At The Bottom Of Everything.

As promised in my shopping haul post last month, 

here's how I would wear these 6 different bottoms.
Just one of the many ways, of course.
:)

This is pretty overdue but better late than never...right? >.<
I went on a cruise during Lunar New Year and decided to shoot this onboard. With the help of my mum and her phone (Samsung Note 2), of course! :)

Hope you guys like it! :)
Pardon the grittiness for some of the photos.
I need to invest in a camera, obviously.

Neon Days

       

Orange Right In Your Face

Shirt: H&M

Denim Shorts: F21

Belt: gift (From El)

Sandals: Senso

Necklace: Aldo

Sunnies: Fossil

Supermassive B(l)ack Hole

Shirt: Sister Margarita

Tubetop: Random online shop

Denim Shorts: F21

Belt: H&M

Shoes: Itti & Otto

Bag: Aldo

Cap: A stall from *Scape (they were at my school!)

Necklace: Zara

Sunnies: Isetan

Take a chill pill and hang around the beach (or on vacays in those tropical places) in these outfits!

Denim shorts are the basic of the basics while
T-shirts and shorts are the easiest combination of them all.
But we don't want to be the typical tee and shorts dresser so...
Look for T-shirts with interesting details to stand out even in the most ubiquitous way of dressing!

I WAS ASKED TO WEAR SOMETHING

 ...RED

Please pardon the piss-poor quality of the photos!

Made of a super thin cotton, these drawstring shorts are oh-so-comfy.

I can just lounge in them all day.

The heat will never get to me! 

They may look like bed-material, but who says you can't wear pyjamas out-to-town?

Pair any pyjamas bottom with polished or luxe-feel looking tops and you're good to go! 

It's all about contrast, baby.

Shirt: NastyGal

Red Vest: Topshop

Shorts: F21

Shoes: Itti & Otto

Necklace: H&M

Arm Candy (Bracelet Ring): ASOS (I think)

~~

Vroom-Vroom 

Jeans; another staple of anyone's essential wardrobe.

Yes, t-shirts are the way-to-go, always. But as always, also, details play an important part!

Tie a flannal shirt, or in this case, a denim jacket, around your waist to create another dimension to the otherwise boring tee&jeans combo.

Shirt: Uniqlo X Laduree

Jacket: Warehouse

Jeans: Topshop

Shoes: Itti & Otto

Cap: (same as previous) *Scape

Sunnies: Isetan

Necklace: From an online shop, eons ago

Bracelet: Topshop

Colour Me Plaid

The only photo not taken on the cruise... In my defense, I did bring them onboard. Unfortunately, we missed one dining night and I didn't wear this in the end.

It seems like a difficult thing to match plaid but when all else fails, go for a solid coloured top that matches one of the colours of the plaid!

This also works with every other patterned/colourful bottoms :)

Or if you're just not feeling it, a plain white tee will ALWAYS work.

Top: Dorothy Perkins

Skirt: Pull & Bear

Shoes: ASOS

Arm Candy: Hand-me-down

Rings: Can't quite remember...

Necklace: Zara

~~

(p)Leather 

Yay for a library onboard!

Invest in a leather skirt.

It has the ability to instantly "coolify" an outfit.
Same goes for a leather jacket.
Anything leather, really.

The zipper running down the front and the uneven hemline lends this skirt its character.

I love it.

Top: Cotton On

Skirt: Pull & Bear

Shoes: Americaya

Necklace: Zara

Ring: Diva

Arm Candy: Dorothy Perkins

~~

(too) Prim and Proper

Not too fond of this photo...sadly.

Honestly, I would have done my hair up and change the shoes but...
they had to collect our luggages and I had to pack my heels in T.T

Taking the fail-safe fashion route, I paired the patterned bottom with a plain white top.
Jazz it up with a statement necklace and/or a colourful clutch!

Hope you guys were inspired by this :)
Leave a comment below or tweet/tag me (Instagram: christinehzy) how you guys would dress your bottoms!
Would really love to see them :D

Till next time.

Mini-haul: Nastygal

This deserves a post on its own, just because.

This Nastygal package arrived two weeks ago on an unassuming weekday. Sadly, I wasn't at home to welcome it.
But boy, was I one happy camper when I saw it on my room floor the next day.

~~

Look what's inside!

I find the print inside the box really cute! Kisses.

Here comes the un-boxing of my purchases~
Just let me tell you that I was VERY EXCITED.
Since words can't capture how stoked I was.

Featured: Senso's Qimat Booties in Mint
(Sold out on Nastygal but you can find them here or here)


I've been eyeing these for the longest time. The price was what kept me at bay.
Then Nastygal had a shoe flash sale up to 70% off! (wickedly naughty of them!) 

Tell me, please, how do I resist that!
(El did tell me not to get them but I just couldn't leave them be.... sorry!)

Tried them on right away and they fit perfectly.
These may be my go-to shoes for school from now on.

First impression
OH GOSH, THE SMELL OF LEATHER.
Pretty green!
~~

Featured: Nastygal Shoecult's Diverge Combat Boot

I got these combat boots because, 1) two months ago, mine decided to depart for shoe heaven; 2) it is made of genuine leather; 3) it was at a really reasonable price (during the sale) compared to my recently-departed pair.

They cut my legs off a little higher than what I'd like but nonetheless, they are a good pair.
Hope they last longer than my departed ones from f21.
After all, these are made of genuine leather.

The only thing that irked me was the MIC tag, but otherwise I quite like it.
Boots for the rainy days.

First impression
Oohh, there's a shoebag and wow, so soft.
OH YES I LOVE THE SMELL OF LEATHER.

Featured: Nastygal's Colour Prism Skirt 

 I needed something to make up the difference needed for free shipping. So, I chose this partly because it looks really rad, and partly due to the price. My closet needs the colour anyway!

Seems like it's from a brand called English Rose. Hmm.
Also, another MIC product.

Was actually worried about the size but it fit me perfectly.
I found it amusing that the whole thing is elasticised though.
Since it's so colourful, I will most probably pair it with a white t-shirt, tucked in.

First impression
Whoa, so colourful, multi prism alright, oh my god, it's heavy. Ooh elastic.
~~

Can't wait to wear them out!
That's all folks.

Till next time.

Love,

Christine xoxo
