I’ve come to realize that Essie is probably the only nail polish brand that offers such a wide selection of beautiful pastel colours. The pastel pink shade is called French Affair while the Lavender hue is called Nice is Nice. Both colours are from the Essie 2011 Spring Collection.

I saw the mini sized nail polishes at an Asian cosmetic shop at just $5 each, decided I couldn’t resist such a good deal and brought them both home with me. They may not the latest colours, but they’re gorgeous nonetheless!

This lovely Black & Orange Pleated Dress sports a classic design in bold contrasting colours by Hong Kong designer Ju’s. You may not be able to tell from the pictures, but the quality of the material is absolutely superb!

The cut may look simple but the expert tailoring is the reason behind the evenly distributed pleats (extremely difficult to come by these days) and cascading flared skirt, which falls gradually before it opens up like a blooming flower, enveloping the female silhouette in a graceful manner.


I received nothing but praises when I wore this beauty out in Sydney. Great minds think alike, which explains why it’s currently sold out! Fret not though, for you can always click on the “bring it back” button to add it to your wishlist. 😉

Plus, I figured it’ll be fun to try it out. 😉
