After what is possibly the lengthiest winter in the history of recent memory, good weather has finally decided to grace us. I think I am getting too accustomed to the climate here though – it’s only 19℃ here and I am already sweating like Tyra Banks wearing a fat suit in July. May lord God and also Jesus save my soul when the height of summer actually arrives. I think I will be surviving on a steady diet of soda and ice cream.

I have noticed that I talk about the weather practically in every post. I can’t decide if I am turning British, or if the weather is truly the most interesting aspect of my appallingly boring life. Now that school’s out, all my days are spent watching marathons of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Why is there a picture of an affrogato? No idea. It was something new at a cafe I go to every now and then. They need to change the coffee though, it’s too acidic and makes everything taste sour.

In case you are also wondering why I have a Darth Vader mask on, that’s cause these pictures were taken on May the Fourth aka Star Wars Day! (May the Fourth be with you, geddit geddit?) It was the one day in the year where I could wear this mask and feel relevant but honestly, Darth Vader is always relevant.

This reminds me of the time I was still playing SWTOR and there was a guild named “Sith Happens” and I would get a kick out of funny guild names. (Mine was Rogue Vogue Squadron. We pose…. a threat!)

In case this post isn’t obvious enough, I am absolutely obsessed with cropped tops and you know how things go down with Dawn and I; once we are obsessed with something, we end up buying multiples of it.

That is the story of how I ended up with two more cropped tops from ASOS.

The UNIF Garter Skirt had been lying in my closet for quite some time and I wasn’t able to find a nice cropped top to go with it but now that summer is approaching, there are more cropped tops available online! I love the corset details and the fan-shaped lacing reminds me so much of medical corsets. It’s a little hard to sit down cause there are some bonings in the front which gets in the way.

I am also sporting TEAL HAIR now! I never really thought teal was my colour but the green undertones from my last hair colour will give it a turquoise colour when the teal fades out!

In case why anyone is wondering WHY my hair isn’t frizzy and fried after all that colouring and bleaching, it’s all thanks to Hairloom’s O3 treatment ($95 for all hair-length!!!!). Prior to the treatment, my hair was tangled even at my length and it was hard to dry my hair properly for fear of breakage. The treatment really saved it and the effects are pretty long-lasting as well. They are giving away a free O3 hair treatment when you colour your hair with them from now until 30 June 2013!

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Skirt: UNIF Garter Skirt (sadly, out of stock everywhere now)
  • Cropped top with strappy cut out neck: ASOS
  • Shoes: Acne Atacoma
  • Hair by Hairloom

Monoxious Outfit post Overthrown-1 small

Most of the time, the fashion blogger is nothing without her photographer and I thank the universe for a boyfriend that loves me enough to oblige to braving the ridiculous midday sun just so that I can get some photos for the blog. Let’s not forget fellow fashion blogger, Venetia who is always up for squeezing in an outfit shoot whenever we go out.

That and my mum who agreed to alter this Zara top in record time just so that I can wear it out. I can’t believe it only exists in size S, it totally requires a size XS too.

I have also taken to putting on some lip colour with much coaxing from Dawn. I totally see her point about how some colour on the lips totally brightens up the face. I’m wearing some OCC Lip tar in “Stalker”, it looks much darker in the tube or maybe it’s just really bright out when I was wearing it.

urban decay

I don’t think ‘shame’ suffices to describe how I feel upon discovering Leake St. a couple weeks back – it lies literally across the road from my apartment and I have been living here for nearly a whole year. It’s a disused road/tunnel that has since been transformed into an authorised graffiti area, and I am not exaggerating when I say that it is a constantly changing landscape: there is always someone spraying and painting, and a piece never stays on the wall for longer than a week before it’s covered over by something new. I do think it’s worth a visit if you are in London, especially with it being a 1 minute walk away from Westminster Abbey and the London Eye.

Plus this tunnel leads to an awesome Thai eatery so that gets it an A+ in my books.

Wearing NARS semi-matte lipstick in Transeurope Express – it’s a very flattering deep rose in real life, and the pictures make it slightly more saturated than they really are!
