Reflection and Updates


This semester is almost coming to an end and I just can't wait for it. But before the real excitement comes, I still have to fulfill my commitments and achieve some of the goals that I've set for this semester. Now is the busiest period of the semester, following the mid terms, I am being squashed by deadlines and presentations. Despite that, I still try to find some fun in engaging myself with Tongue in Chic as a contributor now and also in the project that I'm working with a social corporation, Redress Asia, helping them while learning so so much at the same time just gives me the satisfaction!

I am suppose to start hitting the books for my in-class test next Thursday but again, here am I slamming the keyboard away 'cause I just have too much to share. 

I've been bugging my friends for going on a hiking trip in Hong Kong for the longest time I could remember but no one ever bothers to hold one. So last Sunday, I joined a hiking trip with my course mates, it wasn't the reaching-the-peak-and-take-awesome-view kind of hiking trips. Instead most of the time, I find myself almost kissing the rocks and climbing like a four-legged animal, grasping for friction because I was so scared that I might just slip and fall off the rocks. I went home with a huge ass bruise, scratch, mark, whatever you call it at the side of my body, feeling great! I sound crazy but trust me, the whole experience was just too much for a shortie like me to handle. For the first time in my life, I was actually not so proud of my height. *ahem* So glad I almost made through all the tasks.


Saturday, I scouted around Central for some style shots. Maybe it was because of the location, the people I manage to shoot there was much open to the style shot concept. Also, the fact that I am starting to open up myself and start having casual talks with strangers is just amazing. I love how the things I am doing now is slowly making me learn and making me a better person. *cough* Of course there's a slight exaggeration there, I did not just become a whole better person, but you'll get what I mean if you understand the satisfaction that you get from the job or task you're doing. 


Good food on weekends? Tim Ho Wan and Mou Mou Club! 

Many more to-dos on the list, such as US visa and the Shop that I have promised to update, which I obviously haven't. More style scouting around Central this weekend, but here's the shots I've taken on Sunday. Few scenery shots to take for another project that I recently agreed to join and also, of course to study for my test. Pfft!

To sum it up, lots of great things are coming towards my way and I need to start appreciating every single bit and extract the essence of fun from doing all of it. Don't ever compare yourself with others, there's always a loss when you gain something.

What's On Your Feet This Fall?

It's been a dreadful week and I'm glad that it has come to an end and here it is, my lovely weekend! Though I have to confess, this is the first time that I tried making no plans for it 'cause I know my academic workload is not quite done yet.

Anyway, all I have been thinking of this week was about this topic that I am going to share and what good food to have this weekend, typical me.

I've been longing to write about these footwear but what I've been finding was the name of the footwear and finally, in a week, I came across the names. That week, just had to be the week when I'm busy preparing for my mid terms, life.

Slippers from Topshop; worn here, the missing shoe found!


Slippers or some may call it loafers, is one of my new additions this fall. When I shop, there are a few reasons that I use to convince myself that it would be a good deal. In this case, I picked it because it reminded me a bit of Michael Jackson and my instinct told me that this is the item that I should get at that time.

As accurate as my instinct could be, I came across the Christian Louboutin Rollerball Spikes Loafers right after I got mine. There is a slight different, the front flap of slippers is actually shallower than a proper loafer design.

Wicked isn't it? This also reminds me of my spikey.

Chelsea boots is the it winter footwear this year. This of course is on my wishlist right now, *hint hint*.

My ideal Chelsea boot, much similar to Dr Martens 2976. Next up is also one DIY project I've found some time ago and have been itching to share!



Do you smell a DIY project from this picture? I do! So here you go, a DIY Sparkly Boots done by Steph and Trish from Le.Fanciulle.

The glittery trend has been going on for quite some time now, since it's a really simple and cheap DIY. I reckon it could even be done on your old pair of sneakers, cue from Miu Miu Fall 2011 Glitter Sneakers. If you happen to be one those who needs to rely on a tutorial for the sneakers, no fret, here's one!

So, what's on your feet this fall?

Despite having to go through all the troubles to leave the credits and source everywhere for the right information to share about what I love, it's worth it after all. As cliche as it may sound, sharing is caring and at the same time, I get to stumble upon so many more wonderful, inspiring blogs!

Next week isn't going to be any easier and hence my apologies if I don't update as frequent as I would want to.

Sunny Saturday


Two days ago, after visiting one of the favorite personal blogs of my close friend's, I decided to write something non-food related and funny. Well, it's evident that I realise my life has been all about food and boring stuff, like spending time in the library, since there wasn't any unusual updates. So I think that maybe I should just stick to the tagline of my blog, food.fashion.fotography.

Today was just another day where I woke up to Vogue US to check out Paris Fashion Week's Street Style album by Phil Oh. I stumbled upon Peony Lim's picture in the album and googled her right away. Although the picture qualities aren't great but I do love her style. It's a mix and match of high end brand's item plus H&M, vintage and some items that she scouted across Asia. Definitely a blog worth checking out.

Here's a blogger slash photographer whom I look up to, Shin from Park and Cube. These are the people who actually inspires me to do what I'm doing now, but better; Constantly seeking room for improvements. On the downside, they're also a distractions. Sadly to say, I still need more discipline to prioritise what's important and what can wait. Don't get me wrong, I am not blaming these blogs and neither are they a bad distraction, they're one of the most beautiful distractions ever.

For more blogs that I personally like, here's a post on Tongue in Chic that I did.

Had breakfast with a bunch of friends this morning with some small talk. I dressed up a little to share some style shots since I haven't did it for a really long time.





Shirt: H&M
Hight-waisted shorts: Monki
Flats: H&M
Necklace: Pull & Bear
Watch: Casio

I decided to play around with some colours after picking out the yellow shirt from my closet. All thanks to Veen for helping with the shots!

Singapore Solo Trip: Mission Accomplished


Back from a 3-day-2-night solo trip in Singapore, catched up with my college mates and talked fashion with my friend who's now in Bunka.

I was loitering around these few websites just now, busy getting inspired.
