You know my infatuation with bows. I jump and squeal at first sight of them. Needless to say, when I saw these over at Style Bubble, I was gasping for air.Cor Sine Labe Doli was founder by Antonio Patruno Randolfi, Luigi Arbore and Massimo Mazzilli. All handcrafted out of ceramic by the local expert artisans in Marostica, Italy. The bow is such a simple accessory but done in the most eccentric

Am so into the basic maxi dresses right now and this nautical stripe one is perfect for the season. Pair it with a biker chic denim jacket like this one by Helmut Lang, arm with the oh-so-coveted PS1, put on the perfect sandals by Rachel Comey and finish the look with a straw hat, some geek glasses and bangles.

It's odd how it has been raining quite a bit lately. Ain't it supposed to be summer? Nonetheless, rain or shine, the weather does clear up after several hours and so the footwear of choice would still be sandals. Sandals are staples for our climate and will be better footwear than the national flip flops. I've been constantly looking for new sandals to replace the old ones which i've worn them to

Finnish people are not only known for their designs, their people are equally know for their great sense of style. I'm starting to think it is in their DNA to be aesthetically creative in all sense, from design to dressing.Ranna has always been one of my favorite bloggers and definitely one of those in my style icon list. And even though she closed her english blog, her Finnish one is equally

I've always been a secret fan of the clogs but to avoid being dated, I've never dared try them on. Right now clogs are the hottest footwear on the runway and no longer belong in the 70s (even Alexa Chung is wearing them). These clogs by Jeffrey Campbell are hot hot hot. If I could balance in them for more than a minute, they would be mine in a heart beat. I figured it needs a certain amount of

Can anyone fit these vintage shoes (size 5.5m)? They're too adorable to resist and unfortunately my feet are a size too big. I honestly have a serious issue with this love/hate thing for vintage shoes. Love how cute and comfy they are and I so hate the fact that if it doesn't fit, there's no way I can find another.

It was love at first sight when I past the Zara store display the other day. It was this that made my heart flutter...Unfortunately, I do not possess the height (bad genes) for it but it will look awesome on someone taller. And as usual, I went on ebay looking for similar ones. The vintages ones are usually romper style but to my surprise, I was able to uncover some really awesome pieces that

There aren't many streetstyle blogs in Singapore and some of them come and go very quickly. A new discovery this week - Outre Singapore by James Bent. It's like a mix of The Sartorialist and The Facehunter. Let's keep our fingers crossed that he continues his work and show us what the nation has become - fashion wise.

I'm half sold on the product's ability as I have been fighting adult acne since I turned adult, so much for baby smooth skin during my teens. But the thought of snail extract just gives me the bumps, just like how snails do. Will you?

Saw this the other day whilst shopping at Mango with mummy dearest and I pointed it out to her. Her response? "So girly, not you." And I wondered, Is a person's style/type/taste determined by any factor in particular? It has the perfect type of lace and I shall stand firm, I LIKE! Now, can I pull it off? Is it my style? Where will I wear such a delicate dress to? Image source: asos.com

DO NOT be rationale when making purchases.My biggest regret of the week is the dress below. I saw this tunic at Forever21, tried it on out of curiosity and somehow kinda liked it. But it isn't my usual type of dresses, hence back on the rack it goes (I'm trying to be rationale with my buys). A day later and still thinking about it, I decided to pop by over the weekend to grab it. Horror of horror

Before anything else, Happy new year folks!! it's gonna be an end of a century and a start of a new one. I wish for better years ahead of everyone. Now to the shopping part..As we all know, the best sales starts after Christmas. It's like sucking the moolah out of us during the festivities isn't enough, they plan a post Christmas sale to suck us dry. But which girl doesn't like a good buy. Right?

The internet is a horribly sinful place. And I thought by staying at home I can overcome the temptation to shop, boy am I wrong...Not when there's a sale on asos.com and such an adorable little blue dress like the one above. I can't help but to be drawn to such cute dresses. Sometimes I kinda feel too old for them, but they're just too adorable to resist.What are your weaknesses?

What happens when you fuse a Japanese designer with an Italian fashion house?Well, you get a range of uber cool shoes like these. Especially when its a collaboration between avant garde designer Yohji Yamamoto and the craftsmanship of shoe label Salvatore Ferragamo. Breaking away from the feminine style of Ferragamo`s signature grosgain bow, Yamamoto has designed a range of androgynous hightops,

These vintage tapestry boots may not be as cool as those floral Doc Martens everyone is lusting over, but they're pretty neat too! Not everyday you come across tapestry on a pair of boots. from hereimage via jamesrowlandshop on etsy

I'm not too sure if I've mentioned it, but I've left my job of 2 years before my trip to States. I know many must be thinking I'm nuts, at such difficult times, why would anyone sane leave their jobs. I didn't think it was much of a deal at first, but reality is, the industry is slowing down. Whatever it is, I needed a change and a break. I have been in that rut for the longest time and it is

Okay, I know I haven't been updating this blog for weeks. It's depressing cause my powerbook has officially died and the other available PC/Laptop at home works on a 192RAM or less. So hence the lack of updates. In fact I haven't even been reading any of my favourite blogs. It's just extremely frustrating since I'm free 24/7 to surf the net.Anyway, I came across this via the swirl girls blog, an

Sorry for the long hiatus, I've been on vacation and thou i've been back for more than a week now, I still wish I was away. I guess I left my heart in San Francisco (cheesy!). I fell in love with the city in a heartbeat. And since I've been back the heatwave has been such a killer until today. The lack of coolness in the air has made it difficult to feel inspired with fashion or anything at all.

I'm all psyched and geared up for the coming trip, counting down to Monday, that's 3 days away! After all the extensive research and enquiries, I've narrowed down to 3 MUST BUY dresses. This, this and this!Top piece by Dear Creatures, bottom two by MinkPink. I'm totally in love with the sparrow dress. It was love at first sight, same goes for the uber cute dress by Dear Creatures.Photographs are

Shoes and bags will make or break the outfit. I'm sure many have heard of this before. The right one will bring your outfit back to live, and dramatically change it from sloppy to dramatic. Anyway, I'm not a bag lady or a shoe one. In fact, I'm all of it. I love my clothes, shoes, bags and accessories equally much. I think one can't go without the other and for that, I've compiled a lust over bag

You know how some are born with style as part of their genetic DNA? This little girl is one of them. It was gonna be a post on the amazing print on print layering you see above but then I notice how young AND stylish she is. Only 12 an she's already dressing like a style-meister. Definitely one to look out for. When you're wearing those floral doc martens, you're definitely on my list!see more of

Celebrities, movie cameras and paparazzi. Figured it out yet? Hollywood here I come! I'll be going to San Francisco too. I hope can practice enough self control to not go overboard with the shopping.

I've been out of the whole vintage buying thing for a while. It's definitely not because I've lost  interest but I've cut back on my spending quite a bit. And today, after 2 months, I needed some vintage therapy, just look-see no buying. It's no surprise that many items were clicked into my watch list. And since I can't have them, I think they odd to be shared! I am so into this pair of shoes!

I haven't had a hair cut for the past 5 months, why? I was trying to have my hair grown out to have it cut like this. Unfortunately, the heat has been a killer lately, and it's been getting harder to wash my hair due to the thickness and length. I'm waving the white flag and getting a hair cut today. I love getting a new do. And after collecting so many styles that I'd so love to have, I've

It's no secret I have an obsession with bows. Slap on a pretty bow and I'm sold. No exception when I came across this from Refinery29.com and with a 50% off the original price, why not. But guess what, upon selecting the color blue, it states out of stock. Sigh. Just my luck. Now I just have a pretty bow to admire and lust over.

A colleague of mine just loan me her copy of The One Hundred by Nina Garcia. And it is absolutely a breeze to read, definitely a fashion book every girl has to read, in my opinion. It gives you the low down of the essential 100 things a girl MUST have and some fashion 101 facts. Of course, there are items like coats and fur that are not essential for the tropical girl, but these are still items a

As usual, it's a post full of lusted over items from topshop. I am so lemming towards all the looks created for this season. Light layers, heavy layers, drapes, volume, pastels, neutrals, print on print, it's a never ending list of looks that I'd love to try. But before experimenting, I'd need the required pieces yeah? That's probably the part i love/hate most. Loving the thought of acquiring new
