Outfit Post: Hidden in snow [Black Outfit Ideas]
posted by
Outfits


New post from the SWTOR addict. I remember having a “bad face day” so I request Dawn not to take any of my photos with my face in it. Am I the only one that gets that?

The top is from the H&M x Girl with dragon tattoo collection. I only just got to post this when the world has gotten over the hype about it. There’s no much backlog for me to clear.

The bag is from Proenza Schouler and I fancied it when it first came out but held back buying it cause of the price but when I saw it on sale it Barney’s I had to get it. I don’t think the bag is very durable though, the thin layer of plastic that covers the leather to give it that “paper” feel seem to be slowly giving way. :/

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Top: H&M Girl with dragon tattoo collection
  • Inner camisole: Uniqlo
  • Leather shorts: H&M
  • Boots: H&M
  • Leather bracelet: H&M Girl with dragon tattoo collection
  • Bag: Proenza Schouler Shopping tote

Makeup Tutorial: Everyday makeup for school
posted by
Personal


I am by no means a beauty blogger, but I love slapping on makeup so I figured that I’d share how I do my everyday look. This is my (almost) everyday makeup, which I feel is versatile enough for most occasions! I will list the products used at the end of the tutorial. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any!

(Also, I can’t believe I am putting up a makeup-less picture here. I’m not even going to bother whining about how horrible I look to fish for compliments… Just admire my dark circles and lack of eyebrows, everyone.)

I like to define my eyebags because I feel that it softens my look somehow…also, if you can’t hide them, might as well use them to your advantage :P

Eyes: Urban Decay Naked Palette in Sin (1 + 4), Half-Baked (5), Smog (2 + 3), and Dark Horse (6+7) ✕ Maybelline mascara ✕ Etude House eyebrow pencil ✕ Heavy Rotation eyeliner.
Face: Maybelline BB cream as base ✕ Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation ✕ NARS Orgasm blush
Contour: Sleek Makeup contour kit in Light
Lips: Chanel Rouge Orage

I’m also wearing Acuvue Define Dailies in natural shine!

Outfit Post: Andro-uniform [Black Outfit Ideas]

Featured, Outfits


Apparently I look convincing as a man so I’m really succeeding at this whole androgynous thing. A crisp white shirt is a staple in anyone’s wardrobe, I found this in the Uniqlo’s global flagship store in NYC as I was trying to look for something to buy from the +J collection. Unfortunately I did not bag anything from the +J collection but bought lots of heat tech stuff and a staple white shirt instead. Now add in some anti-wrinkle technology and it would be perfect.

Silver collar necklace is a cheap find from H&M. I love how affordable their accessories are.

I love my recent taobao/Peeka loot which included these garter stockings and the replica Alexander Wang Kristen satchel. It’s pretty decently made as opposed to the other stuff I saw on taobao which are all PU leather.

Barely survived the day with these Theyskens Theory replica. Dawn was on the receiving end of my grumpiness and I ended up buying a new pair of shoes which regrettably made my feet hurt too.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Blazer:  Zara
  • White shirt: Uniqlo
  • Black leatherette skirt:  The Scarlet room
  • Stockings: taobao
  • Bag: Alexander Wang Kristen satchel replica from taobao
  • Shoes: Theyskens Theory replica from taobao
  • Neck collar: H&M

I wonder if anyone would be interested in a white shirt series. Anyone? Anyone?

Outfit Post: Brunch buddies [Black Outfit Ideas]
posted by
Featured, Outfits


It’s been a long while since I posted anything with my face on it. I blame SWTOR (in case any non-geeks wonder, it’s the new MMORPG called Star Wars: The Old Republic), I’ve been spending too much time on it and I never thought I’d be one of those addicted to an online game.

These pictures were taken a while back, where my boyfriend and I relished the concept of having brunch one fine day. I’m usually not a morning person but I entertained the idea anyway. The food was pretty okay and we had a seat in the “greenhouse” area.

A little greenery is a welcoming sight since we’re surrounded by concrete most of the time.

Le boyfriend was being preppy that day.

I was in a fairly androgynous getup if you discount the good cleavage day. Wearing flat shoes out is so liberating and comfortable.

These shoes are from a local label called Depression, extremely comfortable with removable straps so you can just slip them on on lazy days, otherwise the straps go around your ankles, I seriously think they should have a high heeled version of this.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Camisole: Cotton On
  • Blazer: Topshop
  • Pants: H&M
  • Shoes: Depression
  • Envelope clutch: H&M
  • Collar: ASOS
  • Accessories: m)phosis, taobao

Travelogue [New York City]: Life in stillness
posted by
Featured, Personal, Style Inspiration


Harsh winter days are spent burrowing myself in the sheets with the laptop to keep the tummy warm. There was also a revelation that radiators are good surfaces for taking photos as illustrated by the Gareth Pugh x MAC post.

Besides makeup, I ended up taking photos of the shoes I brought along for the trip and some photos of bags, jackets and accessories.

Seems like the shoes were arranged in order of comfort. I kid, the dsquared reps are actually more comfortable than the Theyskens Theory reps.

My buttery soft lambskin bag is one of the lightest bags I own, it’s useful cause I tend to bring too much stuff out and despite that, it won’t give me much of a shoulder ache. I’ve had bags that are heavy on its own and I tend not to bring them out too often.

A clear favorite, my Datya leather jacket from All Saints. Kept me warm for a few winters now.

This H&M jacket is also one of my favorite to wear. It’s so smart-looking and I’m glad I got Dawn to buy it for me in London.

Pretty glad it was a productive day despite choosing to stay in.
