I made a trip down to Haji Lane earlier this week and popped by Bianca, a shoe shop. I got these pair of Dorothy-red maryjanes, thanks to the lovely people at Bianca, and they make me so happy. Mainly because maryjanes are shoes that i go weak for. Plus I very rarely find one in a classic cut so i definitely couldn’t let these go.
So Bianca’s really cool (I like that it sounds like i’m talking about someone), what i’m particularly fond of is how their shoes are sophisticated without the frills. No funny pattern that runs across your shoe just for the sake of. The inside of the shop is where you want to be on a hot day! The shop’s got this mood and all i could think of was Anna Sui. I’ll let the photos do the talking for a bit.
You should know that their designs are done in-house, and since exclusivity is always a good thing to have, they only produce limited pairs of each design.
I not only scored cute shoes at Haji Lane, on my way out i picked out two vests from House of Japan and i’m wearing one of them here.
Y’know, new shoes calls for outfits built around it. This vest was part of a Korean uniform. It’s houndstooth with little pockets. Maryjanes have a sense of innocence about it so i was trying to channel a school girl (or boy) outfit. I wish i had a panama hat to complete the look tho.
So drop by Bianca, 44 Haji Lane, Level 2! They update their collections every few weeks. And if you’re the kind who prefers to shop behind your computer screen, they made it possible here too.

I had an early start to the day, jumped out of bed at 7.45! That is rare. Ventured out to get dim sum – which is why i was up so early. Ain’t got much to say this time, except i have new hair? Having this hair makes me want to dress funny. I’d put on my clothes and do a Karen-O pose in the mirror and go ‘holy crap’.

It’s been pouring, well, not the entire day but enough for my nose to act up. Sniffly and itchy, i bet you get the picture. I’ve always wished for a new nose y’know? Mine has been giving me trouble since i was little and i’ve tried nasal sprays, medicated oil, everything basically, nothing w.o.r.k.s. This uncomfortable feeling better run along by tomorrow, the death of me nose.

Two of my most creative friends made this birthday edm or invite if you will, for tonight’s post-birthday dinner. I do love my burgers so burgers we had!
Polaroid taken at dinner – Sabrina (center), a writer and Caili’s an art director
The photos were taken by Caili, with her out-of-this-world Ricoh camera which explains why Sabrina and i are posing in most of them. Believe me, she took so many that we got tired of posing and cracked up a whole lot. Sorry the outfit pictures aren’t that sharp, it isn’t much, a dress that was altered too short thus the leggings, oxfords and a vintage purse.
Dress: secondhand

Yes, that was what i did yesterday for the first time, being 23. I kinda guessed the plans my boyfriend had up his sleeves days before but i enjoyed every bit of it nonetheless! He whisked us both off to a suite for a day, it had a jacuzzi in the back so we pretty much soaked in chlorine half the time, lounging around in bathrobes (!!!) and being around more greenery than usual and oh, walking beside peacocks.
I’m gonna leave you with some pictures but hopefully the ones i shot in film will come out well and i will post more again. Wish i could blabber more but there’s some work to be done.
I snapped this at the golf course and it’s so spooky i kinda like it so i don’t care that it looks out of place with the other photos!
My outfit – vintage dress from ebay and shoes from urban outfitters.
