*Sent Shivers Up My Spine*

It was one of those days, when my tutorial class had to stay behind in school for a class project for Retail Management!

All of us dragged our feet to the school cafeteria for dinner; and that was when my eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

I was in line, for my food, when I saw this girl, with an impossibly eclectic style in the stall beside. My line of vision went straight to her boots as I was wondering how in the world, can she manage to walk around campus in THOSE heels; gorgeous it may be.

It look ridiculously like YSL's Tributes; and guess what?! After a small chat with her, it confirmed my guess!



*faints/*
I asked to snap a picture of her;

YSL shoes are impossibly classy, and gorgeous, and, I don't know, seeing them outside the store's window display just, literally, sent shivers up and down my spine.

Do you have the same feeling too?

PS/ I LOVE, her top too! Love those big, purple lips!:D

Taipei; From The Streets; Androgynous Chic + Me; Complete Opposite!

Yay! It's Esther's and my OFF DAY today; we have another day off tomorrow; But anyway; we decided to make a visit to the wholesale market again; and we've managed to cart home; tons of stuff; which we simply, ADORE!

*If I've got the time tomorrow; I'll probably do a video about the purchases! (It will be a LONG video; if that's the case!)

But the star of today; is HER!

I was captivated by her androgynous style; and her all black outfit; was FAR from boring!



Her blazer's such a gorgeous cut;
And her top has got soft, romantic ruffles and a longish bow which softens the look;
Her geek glasses and bowler hat complements each other; they look so good on her!
( I don't know if anyone else with a pixie hair cut; would look as good with the hat AND the glasses!)



Surprise, surprise, this is a nice touch to the hat!

**

As for me ; I haven't done anything particularly androgynousy;
But I was inspired to match my FAVOURITE, girly; colour block dress with my grungey studded black jacket;

I love how swingy the dress is; without having to cinch the waist in with a belt; and I LOVE, LOVE my newest addition of the hot pink bow to the dress!

Jacket, Bow & Rings; ALL from the markets around;
(They ARE the best places to score for cheap thrills!)
Dress; P.O.A Company
Shoes; Topshop

PS/ For those of you who saw the PREVIOUS post; You'd be glad to know; that I actually took my own advice; and got myself a COLOURFUL tunic today!
It's just, the cutest thing; with loads of little, colourful hearts printed all over!:D

Taipei; From The Streets; The Cutest Couple. Ever.

I was at Hsimending; shopping happily with my darlings; when I spotted this mass of brown, longish hair; topped off with an uber cool fedora.

On a closer look; I saw him with THIS GIRL; wearing the cutest pastel; DIYish top;



Hamm & Miyuki looks super cute together; And totally matchy; in a non kitchsy way.

Their black jeans;
Biker boots;
And that same laid back;
Grungey attitude that simply oozes out of them.

How they managed; to look so cheeky and cute; is beyond me.


On a second thought; MAYBE; it's their colourful tees/tunics.

Let's add COLOURFUL, GRAPHIC TEES; to our shopping list then:D

I Love HSINYI DISTRICT; And Black Jackets Too!

Went out to Hsinyi District (where the infamous Taipei 101 is located;)
And I'm reminded of why; it is my absolute favorite place in Taipei!

To date; I think I've been to the area like; 5 times;
And I'm still so friggin hyped up; each time I'm there!


Anyway;
It was on one of my trips down; when I saw this guy;

Russell's plaid beret and geek glasses were one of the first things which I noticed about him;
Then, I took in his black jacket; perfectly faded jeans; and huge belt buckle!
(His bag added cookie points for him of course!)



Just when I thought his jacket couldn't be better; I fell in love; with Annie's leather jacket!
Love the zippers; the folds; the tiny details; the fit, especially.

*

So it was actually; after this incident; which made me crave for a good fitting; grungey; black jacket;

I was SO EXCITED; when I spotted this jacket;
LOVE the zippers; the STUDS; the fit; the material of course!

And the fact that it costs about NT$650 (USD$23) didn't hurt either!

Blazer & Tights; Wufen (五分铺)

Taipei; From The Streets; Prairie Girl In Jeans!

Hey Dearies!
I'm SO TIRED; after interning for 6days straight; it's SUNDAY tomorrow; And I have to wake up at 0530 tomorrow for the breakfast shift; BUT still; it's fun(: I'm sure this is an experience I'll never forget!

ANYWAY,
I've got to go soon; so sorry; that I haven't been visiting your blogs; i'll be having OFF DAYS next week; so I'll be sure to do a follow up!

AND, here's an outfit from one cutesy Prairie sales girl from Shilin Nightmarket;



LOVE her hair, especially; and her boots are just fab! I REALLY; am trying to find a good pair which I could use for my winter holidays!

Okay, I got to run; have to shower and wake up in a couple of hours time;

SEE YOU SOON:D

From The Streets ( And My Own!); The Last; And The First;

Hey darlings! I'm FINALLY in Taipei!!
Today was DAY 1 of work and it was tiring! BUT it was really exciting; learning new things; and trying to build rapport, with the fellow interns in the F&B department!

Went out to popular shopping district, Hsimending, after work with my darling bestie; Esther; and we just had tons of fun; absorbing the sights and sounds, and had so much fun; taking it all in; that WE ARE finally in Taipei, and will be here, for the next 6months!

OF COURSE we went shopping; and we've bought some stuff;
SHE got some really pretty plaid dresses and I got my hair accessories (my latest fetish!);

I LOVE ESTHER'S jacket; with all the visible zips and she's one girl; that is superbly comfortable in black and grey;




Jacket: G2000 (A brand from Hong Kong)
Grey Tunic: Dong Dae Mun, South Korea's Wholesale Center




Here's my FIRST outfit in Taipei;
Thank goodness for the trench as it was drizzling and I had something to cover up!
PS/ I don't usually wear bright colours, but I felt a little daring today; it was LIBERATING!

Trench Coat: Echo
Tunic: Promod
Leggings: Giordano
Shoes: Taipei's Shilin Night Market
Bow Headband: Hsimending
Bag: Prada


ANYWAY,
I shall backtrack to the LAST SG Street Snapshot; when I was still in Singapore a couple of days ago; I was shopping at Far East Plaza, when I saw this jazzy, pop of colour; worn by this tall, tall, girl, WHO was wearing heels!
(Again, I had a soft spot for her boots; and I HAD to take a picture of her!)




Dara's a student from Jakarta, Indonesia, and I LOVE her long tee; worn with those; GORGEOUS, 9 West boots!
They are most perfect! To pair with leggings, legwarmers, socks, or even rolled up jeans!

To finish the outfit was her grungey, studded bag which, complemented her bright, graphic long tee, so wonderfully!



Okay, that's all I have for today; I shall go off to bed then! Reporting time for work tomorrow: 7am!



PS/ I will try to post up pictures from the Christian Lacroix's exhibition, as soon as I can!

AND, I will try to catch up on the comments ASAP!

Much Loves!

From The Streets; Wonderful "Vintage" Satchel + VLOG 4!

Took this picture on the sly a couple of days back; but I guess, there was no real need to inform the unsuspecting lad; as it was his BAG which I'm interested in!



LOVED that brown, "vintage" satchel and I'm drawn, ESPECIALLY to the gold buckles! They're so retro, something that I can imagine my parents using, when they were younger!

It's not everyday that I get to see a teenage boy, especially one in his school uniform, using such a fantabulous bags; as they are usually carrying huge, clumsy crumplers or low, slouchy backpacks.

WE NEED, more lads like that around!
Though he's obviously younger than me, I find myself gravitating towards him; the VIBE that he is giving off; with the nonchalant, rocker attitude;
(His loud music, BLARING from his ear piece; and that fact that he's got COOL STUDS on his Vans, gave that part away! Yes, I've got a soft spot for musicians!)

ANYWAY,
Here's another VLOG for all of you! Hope you enjoy it! You May CLICK ON THIS Too!



PS/ You may want to increase the volume of your speakers as it may be a little soft!

Much Loves!

From Campus & The Streets; The Verdict's Out; RIP EVERYTHING!

Some of you regulars may recognize Samantha , as the Girl with The Gorgeous Denim Jacket from THIS POST and she's appearing on this blog again; because of her fabulous ripped tank top!

The ripped back is so delicate; but Sam's accessorized really well with this top, and it is so perfect!

I don't know where's she's got the top from, but Sam's paired the top with a high waisted skirt from Espirt, and a vintage DKNY backpack which she loves to bits!

I'll like to take this chance to give a shout out to YOU, Dearie!

Sam's probably still on a flight now, to Orlanda, Florida, where she is starting a 4 months attachment with Disneyland!

Tons of luck and love to you, babe! I'll definitely miss you and of course! Your crazy, grunge/pretty princess style((:

*
Anyway, I was crossing the road just now, when I spotted this really petite girl; standing by the bus stop;

I LOVE Sonia's ripped jeans; which were DIY; and I love her long, flowy grey top;

She's so perfectly grunge;
But she's cute-n the look by adding that extra big, black bow on her head! Which was just so pretty(:

And WHOEVER CAN, EVER, resist, nude sandals?!

Not ME for sure ;)

From The Streets, The Dandy Who Played With Fire

This was I think; the first time when I had to literally chase after someone to snap a picture of!

Was at the train station; plugged into my iPod, and happily, going off to meet my girls when I saw this guy, who's fedora was perched precariously on his head;

I HAD to look at his shoes; and I was sold (IT WAS SOO PERFECTLY STRAPPY!); I KNEW I had to get a picture of him; Made an about turn; and I almost missed him going down the steps!

I loved Farid's shoes; and how he had taken the trouble to roll up his leg cuffs!

And on a closer look; I fell in love with his shirt;
THOSE HOLES! They look pretty much like DIY; Whoever had thought of burning holes onto a tee shirt?! That's just so wonderful!

And yes, I'm still in SG, I will be leaving for Taipei soon; though I don't really know when; as we're still waiting for the work permit and visa permits; owell; I will do a video again before I leave; my LAST ONE, before I leave for 6months!

On a last note; I NEED HELP for Spring wear!! I need to pack light though; so I need tons of help; for the staples that I can bring along(:

Thanks a million!((:

From The Streets, Cutesy Denim Jumper

Was at a chalet the past few days and it was a blast! Had to get some stuff for my mom at the supermarket and that's where I spotted this girl along the aisle!

Was a little hesitant when I saw Kanako because I can't speak a word of Japanese and I'm not sure if she understood English.



Took a deep breath, anyhow, and I approached her; Love her cutesy, pale denim jumper, paired with that cute, big, pouffy cardigan and a surprise, Converse High Tops! Love her cutesy style and she looked like she's having so much fun in her outfit! Which is what fashion is all about!

I ended off, introducing my name; and asking her for hers; In the few bits of Japanese which my darling friends taught me; and there was a huge sense of achievement after this picture as I've managed to do 2 things which I thought I can't!


And I'm glad I managed to snap another picture of a darling tourist!:D

From The Streets; Got The HOTS For PRINTS!

SO SORRY for my absence! I've got a valid excuse; since it was Chinese New Year and I was busy visiting my relatives; some whom I haven't seen in a year!
( Will try to post up some of the pictures soon! )

But ANYWAY,
I was at Cotton On yesterday evening with my girlfriends when I saw this girl with the coolest(!) bright coloured jacket walking by!



What struck me most was the way she had worn it with her gorgeous houndstooth high waist pencil skirt, and her HAIR! She just reminded me so much of Cory Kennedy!

What's making me wreck my brains now is that; she's also got a super cool name to match; BUT! I've forgotten to note it down! I feel like knocking my head on the wall! Owell, I've given her my blog(: So, SHOULD this mystery Asian Cory Kennedy lookalike pop by; I WILL LET YOU KNOW!((:

Taipei; From The Streets; Warmly Bundled Up With Colours!

So, these are probably the last few Streetshots which I've got from Taipei; which I love just as much!

LOVE this couple! And how everything they had on gave out such a groovy hip hop vibe. Although I'm not much of a sneakers girl, I love Evon's gold graffiti smeared sneakers! (And her hair!)

Of course! I love both their eye catching bags! And EVERYONE knows that the "IT" bags of this season should have as many colour and prints and they deem fit!

And girlfriends out there! Who LOVE to be all matchy matchy with their beau; Take a clue from Evon & Benji; They've gone with the common theme of AMERICANA! And it's so FAB! With his cap and her gorgeous bag!

IT'S SO! NON CHEESY! IT'S PERFECT!

And this gorgeous girl here; I love Saiya's knit dress ( + the length of those sleeves) And that LOVELY shade of green here! Which complimented her hair colour!

And although you guys can't really see in this picture; She had on a pair of TOTALLY cute fringe moccasins boots which she'd tucked her grey skinnies in!

I can never get enough of Taipei! And the people there!

And RIGHT NOW! I'm actually waiting for news of the interview which I had done over the phone with Holiday Inn East Taipei! I'm hoping to secure a 6months internship at their hotel! AND FINGERS CROSSED! I HOPE; SO SO HOPE! That I could get in there!

Taipei; From The Streets; 3 BFFS, 3 Eclectic Individualists

Thought I'd post up more pictures from Taipei(:

At first, I was only thinking of snapping a picture of dear Sunday ( on the Left); She was selling me the exact paisley dress that she had on; which reminded me so much of those from Gucci's F/W 08 campaign; but she lent an edgier feel to the entire look!

As I was paying for my dress (TWD$330, which were about USD$10!), I saw Sunday's friends/ business partners who were coming out from the back room!

I was gravitating towards Ken's grungy look; ESPECIALLY his bleached splotted jeans; which were tucked into a pair of motorcycle boots and I was in love with Peggy's warm knitted dress which reminded me so much of Christmas! With the cute maple leaves prints(:

I've seen SO SO MANY of those dresses and I WISH I could buy one home and wear it without sweating like a horse!

To the majority of you who are from the Northern Hemisphere; just KNOW that I'm so so envious of you!

ANYWAY;
Many of you are so in love with the gorgeous Chanel Christmas tree; and since it's Christmas today; I have another one for all of you to fall in love with!

I WAS FLOORED WHEN I SAW THIS TIFFANY & CO. TREE!

It's HUGE-R than Chanel's and the array of Tiffany's robin blue gift boxes just blew me away!
I only wish I could see it during nightfall; It's gna be so so gorgeous!

Have a Blessed Christmas My Dear Blogettes((:

Taipei; From The Streets; Mostly Black + A Dreary (SO NOT!) Tree

CHRISTMAS IS ROUND THE CORNER!

Unless you live in a cave; or if you're a hermit who rarely ventures out; a trip down town would TELL you that it's Christmas! I'm not talking about the gorgeous Fairy lights or the decorations BUT the CROWD!

OMG! To think that we live in the 21st Century where Online Shopping is the norm; I guess, we're all a stickler for traditions; going through the routine of getting; "hand picked" gifts for our loved ones...

You guys would probably know my LOVE for Chanel; So imagine how I felt when I saw this tree right in front of me when I was shopping at Sogo, in Taipei!



A CHANEL CHRISTMAS TREE OF ALL THINGS!

Maybe we shall have a very Chanel Christmas eh? HAHA
(A girl can always dream:D)



That night; while shopping around; I saw this guy; who was decked in black too! Just like my gorgeous Christmas tree; And I couldn't resist; stopping him to snap a picture!

I love his preppy blazer and ESPECIALLY his jeans! They were more of a gunmetal grey; but it's totally rock & roll; and that striped scarf just completes the outfit!

**

This trip to Taipei, I honestly, almost did get whiplash; looking at uber stylish fashionistas on the streets! There are tons of them! And their style varies from person to person! Everyone was so much of an individualist; I wished I've got more courage to step foward or run after them (some of the walk REAL fast!) to get a picture!

I've got a couple more on my desktop and I'll post them up soon! In the meanwhile, let's drink hot cocoa, listen to Christmas carols and bask in the Christmas spirit!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
