Wondermilk!

 (Maxi dress from CGV, Sandals from hours, Faux leather sling bag from Vincci)

OMG OMG. Sorry, just had to put that. Well, it's been awhile since I last updated an outfit post! So here I am at the Wondermilk event with my friends. Wondermilk is a cafe that sells cupcakes, smoothies, milkshakes and some other food like fries etc. I love the concept and design of the store, I felt like I was transported into a fairy tale world of pretty, delicious cupcakes.

There were a few trays of cupcake samples and I managed to grab 3 different flavors before they ran out. Delicious! I wish I could buy a box of them but alas, my hostel is pathetic. NO REFRIGERATOR! Well moving along, I brought this dress along with me to KL hoping to find an occasion to wear it out as it's just too lovely for school!

So I'm glad that day came. =P

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. =) 

Je suis pressé!

(Button down satin shirt from Hurs/ High Waisted skinny jeans from Bugis Street/ Beige wedges from Plain Jane/ Triple Gold necklace from Aldo)

These were taken at home. I was already in a rush to meet Sandra and the afternoon light was quickly fading away as the sun started to set... so I got my gamer of a brother to take some quick snap shots of me.

As you can see my hair wasn't even combed, it's all wet and my shirt isn't ironed. I really need to start making effort to iron my clothes, it's either you go all the way to style yourself nicely or you don't right? Rather than be all lazy and somewhat half hearted like me. 

This high waisted jeans is one of the many Valentine's Day gifts from Luqman, you can't tell it's high waisted I know... cause I didn't quite tuck it in. The color is a bit too light, it makes me look fat!!! Oh well, shall get the same one in a darker color soon. 

I've been sick from fever and the dreaded flu for the past few days... I hope it doesn't show in my face. =(

Do you think I should smile more? Yeah ok, that's a totally silly question. 

Leopards And More

(Leopard printed dress from Ztamp/ Dreamcatcher necklace from Rastafari/ Vintage bag from CGV/ Beige wedges from Plain Jane/ Ear cuff from Topshop)

Not another outfit that's not actually colorful! I'm a sucker for leopard prints, I have a leopard printed skirt, jeans, pants, scarves, dress and even an outerwear. It's like one of my favorite prints ever, I'm hoping to someday get a faux leopard fur coat. 

And yes I know, the lack of sleep is evident. (Hmm I'm starting to think my face can never go without blusher, so ugly!) I'm trying my best to sleep but I'm just stressing over my lack of funds for my upcoming trip to Bangkok, Cambodia and Vietnam. I can't be the only person who stresses over holidays right?

This ear cuff marks the end of shopping for the month of February till May when I spree at Bangkok's weekend market. :)

Hehehe, my dear friend Sandra who decided to join in the fun. 

Starry Night

(Aztec blouse from Topshop/ Bandage skirt from Cotton On/ Necklace from Pull & Bear/ Gladiators from Aldo/ Accessories from all over)

Starry Night refers to the gorgeous painting by Van Gogh on exhibition at the National Museum. It's a fine piece of art, I'm no art connoisseur but one can appreciate the colors and the strange peacefulness that comes with it. Who doesn't love gazing and wishing among the stars? 

Van Gogh and I share one common interest and that's colors. Ok, just realized I've worn like black and white two posts in a row! That's rare. 

I swore to myself I'll never wear bandage skirts ever again cause they're for skinny chicks but once I saw this girl, who was let's just say not very skinny... she was rocking the bandage skirt. She looked stylish and sexy despite her size so you could say I was inspired by her. :)

By the way, do check out the Dreams & Reality arts exhibition. You won't regret it. 

Monochrome Or Not

(Vintage blouse from CGV/ Sling bag from Kuala Lumpur/ Shorts from Hurs/ Boots from H&M/ Rings from Topshop and Diva/ Earrings from Diva)

Ahaha, shorts! Now that's a rare occurrence, I tend to avoid wearing shorts as I have fat thighs which I try to minimize with the help of black tights. I think these cute pair of shorts was meant to be high waisted but its a bit loose so it sits on my hips instead.

Those earrings, I must had them for over a year yet this is probably the first time I've worn them out. You see, I'm really a color loving individual (as evident from the rest of my outfits)... thus this turquoise bag for a pop of color!

If you're here... please leave a comment. =P

Little Gangsters

(Vintage dress from CGV/ high waisted belt from Talisman/ brown loafers from Green Poppies/ red bag from Bangkok/ vintage wooden bangle- my mother's) 

Spent a little time at Bugis before heading over to Henderson Road to babysit a class of demented 10 year olds. Kids are an unfamiliar territory for me, I pick a herd of horses to look after any day. I've never felt so lost, frustrated and desperate all at once in a long, long time. Kids, they can smell fear. 

Anyway who knew Tiong Bahru had such a pretty playground nearby! Managed to squeeze in 15 minutes of play time for myself. :)

Are We Not Horses?

(Sequinned top from Blogshopping/ Pleated flare pants & floppy hat from Topshop/ Gladiators from Aldo/ Assorted accessories from all over)

Today was close to perfect, went to visit my beautiful horses at the Singapore Polo Club where I used to work. It's one of the few places I really really miss working at. I didn't expect to visit them today, it was a spur of the moment but oh my gosh, the horses remembered me. They're still as loving, magnificent and messy as ever. 

I have a thing for sequined items, like blouses, skirts, beanies... etc. When worn the right way, they can be stylish and even add a zest to an otherwise boring outfit. Think a white tank top with jeans, throw on a sequined blazer for night or a sequined beanie for daytime. Do you guys have any idea what other pair of shoes I could pair my pants with other than slippers or sandals? 

And oh yeah, I'm definitely a gypsy. :P

Bonjour!

(Dress from theblogshop/ belt from Elitrend/ Rayban shades/ Aldo gladiators/ assorted bangles from Little India)

Post French language lesson.

I kinda embarrassed myself in class by volunteering to give directions in French. Who the hell was I trying to kid, I couldn't even give directions in my own native language!! Anyway, when you have to get through the day with barely 3 hours of sleep, you don't really wanna waste time thinking what to wear. Days like these calls for simplicity and that means dresses!

Pilot.

(Mustard Shirt from Hurs/ Studded Skirt from OhSoFickle/ Deer Necklace/ Hellraiser knock offs)

This is my first attempt at fashion blogging and I'm proceeding with both caution and utter bewilderment. I'm no high flier. I don't have any glamourous photographer boyfriend nor a pair of endless legs. I don't have a sea of heels either. But I love fashion, clothes and playing around with the budget that I have.

Watched The Viral Factor with Luqman, we've been watching mandarin movies in the spirit of CNY! Bugis was a ghost town, but as I've told him, if all the foreign talents/ workers were to suddenly disappear, this is probably how relaxed and slow-paced the day would go by. Breathing space, personal space, we've taken all these for granted.
