This is really one of those times when words are inadequate to describe what is happening. It is chilling to see the death toll creeping higher by the hour, and I can’t even begin to imagine the helplessness of those whose friends and family remain missing. For those who believe in a higher power, please pray for the safety of everyone, and pray that the dead may rest in peace. Pray that families may be reunited and that the situation doesn’t get worse.

No one is above helping those in need. I am not yet able to find any call for donations or volunteers in Singapore but I will definitely be updating this space should I find any. If you are not in a position to help financially, there might be other ways such as donating blood or plasma. I can only ask everyone to give freely what they can, and we will be doing the same.

Yes, it is finally time for spring again! Although we do not have distinct seasons in our country, our wardrobes can well afford a splash of colour to welcome the forthcoming season. Spring has always been a time for light fabrics, soft silhouettes and bright colours – and with Reebonz’s help, all of you can stand a chance to have your very own fashionable spring wardrobe!

We are excited to announce Reebonz’s Spring Clean Blogger Contest.What better way is there to usher in this season with bright arm candies?  In this contest, you can stand a chance to win bags from Tod’s, Balenciaga, Kate Spade, Prada, Marc Jacobs and MBMJ! These bags in bright candy shades will spruce up any outfit. To win any of these bags, you simply have to create 1-3 spring coordinates around any one of the six bags below ↓↓

This is how you can win these coveted bags

  • Pick any bag that you like, and create 1-3 spring coordinates featuring the bag. Anything goes! You can draw your outfits or take photographs of it.
  • On your blog, explain why you think the particular bag is a spring essential.
  • Submit your blog entries by leaving a comment on Reebonz’s blog post
  • Email Reebonz (contest(at)reebonz.com) your blog entry.

And that’s all you have to do to win! I am not joking when I say the prizes are hella attractive.

If your coordinate is chosen as the winner by one of the judges, you stand to win that very bag yourself!! So there will be SIX winners, each walking home with the bag they want.

But that isn’t all. The best coordinate of the six will win an additional $500 CASH prize and 500 Reebonz credits. That is a lot of money on top of a designer bag! And if you are one of the six lucky winners who have thousands of facebook friends, you can also win $250 CASH and 250 Reebonz credits on top of your bag by getting your friends to vote for you on the contest’s Facebook page!

Owning  a designer bag has never been this easy, so join now! This contest ends 2359 hr February 17 2011 so please don’t dawdle!

I have personally chosen to build my outfits around the fuschia Balenciaga Giant Chic box bag. I have always loved Balenciaga bags for they are classic and timeless. Punk elements are also one of the prevailing trend in Spring/Summer 2011, and this fuschia bag adorned with the signature polished silvertone hardware will certainly bring an edge to every outfit! Not to mention the buttery soft lambskin, ahh… Balenciaga bags have attained the ‘IT’ status, and it’s truly well deserved!

Coordinate No. 1


I created a feminine look, partially inspired by Jill Stuart’s and Chanel’s choice of stark accented blacks and whites for this S/S 11. With a monochromatic outfit, all the attention will be drawn to the bright fuschia of the bag. To prevent the outfit from looking too “flat”, I chose sheer tights to create a little depth and texture.

Coordinate No. 2


This is a fun and casual coordinate I would wear for shopping. White, tan and nude are one of the more popular colours this spring season, so I paired a sheer knitted sweater with a soft nude dress. I was inspired by the soft billowing skirts of Lanvin’s spring collection for this look. The bunny ear headband and the Balenciaga bag adds a playful twist to this outfit.

Coordinate No.3

When one think of spring, florals and pastels come to mind. However, Balmain and Ann Demeulemeester’s runway looks are full of punk elements and asymmetrical cuts this spring. Draped biker jacket, sock garters and cat eye sunglasses – the only thing missing is a kickass bag.

So join NOW and put on your best spring coordinates for a chance to win these bags and cash prizes!

Hello there!

As you might have noticed, monoxious went from looking dark and ominous to bright and minimalistic. We went live last night with the help of our excellent, dedicated and efficient developer. He’s an absolute joy to work with and serves to remind us of our inefficiency and how big a procrastinator we really are.

Speaking of inefficiency, my days mostly revolved around playing PocketFrogs on my iPad where I like to do nothing but grind levels, watch Big Bang Theory and Community and be a horrible lazy bummer. On days where I do dress up to go out, we’d conveniently forget to take outfit shots. *shifty eyes*

I’m not sure if anyone else feels this but the appearance of the blog highly affects my productivity. Dawn and I were so relieved when the new layout went live last night. We’ve been working on it for months, trying to tweak the little details. It’s not perfect, but in our opinion a far cry from our previous one which we found to be a little oppressive.

We have many plans in store in the next few weeks so stay tuned! And we’d like to thank you for your continuous support. Hope you enjoy the new layout too!

I do apologize on my half-assed posts as of late… I just had my wisdom teeth extracted, and between rolling around in agony and basking in self-pity, it doesn’t really leave to take pictures and write a post. My face has ballooned up to three times its original size and I just really don’t want to face life the world any more. So here’s a couple pictures of the new(ish) things I’ve purchased!

My boyfriend got this really cute cat-eared ring for me from F21. I was pleasantly surprised because it’s seriously the cutest thing ever!


And a McQueen-inspired bag from Far East Plaza. I actually double-guessed getting this bag the first time I saw it, and ended up returning the very next day to buy it. Far East Plaza is laid out so horribly and with my bad sense of direction, I was surprised it wasn’t sold out before I finally found the store.
