Just a few snippets from our Instagram to show you what we have been up to… Now that I am finally back in Singapore, things should swing back in gear pretty soon once I figure out how to dress for the weather!! First four pictures are Arissa’s (@minicloud on instagram), and the last 4 are mine (@propatriamori).

Ashamed to admit that we have abandoned the blog once again in favour of a bit of travelling! I came back from Paris last week, but things have been hectic as I rush to pack for home. I have almost forgotten how to dress for Summer already (this season is non-existant in the UK).

Here’s a couple of pictures taken whilst I was in Paris – didn’t get too shutter-happy this trip as I was more preoccupied with food and company!

Outfit breakdown:

  • Jacket: Zara
  • Top: ASOS
  • Skirt: Weekday
  • Scarf: Hermès
  • Shoes: Alexander McQueen
  • Bag: Balenciaga

For people who are unaware, Lady Gaga was in town last week for a concert which also explains the lime green tag that around my wrist. The queue was quite insane and I don’t think I could be as committed as the boy who got the monster key (first person at the mosh pit line gets the key y’all). I got a self-congratulatory number 85 and it’s shameful considering how I would consider myself “too old for this”. Famous last words anyone?

My shoes also decided to give up on me that faithful day. En route to the concert hall, I broke one of my left heel. I lost it when DJ Zedd was spinning pre-concert, my group was the only one cheering at the Legend of Zelda theme and I promptly broke the other heel. The rest of the concert was spent exercising my calves and being really grateful that my boyfriend is there to provide emotional and actual support.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Dress: The Scarlet Room
  • Faux leather shorts: m)phosis
  • Stockings: some stocking shop in Harajuku
  • Mirrored skeleton bracelets: Evol Heist
  • Shoes: Taobao
  • Leather thorn headband: DIY

Summer is upon us and it’s time to bust out the bralettes in anticipation for muggy weather ahead.

From Top left:

The Helmut Lang asymmetrical bra top from Shopbop was bought when I was in NYC and I’m really loving it. What are some of the things you’d wear during summer?

Headed to hampstead heath a while back to help a friend for her shoot, but I couldn’t resist badgering people to help snap a few pictures of me as well. The little window of sunshine we had has finally passed and we are back to the usual dreary, grey, and drizzly London skies.

I really don’t know how to dress myself in warm weather anymore. It seems that I have left all my summer clothes back in Singapore! Maybe that is why people always like to gripe about how Singaporeans don’t dress up – when the weather’s so hot, I can fully understand why the need to be fashionable becomes secondary.
