Hey everyone!

With March coming to an end, what better (and safer) way to start April than with an April Fool's gift of candies & chocolate from Sophisca!

What is Sophisca?

Hailing from Taiwan, Sophisca is a specialty candy brand that produces quirky and cheeky confectionery. For this upcoming April's Fool, Sophisca launched a collection of “tricking treats” like Brown rice “Sushi Bento”, “crayons” and Chocolate "Colouring Pens"  to make perfect presents to punk friends and family with this April.

Let's have  a look at these "Tricking Treats"!

Brown Rice “Sushi Bento” (玄米壽司便當), $11.90

A party tray consisting 25 chocolate brown rice crispy treats disguised as sushi! These are made with 100% natural brown rice, coated with Belgium-imported white chocolate, that are wrapped individually to ensure freshness and hygiene.

Besides the tray of "Nigiri sushi", I also found a candy tray of a similar concept in Sophisca. I personally like the look of this better, because the candies are shaped and coloured to look like sushi rather than just a use of packaging like the brown rice snacks.

Crayon Candy Sticks (小羊粉蠟筆糖 ), $9.90

These melt-in-your-mouth candies, disguised as "colouring crayons", come in 12 flavours (honey peach, tropical fruit, mandarin orange, pomelo, lemon, green apple, mint, blueberry, grape, strawberry, chocolate and yoghurt) which are reflected in suggestive colours too. Unfortunately, these are not to be used for actual drawing/ colouring.

Choco Colouring Pens (巧克力彩繪筆), $17.90

Out of all the confectioneries in Sophisca, these DIY ‘soft pens’ appealed to me the most! These "colouring pen" comes in six chocolate-flavoured colours that you can use to on your own bakes and sweet treats! Suitable for decorating chocolates, cakes, breads, toasts, biscuits and more! To use, simply warm the chocolate up by placing the tube in a bowl of warm water before drawing!

Besides these 3 featured products, here are some that I found really interesting!

These candies come in either a milk carton or bottle ceramic that will look pretty for storing the candies, flowers or even makeup brushes after!

And out of all the candies I tried, these fruit gummy tasted the best to me. It has the right amount of sweetness and flavour, and these come in a cute fruit box packaging.

Happy Shopping for April Fool's Day!

Street art is a common sight in Wellington if you open your eyes to spot them, some are quite clever with a hidden message, others look really cute or funky.

Hidden in this quiet lane, just off a path to the side of a public carpark, lies walls and walls of Graffiti and it was here that I did my very first #OOTD series in Wellington, New Zealand.

Jersey Halter Knit Top - Wardrobemess

HEATTECH Crew Neck Long Sleeve T-Shirt - Uniqlo

Ceci Pleated Front Trousers - Zalora
HEATTECH Leggings - Uniqlo

Fall Over Border Coat - Zalora
Red Possum Wool Scarf - Hand-knitted by BF's Mum
Black Sling Bag - Bought by my mum from Hong Kong

Wendy Oxford shoes - Schulicious

Now, what most of you may not be able to tell was that I was pretty high up for these few shots of me with the yellow street art behind me and all that I have to stand on what this metal structure. Why did I climb so high up? I guess I was influenced by the rebellious vibes of the place and I wanted to show off my oxford shoes from Schulicious! It's been awhile since I last owned an oxford, and this one is just classic~

On a whole, on my first day back in Wellington, it's still as windy and cold as I remembered it to be but it was made warmer with my dearest who brought me around and showed me the quirky side of this "supposedly" quiet and dull town.

Like the famous Bucket Fountain that was created in such a way that the buckets regularly tip the water out onto the pavement, rather than into the buckets below and the pipes that fill the top buckets were deliberately made short so that on windy days a lot of water gets blown away before reaching the buckets.

Just to clarify, I did not get wet but I was very skeptical when Jonny asked me to stand nearer...

Oh! And I want to rave about the coat of this OOTD, because I got it at a good bargain with the use of a discount code for Zalora purchase! It was really hesitant to get a coat from Zalora because most of the apparels are catered to Singapore's climate and I was quite doubtful of this coat's ability to keep me warm. But the description stated that it would and it came with a hoodie, so I took the gamble. 

In short,

best shopping gamble ever!

Hey hey!

I've been learning how to use Google Analytics to understand more about you (my readers), and it seems that most of you are ladies of the working demographic~ 

So I decided to take a break from talking about beauty to talk about fashion and since I've traded my outdoor job to an indoor office job, I thought that it will be interesting to share with you some of my OOTD concepts for the corporate world.

To make things easy for you, if you like any of these pieces, I've selected all of them from Zalora.sg and to add in a perk for you~ Head to Zalora discount codes for a list of promotions that are ongoing!

And to start things off, let's start with the classic~ Monochrome.

Monochrome OOTD

Net Panel Pencil Skirt - Something Borrowed

Flowy Shirt - Mango

Basic High Heel Sandals With Ankle Strap - Zalora Basics

Pointed Heels With Ankle Strap - Something Borrowed

Pointed Ballerinas With Ankle Straps - Zalora

Double Zippered Classic Tote - Zalora

The concept of wearing Monochrome is basically to stick to the classic colours of black, white and even grey. To keep things look professional, I decided to pair an unconventional skirt (for office) with a simple flowy button-up white blouse, and a black handbag.

For shoes, I decided to offer a range of height for your own selection. As usual, the heels would be the normal selection for the corporate world but let's face it... it's tiring for the calves and painful for the feet, so choose something that you can be comfortable in.

Floral OOTD

Butchart Gardens Flare Skirt - Ziztar

Neppy Sleeveless Top - River Island

Saffiano Small Trapeze Tote - Zalora

Mix Material High Heel Sandals - Zalora

Basic Thick Heel Pumps - Sidewalk

Fern Point Flats - RUBI

I love everything floral, hence the reason why I'm happy with my job at the moment.

Here's my selection of items to ace the floral game, the key here is to form the look around one statement piece. In this case, it's the skirt, and work with the other pieces to put an outfit together!

One-Colour-Scheme OOTD

Contrast Collar Bodycon Dress - Girlondon

Pattern Blazer - Bread N Butter

Helena Mini Tote Bag - Nine West

Weaved Peep Toe Platform Heels - Sidewalk

DOREY D'orsay Pumps - Nine West

Dancer Ballerinas - RUBI

Lastly, this OOTD is all about combing items of the similar colour/shade to create the look. To avoid looking one dimensional, I added in items with different texture and pattern, and varied the shades of the selected colour.

And there you have it~

These are the concepts that I roughly base my outfits for work each day with the use of the Deja Fashion App.
