I am a CLONE~!!!! *ashamed*

It is I who have succumbed to the temptation of white cotton maxi dresses after being bombarded with pictures of a street full of Japanese wearing them. I am indeed talking about the Summer Trends we’ve previously blogged about.

I bought this dress while shopping with Dawn in Bugis Village, one of the local haunts for really cheap clothes. There is this little shop called Cherie, which sells clothes reminding us of this Japanese brand called Liz Lisa. They are responsible for a lot of the Gyaru trends you see in Japan.

And here you see the Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag which hasn’t seen the light of the day for at least a year. It looks like the perfect summer bag to pair with this dress. Have I mentioned that the dress is so light and airy which makes it perfect for Singapore’s perpetually hot and humid climate?

And god knows how long I’ve wanted a white maxi dress after seeing Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet. Claire Danes looks absolutely angelic in that white Dolce & Gabbana dress during the masquerade. I simply love designer collaborations in movies. I really loved Jean-Paul Gaultier’s work for 5th Element as well.

Outfit Breakdown:

  • White Maxi Dress: Cherie (Bugis Village)
  • Shoes: Esperanza
  • Bag: Louis Vuitton

Any particular character in a movie that you would love to dress up as? I really love the outfits in Marie Antoinette too but they’re so impractical for daily wear. :(

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.

I have a love hate relationship with online shopping. You can get almost anything you want off the net and it’s great that online stores offer international shipping, but that’s also the problem. I’ve been doing too much shopping online, seeing as to the places I’ve been going to are not so exciting. Shopbop and ASOS has my monies.

Then, I came across this sweater from Nasty Gal.

It reminded a whole lot of the Topshop sweater from the A/W 2008 collection that Effy Stonem (Kaya Scodelario) was wearing in one of the episodes in Skins Season 3.

An unfortunate looking screencap was all I could muster. I’m sorry Effy, you deserve better.
But I redeem myself by finding the stock photo from Topshop. Not exactly the same as the one from Nasty Gal but similar. I can deal with it.

There were still smaller sizes when I bought it but there’s only M and L now.
Happy shopping everyone!

I was attending a course today and it required me to be in a more or less formal outfit. I wouldn’t say this is “formal” per se but I managed to scrape through the day without any reprimanding so I guess we’re all okay.

I am in love with these shoes as usual. I get alot of compliments with them. Currently massively in love with putting on lots of hardware on the neck as you can see here.

My watch was from New York’s MoMa Design store.

The tank top actually comes with attached chains but I threw on more chain necklaces.
