Outfit Post: Babel [Black Outfit Ideas]

I have been as productive as Arissa has been unproductive – all in the name of procrastinating writing my essay for as long as possible. I am kind of dreading going back to London – how did time pass so fast anyway?! It feels like I have just been bumming around doing nothing, and suddenly I have to finish an essay and pack for school. I haven’t even eaten enough chicken rice yet.

Went out for brunch at Wild Honey with Fatiha of Heels & Wedges yesterday (thank you so much for the pictures! <3). I had left the bulk of my clothes behind in London so my outfits lean towards the basic. I’m happy to be wearing tall shoes again, though!

Outfit breakdown:

  • Blouse: H&M
  • Skirt: m)phosis
  • Inner: H&M
  • Shoes: Aldo

Fashion Inspiration: The Colour of Night

It has been a while since we have featured editorials on this blog, but once in a while we stumble upon one that just sweeps us off our feet. I came across an editorial aptly named The Color of Night while doing my usual rounds on the Internet and I just loved every single look. Not surprisingly, it’s styled by the flawless fashion goddess Kate Lanphear.

More pictures available on Elle.com. I’ve never really paid much attention at all before to Emporio Armani, but these pictures have definitely put the label on my radar.

I hope it’s not terribly gauche of me to post pictures of gifts I’ve received over the holiday season, but they are just too pretty not to photograph!! I don’t celebrate Christmas, so these are actually early birthday gifts from my friends and family ♥.

I have no idea that it was customary to give jewellery for someone’s 21st! I am absolutely in love with the Tiffany necklace Arissa got me. Thanks so much bb!! ;__;

My other friends got me the Agnès B. key and ribbon necklace. You might have noticed that I have worn it for a while already, because I received it before I left for school! The ring is a gift from my mom, and it’s just really great that every jewellery I wear now has a story behind them. :)

With the Bvlgari perfume I bought for myself as a Christmas gift…Honestly, I am just finding whatever excuses I can to buy stuff. I’m terrible.

I’m finally back in Singapore! It feels amazing to relax and do absolutely nothing after a mad rush to meet submission deadlines. Regardless, here’s a big happy Holidays to everyone! :) I did not bring much back with me seeing that I will be returning to school in a couple weeks’ time. I was really supposed to be saving space in my luggage for food, but I can’t help but indulge in a little retail therapy!

I bought these Zara leather and suede wedges in London – I did a price comparison with some of their items recently, and the markup in Singapore is really ridiculous.

Envelope clutch from Far East Plaza. So very late to the trend, but I foresee that it will come in useful when I run out for a short lesson or a quick meal. It’s the perfect size for storing an iPad as well.

How is everyone celebrating this festive season? I will probably be holed up writing an essay, but here’s to hoping that you have something much more interesting lined up.

Travelogue [New York City]: Life in stillness

Featured, Personal, Style Inspiration


Harsh winter days are spent burrowing myself in the sheets with the laptop to keep the tummy warm. There was also a revelation that radiators are good surfaces for taking photos as illustrated by the Gareth Pugh x MAC post.

Besides makeup, I ended up taking photos of the shoes I brought along for the trip and some photos of bags, jackets and accessories.

Seems like the shoes were arranged in order of comfort. I kid, the dsquared reps are actually more comfortable than the Theyskens Theory reps.

My buttery soft lambskin bag is one of the lightest bags I own, it’s useful cause I tend to bring too much stuff out and despite that, it won’t give me much of a shoulder ache. I’ve had bags that are heavy on its own and I tend not to bring them out too often.

A clear favorite, my Datya leather jacket from All Saints. Kept me warm for a few winters now.

This H&M jacket is also one of my favorite to wear. It’s so smart-looking and I’m glad I got Dawn to buy it for me in London.

Pretty glad it was a productive day despite choosing to stay in.
