Outfit Post: Tokyo Ninja [Black Outfits]

Been long since we had a decent outfit post trying to feature Singapore Streetstyle. I blame it on the lack of inspiration. : (
As usual, there’s an extensive amount of traveling due to work (do not want!!!)  but luckily I ended up in Tokyo before the New Year.
It’s a little chilly but I love the [...]

Travelogue: Melbourne Blogger Meetup

OHAI there~!! It’s been long since I last blogged. It’s always a mad rush before Christmas, shopping for gifts and basking in the mood. This post comes about a week too late since I was in Melbourne 2 weekends ago. It feels like we haven’t met in so long but it was in actual fact [...]

Trend Report: Sock it up

I don’t know about you, but I love it when fashion completely turns everyone’s expectations over and, in the words of Tim Gunn, “make it work”.
I am sure that every girl have been warned at any given point in their lives to never wear open-toed sandals with stockings. It was an image permeated by unfortunate [...]

DIY Fashion Tutorial: Tom Binns Safety Pin Necklace

I was inspired by this picture while browsing a local fashion magazine. Tom Binns’ jewellery is so sought after, even Anna Wintour wants her hands on one. We’re no different but alas, I only have money for some chains, diamante necklace and bunch of safety pins which is just what we need for this tutorial~!!!

SK-II Tea Party

Both of us at Monoxious were invited by Nuffnang to partake in a little tea party courtesy of SK-II yesterday. I must admit that Arissa and I are not prudent to say the least when it comes to skincare, and the experience has certainly opened up our eyes a little.

It was a pleasure chatting to [...]

Runway Review: Alexander Wang Prefall 2010

I have to admit, Alexander Wang’s Prefall 2010 collection isn’t one that makes me run around screaming in ecstasy, declaring my undying love for him.
I’m not saying that I didn’t like it, instead I take a look at my existing wardrobe and think of all the wonderful looks I could create to mimic this collection. [...]

Outfit Post: Caged soul, ripped hearts [Black Outfits]

My post titles all sound so cliche and morbid. I’m seriously out of ideas. I wonder if it’ll come to a day where we just have dates as our titles. That would be kinda sad I think.

I failed to mention that there is a sweet replica of the cage dress from Alexander Wang’s S/S 2008 [...]

Maurie & Eve Black Motorcycle Boot: Balenciaga Harness boots lookalike

Woah, following Sam Edelman’s Balenciaga knockoff of the Harness boots, I think despite drawing inspirations from the same pair of boots, this one actually looks nice and isn’t as blatant.
It looks really comfortable.
Go grab yours from OAK right now. They’re USD324 a pop though.

Outfit Post: Away from the Sun [Black Outfits]

Why, yes, that is indeed grey you see right here. I really wish I could write something witty here, but studying for my last paper has eaten up what’s left of my brain. Like a zombie. Oh I love zombies. Okay I’ll shut up.
