Outfit Post: Mann gegen Mann [Black Outfits]
posted by
Outfits


We attended the opening night of our friend Jingna’s exhibition, Angel Dreams, a few days ago. The bulk of picture are still being processed by Arissa but here’s a little peek. I really love how whimsical and personal the wall of snapshots is. There is just some quality about physical photographs that differs from digital ones -  a wall plastered with polaroids and 5Rs just isn’t the same as photos on your facebook wall. All these pictures were printed with Canon’s Selphy printer and I find myself tempted to get one, except my cat would rip every single picture off the wall to line her litter box. That bitch.

I bought this fascinator when my friend Elsie brought me to an Accessorize store in Trocadero Square, Piccadilly Circus when I was in London a few months ago. Accessorize is nothing new in London, except this particular one is always on sale. Storewide. I am going to stop here to let that sink in.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Cardigan: H&M
  • Dress: Mango
  • Stockings: Miss Selfridge
  • Shoes: H&M Divided
  • Necklace: Claires
  • Fascinator: Accessorize

I just got back from Germany not too long ago and I shudder at the thought of weighing myself on the scale. When I pack on weight, all of it goes to my thighs and arms. I have got nothing against women with curves, but they have to be in the right places. I am so paranoid to wear shorts now because I am afraid that my cottage cheese thighs will jiggle tantalizingly at every passer-by. How very fetching.

Someone please buy me this to hide in? It seems warm and damp and all you need to do is to pass me a morsel or two every few days.

Exactly 50 points!

Anyway, we are ashamed to say that our birthday is already over but the both of us have been too bogged down with real-life matters to properly celebrate it online. We are extremely grateful for the support all of you have been showing us and we truly appreciate it. I am glad for other blogs and I am gonna let them finish, but Monoxious has the best readers of all time! Of all time! We have come a long way since we started with just 4 readers a day to what we are now, and I feel just like a proud mother watching this blog growing and evolving with time. Nursing instincts aside, we feel that it is only appropriate to thank all of you by bringing something new to the table each time we post. Without all of you reading, there wouldn’t be Monoxious at all.

Before this turns into a sappy thank-you speech, I would just like to say that there are many new and exciting changes that have already been set in motion. We value your inputs and opinions that we have been receiving in our comments section and especially our formspring, and have taken all of these into consideration with our upcoming plans! So if you wish to give Monoxious a birthday gift, please do not be afraid to give us feedback on this blog and also to tell us what you would like to see more of or new things for us to include here.

Love,

Arissa & Dawn

Outfit Post: Make me wanna die [Black Outfits]
posted by
Featured, Outfits


I know it’s getting kinda old to be taking photos at this same spot again. ;A;

I’m totally pimping my iPhone case and matching headphones which I spent HOURS sticking on Swarovski crystals. I get alot of compliments when I whip out my iPhone and most people just stare at it, amazed at how shiny it is. I call it a magpie syndrome.

I was very inspired by Taylor Momsen in her “Make me wanna die” video. I had my eyeliner and eyeshadow on very generously that day. And of course, garters and thigh-highs seem to be a staple in her look as well.

I’m really loving the body chain I got from H&M (I bought it recently, it should still be available but I found it to be a little too long and I had the length altered a little).

Black outfit breakdown:

  • Asymmetrical dress: m)phosis
  • Shorts: m)phosis
  • Body chain: H&M
  • Garters and socks: Calzedonia, London’s Westfield Mall
  • Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell
  • Ring: Forever 21
  • Accessories: Diva and m)phosis

Are  celebrity inspired outfits to your liking? Should we post more of these?

We’ll teach you how to make your own Ann Demeulemeester zipper headdress, and an accurate one at that down to the number of zippers and darts because we are -that- anal.

This DIY is a little more high-level than the rest that we have done so please read through every single line of instructions carefullly. I’m also assuming that people who attempt this have a basic knowledge of sewing (ie sewing darts and bias tape).
