Pink Floral Maxi Dress | Tosave

6/03/2018 12:26:00 pm

Hey all

I'm back here with a collaboration with Tosave!

I got a couple of clothing items from Tosave and am quite excited to share this experience with you guys!
I have the choice to choose anything fashion and/or beauty related from Tosave within a $15 budget. Hence, it's a challenge, that I'm willing to take! Cause I want a good quality item with a low price.

The first product is this Pink Floral Maxi Dress. First of all, I always wanted to try and pull off a maxi dress look, cause I can never do it due to my height. I'm only about 5'3", and dresses designed and made from the Western brands will cater to women who are much taller than me. So, I decided to take this chance and try it on.

After a month of waiting, the products finally arrived and it is my turn to review and give you guys my first impressions.

First impression:
1. The material was more silky than I expected. It stated on the website that it is cotton blend. But it feels like pajamas, so silky and smooth, also very cooling. It is the type of material that doesn't wrinkle that easily. 
2. The dress is a tad bigger than what I expected, hence it doesn't fit me well. It is really lose on the waist and the dress touches the floor when I stand. 
3. The dress has pockets! Such a plus! But the pocket is quite shallow, so I don't see any use of putting things in, cause there might be a high chance of it dropping out.
4. The overall of the dress is quite nice, I quite like it and it is really comfortable to wear, perfect for the spring and summer weather. But because of the shiny, silky material of the dress, I'm not entirely sure if I would wear it out of not. 

I created a couple of styles on how I would style this dress, and my personal favourite will be with the belt and the floppy hat for a nice cool spring day. 
Had to wear a belt to create a smaller waist. And to create a look that it fits me.
Somehow I feel taller in these pictures with the maxi dress, interesting. Cause I was so scared it will just swallow me up and become very overwhelming on me. And then I'll just look like a short dwarf covered with tons of fabric 😂
Next, for a more night life style, I dressed it up with a leather jacket that I got from Uniqlo. Love the jacket! And it is still comfortable to wear around and walk about for the entire night too.
It is also a perfect dress for a nice cozy night in. Just pair it with a knitted cardigan and some socks, grab a book with a cup of hot chocolate and chill with your pup! Comfy nights in! 

My 2nd item I got from Tosave is a White Lace Tank Top. The lace is a bit flimsy, it just falls down when wearing it. The material itself is also very sheer. And it is also a bit tight on me. Which is why I did not take a picture of me wearing the top. 
The top is only around $3, which is why I'm not expecting much for its quality. If the lace and the material of the top is better, I would definitely wear it out with a jacket or a cardigan over it. 
Now, I think I would just wear it as a inner wear for a little lace peaking out of my (over exposed) top (if I ever have one).


These are my little small review and lookbook on how I would style the maxi dress and the tank top.

Till next time!

Day to Night Outfit with AUrate New York

10/12/2017 05:49:00 pm

Hi Peeps!! 

AUrate New York is a jewellery company from New York City and their jewellery are handmade from ethically sourced materials. Positive social impact drives them in what they do, and I love their story! After reading about their story, they don't use any conflict materials in their jewellery. With their 'A Book for your Look' program, which they partner with Philidelphia schools and they give back by donating books to economically disadvantaged school children with each purchase of their jewellery! I love what they are doing and would love to share more about their brand to you guys!

Now, they have a project running in which they challenge woman to share how they will style and play an outfit from day to night. I have decided to participate in this challenge, and I love it! I always wonder, how do I dress up or down without changing too much jewellery or accessories. And this is what I came up with! 

For this day outfit, I've chosen a floral printed off shoulder dress that looks casual and girly at the same time. Perfect for a nice casual hang out with friends or even a cute outfit for uni! Then, I paired it with AUrate New York's gold Flower Earrings Studs. I think there will be never enough of floral in one outfit and is true! It looks super girly and I love it! The earrings will be a great daily jewellery. A small grey leather backpack helps to neutralise the girly-ness that is happening for the whole outfit! Pairing with a light pink high top converse will show off your sporty side of the outfit, balancing the girly look of the outfit. The whole outfit is casual, sporty and girly at the same time, which is comfortable and still pretty as a whole! 

Although the day outfit is minimal and cute. With the same dress, a night outfit for a drink with friends for the night will be styled with black pumps and a beige clutch or purse, that just enough to bring all the necessities. Keeping on the earrings studs, which still fits perfectly with the night outfit, layer on the jewellery with a crystal necklace to show the glamour look for a night out. With the change of shoes to heels, it has already change the game from casual to a glamorous look. It will be a perfect outfit for the night out!
Layering on jewellery will help you style a day to night outfit with ease!
How do you change your outfit from day to night? I would love to know! Share your tips with me in the comment section below! =) 
Until then, I'll talk with you guys soon!

First Half of 2017 - New Buys & Fav Products

5/17/2017 08:00:00 pm

Hey y'all! I would like to share on what makeup products I had purchased when I was back in Malaysia last summer and lovin' it! I wasn't going on any major hunting session to find the perfect makeup product to try and buy. And of course, I did not go through any research on searching what products is the most worth it to buy and which is suitable for me. 
To summarise it all, I definitely bought these products spontaneously! 
 Blush: Nars - Bumpy Ride 
Lipstick: M.A.C. - Brave 
 M.A.C. is a brand that I always look up to and never have the guts to even go in to the store to try it out. As I'm sure all you beauty peeps out there knows, M.A.C. employees are not the best at customer service which also equals to me not being brave enough to step into the store to look around. Also it's interior is just so slick and mature that I feel like I am not suitable to be in there. 
 'But how did you even manage to buy a lipstick from M.A.C.?' you would ask. 
I was doing a favour for my cousin to buy a M.A.C. lipstick, as it was cheaper my M'sia than in Aussie. So, I did it. Finally first step into the store, and 'WHAO!!' The choices of colours for the lipsticks range are endless! 
Anyway, I'd picked up the lipstick for my cousin. I was with my mom at the time, so my mom was like, would you like one? I was like nah, I wasn't really into lipsticks. (Because they tend to dry off your lips, not fun) Of course, my mom said 'I know you want one, which one do you want?' 
I have no idea, and the salesperson was like expecting you to know all the names of their well-known lipsticks. I was clueless. In the end, the salesperson picked this deep nude colour with a pink/red base - 'Brave' and I love it! It brightens up my whole makeup look. Especially that I'm fair, and don't really put much makeup on everyday, it's perfect! 
I bought it without reading the any reviews about M.A.C. lipsticks, but I know for sure that my cousin loves it, and she owns a few of them already. Also hearing from many people saying how pretty the lip colours are. 
The lipstick doesn't dry up your lips as much as I thought, but it is best to put a layer of lip balm before putting on your lipstick. The colour stays on in a decent amount of hours. It does transfer [bummer], so it's best to bring the lipstick with you. The packaging is small enough, so that you can reapply when you are out and about. 
NARS is also another brand that I love and admire, but never own one before. My first encounter with NARS is when my mom wants a blush and foundation. So, I recommended her to this brand. 
Also, due to the fact I have to help my cousin buy some makeup. I drop by NARS for a sec just to look around. Mom on the other hand said that she wants a new foundation. Which also reminds me that I would like to have a blush. 
And of course, NARS is well-known for its Blush - Orgasm.
My mom owns one of it, and I was planning to get one for myself, so that I don't have to sneak in to my mom's vanity just to use it. Then, the salesperson recommended me this new shade for the S/S season, called Bumpy Ride. 
Pink base, really pigmented. I love it! 
Though it doesn't have the gold glitter like Orgasm, but its fine. I love this shade! It gives my face a healthy flush look, and I received quite a few compliments from it whenever I wear it. 

That's it for my Fav products! 
Till next time x

Spring Fashion 2017 for Men & Women

5/05/2017 01:24:00 pm

Hiiii!! I'm BACK! :D
Finally we are in the 2nd half of the semester. And yesterday I finally completed one of the huge assignments. I hope it goes well, and now is time for me to rest and chill.

Bonobos asked me to create a fashion mood board for both women and men for this upcoming Spring! I gladly accepted it! Thinking of the trends and 2017's colours. I finally did it!

First of all is for us women.
Off shoulders has become a huge trend for this year, and incorporate with that trend adding with one of this year's colour - this soft pink colour. Thus choosing this off shoulders dress will be perfect for spring.
Also having a sky blue colour from the shoes is also a trendy colour this year.
Combining both colours for this outfit is a great colour scheme.
Holding that sling bag with a hint of floral blue pattern is the perfect design for spring!
How can you not say yes to floral patterns!

Spring Fashion Casual 2017




As for the men, I hope this will help your fashion of just T-shirts and pants with slippers.
Another trendy colour this year is this shade of nude, Hazelnut colour.
I find men can pull off this look really well.
Having a nice casual jacket makes the overall look way better.
Instead of wearing slippers or sandals, wear slip-ins shoes. As they give off a look that you put lots of effort in. An overall well-put look. Which is great!
Off white, nude and a touch of light grey with black shoes. You will be ready for spring!
Spring Men Casual 2017!



If you guys did find this helpful.
Please do comment down below and I'll be happy to read through them =)
And that's it for now.
Until next time :)

Pastel Colour Block Nails Tutorial for Spring

4/15/2015 10:41:00 pm

Hi Hii!! =D
Now I'm finally back with a proper, long nice tutorial post for you gals! =)

Spring is here!! 
And whenever I think of spring I think of pastel!
I mean, come on, the colour is just so so pretty! 
And nobody can deny it! 

So I'm gonna share with you guys on how to put those colours on your nails =)   
Let's start, shall we?
And for bonus!! 
I'm showing you gals TWO types of colour block nails!!
Well, of course. 
First thing first! 
You need the colours! 
Use whatever colour you guys like, I used pastel pink, green, blue, purple and yellow! 

Mint Green: The Face Shop.
Pastel Yellow: Sephora Mini Nail Polish. 
Pastel Blue: Sephora Mini Nail Polish.
Pastel Yellow: Sephora Mini Nail Polish. 
Pastel Pink: Teddy Girl - Butter London. 
Step by step tutorial for this nail art! =)
 1. Choose a base colour of your choice, I chose the pink as the base colour. 
2. Then, wait for it to dry!
3. When it's dry enough, put on the tape and do whatever shape you like.
Here I'm doing a triangle shape on the tip of my nail. =)
Tip: Remember to press down the edges, so that the nail polish doesn't flow to other places.
4. Choose another colour, which I chose the pastel purple and paint it on the open area of your nail. =)
Remember from my other nail tutorials?
Peel out the tape after around 15-30 seconds.
5. And Waalllaaahhhh!! You're done!
Paint a layer of top coat and show off you pretty nails! =)
*Sorry for the blur pic >< *
Of course, you can do many other shapes!
And that's what makes it colour block!!

Here's my final results! 
I did mention above I'm showing you gals 2 types of colour block nails right?
So here's the second one, simple and nice =)
Just colour each nail with different pastel colours!
It looks like candy, and I love it!! 
And of course, when you combine both hands together. 
You get a mixture of love and happiness! 
The happiness on my nails!! =D
I love this so much!! ♥ That I wish that it won't go off!!
Spring is here!! =D
To get ready for spring, try out this tutorial and tell me how it goes!!
Share pics through my social media, which I would love to see.
This nail art is up to your creativity, with mixture of pretty colours! =D
Hope you guys love this as much as I do =)

Easy Floral Nails Tutorial

6/01/2014 11:46:00 pm

Hi Hi pretties!!
As you gals know [ or maybe not ] , I love nail arts.  
If I have the mood and the time.
I will sit in my rooms for hours just to perfect up my nails =)

My other tutorials :
http://sarahjslee.blogspot.com/2013/05/musical-notes-nails-d.html
http://sarahjslee.blogspot.com/2013/02/chinese-new-year-valentines-day-nails.html

So, here is another tutorial is up for you gals =))
I've wanted to do this post for a long time. But I didn't have the time to find the perfect items for it.
Since now my exam is almost over.
I'm gonna share with you how to do this easy floral nail art =))
Spring is here and Summer is on it's way, why not give our nails a little makeover??
=)

Let's go!!!

Things you will need :
1. 5 - 6 or more toothpicks, make sure they are sharp!!


2. Base colour
    -White nail polish
    -Butter London - Teddy Girl
    -Top coat / Base coat


3. Nail polishes for the design
    -The Face Shop - Mint Green
    -Elianto - Pink
    -O.P.I - A Definite Moust-Have
    -O.P.I - Chic from Ears to Tail


4. Put a recycled paper on your work place, so that it doesn't mess up your table.

Steps :

1. Paint your base colours on your nails.
2. Choose which ever finger you like to paint the white nail polish, I chose the ring finger =)
3. The other 4 fingers, I just paint them with 2 coats of pink



4. Blob the light pink on your ring finger. Irregular shape is the best!!


This is what we are going to do next!! =))
Leggo!!!

5. Use your toothpick, draw a few outline using a darker colour of the blob you created just now, leave a little gap in between each outline.


6. Then, make a dot in the middle of the blob.


7. This is the tricky part for me!! =0
    Draw few thin lines of curves around the dot you made.
   [This is why your toothpicks must be sharp!! So they can draw the line perfectly! =) ]


8. Use another toothpick, use the green to draw the leaves =)


9. Wait for them to dry, and put on a layer of top coat to make sure they stay longer =)

10.And you are done!!! =DD

Pretty easy, isn't?? =)

Here's another tip :
Your design doesn't have to be really perfect!
It is meant to be messy, so if you messed up a little, just let it go =)




Good luck and have fun!!
=))







Love Me!! XOXO

How to Mix Patterns for Spring and Summer

5/17/2014 12:45:00 pm

Hey Pretties out there!! =D
I know I've been gone for a month or so. So sorry about that.
I'm having an important exam this month, so I have to neglect my blog for a while.
So that I can study and revise for my exam. =)
Hope you guys can understand =))
My exam is not over yet, is just that I have a little bit time in between.
So I'm gonna update =)
See how good I am =))

So from the title, I'm gonna give you guys tips on how to mix patterns.
Since now is Spring and Summer is coming up.
Patterns are really trendy right now.
The usual pattern that almost everybody know is the Polka Dots and Stripes, which never gets old.
Now recently, Floral, Tribal and Houndstooth patterns are in trend now. [ And of course more, just naming a few]
I personally love the Tribal prints and Floral patterns. =))

So how do you mix patterns while dressing up??
Usually, we match one pattern top/bottom with a plain top/bottom.
So that it doesn't look too clash or dizzy.
But why bother to dress so plain? YOLO!!

So here, I'm gonna teach you guys a secret on how to wear patterns from head to toe. =))
Here's the secret!!!
WEAR THE SAME BASE COLOUR!! 

Yup, that's it!!
Just wear the same base colour of your top and bottom, and you perfectly mastered the trend of how to mix patterns and prints =))
So if you guys still don't get it. I have pics down below to show you guys =)
Leggo~!!

Outfit number 1
I've matched my black base stripe top with my black base floral skirt.
As you can see, it doesn't look too clash-y.
And it's still prefect for S/S seasons =))


And for shoes, I've matched it with my usual black heels. Heh =D
Since black goes with everything =)


Or my fav red flats =))


Top : Cotton On
Skirt : Cotton On
Heels : some boutique
Flats : Joy & Peace


I know, both outfits were matched with floral skirts, it's just a coincidence =))
Or I should say, I love floral patterns really much =D *hearts*

Outfit number 2
In this outfit, I've matched this navy blue base with little white heart prints, with a navy blue base floral skirt.

As you can see, there's a lot going on, but you don't feel dizzy. =)




Top : Lalu
Skirt : Forever 21
Heels : some boutique
Flats : Joy & Peace


Am I standing or jumping?? ;) *smirk*

Thanks to my friend Isaac to help me edit this pic below =))
I really love the effect though, the feeling is so strong. [shameless me] =D 

And most of all thanks to my bestie Nicole for helping me taking these pics. =) ♥♥♥


P.S. : I did not edit my pics, mostly what I did is increase the exposure level and sharpened it. That's all =)
So I have to say that Nicole really took some really 'accidentally' good pics for me, and I can't thank you enough =) 
Thanks!! =))

Hope you guys love this tip that I've shared with you all. =) ♥♥

My last paper of my exam is at June 10th.
So I hope you guys can be patient enough to wait for my next update =))
But I'll try to update in between.
Thank you =)




Love Me!! XOXO ♥♥♥♥
