Travelgram: Hokkaido, Japan.

Instagram is really like the fast food of travel photography. It is convenient, quick, and satisfying. It is by no means an adequate replacement for photos of course, but the little bites are easy to handle when you are on the go, not unlike a convenience store onigiri.

I got my iPhone literally hours before I was scheduled to leave for Japan – I think this haste is partially attributed to the beautiful photos Arissa took with hers whilst in Italy . And let’s be honest –  after being a BB user for over 2 years, I was ready to trash that brick.

Spent a week travelling around Hokkaido, Japan. While I love the tranquility of mountains and vast fields of the countryside, I found myself wishing for some of the big city bustle after a couple of days. Sapporo was a welcomed break with its busy nightlife and shopping!

Sorry for the lack of updates recently! Although I got back to Singapore a while ago, it has been a flurry of activities with me leaving for Japan shortly afterwards. And Diablo III possibly has something to do with the lack of productivity as well. Anyway, here are a few pictures Arissa took of me when we went for tea at Full House Cafe in Rendezvous Hotel!

I’ve allowed my hair to grow out whilst in London – I would have loved to keep it at this length, but unfortunately it became too dry and brittle and I had to trim off a good 4″ of it. :( This is why we can’t have nice things.

I’ve found that my solution to keeping cool this summer is sleeveless chiffon tops. Along with copious amounts of air conditioning.

Outfit Breakdown:

  • Top: Miss Selfridge
  • Skirt: All Saints
  • Socks: H&M
  • Platform wedges: Topshop ‘Lenny’
  • Bag: Mulberry

Just a few snippets from our Instagram to show you what we have been up to… Now that I am finally back in Singapore, things should swing back in gear pretty soon once I figure out how to dress for the weather!! First four pictures are Arissa’s (@minicloud on instagram), and the last 4 are mine (@propatriamori).

Stay cool this summer and check back on the blog soon x.

Ashamed to admit that we have abandoned the blog once again in favour of a bit of travelling! I came back from Paris last week, but things have been hectic as I rush to pack for home. I have almost forgotten how to dress for Summer already (this season is non-existant in the UK).

Here’s a couple of pictures taken whilst I was in Paris – didn’t get too shutter-happy this trip as I was more preoccupied with food and company!

Outfit breakdown:

  • Jacket: Zara
  • Top: ASOS
  • Skirt: Weekday
  • Scarf: Hermès
  • Shoes: Alexander McQueen
  • Bag: Balenciaga

Headed to hampstead heath a while back to help a friend for her shoot, but I couldn’t resist badgering people to help snap a few pictures of me as well. The little window of sunshine we had has finally passed and we are back to the usual dreary, grey, and drizzly London skies.

I really don’t know how to dress myself in warm weather anymore. It seems that I have left all my summer clothes back in Singapore! Maybe that is why people always like to gripe about how Singaporeans don’t dress up – when the weather’s so hot, I can fully understand why the need to be fashionable becomes secondary.
