Vintage silk blouse

*
I'm holding back from posting as I have been busy preparing for Syawal. So this will be a very quick post before I resume spring cleaning the house. Anyway, we went to Geylang today but came back empty handed. On a brighter note, at least we were happy for we got full from all the street foods that we ate. That aside, today I wore a vintage silk blouse and my T-bar wedges which have been faithfully collecting dust in the past months. Tsk.

p/s: Be back this weekend. Thank you for visiting :)

pps: This makes me want to run to the hair salon and dye my hair.
UPDATE: Busy. Have yet to post new entry....

Happy 6th years anniversary hoNey

*
So it is me and my guy's 6th years anniversary today. Six years might seem like a long time but it actually isn't. It takes a lifetime to really know a person. Thus, each time that we meet up, I am always amazed at the new things I learn about him. That aside, today I decided to wear this gorgeous tiered dress that my mum got me. It has five layers which make it a pain to iron. But all the ironing was worthwhile for it is indeed a beautiful dress and perfect for such joyous occasion. To top it off, I wore it with my salmon lace jacket and clogs. And oh, thank you Emak for this and for all the love that you have showered me with :) And thank you hoNey for being there with me for those six years :) Sayang semuanya.

Asymmetrical shirt dress

*
So I guess wearing wedges on rainy days isn't such a good idea. Although those platforms help to lift you up so your feet wouldn't get wet, wearing them too often (and here I emphasize on the word often) will eventually lead to them giving way. Not one, but two of my platform wedges will never get to see daylight again. Such sadness. And as luck would have it, it rained again today. Not willing to take the risk, I thus decided to just go with flats and my asymmetric shirt dress. And oh, as shallow as this may sound, at least this gives me a reason to get new pair of wedges. Heh.

Drawing and sketches

*
Outfit entry aside, the other day my guy decided to sketch a picture of me. Those who are on my mukabuku would have seen this but I thought I would share it with the rest :) I don't know about you but I can certainly see myself in the sketch. Heh. And oh, since my guy has been really supportive of me, it's high time then that I do the same for him. So if you need graphic design, photography services or anything around the line, you could head here.

Back to black

*
So it is Friday the 13th today. According to some folklore, today is supposedly believed to be an unlucky day. Without even realizing it, I decided to go all black on the day of the most widespread superstition. Insinuation, urban legend and superstition aside, today was actually a fruitful day. I finally got around to doing things that I have been meaning to do. One of it would be to make my own clothes. Tsk. For starters, I am using the time that I have now to make a similar jersey maxi skirt. I have been wearing this a lot, thus I decided to make more of it. And since good things are meant to be shared, I will be taking orders for it :) Head over to Shop full-clothes for the details. Do support!

Five Stones Vintage

*

Utter the word vintage and you will get me beaming instantaneously. Local vintage store, Five Stones Vintage did just that. With the tag line, "Go green, wear vintage" you know I'm sold. And as if to add icing on the cake, the prices are pocket friendly. So what's not to love? Well here are my favourites:

Everything about this blue print skirt is so swank. It is both feminine and flirty. A pixelated print maxi in such bright highlighter colour. Now, who can resist that? And vertical stripes are ideal for petite people like yours truly.


The pastel plaid romper reminds me of my mum's pastel plaid dress. Such good old goodness. And a polka dot maxi? Oh yes please.


This perforated shoe takes the cake! Awhile back I blogged about this perforated shoe. A day later when I went online to purchase it, I was shocked that it was sold out. Such sadness. Thus, this wedges with thick platform got me swooning all over again. But as fate would have it, they are a size too big!

Jersey maxi skirt

*
Apart from being goofy, clumsy is my alternative middle name. Today I sprained my left ankle without even realizing it. It was only when I tried on my heels that I could feel the tugging. Needless to say, flat leather sandals was it for today. That aside, a few days ago, my mum was cleaning out her wardrobe and found this jersey maxi skirt. She then handed it over to me. Ecstatic beyond words, I started to play around with it, pairing it with blouses after blouses. Today, my initial plan was to wear it with this linen blouse tucked out. But since the skirt is a little loose, I thus needed a belt to prevent it from slipping. Heh. Hence, I went with this instead. A loose fitted top is always a savior.

p/s: Salam Ramadhan dan selamat menjalani ibadah puasa di bulan yang mulia ini.

Current Obsessions

So good, it makes me salivate. Heh.

Happy National Day

Happy 45th birthday Singapura! It is on this day that all of us synonymously feel proud to be called a Singaporean. And it is on this day that we will all wave our nation's flag and sing those beloved National Day theme songs of ours. One people, one nation, one Singapore. Majulah Singapura :)

Belt with pouch on the waist

Is it just me or do any of you have trouble logging in to blogger lately? Anyhow, if you are close to me, then you would know how much I loathe lugging around huge bags. While I do have tons of big bags, I very much prefer to carry a small across-the-body bag, a very tiny handbag or no bag at all. In fact, my guy's sister-in-law was shocked when she saw me carrying a puny handbag to school. Heh. I guess I am just one of those who can go out carrying an ATM card, my phone and some cash. Or if I were to bring along a camera, I would usually get my guy to stuff it in his pants' pockets :) Like today, I felt too lazy to carry anything and thus decided to slide my handphone's cover onto my vintage leather belt. Hear hear, I said slide. Not clip on like those used by our local uncles. Heh. And no, it is definitely not fanny pack-ish at all. In fact, it is really convenient.
