Christmas Specials!



What do you want for Christmas? A new phone, cosmetic set, a pair of louboutins, perhaps? But all i want for Christmas is a day spent with mummy and daddy.



It's almost december, and I decided to share a few looks for le Christmas Party! There are so many types of party, so yeah. Whether it is family gatherings, friend's house party, Church party, le clubbin partayyyy ( i  know you love this one!) or to some christmas dinner at restaurants, well, feel free to get your source of inspirations on this festival celebration. This is also suitable for New Year parties, i guess! Also, I'm very excited about these looks, because it is festival, you can dress up a little more than usual. Have fun dolling up !

# home gathering, warm party

Pull overs are a good option when it comes to self hosted family gatherings. You might still have guests around and you want to look not to overly dressed, but still appropriate. Not in your PJs of course! Pair it with a simply infinity scarf and with some christmas accessories to complete the look. No shoes here, because i assume you are not going to wear any in the house.


#2  Friend's annual house party

As a house guest, you might want to look casually respectful. Wear an interesting sequin detailed tank top underneath an oversized pullover, You can pair it with tights and wear pants over it. I added a candy cane inspired bangle to make it more festival. You might need to bring a home gift- just any! (Reindeer stuffed toy)
#3 le date night in christmas/christmas eve

Not only your boyfriend, maybe with your family/friends, you might need to attend to a christmas eve feast, in a more luxury place. You want to look formal, but toned down a little as it is a celebrative event. Wear a leather jacket / suede jacket with cocktail dress certainly will look less formal. However, keep other things simple, like nude pumps (an essential in the wardrobe!) and simple accessories.


#4 Church events , look respectful

No legs, no boobs, still looked good. Mustard go very well with grey,according to my recent research.
You certainly need to look serious in church events, because it is so. Being respectful to such events shows that you are sincere and earnest. Whether you are a Christian or not, you have to respect the religion. Anyway, wear less accesories and keep things simple. This look is very much inspired by the character Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl. You might need to bring some home made cookies for the children in church.

#5 cocktail / clubbing events

Finally! time to have some fun. Invited or not, you are allowed to crash clubs and pubs for countdown events. For this look, you can go shimmery and glittery, because Christmas is beautiful like that. If it is too cold, wear leather jacket over the cocktail dress. I paired this outfit with red pumps because it will be the centre of attention. Sip a bit of Martini and you are ready for the countdown.


I'm excited, aren't you?

Chaussures Folles

*updated
i'm so excited, because i'm a shoe-a-holic!

By crazy shoes, i meant the insane price could go up to one pair of shoes. Iconic, statement, classique. Terms that define a pair of walking aid that could make it impossibly pricey and even priceless.
I'm sure you have heard of Louboutins and Jimmy Choos, because they are just every girl's dream. Classic define them the best. Not to mention comfy, too. Perhaps it's the reason the celebrities able to stand 6 feet high with sky-high heels all day long!

There are so many things to consider when it comes to buying the perfect pair. Size, shapes, occasion, price, durability, comfort and etc etc. How to make sure that you got the ideal pair?

tip #1: INVEST well

in 2 pairs of good shoes with height, comfort and style. Just like the LBD, you need one pair for casual occasions and one for formal attires. Shoes are essential and it is very important to feel comfortable when you walk, for it may lead to several diseases.

For formal occasions, Pumps are sexy, comfortable and stylish. Compared with stilettos, it is much more wearable for all day long. Think nude or black pumps. 3 inches would be perfect to lengthen your legs.

Not everyone feel the same when it comes to shoes. Aside from beauty, the same pair of shoes your friend bought that fits her perfectly doesn't mean that you feel the same way too. We all have different sizes and shapes. Splurge more on shoes, because they are going to bring you exploring places. When you have a tight budget, these essentials are the best choice.



tip#2: keep the colour neutral. 

You want to start your collection with neutral - and go all the way funky you want. But my, unless you wanna stand out with striking outfit, better play safe. Colours that go well with anything are neutrals.

Think in this way. If you are wearing something warm like orange, and brown, go for earth tone. Nudes and browns are perfect. if you are wearing cool colours like blue and green, go black/white/grey. Just to make things easier, i made polyvores to show you the difference:




these are with cool tone grey pumps.
looks a lil awkward because it doesn't go with the other warm tones.






However, when i pair this outfit with a warmer tone brown pumps, it immediately looks more flattering than before.















tip#3: Try before you purchase

Now, there are many moments that we regret after purchasing, because we will never wear them anymore. Why? Mostly because no enough consideration before buying it. It is a common slip because we love shopping, don't we? Love at first sight might tricked us by a bit.

Never buy shoes before trying them. Not every pair you love is suitable for you. Wearing non-flattering shoes will only make add extra uneasiness, and difficult to walk in. Think thrice before buying it, because you might end up buying more and more unfit shoes.

How to try on shoes? tip: buy shoes at 3-5pm , for the most accurate measurements
1.After getting the right size,make sure you walk around the outlet several times. Try bend down, and sit to see whether the shoes are still comfy. If possible, jump a bit. (Not literally jumping, but just tilt on ur toes!)
2.if it is a little tight, ask the salesperson whether it is possible to extend after several times wearing it.
3. If it's too loose, then it is not yours.
4. Remember: if you don't feel comfortable during trying session,(for example, too high for you) then you will not feel comfortable wearing it outside. Provided you don't walk at all with them.


Happy shopping! x

Personally i was not a caffein lover at all, i literally could not sleep with any sip of coffee. I get too high and physically tired with coffee, but definitely would not miss these tasty beverages!

Toffee Nut latte is like your regular cafe latte with a boost of toffee nut, very bearable and unique.
Gingerbread latte smells so good and i'm sure it will taste really good too, have not tried this one yet.
Cranberry White Choc Mocha taste good, and unique, but might be slightly too sweet..opt for less sugar next time!
