A Day In China Town




(Netted top from Cosmic/ Red tube bra from Pierre Cardin/ Faux leather skirt from Blogshoppers/ DIY Feather necklace/ Faux leather satchel from Charles & Keith/ Snake print platforms from Bugis Street) 

I love Chinatown. It's crowded streets are more nostalgic than clinical (you know, like Orchard Road). I was there with Shikin to shop for my DIY necessities... I've been going crazy over certain projects, currently working on a necklace with so many feathers that I feel like stabbing myself with one. 

We trekked the streets of Chinatown and found so many awesome things to buy and most of them cost only $10!  Shikin and I were saying, with Chinatown, who needs Topshop! I bought a couple of aaaamazing outerwear that I just can't wait to wear!!! I can't wait to go back to Chinatown too. 

Anyway I must have bought this top 3 years ago in the "discount" bin and I'm only wearing it now ahahah. I had no idea what to wear it with... and yeah, this is pretty much as sleazy as I would get for now. =P

Messy And I Know It




(Tribal maxi from Hurs/ Headband worn as a bracelet from Diva/ Rayban shades/ Slippers from Ripcurl/ Leather sling bag from a flea market/ DIY Feather hairpiece ) 

Today I learned an important lesson, that I'm messy and sometimes probably am too overenthusiastic. Take for example, my outfit today had a lot going on with the tribal prints. On hindsight, I should have carried a simpler bag, oh well, I left it in the car anyway. 

Among all the maxis that I own, this has to be the freakiest one. I thought it was really ugly at first but somehow it just grew on me hahah. Unlike other maxis, this one has to be tied at the back so in a way, I will never be too fat for it even if I were to be 9 months pregnant! 

This feather hairpiece is something I made the night before and was really excited to wear it out this afternoon! Throughout the day, I was so afraid someone would just yank it out for a joke. What do you think?

Black And Yellow





(Button down shirt from Bugis Street/ Faux leather shorts from Posh/ Vintage Carlo Rino Bag from CGV/ DIY Feather necklace/ Ring from Topshop) 

Hahaha, Wiz Khalifa's Black And Yellow is playing in the background this very second that I'm updating this blog. 

No photos of my shoes today but I was wearing the Aldo gladiators that I love all too much. It goes with everything! Teehee and I just realized my Topshop ring looks like I'm perpetually giving someone the finger. Well... I guess it suits my sudden disgust for society lately?

Oh oh, this necklace is my very first DIY item I've probably attempted and actually succeeded. It's really simple yet chic. Since I'm going through a rather undesirable insomniac phase, I thought I would spend the time making my own necklaces and earrings. It's something I've always had an interest in but never really got the time nor inspiration to do it.

As anyone can tell, I'm a sucker for feathers. =)
