scarf print

Gloomy weather has been making itself a permanent resident in Singapore and hence, the lack of posts these two weeks. I hate taking pictures under insufficient (and ugly, may I add) lighting. There was finally some decent sunlight two days ago! Wore this dress to attend Digital Fashion Week which I got tickets for. Felt a bit hesitant in wearing this honestly, the print is a tad too obnoxious for my liking..? But ah well, decided it looked fine in the end! I love love love shift dresses. I think I'm over the age of wearing dresses with a fitted bodice and skater skirts. Give me interesting cuts please! (I am not referring to meat... cuts just always sounds so butcher-y.)

On to Digital Fashion Week, I attended the Inspired by Nokia runway show, featuring local designers Max Tan, Mae Pang, Pauline Ning, SUNDAYS, and YOUYOU. It was pretty eye opening to say the least. This is my second "official" fashion show (attended FIDé Fashion Weeks approx two weeks ago, but no outfit pictures for that except on my Instagram because the lighting was TERRIBLE. Or maybe I have a lousy camera..), and it was quite an eye opener. I dream of attending the big four sometime soon.. well, baby steps they say, baby steps.



I absolutely loved Max Tan's collaboration with Nokia; his use of the all black jumpsuit meshed together perfectly with the bright yellows of the outfits. Feels like it really makes you focus on the clothes as there's nothing distracting (eg. the model's make-up, or face), and it fits in well with the whole "technological" aspect of this show. And it really fits in with his whole aesthetic: "Androgynous meets soft geometric forms: Experimenting with quirk cuts and expanding on extremely simple ideas, Max conjures up silhouettes that conceals the wearer’s form and exploring new shapes." (from Max Tan.) I am an absolute sucker for uniformity and congruence in fashion, it's refreshing to see that a designer is religiously following a theme and his ideal. Will definitely keep an eye out for him in this industry!

The minute I stepped out of my house in this jumpsuit... I can honestly say that I felt like making a u-turn just to change my outfit. The weather was just absolutely ridiculously warm. But then salvation came in the form of a bus with air-conditioner, so there's that! I love the material of this (which I would presume is cotton. However, my identification of materials is abysmal, to say the least, so don't take my word for it) - it makes for such comfortable wear, and to lounge around in. Plus it's pretty much fuss free for a jumpsuit; no unnecessary buttons, just a simple half zip down the back and an elastic waist. I love. In fact I am so into the comfy "sweatpants" look at the moment (I know what Monsieur Karl says about sweatpants, but every girl deserves an off day) that I am tempted to buy this pair of Alexander Wang sweatpants till I looked at my sad bank account and made the rational but painful choice, of saying no.





Also, I went for a meet-up hosted by Margaret Zhang of ShineByThree at Oxwell & Co and she was so amazingly lovely, down to earth, and just all around nice. I can't believe that I've been able to meet her, I feel too lucky! Social media is really an amazing tool, I can't even fully grasp the power of it. But it has definitely helped me grab some opportunities which would otherwise be unavailable. Also saw the owner of ByInviteOnly, one of my favourite local jewellery brands, Trixie Khong! She's super lovely as well, it's encouraging to see how a fellow Singaporean has made a pretty successful foray into the big bad world of fashion. Every piece of jewellery is handmade and so gorgeous.

PS, Margaret complimented my jumpsuit! I felt like jumping around in that instant but for the sake of appearing not insane, I didn't. Which was, in my opinion, an excellent idea.

Was so inspired by the events that happened on Fri (which I will touch on later) that I've decided to, once again, start a blog - and this time I will not be giving up!

So.. Friday was the opening of the Charles & Keith boutique at Ngee Ann City. Read about it on Bagaholicboy and decided to pop by for a look because several of my favorites were going to be gracing the event; namely Daniel Henney, Liu Wen and Bryanboy! Other guests included Tokyodame, Han Huo Huo and local celebrities. Waited for an age for them to arrive and everyone looked absolutely stunning. Was blown away by Liu Wen especially - azn pride!

Managed to grab a few pictures with Bryanboy and a video as well - thank you so much for your time! Just the nicest and sweetest blogger ever. He replied to my instagram comment and I wasted no time in approaching him after that, ha ha. Oh, what would I do without social media!





Nearly melted at this. Please pardon my over excited and sweaty face, humidity is a bitch. Check out my instagram for more pictures!
