Day 2 of our trip to Amsterdam.

Love how heels elongate your legs so much. It’s just too bad that they can be rather uncomfortable.

Also managed to score this pair of Camilla Skovgaards on massive discount! Sometimes, I think shoe shopping is so much better here because our feet tend to be slightly smaller than the average sizes here. Size 37 is almost always one of the first sizes to go in Singapore.

The lighting was so good in the hotel room that I couldn’t resist a bout of self-indulgent camwhoring! I don’t think a lot of people know that I wear glasses, but I’m practically blind without them.

Outfit breakdown:

  • Trench coat: Zara
  • Skirt: All Saints
  • Scarf: m)phosis
  • Socks / Stockings: Primark
  • Shoes: Camilla Skovgaard
  • Bag: Mulberry

If anything, I would wanna be known as the friend who has the most awesome shoes. New to the collection is a pair of shoes that was a lucky find in Amsterdam while I was out shopping with Dawn.

We chanced upon their winter sale season (which is really late considering how London usually has theirs in January) and there, these pair of shoes were, tucked right at the far right corner. Hovering above it was a neon pink sign which said “70% off”. My hands picked up these seemingly normal pair of booties until I felt some cold metal at the base.

It took me a few seconds to register it and when I did, I showed it to Dawn and there was probably some squealing involved. You know one of those things that helps you decide if you should seal the deal immediately?

The magic combination is usually “They’re the last pair.” and “It’s in my size!!!!!”

You know what happens next.

I love shoes that boggles people’s mind.

I got these Jeffrey Campbell Nightwalks when they had first came up. One thing to bear in mind, if that initial release is popular, you can count on the fact that JC will release at least 6 other shoes with the same shoe last but in different designs/fabrics. I lost count of the Nightwalk variations that they had released.

These are a pair of my older shoes but was never featured. The Topshop Wisteria. Extremely comfortable pair of shoes I would actually be okay partying in them.

Which are your favorite shoes at the moment?

*omake (oh-mah-kay) : おまけ or extra.

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

Visited Amsterdam with Arissa last week. I’m so glad to be able to explore such a beautiful city with her. We were sort of disappointed that the weather was rather uncooperative, being the tail end of winter and all that. But the overcast condition actually produced some good pictures. I’m so going to miss Arissa taking pictures of me, because frankly I don’t think anyone else can top her when it comes to that!

I have been looking for a blouse like this forever, and I’m glad I managed to snag one at Zara. Zara has really stepped up their game lately, and it’s always a struggle not to spend too much money when I walk into a store.

Outfit breakdown:

  • Trench coat: Zara
  • Blouse with collar tips: Zara
  • Harness: AudraJean on Etsy
  • Skirt: All Saints
  • Shoes: Ann Demeulemeester
  • Bag: Mulberry

I wasn’t actually planning on taking outfit pictures that day, but I chanced into a classmate and I had my camera with me, so I thought why not? (Yes, I sometimes happen to carry a bulky DSLR with me…) This outfit is slightly boring, but it is an accurate picture as to what I wear on a day to day basis. It’s hard to get creative when you are just going to throw a coat over everything, anyway.

This trusty coat was a gift from my mum, and it was been with me for 2 winters already! Got to love basics that never goes out of vogue.

  • Fur scarf: taobao
  • Coat: Mango
  • Bag: Charles & Keith
  • Boots: Dolce & Gabbana
  • Socks / Tights: ASOS

I’ve already started to shop for spring. Can’t wait for the weather to get warmer so I can wear my spring items out!
