There has been a flurry of fun events over the past month and Jo and I are so sorry for temporarily abandoning the blog for books. we’d like to try maintain decent CAPs and GPAs. hahas.

So really, thanks for being such troopers and checking back!

Anyway. Shunji Matsuo held a cosy and intimate affair at Goodwood Park Hotel’s Marie Suite, premiering his 2010 collection. More on that later. This is what I wore:

Cream with plum checks Scarf from Burberry
Peach embellished Tank from i-xclusive
Grey cotton jersey Top with long sash from Robinsons
Black diagonal cut Pants from Abyzz by Desmond Yang
Cream cut out Sandals and mustard paneled Bag from Charles and Keith
Necklace from mom
Bracelets from Heeren, Canada and Perth



Bling

Before hitting the books hard on Monday, attended a friend’s 21st birthday celebrations where we were all also celebrating the last day of school (and finishing my module assignment early!)

After dinner and before arriving at Double-O, we were all given glow-in-the-dark bracelets. The ones you buy in packs of 50 and only about 10 actually work well.

Usually, I wear them (good and not-so-good) in this random jumble… But this time, they were arranged in gradient. I quite like it! hahas

blingSo totally random, but don’t you like my temporary bling?!

Had to make up for my blah outfit that night. (:



If you saw me yesterday…

If you saw me in school yesterday…

Other than the fact that my Charles and Keith bag strap spoiled, forcing me to carry it as a tote although I am certain the short handles make my bag heavier :/

And other than the fact that its week 13 (aka last week of school!!!yay!) and my friends could tell I was noticeably happier (:

Well, so other than these things, if you saw me yesterday…

Picture 060

I was in jeans!

Ok.

So it might not be a big deal to everyone. But it was for me! Hahas. (: I don’t usually wear jeans. Haven’t worn this pair in 3 years. but HAD to wear them for a school presentation.

We had coordinated outfits for the presentation yo!.

I’m thinking of having the length altered so I don’t sweep the floor as I walk and make the fit more straight-cut versus flare and also considering trying some DIY bleaching.

My school term is nearly up!! (;
But it means that exams approach :/

will this work ever end? ):

Yes, it was ten past six when we shot these pictures. It was a longgggg day at school before that! These pictures are actually our own interpretations of Puma’s new Create Your Style campaign.

Well, um, our pictures did turn out quite different from the originals. We kinda got carried away with the drawing. I think we took a whole half an hour? Haha. Kinda silly actually, cos you can’t see the tremendous effort we put into cross-hatching and creating patterns zomg.

Check out the other people who were involved in this campaign remix on Puma’s facebook fan page, and look out for their new store in in 313 Somerset, come December 2009!

December sounds a really long time away, but hello it’s only only only 23 days away! Okay time for Christmas now.

Entrenched in the Past

I was looking through some old photographs and dug up these photos of a shoot I did with my friend, Steph.

pinkie'sphotos-6

Taken in the central business district on a Sunday morning. Raffles Place was very quiet, which all worked out since Steph needed the backgrounds to be un-busy. That was the fundamental criteria that her professor demanded for this photo series assignment.

These were taken pre-Wottoncool days, early early in 2008, and the strongest memory was that out of the blue (sky) it rained!

IMG_4409There! Proof! hahas. (:

The weather was very erratic that day and we kept praying that the heavens wouldn’t open up repeatedly and get in the way of shooting. Cos even when the weather was better, the sun would frequently hide behind the clouds and affect the light. (I don’t know how to describe it in photography lingo, so I shan’t try)

And, it you can’t already tell, there was no budget for the shoot. I was the model + helper + stylist + wardrobe. Steph doubled as creative director + makeup artist + hair stylist + photographer + wardrobe.

In this shoot, I’m wearing

Black dress – Steph’s
Khaki Trenchcoat – G2000, which I should wear more!
Sunglasses – Armani
Watch – Casio
Red embossed Wallet – Catherine Manuell
Black Slingbacks – (i can’t remember which) fleamarket

Outfit photo!

Realise I haven’t posted an outfit photo in awhile.

This was at a celebration dinner held in school. It was a closure for events organized over summer. The school even gave out certificates to thank us for our participation.

And the food was AWESOME!!! (:

Metallic silver tank – nicholas
Multi-coloured wrap pants – from Thailand
Chain Necklace – from mom

The pants are really comfortable but long, so walking up the stairs I have to be careful not to trip :/ hahas

 



Distraction Attraction

As project deadlines, presentations and examinations loom closer and closer, I find myself becoming more easily distracted. And as a third-year business student, I find myself losing steam and facing increasing difficulty drawing strength and motivation from whatever high powers to stop procrastinating and getting my work done. hahas!

For a larger part of these past 2 months, after reading ‘The Starbucks Experience’, I’ve become brainwashed and willing to spend up to $7 on a cup of coffee.

Picture 001

And yet reluctant to spend $4 on a proper meal. wth? right?!

Also, ONLINE SHOPPING!! who can forget that?!

Picture 009

Add i-xclusive to your list of online shops.

I got this Peach Crystal Racerback Tank cos I’ve been looking for something (else) to match my Zambesi alibaba pants which you can see here!

Their wares are sourced from the nearby region and not only do they sell to normal people like you and me. They also do wholesale business, selling to other online shops.

Cut out the middleman! Buy direct from the source!!! hahas.

I like how their stuff is basic but with a twist. Not as commercial and mass market as some other online stores, but still with its own appeal.

Mai dong xi, he dong xi!

(Buy something, Drink something!)

 



7inches of LOVE

Last I measured (which was quite some time ago) my height was a decent 171cm. Slightly above average, there isn’t much need (for both vertically and practicality’s sake) to be wearing heels.

But that has never stopped my love and appreciation for beautiful shoes, especially the high-heeled sorts… It’s either 3inches and above or nothing. Painful as it may potentially be, I really love the arch created and how it elongates.

Friends sometimes ask how I can walk in 4-inch heels the whole day. And why I’d subject myself to such pain and torture and inconvenience (balancing on the bus in 4-inch heels, with bulky bag and laptop in hand is a skill yo!)

But as if 4 inch heels aren’t scary enough.

Meet Burberry’s AW09 Shoes

According to Burberry, these shoes have a towering 18cm heel! Can you imagine being almost 20cm taller?! WOAH! Crazily insane but pure LOVE. Pure 7inches of LOVE!

Burberry AW09 Braided Platform Sandals

There is something very understated yet lustable about this leather strap detailing, wood platform and rubber sole combination. Fierce and feminine and yet not over-the-top blinged out.

And usually, when I think of wedge platforms, my first point of recall is the images of scarring ah-lian footwear – wedge platform foam slippers.*shudders*

On contrary however, I’m really digging these suede wedge ankle boots. Understated cool. I’d wear these in a heartbeat!

And if finances permitted (which is so totally NOT going to happen), this is how I’d  wear it.

October rundown

October has been a running month.

10323_171969491467_151672691467_3834598_1961984_n

The first two weekends were spent at Bukit Gombak stadium for IVP (Institute-Varsity-Polytechnic) Track and Field Competition. My events were in 400m and 200m. Little training. No experience. Scariest 30-40seconds of my life!

Then, yesterday morning I jumped out of bed at the unearthly hour of 6.15am. I had set my alarm for 5.30am and obviously did not hear it. hahas

Thank you Edwin for the wakeup call.

And this unearthly waking was for the Nike Human Race.
