Caramel gold?

Last month after my finals, I wanted to pamper myself so I wanted to get a hair makeover. I didn't want to change too much this time because the last time I chopped my long hair off into a short bob. Yes I did it without much thinking, I wonder why I was so impulsive back then. I've always admired Jessica Alba & Jennifer Aniston's highlights because they both have medium hair length and a slightly tanner skin tone. So I went on pinterest and pinned tons of hair pictures and brought it to the hair saloon with me. Seeing as I have never been to a hair salon in Adelaide before, (yes I've been here for two years and I never get my hair done at all, fascinating or what?) I googled hair salons in Adelaide and did some research. BUT, I didn't went to any of that because all of them were full and I was so anxious I couldn't wait any longer. So I went to Rundle Mall and walked into every possible hair salon I can find to enquire. And I was quite happy with one of the place I found, because the hairstylist completely understood what I want and explained thoroughly the process of what she's planning to do. 

Anyway, I made an appointment for the next day and completely in love with the results! Plus she blow dried my hair so it was so bouncy I felt like a princess. :p

But few of my friends reckoned the caramel highlights was too gold on me. And now I was thinking to re-dye it again with a darker colour. Some other friends thought it looks nice so now I'm in a dilemma state. 

Do you think this suits me? I need opinions. Gah

Navy is the new black?

A very brief outfit post. Just wanted to share my new found love for navy. 

It all started out from here... So that day I was looking at my wardrobe and realized navy has been my 'color' without even noticing it. I kept buying navy color items and I thought pink or black was my favourite. Ha, I guess not now. :p

Day 1 outfit

Wearing a navy textured blazer from Asos. It has colorful linings overall the blazer, too cute! Click in the link and you'll see more details from the site. I paired it with my Tommy Hilfiger knitted cable top (my absolute favourite, I wish I have the whole range of colours!) and a white collar top to go for a semi casual look. 

Day 2 outfit

Wearing a jacket from Cotton On in navy. 

With my Hollister cable knitted top and white collared top underneath it again. Paired it with a baby pink and blue colored roman inspired necklace. 

I wore a comfy thick Zara leggings with it because it was freezing out that day. I did the same with my outfit on day 1.

A zoomed in pic. :) 

Mix & match is fun. Hey, saves money too! I shall add this point to one of my effective money saving method. :p

What about you? What's your new favourite colour?

Winter time - The black wool coat

It's still winter and I needed some inspiration. So I created three different sets of outfits to match with the essential item in every winter, the black wool coat. 

1.Office wear

2.Night out 

3.Day time 

The coat I chose is by Vince. Here's the link if you're interested to purchase that coat. Firstly, let me warn you, it's not cheap...else I would've bought it already. :p This coat is like the perfect coat I have been imagined. Too bad it's way out of my budget. If you can afford it, please get it! It's a staple item in every women's wardrobe and I doubt you can't find anything to match with it in your whole closet!

As we see that the coat is way overpriced, I found some similar ones and they're all within $150 AUD. 

This coat has some unique elements on it. It has the quilted pleather details on its sleeves, rocker chics will love it! ;)

Here's the link to purchase this coat. 

This is from topshop. The only difference between this and Vince's is the buttons! If you can choose to ignore the buttons, ignore it! I personally didn't really like buttons so I always leave my coats unbuttoned. Sometimes I think it looks more stylish because I wanted to show what I'm wearing underneath. Or else what's the point in wasting our time matching outfits with our coats if we're buttoning up anyway? :) 

Gotta go do more research and will keep this blog updated.

Trench coat day 2

Sunny day out here in Adelaide. But still cold under the shades, so I brought out my thick grey wool scarf to add on my somewhat lightweight outfit. I paired it with a denim studded top with a low neck black t shirt to show off the 'casual' look I was going for. Also to add a pop of color to my outfit, I paired it with a hot pink earring (if you try spotting you'll see in this pic) :) 

Coat: Zara

Denim top: Mango

Top: Dotti 

Accessories: Earrings - Colette Hayman

Let's begin ; Trench coat fever

 Other people start their new year's resolution early in January but I like to be different (actually just been slacking). I've always wanted to start a blog about fashion and beauty finds because everyone I know have been telling me I have too many clothes and beauty supplies. But for a gal, I never think I ever have too much, and still have a long list of things I keep on my wishlist. As an accounting student, study is pretty dull. So I often immersed myself in the fashion world by updating myself online or magazines, like any other girls ;)

For my first post, I figured I should start with a staple item in every women's wardrobe. A basic trench coat. I got mine from Zara few years back and didn't really wear it until recently. And have been wearing it almost everyday since it has been a tad bit warmer these few days here in Adelaide. Yay for sun!

Wore this out for a lunch date and grocery shopping. 

Knit top: Hollister 

Jeans: Dotti
