Aztec Inspiration

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fabulous Wednesday! Since the landing of snow storm Nemo last weekend, it was wonderful to take a break from the cold to enjoy some milder weather for a change. Despite the crazy weather, it was breathtaking to see the city transformed overnight to a winter wonderland. Blankets of fluffy white snow covered everything from tree tops to buildings, just like icing on a delicious cake. I spent some time at the natural history museum over the weekend and was inspired to put together an outfit with a tribal, native and rustic vibe.

High Contrast Bright Canary Yellow

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hope your day is treating you well! I'm going back to basics today with a good dose of black and white colors. I really enjoy looking out for outfits in winter that come in textured materials, interesting patterns and asymmetrical cuts. These qualities give that added dimension and life to your clothing, making them not only fascinating to look at but also just that much more fun to wear.

The White Casual Weekender

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hope you are enjoying your day! Snow is really exciting for me because I've never lived anywhere that snows in winter. Despite this, I am glad that the weather today is a lot milder. Last weekend, I braced the cold with a white ensemble for a wonder in the snow. The temperature was so cold, as you can see in the photos, I had trouble even standing still =P

The Modern Studded Denim

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a fabulous day! Despite plenty of sunshine, it's soooooo cold out there today. If you are in NYC...keep warm and bundle up!! =) I took these photos a few days ago when the weather was a lot milder. No doubt having just returned from a tropical resort island, I was already thinking about spring! Speaking of the new season, I have been on the hunt for a classic cut denim jacket for a while now, and my search ended when I discovered this little "stud".

Beautiful Start to 2013 @ Pangkor Laut Resort

Hi everyone! Happy 2013!!! I hope you all had a fantastic start to 2013 and that your year will be filled with happiness, good health and good company! Apologies for delayed posting over the holiday period. Hubby and I just returned from our big family reunion in Malaysia. It was just wonderful to get away to somewhere warm, soak up the tropical sun and enjoy the much needed dose of family love. We didn't get to celebrate Christmas with our families in Australia, but this trip sure made up for it =)

Happy Holidays!

Hi everyone! Happy holidays! I absolutely love this time of year where we spend quality time with our families, cook up a storm, eat till our bellies hurt, look forward to be spoiled with presents, and count our blessings for the year. In the spirit of Christmas and the festive season, I thought I should also dress accordingly =)

The Fur Jacket Wrap Up

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fantastic Wednesday so far and looking forward to Christmas next week! I would say that NYC has given us some great winter days so far. Most days are cold, but still sunny with clear blue skies. I love to wrap myself in a fur jacket on days like these to shield from the wind and to keep warm. You will be pleasantly surprised just how much body heat fur is able to retain!

Meet the Frenchie!

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a wonderful day so far! So...what happens when the rain stops and the sun peeps out?...French bulldogs (aka Frenchies) are out and about! Ha... I know that it will be a little while before I can get one of my own, so, in the mean time, I brought out my Frenchie on a sweater. I think this little guy has got a bit of a tough attitude, but we can work with that =P

Black & Gold...and a Peplum top

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! What a glorious day in the city today; the sun was out and the temperature was nice and warm...almost t-shirt weather =) Feeling invigorated, I decided to pay a visit to the New York Public Library in Midtown Manhattan.

The Colorful Color-blocking

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! To those who celebrated Thanksgiving, hope you all had a fantastic time with your family and loved ones. Our Thanksgiving dinner was turkey plus all the trimmings...yummo! It was hubby's first time cooking the turkey and I must admit, it was a huge success and everyone loved it!

Waffle Print with Fur Warmer

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying your weekend and are looking forward to Thanksgiving next week. I am super excited and just drinking in all the festivities. In light of celebrations, I grabbed my cheerfully colored canary yellow waffle knit today, paired it with a chunky neck warmer, a pair of tall suede boots, and I was ready for a casual day out.

Leather & Lace

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fantastic weekend so far! I'm so sorry that it has been a while since I last updated the blog, but it has been crazy moving to a new city and a new country. It's only been a couple of weeks since arriving in NYC, but much has happened in this short span of time! My heart goes out to those affected by Sandy, wishing you guys a speedy and safe recovery!
