I heart Lomo.
These awesome-ly mad happy pictures were kindly developed by the sweet people at Lomography Singapore and I’m definitely in love with the raw and grainy effect of these pictures. I had the Diana Mini with me to shoot for that evening and these are the results! I’m definitely having the pictures developed in print because they’re just too lovely to remain...

Furry Goodness
(Mango Jacket, Vintage Dress/Cuff, Steve Madden Heels, Thrifted Faux Fur Clutch)
A few weeks ago, the good friendly people at Lomography Singapore invited us for the launch of their Animal Edition lomo cameras. It was a themed party, and everyone was to come dressed in their wildest outfit. Something along the lines of ‘Into The Wild’. I’m a huge sucker for theme parties...

Lomo Gone Wild!
Liy loves a great wild adventure and although the entire world has gone digital (herself included), she never forgets the wonder and beauty of analogue photography. Mindless shooting from the hip, mysterious end results and no rules of third when shooting, it doesn’t get any better than that! Lately, she has been engrossed with her La Sardina Caviar and takes it with her on adventures.

One Too Many
(Uniqlo Shirt, H&M Floppy Hat/Heels/Sunglasses/Cuffs, Zara Clutch)
As far as basics go, stripes are an essential wardrobe piece as is a great pair of sunglasses of dark skinnies. The variations in stripes are crazy and I personally can never get enough. So, come on, fess up.. How many of you have bought the same shirt but different colours? It’s the same idea! This particular...

Double Denim
(Gifted Denim Top, Valleygirl Jeans, H&M Heels, Zara Clutch, Lanvin x H&M sunglasses)
I’m starting to take notice of the diverse collage of colours, patterns and textures that is sprouting all over my room and this sudden burst of mixed aesthetics is all thanks to a resurgence of all things ’90s including and especially double denim, fun florals, quirky accessories and...

Gold Lace
(Thrifted Dress, Faux Fur Clutch, Forever 21 Bangle, Vintage Shades)
This lightweight lace dress was a steal during my recent trip to Krabi! Walking around the night market aimlessly, there it was hanging prettily in the distance. This dress was made for a trip to the theater but I reckon it would be equally as perfect for a great night out too.

Washed Out
(H&M Button-down, Dear Sophea Skirt, Thrifted Pearl Collar, GAP Tulle Skirt, Bysi Bag)
Nothing like a clean and simple white-grey palette in an outfit. Paired with my favourite GAP tulle under a skirt, it makes for the perfect sunny day out otfit. Complete with a swirl and a twirl!

Printed Matter
(JayJay Printed Kimono, Forever 21 Lace Shorts, H&M Blouse/Boots, Vintage Cuff, Bysi Bag)
Putting on all these separates at whim, I didn’t realise how they are all somewhat textured. The lace shorts are an essential piece in my wardrobe now, and the platform boots have a snake-skin and suede finish which makes dressing up an outfit so much more effortless. Don’t get me...

Clutter Free
(DearSophea Long Cardigan, Uniqlo T-shirt, Pimkie Pants, H&M Collar, Massimo Dutti Bag)
I constantly have mixed feelings about my hair and it’s currently at a stage where its annoyingly messy and flat and the only way keep it tidy is to put it all up. This is definitely my go-to hairstyle if I ever need to pull my hair back and I wished I had a better picture to show you how...

Rainbow Connection
(Thrifted Top, Zara Skirt, H&M Boots, New Look Necklace, YSL Arty Ring, Coach Bag)
This series of photos were taken right before 2011 ended when darling Nabbycat took me out for a lunch at the gardens. I’ve known Nab for the longest time (since we were 10 years old!) and it’s really lovely that we still talk to each other as much till today. From play dates that involved...

Fringed Benefits
(Cotton On Fringed Kimono, Thrifted Crochet top, H&M Tank top/Bracelet, Forever 21 Jeans/Band/Ring, Vintage Earrings)
What I love most about meeting my best friends is that we are almost on a high everywhere we go and we’re always seemingly hungry and constantly on the go for something sweet. Put a little baby in that equation, its absolute madness. I swear our energy rubs...

Dream Came True
(Gold Blouse, ASOS Pants, ARARED Necklace, Forever 21 Bracelet, Thrifted Faux Fur Clutch, YSL Arty Ring, Steve Madden Gretta Heels)
While in Krabi last week, I dived into a sea of opportunity. Bless my lucky stars for the great stroke of luck, I won a pair of tickets to meet one of my favourite crooners of all time. With golden pipes that match no other and a smile that mends broken...

Sunshine Summer in Sunflowers
(Vintage Dress, Thrifted Faux Fur Clutch, H&M Floppy Hat/Swedish Hasbeens Wedges, Forever 21 Ring)
This set of photos was take at the Johor Premium Outlets. The skies were a beautiful blue (cue ‘The Simpsons’ theme song) and it almost seemed like my dress was made for this landscape.

And Another One - Flare Away
(Forever 21 Pullover/Bracelet, Valleygirl Pants, H&M necklace, Massimo Dutti Bag, YSL Arty Ring)
I know, I know, flared pants again you say? I can’t get enough of these babies. Plus, if you look closely, they’re slightly bell shaped which was why I fell in love with this piece! Brownie points for the gliding effect as I walk! I can’t believe I put off purchasing this...

Layer & Swing
(Dear Sophea Button Down/Blazer, Bysi Skirt, Thrifted faux fur clutch, Vintage cuff, Forever 21 rings)
I love that I’m able to pile on one layer of clothing on top of another despite the weather being slightly warm. One of the many reasons that I can justify for this senseless habit is that I do get cold very easily (I sleep with a heavy duty comforter even with the fan turned on)....

White on White
(Thrifted Dress, Dear Sophea Overlay, Bysi Bag, Cotton On Scarf/Belt, H&M Ring, YSL Arty Ring, Forever 21 Bracelet)
Lately I’ve been feeling a little uninspired. I blame it on the weather that blows between hot and cold. I dug all the way into my closet of clothes and threw on these two separates at whim. As the day went on, I realised how comfortable, clean and simple my outfit...

Granny Chic
(Vintage Dress/Belt, H&M Sunglasses, Zara Clutch, YSL Arty Ring, Beige Heels)
In the midst of finding something to wear this afternoon, I rediscovered this vintage dress which I used to literally live in. I used to collect vintage dresses, and always wondered where the piece has been or who has worn it before me (I like to pretend that it was someone famous). Vintage pieces...

Gold, Sequins & Lace

This weekend I devote to complete home stay. Pigging out, watching shows online AND on television, catching up with Black Friday sales, everything you can possibly do at home I already have/will.
This set of photos may seem a little too early for...

Honcho Poncho
(Valleygirl Poncho, Topman Tank, Zara Skirt, Rubi Shoes, ARARED necklace, H&M Bracelet, YSL Ring, vintage rings)
A lovely Monday afternoon when the weather was cool and windy, permitting this fun poncho that got on my recent trip to Brisbane. I couldn’t resist getting it at such a steal and almost squealed at the many fun times that I will have with this piece. Once I had this...

Free Spirit
(K-mart Kimono Shrug, Valleygirl Crochet Top, Flared Jeans, Massimo Dutti Bag, Rubi Shoes, Rosebullet Necklace, YSL Ring, DIY headpiece)
There’s nothing I love more than a few key pieces of apparel that are able to clock tremendous wear time. I adore pieces like kimono tops and crochet detailing because they go well over and under anything when you’re just in a frenzy and have...

Birthday Love II
(Thrifted Top, Valleygirl Skirt, ARARED Necklace, Massimo Dutti Clutch, YSL Ring, Steve Madden Heels)
A sunny day spent with my favourite girls in the whole world. After finding the perfect landscape, we decided to take a walk in the park battling wet and uneven ground (which was really a sight!) in our matching suede heels. I received three of the most loveliest and thoughtful gifts on...
Birthday Love
Spending my birthday with the people I love most was the one and only wish I could ever care for to be granted. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the lovely and wonderful time, gifts and celebrations.

Mixing It Up
(Cotton On Blazer, H&M Tank & Sunglasses. Valleygirl Pants, Bysi Bag, New Look Flats, YSL Ring)
It was supposed to be summer in Brisbane around this time but winds were mildly strong and the air smelt like the morning all day. The transition from spring to summer was happening right before my eyes and it was so beautiful.

Fly Girl
(Topman Striped Shirt, Topshop Jeans, Zara Kids sweater, Zara clutch, H&M shades, Rubi shoes)
I find that it’s really important to be comfortable while dressing for the airplane. While we battle crumpled clothes and swollen feet a thousand feet up in the air, the few things that will never fail to disappoint are cotton, knits and stretchy legwear.
Fun in the Sun
(Thrifted top, Dorothy Perkins Flare Pants, ARARED necklace, Zara clutch, vintage accessories)
I’m leaving for Australia later today, hoping to get a little summer sun. This is most probably the most relaxing holiday ever because everyone only really started packing this morning. My household is really chaotic a week before any holiday but this time round, its different - so...

International Suit Up Day
(Topshop Blazer and Pants, Ralph Lauren Shirt, Gifted tie, Fringed wedges)
October 13th was International Suit Up Day, so a couple of friends and i decided to dress for the occasion to commemorate Barney Stinson’s genius fashion philosophy of suiting up. It was so much fun walking about, in a shirt and a tie. I felt so dapper that I had to stop myself from walking with a swagger (yes,...

There’s something almost mysterious to this floppy felt sunhat. I had my eyes on a few other pieces prior to my trip to Italy but this baby right here takes the cake. It fits my head like a glove and the way it falls around my face - well, it blocks my vision a...

Spotted at Marina Bay Sands (say this in Kristen Bell’s voice). Last week the CATALOG team headed on to Avalon at MBS to check out Robinsons and Mio’s fashion show which was inspired by four new drama series on Mio TV. One of the four new drama series was Gossip Girl. It was so exciting to be able to...

It’s nice to resurrect old pieces of clothing and in this case, this Mango jacket. The details on the satin lapels are divine!
Driving around aimlessly, we saw this mysteriously bright green house among a sea of black dilapidated shacks. Don’t even get me started on the blue tiles...

When September ends
(Leather jacket, Uniqlo shirt, Forever 21 pants, Converse high cuts, Topshop necklace)
The weather has been nippy these days so I jumped on the chance of wearing my favourite leather jacket. Toughens and dresses up even the most simplest of outfits! Its been a Manic Monday so far, but I’m looking forward a few things this week especially watching my all time favourite singer in town...

There are so many things I love about these photos. The colour on the walls, this comfortably gorgeous skirt, my current obsession for statement necklaces and my new go-to hairstyle in less than 5 minutes!
Recently, I’m in love with Hello Giggles. If you love everything smart and creative, this...

Feel of the Week
(Thrifted Top and Blazer, Pimkie Pants, YSL Ring, Bysi Bag, ASOS Shoes)
Just when it feels like a vacation is in tow, I found these pictures taken in Milan at the Duomo (perfect place to people watch) and at the San Siro Stadium.
The last picture, is pretty much how I feel this week.
Monday Blues
(Modparade Blue Dress, Ralph Lauren Shirt, Vintage Denim, Thrifted bag, ASOS Chelsea boots)
This was an outfit for Monday. Feeling a little blue-sy so I was hoping the bright shade on this dress would make a little difference. Now that it’s already Thursday, I can’t really remember how my Monday went.

ARARED
A package came in my mail a week ago and I have been anticipating for this package to arrive for a few weeks already so it took me a whole lot to not tear open the box! A sweet friend I met online, Mas, is one entrepreneur to watch out for. Her designs are beautiful and so wearable and I cannot wait for so much more from her label, ARARED. Mas was sweet and kind enough to surprise me with an...

I love ransacking through both of my brothers’ closets and lucky for me, they’re both skinny and lanky or perhaps they love to wear clothes that fit them well (with a slight possibility that maybe the younger one loves apparels that are a size smaller).
On days when I...

Nothing screams simplicity more than a black and white ensemble. ClubCouture recently sent me this pretty white dress which is insanely comfortable! I’m always a sucker for details so the cutout on the neckline made the dress an interesting piece.
ClubCouture has an extensive range of...

Rainy day
The past few days have been gloomy, and for some reason, every year near to the festive season the weather is always cooler and it almost rains every part of the day. So this is me keeping warm and cosy on a rainy Friday.

Sunday

On Sundays, I usually stay in, catch up on lost sleep, pig out and hang with the momsie. There’s something in the air on Sundays that makes me lethargic and slow. But last Sunday was different. I had to head out for work (thank god for awesome colleagues), and work really inspires me (in...

Got me high
These set are a little overdue but I was daydreaming earlier today and I remembered how much I enjoyed my trip to Monte Carlo. One of the highlights of the trip was definitely getting on a helicopter compliments of the state of Monaco. The 7 minute ride from Monaco to Nice was the highest high I had ever been on and I was all smiles throughout the day.
And in true style and...

Noël Caleb x [A-Mod] Styling Showdown
It’s always exciting to be part of a fashion challenge because there are really no limits to creativity and self-expression. What better way to let your creativity go wild and frenzied than to cross brand 2 labels together and make it a cohesive piece?
