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

Ask me where I would feel most out of place in with this funky hair and I’d probably tell you that it would have to be the gym. Imagine me in my gym gear and running shorts on the elliptical machine. Most people find that sight puzzling and I don’t blame them.

On a side note,it’s been a week and my hair colour is still going strong! I don’t know what kind of hair dye Hairloom uses but the pink and lavender is still pretty vivid.

This weekend outfit was haphazardly shot. I practically dragged Venetia out of H&M while exclaiming that “THERE’S STILL DAYLIGHT.” This pair of Ann Demeulemeester shoes remain one of my most comfortable shoes and I couldn’t be happier to brave Orchard Road on a weekend with them.

Black outfit breakdown:

  • Blouse: H&M Divided
  • Skirt: H&M
  • Necklace: Lip Service (Japan)
  • Shoes: Ann Demeulemeester
  • Hat: Some random store in Paris
  • Hair sponsored by Hairloom

Howdy everyone! It’s been too long. I even missed out on WordPress v3.5 which allows me to insert all my uploaded photos at once. How backwards am I?

It’s only been 22 days into the New Year before I updated. I hope everyone forgives me. It’s been the norm that the New Year often spells new beginnings, changes and resolutions. Although I am thankful for my metabolism, there has been a decrease these days probably due to a change in job or simply age taking its toll on me (le sigh~) which prompted me to sign up at a local gym in hopes of being healthier. I have thus been transformed into a gym rat. *thunder roars*

Other than that, life has been pretty predictable and routine lately. So what has everyone else been up to?

I have an amazing backlog. This picture was taken when Dawn was still in Singapore at the NARS cosmetics launch. NARS was a great host that day, with its launch held at the Art Science Museum. I’ve been a huge fan of NARS since I first came across it in the US.

My apologies for not maintaining the blog well for the past 3 weeks, work has been keeping me really busy. I have newfound admiration for bloggers who are able to balance their blog with their work and this is something I have to work towards. For those that are reading this, thank you for sticking around. :)
