Outfit Post: Sith Happens

Why is there a picture of an affrogato? No idea. It was something new at a cafe I go to every now and then. They need to change the coffee though, it’s too acidic and makes everything taste sour.

In case you are also wondering why I have a Darth Vader mask on, that’s cause these pictures were taken on May the Fourth aka Star Wars Day! (May the Fourth be with you, geddit geddit?) It was the one day in the year where I could wear this mask and feel relevant but honestly, Darth Vader is always relevant.

This reminds me of the time I was still playing SWTOR and there was a guild named “Sith Happens” and I would get a kick out of funny guild names. (Mine was Rogue Vogue Squadron. We pose…. a threat!)

In case this post isn’t obvious enough, I am absolutely obsessed with cropped tops and you know how things go down with Dawn and I; once we are obsessed with something, we end up buying multiples of it.

That is the story of how I ended up with two more cropped tops from ASOS.

The UNIF Garter Skirt had been lying in my closet for quite some time and I wasn’t able to find a nice cropped top to go with it but now that summer is approaching, there are more cropped tops available online! I love the corset details and the fan-shaped lacing reminds me so much of medical corsets. It’s a little hard to sit down cause there are some bonings in the front which gets in the way.

I am also sporting TEAL HAIR now! I never really thought teal was my colour but the green undertones from my last hair colour will give it a turquoise colour when the teal fades out!

In case why anyone is wondering WHY my hair isn’t frizzy and fried after all that colouring and bleaching, it’s all thanks to Hairloom’s O3 treatment ($95 for all hair-length!!!!). Prior to the treatment, my hair was tangled even at my length and it was hard to dry my hair properly for fear of breakage. The treatment really saved it and the effects are pretty long-lasting as well. They are giving away a free O3 hair treatment when you colour your hair with them from now until 30 June 2013!

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Skirt: UNIF Garter Skirt (sadly, out of stock everywhere now)
  • Cropped top with strappy cut out neck: ASOS
  • Shoes: Acne Atacoma
  • Hair by Hairloom

Most of the time, the fashion blogger is nothing without her photographer and I thank the universe for a boyfriend that loves me enough to oblige to braving the ridiculous midday sun just so that I can get some photos for the blog. Let’s not forget fellow fashion blogger, Venetia who is always up for squeezing in an outfit shoot whenever we go out.

That and my mum who agreed to alter this Zara top in record time just so that I can wear it out. I can’t believe it only exists in size S, it totally requires a size XS too.

I have also taken to putting on some lip colour with much coaxing from Dawn. I totally see her point about how some colour on the lips totally brightens up the face. I’m wearing some OCC Lip tar in “Stalker”, it looks much darker in the tube or maybe it’s just really bright out when I was wearing it.

Lust List: Zara Summer 2013 Collection
posted by
Fashion Review, Style Inspiration


Dear Zara, shut up and take my money.

Laid a trap for myself last Friday when I insisted on going to Zara while Venetia and I were out shopping. Now I want everything in that collection. zara summer 2013 picks

From the skirt shorts skorts to shoes, the Zara 2013 Summer collection is one of my favorite from them so far. If I could wear clothing from only one store this season, it would have to be Zara.

I walked out of the store pretty pleased about scoring that mini shopper bag (S$69.90) in black and a strappy bralette top(S$79.90)  in their campaign video which I can’t seem to find a picture anywhere else except for the picture that I tweeted on Friday. Now to find an occasion to wear them out and get some outfit shots soon!

It was Restaurant Week in Singapore last week and it was a great opportunity to head to some fancy restaurant to test out their menu. Along the way, I realised that the building matched my hair and decided to take some photos there. :D

The lattice design on this dress is so nice I had to get it and it makes a great statement LBD for a nice night out.

Monoxious Outfit post Gridlocked-4

On my way out, one of the waiters commented that my hair looks like Rainbow Paddle pop and I was like, “EXACTLY!!” I’m glad someone else thought of it this way and I really need to get a picture of me eating a Rainbow Paddle pop Ice cream before the colour fades.
