The bulk of picture are still being processed by Arissa but here’s a little peek. I really love how whimsical and personal the wall of snapshots is. There is just some quality about physical photographs that differs from digital ones -  a wall plastered with polaroids and 5Rs just isn’t the same as photos on your facebook wall. All these pictures were printed with Canon’s Selphy printer and I find myself tempted to get one, except my cat would rip every single picture off the wall to line her litter box. That bitch.

I bought this fascinator when my friend Elsie brought me to an Accessorize store in Trocadero Square, Piccadilly Circus when I was in London a few months ago. Accessorize is nothing new in London, except this particular one is always on sale. Storewide. I am going to stop here to let that sink in.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Cardigan: H&M
  • Dress: Mango
  • Stockings: Miss Selfridge
  • Shoes: H&M Divided
  • Necklace: Claires
  • Fascinator: Accessorize

I just got back from Germany not too long ago and I shudder at the thought of weighing myself on the scale. When I pack on weight, all of it goes to my thighs and arms. I have got nothing against women with curves, but they have to be in the right places. I am so paranoid to wear shorts now because I am afraid that my cottage cheese thighs will jiggle tantalizingly at every passer-by. How very fetching.

Someone please buy me this to hide in? It seems warm and damp and all you need to do is to pass me a morsel or two every few days.

[Black Outfits] http://www.monoxious.com/outfit-post-here-is-gone/ http://www.monoxious.com/outfit-post-here-is-gone/#comments Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:30:52 +0000 Dawn http://monoxious.com/?p=1533 Somewhere between my last post and now, I have hauled my ass to Germany and am having regression sessions in the snow. I find myself missing warmer climates suddenly, for I can actually wear nice clothes and show it off, instead of bundling everything up under a coat.




I swear I did not photoshop my face in this picture within an inch of its life. Snow acted as a giant reflector and turned me into a cheesy mall goth wannabe.

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~!!

Nope, this post has nothing to do with Rick Owen’s drkshdw line.

I just got the Junction dress (okay it was some time ago) from the Complex Geometries A/W 2009 line and I realised I haven’t taken any pictures of it.

Have I mentioned that I love clothes that can be worn in different ways? I love how the dress makes me confused which arm goes into which hole but I guess that’s the purpose of it.

The cape-like back allows for an awesome drape when I loop both arms in it.
I cldn’t resist playing around with it.
