I don't know how to feel about that.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Staying alive despite the harsh wintry weather is one thing, but my biggest concern would be how I can look<i> 'fashunnn'</i> even after piling on four, five layers of clothing??? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just kidding.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In my head, I was envisioning '<a href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=miroslava+duma+winter+style&espv=2&biw=1422&bih=657&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiWkpfG1_zQAhUJqI8KHX7KBOMQ_AUIBigB" target="_blank">Miroslava Duma-chic</a>' but am pretty sure I would turn out to be more of 'Michelin-chic'. Sigh. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, buying an entire winter wardrobe just for this trip wouldn't make sense. Don't think I could rock a ski jacket or even pull off the knitted beanie look in Singapore but thankfully, we've borrowed a bunch of gear from our relatives so we're pretty much sorted. On top of that, we also went ahead and get ourselves a few sets of <a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/sg/store/women/collections/heattech.html?gclid=CMCDzaTY_NACFdCHaAodwx0OXw&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=COyaz6TY_NACFYWkaAod2ycPIA" target="_blank">HEATTECH innerwear from UNIQLO</a> just to be extra prepared. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whilst my dreams of looking like a street style star/Kpop icon have pretty much gone down the drain, that ain't going to stop me from scouring through the Net for some winterwear inspiration. My favourites from the Fall 2016 RTW shows below: </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xs-OY55fswY/WFX8AN7QFxI/AAAAAAAADQ4/I5NMbmDIPOsQzFhX1D2qIYuYylh_eCqnACLcB/s1600/Fausto%2BPuglisi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="344" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xs-OY55fswY/WFX8AN7QFxI/AAAAAAAADQ4/I5NMbmDIPOsQzFhX1D2qIYuYylh_eCqnACLcB/s640/Fausto%2BPuglisi.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Fausto Puglisi teaches us a lesson in layering by throwing a blazer over a longer coat. Am also intrigued by the clash of colours and patterns in his looks, from pairing raspberry with aquamarine (centre) to having a mini burst of blue peeking out from an otherwise monochromatic get-up (right).<br />
<br />

<br />
The leather jacket (left) is a favourite of mine due to its slightly oversized cut at the shoulders, plus the shorter length flatters the figure as it reveals the waist. The standard pairing of sweater and pants is a no-brainer for many, but the look becomes extraordinary with the play of textures, such as the short fur sweater which is worn with some bad-ass leather pants. Need those boots in my life too!!!!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My perception of the Rodarte girl is someone who was never the popular girl in school, and neither does she want to be. A little awkward but highly imaginative and creative in her own right, she possesses a quirky edge and that magical ability to dress in a manner that's fresh and out of the ordinary. Black lipstick has never looked so damn good. </div>

<div>
As much as we all love our blacks and greys during the winter season, a touch of the right colour can do wonders to an entire get-up. I'd like to think that thePrada dress (left) is the stuff made of dreams, constellations and rich, rich velvet. Beautiful, in short. Stuart Vevers-Coach 1941 (centre) exudes a youthful charm which I am a big fan of. The dusty orange fur-lined collar brings attention to the face and keeps its wearer extra toasty as well. Those metallic ankle boots are looking mighty fine too. The fur coat (faux, I hope?) from Au Jour Le Jour (right) is in <i>the </i>perfect shade of pink, which does a splendid job in brightening the look while complementing the model's porcelain complexion. </div>

I'm such a rookie with things all pertaining to makeup, but it was love at first sight when I made my first few beauty purchases, including a Smoky Eyeshadow Palette from this brand. I'm guessing a trip Down Under is long overdue? ;) </div>

Effortless is a lightweight dress worn over smooth, bronzed, sun-kissed skin. With hair tied up in a loose chignon and a pair of dainty gold hoop earrings, this look is <i>the </i>outfit for days when you want to look put-together despite the weather getting a little too hot for comfort. </div>

I have been a fan of Australian model Abbey Lee-Kershaw ever since her days as a <a href="http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/abbey-lee-kershaw-angelic-gucci-flora-fragrance-campaign-solve-sundsbo/" target="_blank">hippie-haute-couture model for Gucci</a>, particularly because of her distinctive features - between her two front teeth reveals this ever slight gap that suggests a different notion of beauty that one is usually accustomed to, and her gaunt-looking face has always looked weirdly attractive to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is often spotted in bohemian-esque outfits, so imagine my surprise when she took on something a little brighter with the play of primary colours in one of her latest magazine covers. The end result? Pretty damn perfect, as always. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
A few months ago, my friends and I had gone to a luxury goods sale which took place in town. The brands which were on offer were popular to say the least, and some, more so than others. Amongst them included Givenchy (with its star prints, not-so-friendly rottweiler and almost all-black palette) and Tom Ford. Naturally, many of the sale-goers, including ourselves, headed straight to the Givenchy section.<br />
<br />
Being the sensible shopper that I was (<i>not sarcasm!), </i>I was quite amused to see about a dozen women clambering to get their hands on the remaining <a href="https://www.net-a-porter.com/sg/en/product/433264/givenchy/medium-antigona-bag-in-black-goat-leather" target="_blank">Givenchy Antigona</a> bags on display. With these bags going at over 50% off their original price, the hype that surrounded these babies seemed totally normal.<br />
<br />
Except that the bags were in a bright purple shade. Never mind that they were made of suede, either.<br />
<br />
As this situation took place before my eyes, I found myself trying to rationalise such a purchase:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>A purple bag can't be that bad, right? It could make a bold statement. I'm sure these people have something in their wardrobe that would go great with this bright bag...</li>
<li>Suede is hard to maintain, that's for sure, but that's a small price to pay given that it's an Antigona, no? </li>
<li>Perhaps I could sell this bag on Carousell if it doesn't grow on me in the next few days? I don't know... I don't <i>have </i>to decide what I'm going to do with it now, do I? Buy first, think later?</li>
</ol>
<br />
As much as I tried, it still didn't make sense to me. In fact, it felt as it I was deluding myself. Shortly after this, I found the situation to be even more fascinating as I overhead a lady telling her friend, "It's the Antigona, babe. Take it, take it, take it." <br />
<br />
This fleeting observation has somehow stuck with me even till now, because it made me look at the bigger picture and realise the following:<br />
<br />
More and more people (admittedly, including myself) have become 'blind' as to the things that we really <u>need</u> or the experiences which we can gain <u>genuine satisfaction</u> from. Instead, we are reaching out for material possessions that we are constantly told to <u>have</u> or <u>want</u>, simply because they have been marketed to appear so damn coveted, exclusive and life-changing.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Having said that, what makes us covet 'it'? </b></i><br />
<i><br /></i>
The whole obsession with 'it' can stem from numerous factors, but given the context in which I have set for you today in this blog post, I am particularly interested to share about the possible reasons behind our obsession with 'It Bags'.<br />
<br />
If you are not familiar with the term, I believe that an 'It Bag' is one which has propelled to cult status due to its stylish design and expert craftmanship, or due to the nature in which it has been presented to the consumer that appears highly desirable.<br />
<br />
Let's talk about the latter.<br />
<br />

<b>Case study: Alexa Chung and Longchamp </b><br />
<br />
Alex Chung is a British model and presenter who's known for her effortless and slightly boyish style of dressing. Often sported in denim, classic Breton-striped tops and the occasional 60's-style mini dress, Alexa is particularly well-known in the US and the UK. She has fronted countless magazine covers and has even recently hosted a short documentary series for VOGUE UK's YouTube channel. But more impressively, her true strength lies in her ability to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2012/mar/18/alexa-chung-fashion-design-clothes" target="_blank">sell</a>.<br />
<br />
With collaborations and endorsements for big names such as Mulberry, Eyeko and denim brand AG Jeans by <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">Adriano Goldschmeid, it appears that whenever Chung is </span></span><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">involved</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">, the people and the media are most likely to lap it up, real quick. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">Alexa Chung's influence did quite a number on me, as her ongoing endorsements for Longchamp have actually <i>altered</i> my perception of the French luxury goods company. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><br />Allow me to explain. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">As long as I could remember, Longchamp was the brand that <i>sensible </i>women would go for. (Read: boring; NOT fashion-forward). My mom had been a fan of the brand ever since the late 90's - her first encounter with the brand was through an ad in a magazine which showcased the brand's line of leather bags, and she was particularly drawn to their quality leather and classic designs. </span><br />
<br />
While there is no doubt that quality leather bags with classic designs are able to stand constant wear and tear, are these 'features' alone able to constantly appeal to the ever-changing luxury consumer and stand the test of time?<br />
<br />
Enter Alexa Chung.<br />
<br />
Being the influential style icon that she was, Alexa Chung's association with the Longchamp brand created quite the buzz among the public and people started taking notice of the brand again. When the Longchamp ads featuring Alexa first appeared in some of my favourite glossies, I was pleasantly surprised by the partnership. And pretty impressed too.<br />
<br />
As a fan of (admittedly 'younger' and 'cooler') brands such as Valentino, Stella McCartney and Chloe, I found myself drawn to what was previously known as an 'classic' and 'safe' brand, to a brand that had managed to successfully transform into something more youthful and appealing to today's luxury consumer.<br />
<br />
To sum it up, the right spokesperson or ambassador can do wonders for your brand's image. Yes, big numbers (such as a person's Instagram and Snapchat follower count) are more 'tangible' ways of determining a person's ability to 'sell', but other factors ought to be included too.<br />
<br />
Upon flipping through the latest glossies on the newstands, you'll find the 'Kendalls' and 'Gigis' dominating the ad spaces. Their appeal lies in their 'self-made' celebrity status with their impressive social media following, which mainly consists of young female adults and the fashion-conscious crowd.<br />
<br />
Whichever product or new campaign that these new faces attach themselves to, it is almost guaranteed a sell-out and it will remain a hot topic on the Net for the days to follow.<br />
<br />
A black leather bag is ordinary. But when the new golden girl in fashion carries it, it now becomes <i>the </i>bag to have for the year.<br />
<br />
Now, give a quick think about the latest bag which you had been eyeing recently. How did you come to learn about it? Are you able to pinpoint what <i>exactly</i> about it that makes you covet it so much?<br />
<br />
When you reflect on your motivations behind wanting to purchase a certain item, you will soon realise the effects that these 'endorsements', 'celebrity associations' and 'marketing strategies' have played in your decision-making.<br />
<br />
The reasons behind a bag's popularity and 'success' that drove it to its 'It' status, are attributed to a variety of factors that those people in the marketing department are more than aware of.<br />

<br />
"I brought a book. I'm going to read it during the bus ride," Ayesha texts me the day before we had embarked on a journey to a place that was remote, relatively unknown, and frankly quite beautiful in its own way. This bus ride that Ayesha spoke of was a long (but thankfully not an arduous) one.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Setting off from Toa Payoh with a lime green suitcase and a camera in tow, we reached our destination two hours later. Travelling to anywhere in Singapore usually does not require such a long time given that Singapore is tiny, really. An hour of travelling time sounds torturous <span id="goog_902913866"></span>enough<span id="goog_902913867"></span>, so you must be wondering: what is this destination that takes a person two hours long to arrive at?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Four words: Lim Chu Kang jetty. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Upon arriving back in Singapore during my university Winter break earlier last month, I'd planned to do a small fashion editorial post but couldn't quite decide on a theme nor location. After much discussion and brainstorming for this mini creative project (over bubble tea and prata, no less!) with Ayesha, we decided on Lim Chu Kang jetty as our shoot location. We'd discovered the place by googling "photogenic places in Singapore," and chancing upon the jetty location was quite the love at first sight. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Compared to most of the places that various online sites had recommended (which looked too bridal/sappy for our liking), we were drawn towards the gritty-looking jetty and its remote location. The theme? Something which I was comfortable and confident in - boyish, or slightly androgynous attire. Believe me when I say I own a couple of dresses and girly skirts in my closet but if you haven't known by now, I'm a <i>boy's girl</i>. Give me a pair of jeans, a loose button down shirt, and a rad jacket and I'm good to go.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi there! Sorry for the lack of updates - we have so much to catch up on! Truth be told, I've been itching to create some of my own creative content but the ideas never seem to come into fruition.. I have a few ideas up my sleeve, and this I promise to you - it will happen soon, right here on this blog! In the mean time, I'd like to share with you a feature piece that I did for my school assignment this semester.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<b style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Building the story </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The looming assignment deadline posed as a major stress factor as I was writing this piece, but I also felt really excited to be writing about something I love - Seventies fashion. For this piece, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tanja Gacic, a Sydney-based blogger at <a href="http://www.myempiricallife.com/tag/tanja-gacic/" target="_blank">My Empirical Life</a> and online contributor for Vogue.com.au. <span style="line-height: 150%;">I hope you enjoy reading this piece as much as I did writing it. I'll see you real soon. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">Surprise!
The Seventies are back and it looks like they’re here to stay. Many remember
the Seventies as a decade of change and controversy. It saw the birth of the
first ‘test-tube’ baby, the founding of Microsoft and most famously, American
President Richard Nixon’s resignation and the Watergate scandal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Seventies also played a huge
role in shaping popular culture. John Travolta’s hip-thrusting dance moves in
the film <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Saturday Night Fever </i>paved
the way to a new disco era; The Beatles’ disbandment broke a million girls’
hearts around the world; and the high<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>waisted bell bottom became a wardrobe
staple in every woman’s (and man’s) closet.</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">As the saying goes: “What’s passed
is past.” It isn’t so in this case, seeing that the spirit of the Seventies was
brought back to life on the catwalk and on the big screen during the recent
years. Fashion houses from Saint Laurent and Chloé to Australian-born labels
Bec & Bridge and Zimmermann presented runway collections that paid homage to
the Seventies, while films including </span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">The
Runaways </i><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">and </span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">American Hustle </i><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">illustrated
the prominence of the decade to its viewers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>The Seventies were all about the music, the feeling of freedom, the changes in attitude and world view… What I love most about the Seventies was the fashion.</i></span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"> </span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">What exactly made the Seventies so
darn fascinating? “The Seventies were all about the music, the feeling of
freedom, the changes in attitude and world view… What I love most about the
Seventies was the fashion,” shares Tanja Gacic, a Sydney-based creative
director and online contributor for Australian Vogue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">For starters, dressing up in the
Seventies was more of a form of individual expression than it was about fitting
in. Many social movements and protests took place then as people became more vocal
about fighting for their rights. The diversification of social groups meant that
regardless of the cause that you stood by, you’d have the liberty of expressing
yourself through the way you dress.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The hippie culture was one of the
strongest youth cultures during the Seventies. Adhering to values like peace,
love and community, the hippies practiced what they preached. They were proud
advocates of environmentalism back then, hence they lived a nomadic lifestyle
by embracing looser clothing and handcrafted jewellery that was made out of
feathers and beads. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“The style of the early Seventies was
really about wide high waisted trousers and jeans, silk shirting and beautiful knitted
blazers. The palette during this period revolved around quite earthy tones so we’re
working through colours like chocolates, beiges and stones,” says Sarah Harris,
fashion features editor at British Vogue<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">. </b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">Music and fashion have always
gone hand-in-hand, hence it was no surprise that Stevie Nicks of
British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac was known to many as the Queen of ‘hippie-style’.
Describing her style as “Bohemian-Chic”, the singer’s signature style revolved
around billowy chiffon dresses, layered jewellery and flowing scarves. </span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nostalgia hits hard when one watches
Fleetwood Mac’s live performance of “Rhiannon” in 1976. Guitarist Lindsey
Buckingham’s solo was undoubtedly impressive, but it was Nicks’ powerful vocals
and outfit that truly stole the show. As she croons “Rhiannon” into the
microphone, Nicks’ shaggy layered hair becomes the centre of attention and the
bell sleeves of her dress move ever so dramatically while she dances on stage as
if she was in a trance. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">In an interview with Nylon magazine,
Nicks explains: “I realized that wearing a poncho or a long shawl gave me
something to work with up on the stage. Big movements, big twirls… you need to
be seen from far away. So I made that a big part of my stage clothes. It became
totally intertwined in my fashion style.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The revival of the Seventies hippie style was seen
everywhere over the recent years. Singer Florence Welch of English rock band Florence
and the Machine bears a striking resemblance to Nicks – both possess soulful
vocal styling and a penchant for ankle-length dresses. ‘Hipsters’ at music festivals
were spotted wearing flower crowns, crotchet bikinis and suede boots, and the
style was further popularised by celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Nicole
Richie and Kate Moss. </span></span><br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>I really wanted to capture something confident, but still with a carefree spirit.</i></span><span style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"> </span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Clare Waight Keller, Creative Director at Chloé </span></i></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">While these references proved that
Stevie Nick’s covetable style was widely celebrated by many, it was French
fashion house Chloé that paid the perfect tribute to the singer’s style. <o:p></o:p> During the label’s Fall 2015
collection showcase earlier this year, creative director Clare Waight Keller presented
an updated version of the hippie-chic Seventies style </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">that matched the
lifestyle and needs of the modern-day woman. Speaking to style.com about the collection, Waight Keller shares: "I really wanted to capture something confident, but still with a carefree spirit." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Models sported centre-parted locks
and sauntered down the catwalk as Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon” plays in the
background. Airy chiffon pieces were juxtaposed with tailored outerwear, while understated accessories like the leather satchel and ankle boots completed the
looks.<o:p></o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>On the other end of the fashion
spectrum, those who weren’t big on joining the ‘Earth-loving’ family turned to
a place of glamour for style inspiration. Enter Studio 54: The hottest
nightclub in the mid-Seventies that was known for its opulence and
excessiveness. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In contrast to the laid-back nature
of ‘hippie’ dressing, disco dressing was much more flamboyant. Everything about
it was loud – the people, the clothes and especially the music. Comfort
certainly wasn’t key in dressing for these club-hopping folks as fabrics such
as lycra, spandex and polyester were used for the garments. Judging by the
clothes worn back then, it is plausible to assume that these disco-maniacs were
firm believers of the saying: “the higher and shinier – the better.” </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><i>The idea of wearing platform shoes, form-fitting sequinned flare pants and over-the-top jewellery all at once sounds like a serious fashion faux pas waiting to happen.

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The idea of wearing platform shoes, form-fitting
sequinned flare pants and over-the-top jewellery all at once sounds like a
serious fashion faux pas waiting to happen. Are these seemingly outrageous trends
even relevant in today’s context? </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I believe trends like lamé, disco
dresses and bell bottoms can always be made new, cool and contemporary - however
a camel toe cannot!” exclaims Gacic. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">True enough, the grit and glamour of
the Seventies disco era was revisited earlier this year by haute couture
fashion house Balmain and David O’ Russell’s latest flick </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">American Hustle.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For Balmain’s Fall 2015 collection, creative director
Olivier Rousteing showcased jewel-toned separates, accordion-pleated dresses
and wide palazzo pants. The liberal usage of fringe, lace and velvet in the pieces
further proved that any one of the pieces would look right at home in Studio
54.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“This collection was inspired by the
Seventies, hence lots of colours including mustard, purple and orange were in
my designs. I was excited to introduce new cuts like striped flare pants into
the collection. What I love about the Seventies is the freedom of discovering and
the freedom of loving what is different,” shares Rousteing<span style="font-family: inherit;"> in an interview with Style.com. </span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;">On the less literal front, the
costumes in crime-drama flick <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">American
Hustle </i>presented a much more tasteful depiction of the Seventies disco era.
<o:p></o:p>Amy Adams’s character dons cleavage-baring jumpsuits,
sequinned dresses and outlandish fur coats in the film. Jennifer Lawrence’s
character on the other hand sports a halter neck gown and favours silk jersey
wrap dresses.</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;">There's something so exuberant and expressive about clothes from
the Seventies that just really appeals to me. There’s a sense of fun, the
prints are loud, the fabrics are stiff, and the lines are exaggerated… It was a
pleasure to be around them,” says Michael Wilkinson, costume designer of the
Oscar-nominated film. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">In order to emulate
the provocative styles of dressing during the disco era, Wilkinson looked to fashion
designers including Roy Halston Frowick and Diane von Furstenberg for
inspiration. “I mixed high-end vintage designer pieces - Halston, Gucci, Diane
von Furstenberg, Christian Dior and Ozzie Clark - and custom made costumes,
combining strong dramatic lines with soft, sensual fabrics,” shares Wilkinson.</span><br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Halston turned fashion on its ear
in the over-accessorised sixties by blending simple, pared-down silhouettes
with the most luxurious fabrics,” shares Patricia Mears, deputy director of The
Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As for von Furstenberg, she came up
with a design so versatile that women could go straight from the office to the
dance floor. Known as ‘the wrap dress,’ the design has since been worn by
countless celebrities till today such as Oprah Winfrey and Katherine Middleton, the Duchess of
Cambridge. When asked about the reason behind the creation of the wrap dress,
von Furstenberg replied: “Well, if you’re trying to slip out without waking a
sleeping man, zips are a nightmare.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That being said, Halston’s
minimalistic approach to fashion and von Furstenberg’s understanding of woman’s
sartorial needs both created a huge impact in fashion during the Seventies
disco era. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“All in all, the Seventies gave us
so many trends. It's really not a unified era style-wise. We saw new tech
fabrics, leisure suits, flares, turtlenecks and dancing queen dresses…When you
look at the trends at the beginning of that era, compared to the end… really, a
lot has happened. Be it tomorrow or a few years later, designers will always
revisit key design ideas - especially ones as varied as the Seventies brought
us!” shares Gacic.</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">By the looks of it, it seems pretty
evident that the world is ready to embrace the return of the<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>Seventies with
open arms. Then again, has it ever really left?</span></div>

People ask me if I ever exercise.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well... of COURSE I DO.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shopping counts as a form of physical exercise, right? Right???</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm pretty sure my friends would give me the eye-roll and shake their heads whenever I try to justify myself with this answer. Hahahaha. I mean, it does involve lots of walking (so many shops, so little time!), heavy-lifting (shopping bags plus piles of clothes that you had to try on in the store) and running even! (When there's a sale, that is.) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now that I've made my point (although it sounds downright unconvincing haha), I'd like to take this time to share with you three things I recommend that you think about before making a purchase:</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>1. Fit is key</b><br />
It is important to find clothes that fit well so that you can look your best. For example, you try on THE perfect dress at a perfect price, but you realise that it doesn't fit well in the bust and waist area. There are two ways you can go from here: one, purchase it and take it to the tailor's to have it altered or two, leave the dress behind and never.look.back. It is hard to let go of something which you really like, but if you know that you'll never make that trip to the tailor's, then it's better to save your money and look for another dress that fits better.<br />
<br />
There have been many so many occasions where I find myself making this mistake. I usually give in to the temptation of discounted prices and 'fancy' designs that I completely disregard the fit of the clothing. The more you repeat this mistake, the more ill-fitting clothes you find piling up in your closet.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Do your homework </b><br />
Well, if you take shopping as seriously as I do, you must understand that the key to a great purchase requires one to be resourceful. This applies to both physical and online shopping.<br />
<br />
Online clothing sites including <a href="http://asos.com/" target="_blank">ASOS</a>, <a href="http://missguided.com/" target="_blank">Missguided</a> and <a href="http://boohoo.com/" target="_blank">Boohoo</a> often have flash sales. Online discount codes sound really exciting, but you must remember to read the fine print. Check the terms and conditions and don't forget to read the 'Delivery' and 'Shipping' information available on the site. This is to ensure that there are no 'hidden' or additional charges that you might have overlooked.<br />
<br />
I also bookmark several sites that provide the latest updates on online sales and I read magazines such as Shop Til You Drop and Lucky as they provide readers with the latest shopping deals and fashion trends.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Value for money?</b><br />
Always, always, think about how this particular item of clothing will go with the rest of your wardrobe. Several questions that I like to think about include: one, where and how often do I see myself wearing this? two, does this go with what I already have in my wardrobe? three, do I already own something similar? and four, does the material/workmanship of this clothing <i>somewhat</i> justify the price that I'm paying for it?<br />
<br />
It is normal to feel the need to purchase something because "it's just so cheap!!!" but resist the urge and remind yourself to make smarter decisions when shopping. Save that $9.99 - (this sounds ironic when used in this context but really, a cent saved is a cent earned.) Also, as much as you are 'really digging' the trendy neon colour and the cute prints on this T-shirt, chances are you'll never wear it out, except for 'future outdoor events/festivals' that you try to convince yourself will happen in the very near future. Buy clothes that fit the body and the lifestyle that you are in now.<br />
<br />
Now that you've fully understood the 3 commandments when it comes to shopping, I wish you the best of luck during your next shopping trip! Remember, don't give in to the discounted price tag..... *chants phrase repeatedly* I'll see you real soon!<br />
<br /></div>

Hey there! Just thought I'd drop by and post a quick update. The school semester at UWA has ended and we're in the middle of the examination period. I've submitted all my major assignments and am in the midst of prepping for my German examination on 12 Nov. Afterwards, it's freeeeedom! *insert dancing twins emoji* </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, it's nice to be able to throw on a T-shirt and jeans when I head out, seeing that the weather is finally warming up. It's been real fun bundling up and piling on layers, but now it's time to make way for clothes that are more appropriate for Spring. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Does that mean shorter hemlines and brighter colors? Haha not exactly! I haven't had time to scope for affordable clothes around Perth, hence the lack of new 'finds' to show you guys. Instead, i'm bringing out my old favourites: graphic T-shirts, comfy pants and fun accessories :)</div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Clockwise: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><b>Studio Tangs black and leopard print sandals </b>"Wait what? Leopard print?" Haha yes! Didn't know I had it in me to embrace such a crazy print hahaha. Decided to start small by introducing them on my feet first. Leopard prints are tricky. There's a thin line between looking awesome-stylish and looking like Janice from Friends (haha!) I bought these for less than 20SGD during a sale and I look forward to wearing them out!</li>
<li><b>Black and White checkered scarf </b>I always make an effort to bring my scarf everywhere I go. When the weather starts getting chilly again, I can bust this out and make do with this while I head to the nearest heater that I can find hahaha. </li>
<li><b>Bracelets from Lovisa </b>Lovisa sells really affordable accessories and they have sales every now and then. I have a small collection of rings as well, but I always seem to lose them! </li>
<li><b>H&M dark grey crop singlet </b>I bought this back in early June and it costs around 5SGD if I remember correctly. Awesome price aside, this singlet reveals the sides and even a little of the cups of your bra. That makes it a little inappropriate for everyday wear but that can easily be solved by wearing a jacket over it. </li>
<li><b>Forever 21 Oh Snap! tee </b>I've had this shirt for over a year now, and I must say that it's quite the conversation starter. (Go on stranger, you can read my T-shirt... hahahaha) I'm a sucker for fun graphic shirts.</li>
<li><b>Forever 21 James Bond 'Octopussy' tee</b> How rad are those Japanese characters? This tee is very comfy and it goes great with everything in my wardrobe. </li>
<li><b>Zara TRF cropped sweater </b>This is one of the many purchases I made during Zara's sale in July. As far as 'Spring dressing' goes, I am only ready to embrace cactuses, not flowers! haha as Miranda Priestly would say: "Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking." #Queen</li>
<li><b>Zara TRF ripped jeans and Uniqlo cigarette trousers</b> These babies are making a repeat appearance because they really go with almost everything. I can now wear them on their own instead of having to wear tights underneath. Usually warmer weather = shorts and skirts, but I've taken a liking to modest dressing... (hahha who am i kidding) but really, long layers are my kinda thing at the moment. </li>
<li><b>Pavement clutch </b>This is my current OBSESSION, mainly because 1. the print is really awesome and 2. it costs 2.50AUD (shut the front door!!!) haha. I chanced upon this really rad clutch when I was shopping for clothes for my brother at a children's clothing store called Pavement. I can't wait to bring this baby out. </li>
<li><b>T-bar 'Rumble in the Jungle' singlet</b> Well of COURSE I had to get another shirt. haha! Many of the singlets and cropped tees today have really large armholes (why?!) hence i've been looking for one that fits nicely without exposing the sides of my bra. This singlet is pretty much god-sent. At a price of 5AUD, i'll TAKE IT. </li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Soooo that's about it for today! Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great week ahead. Can't wait to be back in Singapore :)</div>

Over the past few weeks, I've accumulated quite a number of photographs of flowers and I'd like to share them with you. We're halfway through Spring already but it's quite cold here... kinda weird to see flowers blooming despite the chilly weather! Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy looking at these beauties as much as I did :)<br />

Heya! It's only been a few weeks since I've come to Perth and I must say that I'm already homesick!! Missing all the yummy food and my loved ones real bad. But well, dwelling on the past and on things that I can't control is pretty much a waste of time. It's about time I appreciate what's around me instead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm really loving the weather in Perth right now. It's a good 15-20 degree celsius. It's a tad chilly at night, but nothing a warm blanket, socks and a hot water bottle can't fix! I must admit that the weather was too cold for comfort when I first came over (that was on 19th Jul), but now the weather's just right. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dressing for the weather now is an absolute pleasure! I look forward to dressing up everyday (on top of attending classes la hahaha) for school. Back in Singapore, you'd never want to layer jackets on top of sweaters, seeing that Singapore is perpetually hot and humid. But here, I can layer on several clothing and I feel snug and comfortable throughout the day. </div>

Here's a breakdown of what my fall wardrobe consists of. These items were purchased over a period of several months. (Ain't nobody got money to buy all of these at one shot, honey! Haha) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Black handbag w/ shoulder strap (from Bugis Street!) </b>This particular bag design became popular two years back I think. The original bag was in brown and it was sold at Zara when Olivia Palermo carried it first (see <a href="http://gooutfitters.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/how-to-wear-zara-olivia-palermo.html" target="_blank">here</a>) The bag costs 30SGD if I remembered correctly! </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>'New York' notebook from Typo </b>I purchased this notebook a few months back, but didn't get to use it till recently! I jot down all my notes and reminders in this notebook. It helps that it has inserts as well so I can store worksheets inside without having to bring an additional file. This cost me less than 10SGD. I think I bought it when they were having a offer, 2 for 10SGD if i'm not wrong.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Elle Australia August 2014</b> I was very much a Girlfriend/Dolly/Seventeen kinda girl, but not anymore! Haha. I like the stories and content that Elle AUS provides. I first became a fan of theirs just a few months back. Their layouts are very easy on the eyes. I recently purchased Lucky US and Company UK, but haven't gotten around to reading them yet. The magazine costs 8.50AUD. A tad pricy, I must say. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Black and White checkered scarf </b>I honestly don't remember where I got this from! Or how much it costs, but I've had this for years. It's my go-to (and only) scarf. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Rosebullet Black and Blue bomber jacket w/ faux leather sleeves </b>Am excited to wear this out real soon! Pairing it with my UWA Varsity T-shirt sounds just about right. Might just post a #ootd about it soon :) I bought this at a sale for 20AUD</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Army Green + camouflage scarf</b> This is a pretty small scarf so I wear this as a head scarf/hair accessory instead. I can't recall how I got it, but here's a <a href="http://websta.me/p/768682610688523266_28106790" target="_blank">pic of m</a>e wearing it recently :D Ever since I've had bangs, I've begun to experiment with hair accessories too. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Zara TRF white tee </b>The pic above doesn't do the t-shirt justice! It's actually a shirt with a burger and it has the phrase 'Holybite' on it! You can see how it looks like <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/144255994289612379/" target="_blank">here</a>. I like how the shirt design makes an obvious reference to the original Versace Logo. (see <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/Versace_logo.png" target="_blank">here</a>) The shirt cost me 19.90SGD</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Paper Scissors Military-esque dress </b>I like that it looks like a military nurse/flight attendant/waitress uniform hahaha. And of course, it's army green + black in colour so it goes well with my other outfits. I bought this at a sale, where two clothing items = 15AUD. I bought four clothing items in total and the other three are...</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Paper Scissors Patterned sweater</b> I dub this the 'cheesy christmas sweater' hahaha. Thank God it came in black and white instead of red and white. Oh the horror! hahaha but I must admit it can still look quite cute in that geeky/nerdy way. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Paper Scissors 'Amour' white sweater </b>This sweater is a little too big for me but that's what I like about it! I can easily tuck it in when I'm wearing jeans or roll down the sleeves when I feel cold. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Chic-a-Booti navy blue and white striped cropped sweater</b> It's a little senseless to have a cropped sweater because sweaters are supposed to keep you warm, but having it cropped exposes the wearer's person's mid-drift = whaaaat? haha nonetheless, I can still pair it with a high-waisted maxi skirt. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Zara Knit beige knit sweater w/ thunderbolts </b>I fell in love with the adorable thunderbolt pattern and it's great to layer over my thermal sweaters. My sister's comment when she first saw this sweater was "hey! Harry Potter haha" It didn't occur to me that people would think of The Boy Who Lived but it's a nice reference tho! This cost me either 19.90 SGD or 29.90SGD</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Zara TRF black boots </b>This is the only pair of covered shoes that I brought with me to Perth. It's super comfy and it goes with all of my outfits! I got this a size larger than my usual size so that I could wear it with thick socks whenever it gets chilly. This cost me 49.90SGD. Pricey! </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Zara TRF ripped jeans</b> I've been looking for ripped jeans for MONTHS and this came as a blessingggg (haha so dramatic sorry!) They are slightly ripped at the knees and they go with everything. Dress 'em up with a pair of heels, dress 'em down with flat sandals, which are very much in trend right now. The jeans cost 39.90SGD. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Tortoiseshell sunglasses</b> (purchased at a pasar malam! No kidding!) You can get similar styles at some hipster store for 200SGD.... or get one from the nearby night market instead! Haha this cost 10SGD. I used to have a pair of black sunglasses but they broke :( </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Zara TRF high-waisted stonewash jeggings </b>Apparently, only basic bitches wear jeggings/leggings hahahaha but really, these are super comfy. They are a little high-waisted which is perfect, because you would want to prevent an ass-crack display situation from happening... right? RIGHT??? (at this point I sound a little delirious idk why. I think i'm just hungry sorry) The jeggings cost me 19.90SGD, I think. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Uniqlo cigarette trousers</b> If you haven't realised, I'm a big fan of androgynous dressing. This pair of trousers go great with button-down shirts. I've worn mine with a skinny tie, a dress shirt and a vest for my graduation. I mean hey, go big or go home! Nailing the look completely is fun. The trousers cost me 29.90SGD. Def. worth the price because they are comfy and they fit great.</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Um so this post turned out waaaay lengthier than I envisioned it to be! I hope you enjoyed this little update. I'll be back soon to share about how and why I ended up here in Perth. Thanks for stopping by! </div>

I've unofficially graduated from school!!! *cue raining confetti*<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's great to be able to finally take a breather, but I've been slacking too much at home and I've become extremely lazy. All I ever seem to do is sleep, eat and watch TV shows on my laptop. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is really bad. Like, Michael Jackson Bad. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And SOOO, I thought I'd spend some time whipping together this small write-up that I did for my magazine editing module in school and share it with you guys! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This write-up was really fun to do as I like how the most unexpected things (like desserts, in this case) can actually represent topics that many of us are familiar with (couples, dating). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am definitely not a staff with experience in the love department, but the idea of describing different kinds of couples by using desserts sounded like a pretty interesting idea to me. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My six-month internship with a pretty kick-ass
Public Relations and Communications Firm ended a few days ago. It’s crazy how
time seems to go by so slowly at the start but when the end is near, it whizzes
past you and before you know it, you’re entering the workforce and you’re paying
your own bills (oh the horror).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We often think that our lives will miraculously
get better when we start earning our own money, or when we turn 21. Surprise,
surprise! It doesn’t. It only gets better when we actually DO STUFF to get
better.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Why so
pessimistic, Sheryl? Cheer up man. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Truth is, I somehow enjoy discussing about these
so-called ‘depressing’ issues in life rather than gush about how an amazing,
perfect life in the near future awaits me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My internship wasn’t life changing, but
something really important hit home. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I decided that it was about time I changed
a few of my really bad habits. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are some changes I am determined to make.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Change
#1: Complain less about my parents and love them more </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I couldn’t stop complaining to my friends about
my parents. There was a period when things were pretty bad at home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I know it’s frustrating when our parents just
don’t get us. They question the people we hang out with, they won’t stop
nagging at us about our dressing and our tardiness and they just simply don’t trust us with decisions or basically
with anything at all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But then again, have we been too self-centered
and selfish in our thinking?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Have we taken the time to understand how THEY
feel? When was the last time we had a good talk with them about anything? From
our career decisions to even the smallest things, like what we ate for lunch? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s probably an ‘Asian’ kinda thing but as
children, I know that we don’t usually have ‘discussions’ or ‘sharing sessions’
with our parents. It’s super tough to get to them. It’s tough! But it’s not
impossible. We should keep trying to make the relationship work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You’d think that adults like our parents or
teachers would have their lives figured out. You’re wrong. They’re probably
still screwing up.” – Young or old, we’re all trying to make of this world
we’re living in. We’re just human. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>“Constantly
remind yourself that your parents aren’t going to be around forever.” </b></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I must admit that it’s quite depressing to fill
my mind with such kinds of thoughts but honestly; doing so has made me cherish
my parents more.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I try to make an effort to not hear, but listen
to what they are saying. Perhaps what they need is to have someone dear to them
(yes, you!) to listen to their complaints or their daily ramblings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What I’ve yet to figure out is to balance my
happiness and theirs. I want to make my parents happy. I want them to live a peaceful
life. But what if they are doing so at the expense of MY happiness? I still
believe that everyone can be happy, although I am not quite sure how to get
there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Change
#2: Quit it with the bitching</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You don’t know meh? She’s damn xxx one. She’s
such a xxx<b>” <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gossiping is probably every girl’s favorite
past time. There are times when we can’t help but feed our friends with
‘shocking news’ or with the latest rumors. Doing so does more harm than you
think. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am guilty of gossiping and I always feel terrible
after doing so. Sometimes, we do it because we face peer-pressure. We feel
compelled to contribute when our friends discuss intensely about xxx’s
boyfriends or the countless mistakes that someone in the workplace or at school
has made. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">But
remember, speaking ill of someone says more what kind of person YOU are than
the person’s apparent ‘wrong-doings’. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Every time I’m tempted to share about a
person’s ‘dirty secrets’, I put myself in the person’s shoes. I would feel
terrible if people were to spread rumors about me or make assumptions about how
I’m dealing with my life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I will choose to stay silent instead. I’m
learning to be sensitive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #073763;">Change
#3: Get up on my feet and handle my own shit </span><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve been waaaay too reliant on my parents and
on the people around me. I’ve been so dependent on others. I couldn’t get stuff
done on my own. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I figured out that I’m more of a taker than a
giver, whether in love, in friendship or in any kind of relationship. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>At
home:</b> I’ve always had help at
home. My domestic helper would help me clean my room, iron my clothes and
prepare my meals. Let’s not forget my mom a.k.a the Superwoman, who’s a pro
with household chores. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, I’m learning to do the dishes. I clean my
room from time to time. I pay my phone bills. Cultivating such habits take time
but I’m determined to see through the entire ‘getting independent’ process. <b>I figured out that sooner or later in life,
I have to be on my own</b> and I need to know how to get around to living. Yes,
I’m getting domesticated. Don’t expect me to bake an apple pie though! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>At
work: </b>One grave mistake I made
during internship was to not speak up about my interests and abilities. I feel
that <b>work is not all about getting a
nice paycheck or getting that promotion.</b> Instead, work is about pushing
yourself to perform better. Challenge yourself to not screw that presentation
up. Prove to yourself that you’re capable of handling a difficult client. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sadly, I did not make full use of my
opportunities during my internship. It’s depressing how my supervisor only
learnt about my abilities and skills during the end of my internship. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I do not want to make the same mistake again.
From now on, I’ll remind myself that I am worthy and capable of doing great
things. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Let
us all muster the courage to change for the better before the tough obstacles
in life get the better of us! </i></span></b></div>

I was hoping to volunteer for this year's Audi Fashion
Festival (AFF) but due to my internship, I wasn't able to commit for all five
days. I was prepared to keep up with all the hype by checking out the fashion
news behind the computer screen. Sucks right, I know. <o:p></o:p></div>

.......Then my prayers were answered! Haha. My friend E
asked me on Saturday if I could go down to the fashion tent to volunteer and of
course i said yes! Sad-turday became a whole lot better for me.<o:p></o:p></div>

This year's festival was held at the Marina Bay Promenade
and it was a refreshing change. It's pretty awesome to hold an iconic annual
event like this at such a scenic location. The highlight of Saturday's line-up was definitely
Peter Pilotto for me. <o:p></o:p></div>

The label, which is led by designers Peter Pilotto and
Christopher De Vos, has gained much popularity over the years for its striking
graphic prints and textiles. Don a Peter Pilotto dress and you're sure to
impress. (that rhymed!! ok sry) <o:p></o:p></div>

It was such a lovely sight to see guests flocking into the
runway hall in their Peter Pilotto dresses. The women looked attractive and
very put-together. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the first dress debuted on the runway, there was a lot
of excited murmuring (does that expression even make sense?) and when the music
started pumping louder, we all knew it was gonna be gooooood. (So sorry about
the crappy photos!)<o:p></o:p></div>

<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">You’ve turned into a human pendulum – bobbing your head unconsciously
from side to side when you doze off in the train. You find your head occasionally hitting the person’s shoulder beside you by accident. When it
comes to naps, EVERY MINUTE COUNTS</span></li>

me for sounding like crazy fan girl but Brad Goreski is perfection. How is it
that he can pull off such bright and punchy colors so confidently, and I dare
say, even better than any female fashionista out there? I guess he was born to
be fabulous. I don’t know. But whatever it is he’s up to, it’s definitely
working. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

British boy shot to stardom due to his stellar performance in the hit musical

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let’s
not forget that he famously donned a trench coat and cozied up to Cara
Delevingne for Burberry’s campaign video, which goes on to show that this man
(or should I say mayyyyneee. haha ok no) is making people all over the world sit
up and take notice of his impeccable style. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ll
be really honest here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I
know nothing about football/soccer/whatthemguyscall it, so when I first came
across Hidetoshi’s picture in one of the many streetstyle websites I follow, I
assumed that he was one of those hot Asian ‘exports’ whose job was to model and
DJ on the side or something. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A
quick Google check (hot guys are worth googling, especially image search) was
when I realized he was a retired football player who was one of the most famous
Asian footballers in his generation. Woah. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Apart
from the fact that Hidetoshi has played well on the field, his execution when
it comes to his style also scores a goal for me. (I tried) His style is all about being confident, being
experimental while sticking to classics like a good ol’ pair of jeans and a
leather jacket. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I can’t blame her though. Here’s what I normally do when I
prepare for these entries:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Step 1: Look through magazines and websites</li>
<li>Step 2: Narrow down my favorites for the week</li>
<li>Step 3: Stalk the various stylish people by Googling them,
ogling them (wait what) and Wikipedia-fying them.</li>
<li>Step 4: Do some really amateur photoshopping stuff to make the pictures look acceptable</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Step 3 may (I repeat, MAY) take up to a few hours. <o:p></o:p></div>

hair and their ridonkulous figures and long legs and and luscious lips…<o:p></o:p></div>

ASIAN PRIDE YI JI BANG AH! Hahaha. Tina Leung’s crazy cool.
She owns the suits, that hair of hers and those drool-worthy handbags. She has
a penchant for playing with proportions, with her oversized coats and her
over-the-knee boots, not to forget that she’s know for wearing evening gowns as
everyday wear. Heck, she even pulls off a men’s suit better than any man out
there! <o:p></o:p></div>

Kate Lanphear’s mostly-black mantra is so awesome, and so,
so fly. She may have her all-black outfits but take note of the different cuts,
textures, and fabrics of her garments. Now that’s something, isn’t it? <o:p></o:p></div>

Kate may come across as intimidating to you but I’d like to

You want the MILF, you’ve got the MILF. Leather jacket,

Alba’s street style looks. You may find them ‘predictable’ or even ‘boring’ but
I reckon that she’s consistently stylish and that ain’t easy. <o:p></o:p></div>

I’m so biased I bet it’s getting on people’s nerves. Alexa
Chung has been one of my favorites since forever. I cannot recall how I
got to know about her, but she strikes me as a fun, cheeky and stylish Brit
chick. I remember wanting a pair of Superga sneakers so badly back in early
2012 even before they were famous in Singapore just because she was the face
(or more like feet) of the brand. But now… (dammit, Rita! Haha) <o:p></o:p></div>

Well I did! Haha. The things I've done aren't exactly <i>that </i>crazy, but what I'm trying to say is that I aim to be unpredictable, exciting and interesting in everything I do and you guys should too.<br />
<br />
I crave the spontaneity and I love the unexpected. I'm usually the wild and wacky one.<br />
<br />
I would egg on my friends to step out of their comfort zones and convince them to do something crazy every now and then.<br />
<br />
But, the tables turned when I started out hanging out with <b>K</b>. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that he was a much more spontaneous person than I am, and that is what I find really admirable and cool about him.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">You can aspire to be unpredictable and exciting in many ways, and one of them is by the way you dress.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #674ea7; color: white;">Take a cue from these people who were spotted in between shows at the recent New York and London Fashion Week Spring 2013. They really stood out and were daring in their dressing. They exude confidence and they aren't afraid of looking different from the others. </span><br />

After browsing through hundreds of Kristen's street-style photos, I was determined to create a look which Kristen would most likely wear. Hence, the 90's-style baggy jacket, the sneakers and the comfy skinny jeans.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I found this jacket lying around at home and realized that it belonged to my younger brother (who's only ten years old). I checked for the label/brand and it said 'Cerisi'. That's a kids apparel line! +50 hipster points for me hahahaha.<br />
<br />
So... do you agree that this is what Kristen would wear? I thought so!<br />

There's just something sexy about a man dressed in a great suit.<br />
There's something even sexier about a woman being suited up too.<br />
<br />
Some things never go out of style, and a great-fitting suit is one of them. Wearing a suit makes you look smart and stylish. Plus, suits can be worn by both men and women alike.<br />
<br />
Spent a fair amount of time scrolling through the Spring '12 runway shows on style.com and found the standard women's suit being spruced up with lighter fabrics, cuts and colors, making suits appropriate and fun for Spring time. The 3-piece suit by Ralph Lauren looks really cool, no?<br />

Nowadays, there are an increasing number of brands that like to pair formal blazers with loose T-shirts underneath in order to create an effortless, but still made-up look. Naturally, the people who love to stay in trend followed suit! (pun unintended)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Although this form of pairing looks stylish and is much more practical for everyday wear, I can always appreciate one's efforts in going all out, dressed in formal suits.</div>
<br />
What got me to do this post was when I saw Elizabeth Olsen being photographed looking stylish in a suit. A red velvet suit, to be exact. I mean, it definitely ain't easy pulling off a velvet suit without being mistaken as a velvet sofa. (Note: Austin Powers)<br />

From celebrities, interesting personalities and to stylish people spotted on the streets, they all know the importance of a good suit. Experiment with different textures, lengths and fits. Go graphic like actress Zoe Saldana, or go all-red like Harper's Bazaar Russia Editor Miroslava Duma. Here are some of my favorites.</div>
