confess. Usually when I walk into Urban Outfitters, I zoom straight to the toy camera section, lust over them, pick up an item or 2 and head straight for the cashier. Sometimes, the headphones section distracts me for a little bit but that rounds up how I shop at Urban Outfitters.

While I was in SoHo, New York last week, I ventured into an Urban Outfitters store (the sale sign was much too tempting to resist) and decided I have enough toy cameras (7 to be exact) and went on to look at clothes instead.

Everything that I pulled off from the racks that I decided I liked was from Silence & noise. Pure coincidence?

I think not.

So i decided to walk around until I found the sale rack on the second floor and scored myself 2 items (not inclusive of a top I liked from the first floor which wasn’t on sale) which I gleefully tried on in the fitting room.

The Cowlneck tunic is awesome. There can be no other words to describe it. The light, see-through material is perfect for summer and anything with hoods (or something which doesn’t look like it has a hood but it does!!!) is awesome. That’s the word, AWESOME. Black would be even awesome-r except they didn’t carry it in that store. I swear I would buy it in a blink of an eye if I were to come across it in any other stores.

I’m into the whole shorts and skirt things these days. This ultra short tunic is sexy without being too trashy. It cost me only US$19.99 at the store despite it being listed as US$24.99 on the website. I would envision myself wearing a bunch of chains on the neck along with my engineer boots and lace stockings.

This is how it looks like worn [ here ]

This vest hoodie stumped me. On one hand, I am holding in my hands another top which has somewhat of a hood and on the other hand, it was US$9.99. I still wasn’t convinced on how good it’ll look even when I tired it on. Then the genius in me decided to put my head through the excessively large armhole (either that, or I have a small head). Lo’ and behold, it’s a new top, who cares if the hood is hanging around like a partially severed chicken’s head right now?

Guess what? It’s cheaper to buy clothes than cameras. More reasons to shop at Urban Outfitters now.

Nothing much, it was a pretty lazy day and I simply threw stuff on to go out.

We went out shopping in Shinjuku, Tokyo. They actually shut down the roads. It’s pretty surreal, seeing people walk carelessly on the road. Somewhat like… zombies in a post-apocalyptic movie or something.

The weather was getting hotter by the day. I wanted something I could move about in as there was serious shopping to be done.

Just like most people, I have a few regrets in my life. Not studying as seriously as I should have for a major exam. Hanging on to the lowlife of an ex and not breaking up sooner.

My chief regret, however, is not buying anything at All Saints when I had the chance to.

With prices ranging from £50 to £300, it is definitely not a place that’s too friendly to a starving student’s wallet (i.e. me). Thinking back though, I’d have gladly given up my firstborn child to own this dress:

Kitty Shirt Dress, £90


And if I were to die anytime soon, I have left a will with Arissa explicitly stating that I am to be buried in this very dress:

byrony

Bryony Hitch Dress, £160


Mildly gothic, but not overtly so, all the bustles, pinktucks and silhouettes have definitely struck a right cord with me. Prices be damned, I am determined to get my paws on one of their dresses the next time I pop over to the UK. A few months’ worth of lunch is a small price to pay for these babies.

I was in Tokyo during Golden week this year.

The weather was awesome and perfect for layering unlike the humid weather we usually get back home in Singapore. I have been obsessed with pairing the engineer boots with everything cause they’re so comfortable and versatile.

It seems like everyone and their dog owns a pair of harem pants these days. Singaporean label, M)phosis seems to stock up a fair bit of them coupled with extremely wearable basics.

Jersey is awesome. It stretches and contours, it drapes and folds.
If I had only one type of fabric to work with for an entire collection, it would be jersey.

But the people at Complex Geometries beat me to it.

Scrolling through their Autumn/Winter collection makes me feel like the models are modern day Jedi knights. I love how some of the scarves and belts look like they are carelessly draped but in fact, has much thought and intent when being designed.

The colours or the lack there of for the collection of course, is pure genius. Screw colour Nazis. I like my clothes black. I need to buy myself some more of these jersey goodness.
