Outfit of the night: All black cropped.

To welcome the long weekend,

I chose a crop top and a skirt.

the mandals were just of convenience and added to my black statement.

it's gotten too hot to wear any more than this.

and these pics were taken around 2am last night

after a girls night out

which got me happily exhausted

so please excuse the quality 

: P

(P.S. we all know who the dude behind me is..)

I got this awesome cropped top from ForeverXXI

in both black and white.

(i'll show you how I wore my white one soon : D)

and one thing I wanted to point out is

I wouldn't suggest getting a really prestigious cropped tank

because they stretch out after awhile and don't fit as nice

and then you would have to get a new one.

Having to keep replacing them at a high price would NOT be something I'd wanna do.

Suddenly summer

When it feels like summer,

you have to dress like summer.

in just the right tone,

in just the right colours,

with just the right print

of just the right fruit.

My summer shorts are better than yours.

and they are not just plain old boring shorts.

They are made of length-appropriate flaps

or otherwise known as

slit-front shorts !

Super breezy, super comfortable, super awesome.

My horizontal SUN Cèline tote completes the look perfectly

with just enough room for nothing-much-needed : P

cuz what do you need to carry around when you are just chillaxing?

<Stanley, Hong Kong>

Simplicity,

Relaxation,

Comfort

and Style.

Perfect weekend material.

Introducing the 1-month old fiancé and fiancée

Taking a month to inform the VIPs of my life,

of our lives,

before publicizing this News of the Decade

was my idea of love and respect 

to those who love and respect us.

Over the course of this month since it happened that morning in Paris,

I've seen some of the happiest smiles

heard the loudest screams of delight 

felt the tightest hugs

recieved the most CAPS LOCKed messages

and most of all

realized the most important thing of anything I ever do at all..

and that is

no matter how happy something makes me

nothing makes me happier

than seeing the people around me being happy for me.

It truly is the best feeling ever.

Thank you friends and family for making me feel so so so loved

and being so so so happy for me, for us.

Your reactions were truly precious

priceless

and unforgettable.

Just being able to tell each and everyone of you in person

was a gift in itself.

And here's to the rest of the world:

I SAID YES!

heehee..

We often miss opportunity because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work.

I enjoy comfortable trends.

I pick them up as soon as I can

and fly with them.

How can you stay on the ground when you feel so comfortable?

: D

 

It's all about keeping the balance between comfort

and not looking like I just got up from the couch in my living room

The mandals just adds to the comfort

and my super mini classic was there to dress the casualness up a few notches.

Shoes are boring, wear sneakers.

No matter what day of the week it is,

always change into comfy shoes after work.

I was heading to our friend's birthday dinner last night,

so a skirt was totally appropriate.

but I was in my work Oxford's all day

(although all my shoes have no height, wearing proper shoes are still tiring..)
and I knew my feet wanted a break

so I put on a pair of classic Chuck Taylors to complete the look.

PERFECT

in my terms 

( :

(and no matter how hard I try to keep it down,

my hair always ends up in a bun by the end of the day..)

Even the weather

is romantic in Paris.

i took this.

i really did.

looks like one of those pictures that comes up

when you google "la tour Eiffel" or "Eiffel Tower"

but no,

i took it.

Effortlessly.

that is how beautiful she really is.

i knew you wouldn't believe me,

so i took a pic of our view outside of our little romantic balcony 

before i went out every day

it's funny, in Paris.

The day usually starts out pretty gloomy and cloudy,

but as the day goes on,

the sun crawls out

behind fluorescent white clouds on a bright blue canvas.

it's almost like Love.

True love is never just blue skies and sunshine

there are always times where haze becomes allies with clouds

and everything just seems unpredictable.

It is then that we use the senses we are so blessed to have

to feel our way through

to make sense of it all

and then when the skies clear up, 

we realize how much closer

how much more in love 

we have become.

It's just so amazing.

xoxo,

mandeeeee
