3.5" Peep-toe Satin Pump with Ribbon Detail in Fuschia
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.

misty-moistly dripply-dropply foggy-boggy stuff
Year-end in Singapore spells rain. It means the air is clammier than usual. But also the best (and probably the only!) time to bring out the boots (no pictures from yesterday) and wrap the shawl around my slender neck. Hah!

Leather Watch in Rose-Gold: Espirit, Hyderabad
P.S. The Mother is really getting better at holding the camera steadily. =)

how it should be
I'm still searching around for the ideal dress to The Crazy Boyfriend's house during Lunar New year. What I find on the Internet is wayyy better than what I've been seeing on the streets (i.e. Orchard Road).
Seriously, senseless flashing of redness is disgusting. Or at least I think poorly made dresses in red makes me cringe. It's spring! Dress cheerily, not cheaply.

eve
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.

a more cheery monday
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.

neon *argh*
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!

uniqlo's belt debut
And in retrospect, I wished I had worn knee-high boots instead. Very equestrian I know. =D
White Knitted Top: GG>5
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.

back-to-school
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...

playsuits
Not sure if you've noticed, playsuits (or jumpsuits some may like to call) are gaining the respectable pedestal in the fashion scene. A playsuit look pretty much like a shirt-dress, except it features shorts instead.
The simple cut of the one-piece suit would go very well with signature pumps and/or a good waist belt. Fool-proof look to accentuate a girl's figure and legs. Slip on a pair of gladiator sandals or summer wedges for daytime casual or glam up with patent pumps for night-time seduction.
Unless you are a big fan of Prison Break, you may want to steer clear from loud gaudy colours (think: orange).
In my humble opinion, the one above from TopShop looks a tad like a grandmama's pjs. Try darker colours for beginners. Be careful with floral patterns (though it's making its presence strong in the summer). You don't want to over-accessorise and risk looking 80's and vulgur.

ankle-hungry
White Knitted Top: GG>5
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!
