DARK SIDE

Return with darkness this time. Been talking about doing a black on black look for awhile and this is my version today *finally. A combination of a long black and handkerchief hemline wrap with some silver/transparent accessories to compliment.

Aside from the look, I have a question to all bloggers/friends. As a blogger, I often struggle to find the right setting/background for the look I desire. Especially in Singapore where everywhere looks so green and tropical! It can get on my nerves on certain days. Do you have such frustrations too? Thankfully, this time I was lucky to find myself this minimalistic showroom nearby my house. I wish I’m THIS lucky everytime. Have a good weekend & all the best in whatever you are doing, my beautiful friends.

In case you're wondering about the tattoo. It is not permanent. I was supporting a design community called the Dottinghill. They created a fb space for designers to post their own creations and if it generates many likes, it will be printed for sale. This wolf was my favorite among others.

SHEINSIDE PICKS

Never knew about Sheinside until few days ago. There are just too many fashion sites these days that I find it hard to keep up with. And most of the time, I tend to compare the prices across a few sites. I have to say that Sheinside has achieved a balance of both fashion forward trends and reasonable pricing. Able to look stylish without hurting your pockets too much. There's no need to wear branded clothes everyday in my opinion. It is about dressing your personality. 

I have picked out pieces that would be perfect for a weekend especially on my lazy mornings. Best of all, these clothings don't crease as much as shirts/jackets. That means no need for ironing/steaming! My aim is to look my best without looking sloppy. If you realised, I even had a color theme going on here - White, silver and blue. Can you imagine me in them? Soon, I will be receiving a parcel of surprises from Sheinside. Excited. 

FACEHUNTER | YVAN RODIC

Yesterday at H&M, Yvan Rodic made his appearance for his new book launch. A year in the life of Facehunter. This book is about exploring new inspiration from architecture, food and parties apart from his street photography. Covering 30 over cities including Tokyo, Istanbul, Sao Paulo, Reykjavik, Stockholm, Beirut, Seoul, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, etc. Just to name a few. 

 For those who doesn't know him, he started out as a blogger for http://www.facehunter.org. He would walk on streets for hours looking for 'creatively' dressed people and he complies these photos into a book.

Just to share with you on the introduction page which I found very interesting. He was on his way to Oslo, one of the safest and wealthiest cities in the world. And his laptop was stolen from his hotel room in broad daylight. Six months later, the police found his laptop with a picture of the thief on his wallpaper. Only managed to retrieve half a million photos he took. Its a miracle, isnt it? I wouldn't know how to feel if I had mine lost too.    

It was great meeting him in person and had a little conversation about his book and my blog. He had my book signed and even took pictures of me with his camera. I felt the whole experience was so surreal.
