somedays.


It's the first day of spring so I figure I'd commemorate the occasion with a dedication my two favourite wardrobe items that got me through the chilly season. Not that I had to endure as much of it this year, I cheated on winter for a sticky hot month in Beijing and I have to admit I actually enjoyed it. Throwing on a pair of shorts and a basic singlet before rushing off to class (that or gym gear, yes guilty as charged). Having visited the one COS store in Beijing four times in a month and not purchasing anything for myself, I bought the sweater on a whim so I wouldn't leave the country empty handed. Who knows when I'd be back in the vicinity of COS? It ended up being the greatest decision because I've been wearing it with everything.

As for boyfriend jeans that shouldn't be called boyfriend jeans because most men wear skinny fit nowadays and most boys hate it when their girlfriends wear looser cuts. Something about being unflattering? Never mind that, they're so comfortable especially for those days when putting on skinny jeans is just too much effort. Or when you know you're in for a big meal and anticipate stuffing yourself silly. Boys don't realise but that's exactly what they're for.

I've never been much of a beach person. Not to say I don't like beaches, but I only go once or twice a year usually on a public holiday when it's absolutely crowded and unbearably hot. While I took a Saturday off work to 'study' (and I use the term loosely), I thought I'd sneak in a quick morning road trip to the Northern Beaches to meet with Aprilia and play blogger dress ups by the sand. And although our time together was short lived, the two of us wondered what it would be like to be a full time blogger. Just prancing around in fancy get ups, taking plenty of photos and posting daily. What a life.

My panama hat made its official debut today and I have no doubt it will be glued to my head come consistent hot weather. I really do love my head wear. And so should you. It's fancy and it keeps you protected from the sun. Double whammy.

Tomorrow marks Week 13 of semester. The last week. Also known as the week from hell. One group assignment, one exam, one speaking exam and one feature article due. If you don't hear from me assume I have become a zombie. No sleep and no blogging make Melissa something something. Go crazy? Don't mind if I do!

Don't forget to enter my Popbasic giveaway x

it was all yellow.

I distinctly remember the three times I've encountered yellow in my wardrobe. The first was in primary school and as my house colour, I was required to wear it every sport day Friday. The second was when I went to a 15th birthday dress as Misty from Pokemon and the last was seeing Gwen Stefani at the beginning of her 'What You Waiting For?' music video wearing a yellow cropped shirt and black headband and wanting to copy that look for myself (funnily enough I've been listening to this song on repeat for the last few days). And this right here would mark the fourth. 

I'm rarely a colour person (and if I am it's pastel or muted so from far away it looks like a neutral) but when I was asked to pick out my favourite piece at the Somedays Lovin showing a few weeks ago, I found myself drawn to this simplistic 'vein' print. What I love about it the most is the neckline, high, just the way I like it (almost like a halter neck), showing a little more of the shoulder and shoulder blade than usual. Is there a proper term for it? Because I just bought a Zimmermann playsuit in the same style that I just can't get enough of. A message to designers: please make more tees and basics in this cut.
