Lady Gaga Concert x Versace

Months before the much anticipated Lady Gaga's concert, I've been cracking for ideas with Joy on what to wear. We've came up with: - buying police tapes from Bunnings and just wrap around myself under a black dress, - borrow Joy's paper lanterns and squeeze my arms through it as sleeves, I even bought a pink feather skirt when I'm broke but that's okay, I've consoled myself that it's worth it for the concert solely for the concert!! But alas, I sticked to my trusty ol' Versace for H&M dress because it's crazy and loud enough for Lady Gaga. And most important of all, it's long sleeves because I'm such a wuss when it comes to the cold. Bleaghhh. I didn't think that the idea of seeing Lady Gaga had sink into my head then. Speaking of which, it was such a difficult t[...]

Modern Classic

The shortest day of the year has been long gone but it's still freezing on certain days though we're gradually moving into Spring. I'm waiting impatiently for the sun to stay longer during the days now, so I don't have to rely on tights to keep my legs warm every time i wear a skirt out! But then again, I clearly remembered how I was longing for winter last year, just so I could put this soft faux fur coat on and stroke myself every second. As I was saying in the last few post that I was a big fan of dalmatian spots and probably still am, this has to be one of the items that's most closely related to the movie character, Cruella De Vil. :razz: But of course, I'm far different from her context of love for dalmatian prints! :roll: I think going to Toast is becoming one of my re[...]

Wallflower

No idea why but when I first saw this pair of yummies, it reminded me of Isabel Marant's zora leather lacquer-wedge sandals instantly. Though it's not exactly similar in every way, though that would be a total rip off but I love how it adds a few inches of height without sacrificing the ease to walk in it. Always on the look out for statement shoes, I forgot how easy it was to settle with pieces that are less attention seeking. I had wanted to buy the same pair in a gold one but it was sold out fortunately (I guess) which led me to this minty shade instead. Venturing into pastels in a few different colours, I've decided to keep it within the cooler hues to keep the outfit soft. Amazingly, I've found a wall when I was walking past a back alley and it reflected the c[...]

Flamingo Tango

I don't know if it's just me or this happens to everyone else but I get obsessed with an animal, and it changes every 6 months. Weird thing is, whenever I go crazy about it, all the prints on clothes seems to be revolving around that animal (i.e Dalmatian the last 6 months, look how many new arrivals comes in dalmatian prints and pattern). To be honest, I've been secretly thinking that maybe, just maybe this is the reason of my existence in life..to predict the next 'IT' animal HHAHAHAHAHA! Definitely widening the range of jobs in the fashion industry ay. Can you imagine if I were to tell people what my job is when I meet new clients? Hi there, I'm the animal predictor for next season's prints. How do you do? Certainly something worth thinking about! Of course, it's obvi[...]

Style Diary : Sporty Casual

Is everyone getting excited for the upcoming London Olympics yet? Listening to the live broadcast of English radio station at work daily, and following the news about where the torch is, it had definitely got me all worked up with the Olympics spirit as well! Of course, this has got me stealing some inspiration to don on the sporty vibe and what better is there to walk in none other than a pair of stylish sneaker wedge? :grin: Doesn't it just make you think of a poster ad with the slogan 'You'll never walk alone'? Just something that pops into my mind whenever I look at it, and I know that no matter what decisions I make or path I take, there will always be people around giving all the love and support. :razz: Playing with a few key trend[...]

A Feminine Take

Having seen so many British inspired styles that boys don on the internet and searching religiously on the it sparked an idea of inspiration to me lately. Or shall I say, the slumbering boy character in me has finally awaken. Did I tell you that I find guys that dresses up in the British high street style are exceptionally visually pleasing? Aaaaanyway, I was looking around for pieces in my wardrobe if I could create a British Boy outfit but with a slight feminine touch just to keep things fresh! It really gives you a sense of satisfaction when you combine the common basics that you often wear on its own and make it into something entirely different and new. Being one of the shirts that has been worn to death for its light weighted fabric and aesthetic reasons, I've [...]

Red Rose

We're still in the midst of a transition period between summer and autumn but while the temperature is still lingering on the warmer side, I figured that dressing in a bright red ensemble wouldn't hurt anyone. Except for that bull which chased my mother up a tree HAHAHAHAHA because she was in a shocking red dress. :razz: This floral blazer screams PRINTS and it resembles my mood perfectly for whole entire month and that's probably the reason why it's being worn to death and hanging lifeless in my closet! Seeing how it blends in with the blooming flowers behind definitely stirs a deceiving image in my head every single time I take a look at it thinking that we're about to experience Spring right now! On the bright side, I guess I have taken after my dad's gardening [...]

New In : Neon Green

Be it letters or packages wrapped in a really nice patterned paper or just the ordinary waxed brown paper or even cardboard boxes(!!), I will be squealing delightedly whenever there's one with my name smacked right across it! Receiving this not long ago has definitely made my week or month. As my mother's birthday was coming close, I decided to get her a present and pamper myself alongside too when I saw the item I was wanting for so long is put onto the sale section in Net-a-porter! To my defense, it was all part of a saving scheme AHEM! As the shipping fee was fixed at a certain rate, I figured that the more you buy, the lesser the cost of shipping for each item! Practically, I'm also saving my future shipping cost if I were to buy mine separately in the future. Putting my financial [...]

Navojo Prints

If you take a look around, you'll notice that in the shopping malls, most of the retail stores are filled with prints in any sorts of colour you can ever imagine. Even most of the designers' collections were print frenzy for the Spring/Summer 2011 season and still going on strong for now if I dare say. When I was working in Zara a few months back, it was an endless torture every week as the latest pieces are coming in twice a week and we are forced to remember every single piece of them! Being voted as one of the person with the weakest resistance e.v.e.r, it's just a matter of time or an intense mental battle before i get my hands on this Navojo printed pants back home as I've been lusting over it ever since!! I guess luck was on my side as it was put onto the sale racks after[...]
