I like that Amelie-Anne’s dresses are usually made of a special rayon/spandex blend, which is very comfortable next to your skin. With Amelie Anne, comfort and workmanship always come hand in hand, at a pocket-friendly price to boot.

If you prefer the sweet, girl-next-door look, perhaps the Dusk Pink version would tickle your fancy?

If you were to ask me to use 3 words to describe this dress, I would say it is simple, classy and fabulous!

I love to admire gorgeous decorative items and ornaments, but whenever I get tempted to purchase them, I get stopped by my husband! 🙁

By night, the city comes to life in a different way, gleaming under the moonlight like precious jewels. It almost feels like you’re in Disneyland.

Magical.

I’ve never mentioned this before, but I was inspired to share my views on friendship after some recent revelations. I draw very clear lines between work, friends and family. At work, I’m very demanding and I admit I may not be the most patient person to work with due to my expectations.

With friends, I’m more patient as all I expect is a listening ear and companionship, nothing more. In general, I don’t like to trouble my friends for help as the last thing I want to do is to cause any inconvenience. Sometimes, mixing friendship with work is a sure recipe for disaster because everyone has different working styles and you may not realize that a friend’s working style is vastly different from yours until it comes to the crunch, and this inevitably strains the relationship.

I try to show compassion, respect and consideration, and will reciprocate if someone does so as well. But if I feel someone has taken me for granted without showing me consideration, I get upset. Then again, I don’t get upset for long as those close to me would know I never do bear grudges.

Of course, strangers and acquaintances are entitled to their own opinions of what sort of person I am, but I don’t care about their impressions because we either don’t know each other very well, or at all, and I don’t see the need to explain myself to people who do not matter. 🙂 Time is such a precious commodity that the only way to make good use of it is to spend it with people who matter, understand, and reciprocate. These are people who will stand by you, always.

On a lighter note, I’m ending this post with my outfit for that evening. Everything was from my recent Bangkok trip, except for my socks (from Daiso) and heels (from a random neighbourhood shop).

I used my own sash here to create a different look, just to show you how easy it is to add variation to your wardrobe with a classic design. 😉

Sometimes, we never do treasure what we have till we are this close to losing the people dearest to us. Likewise, absence does make the heart grow fonder.

I was really amused by this shot of my mum and my brother! They were both wondering what I was doing with the camera when I took this candid shot of them. 😛

This year, my outfits are mostly inspired by The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald. There’s a movie coming out later this year too and I’m very much looking forward to it.
