Customising Apple Watch: One Watch, Many Faces
If you, like me, are the lucky owner of the Apple Watch, you know that it’s an amazing piece of technology that is capable of doing many things. However, did you know that you can turn it into a fashion statement?! I got my Apple Watch Sport as a Christmas gift from my lovely hubby. It’s a 38mm model that came with silver aluminium case and white sport band. When I got the watch, the choices of standard bands the sport model came with were quite limited. However, Apple is constantly updating and expanding its range of colors, styles and materials suitable for any taste and budget. Given my personality, I love…

Dress for Less: Sporty Chic with Jeweled Sandals
The S/S 2015 runway shows were dominated by jeweled sandals in minimalistic/sporty style under a wider athleisure trend. But clean lines and athletic aesthetics doesn’t mean boring. Designers have revamped traditional athletic sneakers and hiking or Birkenstock-style sandals by adding bright colours, such as silver and yellow, techno fabrics, chunky soles and jewels. Mixing two completely different styles and adding a hint of sparkle gives comfortable sandals a luxurious feel. I too have embraced this trend and wanted to share my high-street picks and styling ideas.

Today I am introducing a new category – Dress for Less – in my Stylish section. Unlike some of the other fashion bloggeres who dress in designer clothes from head to toe, I want to show that you can dress well and be stylish at the high street prices. In my effort to wear every piece of clothing in my closet (and donate or sell what I no longer need!), I have picked tartan shorts from River Island I bought last year. First, I love checkered tartan pattern and second – red is my favourite colour. For today’s look I paired tartan shorts with a black knitted top, black tights and…
