I wasn’t actually planning on taking outfit pictures that day, but I chanced into a classmate and I had my camera with me, so I thought why not? (Yes, I sometimes happen to carry a bulky DSLR with me…) This outfit is slightly boring, but it is an accurate picture as to what I wear on ...
Visited the Natural History Museum with Arissa! It’s one of my favourite places in London, probably because Singapore doesn’t have anything nearly like that. I had lessons prior to meeting her, hence the footwear and the rather casual outfit. Looking at these pictures make me long for...
I am by no means a beauty blogger, but I love slapping on makeup so I figured that I’d share how I do my everyday look. This is my (almost) everyday makeup, which I feel is versatile enough for most occasions! I will list the products used at the end of the tutorial. Please don’t hesi...
If you haven’t seen us posting about it all over Twitter already, Arissa and I met up last week!! We were lucky that it was still warm when she was here. The day after she left, the temperature dropped to near freezing. We would have been too busy being wrapped up to take outfit shots...
I have spammed these boots all over Twitter a while ago, so sorry if you have to see it again. I have been lusting after these boots ever since I saw them in On Pedder and Net-a-porter, but I never actually thought I’d buy them. They are like stripper boots on steroids – there’s somet...
Urban Decay Naked palette . A staple in most makeup collections, I’d say. The Urban Decay Naked 2 palette is coming out on 5th Feburary here in the UK, and I’m so eager to snap one up (despite me having more than enough eyeshadows already…). It’s a cooler palette compared to the origi...
I have been as productive as Arissa has been unproductive – all in the name of procrastinating writing my essay for as long as possible. I am kind of dreading going back to London – how did time pass so fast anyway?! It feels like I have just been bumming around doing nothing, and sud...
It has been a while since we have featured editorials on this blog, but once in a while we stumble upon one that just sweeps us off our feet. I came across an editorial aptly named The Color of Night while doing my usual rounds on the Internet and I just loved every single look. Not s...
I’m finally back in Singapore! It feels amazing to relax and do absolutely nothing after a mad rush to meet submission deadlines. Regardless, here’s a big happy Holidays to everyone! I did not bring much back with me seeing that I will be returning to school in a couple weeks’ time. I...
Travelogue [New York City]: Life in stillness posted by Arissa Featured , Personal , Style Inspiration Harsh winter days are spent burrowing myself in the sheets with the laptop to keep the tummy warm. There was also a revelation that radiators are good surfaces for taking photos as i...
The weather’s really starting to bite as we slowly edge out of autumn and into winter… Arissa gave me this cape when we met up in Paris, and I can’t stop wearing it! <3 It’s definitely not warm enough on its own, but it’s perfect when thrown over a leather jacket. Speaking of which, I...
on a friend’s recommendation, and I do believe this is by far one of the best meals I’ve ever had. If you are heading to Paris, I strongly recommend this to you as well. It combines three things that I love – amazing food, great value and an easy ambience.
Right now, I’m in a sweater phase. There’s nothing like a warm snuggly sweater to feel comfortable during the cold harsh winter. I’d layer it over a pair of leather shorts for warmer winters and probably a long midi skirt paired with ankle boots for a slightly more dressy look.
The weekend in Paris came and gone in a breeze but it remains one of my favorite memories with Dawn. I’ve been to Paris a few times but mostly exploring the city on my own. It’s very different when you have someone close roam Paris with you. One of the biggest draw was to have all the...
I must be the last person to buy into the Urban Decay Naked palette hype. Arissa got me to try hers when we were in Paris, and I was completely sold on it. Sleek makeup is a brand that you can find in Superdrug here in the UK, and I really love how pigmented their products are. I boug...
Winter is upon us and it’s finally time to layer up and keep warm. Leather trimming and accents make for a good texture contrast when layering up in an all black outfit. Madly in love with the Jil Sander bag, I’ve been looking all over for a spacious and minimalist looking one.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Right here in Singapore we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but any reason for a good meal is a cause for celebration. The Gareth Pugh x MAC collection was released on 23 November in USA. Guess who went ahead and bought too much makeup? Prior to being at the ...
It is important that you pick sellers that have pictures of actual the actual products especially when it is a replica of a brand item where pictures of it are easily accessible online. The seller will usually state that it is “实图” which means that it is pictures of the actual product...
It’s bittersweet going through these pictures – they remind me of the lovely time I had with Arissa in Paris, but I can’t help moping over the fact that I wouldn’t see her again till Summer simultaneously. Paris is a beautiful city, but I believe it was made even more wonderful by sim...
I had to head to Paris for work and Dawn decided to come down and spend the weekend together. She wasn’t too fond of Paris previously and I had to change that. Paris is a beautiful city and we had so much fun walking around, taking pictures and eating.
Regular readers of this blog would find these familiar. I had actually bought a pair of these dsquared replica in my last taobao order . I broke them when I was in Moscow, it could be the way I packed it or the lousy quality of the shoes itself. Long story short, I needed it in my lif...
I can’t believe it is already November. Where did my time go?! It’s going to be winter soon and I am still posting about and buying autumn clothes…it’s ridiculous. Sorry for the lack of posts, school has been hectic, and when I am not busy rushing assignments, I’m busy sleeping. Clear...
First up are the outers.. Clockwise from top: H&M double breasted jacket. It’s nowhere heavy enough for winter or even later this month, but it’s just about right for now. Zara blazer with zipper accents . I was eyeing it in store, but once I found out that Arissa bought the same one ...
The Gareth Pugh x Mac collection has been announced and will be available in US on 23Nov and the rest of the world in December. The nail polishes are looking very good but the biggest draw for me is the makeup pouch.
I do apologise for the lack of posts this entire month. I was rushing Halloween costumes (yeah you heard right, I don’t think anyone’s interested though, it’s not black btw) and really out of touch with drafting and sewing.
Sorry for the lack of updates on my part. Now that school has started full swing, I barely have enough time to go out, let alone find anyone to take pictures of my outfits. So all I have for now are shots taken in and around my little hole here in London.
Outfit Post: Anywhere but home [Black Outfit Ideas] posted by Arissa Outfits Can someone just PLEASE invent teleportation already? I just can’t wait to be home. Also, I started playing dressup cause there wasn’t really anything to do. You can really make out the odd drapes of this tsh...
Sometimes, it just takes very little for something to hit you really hard in the head. “The last straw” some people call it. I made a really huge decision earlier last week, it seemed more like a promise to myself. Whether or not it was a good decision, it’s still too premature to tel...
