From Campus; And Now, It's All About Plaid!

Ever since the previous post in which I've posted about my adoration for LC's plaid shirt; Plaid seems to be jumping up at me every where I go! I've noticed so many people, both guys and girls wearing them in school and everyone just looked so amazingly grunge or girly.

Was about to go back home today when I saw this girl walking behind me and I just loved how she'd worn the red tartlan shirt with another patterned skirt (The patterns are really faded)! And her SHOES!

I asked about her skirt and I was so impressed when I found out that it was hand made! (She took 2 days!)

She's so tiny isn't she?

Like what The Clothes Horse once said; I feel like putting her in my pocket:D

Okay; that's all I've got for today and good news! I've actually bought my very own plaid shirt(: But I couldn't find a nice blue one, so I got a red one instead! I'll post a picture of it real soon!

Happy Weekend!

Dark, Dark, GORGEOUS Midnight Blue!

So I was doing a post on all the dull and sombre colors of Fall and it so happens that it was my dad's 47th birthday yesterday; I decided to pull out this new dress which I've got to celebrate in((: {Although the color and the celebrations were anything but dull!}

We went to the gorgeous SG Flyer where we get to see SG at night and though it was a little boring; the gorgeous lights all over the city made up for it((:

The lights from the Flyer and my outfit was totally matchy matchy!
(I apologize for the blurry picture!)

I was going for a bit of a classy look and thus I pair the silk and linen, midnight blue dress with my trusty, black silk mary janes!
I did not add any belts or necklaces because I didnt want to draw away the attention from the classic sihoulette (or maybe I'm just darned lazy for a fash blogger:S) Haha but just focus on the gorgeous dress eh?((: Although I did put on a string of gorgeous baubles bracelets=p



Another dark blue something which I'm lusting for would be these pretty, yet grungey blue plaid shirt! LC made her outfit look so casual chic and they are just! Going to be a staple in my closet! I just know it!

PS/ It's about time to invest in some gorgeous dark blue nail polish too!:D

"Recession Chic??"

For those of you who have been following the news closely; You would have found that the financial state of the world economies are in frenzy with the US going into a possible recession that would actually be worse than the Depression.

Thus, it is no surprise that sombre colors dominate the F/W 08' runways, way early in the beginning of this year; which even extends into Spring09'; Yes! Dull colors for Spring? Avant garde or just plain depressing?

Speaking of which; PLAIN DEPRESSING!

That was my first thought when I saw Jeslin in church today!

Nothing to do with her character! Rather, she was dressed in monochrome black with the exception of her gold headband but like I'd said, the color palette just reminds me so much of that found on the runways and I love love her preppy blazer which she's got for a steal from F21!



I love the crest; (which she's ripped out the accompanying silver chain!)
& the gorgeous silver, stainless steel buttons with engravings on it!

The monochrome dressing is supposed to be depressing but these tiny details just added so much cred to the outfit!

Anyway back to the Runway; I've got to stick out my neck and say that I'm really impressed with Lanvin's collection and especially Alber Elbaz's use of fabric and how he'd coaxed gorgeous ruffles and ribbons from them! And turn those gorgeous swath of fabrics and especially those in black; into a dress entirely inappropiate for a socialite whose investment banker beau is up to his wits' end at work!





But; if I were to pick another collection which had caught my eye; I would have to pick Balmain; I love those structured shoulders and those jeans are just! Fab! I would TOTALLY. NOT. wear these. But they are just so refreshing and I love how everything looks so grunge!



I'll just leave it till here today; AND! It's the start of a new school semester tomorrow! Wish me luck and I hope I can snap some pictures from campus soon(:

My Love At First Sight:D

So I was yakking away about some fabulous Hong Kong finds in the previous post; which my darling got me and HERE IT IS!

It has always been a bane with no H&M in Singapore and when I chanced upon this pair of laced up Oxford wedges on their website; It was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

Took a gamble with my shoe size and THEN; I was waiting anxiously for my baby~

Have been waiting for a fabulous chance to wear my babies and I happened to be flipping through Allure when I saw Gucci's gorgeous f/w 08 ads. The gypsy vibe was jumping off the page and I felt that this was one of the best Gucci ads in a long time!





I was so inspired that I began rummaging through my closet for this perfect floaty gypsy top which I got a couple of days ago and it matched Gucci's vibe wonderfully!






Though my outfit got a "nay" from my little brother ( tsk; what does HE know about clothes anyway LOL?!); I've got this secret smile on my face when I stepped into the car; ready to show off my fabulous Gucci inspired outfit and of course! My lovely new shoes:D

For All of You Who Adores HK!

Be sure to watch out for this space(: One of my darlings went home to Hong Kong, ROC for a visit and she's gotten me some pretty awesome stuff. And I mean; AWESOME:D:D

Will be doing a post on that pretty soon and in the meantime! Who else felt that Vanessa Willams looked amazing at the EMMY'S?!



Her shoulders looked amazing in that toga dress and the strokes on it were amazing!

In the sea of all the Hollywood types who are sticking out due to their dimishing dress sizes and escalating beauty fixes done to their bodies~

Vanessa is one woman who could be inspiration to all the girls out there to lead an active and healthy lifestyle!

Will More Vanessas Stand Up PLEASE!

Grease IS The WAY!

Have been busy the entire week with projects; YES in the hols): and with helping out my dad at his office~




Managed to catch Grease and I was absolutely hooked to the songs and the vibe of the whole musical! ONJ was the stunning girl next door and John Travolta's just the yummmiest High School Senior there can EVER be!





From what I've seen with the whole 50s vibe~ I'm seriously considering getting some pleather tights! Which is pretty much a bold move coming from me! BUT I love how little effort it will take with one fab pair; to jazz up your outfit! Although~ There is a very high possibility of looking like trailer trash with one wrong choice of clothing/ accessory.


Owell; I'm going shopping tomorrow and I'll let you guys know if I've managed to get one of my own!

Looking FABULOUS & FAR from trashy(:

Feathers on a Fedora

So sorry for my long absence, have been busy with my final week and THEN! the internet connection at home had been terrible!

Was out shopping when I saw this guy standing a few feet away from me; Because the train was approaching the station, I had no choice but to snap a picture of him on the sly~



Remember my previous post in which I was so fixated by feathers? His fedora was jazzed up by this bunch of feathers which remind me of a modern day Robin Hood.

I loved how he was wearing a woolly vest with a smart pair of bermudas and his slipper/shoe thing~ It was really unique and a fresh change from the usual casual friday look I see around(:

Alright that's all I have now(: Will continue to take more pictures of people from the streets! As for majority of you who are reading this; enjoy the start of the new school year!

XOXO;
