CNY Isn't Over Yet.

We are terribly sorry for being this late in the game. But Chinese New Year visiting isn’t over yet. Today we'll be sharing with you guys some of our favourite looks this festive season. We both have a penchant for the oriental vibe, and it excites us to go the extra mile during this festive season, so here are some ways to add a touch of oriental chic to your CNY outfits if you're feeling a little uninspired about what to wear for Chinese New Year.

CNY isn't all about red. Jo went for a chinoiserie chic look in Fashmob 's porcelain blue print Trapeze Swing Dress. Bring on some bling to your hair by adding an embellished hair clip.




As you can tell, Jo loves printed dresses, she's wearing Love Bonito 's unique Aurora Layered Ruffle Dress that was sold out islandwide! It's no wonder why everyone bought it during the first hour when it launched. This classy occasion dress has a fun whimsical twist to it. The layering design features juxtaposing textured fabrics with ruffles aplenty. Definitely one of our favourite looks for this Chinese New Year.


Ju, on the other hand, fancies textile fabrics such as crochet. It's definitely a must have textile in your wardrobe. Here are our favourite outfits in crochet fabrics.

And of course, embroidered floral designs and floral printed fabrics are the perfect prints to grace through CNY visitings.








Next up, the highlight of this post, cheongsam, known as, qípáo. Jo and I have never worn qipao for CNY visitings before. It's no doubt that this year, qípáo was in trend. The brands that both Jo & I have worked with had so many collections with pretty qípáo that we couldn't say no to. Here are are our picks!


The Closet Lover | Ethel Floral Printed Qipao in Navy


3inute | Annette Embroidery Modern Cheongsam in Pink


The Closet Lover | Darina Embossed Qipao

If you’re not one to bust into cheongsam, but still want to honour the tradition of wearing oriental this Chinese New Year. We suggest plain fabric for a minimal dressing.






With that, enjoy that remaining days of CNY visiting! 


Talk to you very soon,
