternoon and these are some snapshots from the Park.
Along with my usual a-list bracelet, on the opposite wrist, I’m wearing silky stuff in tangerine, a Casio watch, a white beaded bracelet Jenny got me from South Africa last year, and twisted love...
#london weekend
One of the beauties of living in London is that you are travel all over Europe almost spontaneously. But because of this, a lot of people around me, including myself don’t quite realise how beautiful London itself is.
