Little Red Dress





If there's a little black dress, I have my own little red dress.

For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, for sure you noticed I always wear red. It's my all-time favorite color. Red is vibrant, full of life, and its reflection makes me look radiant.

It's another weekend brunch a couple of weeks ago but this day was very warm at 14degC. A bit cloudy but it's awesome, I can avoid those annoying leggings and heavy, oversized jackets, yay!

My husband & I went to the same restaurant Bocca, where we went for our wedding anniversary last month.  We wanted to try their brunch as they have different set of menu for their weekend brunch and heard good feedback about it. But this time it's for a business meeting so I dressed appropriately. Wore a knee-length red dress, and a nude blazer which looks more like my office outfit than a laid-back brunch outfit. Felt like looking so red that day so I paired it with a red coat instead of a leopard print one coz I was already thinking of accentuating my outfit with snakeskin, a skinny leopard print chained belt, faux fur scarf, & chained bag.


Promod dress | H&M nude blazer | Zara coat (worn here) | Steve Madden snakeskin boots | Gucci chained bag | Uniqlo faux fur scarf

Spring came too soon!





Torn between a nude Vince Camuto pump & a snakeskin boots
Of course the boots can keep me warm should the temperature abruptly drop





Was looking annoyed, lol!

My view during the brunch, by the window-side overlooking the Huangpu river & the Pudong side 
Quite empty on a Sunday

A very tasty split pea soup. There's a burst of flavor in this tiny bowl

Variety of appetizers from their appetizer buffet

All four of us (me & 3 Italians) at the table ordered the same dish: squid ink risotto with sun-dried tomatoes, it didn't disappoint our taste buds
The dessert is very simple & unpretentious, ladyfinger with chocolate, strawberry, and panna dip


I'm lovin this dress, it fits like a glove! Thanks to my BFF who picked it for me, thanks babe! It was a great idea to shop with you that day :)
So lucky to have lovely girlfriends who also have excellent taste in style, ain't I?

I will be away for a while my darlings but of course I will still be checking your comments when I get the chance...nows time for packing again, time to get some tan :)

Ciao a tutti!

  1. You never ceased to amaze me. Every outfit you post puts me to excitement coz I know every single photo to scroll down would always be a nice sight to see. That red dress with the snake skin boots is a bomb. Not to mention the lovely red coat. I wish we have winter season here in our country so I could wear coats and boots every minute of my life. :-)

    It's okay knowing you'll be away and definitely no post from you this week. Did you just say you'll get some tan? OMGosh! Go dear! I will be patiently waiting to see lovely places and of course, bikini posts.

  13. more like sexy red dress hun! you look AAAHH-MAZING!! :) red is definitely your colour, i love the outfit with the coat too :)

    and about your question from my post:
    yes, I'm a huge fan of NYX! :) i recommend Urban Decay Smoked Palette for party looks, you can create so many great smokey eyes with the palette and the eyeshadows last for a very long time and doesn't run down your face! Also, brands with high reputation eyeshadows are MAC, Lorac, Too Faced, Smashbox, Inglot. They last pretty much most of the day without the need to re-touch :) thanks so much hun, glad you found my reviews interesting! <3


    I hope you're having a beautiful day ~ XO
