What I wore: Denim on denim...

This is the first time i ever tried the denim on denim look...

I saw this floral denim shirt a few days before my birthday and instantly thought, 'birthday gift to self'! Luv it!

Birthday loot!

This is a late post... I already had this ready for posting a month ago and suddenly clicked the discard button accidentally! I already typed a novel (I think!) I hate when that happens! But anyway, I'm giving this post another go...

It was my birthday last month and I got a quite a few loots, some of them gifts to self, some were birthday gifts from my two guys...

 If you know me well enough, you'll know that I'm a sucker for accessories!

Cuffs and bracelets in group are a local find, the mint necklace was a great find at H&M (on sale really cheap!), the layering necklaces are purchased separately at a local store and the black bib statement necklace was also purchased at a local accessories store I frequent...

Tops and scarves from H&M

Floral denim button-down top, love this! (I recently wore it denim on denim and it was cute!)

The snow globe was a gift from Gabe, the pearl earrings and the SHU UEMURA lash curlers were from the hubs (well, he initially was gonna buy me any shoes of my choice but I told him to buy me the shu uemura lash curlers instead =), and I just had to have 2 aviators from H&M, why not? It was my birthday remember?

Layering necklaces

Just how cute are these necklaces? I just love the bone-shaped necklace filled with blings, reminds me of my Britney love =)

I also couldn't leave behind the other one and so I got them both! 

Perfect necklaces for layering!

I'd always find something to add to my outfit to make it visually interesting, and since it's now fall here - scarf season (tho the weather isn't much so) I added a couple of scarves - some of my birthday loot (teal/pink - left and green paisley - right) to my growing collection..

I wore it over my black tank dress with statement necklaces and cuffs...

I wore it over my short green summer dress (H&M)...

And over a maxi dress (which I'm lovin'!)...

Summer nails

This polish not only looks like chocolate, it also smells soo yum I always find myself sniffing them!

WIW [New favorite - Stripes top]

Sorry for the pic quality (taken by my iPhone under low light in an elevator =)

Can I just say again that this is my favorite top at the moment? Although it's summer, I still love wearing it because it's sooo breezy  and light despite the longer sleeves... and just coz it's stripe! Can I also say that I love anything and everything stripes? It's so versatile, I can wear them with just about everything in my closet! So far, I've worn this top 4 times since I bought it and paired with boyfriend jeans, white skinnies, denim cut-offs and blue skinny jeans... I have plans of pairing them with a lace skirt for a more dress-up feel with pearl necklace maybe? And mint skinnies, white shorts, so excited!

Wonder why my shoes is like that, weird!

Stripes top - H&M

White skinnies - H&M

Tie-dye bag - Bershka

Teal flats - forgot the brand

Statement necklace - have that for 3 years

Summer sandal hoarding -Metallics is in!

If the shoe fits, buy it in every color so they say, and so I did!

And so this is another edition of: 'so nice, buy it twice' peeps!

I can't decide which color to get, so I got them in both gold and silver, they look a lot like this American Eagle Outfitters gold flipflops which retails in the US for $24.95, and these silver and bronze ones from Gap...

well i paid less than $10 for one, that's a lot cheaper!

...and this one is a look-alike of this sandals from J.Crew which retails for a whopping $158. Whew! Thank God for knock-offs!

Now, time for a fresh pedi! =)

Colored skinnies, leopard-print, stripes

I have amassed quite a collection of colored denims over the past year, I think I have 12 pairs now (quite an obsession)  and i love all of them! 

 I love colors! Makes me happy! They come from various brands, a few are from H&M... 

Summer Neutrals

Shorts and miniskirts are out! My legs can't stand being wrapped in skinny jeans anymore...

So from here on in, prepare to see lots of legs, coz it will be a staple sight here in the blog,  *grin*
