Outfit Post: Rat Race [Black Outfit Ideas]
posted by
Outfits


While we congratulated Dawn on being 21 just a few days ago, I’m feeling the dreariness of being an adult. Sometimes I wish I could just drop everything and be a traveling hippie (okay not really but you get the point), but alas I have responsibilities and commitments to fulfill so I’m going to stop whining for now and get back to whatever it is adults do.

This outfit has nothing to do with a rat race of course, I do like to take the opportunity to rant about life once in a while. If anyone objects to this, I think I will take my rants at some other location.

If anyone notices, I am actually wearing the nail polish from the Gareth Pugh x MAC collection. I’m not usually a fan of blue but the iridescent hue grows on me.

Fake Hermes galore on my arms. When will I be able to afford the real deal? :(

PS: omg Lenne and Venetia, do you remember how long ago these photos were taken? serious backlog is serious.

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Blazer: Topshop
  • Chiffon skirt: taobao
  • Shoes: Dsquared replica from taobao

Outfit Post: Brunch buddies [Black Outfit Ideas]

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

I have been as productive as Arissa has been unproductive – all in the name of procrastinating writing my essay for as long as possible. I am kind of dreading going back to London – how did time pass so fast anyway?! It feels like I have just been bumming around doing nothing, and suddenly I have to finish an essay and pack for school. I haven’t even eaten enough chicken rice yet.

Went out for brunch at Wild Honey with Fatiha of Heels & Wedges yesterday (thank you so much for the pictures! <3). I had left the bulk of my clothes behind in London so my outfits lean towards the basic. I’m happy to be wearing tall shoes again, though!

  • Blouse: H&M

Outfit Post: No light, no light [Black Outfit Ideas]
posted by
Outfits


The girls of Pixiekrane are over in London for a trip, and I took the opportunity to shamelessly invite myself to hang out with them one afternoon. If you are reading this: Thanks for putting up with me, and for the lovely pictures!

We met up in Holborn for lunch. I really like the area for some reason – you can easily head from there to soho for food, or to St. Paul’s for shopping. I much prefer this to the crush that is Oxford street 90% of the time.

The weather’s really starting to bite as we slowly edge out of autumn and into winter… Arissa gave me this cape when we met up in Paris, and I can’t stop wearing it! <3 It’s definitely not warm enough on its own, but it’s perfect when thrown over a leather jacket. Speaking of which, I’ve taken to abusing layering my clothes – I remember distinctly how my friend compared me to a cabbage when I was taking off my coat(s) indoors.

I like how unapologetically clunky these boots look. They are also really wide at the base, and remind me of hooves sometimes. Ultimate man-repeller boots.

Outfit breakdown:

  • Cape: m)phosis
  • Leather jacket (worn inside): All Saints
  • Cardigan (worn inside): All Saints
  • Skirt: m)phosis
  • Boots: Ann Demeulemeester
  • Accessories: Alexander McQueen

P.S. I will briefly be home in Singapore around mid December! I can’t wait to inhale all the food I’ve been craving since moving here. Chicken rice and nasi lemak! And 24hr McDelivery!

Outfit Post: Dawn in Paris [Black Outfit Ideas]

Featured, Outfits


For those who don’t follow us on twitter (it’s @monoxious by the way), Dawn and I met in Paris last weekend.

For us, it had always been meeting every week but that was before Dawn left for London. The last two months had been excruciatingly lonely for me.

I had to head to Paris for work and Dawn decided to come down and spend the weekend together. She wasn’t too fond of Paris previously and I had to change that. Paris is a beautiful city and we had so much fun walking around, taking pictures and eating.

These replica Theyskens Theory wedges were really painful to wear without stockings. I had decided to give it another chance with some new tights that I bought from ASOS. I could not resist the lace print. The fact that they end at the thighs make my legs look longer for some reason.

The weather was also remarkably kind to us. Dawn mentioned that the weather had hit single digit in London but we had a fair bit of sun while we were in Paris. It was nothing short of perfect. I carried around a light cape and it was all I needed.

Black outfit breakdown:

  • Dress with white trim: H&M
  • Sheer blouse with tie collar: H&M
  • Cape: m)phosis
  • Clutch bag: Alexander Wang replica from Taobao
  • Tights/Stockings: ASOS
  • Shoes: Theyskens Theory replica from Taobao
