4) Why the obsession with black?
D: Because you can never go wrong with black. Well, you can, but at least you won’t look like an unfortunate lollipop.
A: You won’t get food stains on it. I’ve never really been good with colours, Black is always the new black.
5) What started your monochrome obsession?

17) What is the most versatile piece of clothing you own?
D: I do alot of mixing and layering, so it’s hard for me to say exactly which is the most versatile. Probably basic skirts and shorts to wear under long tops or by its own.

A: tank top, shorts and my trusty Birkenstocks.
20) What inspired you guys to start this blog?
A: If I really had to narrow it down, it was Camille of childhoodflames and Alix of thecherryblossom girl. Both are stylish girls in their own right. I enjoyed reading their blogs so much I scrolled all the way to their first post. I wanted to start a fashion blog of my own and I made Dawn jump in the ship with me. We’re really thankful for all the support. It’s been incredibly encouraging.
D: More like walk the plank.
21) Is your childhood dreams similar to what you are living now?
D: I am still alive and I suppose in a way I satisfy it. I’d like to think I am still not out of my childhood however.
A: If I could still do what I’m doing now without working, that would be ideal. LOL.
22) Do you both work in fashion?
D: I can’t say that I do, since I am still studying.
A: I wish. Oh wait, I have a fashion blog~!
23) What are some of your favorite musicians and authors?

A: I listen to loads of stuff. I think my taste in music is somewhat similar to Dawn’s. I like game soundtracks. My favorite composers are Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu. I’m not ashamed to say that I like J.K Rowling. I like my kiddy children books.
24) Seems like you guys travel a lot, which country do you spend most time in?
D: Home is still where the heart is – Singapore. Specifically my couch which is an entire kingdom in its own right.
A: Singapore, I’d like to think I spend the most time sleeping in my own bed.
25) How do you know if there is such a thing as putting together too much in terms of layering?
D: I feel that if you even have to consider if a piece is adding too much, take it off.
A: When it gets too hot, it’s time to take something off.
26) What is your favourite food?
D: I would need a toilet roll to list it all down. But Pizza and anything with bacon comes to mind. Mmmm.
A: Dawn likes processed meat. Pass me another toilet roll while you’re at it. I like Salmon sashimi with loads of wasabi and shoyu.
27) What do you think of the whole body con silhouette in dresses? Can it be wearable for daytime?
D: Definitely. There is a thin line between trendy and trampy when it comes to bodycon, so I think it looks best accessorized minimally.
A: I love bodycons. But keep them away from slutty shoes. If you’re too conscious, throw a boyfriend blazer or oversized cardigan on. I think it forms an excellent base for layering.
28) How do you both like your coffee?
D: With sugar and cream!
A: Ice-blended.
