Simple



It's December, tis' the season to be jolly. If by jolly, you mean stressed out then that saying is hitting the spot. Christmas time usually means holiday festivities or end of year parties and they usually require some sort of outfit. As if it's not already an expensive time of year, now you need to buy ensembles so you don't look the same in all the Facebook photos you're tagged in.

You have a few options, the cheapest being, changing your privacy status on Facebook so, you alone, are the only one who can see any photos you're tagged in and just wear the same outfit everywhere, or you could spend up big on "outfits" and just have a $10 limit for everyone you need to buy presents for, or be savvy and pull out your basic staple pieces and just accessorize them differently.

Monochromatic, whether they're still on trend or not, I haven't really been keeping tabs, is the best way to go. You cannot tell me you don't have a sparkly or a stand-out shoe or clutch in your wardrobe that you can just spice up your ensembles with. If you don't, go out and buy one and just say you conveniently forgot that you had a cousin-twice-removed that you had to buy a present for.

To sum it all up, plan ahead, rummage your wardrobe and maybe give yourself a resolution not to buy any more outfits until you wear all the items hanging in your wardrobe that still have tags on them *guilty*.

Perfect Weekends


Finally got the chance to visit a relative's Vineyard/Farm and I'm now kicking myself for not coming sooner. Sorrounded by endless greenery, animals and fresh air, what could be better? I have this strange curiousity towards Alpacas so I was extremely excited when I found out they had some. I also couldn't contain myself when I was promised I'd get to play with little lambs, though I was warned not to get attached. Eeek!

Perfect weekends are spent with those who you love and enjoy the most, the magical location is just an added bonus.

Oversized


Loving these $10 JayJay's boyfriend jeans so much. As much as I love darker clothing to give me the illusion of being slimmer than I actually am. I really love the look of neutral, soft and light colours together, it just screams fresh and crisp to me.

Marant




I know the twisted body-con skirt has had it's time in the limelight and probably now needs to retire, but while I love a good trend, there are times when they are keepers, like this Isabel Marant Etoile twisted skirt for example.

I purchased this at Barney's last year while I was in San Francisco. It's a dark grey marle and the material is just beyond amazing and it twists in the right areas just perfectly.

It's only a trend if you let it, but if you love something, I think you can find a way to make it a forever piece in your wardrobe.
