Chinese New Year

Sorry for the lack of posting. Been very busy with Chinese New Year, work and packing to go back to Melbourne. Anyway, it's the last day of the Chinese New Year, and so far it's been filled with great and enjoyable moments. I'm very blessed to have such great family and friends. And not forgetting all the cookies and yee sang! I lost count of how many yee sang's I've had, but I can say that it's more than 10! Yeah, we love our yee sang. Haha. All the food has made me a ball. Put on tons of weight since coming back and now I'm leaving the place I call home. Before I get all emotional about leaving Malaysia, I'd like to wish all of you a Happy Chinese New Year from my family to yours! (Even if its the last day). And I'll be sure to update more in the next few days!

Erin Fetherston Pre-Fall 2013

Source: Pinterest
As you all know I'm a Pinterest addict, I'm not ashamed of it! I was just scrolling through and I came across Erin Fetherston's Pre-Fall collection. And I must say, fall usually is all about the neutral tones with all the autumn leaves falling off the trees. But this collection is all about colour! I am totally in love and want everything from this collection! It's feminine and the silhouettes and prints are subtle but not too over the top. Sadly, I have no idea how to get my hands on these since I'm currently in Malaysia.

And look at the flowers! I really love the fresh flowers in the background that let everything pop out from the screen. I mean who doesn't like flowers. 

PS: I apologise for the lack of updates. And HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! (I wish I had these clothes for the New Year) and Happy Belated Valentine's Day! Hope everyone had an eventful holiday.

I know this is a way overdue post cause the SAG Awards happened last week, but I can't get over these beautiful people with their beautiful hair and makeup! I absolutely love Tina Fey's hair and makeup that screams old hollywood glam. Love the curls and the eye makeup with its subtle presence. And look at Marion Cottilard's dramatic smokey eye!

Green with Envy

It's been a long time since I blogged about my clothes. On one fine day, the sun was shouting hello world! Usually I would wear a pair of shorts out since it's so hot, but now I understand why people say if they want to feel comfortable all they do is slip into their favourite jeans! I tend to lean towards my jeans recently. They're just so comfortable! 

Anyway, my top is from Sungai Wang, jeggings from Uniqlo, clutch from Typo and shoes from Cotton On.

P.s: I've had yee sang 5 times already. I love Chinese New Year!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I recently celebrated my 4th year anniversary with my boyfriend, and I decided to make him some cookies. Some chocolate chip cookies! Nothing beats the smell of cookies fresh from the oven, right? The recipe is super easy but since I only had one baking tray, the amount of time I took to bake the cookies was way longer than expected. But it was worth it! The cookies were delicious, if I say so myself.
Here's the recipe I used. I cut down about 75g of sugar but I still thought it was a tad too sweet. Oh, and I melted the butter first. Honestly I skimped a little on the chocolate chips and I totally regretted it. I put a 100g less and I didn't feel that it was chocolatey enough. But it wasn't that bad. 

If you prefer chewy cookies just pull them out a few minutes earlier. And to make them evenly sized, I used a 1/2 tbsp measuring spoon to scoop the cookie dough on to the tray. And make sure you leave plenty of space in between the dollops cause the cookies expand like crazy. The small dollop made about 3 inch sized cookies. Trust me, I learnt that the hard way. This recipe made about 60 3 inch cookies? 

Anyway, this is the recipe to try. I'm sure it won't disappoint!
