Weekend church weddings are probably my favourite kind of events. Casual dressy, flowing flowery, windy breezy. You get the idea. =)

This is SWEETNESS overdose. Goes well with a white wedding dress. I think. =)
There's a round-toe pump in cobalt. Just as adorable.
I think I've been fussing too much over pinkish stuff these days. I used to eye them with disdain. Must be the love hormones.
Familiar ensemble. Except I put on a 120 denier black stockings to glam up, befitting for a night out. Added a couple more chucky bracelets on my wrist. A bunch of gerberas and a cow in tow. LOL.

Birthday eve, and I'm desperately nursing a bad case of cold. A refreshing change of new (and darker) hair colour helped to lift the mood up. For a while.
Still, Joyeux Anniversaire.

I look like a bumble bee. I steer clear of horizontal stripes as much as possible (though me thinks guys in strippy rugby shirts are sexy). But when opportunity presents me a cute playsuit at a ridiculously 90%-off sale... I give it a try.
Is it supposed to be a drop-crotch? I'm still figuring.

My one and only loOong skirt makes itself useful as a strapless dress.
So many church weddings to sing for in December, and I've been cracking my lil head over what's appropriate to wear...
Last weekend saw me prancing around the shoe store at Le Meridien. Its Dr. Martens are going at a 15%-20% sale. I stood afixed in front of a pair of white 8-eye patent boots. I'm still counting the loose coins in my piggy bank.
Meanwhile, Front Row @ Ann Siang Hill is bringing the UK edition of neon Dr. Mars.
Argh... Stop giving me more choices!
I don't know if I really understand the idea of dressing for one's age. All you need is confidence, comfort and the pleasure of dressing.

Pleated Skirt: Don't remember...
Double-Buckle Belt: Uniqlo, Shanghai
Patent Heels with Gold Buckle Details: Shoe Loft
I've never found the right clothes match this gorgeous belt on. Everything seems awkward with this belt. But now with the high-waist swashy skirt trend, this belt comes in handy after all!
It's been a long two years since I purchased the belt from Uniqlo from one of my trips to Shanghai. I wandered through the stores for an hour or so and found absolutely nothing that impresses me. (Maybe I don't dig its T-shirts or it's a relatively new store without much variety) Then I saw the belt hanging off a rack in a quiet corner and I blew SG$35 at the snap of the fingers.

Donned in Paul Smith, Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana, the famous cartoon duo gets a makeover to promote the opening of a new Harvey Nichols store. Plasticine never looked so good.
And time for rugby. That's what Ralph Lauren's latest campaign wants you to know. Man, how I miss those days waiting around the field, watching the boys sprinting after the rugby ball and falling into whimsical reverie when they line up for the water cooler and cast you a naughty wink?
I sure wish it's school for me again...

Wouldn't you love to run into a guy like this at your nearest friendly Starbucks? =)
The diamonates of the dress which sits at the breast bone, came off during its last wash. So waisted belt to the rescue!

Jeans: Mango
Black Patent Peep-Toe Wedges: Anne Klein
I used to like the idea of tapered jeans at the ankles. Somehow now I don't. Or maybe it was bad alteration.
I don't know why I did it, but I rolled the cuffs of my odd-length jeans just to make away with the odd sight of the jeans tapering off right at my ankle. And it looks pretty good!
Today also marks the debut of my Anne Klein Wedges! It was bought, 6 months ago, in half size too small (50% sale! Die die must buy) and I have been stuffing the shoes with loads of damp newspaper. 'Pray tell that it fits,' as I slipped my feet into them and tada!
