Outfit Post: Babel [Black Outfit Ideas]

I have been as productive as Arissa has been unproductive – all in the name of procrastinating writing my essay for as long as possible. I am kind of dreading going back to London – how did time pass so fast anyway?! It feels like I have just been bumming around doing nothing, and suddenly I have to finish an essay and pack for school. I haven’t even eaten enough chicken rice yet.

Went out for brunch at Wild Honey with Fatiha of Heels & Wedges yesterday (thank you so much for the pictures! <3). I had left the bulk of my clothes behind in London so my outfits lean towards the basic. I’m happy to be wearing tall shoes again, though!

Outfit breakdown:

  • Blouse: H&M
  • Skirt: m)phosis
  • Inner: H&M

It’s never an easy decision to choose which shoes to bring with you when you are on a trip. It’s almost like choosing which child of yours to abandon. /melodrama

I think it is especially hard when you are leaving home for a long period of time – you’ve got to consider footwear for every occasion, as well as take the weather into account. I wish shoes weren’t so heavy so I could bring every pair with me.

Here are the “finalists”: shoes which I think are both comfortable and functional, and most importantly, shoes I will wear often. Nothing worse than wasting luggage space on a pair of shoes you may only wear once.

The boots.

Clockwise from top: H&M Engineer booties. Exceeding comfortable and practical. Doc Marts lookalikes from Bugis Street. They don’t look like much, but they are a godsent when there is lots of snow around. Ann Demeuleemester wedge boots. One of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own, and I can wear them for slightly dressier occasions.  Dolce & Gabbana lace up boots (loot from the Club 21 accessory sale!). They seem awesome for cooler weather, and I can wear them when I don’t want to appear too sloppy.

The shoes

L-R: Yves Saint Laurent trooper pumps. Because it’s absolutely necessary for you to pack at least one pair of shoes for formal occasions. And who knows when you might need it for themed parties? Aldo pumps: I am still waffling about bringing this pair. I might swap it for more “everyday” shoes instead. Vvestiges balenciaga inspired wedges. Purchased from the lovely Venetia! Part of me rather doubt the practicality of open toed sandals in where I’ll be heading, but they look too good worn to be passed up. My toes will just have to be wet and freeze. Aldo wedges. I am unsure about this because they are open-toed as well, but at least I can wear these with socks!

Recent Purchases: Killer Heels
posted by
Personal


I hardly ever wear pumps, but these were so gorgeous and on discount… My mind is weak against temptation. Plus, pumps are something every girl should have in their closet, right?

I love how these are slightly different from your plain old pumps. The way it curves up at the back creates a really elegant arch when worn!

These definitely fall under the “killer heels” category for me. I have no doubt it can easily cause injury (to myself and to others!)

What are your staple shoes?

Rain, rain, go away
And stop giving me a bad hair day

It’s the monsoon season again! It is really great weather for layering, but most of the time it just makes me want to stay home in some kind of a sluggish coma. This was what I wore when I finally willed myself to crawl out of home a few days ago. Black and nude is my favourite colour combination, and I just love how this dress flows. When I swish it around, the shape sort of reminds me of something organic like jellyfishes or seaweed. But then again, I may just have been watching too much nat geo.

Rain and light coloured garments really don’t mix, though. By the time I reached home, this dress was already stained with mysterious substance in at least 10 varying shades.

Outfit Post: Animus Vox [Black Outfits]

Hark! A post! I am truly sorry for neglecting the blog till now. I have been living the life of a recluse, refusing to socialize until my friends lured me out with the promise of food. We went to Little Part I, a quaint little cafe located right in the heart of Thomson. Jingna first introduced me to this place and their irish beef stew is really delicious!

My outfit of the day consists of a draped cardigan and wedges, both of which are birthday gifts from my friends. :D The wedges are really comfortable!

Outfit Breakdown:

  • Cardigan: Birthday gift
  • Draped top (worn inside): Forever 21
  • Skirt: Sonia Rykiel for H&M
  • Shoes: Aldo (also a gift)
  • Bag: M)phosis

Now for some food pictures and random snaps. Now, I am not a narcissistic jerkface who only takes pictures of herself (although if you were to say that, I am not exactly going to deny the allegations) I am just not sure if my friends are comfortable with me posting their pictures here.

As the name may suggest, Little Pt 1 is a book cafe. There are all kinds of books for you to browse, from Lonely Planet travel guides to crime fiction. They welcome all used books that you do not want as well. We found a book that teaches you Japanese! Here’s a very dry paragraph talking about the industrialization of the Japanese economy after WWII.

Someone’s coffee. Trust me when I say that the majority of us are nocturnal creatures, and that 11 was way too early for us to meet.

Curried french fries. A little spicy, a little bitter, and completely delicious.

The walls are plastered with mementos from the owners’ travels and experiences. There were concert tickets to Muse, pictures taken in what I think is Melbourne, Europe, and even a map and a few pictures of Alcatraz. I really wish to go there one day!

Randomly, while walking along Orchard Road, I have noticed that the new and first H&M store in Singapore is already under construction!
