life is for living

yes, life is for living! take a moment to enjoy and savor life for what it is instead of stressing over what you cannot control! you cannot control the drama or challenges that life throws at you; you cannot control what other people do, say and think about you; you can't always control what happens, but you can control how you react to situations.
it is all in the mind. choose to see the positives in everyday; choose to see the beauty in people and choose HAPPINESS.
HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE.
choose to let go of stress, sadness, anger.. whatever is poisoning your life.. and live life!


wishing everyone a great, happy day ahead.
i love all of you

summer fashion inspirations

these are some of my favorite summer looks! i love outfits which are casual, breezy, comfortable and colorful. my style is mostly girly with an edge.




this dress is from urban outfitters. i love the side cutouts, which are subtly sexy and fun. the bright tangerine color screams summer! 

this outfit is from daily look. the nautical vibe of the high waisted striped shorts and simple white tee gives a cool and relaxed feel. i have a similar statement necklace from the house of harlow and it is such a classic piece. it instantly dresses up the white tee and lends a touch of edge and class. i would complete the outfit with a classic chanel and black or red wedges.

this outfit is also from daily look. this is so me! arm candy, pink boots and a floral vest over a white bodycon.

another one from daily look. i am loving the ruffled peach top over white denim cutoff shorts. i am so obsessed with peach this season-its so pastel, feminine and girly. Also, it is GENIUS to complete this outfit with gold accessories.

i want this scoop-back top from free people! it is simple, classic and sexy.

Do a little happy today

One of the most important things i have learnt recently is that no matter what, you have got to love yourself. It sounds so cliche, but its true. No one can love you if you don't love and respect yourself.
Sometimes, in the busy-ness and craziness of life, we lose ourselves, our identity and our authenticity. We let the stresses and drama of life sap us of our essence. Isn't that such a waste? Life is beautiful and meant to be celebrated. So, do a little something to make yourself happy and loved today.
Pamper your body, nourish your soul and relax your mind. Smile and tell yourself-yes you are beautiful and amazing and you deserve all the happiness that life has to offer. =)

what are some of your favorite happy things? 
Here are some of mine...
1. A GIANT ginormous salad- colourful and brimming with antioxidants. So good for my skin, body and health


2.I'm not going to lie- anything hello kitty brings a big, goofy smile to my face. Hey it's alright to embrace your inner child! =)
ps: i simply LOVE the tokidoki for hello kitty line


3. ARM CANDY!!
It's summer and arm candy is ALL the rage now. i love stacking bracelets and bangles on my wrist; i love the colorful pops of neon and nothing screams summer more than neon!


4. Running! i have been pretty obsessed recently. i want to try and improve my timing. it is a goal i will work towards. i also have been contemplating taking part in a half-marathon. a part of me says ' i can't ' but who's to tell me 'i can't'? i CAN and I WILL. i just got to set my heart and mind on it.
 5. Camwhoring!
Honestly, dressing up prettily and taking a good picture makes me happy, shallow as it sounds!
But, hey, whatever rocks my boat right?

so, what are your favorite happy things to do?
let me know!
have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
lots of love,
