Love Bonito
Rory Printed Midi Dress
Size XS
💜 Material
I'm going to try and describe this. Dress is made of a polyester spandex blend, so there's definitely stretch. I like it, it's not warm, & it's comfortable against bare skin. Stretch-wise I think it's a 8/10. Oh! & the shoulder straps are made of elastic, like, round hair-tie sorta. The dress flowed very prettily in this fabric! 👍🏻 I look so shu nu (/demure) 😂🙄
Concealed back zip, no pockets. Would love some pockets though cos I think its spacious enough. 🤔
💜 Size & Fit
Both XS & S fit. I'm really confused haha.
XS, my usual size, is snug around the PTP for me. However, around the waist it synched in perfect. Gave me an hourglass figure, flattering.

Size S
S, as expected is loose around the waist, so I look quite "nua", or sloppy. My figure is less defined however, PTP super comfortable. But, that also means my boobs seemed to have downed one size (compared to the XS where it looks fuller) cos there's excess fabric.
I went against my instinct and chose the S this time around. I think there are two possibilities with this piece. Fitted, for a pulled together look for day weddings / events. Or, loose and comfortable for that soft demure casual picnic vibe. I chose the latter cos I'm gonna wear this for CNY and girl here needs to have room for a food baby. 😁✌🏻
I'll be letting go of the XS. Please do let me know if you're keen. Otherwise I should be mailing it back before my return-by date expires. Thank you! 😊
Pamaina Peg Trousers
Black, Size XS
💜 Material
Found my 2017 work pants yay! 🎉 It's of a soft crepe fabric (polyester), not structured, and not too thick for the weather ☀️ This style will go with any top, & match many flats, especially the Oxford shoes for preppy chic vibe. I like the thick waist sash cos that just helps define the figure better and pull together the whole pants look so I don't drown in all that fabric.

White, Size XS
💜 Size & Fit
Pants fit perfect around the waist & hip in my usual size. I'm glad around the bum area there isn't too much cloth 👍🏻👍🏻 cos otherwise I'll look like I'm wearing a paper bag. If anything, I think lengthwise it's on the shorter side for me, I'm 1.67.. 1.66.. and shrinking 🙄
Sash is not detachable! But I like it this way cos I don't have to worry about it coming off during the day.
Letting Go!

Stamping Ground Coffee ☕️
Saturday coffee dates are one of the things I do look forward to in my week.
Helps me slow down a little.
So after lunch we strolled down (in the drizzling rain) to Stamping Ground Coffee.
First time there, I loved the ambience.
There is a second level yoga studio, floral arrangement class in one corner (which made the entire cafe smelled of fresh & dried flowers), it was pouring outside and cosy on the inside. Delightful indeed. 🌧☔️

After our weekly Saturday activity, & my rare hair up moments. 👱🏻♀️
I think I've fallen in love with dried flowers.
So pretty the color palette! It inspires a gentler time of beauty and elegance. It's understated, & effortless. Soft, yet constructed with many different textures. 💞
It's simple. No fuss. Timeless.
Cold Brew with Almond Milk.
Crazy over coffee.
(Btw, had 2 cups today and was so high from caffeine 😂)
