vest

Have always been looking for THE vest, which, in my opinion, must be oversized and of that perfect, pristine white, with the right flow down the front and lapels. This one hits nearly all the sweet spots. I wanted to actually go for that "all white errthang" look but I couldn't find a top and bottom with the same white shade... Yes, white has different shades and the "whiteness" of each piece differs! I am super obsessive over stupid details like that. Wearing this vest reminds me of Bright Eyes' Amy In The White Coat... Such a heartbreaking and great song. In love with my metallic-y coloured loafers as well! It's just right and not overly shiny. I am always afraid of looking like an alien with bright shiny feet. Well, isn't everyone?

PS, Am very pleased with this batch of photos (as can be evidenced by the larger than usual amount of photos in this post) - especially love the ones against the steel/metal wall. Somehow great architecture always makes for more interesting photos; the lines somehow give the photo a more futuristic touch. However, natural scenery is as breathtaking as well, if one can find those views, that is.

night

Attended the annual F1 Singapore Grand Prix yesterday! Wanted to wear something more festival-y but eh. The weather here really prevents me from functioning properly, I was a hot mess yesterday sweating all over the place. Nevertheless, I had a good time. Both my top and shorts were lightweight enough for the 32 degree Celsius weather. (Yes, even at night. RIDICULOUS.) I love these shoes as it's got that little something extra to perk up an otherwise boring outfit. A con is that it's pretty heavy though, so I felt that my legs were practically detached from my body while walking. I may or may not be exaggerating.

PS, taking pictures at night is supremely difficult - or I am just too lousy to know the correct settings. Practice makes perfect I guess, but I will always prefer taking pictures in the day. Natural sunlight is the best kind of light!

This is the time of the year where not only fashion week is taking place, but also various film festivals. Not to mention Oscar ~season - please roll out all the bait-worthy films! However I am really looking forward to this film.. it looks amazing. Somehow French films just seem more romantic and perfect (this is pure stereotyping, I know I know. But everyone thinks Paris is the city of love and romance and there must be at least a grain of truth in that). The music in French films is just astounding as well, I have discovered so much new and good music from various films. Really looking forward to this. Doubt that it will screen in Singapore though... well there is the internet for that.


Blue Is The Warmest Colour
I really think that the essence of a good film is in the music though. No matter how amazing a film is, without music it just falls terribly flat. Amazing music by Beach House in the trailer;


Take Care by Beach House
Obligatory shout out to one of my favourite French films, albeit from a Canadian director. But no one's complaining.


Laurence Anyways
I have discovered a slew of awesome music just from this trailer alone. Xavier Dolan is so talented (pardon my gushing for a moment) and he is only 24?! My rather recent love for electronic music probably stems from watching his movies.


A New Error by Moderat

Bad Kingdom by Moderat   All these amazing art is literally making me feel inadequate so I shall check out right about now - to go and listen to more amazing music. Yes.

Other songs currently on repeat atm:
Gun by CHRVCHES
Things We Lost In The Fire by Bastille
Wild by Beach House

Tell Mama by The Civil Wars

height

Being slightly taller than average in this country (it seems presumptuous to claim that I am "slightly taller"...), I hardly - well, never is a more appropriate word - wear heels. Like, ever. But I decided to try out heels and honestly, I am loving it. Although I am a total mess even with just this 1.5" heel, but progress has to be slow and steady, no? Pretty excited to wear out the other 3.5" pair! I'm such an amateur. Anyway, doesn't this wrap skirt scream 90's? I remember when I was a child I used to have all these wrap skirts and dresses. Well but as they say, old is gold. White skirts are surprisingly hard to match even though it's such a basic colour. End up wearing something overly structured, and the outfit would definitely resemble a school uniform (the horror!). But I will never tire of white anything. Neverrrrrrrrr.

clashing prints

This t-shirt is perfect for the maddeningly sweat-inducing weather of late in Singapore. The fabric is definitely a delight, but what's more amazing is definitely the prints - and a clash of prints at that. It's just so subtle that if you're not noticing, the different print may just slip your eye completely, and that's what I love about this. Personally, I'm not a fan of bold and loud clashing prints as it seems just a tad hyperbolic, but give me all the muted and hidden different prints please! Am loving this clutch/crossbody (I do seem to have a habit of turning crossbody bags into clutches don't I) bag; it reminds me so much of the Jason Wu Daphne cross body bag.... which I sadly cannot afford. Yet.

ripped

It's so hard to find the perfect pair of ripped jeans - the length must not be too short so it can be folded up, but not too long either else the folds would look screwy; the jeans must not be too ripped (I know I know, what a contradiction) and be positioned at the perfect spot; and most importantly the bagginess must be perfect. This pair from ASOS comes almost close to my dream pair. I'm just slightly disgruntled at the fact there is a bit too much rips on this, but for £14 (approx. SGD$28), what more could I ask for? I'm so clumsy though, that I've put my foot through the rips a few times today, and it's only my first wear of this! Eh. If only I were more skillful with anything domestic I would rip my own jeans, but knowing me.. I would probably end up with shorts. And a pair of lopsided shorts at that.
