Welcome to our website !
Hi guys! It’s that time of the month again – when I share my monthly lookbook details! Without further ado, let’s dive right in!

First up is this dress by Label by Ritu Kumar (they do free international shipping on orders above USD $180, by the way). This was actually gifted to me by my mom-in-law. I liked the elegant cut of the dress and its modest style. Perfect for occasions when you want to add a touch of ladylike appeal and class to your look. I borrowed my own mom’s Prada bag and a pair of closed-toed heels to complete the look. I felt like someone out of the 50s in this look  - all I’m missing is a prim hat!

From modest to something a bit more modern and edgy, here are two looks I sported in March. One is this crop top and green pants combo from Urban Revivo, a Chinese brand which has a chain of stores in Singapore. This store sort of reminds me of Zara but a slightly cheaper version of it. I threw on a silver necklace which I had purchased a long time ago from Stella & Dot and added my camera bag for a fun, quirky look.

The other look is where I paired my new polka dot blouse from Zara with my old Bershka yellow blazer. You would think that a yellow blazer would be hard to pair with anything but I actually wear it quite often! I paired the blouse and blazer with denim shorts and booties. If I was in a colder climate, I would definitely have worn tights as well – they always look so good with shorts as a winter look.

Now for something a bit more fun and flirty. I bought this dress from Konacoco, a Singapore-based label, which is up and coming. The dress has a very spring/summer feel to it with its frill and flare details and spaghetti straps. But I chose to throw on a utility jacket just to cover up a bit more for a professional event I was attending. The belt and the shoes are matching and kept a neutral nude color given the bright color of the dress.

This look might look familiar! It’s essentially a slightly modified version of the look I styled with the Sezanne polka dot skirt from last month. The only difference is that I turned what was a professional, corporate look (see here)  into something more casual by wearing sneakers and putting on a striped blouse. Played around with pattern mixing, using stripes and polka dots. What do you think?

You don’t see me often in Indian ethnic wear. As much as I like wearing desi clothes, I’m just not in the habit of it. But I did pick up this simple suit from Rangriti when I was in Mumbai last December on sale. I liked its peachy orange color with cream. It’s very wearable for the daytime so I hope to wear it a lot more often. 


The East Coast is among my favorite places to hang out in Singapore. Wide open green spaces, the ocean front, paved paths for scenic bike rides, playgrounds, restaurants/cafes, and areas for picnics are all part of what the East Coast has to offer. It's a great hangout spot for kids and adults alike. Which is what led me to the idea of having my birthday party there a few months ago. I booked one of the picnic grill spots and threw a BBQ party. We had a great time and the party was a success partly because the location was just so great. A lovely breeze and a romantic view of sailboats bobbing in the ocean in front of us were the perfect props to the party. Being by the beach allowed the kids to be happily occupied with playing in the sand while the adults could get their time together. In addition, I had hired a BBQ-er and ordered a variety of different foods (veg and non-veg) through HungryBBQ.com, a great service if you're looking to outsource the messy job of BBQing food yourself. Someone comes and takes care of everything from setting up the grill, cooking the food, and cleaning up so that you can focus on the main task at hand - socializing with friends without the burden of cooking! Everything went off perfectly. Something to consider next time you're planning a party! :)

Moving on to the pictures...I'm sporting a boho chic look here with my hat (purchased from a hat store at Haji Lane), my tasseled Rebecca Minkoff cross body bag, and my Urban Revivo top (read about this relatively new brand here and how I love it!). I got here just in time to catch the sunset and it was beeeautiful!

Not too long back, I fell in love with a purse sported by one of my favorite bloggers, Kathleen from Carrie Bradshaw Lied. It was a Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bag and surprise, surprise - it had tassels. So of course, I had to have it. Luckily, my good ol' sister was flying in to Singapore from the States so I ordered the purse from Zappos.com and had it shipped to her address. It arrived just before she had to fly out...so that she could hand deliver it to me in Singapore. This scallop, black shift dress is another purchase I made on a U.S. store online called Boohoo.com. This too was shipped to my sister's address so that she could bring it to Singapore with her.

My point here is - there are all these great online stores that offer free shipping and returns. But they are limited in that they only cater to the U.S. so people like us in Asia are unable to take advantage of it. What a pity! It's one of the things I miss about living in the U.S. Nevertheless, this situation has inspired me to find more online stores that are Asia-centric. I know there are several Indian websites and I have successfully used online stores like sheinside.com in the past. Do you have any other websites to recommend, dear reader?
