April 2018 Look Book
Another month, another lookbook! Let’s get to it…
A summer dress that can double as a beach cover-up…or a
beach cover-up that can double as a summer dress? Either way, it works! I got
this cute, tasseled dress from Edit Lifestyle, a store in Singapore which has an
amazing collection of summery, beach outfits and resortwear. The straw bag is from the store too. The items in Edit Lifestyle are on
the pricier side but if you really like something, it may be worth a splurge.
Or better yet, wait for their sales or check out their in-store sales rack!

Yet another SheIn dress that's a winner in my book. This bright mustard yellow dress (only $17!) is
great for dressing up with heels or down with flat sandals. I paired it with this
embroidered clutch purchased from Ammos Accessories, an Australian-based online
store which has a great collection of boho chic accessories.

I talked about this Kate Spade dress when I shared this
photo on Instagram. I loved the dress when I saw it on a trip to Hong Kong but
it was too expensive to buy. So instead, I waited out for a sale and bought it
on eBay for a much lower price. I guess the dress has a gypsy, boho vibe to it. But the flowy, feminine look of the dress makes me feel great!

Bimba Y Lola is a store I equate with bright colors and a mod, funky design aesthetic. Found on sale, I really liked this blouse for its colors and keyhole slit in the front. You can wear almost any color bottom with it because the top itself has many
colors to play against. I usually like wearing it to work with black
pants or with casual denims for a weekend outing.

FashMob is a nice online site for shopping for affordable,
on-trend apparel. I was drawn to this magenta dress right away. The sash detail
is really unique (you can tie it in the front as a bow or in the back – your choice)
and the cut is very flattering. It makes for a great cocktail dress or for any
dressy event. The tassle earrings and ikat cluth (made with Uzbekistan silk
material) is from Just Gaya’s, another online store based in Singapore with an
amazing collection of accessories.
