There are some types of clothes that require very minimal or almost no accessorizing and yet can instantly make me feel beautiful inside and out. I'm a sucker for those pieces.

I always believe that finding the right clothes that can portray our personality is so important. They should always bring out who we truly are, make us feel happy and confident in ourselves. I'm not a super adventurous person, but I make an effort to get out of my comfort zone and try new things every now and then. From edgy and preppy styles as seen here and here to tomboy and sweet looks like this one and this one, nothing makes me feel quite like a sophisticated and feminine style does. I feel like I'm myself. This is who I'm and who I want to be. I love the person that I see in the mirror, and believe it or not, the moment I start loving myself, I'll begin a journey with happiness.

This Daydream sheer crop top and the Moonage peplum skirt from Michelle Worth Label are the type of clothes that I'm talking about. I was introduced to Michelle Worth, a Jakarta- based fashion label, at the end of June. As you might know, I'm quite selective on which brand I want to collaborate with nowadays, but when I first looked at their designs, I couldn't say No. Fascinating silhouettes with modern cuttings, delicate lace details, and beautiful embellishments, these dresses are tailored for women with a sense of artistic curiosity and an ability to express it through her clothes.

I didn't know what dress they would pick and send me. But, the moment I opened the package, I knew exactly which occasion I'd like to reserve this dress for: visiting and shooting in Central Park in New York City. A beautiful dress like this needs to be at an iconic location, in a concrete jungle where dreams are made of. 

It was so hard to keep a secret for 2 months, but I thought it is really worth the wait. Isn't it?

Thank you so much Michelle Worth for dressing me!

From a chic and stylish woman in the morning to an edgy and fierce girl in the afternoon, my outfit game change on New York Fashion Week day 5 was pretty drastic. And I had fun doing it. I mean, how often can we wear 2 to 3 outfits during a day and walk fashionably on the street, with the beautiful brown-bricked buildings as a backdrop. Not many. In fact, it was my dream for 20 years. I had to take advantage of these chances as much as I could, especially when I had my partner-in-crime Hallie from Halliedaily and a photographer with me.

This was a second shoot Hallie and I did together. The first one was so spontaneous. The second time was the same. We also didn't really discuss in advance what we wanted to wear. We would pick whatever outfit each of us has packed for fashion week and is unworn. I didn't pack the black fringe skirt and the bralette with me. I bought them from either H&M or Forever21 store in Timesquare (I can't remember). I didn't expect such contrasting textures can blend in so well together. Delicate lace with soft suede and edgy leather for an intense yet sensual appearance.

Hallie, on the other hand, is a Queen of classic, feminine and polished style. She paired a cute Delpozo neon bow sandals with a lustrous A-line midi skirt and white knitted top. It couldn't be chicer than that.

You have no idea how many people were looking at us curiously on the street while we were doing our shoot. But it didn't bother us much because you know, girls just want to have fun.

My day 5 of #NYFW started with the Concept Korea's fashion show, followed by a couple of photo shoots around Times Square. I changed 3 outfits during the day, ran back and forth between Skylight Moynihan Station (the show's venue), my hotel, and Times Square. It was tiring, but it was so fun, especially when I had a chance to do a photoshoot with my blogger friends. That's what fashion week is all about. Like many people, I was trying to squeeze as many things in as I could during that time, so much, that my jetlag didn't have a chance to kick in. 

The night before, I fell asleep at 4 am, woke up at 8 am, and I felt great. No coffee needed. I think I mentioned it before in this blog post. But, the truth is, I'm still amazed at how much energy New York city gave me. It definitely was (and will be) the most energetic city that I've traveled to. 

After having breakfast in the hotel, I was off to the first show of the day. I was wearing this floral pantsuit which I bought a few months ago from ASOS. I love how the soft material of the suit flows nicely on my body, creating such an easy chic vibe. The kimono jacket added a glam factor to my whole look especially when the wind blew. It was the most photo-worthy moment for street style photographers.  

I was watching the show while catching up with my blogger babe- Shallwesasa from the front row. She is such a sweetheart. 

Some beautiful designs from Concept Korea that caught my attention. 

Ending the first morning with an interview by the local media.  The first half of the day went by just like that, I'll update you again on the second half of the day.  

Thank you so much for reading!

New York Fashion Week on day 4 came in full swing for me. I run to a few shows back to back, attended a couple of meetings, and still managed to finish few photo shoots as fast as I could. 

Now that the fashion week is already over, I'm so excited to share with you in details what I did during fashion week. It was so overwhelming and amazing. Although, fashion week is quite exhausting, I actually enjoy every bit of it. If I have to do it all over again, I would. I can't turn back time, but perhaps, looking back at these photos from day 4 of New York Fashion Week helps to bring back those sweet memories.

Thanks SocietyA for dressing me in this gorgeous color-block maxi skirt from Lie collection. I wore it to attend Lie SangBong's fashion show and felt so special to be dressed in one of his designs. It felt as if it was just yesterday!

On a side topic, please meet my dear friend Hallie from Halliedaily. She is a popular fashion blogger in LA and also a Vanity Best Dressed Winner in 2013. Her style is always so sophisticated, classic, elegant, and timeless and her wardrobe is amazing. This was one of the spontaneous photo shoots we did after the Rewardstyle party. We didn't really discuss what we were wearing for the photo shoot, but somehow our outfits complimentarily coordinated so well together. This chemistry is rare!

Greetings from New York everyone! 

It's only my fourth day in this dream city, but I already have so many great stories that I want to share with you. The crazy amount of activities that I do every day, during fashion week, makes me feel like I've been here for two weeks already. Show after show, party after party, and photoshoot after photoshoot. I have only 4 to 5 hours sleep every night. I think I lost 1kg within these 4 days. Apart from my dying feet that are being tortured in heels every day, I feel fantastic. Perhaps, the excitement, energy, opportunity, and satisfaction that New York brings, makes all the senses in my body run at their maximum capacity, without me realising it. When your dream becomes true, you won't want to go back to sleep. That's what my body is going through right now. 

New York Fashion Week is nothing without the killer outfits. I brought a little tropical paradise from Singapore to the Spring/ Summer fashion week in New York. You have seen it on my Instagram, but here are more up close photos of my decal long sleeve top and skorts from Tibaeg's Spring/ Summer 2015 collection. They are so comfortable and stylish. They make me look chic without trying too hard and those statement prints are to die for. 

Thank you so much SocietyA for partnering on this blog post!
