FASHION FRIDAY: PEPLUM LOVE

TGIF lovelies! 

It's Friday again and its Fashion Friday time! 

I don't know if it's due to the convenience of the perfect full length mirror in the elevator of my new place or the fact that I am starting to enjoy playing dress up - but this Fashion Friday segment seems to be going well! I hope you guys enjoy it too! 

(I should probably invest in a proper camera & tripod and stop taking reflection shots using my trusty iPhone4S)

You don't need to be a fashion-fanatic to know that Peplum is the "Justin Bieber" in the fashion world. Peplum is rising to its fame in the fashion world, Peplum has been making its appearance everywhere - on the street, at the business district, in the bar, at Sunday brunches.......

It was love at first sight with Peplum when it made its first appearance - but it was quite a mission for me to find "the one" as most Peplum doesn't quite complement my body shape. 

 Hence, you could probably imagine how happy I was when I finally came across "the one" from Ally!

  

Pair it with a bodycon jungle green skirt; 

And my new steels from Rubi

From RUBI, $10 for everything. Yes, that's right! :)

 Steels (especially the ones in Rose Gold) is definitely one of my spring favourites which made my first Love List! :)

FASHION FRIDAY: RED TIGHTS + LOAFERS + FAUX FUR

THANK GOD it's FRIDAY, cupcakes!

This week has been dragginggggg on - anyone else is with me? 

Despite this long week, it's unbelievable how quick time has raced by and we are marching into the EIGHTH month of 2012.  2012 hasn't exactly been my year - let's hope the remaining second half of the year is a better one! 

ANYHOOS,  yours truly is in the (rather slow) process of revamping and introducing new topics into ThroughBeautyEyes.Com. I have quite a few ideas in my mind but it's going to be quite some time before they can all be executed. Baby steps people, so bear with me for the time being. =)

Since I am putting more effort into dressing up and am trying to broaden my knowledge in the world of fashion, FASHION FRIDAY will now be my very own lookbook to diarise the stuff I wear. 

My first instalment of Fashion Friday consists of animal prints loafers, coloured tights & faux fur jacket! 

Perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch with the girlfriend. :)

I have been on the hunt for a pair of animal printed loafers for yonkers and of course, when ZU was selling these at a fraction of its original price, Adeline could not say no. Did I mention they were leather too? 

Value buys always give me a great sense of satisfaction - especially for products/ items that I have been lemming for a long time! 

Long sleeve tunic top - Cotton On

Red tights - Cotton On

Faux Fur Jacket - TEMT 

Loafers - ZU

Rings - Online & Malaysia

A lazy sunday also means au naturale FOTD - give your skin some space to breathe! :)

Skip the daily foundation, eyeshadows & eyeliner and go straight to the mascara (to "open up" your eyes), mineral powder (for a light coverage), blush (for a nice glow) & of course your favourite lippie!!

This is definitely one my favourite weekend combos which ticks off the boxes of the 3Cs.

Comfortable, Casual & Chic. 

Hope you enjoy this new fashion "segment" on le blog and let me know if there's anything else that you'd love to see more on this blog! All inputs welcome! :D

What is your ideal lazy Sunday style?

XOXO,

A

OUTFIT OF THE DAY: ACCESSORIZED

Happy hump days! 

I could so do with some mid week bubbly time! Who's with me? =P

I am not sure about you, but I tend to "dress up" slightly on Fridays - be it accessories, a "dressier" piece of clothing or even a more sultry make up look. To me, the word "Friday" also act as a double agent for sneaky drink at lunch, after work drinks which may potentially lead to some shenanigans with all the dancing happenin'. 

Instead of sipping a glass of Sauvignon Blanc #LikeAClassyLady at your favourite bar in your Monday-Thursday, prim and proper and maybe a tad boring corporate wear, why not spice up your outfit a little with some accessories?

Here's a breakdown of what I wore last Friday:

 Rose Statement Necklace: EQUIP / Stone Ring:EQUIP / Spiral & Wing rings: EQUIP /Pink Wrist Belt: SPORTS GIRL

Never underestimate what a simple but elegant statement necklace can do to your otherwise casual/dull outfit. 

 See what I mean?

My dress would have looked plain and somewhat casual without the statement necklace! In fact, I had quite a few colleagues wondering if I had a special event that night as they reckon I was "pretty dressed up". In fact, this is one of my more "couldn't be bothered" Friday outfits. 

Dress: Dotti/ Maroon platforms: ZU/ Pea Coat: ASOS / Belt: Forecast/ Rings: Equip/ Wrist Belt: Sports Girl

FOTD: Lancome Rouge In Love Lipstick is mad love <3 

Do you "dress up" a little for work on Friday too?

Or are you one of the less lazy ones around who change after work?

What's your current favourite piece of accessories? 

Hope you lovelies are having a great week so far!!

XOXO.
