Look what one of my girlfriends bought for me from China's H&M. It's pretty chunky even though the picture may not seem so. I am thrilled, my first H&M buy. Haha, I am such a noob. Can't wait for the H&M boutique to open at Orchard Ion in July!

Lace top from Mango, Jacket from Cotton On, Shoes from Mphosis.

Ps: My face complexion is getting worse by the day. ):

I'll be starting temp work next Thursday, which means little or no outfit updates for that next 20 days. Black (company) polo tee, pants, and pumps for that 20 days, agony! Maybe I'll do a "what I would wear today" feature if time permits me to do so. (:

Tanktop from pull & bear, Pants (with belt) from bysi, Zipper sandals from mphosis

The weather these days has been downright crazy! So this called for an ice-cream date. Oh, and this explains my outfit too. Extremely weather-appropriate in my opinion.

Zipper sandals from Mphosis.




Bow (more like knots, haha) Heels from local boutique.

Belt: Comes with a pair of pants I bought, Fedora: Cotton On, Shoes: Steve Madden

"Why are you wearing my sweatshirt baby?"
"Why not? You keep it at my place and you don't wear it anymore."
"You got to pay me for it. 10 dollars please." (he was joking)
"What?! No way."
"Pay up!"
"I'm just keeping it for you in case you need it for colder days or when we travel to colder (climate) countries."
"Yea okay, you're keeping it for me. But why are you WEARING it?"
"Errrrrr.. in case it gets too old and dusty in the closet?"
......
"Whatever babe!"

:D

I bought this yesterday from a random cart store and I thought it is a really good buy! Not only can you conjure up ways to wear it as a bracelet (as shown in the pictures above, obviously there is more ways to wear it just that I have limited brain juice to spare =/) , it also doubles up as a necklace AND a waist belt at the same time!

Shawl: f21, Dress: Cotton On, Bag: Mango, Shoes: DMK, Drink: my favorite Strawberry Bubble Tea!

(Shawl is secured using a gold safety pin and tada! A fringed top!)

Caught 17 Again today. I can shamelessly say that I am a Zac Efron girl now. Used to find him disgusting but now I think he's pretty hot after watching the movie. I am totally into teen/chick flicks, hahaha. Yea, I am so not intellectual at all. :D

I have zilch inspiration in dressing up these days. Well annnnyway, (a real!!!) shopping trip tomorrow with a girlfriend tomorrow! Hopefully the shopping trip will be a fruitful one!

Advert! (heh): The boyfriend is selling the Casio G-1100BD Gravity Defier watch. Brand new! It's retailing at SGD400 at G-Factory and he's selling it for SGD220. E-mail me at [email protected] for more information if interested. (:





Ps: Using tinypic now, thanks to abby for the suggestion!

Inner Tank, Studded Bag: f21, Denim over-sized shirt was my dad's, Shoes: Vincci

I've been digging into my mum's/dad's old fashion archives too much, I know. Haha. That's what happens when you get too poor to buy new stuff. The button blunder was deliberate. A kind Caucasian woman actually came up to me and told me discreetly about my button slip-up, hahaha. Hey, who said that buttons have to be at their rightful buttonhole? I say rules are meant to be broken. :D

Over-sized shirt was my mum's dad's, Mango Bag, J.Lo Shoes.

Tank from Mango, Sandals from Schu, Studded bag from f21, Tie-dye stocking/"hand-warmer"/sash bought from flea at Home Club.

So today I headed to Tampines 1, the new shopping mall in Tampines (duh, haha), with a girlfriend. The main purpose was to check out Uniqlo, Japan's number one casual wear brand's first ever store in Singapore. The crowd was crazy, probably due to the opening sale going on (until 19 April!). Luckily we got in before they implemented the queue system, heh.




Taken using the handy iphone.

What I got myself from a random boutique:

My mum headed up to Genting Highlands (in Malaysia) for the long weekend and bought me a pair of heels from a shoe boutique named Vincci (I heard from a fellow Malaysian ex-colleague that it's like the Charles n Keith of Singapore). Though the heels are a tad bit short for my liking, I love the intertwining details and the mustard color!



Sorry for the horrible quality of the photos!

Inner tanktop from Topshop, Jacket was my mum's, Heels from Aldo.

I'm stealing from my mum's closet again, haha. She don't wear it anymore anyway! I love the thick padded shoulders and its design on it, annnnd the color is a plus! Oh I love my mum. :D

Anyhow, I promised to give a verdict on the Aldo platform pumps, so here goes. Well, it currently has the highest heels in my shoes collection but actually, the height is not the problem. The size is a tad big for me so my heels kind of slips up and down the shoes when I walk, which is extremely irritating. I stuck on paddings at the back of the heel but it's not really helping as much as I want it to. If you guys know anything that can help, please let me know! In all, I love it! If not for that. ):

So anyway, I will be opening a stall with my darling sister tomorrow (only) at Mount Sophia in Dhoby Ghaut. Drop by if you can! I will be selling away my mesh heels because it's a tad bit small for me. ): Selling things cheap, hoping to see you girls (hello fellow Singaporeans!) there. (:

I can't believe that I'm actually posting about Paris Hilton but I have to say that this is a decent outfit on her, for once. Believe it or not, I am ashamed to say that I own a Confessions of an Heiress book. But it's all in the past now, please do not condemn me. :D

Dress from cotton on, Shirt from mango, Heels from local shoe boutique DMK, Studded Bag and necklace from f21, bracelet from pull n bear.

This is my "GOD-I-don't-know-what-to-wear-damn-it-I-really-need-to-get-out-of-the-house-NOW-let-me-just-throw-this-on-just-fuck-it" outfit. Hahahaha.

Was planning to stay at home the whole day to do up my portfolio yesterday but my sister wanted to head out to town. I agreed half-heartedly because I knew it would be a window-shopping experience for me. But nonetheless, I had fun at the end of the day. Hm, I almost forgot I had a sister whom I can talk to and have fun with because we're always doing our own separate stuffs.









Inner tank top from topshop, Vest was my mum's, DIY Brown Studded Bag, DIY leggings from Cotton On, Heels from Mphosis.



Check out her Marc Jacobs bag she got at SGD300 from her ultra-rich friend who used it like, two times! Jealous!

Anyway.. When we were browsing around in On Pedder, the shopkeeper decided to present me with this and said "You'll like this."..


source: stylebyme

You bet I do like this! But I'm sorry Mr. Shopkeeper, I can't afford this at the moment! =/ He was really sweet and friendly though, I like. (:

Fedora from Cotton On, Dress from Pull n Bear, Stockings bought online and Shoes from local shoe boutique and Studded Bag from f21.

Very interesting tagline outside On Pedder, a shoe boutique that carries brands like Alaïa, Alexander McQueen, Alexander Wang, Ann Demeulemeester, Balenciaga, Balmain, Chloé, Christian Louboutin, Dolce & Gabbana, Dries Van Noten, Giuseppe Zanotti Design, Givenchy, Jimmy Choo, Junya Watanabe, Lanvin, Maison Martin Margiela, Marc Jacobs, Marni, Miu Miu, Nicholas Kirkwood, Pierre Hardy, Repetto, Rick Owens, Sergio Rossi, Stella McCartney, Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent. Yes, and in this scenario, cash is king. =/

Someone asked me once what's my most favorite look of all time. I think it's a pair of black or blue denim jeans paired with a white fitted razorback tank top. And that's not all, the woman donning this look has got to have the right figure and the correct body proportion. YUM, INEXPLICABLE HOTNESS. Alas, this look is definitely a look that I cannot carry off well. =/







Second-hand blouse from online, Skirt from GG<5 and Shoes from local shoe boutique.

This is what I wore to a university interview today. I can only say that I seriously lack the skills and qualities required in an interview. Period. Argh. ):
