  Although I bought this crop top a while back, I haven't really featured it in any blog posts yet...oops. I'm really glad I got it though because it's one of my most worn tops to date. I love the racerback-ish cut and the mixture of orange, pinks and whites in a summery palm print. I actually wore this a few weeks back for a friend's 18th birthday at a fancy restaurant. When paired with a plain yet sophisticated black maxi skirt that my grandmother passed down to me, it looks elegant yet fun. Depending on your choice of footwear, it can also be transformed into a beach party look!

  Depending on when you're reading this, I'll either be packing to go to Japan, on a plane to Japan or at Japan so... :D I'll be there for a little over a week so I have scheduled a few (maybe just one/two...) posts (: Also, did anyone also hear about the MH17 news? About how the passenger plane got shot down by an air missile over the Ukraine-Russia border? So upsetting. The only question I have is, why? And that has made me 10 times more paranoid about flying...but I'm praying that we'll all have a safe flight there and back because I'm super excited about visiting Japan :')

"I'm gonna pick up the pieces, 

And build a Lego house 

If things go wrong we can knock it down 

My three words have two meanings, 

There's one thing on my mind 

It's all for you" 

- Lego House by Ed Sheeran 

-------------------------

  As you can see from my straight(er) hair, this was taken more than a month ago...but the lazy bum in me put it off for that long. I guess when you procrastinate with schoolwork, you procrastinate with everything. This skirt from Missguided is quite unique in my eyes because not only is it velvet material, but it has a wrap over effect and I can't quite decide whether it's flattering or not...nevertheless, I think this skirt is great paired with crop tops, flowy tops...and can be easily dressed down with a graphic tee or dressed up with a more flamboyant blouse. After all, velvet does exude luxury.

  On a more personal note, IB results comes out tonight...6:15pm to be exact *infinite horror chords* which kinda determines my home for the next 3 years and tells me whether I'll be going to university or not...it'll either be the happiest or worst day of my life. I've always said that results are always worse than the actual exams themselves. It's judgement day, and I don't like a bit of it.

Hope your weekend was a lot less traumatising than mine!

  So sorry that this is my first outfit post in 2 months :/ I've been incredibly busy lately but now that all exams and whatnot are over, I can churn out more outfit posts! Yayyyyy!

 I've been watching Easy A (for the third time, which features the talented and beautiful Emma Stone)...you know the scene where the singing card plays this song over & over again? Well it's been stuck on replay in my head for a while and besides, I thought this outfit fitted perfectly.

  I absolutely love these shorts from Persunmall, possibly my favourite purchase from them to date! I featured them in my May Haul and mentioned that they're dupes of the American Apparel ones, but a fraction of the price, US$21.99 to be exact! Not only are they super flattering (high-waisted bottoms for the win - seriously, I vow to only get high-waisted bottoms now.) but they have floral prints on them! How can you say no?! Here, I paired it with a white blouse for a simple, basic and casual yet somewhat smart look. Especially during festival season, you can wear this paired with a fedora/wide brimmed hat if you don't mind the white shirt so much... And of course, a backpack that looks cute and is big enough to fit all your festival-y essentials, enabling you to jump and dance around.

  I actually wore this to the movies where we watched 'Edge of Tomorrow' that featured Tom Cruise. I disliked the ending because I thought it was very cliched and predictable and some scenes were very meh...but the concept, idea and plot as a whole was unique.

 Also, #WorldCup2014 has started! Although the matches take place during ungodly hours here (11pm-5am), I still do watch a few matches despite being sleep deprived...I even have a nice bet going on with the boyfriend ;) I just have to step up my guesstimating game D:  I must say that I don't have a preferred team...although right now, I have a feeling that Netherlands have a good chance of being in the finals. Phew, who knew I could ramble on for so long.

Which team are you rooting for?
