Kiosha’s collaboration with Ri(t)ch Styles brings us to one more outfit post today :) I styled another look for them and this time I chose a floral dress since florals totally shout SUMMER! Those of you who follow me on my blog and most of my social media platforms, must have seen my unending love for florals with the start of summer and I can right at this moment picturise how many more posts are gonna have this trend in them.

Bright accessories predominantly in yellow, synced in perfectly with this dress and there I was raring to step out for a summer lunch with the girls.

Pretty Curvy Stripes & Asymmetry

I'm soooooo happy with this new online store that I came across, that I couldn't wait to share my buys with you guys. Buying from online sites always gives me this uncertain feeling about the quality especially the wholesale sites who also retail, but BaBassu has been a real find! The quality of the three products that I ordered amazed me and hence this online store is a definite recommendation from me to you guys. Most prices are below $30 and hence my verdict definitely is - great quality at great prices!

With asymmetrical dresses being in absolute trend this year, the coming summer is going to see a lot more of them. After the solid colour one that you saw me wear for Valentine's (you can check it out here), I ordered a printed one this time, that too in the unique combination of black and pink curvy stripes. The material is super soft and flows over my body like silk. It's right for day or night and can be dressed up or dressed down according to the occasion.  I decided to keep the look simple for a brunch party, with silver bracelets, a black clutch and black stilettos.

Dress - BaBassu
Shoes - Giovanna (Singapore)
Clutch - Esbeda
Bracelets - Colaba Causeway and Goa Flea Market
Sun Glasses - H&M (Singapore)

This dress works well for a curvy pear shaped body like mine as it balances my slimmer shoulder with my wide hips because of the tighter fit at the top and the flare at the bottom. Also the vertical side stripes panel, along with the structured asymmetrical cut makes me look taller and my legs look longer. All in all a win-win! :)

Flirting with feathers :)

Towards the end of last year, I noticed that the whole fashion world had suddenly woken up to the use of feathers!  Feather hair extensions, feather corsages on dresses and feather earrings is what I spotted all over the place, but those never seemed to be my cup of tea. What I could identify with would probably be a statement feather necklace(since I love necklaces) but my bad luck - I wasn't able to find one anywhere as per my liking. And then Romwe answered my prayers last month with a whole new collection of feather necklaces and you guessed right, I landed up ordering a gorgeous yellow feather necklace :)

Heading out for a dinner date with PS, I paired the statement feather necklace with a shimmer top, basic denims, neutral heels and a matching yellow bag. Just the right mix! Not too over the top, not too simple.

Statement Yellow Feather Necklace - Romwe.com
Shimmer Top - Sarojini Nagar Market
Chiffon Singlet - BCBG, Singapore
Denims - ONLY
Bag - H&M, Singapore
Beige Peep Toes - Trendy

Looks fierce due to the feathers but it's actually very pretty with diamanté stones and kind of makes you feel a little tribal.

Coming to the tip - Most important and according to me the only tip while wearing feathers, in order not to go overboard is to keep just one feather item in your outfit - either a necklace or earrings or any other accessory. Nothing more than one feathered piece!

Are you guys liking the necklace? Would you also wear one if you could get your hands on something as lovely as this? I would love to know so keep the messages coming :)

Travel Tales: Singapore's Orchard Road & Clarke Quay

Our day at Sentosa got us soooo tired that dressing up in some funky colour to brighten up the day was the need of the hour.. I was carrying my newly acquired loose Tangerine knot top from Choies.com and decided to wear it over a pair of simple black shorts as my bag was blingy too. A person like me who is bottom heavy has to take care that the top needs to be loose and not clingy in order to balance out the outfit. Also a nice neckpiece will draw attention to the top rather than the bottom.

PS wore an Angry Birds tshirt that I picked up for him cause I found it super cute! That's actually the way his life is considering that he chose to become a Chartered Accountant and now has to really juggle his personal and professional life :)

Our day was spent at Orchard predominantly for shopping, then catching up on Ek Tha Tiger - Ya I know not such a bright idea but since it was family time with cousins too it was fun, and then heading to Clarke Quay. Orchard for me has always meant some selective places to shop before trying out new places, so the regular list (which means the best deals)were:

1. Far East Plaza - It's located just off Orchard road opposite the Duty Free Shopping mall and is the best place for bargains with some sort of quality guarantee on fashion related items. This place is an older mall before the chic and luxurious Singapore came into being and is still a major favourite with everyone. Her you can find everything from fashion to music to massages to electronics. I have always come back with great buys from this place. bYSI is one of my favourite stores here for their fitted dresses.
2. Forever 21 at 313 Somerset - With multiple levels this place is one F21 heaven for someone like me who loves Forever 21. I love the mid range dresses from this place other than not to mention the accessories ;)
3. H&M at Orchard Building - This is the only H&M store in Singapore and with India lacking it, not going there is out of the questions. Having great stuff at great prices for guys and gals, the lines outside the changing rooms which are a key feature here are worth the wait. 

Other than this the other places were the OG Store, malls like 313 Somerset, Wisma Atria, ION Orchard and Paragon Mall. More than enough for the day before we headed off for the movie.

Post the movie we headed to Clarke Quay, Clarke Quay is Singapore's most happening night place for some good times that has old building housing night spots, drinking and food places. I love the Crazy Elephant Rock and Roll Blues Bar where you can enjoy some great live music, drinks and food by the riverside. No visit of mine is complete without a night out here :)
