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]

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.

The weekend in Paris came and gone in a breeze but it remains one of my favorite memories with Dawn. I’ve been to Paris a few times but mostly exploring the city on my own. It’s very different when you have someone close roam Paris with you. One of the biggest draw was to have all the awesome food that we ate.

Like all tourists do, we headed to the Eiffel Tower and snapped some pictures there. The weather was lovely and we had the most awesome lighting.

My replica Dsquared Nappa Spine heels did not break on me this time. Praise the travel gods!

The ASOS O-ring collar was sent to Dawn in time for her to pass to me while we were in Paris. It makes for a really nice statement piece.

Dawn and I were just talking the day before about finding the bridge (Pont de Bir-Hakeim) where the Ariadne’s dream scene was filmed in Inception. We didn’t really think much about it but chanced upon it when we were around the Eiffel Tower area. We’re really huge fans of Inception and it was just awesome being there.

Black Outfit breakdown

  • Jacket: Taobao
  • Pants with leather details: H&M
  • White draped vest: Far East Plaza
  • Camisole: H&M
  • Shoes: Replica Dsquared from Taobao

Outfit Post: The Day the World Went Away [Black Outfit Ideas]
posted by
Featured, Outfits


It’s bittersweet going through these pictures – they remind me of the lovely time I had with Arissa in Paris, but I can’t help moping over the fact that I wouldn’t see her again till Summer simultaneously. Paris is a beautiful city, but I believe it was made even more wonderful by simply being able to share the experience with her. There are times when you really wished that the world would stand still for just a while longer.

Part of Inception was filmed at Pont de Bir-Hakeim, and we were really excited when we came across it while strolling around the Eiffel tower. :D

Outfit Breakdown:

  • Cardigan: All Saints
  • Skirt: ASOS
  • Top and inner: H&M
  • Bag: Charles & Keith
  • Boots: D&G
  • Tights: Topshop
  • Accessories: Agnès B., Alexander McQueen
