Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!

Sunday, August 27, 2017 Simone - Your Style Architect 3 Comments

Oh please do not tell me that Summer is almost over? Well at least not here in Singapore, but I am surely missing the four seasons this year. So before you guys up in the North start piling on the outerwear, here's one for the road for Summer from good ole Sunny Singapore.


I recently did a post on print bikini featuring some fashion forward and stylish swimwear from Rosegal. Naturally, I had to get my hands on at least one of these. If you have not read the previous wishlist post, check it out here.










I particularly love this piece as the halter layered top was such a cute accent to bring a regular one piece bikini up a notch and transform it to essentially a trending clothing item one could throw a skirt or shorts over and head out the door. Imagine especially if you are going for a poolside party or a beach party, it would be so lovely to keep the swimwear in full view and yet look fashion forward at the same time. Believe you me in my younger days, I wore my swimwear under my business suit as a top and went to work one day in this attire. Don't blame me... it was sweltering hot that day!!

The sexy peep hole opening at the back of this swimsuit makes this an even more interesting piece and I love the natural toned and unique pattern of this swimwear. I paired it this time with a silk batik print scarf to bring out the natural tone, mood and vibe of this swimwear.

Hope you enjoyed the look and stay tuned for more Summer posts coming your way!

Love,
Simone xoxo

Happy Birthday To Me - 2017 !

Saturday, August 19, 2017 Simone - Your Style Architect 3 Comments

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

It had been a really tough week this week with things going on with my parents and I was not exactly feeling in the best of moods. The anxiety of turning a year older, getting my son settled back to school, and seeing to ailing parents is just all very overwhelming to hit me at the same time.

So, a year older today... it is certainly hitting home for me and let's be honest - at my age I am starting to feel the changes. I mean... I am now having to rely more and more on reading glasses !!! Now tell me what does that say????

Anyway, I hope I can keep all of you guessing my age. Here's my birthday wish this year - that all this hatred, cruelty and just nastiness in mankind would stop. Please stop!! And that only love can flow through the world. Yes it's a wish and I can hope it can happen but I am entitled to that. And of course good health to everyone because without it, we can't achieve anything.

Love to all of you for supporting me through the years and being there for me through my ups and downs... listening to me blog about my woes and sharing my happy thoughts and outfits....

Till my next birthday.


Love,
Simone xoxo

Rosegal Cute Dresses For Summer 2017 ( Featured)

Monday, August 14, 2017 Simone - Your Style Architect 3 Comments

Happy Monday !

Summer is a time when we can trend so many styles of dresses. From mini to maxi. From sleeveless to full lantern sleeves. With the hot ( and humid weather !) in Singapore I tend to gravitate more towards shorter dresses than maxi dresses. Simply because it's cooler, and easier to run around in.

So check out these cute dresses I found on Rosegal.com which can take you right through Summer 2017.

Ethnic Circle Tassel Braid Hook Earrings // Cap Butterfly Sleeve A-Line Dress // Chains Flat Heel Tassels Sandals // Beach Embroidery Straw Clutch Bag

I love how this cap sleeve dress can be styled casua. However with more elegant accessories, it can also be worn as a dinner date outfit with statement jewelry.

Strappy Gingham Check Ruffle Sleeveless Tea Length Skater Dress // Ombre Anti-UV Sunglasses - Pearl Kumquat// Monstera Leaf and Flamingo PU Leather Handbag // Bowknots Plaid Pattern Ankle Strap Sandals

Gingham prints is all the rage and so this look I put together was geared towards a feminine look with the fit and flare dress and an accent of color to bring out the summer feel.

Alloy Engraved Hoop Earrings // Ribbon Bowknot Broad Brimmed Beach Straw Hat // Sequined Pineapple and Tassel Straw Bag // Flat Heeled Beaded Leaf Sandals // Scoop Collar See Through Sleeveless Crochet Tunic

White is my favourite summer colour for 2017 and straw bags is another must-have in your wardrobe. If you have not noticed from previous posts, I am so into Pineapple prints from jewelry to my clothing items. So this was the perfect beach go-to look for me.

Love these looks? Then hurry and grab the items from the fashion style boards highlighted in this post NOW on Rosegal.com.

Retro 70s :: Off Shoulder Retro Floral Print Top + Fuschia Sandals

Saturday, August 12, 2017 Simone - Your Style Architect 2 Comments

It's the weekend again and I love how lantern sleeves are such a rage for Summer.

Check out this retro floral printed top from H&M which kept calling out to me as I walked through the store. I love the 70s feel of this top and it worked perfectly pairing it with my hot pink sandals and Celine bag.











Hope you enjoyed this look and have a great weekend ahead !

Off Shoulder Chambray

Sunday, August 06, 2017 Simone - Your Style Architect 10 Comments

Hope you are enjoying your weekend. This weekend, check out summer's hottest trend - Chambray + Off Shoulder top. I am both loving denim / chambray clothing items and somehow blue and white seems to be the go-to colour I tend to buy this summer. If you recall over last few summers, it was olive, then white and now this year - blue!

 I am so loving this style and loosely tied knots at the sleeves add a cute detail to the outfit.










A simple outfit to take you through the weekend. You can most certainly play with loads of accessories with this outfit. I styled this with a mexican woven belt which doubled up as my headscarf and cool white denim knotted mules from ASOS.

Also to add a little depth to the outfit , I tied a knot at the waist to create some character to an otherwise simple off shoulder top and to bring out the knot accents on the sleeves. You can also leave it untied and hung loose over a pair of pants. If you get bored of this plain top, you can always accessories with brooches, long necklaces or to be bold, get one of those iron - on embroidered patches to create a different feel to an otherwise well loved top.

Have a great weekend then!


Love,
Simone xoxo
