All of these swatches are with 2 coats and with no flash. It's not really suitable for me to wear nail polish for my new job but I can get away with one coat of Bright Lights, Pink City! Love that baby doll colour <3 I really do love with all of these shades but I especially love Let's Go Scuba Diving, Party At The Gap and Another Daiquiri Please! Which are your favourite hues?

I also finally had the change to use my nail polish holder that I bought from the You've Got Nail Shop. Unfortunately, the store is closed for now but *fingers crossed* it will reopen! It is so convenient.

Wedding FOTD & OOTD | GEO Big Grang Grang Brown Lens WHC-244 15mm

Following the post on my new hair colour, I have the look I did for when I attended my friend's wedding. My hair looks quite dark here but it is definitely more obvious in a lighter setting! あまり色がはっきり見えなくてごめんね！

I wore my new lenses that I got from Lens Village and for such a large diameter (15mm) it was surprising how comfortable they were. Recently I've been experiencing very dry eyes so I try not to wear circle lens as much but was very happy with these. For those who like a smaller, more natural look, there is a size smaller in 14.2mm! Mine are the Big Grang Grang Brown Lens WHC-244 in 15mm in case you're wondering :)

Here's a close up, I hope you can see more of the details of the lens. 大きめだけどナチュラル系。

素敵なWedding Reception. The bride loves pink and the decoration was of course, pink! It was so gorgeous <3

Here is my outfit that I wore to the ceremony & reception: White blazer - Cecil McBee, red dress - Portmans, heels - Forever 21. My bag isn't pictured here but I did take out my baby for once! My Chanel classic 2.55 <3 I posted a picture on my instagram if you'd like to take a look! x

My friend and I were team RED & BLUE. I guess we can fit into that colour blocking category together.

And there we have it! I hope you enjoyed my update for today, I am so sorry I did have to rush this a little as I am in desperate need of sleep! It has almost been a month now but waking up at 6am everyday is still pretty tough, I'm still not used to it hehe.

Thank you for all the sweet comments, tweets, emails & support my lovely readers <3 <3 Goodnight! お休みなさい☆

SUI Hair Salon | My New Hair Colour

Hi everyone, I'm finally updating with my new hair colour! Just a heads up first because I know the two after shades look drastically different. Don't want to confuse you all~ My new colour was originally meant to be 'Light Ash Brown' but it appears to be really hard to get that perfect colour that I've been after for a while now. Apparently this is the lightest I can go without bleach, for now anyway. In an indoor lighting + flash it looks like a chestnut brown but in natural lighting you can see more of the Ash tones.

In the below images, the colours look completely different and I definitely prefer the 2nd colour, I may need to revist later on to get it more Ash toned! Without any light shining on the hair, it looks quite dark and hard to see a difference. Nonetheless, I am so glad I took Val's reccommendation to see Sally at SUI Hair Salon! She is really experienced and definitely knows what she's doing. Although I did want lighter, I felt like leaving it up to her hehe. Can't wait to go back and start experimenting with different colour & styles!! You can see my previous hair colouring attempt in this post.

I will post more on the look in the first after picture. I attended a friend's wedding last night and there's a few more photos of the makeup and circle lens to come! Stay tuned <3

Karen Walker Single Strand Charm Necklace | Graffiti Of Jessica From SNSD (Girls Generation)

My nautical Karen Walker piece went so well with the rest of my outfit the other day. It's not a new piece but it is one of the few times I've worn it. I bought it when I was shopping with my friend Evelyn a while ago. She got the white version and I got the navy.

In Hosier Lane, I found this graffiti of member Jessica from the popular Kpop girl group Girls Generation (SNSD). It's so weird but great to see a famous Asian star's graffiti in one of our Melbourne graffiti alleyways!
(*Update* Apparently it's not there anymore :(.. )

Sweet Contemplation Accessories | Island Dreams Watch

Introducing you to my new perfectly customised watch from Sweet Contemplation Accessories. I had been on a hunt for a pretty watch that wasn't from a luxury brand and finally, I found the perfect design.

I got mine customised to the way I liked it. You can have a look at the original Island Dream watch here. It was already nice but I just knew a darker one would suit my style more! I never even dreamt of finding a watch with pearl pieces decorated on it and I know, it may seem like I'm making a big deal out of it but I was just really, really happy with my purchase :)

It fits perfectly on my wrist because I was able to measure & then order :) Yay yay yay! It's just a pity that i'm not able to wear watches during work hours!

Sorry about the quick entry. If you follow me on twitter, you would know I just started a new job & it's so full on that I hardly have any time for the blog but I made sure I drafted some on the weekend so here's one of them hehe! <3 Oh and don't forget to enter my Hello Kitty Giveaway :)
