Favourite Dress



Dress - Topshop
Belt - Far East Plaza
Headband - Zouk Flea Market
Shoes - Swirl Swap Swop
Bag - Guess

I had a presentation today that required me to wear a business shirt. I quickly changed into this dress after it as I feel really uncomfortable in business wear! I didn't bring any shoes to change because I wanted to see if I can survive a school day in heels. AND I DID IT.

I am always wearing this dress. Somehow, it is the dress that I always go for whenever I am in a rush or cannot think of what to wear! Thanks for all the suggestions of games at the previous post :) I am still addicted to Mario Kart!!!

Claudia Schiffer is the new face of YSL. This Ad Campaign is shot in the Hollywood Hills. I love how they cleverly use of the Y sign. The shots are very powerful, iconic, stunning & glamourous! I will kill to have the caged shoes Claudia is wearing!
