I’ve been fixated with the idea of wearing bralettes as tops underneath a simple blazer or sheer blouses.. Granted they aren’t exactly weather appropriate for some parts of Europe right now since the weather is turning cold but they’re totally doable in Singapore.

I am a procrastinator. It seemed like ages ago that I was in Florence, Italy and when I checked the date the photographs were taken, it WAS indeed ages. I was in Milan sometime back and I decided it would be cool to take a few hours train ride to the beautiful city of Florence.


Standing in front of Santa Maria del Fiore makes me marvel at the beauty of Renaissance architecture. It’s truly one of the most beautiful churches I’ve ever seen.

The “Last Judgement” on the interior of the dome. It’s pretty disturbing when you view it up close.

Black Outfit breakdown:

  • Boyfriend Cardigan (literally) : H&M
  • Black Jeans: H&M
  • Camisole: H&M
  • Bag: Far east Plaza
  • Shoes: Some Ann Dem knockoff from Far East plaza too.

This marks the first of the many runway reviews to come for Spring Summer 2011. Is is after all, hunting fashion week season.

But before I start, I regret to inform you that we will not be reviewing Alexander Wang this season, all because he refused to use black. Yes, he has broken our hearts by doing that. Give us a season to mope about this.

We get down to business with Kimberly Ovitz.

Kimberly Ovitz presents to us this season a collection with very clean lines and geometric blocks. the silhouette is straight with nothing extremely complex. I’ve been lusting for a good shirt-dress since ages ago.

And what’s better than a draped jacket? A long draped jacket of course.

I have to say that I really love the shoes too. I’d probably describe them as slouchy looking hoofs for some reason.

A collection of pictures of what I’ve been up to lately…. which is in all honesty, pretty much nothing and everything. I felt like I haven’t even left my home in weeks, although that’s not really true. My days are filled with studying, books, cleaning, more studying, and even more cleaning. It doesn’t exactly leave time for fashion, unfortunately.

September has been a ridiculously hot month with huge, sudden downpours out of nowhere. Someone needs to prescribe the weather some Adderall.

And for some reason, ChouChou seems to like to sleep on my homework. I swear cats have an uncanny ability of knowing just what to do to annoy you.

What I’ve been reading when I slack off from what I’m supposed to do. It’s my second time reading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski and I absolutely love how it’s written. The typography is irregular and even reversed on some pages, so you have to turn the book around, sideways, upside down, diagonally and god knows what else to read it at some parts. It’s definitely a book you should never read in public unless you wish to appear crazy (then by all means, go ahead).

I can’t wait for some of my online shopping loots to arrive, then I will actually have something to post about. The wait is the most excruciating part of online shopping – I keep worrying if the package have been lost in transit!

And this is a day late, but congratulations to Marilyn and Eelysia, winners of the Tipsy Toes Giveaway round two! I’ve sent out an email to the both of you. On that note, please leave me a working email when you comment, everyone! I had to eliminate more than a few entries because some of you left me with no means of contact at all!

When I’m in a hotel room, I pretend it’s my apartment so that I don’t feel like I’m so far away from home. This hotel in Zürich is absolutely lovely, I’d love for my future apartment to have similar colour schemes.

Left to right: Mulberry Alexa-inspired bag, Country Road bag, H&M Envelope bag, necklace, mesh bralette from H&M, striped tank from H&M, scarf from H&M, sheer shirts in white and black, both from H&M, leather jacket with draped collar from All Saints, Maxi dress from Topshop.


Ann Demeulemeester inspired shoes from Far East Plaza and engineer boots from H&M.

Accessories from m)phosis, Diva and Urban Outfitters.

I’ve been looking for a decent sized envelope clutch for the longest time, I finally found it in H&M. Don’t ask me why I need 3 bags for a 2 day trip.
