wowza!

Wooo…sorry guys for the long absence from Fashion Geek. I have been caught up with non-fashion issues in life, hehe. I am pleased though to revamp Fashion Geek into Stylephile! Yays *clapclap*
I have always felt that FG was too corny a name and it may be partly blamed by the fact that Dorin and I came up with it on the spot, lol! But thanks to my dearest friend Dorin, she kindly changed it for me with the launch of her new, fresh blog theme!

With the new name I hope to be more personal, informative and fun with my fashion posts. And I gladly welcome feedback and comments

Dorin suggested that I post something on the upcoming autumn looks. I am not one to follow seasonal trends religiously but having said that, I do have some ideas on the autumn looks that I am planning to pull off.

Coloured tights will be a biggie on my autumn wishlist. I find that kiwis for one are a little less bold when it comes to wearing tights and black is often the default colour. I am hoping to add aubergine and navy blue to my collection of cream, plum and mustard coloured tights this fall/winter

I am also particularly pleased with my No.1 Shoe Warehouse purchase of this beauty: Oxford heels! I am excited to pair these lovely booties with tights of all glorious colours!!

Booties: $20 from No. 1 Shoe Warehouse. Plum coloured tights: gift from relative (tip: Farmers has a good range of coloured tights for only $10 each!)

Mustard yellow has been often been an overlooked colour and I think it deserves a lot more credit. I first fell in love with mustard when I saw a grandpa cardigan (think chunky, oversized, drapey) on a fashion blogger. So here’s my take on wearing mustard this season:

Dress: thrifted & hemmed ($1 from a flea market). T-neck blouse: Jeanswest. Mustard tights: Farmers ($10). T-bar heels: Ebay. Mustard woolly cardigan: Mango
