FUFFA NANO 2.0 IN VANILLA BEAN

Log | Coffee Date

It's been months since my last coffee date and after rescheduling several times over, we've finally made it and I went with soft pastels and muted colours for my outfit as we're going to a local cafe today. As per usual, we didn't take any photos as none of us remembered to but not to worry, I'll share that on my other blog later as I'm planning to go by myself sometime next week. 

I had to go pick up my beauty essentials from Sulwhasoo after lunch but I felt like I need another cup of coffee hence the quick stop at ZUS Coffee for my favourite Spanish Latte with Coconut Milk and less sugar.

On that note, I've been sitting on the idea of actually going back to local beauty community as it's been about 3 years since I last posted on my Instagram but life really gets in the way and I've only been focusing on doing my routines as part of my daily self-care offline. The little time I've had left after long hours at the office or running errands around the city is usually dedicated to sorting through my laundry and stocking up my fridge with different kind of soy-based beverages I could find at local 24-hour supermarket. 

But now that the audits for the company has finally comes to end, I decided to tackle the number one task I want to do for my apartment as part of the process of sorting my current living situation which is doing a makeover for an empty small room; my younger brother is no longer staying with me so I'm turning the room into a walk-in closet. At this point, I've already gotten a couple of IKEA shelves and racks for my outerwear; I'm obsessed with jackets, trench coats and blazers these days and those were taking majority amount of space in my wardrobes hence they're getting their own racks.

But the one shelf I really want to sort properly is the one for my bags - these are just my hand bags and I still have several backpacks that I also need to find space to place them accordingly so I'll do an update on that once I'm done with the repainting the room and maybe the window frames as well. Indeed lots of work need to be done for the room but I'm just taking things slowly as I still have mountains of things to settle at work and with my birthday is coming up next weekend, I really just want to go for a quick getaway with my family or just going to enjoy a quiet time at my parents house. 

How's your July so far?

Log | Formal with Pastels

Off to a meeting with our subcontractor to finalise some documents so I had to wear formal but I had coffee date with my girlfriends in the evening so I tried to tone down the look with pastel blouse, scarf and that muted beige pants.

Log | Long Day at Work

I'm becoming more and more attached to cotton clothes these days because it can be so hot from mid morning till early evening and then it'll be pouring heavily right around when I usually get off work. Instead of going with my usual slightly stretchy polyester pants from Poplook, I'm switching to the ones from their COTTON line instead hence that Fidella Straight Cut Pants in black. Not going to lie, I'm so tempted to get another in beige colour to include in my capsule wardrobe so here's hoping for restock.

I've been carrying that TUMI bag everywhere too these days and it's made of nylon so perfect for this kind of weather although I kind of in need of a bigger briefcase so I'm considering to just get a tote that can fit my documents and laptop, all in one place.

I feel like coming back to my old routine where I'd be hanging out at cafe after work but at the same time I do want to be more active so here's hoping I can get through audit safely by the end of this month and start my gym membership right after.

 

Log | Work Outfit on Rainy Day

Got up around 4 o'clock this morning because I had a real early meetings with clients before their flight at KKIA and then I went to get coffee from ZUS Coffee at Aeropod before coming into the office. My heels are still healing after the horrible blisters that I've gotten thanks to the Charles & Keith loafers that I wore to an event last time so I still had to wear those Skechers sandals literally everywhere but it's been raining every couple of days anyway, so.

Log | Work Outfit

Now that the trend-wise Spring fashion is here, I'm switching to lighter yet still muted tones for my tops but sticking with blacks for the rest of my outfit to keep things formal for my daily work outfits.

I got that flared top from Poplook SOGO KL during my recent trip to the big city and I'm already loving the shorter front hem. The slightly puffy shoulder joints are giving feminine looks but I'm a bigger fan of the embroidered sleeves and hems of the blouse. As I've only been spending my hours in air-conditioned office today, this top feels comfortable but I don't think I'd be opting for this during hot sunny days.

I've always loved palazzo throughout my 20s but now that I'm in my 30s, I've been wearing a lot more of stretchy straight-cut pants that go with different kind of tops like blouses, regular shirts even graphic t-shirts so I actually own these pants in different materials to match with the tops. Belt loops are non-optional for me.

For hijabs, I've always been loyal to TudungPeople so Hawa in Espresso is an absolute staple in my work wardrobe.

That kitten-heeled pumps from Charles & Keith have been my top footwear for daily office hours these days and they're quite comfortable to walk in.

I'm still wearing that Classic Cornwall watch from Daniel Wellington that I got from their Hong Kong-based webstore more than 5 years ago but I do think it's time to replace the band so I'm going to visit their Suria Sabah branch the soonest.

When it comes to work bags, I've been using that Halsey backpack from TUMI's Voyageur collection and I'm already obsessed with the gunmetal accessories. Loved the fact that I can carry my laptop, water bottle and notebooks along with my other essentials in separate compartments.

 

I'm just going to keep my work outfits minimal like this as I've been trying to focus on my latest hobby which is outdoor activities; nothing extreme as I've only been walking around the park next to my office buildings but I've also been investing in camping gears recently so I'd be sure to give you guys update right on my other blog soon so do stay tuned.

Fashion Haul | Work Blazer

The search for a beige blazer is now ever as I've finally found the one that I really like and it's Rachel Ruched-ready Blazer from Love, Bonito.

I wanted to get one size bigger thru online but I was afraid the shoulder's width is a tad bigger than that so I don't mind getting this slightly fit instead. Especially love the beige tone on this as it suits my skin tone.

Log | Family Outing

We're just going to chill and do some grocery shopping so it's going to be indoor but a lot of walking as we really need to burn some sugar off my niece after 2 packs of marshmallows. 

I've started getting hijab prints from TudungPeople sometime around last year but I don't think the materials are working for me as I'm used to their satin silk and cotton crepe but I guess I'm just going to wear them a lot more before deciding whether to keep or give them away to my sisters who are fans of their prints. I'm opting for light to medium colours like the above to match with the rest of my clothes these days.

I also been carrying that UNIQLO bag a lot too as it's big enough to carry all my essentials in one-go but I only have one problem with it which is it keeps on sliding off my shoulder whenever I wear it on one side therefore need to be worn across my body instead and I don't prefer to wear my bag like that as it messes with my hijab. 

Anyway, I just realised it's suddenly the end of March and I still haven't started on my New Year resolutions yet. Wish me good luck!

Been dying to go out for a movie night and I finally did! Although I was dead tired from running around all day today and still having difficulty to recall the scenes from Suzume no Tojimari. Guessing that's a sign for a rewatch.

Log | Hanging Out with My Bestie

 

As people would say, you're only best friends with that person when there's less pictures of the two of you in your photo gallery.

My friend and I were on our way to having lunch together when we've passed these standees of Jujutsu Kaisen movie character so of course, we'd have to take selfies there.
