As you might have read (from my previous post) that I'm currently on vacation in Bali, here's a quick post of my outfit that I had taken a few days ago. 

I dressed a little more pop today with bright and flashy colours! While experimenting with my hair, I tied two tiny buns up. Kind of reminds me a bit of the Japanese's Shibuya or Harajuku styles. Anyway, I'm really embracing this look as it is more creative to me. Do let me know how you feel about it too!

I will be posting more when I'm back! So stay tuned!

Here's a song for the day! And currently a song that is stuck in my head and I could not stop humming along with the melody - La Sera's Running Wild!

Our Love

Pink Unicorn Crop Top ∆ H&M

Blazer ∆ Bershka (Find Similar Here)

Shoes ∆ Jeffrey Campbell (Find More)

Maxi Velvet Skirt ∆ Vintage (Find Similar Here)

This outfit was taken a few weeks ago. I started experimenting with flash photography that I normally hate most as it tends to project the worst of me like my skin, scars and etc. I mean, I'm not perfect so does everyone, but just that in photos I hope I look good without the need to Photoshop except the tones and moods that I want to express. I was feeling mellow that day (as well as today) so I wore all things black; black blazer on with my black maxi skirt and my black boots and beanie, except for my pink unicorn top which was the main focus. 

I call this outfit "Our Love" taken from the song title by Sharon Van Etten (do listen to the music attached below when reading). Simple reason is that my love with this great guy had come to an end earlier today. Typically, my blog is not something that I would like to rant about relationships and all, but just this one post that I would like to summarise everything up. 

Our journey began one and a half years ago. We started off as colleagues working together in the design industry and we shared similar interests. We became friends soon enough and pretty much hang out, sang and played the same kind of music, went to concerts and spent great times together. Eventually we got together and became lovers. Unknowingly as time goes by, we realised we have different goals in life. All those memories of our good times.. I'm starting to miss them. I really really do. Well my friends felt our love for each other was sweet and perfect but there were many faults in the dark zone that they will never see. Just like my outfit, my top is the main focus that takes all the attention away and not the black blazer nor the skirt. We had so much in common and so many things to share, but just the thought that we could not spend the rest of our lives together, I just feel really upset about it. Maybe the pain now is still fresh and I practically spent my whole day crying since yesterday. I guess eventually time will heal and we'll probably still be friends. Life has to go on and may the sunshines of tomorrow paint a smile on my face and no matter what I have to stay strong! 

Turn It Around

Beanie ∆ Topshop (as be seen on Cool Kids post)

Top ∆ Topshop

Blazer ∆ Bershka (Find Similar Here)

Checkered Jeggings ∆ Topshop

Heel-Boots ∆ Sperry (Find Similar Here)

With a bing and a bang, I'm having a causal jamming with the drums or the microphone in a studio in chinatown. I wore a crop top with a checkered legging that I had just bought yesterday and I just can't wait to wear it! Keeping things cool with my blazer and beanie and matched my outfit with a simple heel-boots to pump up my petite height (a tiny bit).

Singapore is a modern country with many tall architectural infrastructures. Nevertheless, due to the mixed heritages and cultures, there are still many shophouses preserved such as in Chinatown. I'm in love with the more laid back look and feel of a stretch of back alleys that connect many shophouses together. 

Anyway, I decided to choose this look to join the Ariat style contest for the New York Fashion Week. I have never, in my whole entire life, step a foot into America before and not even mentioning about New York. When I recevied the style contest via email, I was like yes I need this and it will be a huge opportunity for my one month old blog that I quitted my day job to do it for my dream passion by being an inspiration to young girls in Singapore to be daring and creative in dressing up. I hope that if I win Ariat style contest and get to go New York Fashion Week, I can show to people out there that we can change our life and make dreams come true. Take lead in things that we want to achieve and change the norm. It will not only be an eye opener to be able to attend New York Fashion Week, but it will also be an eye opener to Singapore that bloggers can make it international and not just circulating within the little red dot. #ariatNYFWBoot

Just like the video of this song by Lucius, Turn it Around, it combines modern with retro, just like Singapore. Do check out the video!
