I am a CLONE~!!!! *ashamed*

It is I who have succumbed to the temptation of white cotton maxi dresses after being bombarded with pictures of a street full of Japanese wearing them. I am indeed talking about the Summer Trends we’ve previously blogged about.

I bought this dress while shopping with Dawn in Bugis Village, one of the local haunts for really cheap clothes. There is this little shop called Cherie, which sells clothes reminding us of this Japanese brand called Liz Lisa. They are responsible for a lot of the Gyaru trends you see in Japan.

And here you see the Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag which hasn’t seen the light of the day for at least a year. It looks like the perfect summer bag to pair with this dress. Have I mentioned that the dress is so light and airy which makes it perfect for Singapore’s perpetually hot and humid climate?

And god knows how long I’ve wanted a white maxi dress after seeing Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet. Claire Danes looks absolutely angelic in that white Dolce & Gabbana dress during the masquerade. I simply love designer collaborations in movies. I really loved Jean-Paul Gaultier’s work for 5th Element as well.

Outfit Breakdown:

  • White Maxi Dress: Cherie (Bugis Village)
  • Shoes: Esperanza
  • Bag: Louis Vuitton

Any particular character in a movie that you would love to dress up as? I really love the outfits in Marie Antoinette too but they’re so impractical for daily wear. :(

Shoe shopping has been ridiculous. I think I clocked up 4 pairs of shoes in the last 2 weeks, with 3 of them bought in the same week. :<

I am pleased with this collection although may will agree that it is never enough. Narrowing it down to just one colour helps actually. Of course leeways will be given for awesome shoes like the YSL cage heels sticking out in that sea of black. It’s pretty impossible to see what’s what in there so I’m going to lay it out for you.

From bottom left to right:

  • Aldo wedges
  • Alexander Mcqueen Motorcycle jacket booties
  • Yves St Laurent Cage Heels
  • Stella McCartney mesh heel lookalike from Siren

middle Row

  • Jeffrey Campbell Madness boots (they are SO comfortable to wear)
  • Balmain lookalike from Anne Michelle
  • Aldo wedges (insane height)
  • Acne Atacoma booties

Top row

  • Random laced up boots.
  • Guess Maeve boots lookalike from Miss Selfridge
  • Ann Demeulemeester lookalikes from Jeffrey Campbell
  • Boots from Esperanza

Unfortunately (much to my mum’s dismay), these aren’t all of it. I just can’t seem to lug all those shoes out to take photos of them so this is like a capsule collection of my favorites. I don’t know how I can put in those thigh high boots which I bought from Zara into this picture either. So yes, my capsule shoes collection. I think everyone should have a shoe post now. I wanna see your collection~!!

Pardon the broken French.
I was in Paris 2 weeks ago and it snowed~!!!! *excitement* Well, it IS exciting for someone born and raised in the tropics, up till the point where my toes were freezing.
Sub-zero temperature is not funny. When will Spring arrive???

I found a small park where there were rabbit burrows and I spotted so many of them hopping around. They were so cute.

The unfortunate thing about winter is the sun sets wayyyy too early. There’s barely enough time to get good pictures. :< Sorry the pictures of my outfit are kinda dark. Note to self: Black doesn’t photograph well in snow. Exposure issues abound. :<

My colleague and I went out for dinner with his relative and it was pretty cool. I always like how the French can just strike up a conversation with strangers.

Then we braved the cold for the hourly lightup of the Eiffel Tower. It’s actually my first time seeing it Eiffel at night and despite the cold, I really enjoyed it.

Black outfit breakdown:

  • Jeans: Forever21
  • Cardigan: Forever 21
  • Leather Jacket: Pull & Bear
  • Scarf: m)phosis
  • Beret: m)phosis
  • Boots: Esperanza
  • Gloves: Lanvin

Sometimes I wish I was in the Maldives instead. I need a beach holiday. Where would you like to be right now?

Obviously I have been following in Dawn’s footsteps of naming posts under random music that pops up on my iTunes. And living on a healthy dosage of game/anime soundtrack, this is what it decided to bestow upon me.

I remember it was a particularly uninspiring day, with Dawn and I hanging at the rooftop like a bunch of hobos where I took one of my favorite pictures, Darkness of the Unknown. Unfortunately for us, the sky wasn’t nearly as dramatic and we just seemed to be overall out of brainjuice.

The first pic was an accidental shot by the way. Dawn was just snapping away while i moved around and it looked like something we could use. I’m upset to say that I didn’t manage to return the favor by getting any good photos of her on that day. :<

I had this skirt from Schwing Schwing (a local blogshop) for the longest time and it was modeled after the Maison Martin Margiela skirt made famous by Geraldine Saglio where she was shot and featured on JAK&JILL.

It was a tad painful to wear cause the zipper teeth would bite into my ass and thighs when I sit down. That, or my problem is the fat ass. :< But it’s still one of my favorite skirts to wear cause it looks good plus it’s really versatile. *sigh* The things we do in the name of fashion.

Black outfit breakdown:

  • Tank Top: m)phosis
  • Skirt: Schwing Schwing
  • Knitted Circle scarf: m)phosis
  • Shoes: Esperanza

What painful stuff have you been through in the name of fashion?
