Ninja Warrior Cheongsam

Dear Mummies,

Yes, I named it "Ninja Warrior Cheongsam". It's the feminine ninja sort of version. It exudes power, loves and confidence of a lady. Especially a mummy who requires great amount of stamina to continue every single day! I personally require a nice outfit to brighten up my day! This dress is like my warrior suit, I can charge around freely amid my hectic daily schedules. Every mummy is like a modern female warrior who equipped herself to protect her empire A.K.A kids.


Back to my cheongsam craze again, I love it even more! Cheongsam is no longer outdated, in fact, it's fashionable and trendy! If you realised, its amazing how the designs of cheongsam evolves to what it is now. 

Anyhow, I recently purchased a few lovely pieces and absolutely with no regrets. It just falls nicely on me. The material is so soft and comfy. These awesome dresses are from Lark and Peony. They are always working their best. Doing their best to launch the perfect pieces without fail. The owner/designer, Junie, of Lark and Peony is a pretty and chic babe who is very friendly as well. Do feel free to enquire if you have queries.

What so special about this NINJA CHEONGSAM? 

I am crazy with those lovely prints that are nicely matched to the dresses. The uniqueness of those prints on the collar and belt of each dress really a piece of art. You can fold down the collar to show off the prints or just lift the collar up and pair it with the vibrant belt for a sophisticated look. It's not overly done, true to colour, position of prints are aligned (meaning, you see what you get from purchasing online), its threading is neat and the belt is the key to accenturate a beautiful silhouette. I mean I may not be an artist by profession, however, I do have an eye for arty-farty stuff. 

Referring to the dress in following picture, they come in few colours such as black, navy, royal blue, beige and purple. I regretted not getting "The Princess in Aubergine" as I thought purple won't suit my skin tone, but I guess I am wrong. Haha. Well, its too late now. It's no longer in stock. So I should just go sob in a corner. 

In a nutshell, I almost bought all the colours of this collection except for "The Princess in Aubergine". This collection is a MUST HAVE. Go grab from what's available before you regret! Basically, all these dresses from this collection, are ideal for smart casual functions or working days. Its not too formal. Great for OL and chic mummies. Not forgetting, you can keep the tradition, why not? I am visualising this dress in Maxi sleeveless version. wooo LOL.. think too much.

Check back on my blog for other Lark & Peony pieces.

Skorts or Shorts?

Hi all,

I am so in love with skorts. Pretty floral prints. It fits well in my daily activties.
The reason I love skorts mainly because its so casually pretty and its so practical for a mummy like me! I can be in skirt and and shorts in secs! Yes.

Recently, I have been tracking down many blogshops for lovely skorts. And I have found few beautiful pieces. Its definitely a keeper! The materials for these skorts are top quality excellent! It feels comfortable and 2 of the pieces are smooth materials. No colour run.

The above 3 pieces are from MDS collections, there are other pieces but I didn't manage to grab it fast enough. I spotted them too late. Hopefully, they restock!


Few years back, Zara launched these brilliantly plain colour skorts as shown below and it was seriously selling hot! Everyone wants to own at least one of them. So crazy. And not long after, Qoo10.com.sg, started selling these skorts in different colours. Its selling like hot cakes too!




We used to have skorts two decades ago. But it was known as culottes. I didn't really like the designs. Some seem to have the impression of lingerie look alike? Especially those with laces along the hems. Just merely my personal point of view. However, for those with pear shaped figure, its not a good idea to wear culottes. It seems to widen your lower body.



The black and white floral prints skort is really a disappointment, the colour run like crazy! I soaked in vinegar for a night and it doesn't block the colour. And I have washed thrice, the colour still run! Apart from the color, its kinda loose for me. Blame myself for purchasing the bigger size.


Anyhow, if you are an active mummy, looking for practical ways to dress up, match up with any plain tops with these skorts, you definitely good to go. Its trendy and convenient.

Be a power mummy, keep up the trend with simplest ways and at affordable price!

Till I share again!
