I keep minimal make-up in my bag because I don't really use much and need only the basic for touch ups during the day.  I didn't post photo of my phone and ipad which I also carry around inside my bag.

Style

Style is what you have, not what you buy.  There are no rules to personal style except your own.  You may be flashy but classy or simple yet fabulous.  No one is born with it, most definitely.  

However, we owe part of our acquired taste to whoever was in charge of dressing us up when we were children.  For me, style is not just about what you wear.  It also encompasses all mannerisms and gait of a person which exhibits the real character of that person.  For one to have style, you simply cannot take dressing up for granted.  Let's face it, the world judge us by the way we look and who doesn't want to look good and make a good impression, right?  

"The appearance of effortlessness is the result of great deal of discipline and cultivated thought"

"Style does not come to you unless you pay attention to it"


"I like guys who make almost a wrong clothing decision, but make it in the right spirit.  That's style to me.  Even if it's a mistake, you walk with your head up high and smile, and forget about it."
