InALandWhereTheSandIsWhite&TheSeaIsBlue

Pull & Bear top. DIY leopard print headband. Brother's leather weave belt. H&M shoes. Rings from Asos/F21.

Found this amazing maxi skirt couple of days back, what makes the skirt unbelievable is the amount of fabric on it and the ultra soft & light fabric completes the whole thing, giving it a romantic vintage vibe. Well, knowing me, I bought one too many, so if you are interested, drop me a mail at itsnotalwaysabouthaight@gmail.com.
I apologize for the lack of posts, I'm in over my head with work and pre-Chinese New Year preparation. Can't wait for things to finally get back to the norm.. I desperately needs some daily dose of fashion blogs! xxx

LittleBumpsDownTheRoad

American Apparel oversized mesh blouse. Asos bra. High-waisted denim skirt from Haji Lane- SG. Boater hat & shoes from Taiwan. Kiddie socks from Sox World. Vintage bolo tie. Rings from F21/Asos.

Just to be clear, although I am obviously obsessed with this lovable ugly bra, I do wash them after every wear and put them on as soon as they dry! I'm not gross!
Haha..
If there is a law against wearing too much mesh, I would have been found guilty on so many levels, that I'll be chained up and locked away for good, can't seem to get enough of this wonderful fabric! Also, I blame this bra for bringing out the meshiness(yes, I also shamelessly makes my own word) in me. Tomorrow I shall begin my spring cleaning, which I totally do not look forward to. ZzZzz! Which is also good in some ways like I'll be forced to clear out my old clothes( Maybe it's my cue to set up a blogshop?) to make room for the new! Think you'll be interested in thrifting some of my old stuff? Alright lovers, have a great weekend!xxx

P.S. Once again, huge thanks to Stylecaster for featuring me on their Top 10 of 2010 list.

Armor

Topshop mesh top. Pants from HK. Jeffrey Campbell Clinic. Vintage Bally belt. My current fave thing; Bra from Asos. Rings from Asos/ F21.

These are the very same pant I wore here. Well, I hiked it up and fastened it with a tiny belt, for the paperbag cinched waist. So, thanks to Asos.. I will be living in this ugly bra for a very long time, it's soft satin, with absolutely no support granny bra, how can you say no to that.. and it's the perfect undergarment for mesh pieces, atleast I think so. Finally, all my Asos parcels arrived and they are a tad too large for me. However to my surprise, the quality is pretty alright, so I happily skipped my way down to my reliable tailor and have everything altered to my size. Oh I can't wait to wear them!
Yesterday,I got into a "guys will never understand girls" discussion with my love, it started when I said I have nothing to wear for a friend's wedding, then he gave me a puzzled look and said "but you recently bought plenty of new clothes". Which is exactly the problem, I asked him if he have ever heard of the saying "less is more and more is always less if not none(imo)". So I proceed to explain myself, if someone has only a limited amount of clothing, they won't have to think of what to wear hence always having something to wear. It's because now I have so many new clothes which leads to not knowing which to wear first hence nothing to wear.. Get it?
Haha! I'm sure many of you ladies experienced it at some point in life! I ain't complaining cause having "nothing" to wear is definitely better! xxx

HowCrazyWasIToSayGoodbye

Very Old Topshop dress. Red leggings from random vendor in Spain. Topshop high heels. Asos Beaded tooth necklace connected to chain link necklace. Glasses from Taiwan. Rings from F21. Gold watch from HK.

Red and black. Simple tackiness that I like!
Well, I have always wanted to wear two necklaces back to front and I think this beaded tooth necklace does the job very well, will play with more beaded necklaces for mad stacked rosary effect. I know my hair's been looking pretty messed up lately, will try to tame that mane by smoothing them down. Is it working? Hahaha... Have a great day, lovers! xxx

Would have been the perfect studded ball clutch. Unfortunately this is just a Christmas ornament with an attitude.

CoffeeAndCigarettes

Dude and The Duchess top. Cotton On sequins blazer. Topshop shorts. Hat from Fourskin- SG. Topshop bow necklace worn as belt. Garter, socks & shoes from Taiwan. Necklace from SH worn as bracelets. Rings from SH/F21.

Redid an outfit post with this shorts cause I feel the previous post doesn't do it justice. They are also currently my favorite piece of fashion staple. But I'll try to not bore you guys with too much of it, like I did with my Litas! So how is everyone adjusting to normal mode after the long holidays? Personally, it feels great to finally begin my detox after this intoxicating week(okay, for me it's more like these couple of weeks)filled with fatty food and booze. Was good but gotta take a break before Chinese New Years! Gosh.. Is it just me or does everything feels so close by? Alright lovers, wish me luck with my detox! Will take a lot of determination to not end my day with an icy cold beer.. xxx
