Prepare for Blooms & Water !

Prepare for SPRING / SUMMER!

Though we can hardly believe it ourselves, spring formally begins next week. Obviously, we are head over heels for every last new apparel and accessory trend—watch this space for the deets—but today we are going to discuss another staple of the season: swimwear. Specifically, the new standout suit collection by London-based designer, Roksanda Ilincic.

Typically, when you mention the word “swimsuit” or, even worse, “bikini”, amongst a group of gals, it causes an outburst of dreadful cries. However, there is something so totally chic while non-intimidating about Roksanda Ilincic’s fresh designs that it seems to hush our deepest poolside fears. Maybe it’s due to the many one-piece offerings in the collection or the color-blocking, piping and French lace detailing of the suits that give us such a confident outlook. Whatever it is, we’re not complaining! Slip into one of our two favorite styles—the halter Albia and ruffley Rafiya, shown above—before your next beach venture and you definitely won’t feel like a fish out of water!

Motel
Racer Back Print Dress


We needn’t provide a spoiler alert that floral prints are star players of the spring season: pretty petals of all shapes and sizes are in full boom everywhere you look! A less than expected but totally wowing take on the trend, Peter Pilotto’s scuba-inspired Floral Dress has us yearning for a seaside escape!

An oh-so-fresh runway catch, we netted this body-con number right off the catwalk to act as an ultra-modern muse to our seasonal wardrobe. Constructed of fine silk and cotton with an impossible-to-miss graphic design, it is one of many oceanic-themed picks from Peter Pilotto’s spring collection. Want to translate some deep sea-level style into your own look? Rock a like-minded printed dress dress with an oversized tote, strappy sandals and slicked-back ‘do!

Cuff Cuff

HAPPY FRIDAY! :)

Sometimes statement necklaces get all the attention. Not that we don’t love them, nor do we deny their ability to transform an outfit, but let’s not forget about other jewel box gems in the focus-stealing family. Case in point: Pamela Love’s Arch Cuff!

We can always depend on the pioneering Pamela Love to satisfy our accessory-driven desires, and this widened star cuff—along with her entire spring collection—is no exception. Designed in lustrous brass measuring six inches in length, it is a true game changer in one’s jewelry arsenal as we move into the new season. Keep it on stand-by at all times to glam up your daytime uniform or chic out an evening ensemble. Never be afraid to look a little cuff around the edges.

Magix D freezes in Hokkaido

Hi dears...

Yes life has been busy. No excuse right ....
Sorry that we didn't keep up with blogging routine like we planned and love to :(
So we are sharing this little travel blog, a longer one than usual to make up for the MIA time hee..

Flew to the freezer (HOKKAIDO) in late Jan 2012.
Not first time in Japan but definitely first time in Hokkaido, the beautiful island.
Did a free and easy within short time frame, thus didn't insist to visit many places.

Below picture taken from plane, doesn't it look cold?

Intermittent yummies to break the coldness that you are feeling already :)
The curry was rather just so so randomly curry outlet.
But when it is that cold, you tend to appreciate more of any food, warm food.

The little Japanese style ryokan where need more effort to set the futons.
Foreigners like us always wanted to such chore but local Japanese in reverse prefers western room/bed.
