One more Mag, then I'll Stop. For now.

I know I should be getting to bed but my iPod hasn't been fully charged yet.

Annnyywaaay, I've been splurging on Japanese magazines a little too much recently.

I've gone through Vivi and JJ twice at least, and I can still get more out of them if I flip through now.

I was going to get Cancam [hey, at least the names are easy to remember -_-] based on recommendation from my friend, but its latest issue is all sold out.


So in frustration I got the Japanese issue of Seventeen instead because it had a free gift! I like free stuff. I don't really like the magazine itself; finished it in 30 minutes and was hardly impressionable.

And an issue of fave indie fashion mag Nylon. I can now purchase them with a discount, hoorah.

Mmmm, I love floral-infused tea.

Night! For real.

The Robot and I

I've not gone shopping in town on weekends for a long while now so has the service always been that horrible on a Saturday? Poo.

Anyway at least I did get some fab buys that even my mom is gushing over - and she usually hates the clothes I buy -___-.

Vogue Girl Korea studios the most gorgeous photoshoots ever. I especially love this particular set.



How is it that the giant robot does not steal one's attention away from the model and her clothes? Pure genius. Their other photoshoots are equally breathtaking.

Anyone know where I can get a copy of the magazine in Singapore? These would look more gorgeous on print.

Tomorrow's a Monday? Already?!

The Seventeen Tote

Thanks to Fashion Nation's tipoff, I bought this month's issue of Seventeen! Just for the fabulous tote. So now the entire population of Singapore probably owns one and strangely enough I don't really care.


It has the most adorable print, it's not of shoddy quality, and more roomy than expected. Hell, my laptop could fit in it! Not that I'm confident enough to lug my laptop around in it anyway.

I did want the other design though, which is Tamagotchi-like but I couldn't find it anywhere. Meh, I'm quite content with my owl.

Vivi: Shoes

Another Vivi magazine installment!

They love their shoes!




It was obvious that this month's shoe spotlight belongs to the booties. There were more pages dedicated to them. I still don't like booties, but the ones they featured looked bearable. Or at least the models wearing the booties looked good.

I wouldn't mind owning the oxford booties which really actually just looked like oxfords with heels. They are the bottom pair on the left side of the page: click to enlarge [though a little blur, didn't seem that blur when I took the photo]



Yeah, well, I'm thinking my mother is wrong and that I do not have enough shoes.


Hilarious korean variety shows are taking up the bulk of my time :)
I'm beginning to watch korean dramas as well; it's crazy that my uncle watches them -__-.

Vivi Magazine: Oversized Blazers

Why is it that I have not bought Japanese magazines before?

I borrowed a friend's Vivi magazine, with super cool Namie Amuro on its cover. The number of clothes in there in incredulous! Pages after pages of clothes, shoes, bags, even hair and make-up tutorials!

It doesn't matter that I can't understand a word in there, the pictures are enough to keep me hooked on to it. I wanted to get the same issue but it was sold out, so I got JJ instead.

I was planning to do a collage of the things that I liked but since I don't have the time, instead of featuring the magazine in one post, I'll just do multiple posts, yaaay.

Namie Amuro on the cover.

My favourite out of her photospread, because of the jacket and the corset thing.

I really need an oversized blazer. I've been meaning to get one a long time ago but I simply could not find one that looks decent. I even went as far as to wanting to get a men's one instead, but the shoulders were waaaay too broad.

I'd kill for one of these perfect oversized blazers featured.






Speaking of all things Japanese [fine, so only the magazine, whatever] I also had a bit of a Japanese food invasion.

Cold Salmon Don.
For some reason I've been craving for Salmon. And I don't even like Salmon that much -_-

Salmon rice thingy at Pepper Lunch. Love it. This was after a movie and I actually left my wallet in the theatres.

Concerned friend: Let's go back now, maybe it's still there. We'll tell them to cancel our order [or something to this effect]
Me: Meh, let's wait for the food instead.

Fyi, went back after enjoying the meal, got my wallet back :) Like my wise *coughs* bestie aptly puts it, if it's meant to be lost, it's meant to be lost.

Uzumaki ice-cream that's overrated and over-priced. $4 per cone? I'd rather get gelato.
The bubble tea ice-cream doesn't taste like milk tea at all, the green tea ice-cream was better, but still not enough of the matcha taste.

Oh yes, Vivi even featured the Creative Zen Stone! Totally my sign to go get it now now NOW.


And helped switch me back to Singaporean mode, which is good because tomorrow is National DAY!!!

I should totally do a red and white post..... IF I could afford to deviate from crazy-ass project.
