Wear File: From everywhere else

It's strange that I don't post pictures of myself more regularly. My excuse the last time was because I had a lousy camera.

My excuse this time is that I just can't take decent photos of my outfit. The lighting in my room gets blocked out when I use the mirror :s But I'm trying to take full-shot photos without using the mirror.

Anyway, here are some photos I bothered to upload and forgot about.

Oh yeah, another reason why everyone should get best friends, you buy cheesy tshirts together.
Both of us are now obsessed over vintage tees! Whee.

Pardon the tired smile, unsightly eyebags and dark circles. We work too hard for our good sometimes. *cough*

I wore this to a concert a while back. Yeah, I know, not exactly concert material, but I felt like wearing this so pooh.

Bubble tea crave!

Remember this dress I got a while back?

I wore it as a top instead because it hugged my butt and I felt fat that day.
Anyway, the dress is a top, paired it with white bermudas. gold earrings and gold wedges that I didn't take a photo of.

On a side note, that's shisha I'm having. Basically you're suppose to smoke this gigantic phallic thing with decorative pompoms and glitter. Oh joy. Was told it would be all refreshing and mind-clearing and junk but when I had it I was like, "That's it?"

Meh, at least I could say I tried it before. Would've been better if belly dancers came out just to up the novelty factor.

Ed Hardy: Tacky or Street Art?

Ok, so the cap's not exactly for accessorising purposes, I just needed something I could hide my face under when I go out make-upless for the gym or something. I know, bimbotic -_-

Anyway. So the first thing that came to mind to me was Ed Hardy.

Thing is, when I first saw them I thought they were atrociously tacky. Their designs are what us Singaporeans would understand to be reminisce of the "beng"; local gangsters, if you will.

And it doesn't really help that later on I saw photos of Britney and K Fed wearing Ed Hardy.

But now that I am looking for a cap, and since Ed Hardy is the only cap brand I know that has an online shop I can browse through, I'm thinking "Heeeeyyyy maybe these aren't so bad after all".






It is expensive online. I wouldn't want to spend USD$90 on a cap, would I?

There's a store in Singapore, perhaps I'll go check them out.

Turbans: What if?

Ever since Prada did the turban on the catwalk, I knew it was going to be trend and I knew I would never consider it.

But of course, I realise when it comes to fashion there's no such thing as "never consider".

Then I looked at the people on FaceHunter and saw other variations of the turban.

The atypical Prada version.

Ok so shift it a little to the side and leave a tail.

This one made me chuckle a little.
Her turban version looked like she did it with eyes closed and a "suck this, trendwhores" attitude, and maybe its the orange hair as well, but hell, it works.


In case you've not seen Topshop's turban...
Riiiggghht. At least I don't have to tie it on myself.


Know why I'm excited? Because while looking through my lookbook for a Prada turban I discovered a whole collection of past looks that are pretty pretty pretty!

I am beat. Past few days of attempting to squeeze work and frolick together have been tiring.

Vintage T-shirt Obsession

I want all of these and more from 80sTees!


Another Blondie tee perhaps? This one says "one way or another" at the back!

This one cracks me up, tee hee!
Batman is a hundred times better than Superman.
Because he's super rich and he has a utility belt, hello.

Muppets! Less annoying than Sesame Street!
And because I like this shade of purple.

Everybody loves Donatello! Right?
Actually I can't distinguish one turtle to the next but I do remember liking the one with the red eye mask thingy.
Anyway, nice print.

Ugly Betty! I don't watch every episode but I do know I like him a lot, whoever he is.


Awwww.... just slap me.

Gotta have one in every colour!

I notice a lot of people getting those Mr Men and Little Miss series.

Don't know what all the hype is for. It's cute, but not that fascinating.

Blondie referencing is fun.

I'll tell you why I love best friends.

One way or another they're gonna getcha, they're gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha...

"CALL ME! On the line! Call me! Call me Any anytime!"

Getcha' the stuff you've been "Dreaming" of, that is.

Just because!

And now I think I'm now addicted to Junkfood tees. It makes me want to, uh, "touch myself".

"Now I'm always touched by your presence, dear."
:)

Till, my next band tshirt, LOVE.

Korean fashion revived my Hoodie obsession

I've been looking at a lot of Korean fashion nowadays and I really love them. For one the models don't do that cutesy thingy that at certain times you just want to slap them for.

I don't know if its the Korean people or their ability to put together an outfit, but their photos simply ooze style. They have none of the extremities of Japanese fashion, and none of the straightforward, unfinished looks of Taiwan/Hong Kong.

Of course, I'm only judging Asian fashion based on what I've seen on the net so far and what is being sold there online. Still, I think my judgement is fair.

Hey, some may argue it's too conventional, but maybe that's what I love about it and I'm fine with that.

One more thing.





HOODIES!
*throws happy confetti in the air*
Tell me all the photos look freaking awesome.
I need need need need more hoodies!
Doesn't even matter the weather is stifling hot at the moment!

Threadless Summer Sale

I know I'm a little too late but Threadless is having their summer sale again! Tshirts at $10!

As always, these are my favourites.













You know what, I wouldn't call Threadless tshirts quirky anymore. They're just plain weird, and I love it like that.
