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!)

Monoxious Outfit post Overthrown-1 small

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.

Outfit Post: Urban Decay

urban decay

I don’t think ‘shame’ suffices to describe how I feel upon discovering Leake St. a couple weeks back – it lies literally across the road from my apartment and I have been living here for nearly a whole year. It’s a disused road/tunnel that has since been transformed into an authorised graffiti area, and I am not exaggerating when I say that it is a constantly changing landscape: there is always someone spraying and painting, and a piece never stays on the wall for longer than a week before it’s covered over by something new. I do think it’s worth a visit if you are in London, especially with it being a 1 minute walk away from Westminster Abbey and the London Eye.

Plus this tunnel leads to an awesome Thai eatery so that gets it an A+ in my books.

Wearing NARS semi-matte lipstick in Transeurope Express – it’s a very flattering deep rose in real life, and the pictures make it slightly more saturated than they really are!

Monoxious Outfit post Gridlocked-1

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.

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.

Outfit Post: See the Red

It’s ridiculous how the weather in London teases you – one week it seems like we are finally seeing the arrival of Spring, and the next, it is as if we have moved up to the same latitude as Iceland. If anyone reading this is more in tune with the weather gods than I am, please pass on the message that this PMS-like fluctuation is really not an okay thing to do.

These pictures were taken on one of those rare warmer days – this week has seen a return to more siberian conditions, and it is just impossible to head anywhere without a warm coat.

I’ve found a new love for plummy lips with Burberry’s Lip Velvet in 308! The colour is so vibrant with just a single coat and it applies evenly despite me having the most chapped lips ever.

This Zara clutch reminds me of the Jil Sander lunch bags we did a DIY on. It comes with magnetic clasps at the top so you can also carry it with the shoulder straps!
