A Day Out in Town Burning Plastic

Having credit cards is a relatively new thing for me. Like all of the key symbols of financial independence, I embrace it whole-heartedly. But it definitely is not doing my finances any good! Its simply too easy to hand over the card and sign on the dotted line - you just don’t feel the [...]

How Many Colours Can You Fit in One Outfit?

I love colours, and I like them strong and rich Pastels strike me as rather half-hearted, and perhaps my skin tone just doesn’t go that well with lighter shades.
But with colours, I feel one has to be very careful not to overdo it. When in doubt, I always go by the rule of ‘less [...]

Bling Bling Excesses?

I’m currently on the look out for a sequined dress - not a sequin-detailed dress, but a full sequined dress.

Draping, Knotting, Bundling, Piling

I have this huge obsession with scarves. I like them all - squares (big/small), long stripes, floral, animal-prints, polka-dotted, silk, chiffon, cotton, satin.
That is why when I surf street-style blogs, one of the things I look out for especially are the ways in which people wear their scarves. You know, for inspiration, although mostly I [...]

The Scarf - An Unlikely Essential

If you notice, no one in Singapore really wears a scarf. We Singaporeans are appalling - it seems that everyone is denying that we’re overly exposed to sunlight. We solidly refuse to wear shades. Put on a wide rimmed hat and you score weird looks immediately. Wear a scarf around your head and people may [...]

McQueen Skull Scarf Redux

Stephie wrote about the McQueen skull scarf a long time ago, but today I browsed through some blogs and came across this not-too-shabby collection of McQueen scarves. Not-Too-Shabby, of course, in the Wow-That-Must-Cost-Quite-A-Bit sense.

The site is in Japanese, but clicking about the links will display the diversity of her wardrobe (you could probably find antelope [...]
