Aje. Autumn/Winter 2010 Lookbook

Model: Bambi Northwood-Blyth

Came across these images from Aje. Autumn/Winter 2010 lookbook awhile back. These are some of my favourite looks/pieces from the collection. Loving the sequin dresses, tops, pants, cutout skirts, well, basically all the sequinned pieces. Have been having some sort of unexplainable obsession with sequins lately which is weird coz I was never that into them before. Also, the maxi/asymmetrical dresses are something I can't seem to stop looking at as well.

American Retro

(Carolines mode)

I'm new to the label American Retro but saw some runway images from their Spring 2011 collection shown at the recent Copenhagen Fashion Week. These bags are so fun! Totally sensing some DIY ideas here. Love them!

My Birthday!

Lacee Swan Ranya Tee, Cotton On Shorts, Code Red Belted Sandals, Nerdy Specs from Far East, Rings from everywhere, DIY Studded Cuff

It's my birthday today! Had an early mini celebration with friends over the weekend. Ate alot and finally had the chance to check out KSuites. I thought the place was kinda pricey (we were made to order overpriced drinks) but it's definitely more posh than the normal KBox branches. At least we had fun with some pretty cool recording function in the room and ended up hearing ourselves getting all natural high and singing really loudly. Haha. 

MeL made me chocolate cupcakes (my 'birthday cake') I requested for. Very yummy! Thanks MeL!=)

Forgot to do an outfit shot that day so the first pic is actually from I think a couple weeks back (Thanks Ad!). Not exactly taken in the best lighting and I know it's a chessy pose but since it's my birthday, I can pose any way I want. Haha. I'm wearing the Ranya Tee which I was lucky enough to win from a giveaway by Lacee Swan, a talented artist who does beautiful illustrations. She sells the model series tees (currently there are 6 designs) on her site as well, so check them out if you would like a piece of your own. Will definitely take a better photo of the tee another time since this was an impromptu shot taken after a whole day of walking around.

So, there have been a few happenings going on recently. A friend of mine got me involved in a new and potentially exciting project if things go smoothly, so basically I've been very occupied rushing samples to meet the deadline which explains the lack of posts last week. Secondly, the BFF just got engaged last week! Congrats girl! I'm looking forward to producing the 'rainbow connection collection' (you know what I mean. Hahaha..). Lastly, my friend Nel just relocated to HK for work. Nel, if you're reading this, what happened to meeting up before you left? But anyway, hope everything's going well in HK yeah. I'll go look for you if I head there!=)

Have a great week ahead guys!=)

p/s: To all my friends who dropped me sweet birthday wishes and msgs, thanks guys!=)

Singapore Dreaming

Saw this editorial in the latest issue of Elle Singapore and thought it was a great idea to share it with you guys as it sort of give you a glimpse into some of our iconic buildings and locations here in Singapore. The colourful high rise bulidings (known as HDBs) you see in the third and last pic is home to majority of the population here. Kinda like what you would call an apartment in the US (ie. living in the same block with many other strangers you call neighbours). Singapore's a really tiny place and these builidngs provide everyone with a place to call home. Then we have what we call shophouses (4th pic) which are considered historical buildings with more than 100 years of history (I believe. History wasn't exactly my strongest subject back in school. Haha.). And the stone table with the chess board you see in the first pic? Hop over to Chinatown and you'll definitely find groups of senior citizens engaging in one of their favourite pastime, pitting their chess skills against each other.

Ok, so I literally just gave a mini history lesson but there is a good enough reason. In 2 days, Singapore will be celebrating it's 45th birthday! Since I noticed alot of you readers are located everywhere over the world, I figured it'll be rather fitting to share abit of my home country with you guys. To my fellow Singaporeans, Happy National Day in advance! Enjoy the long weekend, and to everyone else, hope you too have a wonderful weekend!!=)   

From Runway To Street 014

Givenchy Striped Jacket from Spring 2010 RTW Collection.

Some posts back, I asked if you guys loved or hated stripes. Some of you decided you love them, some alittle skeptical but willing to try out the jacket pieces. I really like how the stripes on the body/sleeves and lapel create some sort of illusion in this Givenchy striped jacket. This jacket is an absolute statement piece and I think is a rather good starting point for those fearful of stripes. Now, if only we could all afford this beautiful piece. Haha=)
