Yesterday was one of the highlights of August for me. After many many years of wishful thinking, Death Cab for Cutie finally came to town to do a show! The show happened a little too quickly for me or perhaps it took me too long to fully realise they were in fact playing on the stage. My boyfriend managed to film them playing “I Will Follow You Into The Dark”, i wished i could share their last song for the night “Transatlanticsm” but my trusty camera ran out of memory, queh.
This is what i wore – vintage dress from ebay (sleeves altered shorter) and my bag was thrifted in nyc.
I’m not sure if you can make out two buttons at the empire waistline, it’s kinda cute having the buttons attached to the belt instead of simply sewn on.
Alright here is the video i mentioned earlier, be warned that there’s some screaming a few seconds into the video, so go soft on the volume first.
Believe me i’m cackling with laughter as i’m writing this! I always lament to my boyfriend about the lack of suitable backgrounds to take my w_r outfits and so tonight, me and my bright idea presents this:
Wearing this dress makes me feel like both a girl scout mainly because it’s green and a waitress working at a diner, which explains my new ‘friends’. I fully suspect this is indeed a waitress’s uniform after looking through several images, especially since the collar and sleeve detail resemblance is there plus the buttons running all the way down.
Dress: Vintage from Kensington Market, Toronto
Clutch: Secondhand
Black flats: Tangs
The weather has been unfriendly lately and i know it’s only going to get worse so i’m not gonna say more. The 11th Hour is available for rent on iTunes now and i’m gonna make time to watch it. I do little on my end to save the environment and when i think hard about it, i don’t like the way it makes me feel.
Well watch it if you can, there’s something about documentaries that draw me in. I managed to see the Helvetica film over the weekend and although i don’t really glorify the font, hearing aficionados speak about it is wondrous. Wow i really managed to sidetrack, all i meant to do was post today’s outfit and also share a video i’ve been watching over and over.
Everything is remixed ‘cept for the clutch which came as a gift, it’s from H&M. I really dislike taking photos at the stairwell but i had to compromise because it had better lighting, sorry!
And enough of my talk, play this video, close your eyes and sway
This (early) morning, my boyfriend and i cycled north to the beach. It’s right at the border of Singapore as Google maps confirmed and it was quite lovely. Some days i’m up all night and my way of knowing it’s turning 6am is when i hear the first train pull into the station (i live right opposite a train station – queh!). So it was definitely nice to hear birds talking and soothing sounds of waves this time.
The top is reworked vintage from ebay and black oxfords from etsy.
I didn’t get around to posting this outfit below, it was on taken my boyfriend’s birthday.
I love this dress for its full skirt – swirl swirl swirl! Bought it from etsy, haha is anyone getting bored with my outfit details?!
I hardly pop by the National Museum but the museum had a night festival going on and they displayed this amazing array of lights, so i was pretty stoked to have soaked it all up. This might very well be the coolest thing that has happened in Singapore since Coldplay played here!
That is the museum from across the road, it’s never lit up this fancy before. So i was jaw-to-the-floor everytime a different colour came on.
This design was my favourite, our favourites (my bf & good friend, Caili too). We had waffles at a nearby cafe after and when we saw this from afar, holymoles, it looked like someone ‘up there’ was drawing with his laser beam or something! It was mesmerising, i really wonder whose idea/work it is, estupendo!
Some of the other spectacular displays and some closeups of the details. We look like we’re in the polar bear enclosure in the last picture, don’t we?
This was what i wore;
Top: Vintage from ebay
Shorts: Uniqlo
Bag: Hellosparrow
I also got to meet the very lovely tweefeetat The Beatnik Picnic. She was oh-so-wise to wear non-leather gladiators so her footwear don’t get soiled by mud! (Note to self)
