One's mind at ease

Monday, 23 January 2012


Back in the comfort of my flat and enjoying the wonderful feeling of my knit sweater that I left behind, and missed so much. Doing the usual Sunday ritual: Planning for the week ahead (Lecture preparations, emails and meetings etc.). iCal has really been a great help in doing so, and I can have everything synced with my iPhone in just a couple of seconds. Brilliant.

Also listening to good music. Some Amel Larrieux, Van Hunt & Sade is good for the soul. Keeps one's mind at ease.

22.

My Birthday was on Thursday the 19th, and here's what I wore!
This shift dress in a beautiful apricot shade, styled to look like a top, and paired with leggings. I really wanted to shoot the outfit outside, but the rain would have soaked me! Ha! But I'm happy with the way they came out!

It was my first birthday being spent with my Mum in Two Years. My last two, I was away at University (My siblings made it up to Notts for my last one), and can you believe I always had exams around both? I'm so glad to have finished them in time to come home! Mummy got a little emotional sharing my birth story with me that morning, and I thought it was so cute. My mum is just so cute. Bless her.

We went for dinner and a movie, very simple and lowkey, but very special. We saw the Iron Lady, which my mum and I really enjoyed.

Clean, Crisp Lines

Monday, 9 January 2012


What I look for in the perfect white shirt : Clean, crisp lines. Every girl should have a basic white long-sleeve shirt as a staple in their wardrobe. It's clean, it's classic but still it remains modern. I can never get tired of buying them, along with black shoes. I guess I'm just a lover of the sheer nature of them.
They look good, and go with everything.

Blazer : H&M
Jeans : Topshop (Jaime)
