When it comes to life, everyone wants the maximum reward with the minimum output. Functional items are starting to make up more and more of my wardrobe as I seek to put together a practical get-up for school without compromising on style or comfort.

The m)phosis wedges I purchased yesterday is amazingly comfortable. Pair it with a maxi dress and throw on a statement necklace, and I am ready for school.

It’s always lovely when the weather decides to cooperate for once! I bought this Zara dress when I was still in London, but didn’t have a chance to wear it till recently. I should have worn it sooner because I can hardly squeeze into it now that I’ve gained so much weight from Singaporean food.

I love the lace details on the back! Unfortunately it makes choosing the right underwear a nightmare.

Venetia came over and bummed around with us that day. It was an awesome coincidence that she brought her Givenchy-inspired hat along! It’s ridiculous how polished she looks next to me.

My obsession with these shoes will never cease, this is easily marked by the fact that I bought two of them, although one pair died after serving me for 2 years. They are easily one of my top favorite and I rave about them every time I post an outfit post wearing them.

The chiffon overlay dress is a new piece from taobao which make me border on indecency and modesty whenever there’s a gust of wind. Which reminds me, how do you guys like my sad excuse of a GIF? I tried pretty hard to make it loop properly but it seems like I’ll need more practice.

  • Chiffon Dress: Taobao
  • Skirt: Schwing Schwing
  • Camisole: H&M
  • Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell for LF stores

I often wonder if it’s just girls who wear the clothes and accessories immediately after they bought it. I’m showcasing my spoils from the Fashion Blogger flea the day after. I’m quite late to blog this, I know but I’m really buzzing with excitement for the next one we are planning!

The dress is from Lucyd Acyd which I got from Venetia FOR A STEAL.  I had initially seen the white version being sold by Vanessa but was apprehensive cause it’s not black. The black version is my reward for patience! The barb wire leather bracelet (actually a necklace) was shamelessly declared mine kindly given to me as a free gift!

Incidentally, I’m wearing not just one but TWO of our DIYs out that day. I was complaining to Dawn and Jayden during lunch that the exposed side of my body is really cold from the body harness. I usually use the transparent clutch as a cover for my Wacom tablet to prevent scratches to the surface but it’s a great size for a lunch date.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Dress: Lucyd Acyd
  • Transparent ClutchDIY
  • Body Chain Harness: DIY
  • Shoes: taobao
  • Stockings: a gift from Dawn (from Hokkaido)

Attended the NARS launch at ArtScience Museum a few days back. It’s really great to see that Singapore is starting to have more and more museums! If only we have one for fashion or Natural History.

The day was brutally hot – notice how there isn’t even a single cloud in the sky. I kind of give a condescending snort whenever someone talks about how hot it is back in London. The weather here has made me thankful of my skin which tans easily but never burns.

This pair of Elizabeth & James wedges (c/o Shopbop) is seriously my most comfortable pair of heels. I can literally last the whole day in them without the slightest bit of discomfort.

I really like the detail on the side of this dress. Sometimes all you need is one thing to spice up the entire outfit.

P.S. You may have already noticed this in our previous posts, but for those who don’t: you can now mouse over some of our pictures for something extra.
Outfit Breakdown:

  • Jacket: Zara (conveniently borrowed off Arissa because I left mine at home)
  • Dress: m)phosis
  • Bag: Mulberry
  • Shoes: Elizabeth & James

Lastly, we wish all of you selemat hari raya aildilfitri! May you spend it joyfully with your loved ones.
