Outfit post: Bittersweet Symphony [Black Outfits]

And these boots are made for walking and world domination.

Trend Report: Cross your legs

Spring is finally lingering around the corner, and I am sure many of you are more than happy to chuck the winter coats into the closet and pull out your lighter, shorter spring coats. Afterall, who doesn’t want to finally show their legs after months of burying them under thick, suffocating leggings and pants? Unfortunately, [...]

Outfit post: Fleurs du mal [Black Outfits]

I really do wish I could do a proper outfit post, but I am born and raised a tropical girl, and the cold here in London needs getting used to. So for now, the coat isn’t getting anywhere away from me.

I must admit, footwear for the cold remains a mystery to me. It’s surprising how [...]

Outfit post: Chain Reaction [Black Outfits]

If an article of clothing is a) black, b) draped, c) accessorized with chains, you can bet your last penny that we’ll be all over it like slobbering idiots. I’ve long given up trying to be less predictable.
What amazes me if that lately, I’ve been seeing more and more tops coming with chains attached. Whichever [...]

Outfit Post: Heavy Metal [Black Outfits]

Had an enjoyable Sunday evening out having dinner with blogger friends ladyironchef, dweam and of course Dawn. Managed to sneak in some photos to feature Singapore streetstyles. We had tonnes of food. Thankfully these were taken before dinner so there isn’t any bulging stomachs in sight.

The outfit is a relatively simple one so I decided [...]

Outfit Post: Nightquest [Black Outfits]

I must say I am absolutely stumped when it comes to naming pictures. Right now, I am just shuffling through my iTunes library and picking out suitable titles. I am sure all of you will get a pretty comprehensive idea of what I listen to after a while, unfortunately.
So why is the title appropriate in [...]

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 [...]

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.

Outfit post: Darkness of the unknown [Black Outfits]

I bought a new dress this week. This probably makes it my 5397269834th black outfit.
Don’t remind me how many variations of this dress I have in my wardrobe. This one has a longer hemline at the back which makes it awesome. Your argument is therefore invalid.
It’s been raining everyday for the past 2 weeks ( [...]

Outfit post: Jaded and unimpressed [Black Outfits]

I’m feeling like what my title says. I find myself jaded and unimpressed by many things, I guess being old does that to you. Who knows? I may shock everyone by wearing colours instead of a black outfit. I’m kidding.
Or am I?

Wearing 3 necklaces on my neck has proved to be a pretty tiring affair [...]

Outfit Post: Buckle up [Black Outfits]

Hello, earthlings. A friend jokingly commented that I looked like “an alien from outerspace came to earth and won the world wrestling federation championship!” when she saw me in this outfit. I did feel like I could kick some ass in this get-up, though. I am loving the shoulders of this dress, and the stuff [...]

Paris Laduree

We venture into the renowned patisserie, Laduree and found ourselves in dessert wonderland.
Won’t you explore it with us?

They’re nice gifts to bring home don’t you think?

Champs de Élysées

I was lucky enough to be in Paris a few days ago. The weather was turning cold and the skies gloomy, but that didn’t really stop me from roaming the streets of Paris dressed in black.
Champs de Élysées have some of the biggest luxury brand boutiques around. I often wonder into them and exit the [...]

Outfit Post: Macarons and me [Black Outfits]

Just when I complimented the weather yesterday, it decided to be overcast today so no streetstyle photos.  Cest la vie~!
I am determined to take photos of my outfit anyway so you guys are going to have to bear with the hotel bed background instead.
I think this black outfit would be decidedly normal if not for [...]

Outfit post: The world is my runway.

Another pic from the collaboration between zemotion (Zhang Jingna) and myself. New York City is made of win, dressing up makes you feel powerful. I am ready to take on the world.
A sudden burst of sunlight through the skyscrapers makes for an opportunity to take advantage of the ever-changing sunlight in Manhattan. We had to [...]

Outfit post: Needs no title

Too awesome for words.
A Monoxious first, collaborating with zemotion aka Zhang Jingna a good friend and my most favorite photographer of all time.
We had fun running around New York City yesterday taking photos of each other, both of us travel pretty often and it’s hard for us to meet up in Singapore. Instead, we meet [...]

Sleep with a dreamer’s mind

Just showing off the second pair of ears that Arissa and I made. They were intended to look like bear ears, but we ended up with mickey due to a slight error. I think it’s adorable nevertheless!

Mykonos, Greece

I was fortunate enough to have spent the weekend in Mykonos, Greece. One of the beautiful islands blessed by the awesome Mediterranean sun.
It has always been my dream to visit Greece, the sun, skies and sea proved it to be a dream indeed. I was moved to tears by its beauty, closing my eyes and [...]
