Thai Designers Fashion Feature: Disaya

Disaya's latest pre-Spring/Summer 2013 collection is simply divine and her theme of 'Merry-Goes-Around' is really reflected in the designs. 



I love the flirty style of the dresses especially the colour scheme. The outfits are just so cute and perfect for everyday!
Once again, the simplicity of the designs and the little details have created a collection that should be in the next W (hopefully we'll see this in soon)!


I am sorry to say that this will be my last featured Thai designer!

Summer Fashion: Handling the Heat

I hate humidity. Don’t get me wrong, I love a beautiful summer day just like everyone else, but I can not stand the feeling of sweat dripping down my back, clothing clinging to me, or having to constantly re-adjust due to the uncomfortableness heat forces on me. Clothing should allow you to express yourself and sometimes the high temperatures can make it seem almost impossible to do so. Luckily, there are many different stylish options to combat the heat all at very reasonable prices. As you all know by now, I am on a beach holiday so some of these looks may not be able to be worn in the city!
Just like maxi dresses but cooler…literally. The high-low silhouette is super on trend this season and a great way to beat summer heat. Long flowy fabrics create a breeze within the garment and pairing them with a shorter hem just enhances this. High-low dresses can be found at every extreme, from long trains to super short front and everything in between. Also, because of their versatility, these dresses can easily be dressed up, for a date night, or dressed down, for a music or art festival. What’s not to love?

Shorts, and bottoms in general, are really taking center stage this season. Shorts can be found in many different styles this summer. From different prints, prints, colors, materials– shorts leave you with endless options for a cool summer look. With the right length, shorts can remain classy while still giving your legs room to breathe.
There are many different styles of tops this season to beat the summer heat. Crop tops are making a huge come back and are a fantastic way to stay chic and cool. These type of tops also provide an opportunity for a fun DIY project. Try taking some of your old tees and cutting them up to make your very own crop/cut-out top!
Whether worn alone or under tops, like the ones described above, bandeaus are the perfect solution to tastefully show some skin. Because bandeaus can be worn alone, they give you the ability to not have to deal with the inconvenience of wearing camisoles or tanks under your tops, which can really add on heat in the summer. A bandeau does suffice as an undergarment but it should not be regarded in the same way. Unlike a bra, It’s ok, and actually kind of encouraged, to have your bandeau show through your top.
Rompers, like dresses, are a super easy way to stay comfortably cool in the summer. However, unlike dresses, rompers give you the freedom to move around anyway you want, which can make all the difference when it’s hot out. Rompers are a  whole outfit in one and are effortlessly cool. With the right styling, they can be appropriate for a number of occasions.
Wide brim hats are not only super stylish but they’re also practical. The wide brim of the hat will give you the protection and shade that you need from the hot summer sun. Although these hats are definitely a statement piece, they’re extremely easy to integrate into your everyday look. For a feminine vibe, try a light-colored hat in white, tan, or a pastel, and pin a hair flower around the band. For an edgier look, try tying a scarf in a bold color or print, around a hat in a contrasting colour.
You can beat the heat and stay cool this summer without sacrificing style or putting a strain on your wallet. Which way is your favorite to dress for this scorching weather?

Outfit of the Day: Mountain Fashion

I do apologise that I have been unable to post many outfit of the days with me in the image, but I promise to post more this holiday!
Here is my outfit for today, I am wearing a maxi dress with a loose over shirt. 


The shirt is from Forever 21 and the maxi dress is from Shout!.
The shirt is so light and airy even though it is long sleeved and the maxi dress, although it is elasticated lycra,is really cooling and floaty; altogether the ideal summer outfit!

These are all pretty amazing and the brushes haven't come apart at all, except the head of one of the brushes on the H&M brush came off. 
But these are all my favourite items from Budget Brands that can all be bought at a

Favourite Shoes





These are definitely my favourite shoes at the moment. 
The heels, from New Look, I wore at both prom and several Model united Nations conferences. They may be ridiculously high, but they are unbelievably comfortable. They are black suede and I really like the zip at the back which makes them much more comfy than the typical strap. I adore the cutouts at the front especially the peep toe.
The coral flats are from New Look and are coincidentally suede-like material as well! I really love the little black bow detail at the front which just adds something to it. They look amazing with my purple cigarette trousers. 
The final pair are Primark and were a real steal. They are incredibly comfy once broken in and the little metallic studs really help dress up the typical jeans and tshirt combination.
I also own a pair of brown moccasins which I wear almost on a daily basis but they are so battered that I decided not to post an image.
