hook, sink & anchor

I'm really not a tattoo person at all but for some reason I find that anchor printed t-shirts and tattoos are really cute. I think both Kate Moss and Sienna Miller have them tatts too, do they not?

Looking gorgeous of course!

It seems that February is always full of birthdays for me. Yesterday I went to my friend's birthday dinner where we all chowed on some really delicious Nepalese curry & chewy naan. Yummmmmm.
I start a new semester tomorrow! Gotta go get some sleep now.

icecream cake is the best

Yesterday's birthday cake (after stuffing my face with Thai) and my outfit for that evening which I took a sneaky shot of while on the subway. Breaking in those new H&M faux leather pants + black tee + black blazer + my fave suede boots.

it's my birthday today!

The one day where I get to do (nearly) everything I want! Wish me a good one, hehe :P

After some careful deliberation, I finally went and bought myself a pair of black, faux leather pants from H&M. Nothing flashy or PVC like Isabeli is wearing in no.1 but in a good, solid, matte. I was on the hunt for some ever since last year so I treated myself to an early birthday present the other day. Other plans involve reserving a table for an intimate dinner with friends on the 22nd. Nothing big but Thai's definitely on the menu.

Yesterday I saw The Grey starring Liam Neeson and for me, the film was strangely eerie. But man, oh man, Mr. Neeson has the best VOICE ever. I could spend hours listening to his beautiful voice.

Such beautiful portraits of Miranda Kerr and Adriana Lima! Especially adore that high-waisted, leather pencil skirt.

WHITE T-SHIRT+ SKINNY JEANS+ NOT-SO-HIGH BOOTIES.
This is like the ultimate fool-proof outfit right here. Everyone can look good wearing this.

Get a similar look with:

NYFW: floral trending

Did you have a lovely Valentine's Day yesterday? What did you do? I did a girls-night-in which kind of morphed into a semi girls-night-out involving lots of mandatory cream puffs and chocolate flavoured wine.

I can't help but get a little jealous of missing out on all the ruckus that's happening in NYC for fashion week. For those of you who aren't there, I'm sure you feel the same. The weather does sound like it's rather nippy over there and I just want to applaud the awesome ladies wearing floral prints for trying to usher in Spring a little early.

I adore Céline but I'm really not into the whole floral ON floral thing- a tad excessive- but I do love a good statement print and coloured blooms do hit the spot when done singularly. Shopbop has some great basic pieces to build-up on if you haven't already so click away: SHOP THE FLORAL TREND!

I'm having this kind of ongoing obsession with burgundy nowadays. That and mustard yellow but I'm so happy that it's popping up everywhere on streetstyle blogs, editorials and collections alike. Especially love that glossy burgundy Alexander Wang did for his Fall 2012 collection. I'm just so into this shade, the last thing I bought were in fact two t-shirts of this colour!!!
