[OUTFIT] Blanc et Noir

For friends who know me personally or friends who've been reading my blog or following me on Instagram, you'd know I'm a huge fan of prints.

I'm definitely not one you'd classify as minimalist. 

But for this outfit, 

I decided to try out something different from my usual style.

I've been very inspired by the wide leg palazzo pants look that's been trending all through spring and summer.

Contrary to popular belief about palazzo pants being only for tall thin women/models, 

I think someone who's vertically challenged can also pull off this look with the right kind of pairing and foot wear of course!

To balance out the wide leg silhouette, I chose to pair it with a simple loose fit sleeveless white button down which was perfect for our tropical weather.

I'd also pair it with fitted tops but personally I'd prefer to strike a balance by pairing with  

off-shoulder designs or horizontal stripes.    

The long length of the pants actually added height to my petite frame when paired with heels.

The height of the heels will also be affected by the length of your pants.

For mine, I think I altered it a tad too short for me to actually wear higher heels so I chose to pair it with this silver kitten heel to give it a metallic modern touch that went well with my necklace, earrings and watch.

Though the heels are not very high, I felt super tall in my palazzo pants that day!

Totally loving the roomy leg space too :)

[OUTFIT] Spring Florals x Marmalade Pantry

Been wanting to try out Marmalade Pantry for the longest time and finally did when I met up with the lovely Jilyn for lunch recently.

We tried the one at Ion Orchard and since it was lunch time, there was a queue. 

But boy was I glad that the queue wasn't unbearably long or anything!

:)

Though this outlet was inside a mall, it had an alfresco concept so it was quite refreshing from the usual enclosed eateries. 

Anyway, going alfresco in the Singapore heat would probably send all of us indoors!

LOL~

 A picture before the meal!

I ordered a classic Macaroni & Cheese cos I was in the mood for something cheesy and creamy! 

The shallow pan looked deceiving enough, felt like I can stomach a slice of cake after finishing the mac and cheese but boy was I wrong!

It was very, very filling and I couldn't even finish it! 

Here's Jilyn with her crab meat penne!

They were also pretty generous with their portions

We both tried their pasta but didn't try their brunch sets or anything so if you'd like to visit them, here's their address!

Time for some outfit photos!

I was dreaming of Spring when I was planning this outfit in my head.

Thought it was time to bring my floral blazer out after having bought it for so long!

I paired the floral blazer with the classic origami skort and an electric blue tank to add some colour.

Completed my look with my black booties, red soldier bag and crystal necklace stolen from mom's accessories stash! >.<

I've been pretty obsessed with this black booties from Charles and Keith, 

they're so comfortable and can be paired with almost anything!♥ 

I was so surprised that this pair of shoes from Charles & Keith are so comfy, 

cos to be honest they're shoes are more known for their fashion forward stylish designs rather than comfort.

Brought my soldier bag from LaPalette out after neglecting it for so long!

Love how it adds colour and a fun element to my outfit ♥

I love how dainty this necklace is! 

So good to have a mom who shares the same passion for fashion and she has an amazing accessories stash!♥
