It's a special day. We should celebrate.

We're blessed with so much. Don't throw it all away.

The Billiard Room

PARADISE - COLD PLAY

Insanely in love with this song. Don't get what's up with the elephants in the video though.

Daddy picked me up from work on Tuesday & went to the Billiard Room @ Raffles Hotel for Mum's birthday Part II. Grow fat only. Love the food there. We were there last year too. Learnt that my parents are one of the worst kinda customers you'd ever meet. Mum's 50 but she still looks so younggg~~~

We're All Mad Here

 

 Threadsence.com, an online store by Lookbook.nu has come up with their Winter Collection. I think I'm in love. Their vintage/indie looks are to die for; short knitted dresses, oversized overthrows and chiffon maxis. *want so bad*

TOPSHOP TOPMAN Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection launch

Dazzling blue eyes. Omg. Okay, derailing from topic. Look at the top! Pretty checkers.

 

Love the sweater + shoes.

Favourite outfit on the runway. Simple and classy girl-next-door knit wear. Probably die of heatstroke in Singapore though. Maybe shall get it for Shanghai during Christmas. HMM.

Top (left pic): Mustard yellow maryjane dress, so cute. Can't stand the ear-muffs inspired hairband though.

 I absolutely drooled over this dress as the model strutted her way down. Black velvet, puffy sleeves and bare backed with sides cut off. So beautiful. Not so crazy about the bandage turban though. Don't have a proper shot :( Forgot to check my exposure meter.

 

THE HAT!!! <3 Thought she looked like Rumi Neely- Fashiontoast

 

I love her strut the best. We went into the fitting room and she was walking towards us. Clicked a pic with my Ipad and forgot to save it. Urgh. Her smile was heart stopping.

TOPSHOPTOPMAN AUTUMN/WINTER 2011 COLLECTION looks rather splendid and comfy. Loving the brown, the occasional yellow and unexpectedly, the turquoise (& blue). I think Michael Van Der Ham's a genius for putting everything together. I'd never have associated turquoise and Fall/Winter. The knit, fleece and maroon leather. Gorgeous. Don't even get me started on the models. Head pieces and round neck collars are so gonna be in.

The Launch/event was held outside Ion. Explains the long queue beside the pop-up store? The runway was chic, clean. They had it last year in the Level 8 Ion carpark. Totally believe the ambiance was so much better this year with Ion's glass-LED light structure and the traffic of Orchard Rd. Street Fashion Love. There was a massive rush for the 20% off at the Ion outlet after that. Got a beautiful sheer cream top with gold buttons; but that was before everything because the Topshop ladies allowed us to pick out 1 top that's (max) $100 for our efforts (?).

So thankful that Ronald was able to get Elise, Iskandar and me media passes to be fashion photographers. We were prancing around the scene with iPad-Instagrams, taking pictures of fashionable people- and of course, the best thing's that we got the excuse to be right smack infront of the runway.

Brought my 1.4f/ but Sam, who was standing beside me needed it. So, there I was, in the crowd, all squashed up, handling an iPad in my left and a 70-200mm 2.8f/ in my right. The camera was probably 4KG and I got tired of lifting the probably 12inch lens. Didn't check my pics as the walk ran and only realised that all the female model shots were overexposed on the bus home with Col :'((  Ignorance is not bliss.

But yeah. Yay for Topshop.

CATWALKCLOSE

Hey there.

So, I was recently given a chance to design, freelance, for one of the best blogshops you can find: CATWALKCLOSE. Their new collection, L'Automne, was realised only days ago. They've recently shifted but you can check out their new web here and also, their Facebook.

It's quite an awesome collection they have here. There's no other perfect way to channel simplicity and pure sophistication.

Deep Red

 

(Deep Red clutch from Collage, Bangles&Ring from Krabi, Gucci shades, Michelle Silver & beige nail polish, Aldo sandals)

Why Hello.

This was the general colour theme for my outfit today. Deep Red.

Forgive me. Story of my life, I never have full body shots.

Just got this new clutch from Collage @ Haji Lane yesterday. Mandy & Michy think it looks like a potato sack/a pillow case/ Santa's bag. I still love it! So it shall henceforth, be name: Sack. How unoriginal. I really love how its a foldover clutch (see above pic). I've been scouting for something like the Clare Vivier's.
It's just missing the zip- but I guess that's why I'm paying $70 less than it. I compromised this for my Zara clutch which costs 259 </3 heartbreaker.

It's so difficult to find a decent clutch in this lovely colour really. What I usually see in Blogshops are these which are usually ranging from a price of $28 - $33:

PS:// Back when we were in Wuhan, they were selling them for $3sing. Just sayin'.

 

And I found a unicorn ring in my cupboard.

How freakin' cool is that?

Bet's my sister's.  

 

Diamond studded hairband from Accessorize

 

Yea, & I was broke at the end of the day spent with Dy'&Mich (watching Spy Kids 4- TERRIBLE SHOW *GAGS*), but still went ahead and got a pair of Aldo sandals.

And just to add on to my compulsive urge to shop, I managed to get these buys:

 

(Mustard Vintage Shorts from Robot Ninjas- they're having a sale btw!!) One of my favourite colours right now- apart from Emerald Green & This colour but slightly redder & more luminous. 

 

(Mint Maxi skirt from Missypixie)

 

&the gorgeous Moschino belt. 

Been wanting it the day since I saw Col wear it (L)

- - - - -

I'm broke. 

I shall not lust over the many other things in blogshops.

Yes.  Ask for repentance now, Amanda.
