When I grow up

And when money grows on trees, I will find myself dressed like this.

I’ve come to realise how chicken I am with trying out new silhouettes. Sometimes I read these interviews with ‘style icons’ and they list things down like ‘Will never be caught dead in a babydoll or empire waist dress’, and I think what’s so wrong about those dresses? I have a closet full of them!! Gotta say that dressing up has lost its fun for me, I have been rotating three t-shirts and wearing the same pair of shorts for the whole week now. I used to change five times before heading out (sorry boyfriend) but now I’m putting on my t-shirt as I’m walking to the door!

Times have changed, priorities!

Chinese New Year’s round the corner – it’s basically a public holiday that gives you ample reasons to buy new clothes – and I have a whole bunch of stuff I wish I could try before dropping monies on/ wish I could pull off/ wish I could fit into/ wish didn’t cost an arm and a leg.

I’m really digging the Acne catsuit… how fun would it be, to show up at my relative’s in that?

Alexa's Alexa

I tweeted about this bag y’day but was waiting for a photo without them watermarks. Woke up to this lovely one of Alexa with her Alexa Mulberry – an updated version of the Bayswater! Complete with a strap and double buckles on the front. Ahhhhhhh, how perfect is it?

Onto; headpieces

Currently all i do when i’m on etsy is search for headpieces, favourite them and contemplate on which ones to buy for days on end. But given the large head i inherited from my dad, i’m a wee bit skeptical about the sizing. Which makes me feel boring and unadventurous. So anyway i put together some of the ones i really like, maybe you would too! (Some of them are already sold but still good for own imagination)


Art Deco Headband


Deco Diva Hat (sold)
– Am still dreaming about this, oh my my


Peacock Fiesta Barrettes


Vintage 1940s Black Satin Rosette Headpiece


Pheasant Feather Half Hat (sold) – thought this was really cool


Topknot Headband – I caved and bought this one


Love anything hand-picked by miss marcine, this Blue Velvet Leaf Fascinator is no exception


Jane Turban Headwrap


Dauphin Turban Headband
