Fashion pieces to Splurge on:
Burberry Equestrian Knight check tie-waist shirt dress, S$1,080
If the Fall/Winter ’19 runways have taught us anything, it is that tartans, plaids and checks are going to be a hot favourite of the season. So get your wardrobe ready with this Burberry wrap shirt dress and pair this with booties for extra edge while at work. Another tip: You can wear this as a coat too.
Balenciaga slash heel mules, S$1,590
A pair of flats should always be in your shoe closet because as much as we love a pair of heels, we can’t wear them the whole day without our feet protesting halfway through. Plus, a statement pair like these bedazzled Balenciaga mules will dress up any look instantly. Match it with a black jumpsuit and silver jewellery for work, or wear with a velvet dress for a night out.
Gucci vicose jersey dress, US$1,900 (S$2,576.81)
Get preppy chic with this red and blue trimmed number from Gucci. The ruffle details add a touch of femininity while the waistband helps cheat an hourglass figure. Finish with a pair of white court sneakers for an Ivy League look.
Disney x Coach Dumbo Intarsia sweater, S$550
Part of a special collaboration that features the beloved cartoon elephant Dumbo (its live-action movie is slated to hit cinemas here end-March), this powder blue jumper with a cute sparkly hem is a fun piece to wear to work on casual Fridays. Layer under a slip dress for a quirky and fun vibe, or over your dress to keep warm in the harsh air-conditioned office.
Alexander McQueen jewelled satchel, S$3,370
We love a bag that can be worn in many ways. This piece for example, can be carried either as a clutch, shoulder or crossbody bag. The deep purple colour can be easily matched with what is in your closet, and the four-ring adornment, encrusted with Swarovski crystals, gives it a luxe vibe. If you really want to let it shine, evoke the colour wheel and match it with a canary yellow dress.
Chloé lavallière dress, US$1,812 (S$2,456.86)
If this eggshell mini dress is too revealing for work, pair it with a pair of black skinnies or leather pants and boots for a rocker chick look. If not, it is a great weekend date look just with gladiator sandals.
Louis Vuitton waterfront mule, price available in store
Summer is right around the corner and and you can start getting in the mood with this bright tangerine number from Louis Vuitton. This lightweight, waterproof piece is great for the beach. Pair with the H&M bikini below and round up the look with some quirky statement shades.

Saint Laurent blouse with frilly neck in cashmere silk, S$2,740
You risk looking one-dimensional when you wear black, because the colour absorbs all the light. But this black printed blouse from Saint Laurent features details such as a frilly high collar and a removable lavallière tie, which adds visual interest to the look. Go monochromatic but contrast the soft cashmere with a denim skinny jeans and leather boots.
