Disney’s Alice in Wonderland Movie

[Sponsored Review]
Curiouser and curiouser …

It has been a widely anticipated movie for me since news leaked out that Johnny Depp was going to be the Mad Hatter. He’s obviously a favorite of Tim Burton having worked with him countless times (okay 7 times actually) including a few of my favorite movies like Sleepy Hollow, Sweeny [...]

Outfit Post: Channelling Chanel [Black Outfits]

It’s been so long since I’ve posted an outfit post. I’m so sorry for my absence.
After seeing all the runway pictures these few weeks, I’ve been very inspired by runway looks and after getting my hands on a pair thigh highs that looks suspiciously like the ones from the Chanel Spring/Summer 2010 collection, I’ve decided [...]

Runway Review: Gareth Pugh Fall/Winter 2010

Hello everyone. I apologise for the sorry state of this blog. London was amazing, so much so that I completely forgot the existance of this blog that we ran out of posts. Dawn and I checked out Camden in our impossible high heeled boots, treading on stone pavements in the dreary and wet weather that [...]

Runway Review: Helmut Lang Fall/Winter 2010

Helmut Lang manages to deliver a collection consistent with details and style from the previous few seasons. To put it in a less political way, it is bland, mundane and unexciting. It doesn’t mean that I don’t like it though. I’m not usually a fan of prints but this seemingly terrestrial-inspired print has [...]

Runway Review: Rad Hourani Fall/Winter 2010

There is absolutely no question that black is the colour to be wearing for Fall/Winter 2010. Up till now, Alexander Wang, Helmut Lang, Ohne Titel and the like have proven on their runway collection that it -is- the colour to wear.

My previous post suggests some boredom in seeing the same colour over and over again, [...]

dekkori shoe accessories: one shoe, many looks.

We interrupt this normal transmission of runway reviews with something closer to the heart.
Yes, I do mean shoes.
We’re often met with the problem of dwindling shoe funds. There can only be that many ways to wear a pair of shoes, or boots for the matter. Folding it down, lacing it up a different way. There’s [...]

Runway Review: Ohne Titel Fall/Winter 2010

There’s so much black this season that I am actually getting bored. Yes, ME, an advocate for having 90% of my wardrobe black is saying that seeing so much black on the runway is boring. Or maybe I’m just hard to please.
Ohne Titel gave us a stimulating union of sheer and opaque. Mesh and leather [...]

Runway Review: Rodarte Fall/Winter 2010

Rodarte, I am shocked you reversed the colours for the seasons. Black for Spring/Summer and White for Fall/Winter? You rebel, you.
That aside, I believe your collection this season have fulfilled many girls’ matrimonial wish to wear Rodarte for their weddings. Good job.
However, this collection is a mish-mash of prints I do not understand. Then again, [...]

Sonia Rykiel for H&M Collection: Launch and loots

Hi everyone, I think most of you would know that the Sonia Rykiel for H&M collection launches today, 20 Feb~!! It’s awesome that I am in a forward timezone where I can -seem- to get everything first. LOL
I just happened to walk in when I saw the cute shoes, then everything else was a blur. [...]

Runway Review: Alexander Wang F/W 2010

Once again, I’m kinda late on this. Travelling around most of the time has taken a toll on me, with the cumulative sleep debt that I have, I -could- be that Disney chick they call the “sleeping beauty”. (ok I kid.) I am usually anticipative of New York Fashion Week, with both big names [...]

Outfit post: Madness of the Queen [Alice in Wonderland Inspiration]

Yes you saw this right. There is RED in this outfit. Don’t start freaking out or leave this page, I promise a good explanation for this. LOL.
I’ve had this jacket for the longest time but never really got round to wearing it. A signature piece from Vivienne Westwood, this heart lapel jacket has got to [...]

RIP Alexander McQueen, you will be sorely missed.

Today we lose a genius in this frivolous and volatile world of fashion.
I remember looking at his earlier collections when I was in school where he was called the le’infant terrible of fashion, how daring bold his collections was and how it encompasses everything that is Avant garde.
Putting himself back as a man, not a [...]

Shoe Porn: Acne Prefall 2010 boots

OMG ACNE WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!?!?!

Photo credits: http://caroline.feber.se
I am absolutely in love with these Acne boots from the Prefall collection. Wedges are just my absolute favorite and these just hit the right spot with that draped detail in the front held by a single buckle with velcro.
So ready to save up for it [...]

Shoe Porn: m-m-m-monster kill~!!!

Shoe shopping has been ridiculous. I think I clocked up 4 pairs of shoes in the last 2 weeks, with 3 of them bought in the same week. :<
I am pleased with this collection although may will agree that it is never enough. Narrowing it down to just one colour helps actually. Of course leeways [...]

What’s in my bag: All I see is an orange pen.

It’s been long since I had a “what’s in my bag” post. Owing to the fact that my bags aren’t all that exciting. I’ve been looking for a decent bag for a long time. The Proenza Schouler PS1 is high on my list, unfortunately that bag and my purse strings can’t get along and I [...]

Outfit Post: Malicious Misery [Black Outfits]

Ohai everyone. 久しぶり~!!!
It seems like a long time since I’ve posted an outfit I really wish I had a personal photographer to hang around me all day. But speaking of which, I had 2 person taking photos for me the other day. How lucky am I? It was a lovely day with Brad and [...]

Outfit post: Hiver à Paris [Black Outfits]

Pardon the broken French.
I was in Paris 2 weeks ago and it snowed~!!!! *excitement* Well, it IS exciting for someone born and raised in the tropics, up till the point where my toes were freezing.
Sub-zero temperature is not funny. When will Spring arrive???

I found a small park where there were rabbit burrows and I spotted [...]

DIY Clothes Tutorial: Making an Elastic Harness [DIY Fashion]

Hello peeps,
It’s been long since we had a post on DIY Fashion. We apologise on that part, the past month has been pretty crazy with the holiday season and setting up resolutions and priorities as the year drew to an end. We have load of exciting things lined up for Monoxious this year. Do watch [...]

Outfit Post: View of Silence [Black Outfits]

Obviously I have been following in Dawn’s footsteps of naming posts under random music that pops up on my iTunes. And living on a healthy dosage of game/anime soundtrack, this is what it decided to bestow upon me.

I remember it was a particularly uninspiring day, with Dawn and I hanging at the rooftop like a [...]
