Outfit Of The Day

Hi guys! Excited to show you my OOTD of today! Mainly because there are new key items I'd like to share with you! Hope you enjoy today's OOTD!

Today I was feeling a bit retro (although Z thought I looked more like a "ghetto chick" - don't listen to him). To achieve my look I went for sky blue shades and subtle pinks.

I'm wearing my ASOS tank and an ASOS light blue buttoned up as my outerwear.

As for jeans, I'm wearing Runway Bandits. This is the first time ordering from them and I fell absolutely in love with them! The pants I'm wearing now is the 'light washed contrast stitching high waisted blue jeans'. I got them in size S which fits UK sizes 6-8. They fit perfect around my legs but I found them a bit loose at my tummy area. No problemo though! A belt should do the trick! The jeans are comfy and I even wore them for a 3 hour flight on an airplane. So far so good. They fit nicely and also the colour makes the jeans very versatile. I can pair them up with a lot of different outfits.











As for shoes. I finally received my K-Style me belted unique walker! They're fabulous! The only downside was that I didn't read the website carefully. I got a US size 7.5 and apparently I have wide feet and should have gotten a size larger (it is actually mentioned in the site, "if you have wide feet, please select one size bigger"). The length of the shoe ends exactly at my toes, that there isn't much space for my toes to breathe or stretch. The height they give me is marvellous and if it wasn't for the size problem it would have been very very comfortable! I could really walk in them for hours! They have great grip too and I don't find myself slipping.











As for accessories, I wore my bullet necklace by The Bohemian Collective. I added a quartz crystal which is also from The Bohemian Collective onto my original bullet necklace and also attached a friendship ring I got from my bestie, Syifa.

I wore my new Milky Way ring by Enya Bijoux, one of my favorite Bruneian designers. The ring adds a little spunk to my look. You can find her on Instagram with the username @enyabijoux.

And for the final touch of accessory, I wore this lovely hair band by the Malaysian designer Syafira Radzif. I got this as a gift from my special friend, Amira , who I met recently during my trip to Malaysia (do check out Amira's IG @unsst / @kellyboons she's really wonderful).


You can also find Syafira Radzif's Rocket Lust designs on Instagram with the username @rocketlust.

The floral pattern of the hair band goes very well with my whole outfit. The pink and red roses give my washed out blue and white look just the right amount of pop of colour. I wore a mix of Saint Germain and Russian Red by MAC on my lips and also added on a touch of Veronica Blush also by MAC (thank you Anis for the blush!). As for eyeshadow I used my Revlon colorstay eyeshadow kit on my crease and used a dark brown eyeshadow color by MAC to line my upper eyelid to add a sublte definition to my eyes. As for eyebrows I wore my trusted Suqqu liquid brow pen. This would be my no.1 for eyebrows because they really give a natural finish.

I hope you liked today's OOTD and that you find some things in this post that were inspiring or helpful. Thank you for reading and I'll be posting up my Part 2 of my Malaysia Trip next. Stay tuned!

With Love,

Ainul.

Sunday Welcome Back Princes + OOTD

Hi guys! I'm back in Brutown! I arrived on Saturday the 27th, just right before Maghrib, Alhamdulillah. I'm staying in my parents' house in the country side of Brunei Kg. Masin. The next day, my amazing friends, Mu'izz Khalid & Mahyuddin Othman decided to welcome me back to Brunei by inviting me to break my fast with Sushi and a movie. I had a fantastic day, and a wonderful catch up with Mah as well as Mui'zz in the end. They both arrived at my door step looking very handsome and here are some photos to show you their Outfit of The Day.

Here we have Mah looking very dashing in a striped buttoned up paired up with pants in pastel and suede shoes. Click here to see his blog and find out what he's wearing.





























Over here we have Mr. Mu'izz Khalid also looking very handsome in pastel! Click here to see his blog and find out what he's wearing.























As for me, I'm wearing a printed tee from ASOS, white skinnies from Top Shop and shoes from American Apparel. My top accessories for the day was a burgundy red hat from Camden and a leather bag also a find from Camden town! I don't think you can spot it, but I also had my bullet necklace on. I found that a hat was fantastic for sunny weather; keeps the sun from my face and also for rainy days; keeps the rain from ruining my make up!  I loved to pair high waisties with crop tops they are a match made in heaven! The only problem I had with my pants was that white isn't a flattering colour on me, the white sort of erased my tummy making my legs seem like they're attached right to my ribs and my skinnies were high waisted and I'm not that tall for a girl (at least I think I'm not), I found that they made me look a bit shorter or made it obvious I'm short. Here's a full head to toe for you!

As for make up; the I've been trying out Bourjois 'Paris Healthy Mix Serum' number 55 for foundation, I'm in love with this foundation, it's perfect for my dry skin and is super easy to apply on and covers my scars and spots very well! I  used something new, the No7 'Beautifully Matte' as a make up base. So far, so good. Although I found that my face had to be really moisturised for the make up base to be applied properly and spread smoothly. Lastly I've been using this a lot recently, the Revlon's Colorstay eyeshadow kit in '20 Sunrise, Sunset'. The 4th color palette is just the perfect color for my skin. I used it for creasing and completed my minimal make up look.

I hope you find this post inspiring for you next OOTD!

I felt very happy to have friends who care so much. I bet you guys have those too! Tell them you love them and how much you appreciate them because good friends are hard to find.

And if any of you are wondering, our summer tunes is of course the lovely Taylor Swift's album Red.

Have a good night everybody!

With love,

Ainul.

  I shall end this post with this beautiful quote:

"God is in the water of the lake; he is also in the cracked bed of the lake, when the lake has dried up. God is in the abundant harvest; he is also in the famine that occurs when the harvest fails. God is in the lightning; he is also in the darkness, when the lightning has faded... Brothers and sisters, you pile up stones to make shrines, imagining that God will make himself present there. Then you are surprised when these shrines do not ease your cares and worries." From "366 Readings From Islam," translated by Robert Van der Weyer.
