Obsession #474 - Harlequin

After spotting the Clothes Horse in this Harlequin print dress, it became my new obsession and mission to scrawl through the internet once again. I barely had any luck with ebay nor etsy, nothing came close to what I had in mind until i saw this on the runway of Moschino!

Black & white harlequin printed outfits with awesomely humongous bows! How can one resist? Now I'll just have to sit and wait for highstreet labels to rip off this look into their coming collections. Hurray for highstreet fashion!

Aye aye Captain!

This came in the post last week and now it's back from the dry cleaners. Remember my obsession with blazers and coats with contrast pipings? After a high and low search, scrolling thru pages after pages on ebay and etsy, this is the closest i found to what Blair Waldorf has. They may not be the perfect little coat like hers, but this is good enough. I got this from vintagemode on etsy, but it might not be vintage afterall. My mum thinks it looks formal and claims she used to have something like that (damnit! where is it mummy?). With those cute little collar, huge fabric buttons, fake contrasting pockets and sleeves, I wonder, which part of it screams formal? What the heck, vintage, formal or not, its adorable and I'm loving it.  

Now, what should i be wearing them with? Suggestions, suggestions! Can't wait to put them on.

in the Pink of health

In support of womanhood, victims and survivors of breast cancer, let's try to incorporate Pink into our daily outfits for this entire month of October. Take a cue from these stylish people in the streets. Dress fully in Pink or subtle details in which ever way you prefer. Now I'm desperately trying to dig out whatever Pinks i have in my wardrobe and fit them into my daily wears. 

Let's paint the town Pink!

COMME home with me

I want the pants, jacket, shoes, bag, wallet and shirt! This collection from H&M by Comme des Garcons is so gonna sell out. Polka dots are hard to resist, polka dots by Comme des Garcons is a MUST have. As well as the deconstructed style jackets with oh-so-adorable collars! Peter pan collars + polka dots = ultra cuteness I cannot say no to. God help me get a piece of this collaboration! Even the men's collection is uber cute. Look at those huge dotted bermudas matched with the same tee (looks like a full jumpsuit!).

Sculpture square

Another fantastic dresser spotted by the Facehunter during Paris Fashion Week. The layering looks sculpted and not at all bulky. The sea of blues and dashes of greys are awesome with reds peeping out of some corners. It has the feel of Bottega Veneta's Fall 2008 tone on tone styling but interpreted to streetstyle. Genius!

outfit: Casualness

We've completed our artsy quota for the year all in a Saturday afternoon. Headed to the Singapore Biennale 2008 at the South Beach Development for a look see, there are a few installation pieces that are actually quite good and worth the time. So, I spend my Saturday in a all casual tee and denim ensemble. Something that's comfortable for a humid afternoon, should have swop the jeans for shorts instead! Anyway I threw on a statement necklace to jazz up the outfit a lttle.

We've gotten a confirmation and got a slot at the coming Weekend Bazaar at SMU on the 17/18 Oct! I've never been to one before and i have no idea what the crowd is like. So should there be any students from SMU, please give me a heads up of what to expect. Truly appreciate it. We've got tons of pre-loved goods (ladies and menswear) to clear, some pre-loved vintage from our own collection as well as brand new pieces for sale. Pieces starts from S$5, so come down and shop with us!

Outfit - Past few days

Okay this week came and almost gone in a flash. Fash-bash was great and packed with ladies, it was a fashion mad house, but everyone were nice and polite even with all the squeezing. There were tons of good buys from the various sellers, many were giving 20% off and additional discounts for cash payments etc. I'm sure many had scored fabulous deals from baylene, the pieces were going at a great steal! As far as I'm concerned, I was trying to keep my wallet in my bag for as long as possible. Well, I managed to resist the temptation from all that glorious clothes calling out. Tried a couple of pieces here and there but didn't buy any, I have to save for a trip. Oh, the Swirl girls are lovely! So were many other sellers. Think i spotted a couple of familiar faced, was too shy to say hi. :) Sarah from wottoncool is so much taller in person (compared to photos)!! I felt like a midget standing beside her.

Okay, below is the outfit i wore on Monday. And this photo was taking in the fitting room while trying on my new jumper dress worn yesterday! The top is vintage, from etsy, it's really cute. It has a irregular clown-like collar. The sleeves used to be really long with some puffing and ruffles, but it was way too oversized and I felt it needs less, hence it was shorten. The original can be seen here.

shoes: vintage/ebay

So, here's another doodle of what i wore yesterday, all the shopping and we forgot to take proper photos! And pl was acting shy and all. I was pulling off the jumper straps to try on clothes at the individual stalls, no image retained! Oh, and i have a new do! To quote my hair stylist, it's a boxy bob. Looks more round than boxy to me. But nonetheless, i LOVE it! I've never really dislike any cut done by him. His cuts last pretty long for a short hair standard. No complains.

I forgot to add the string of red plastic beaded necklace i was wearing! The outfit yesterday was spring inspired, cute florals, light denim and candied colored accessories.
