I Miss Your Bones

ROARRRRR, Cat Yawn! 
Recently, I have been yawning a lot. It reminds me of cats yawning in the streets while snuggling up on their fat bellies. Anyways, with minimal makeup on another sloppy day of mine, I decided to go black and get comfy with an oversized old Cheap Monday top, way before they decided to change their logo and eliminated the inverted cross sign smacked right on the skull's forehead. Cheap Monday has always been my favourite brand since I was a teen, so out of curiosity, I went to google about the reasons for the changed of logo. It was designed by Bjorn Atldax as an "active statement against Christianity" nothing associated with Satanism or Occult but his personal dislikes toward the religion. To know more info, you can read it up Here. Anyways, this top was a birthday gift from my late Grandma, it's hip as hell coming from a Granny! I guess nobody knows me better than her that I love skulls, and maybe she really do love me and chose to past away two days before my birthday. All in all, I'm glad that she was finally freed from the pain she suffered having diagnosed with liver cancer for six months.

To hyped things up a little, here's a song by Hospitality, I Miss Your Bones. I really love this band as they never failed to cheer up my day!

Paper Planes

Shades ∆ Cheap Monday (more)
Sleevesless Shirt ∆ Vans
Shorts ∆ DIY
Shoes ∆ Vans
Bag ∆ H&M (Find Similar Here)
Accessories ∆ Forever 21, Topshop
Sock ∆ Topshop

I'm keeping my outfit simple by wearing a sleeveless tank with my DIY shorts and a pair of platform sneakers which is like two size bigger. I really love this pair of platform sneakers, but sadly I just couldn't find my size, so I thought why not just cheat my size since my feet will is hidden in it? Anyways, I'm feeling gold today so I paired my outfits with my gold accessories.

Today's outfit title is inspired by the song Paper Planes. Life is unpredictable and sometimes it can go up while other time it goes down just like a paper plane. Same goes for me. My life is not perfect. I'm someone that runs by passion. When you concentrate on passion of cos your finances may suffers depending on what kind of passion is it. It's always that passionate versus money issues that I'm sure not only Singapore is facing it.

Take me for example, I love designs, fashions and arts in general. However, the industry is so vast and sometimes, because of the money (KA-CHING!), I tend to accept the job and knowing that I absolutely hate what I am going to be doing. Then I got stuck there day by day hoping I may have the chance to break free of the boring eight to five office hours. Just like the lyrics, "All I wanna do is ... And take your money". Seriously, if you ask me if I care about my works for my clients? I can tell you, Fuck it. I ain't gonna care much and just follow what they want since at the end of the day they will pay the money and won't really appreciate your idealistic designs (which supposed to work better) by going back to the traditions. So for my salary I temporarily "murdered" my passion and let go of my time. So my paper plane took a roller coaster down. Of cos without struggling to break free from my comfort zone and submit myself to the boring life, I will be stuck there and continue to complain how shitty my life is. One day I decided to flew my paper plane again and started doing what I love, even if it means that I got to start all over from the bottom again I will do it!

So even if you're down at the bottom, need not be upset as who knows there might be a kid out there that will hold your plane up and flew it again!

Here's the song by Beautiful Small Machines, Paper Planes.

Hunger on the Pine





Dress ∆ Cheap Monday (bad news that the dress is sold out. here's a similar top)
Necklace ∆ Topshop
Shoes ∆ Jeffrey Campbell

I guess you can tell from my outfit that it's just one pieces of long T-shirt dress. It is one of those days that I just want to look cool without adding more than one piece of clothing. Currently it is one of my favourite dress. Since it is monochrome, it is easy to match with! I accompanied my dress with my studded boots and a flip-up vintage shades that I bought from a vintage shop in haji lane. 

It was a pretty gloomy day and I actually hoped that it will rain. However, it did not... Apparently, the weather recently is pretty hot with temperatures ranging from 26 to 32 degrees celsius. To be honest, I think it feels like 34 degrees in the day and 29 degrees at night. So let's indulged with lots of ice-cream and cold drinks to cool ourselves down!

Anyways Alt-J had just dropped their latest singles, Hunger Of The Pine. Hmmm, the Music video is a little unbearable to watch though.
