OOTD #28: Fanatics Game Day X Shirley Charlin

Finding that perfect outfit that suits the humid weather in Singapore to attend a sports meet is tough. I want to have a sweet girl look yet sporty but not sweaty. That pleasant looking sporty girl look, although I am not a sport woman. That is even tougher.

However, when it comes to a dressing up challenge. I would definitely give it a try. For Outfit Of The Day (OOTD) #28, I am going to give the sports luxe idea a try with two of the MLB hats from Fanatics
When I think of a baseball look, I am going to match it with a cap. Hereby, I choose New Era L.A. Dodgers Ladies 9FORTY Neon Tri-Blend Adjustable Trucker Hat in PINK from Fanatics.
I love this cap at first sight.
I am always finding this cap that has a caption with a country of USA. I am not a fan of pink, but this cap makes me love pink a lot. For this cap only. I repeat: Only for this cap, I like pink for this once. Because everything on this web site are officially licensed and they provides a 365 day return, I can still change to something blue!

Besides I think that this cap in pink can really match the blue baby doll dress I got from a local retail shop in Singapore. Totally PERFECT for my sweet girl's look. LOL. Why do I sound like a tourist... I am a Singaporean FYI. But I would really love to have this cap. 

Here is what I would wear with this pink cap:

Neutrogena Sun Block Lotion with SPF 50+ // Blue Baby Dress (Picture from Pinterest) // 
Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder From Collection // 
Zip- Front Faux Leather Bag From Forever 21// Number 480 from New Balance//

If I were you, I will heed advise from Beauty Guru, Michelle Phan. She says: " A little goes a long way." I will not apply full make up if I really wanted to, to a sports meet. 

Next, For those who are more into pants. Here is a look I came out with- Sporty Chic. It is even simpler and lightweight than the sweet girl's look. I think? 
Replace the cap I bought from Cotton On some time back, with New Era L.A. Dodgers Authentic 2013 Clubhouse 39THIRTY Flex Hat in White . It totally gives a slightly edgy look, from a sweet looking girl to a "Hey There I am so going to support my favourite sports team!" with a little bit of girl touch to it. I love this cap also for the obvious reason - IT IS BLUE! Not going to out with a full blue outfit. Majority of the cap is actually white in color, makes me looks clean at the same time.

I am wearing a Knotted Top at SGD$10 in the sale section. I bought from Factorie in their retail outlet at Causeway Point. I totally love this top because it reminds me of Taylor Swift's top (the one with a knot at the bottom) that she wore in her "22" MV.

I was wearing a pair of green legging pants I bought from a random trolley shop. I bought it because of its loud color. I had been matching it with other bright colors lately.

I prefer carrying backpacks then sling bags because I can put many things inside and the weight of my bag will balance on both of my shoulders. I chose Baggu Duck Bag from Forever 21. I am just so into Forever 21. How I wish that the apparels sold in Forever 21 in Singapore can be as cheap as those I bought in Seattle. :(

Do not bring too much to a sport meets or any other days. I learnt that when I was in BC during last Christmas. Shop for new stuffs as you walk around. I like to explore around and try out new stuffs. Explore, learn and have fun!

I have recently bought Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder from Shopping Arcade located inside of the school campus that I am currently studying in. The powder is really light weight and does not makes me feel sticky at all. It really did last for more than 8 hours. 

Remember to hydrate yourself! The bottle is from Blogilates. Totally love Cassey and her breakthrough as she is doing what she loves to do! I am glad to have found her youtube channel - Blogilates. I had been following her monthly fitness calendar most of the time. #Confession 

-
I appreciate authentic stuffs because they are hard work of every designers. I am a person who will definitely purchase authentic accessories from anywhere if I have the money.

After a long hiatus, I have finally upload a video of the two outfits I came out with the cap I have both from Cotton On! I have finally uploaded a new video for Fashion Barbie! 

I hope everyone who watches this will love the video!  How I matches my cap with the two outfits I picked and still able to wear them in Sunny Singapore. Please remember to subscribe to my Youtube Channel! 





Lol... I just recalled that I have a old blogpost where I wore my blue beanie to town for OOTD #7.

Remember to try out new outfits and explore. You can get inspiration from any other fashion bloggers, yet still be original, be daring and be bold.

Anime Festival Asia 2014

Anime Festival Asia (AFA) was held during December 5 to 7 this year. Is a series of anime conventions held in the Southeast Asian region, with a core annual convention held in Singapore. The main convention is traditionally held over a weekend in mid-November. 

To me, it is a place where you will not be judged by anyone. You can feel free to dress in one of the kind outfit - Decora, Lolita or in your favourite anime characters.

I finally got to attend with my friend! 

Make a guess which character did I sort of cosplay as? 

Telling you in 5...

3 and a quarter...

TA DA!

DORAEMON! Did anyone of you guess it correctly?
I reached at the convention hall really late in the early afternoon. With the accompany of my friend and my friend's friend whom they want to be kept anonymous, I FINALLY WENT TO MY VERY FIRST ANIME FESTIVAL! 

As a celebration to Doraemon's 100th Anniversary, I went forth to be Doraemon for a day! (^_^)Y
and I met pikachu

Not long after I arrived, there were a few photographers complimented me for my cuteness. *Flip hair*  It was my first time attending an anime festival, also quite a few people came to me and asked if they could take a photo with me. OBVIOUSLY, I SAID YES! I was so excited and yet shy when people asked me for photographs! 

I was even more excited after I found out that Hana and Baozi are guest cosers! 

It was a coincidence when I went to the Fan Shop and they came out of the fan- meet booth! So there goes a selfie! Senpai Baozi took my IPhone and took this picture!
After which, I went to challenge the titans ... WHO WILL WIN? DORAEMON OR THE HUMANS?!

AND THE WINNER GOES TO...

NONE OTHER THAN... ME!!!
LOL... I endured my laughter for this picture because there was a videographer filming me and a random photographer kneeling down to take a picture of me.

I have not been so happy for the the longest time! Anyway, not sure if anyone is reading this blog, if you happens to have snap a picture of me and know that you took a picture of me. Kindly do email to me the pictures! Thanks you.

OOTD #27: Strips and sweatpants

I always recycle my clothes and try to find other ways of wearing them to school. I learnt how to appreciate clothes designed by designers as I grow older. I learnt that it is not about how expensive the clothes are nor it is the labels that makes you look good in the clothes that you put on. The important is how you pull it off. The way you present yourself.

There is no general studies module for the final week of term three. I took Professional Image as one of my general studies module. I learnt about the color combination. What color matches you the best according to your color tone. At the end of the lesson, I realised that I suits cool color clothes because the color of my veins on my wrist is bluer in color. If the color of your veins is more green means you suits warm color more.
