Ellie Update: Instaweek








I know that I have not been regular with my instagram week updates but here is one of my latest ones!
I have recently developed an obsession with pugs, whether it has been fuelled by my love for Millie Mackintosh or my constant exposure to them on tumblr; I love them and I want one. 
Recently I have been privileged enough to receive a beautiful Monsoon Top from Surbala (which I will post on later) but here is a little sneak peak in the 4th picture! The last two pictures are from the night that my brother and I went to watch the school production of Grease which was absolutely amazing and wow just wow! So the last two pictures feature me and my brother and then my beautiful topshop dress that I bought in Singapore!

As an avid and passionate instagrammer, there is nothing that I enjoy more than looking at other peoples photos, whether they be celebrities or friends. The brief snapshot into their lives is really quite a brilliant idea! Some bloggers have recently started to share some of their favourite instagram images of the week, so I am following suite by doing the same! *none of these pictures are mine*
I've only just realised that all of my favourites are from the Kardashian/Jenner family! Who can blame me, all three of them post amazing photos!

Ellie Update: Multiculturalism


[My brother and I in colour coded Baju's]

Today was international day at my school and it most definitely has to be one of the most colourful days of the year!
The wide variety of costumes that students would wear, really did reflect the cosmopolitan image of the school. I am so fortunate to be attending the school that I am and today only reconfirmed that!

Most of the countries that we all live in are becoming increasingly more cosmopolitan and are exposing us to a huge range of cultural aspects of various nationalities. This is an ethos that my school strives to present to the students; a key aspect of attending an international school.

For the day, my family dressed up in our take on traditional Malay attire with my mum and I wearing Baju Kebayas and my dad and brother wearing Baju Melayu.

Conference Couture

In only two weeks I will be flying to Singapore (once again) for a Model united Nations conference! However, this one is very much a different scenario to the others as this one is The Hague International Model United Nations, which is probably one of the biggest in South East Asia! 
I honestly don't think I have ever been this excited! One of my favourite things about these conferences, besides being able to argue and debate, but dressing up in a professional manner.
Many of us are rarely able to dress up formally, so I am definitely excited about being able to wear some of my new purchases!
Here are some of my new dresses for the conference:





Both dresses are from Dorothy Perkins, I'm not sure why but the cut of the dresses in there seem to suit me well! The shoes are from New Look and the only accessory is my Tiffany open heart necklace, simple and classic. 
I'm so excited! Have you guys got any exciting events coming up soon?

Confessions of a Shopaholic: Beauty Edition

Hello lovelies,

About a week ago, my family and I took off for a whirlwind trip around Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and unlike Brunei, KL had much more to offer shopping wise!

So basically, everyday involved us visiting some sort of mall, whether it be big, small or just plain fancy. However, this did cause an unfortunate rapid deterioration in my bank account! Although, I do have some purchases that I am in love with at the moment!

[Topshop makeup- Isn't the packaging so pretty?]

[I love the scarlet hue of 'Hazard' and the subtle tone to 'Rumour Has It']

[Sheer lip glosses from Forever 21]

[Basic full-sized Tweezerman tweezers. The best tweezers in the world]

[Revlon lipstick in Blush and mascara in Sexy Curves; Full Figure. The lipstick actually smells really nice, it's like scented!]

[I am addicted to Baby Lips by Maybelline and am on a mission to collect them all! They honestly do work!]

[I know these are accessories, but I caught them in a sale and the designs are actually so precious and classy]

[Victoria's Secret body sprays all smell phenomenal to say the least, and these two are my current favourites!]

Of course, I did buy different things as well as makeup, but that will have to be another post!
*All pictures are mine*

Kendall Jenner for Genlux Magazine

I am completely in love with Kendall Jenner's photoshoot for Genlux magazine. I love how she has completely broken away from the current Kardashian sex-bomb image and has entered the world of high fashion.
I simply adore the cover of the magazine, her eyes seem to just stare into my soul!

Sumptuous Sushi Delights

One thing that I am in adoration of is Japanese food. The eclectic combination of flavours and textures really provides a culinary experience like no other. 
Recently, I ate at a restaurant called 'Kaizen' and the food there was simply divine. I have never seen such an extensive menu at a Japanese restaurant. The huge variety of sashimi options, expansive amounts of maki and also the voluminous  selection of teppanyaki options all looked amazing! This made choosing my meal even harder. In the end, we settled on a variety of sushi with individual salmon teriyaki sets. 

{Cheese maki, Sake (salmon) maki, Salmon wrapped cheese ebiko maki and avocado maki}

{Roast beef and asparagus maki}

{Salmon belly teriyaki, coleslaw, fresh fruits, rice and miso soup}

Overall the meal was absolutely divine and the combination of textures and flavours was absolutely amazing. It was definitely one of the best Japanese dining experiences so far.

Lace Lullabies

{I really adore this lace jumper I bought in Indigo recently. It is so comfy and really makes my look more carefree}



I absolutely adore lace at the moment and it definitely dresses up the simple denim skirt that I paired it with.

Sorry for the short post but let me know your thoughts on the ensemble and please do leave your suggestions on other ways that I can wear the lace jumper!

Mocktail Madness

Today I attended a cooking class specialising in mocktails! I had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the opportunity to make some yummy and healthy drinks! I'm not entirely sure how they are mocktails as none of them are the classics; most of them are more like smoothies. 
The class was taught by a lovely bartender who even gave us tips on making them cocktails!  Needless to say that all of these mocktails are delicious yet so simple. 

{A blended combination of Apple Juice, Honeydew juice, Orange juice and 7-Up creates a Rainforest Magic} 
{Watermelon juice, Pineapple juice, Lemon juice and a touch of sugar syrup makes up an Empire Delight}
{Now this drink is my favourite; a Coconut Mango Bomb. Made from Coconut cream, vanilla ice-cream, milk, mango juice and ice, all blended together}
{This Carrot, Orange and Coriander concoction is made from simply carrot, orange and coriander!}
{Apple, Celery and carrot}
{Blend cranberry juice, pineapple juice, Soda water and vanilla ice cream to create Holiday Punch}
{Summer Memories is definitely a smoothie fit for summer with a simple blend of peaches, vanilla ice cream, rasberries and fresh milk}

Five Things

So although this is a five things post, I added an extra which I couldn't resist including!
These are all recent to me and I hope you enjoy!

{I bought these little dark wood elephants at a market in Thailand. Aren't they just adorable?}

{I finally finished making my business cards! How amazing are they?}

 {Daisy by Marc Jacobs is my new favourite perfume. I spent over an hour trying to decide whether to buy it or not because it is alot of money. It was worth it! There are hints of jasmine and after letting the scent sit for a while it ends up smelling like freshly cut flowers! Yum!}
 {I luckily managed to snag this gorgeous pair of sunnies during a sale in Topshop. They are such a change from my normal style but these have a more chic element to them.}
{I decided to replace my old plastic containers that I had on my dressing table that held my various cotton products with these old jam jars. It looks so cute!}
