Outfit Post: The last story [Black Outfit Ideas]

Met up with Dawn 2 weekends ago in Amsterdam and decided to be really brave and bring these new McQueen knockoffs from taobao out for a spin. They were bought a few months ago and I would really love to include the link here but it seems that it has already been taken off since the sellers are moving into Spring/summer wear right now. I’ve gotten so many compliments that day and even had a salesgirl from Bobbi Brown telling me how much she needed them in her life.

The lighting wasn’t great due to the gloomy weather but it did manage to produce some hauntingly eerie effect in some photos.

And for obvious reasons, that is why they have windmills in Netherlands. My complex geometries vest was flapping all over the place. It was hard to keep a straight face while the hood isn’t staying where it’s supposed to be.

It’s also the last time I’ll be travelling for a while. I haven’t been able to find anyone who shares the same aesthetics as much as Dawn does and it’s really sad that I won’t be seeing her for a while.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Pants: H&M
  • Leather Jacket (worn inside): All Saints Datya Jacket
  • Vest: Complex Geometries A/W 2010
  • Gloves: Lanvin
  • Leather Tote bag: Taobao
  • McQueen replica boots: Taobao

Travelogue [New York City]: Life in stillness

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.

It was a rainy day, we were pretty much stuck indoors with loads of people. Singapore is really crowded for a place that’s so small.

The mesh-panelled leggings were a lucky find in Seoul, I was on a legging high and bought 3 from the same shop in Dong Dae Mun. Paired with my favorite shoes at the moment, the architectural wedges I bought in February.

Haven’t had much chance to wear this H&M corset belt cause it hardly matches anything I have.

Black outfit Breakdown:

  • Camisole: H&M
  • Sheer shirt dress: Alexander Wang
  • Leggings: Bought from aPm in Dong Dae Mun, Seoul
  • Shoes: Esperanza from Tokyo
  • Corset Belt: H&M
  • Bag: My Room Far East Plaza, Singapore

Hello everyone, I guess Dawn’s been holding the fort while I slack off. I just came back from a beach vacation in Phuket and got promptly sunburnt. Previously unknown to me, sunburns can cause swollen skin. So here I am, blogging away in bed feeling sorry for myself while I feel like a swollen blob of… swollen blob. Sunblock people, put on your sunblock.

I got this bag about 3 weeks(?) ago, I’ve been using it ever since. The purse clasp-like opening makes it really convenient and easy to take stuff in and out of the bag. Also, the leather feels like the Coco Duffel from Alexander Wang, which makes it an even bigger draw. This bag reminds me of a certain bag but I can’t put my finger on it, if anyone’s got any information it will be really helpful. I got it from a shop called “My Room” in Far East Plaza for about S$200(?), unfortunately, the stuff they carry are usually in limited pieces and this was the only bag I saw in the store. If anyone’s interested in hunting for unique pieces and treasures, you should check out that store regularly.

This notebook is from the Passions series from Moleskine, I guess if you read our blog regularly, you might already know that I am a huge Moleskine fan. This is one more for the collection and I really hope the bag and lifestyle collection will be out soon.

Coffee~!!! One of our guilty pleasures. At times, it’s a sine qua non when we head out to blog or do blog-related activities. I’m having the Iced Mocha villa from The Coffee Club. Ice cream mmmm…
