Outfit Post: Glow [Black Outfit Ideas]

Some clothes need to come with instructional booklets. This Ann Demeulemeester vest been in my possession since 2009 but I still have no idea how to wear it the way the designer intended it to be worn. I just throw it up, let it land on me and tie the strings together. True story.

The goal of the day was to channel some Ann.D with the asymmetrical skirt (circa s/s 2010) and Ann.D lookalike sandal boots from Jeffrey Campbell which is still one of my favorite pair of shoes to date. This pair is in fact my second pair (yes, I bought 2 of the same pair of shoes) cause I wore the first one to death. Let’s hope this pair will last me a couple more years.

I have to admit I was feeling pretty great about the outfit until I saw the photos, I think looked really stumpy. I also hope no one thought I was trying to pull a Jolie that day. Higher heels should fix the stumpy leg problem I hope. My boyfriend has also done me a great favor by keeping my face out of focus, he seems to reallllllly like my Helmut Lang top and necklace (I see what you did there.)

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Asymmetrical Bra top: Helmut Lang
  • Draped Vest: Ann Demeulemeester
  • Asymmetrical skirt: Taobao
  • Ann Demeulemeester replica shoes: Jeffrey Campbell for LF stores

Sometimes I give myself a pat on the back for having some すばらしい skills at Photoshop. This horrible swollen eye will go unnoticed if I didn’t mention it. That being said, I’m sure at least 20 people are will be scrutinising my picture now.

This lovely organza top is bought by Conan (who will be lovingly known as Coco from now on) when he was sourcing for clothes for a photoshoot. I bought it from him after the shoot. :D

The Icon watch that I bought from MoMA is a replacement for my old one which died (dead pixel geddit geddit?). It’s one of those watches that I don’t mind replacing, the design is simple and worth keeping around.

My lovely shoes modelled with my pageant stance to show how they look like from both the front and side.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Shirt: Uniqlo
  • Organza Top: H&M
  • Jeans: H&M
  • Watch: MoMa design store
  • Shoes: Taobao

Rule No. 1: Never underestimate Scandinavian weather. It was incredibly warm in London, and I was completely caught off-guard by how cold it still was in Denmark when I visited in late March. It was incredibly windy to boot, and the only coat I packed was hopeless at keeping me warm.

Copenhagen is still a beautiful city regardless, and I would really love to go back there again!! This particular outfit isn’t exactly inspiring, but I have more important matters on my mind such as actually keeping my butt from freezing. 

Got these boots for just 250DKK at Monki – I really do love shopping there! I really do wish that Cheap Monday / Weekday can be found in more places.

Outfit Breakdown:

  • Trench coat: Zara
  • Bag: Taobao
  • Sunglasses: ASOS
  • Boots: Monki
All pictures taken by Christina - do visit her fashion blog!

Anyway, as a final note I’d just like to add that I am finally done with the bulk of my assignments for this semester. It is almost unbelievable that I’ve been here in London for almost an entire academic year already! I will be trying to make up for the long hiatus, and thank you so much for continuing to read this blog!

Outfit Post: Too Fancy [Black Outfit Ideas]

Singapore can be pretty uninspiring at times, while I endeavor to take photos at nice spots, it can be really hard to keep other people out of the picture, take for example the nice family frolicking in the sun at the bottom right of the picture.

Outfit posts calls for wearing stuff that I just bought. In a true hyperbole and a half style, I shall “wear ALL the new things”.

The metal collar tipped blouse feels like it’s all the rage now. I personally found the one from Zara a little expensive and the collar tips a little too small. I like the size of the tips on the blouse that I have on. The shopping tote in Jil Sander style fits much more than it looks, being lightweight is a plus as I tend to carry a lot of things when I’m out.

These Simone Rocha knockoffs are the darling of my recent taobao haul. I haven’t gotten pictures of the haul but I decided to wear them out first. I love how they make people look twice. From far, it really looks like I am tiptoeing.

My hair has also faded into an unknown shade. It was a really really nice greyish brown but everything faded while I was in New York where I didn’t have the opportunity to take any photos of myself. Someone tried to insult my hair colour on Formspring saying that I look like a boy, I thought this fact has already been established when I tweeted my pre-dye bleached hair. Anyway, I desperately need a haircut and a new hair colour.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

We’ve been receiving questions on emails on how to shop on Taobao. Please note that we have written a helpful tutorial on how to shop there. You may wish to check it out.

Contrary to the post title, I haven’t been feeling well at all lately, hence explaining my absence from the online world in general. I am not going to bore you with details since this is not a personal blog, but as the song goes: It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life - and while I’m not feeling good, I’m going to fake it till I make it etc.

These pictures were taken ages ago but I’ve finally gotten around to posting them.

All the pictures are taken by Caroline, thank you so much!!

Outfit breakdown:

  • Blouse: ASOS
  • Skirt: H&M
  • Trench: Zara
  • Shoes: Alexander McQueen
  • Necklace: Tiffany & Co
