Leopard Kimono

Adding a dose of leopard to an outfit always makes it more interesting (for lack of a better word). It is a tricky pattern to wear. However, I prefer wearing it as an accent to the outfit because it can be a little too overwhelming when not executed carefully. I was a bit hesitant to get this leopard kimono but decided to go for it. It's from Choies. 

Dress: Soul Lifestyle 

Kimono: Choies (only $9!!) 

Watch: La Mer

In this particular look, the leopard kimono infused a touch of feistiness to the LBD. However it is also a versatile piece. I am thinking about using it as a coverup on the beach too! My La Mer watch provided a nice contrast in color.

Blue Floral

This summer, several trends like off-shoulder styles, fringe or pom poms, and tribal prints emerged to offer women easy to wear styles suited for the hot weather. But when all else fails, I turn to floral to create an effortless summer style. The good thing about wearing floral is that it is a timeless pattern, much like stripes, and it will never disappoint in the fashion department. Such is the case with this blue floral dress from Showinbuy. 

Dress: Showinbuy (c/o) / Flats: Mendrez / Watch: La Mer Collections / Sunnies: Sunnies Studios (get 15% off Zalora with code 'ZBAPZD4H') / Earrings: Soufeel (c/o) / Lipstick: MAC Craving

I guess floral is a universally loved pattern (correct me if I am wrong), but what is there not to love about floral really? This dress in particular really drew me in with its vibrant floral prints against my favorite color. The quality is a welcome surprise given its price point. I would definitely pay more for this quality. The material is also a great choice in hot weather because it is fresh and light. This look is my quintessential outfit for the summer time. You can check more fab dresses from their women's dresses selection.

I paired the dress with my La Mer Cantaloupe Arizona watch for a pop of color, along with my pastel nails. And the gorgeous bowknot crystal earrings from Soufeel provided the right amount of glam. 

Do you love floral for summer too?

 

My Favorite Accessories

I used to be intimidated by statement accessories. But now that I have stepped out of my fashion comfort zone, I have come to embrace them and what they can do to enhance an outfit. Hence, today, I am showcasing some of my favorite ways to accessorize a look.

Since I live in a tropical country, the days are excruciatingly hot (yes, even though it's not summer!). To go out with sunglasses is almost a sin. Thankfully, I can add a new one to my sunnies collection when Specspost reached out to me to do a review. But this company is more than just your average sunglasses company. They offer custom-made lenses according to your prescription. They also offer a wide range of frames to fit your lens into; in fact, you can wear sunglasses and have prescription lenses in them. How cool is that? 

Julie of Specspost suggested I try out their petite line (yes, there is an option for all sizes an styles). I got this petite wayfarer style prescription sunglasses valued at £28.50. I am impressed with the quality of the frame and the fact that their sunglasses can also double as prescription glasses (great for when you like spending time outdoors and tired of switching between your eyeglasses and sunglasses.

Aside from my sunglasses, I also never go out of the house without a watch on my wrist. This beautiful chain wrap watch from La Mer is a nice way to add more accents to your look. I love the bold orange color to give more pops of color to my outfit. 

The watch was definitely a great compliment to my new leopard shorts I bought from Choies. This is one of my favorite shorts... ever. The material is highly comfortable. It also comes with an excellent fit. I've been buying lots of shorts that I can bring to an upcoming vacation and I think I found one that will notably be on my packing list. 

What about you? What is your favorite way to accessorize a look?
