Red Carpet Look // APSA 2017

-

This Thursday, I had the privilege of attending the Asia Pacific Screen Awards.

I left the event feeling inspired and proud to be a part of this film industry… Unlike the smoke & mirrors of LA (I love LA – don’t get me wrong), the event was organic, and the speeches were filled with joy and accomplishment that the years of challenging work each nominee & award winner put in to the film industry had finally been recognized.

My favourite part of the event was seeing so many diverse cultures come together in celebration through film, & in an industry that still does not represent varying cultures and people of all races (pop culture), it was so so incredible to actually see just that in my own country.

As Ann Marie Fleming (APSA Award winner for her animated film: Window Horses) said on the night: “Poetry and art can build bridges between cultures”

The Look

To say I'm in love with this dress is an understatement!
This dress is both elegant and classic whilst still being modern...
The dress is perfect for long events, as it is so comfortable and it has pockets!!
Thank you Haute & Sole for dressing me.

The Hair
For the hair, I went with a simple (almost beach-y) curl to create an ethereal look... 
I also wanted a half-up do to frame my face but to also bring attention to the beautiful earrings I was wearing. I went with a braid to make it look youthful as well as intricate!
Thank you so much to Melissa for styling my hair!

Accessories
Honestly I'm so in love with these jewelry pieces.
Nothing says elegance like a string of pearls & diamond drop earrings.
Get the earrings here: Pear Diamante Drop Earrings
Get the necklace here: Ivory Pearl Necklace

This clutch is so beautiful, the jewels in the center create a sweet, heart shape that makes it very princess-y. Whilst, it is silver rhinestones that cover the clutch, it still tied in with the outfit because of the tan underlining & the ivory beads.
Get the clutch here: Clutch Bags // Forever New (SOLD OUT :( )

Lost Connection

  It happened on a Saturday night… I could feel my mind growing heavy with anxiety and as much as I attempted to ignore it, my head was swirling with constant nagging thoughts… Before I knew it, I was laying in bed unable to breathe. Disconnected. I felt like the person I knew I was (& still am) was being sneakily tucked away in a draw as social media consumed me in its smoke & mirrors. For me, I never wanted social media to feel fake… There is enough of that on there as it is (both on social media and in the real world). However, the more I posted the more I felt myself being drained by the feeling that I had to be someone or/& impress people. I’m an Aquarius… So, that did not sit well for me (didn’t last long either, hah) The day after, I informed you all that I needed a break. I went away with both the intention of relaxing & figuring out what my “goal” was for social media. Deep down I knew that what I wanted most was to build a platform,
