I bought a new dress this week. This probably makes it my 5397269834th black outfit.

Don’t remind me how many variations of this dress I have in my wardrobe. This one has a longer hemline at the back which makes it awesome. Your argument is therefore invalid.

It’s been raining everyday for the past 2 weeks ( I think…) and it was so hard to catch the sun. When I saw that it was up and there were patches of blue I ran out immediately to have pictures taken instead of just having it at the same old place.
Alas, I have been tricked, I got an awesomely treacherous looking sky instead.

It wasn’t shortly after this picture was taken, a downpour was upon me. /gloom

I am loving this pair of thigh high boots and the gloves with pyramid stud details. Yes, I know it’s inappropriate for Singapore’s weather but a girl can play dressup can’t she? ; )

Black Outfit Breakdown:

  • Dress: m)phosis
  • Necklace: m)phosis
  • Thigh High Boots: Zara
  • Gloves with pyramid stud detail: Topshop

I haven’t been to Paris for the longest time. What luck to be visiting when the sun is still shining although it’s turning cold. It’s a great opportunity to layer up and play with textures and shape.

We’re bringing some Singaporean streetstyle into Paris here, it’s like taking a fishball from a bowl of hot soup and throwing it into a bowl of iced water, weird analogy I know.

I bought this dress with a strange scarf hanging about, I have no plans for it. It was just hanging around the general area of my luggage, so I threw it in.

Upon layering it with a simple long sleeved top, I find that the silhouette resembles the Complex Geometries A/w 2009 collection. Awesome.

And it’s the perfect opportunity to wear my the Zara thigh high boots which I bought some time back while shopping in London. I wish the thigh area would fit snugly though, it all crumply looking.

Thigh high boots are awesome even if they border on being somewhat of a footwear belonging to a hooker’s wardrobe. They’re sexy and they draw attention and this Fall, we’re seeing it all over the runway.

Here are some of my favorites:

These are classy and stylish looking thigh highs. I think they’d go with a variety of looks.

I absolutely love the garters that are holding them up. I am contemplating a DIY just to make some garters for my thigh high boots.

I would absolutely die for these. They fit on the models like a dream and straps wound around the entire leg, yes please~!!!!

These are some interesting looking ones with minimal detailing but the ruffle at the thigh area is much love.

These boots boggle my mind. I have no idea how they are contructed it just seems to go against the laws of nature but man… I want them so.

And catching on this thigh high boots trend, I scored myself a pair of awesome thigh high boots from Zara. Extremely unlikely as I was walking pass the Zara in Oxford Street, London. My eyes caught a pair of thigh high boots, dragged the store assistant outside, pointed at them and said : ” I would like these please.”

Next thing I know, I was in the queue paying for them. It’s absolutely crazy trying to attempt to wear them in Singapore. I look forward to Fall/Winter when I can fnally show them off~!!!
