by now, you should know i'm not one to tog on a dior homme shirt. no, and i admit, i don't wile in that category of spending. i delight in spending on small items from a growing pool of really talented local labels. i'm obsessed with this bow tie i got from depression people (link), from their shop at parco milennia walk. i was not a bow tie person, but i seem to be drawn to a different image nowadays. less and less drama, and more controlled these days. i don't know about my detractors, but i kind of like this new direction.

last night was a blast. three of my favourite brands congregated in a small corner of orchard central to set up shop. reckless ericka (link), blackmarket no.2 (link) and elohim (link). and what a brilliant idea to hold their openings together. i missed seeing some old faces around. it was a blast.

belvedere.

after our adrenaline-pumped day at RWS doing the sundown fest rehearsals, jas, alicia and i escaped to jas' pad for a quick wardrobe change before heading down the belvedere for the fifth avenue shoe repair launch party. jasmine's giant wardrobe was like walking through a fashion wonderland.

we missed the show and all, but the drinks saved the day.

word of caution, never ever send fashion people to industrial spaces without freezing the place down to zero degrees. we will turn out looking like sweat machines.

which completely reminded me (though it shouldn't have) of this:

size zero

i was on the way to film an interview for a documentary about size zero in the fashion industry, and i bumped into nino of style-anywhere, who shot a few shots for l/w.

i cannot get enough of vintage items or costume jewelry. so it's thrilling when i find a vintage piece of costume jewelry. and this necklace was a steal.

my friend sonia is a black widow.

there's a stone on your pants.

i seem to be the only person who appreciates having colourful embellishments on my pants. i wonder why.

monday to sunday, topshop, aaron kok.



on an unrelated note, i keep forgetting to talk about food because everytime i see the dish, i tuck in. oops.

fourteen june.

messing around with the functions on the new camera. i'm having a major crush on my knit sweats. it's starting to become the equivalent of a blankie to a kid.
