Tale of the Pink Bike and the Red Dress

Ask me why I want to wear a dress when I bike.

[Source: Facehunter]

It's all about the image, baby.

Unfortunately I don't have a pretty dress that is flowy for practical reasons, nor do I have a pink bike. Or a working bicycle for that matter.

And during the blue moon that I do go biking I'd probably have to rent it so the bike is usually the typical ugly grey ones.

So the story ends before it even began.

She's also wearing transparent jelly flats.

Now I see jelly flats everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE, and it's just one of those things that I neither hate nor love.

It's pretty obvious I'm a bloody cheapskate and jelly shoes are pretty cheap [you can get them for about $10 per pair?] and I heard they're comfortable. Yet I still feel nothing for it. Hmm.

Joyce Shop

So I'm abstaining from any form of shopping [I use to rationale with myself that online shopping isn't really proper shopping] because I've already bought items which I've yet to wear out.

But Taiwanese shop Joyce Shop was a pleasure to browse through because of extensive collection that's quite regularly updated and their catalogue pictures are always so fun.

Tons of images ahead :).










I've always wanted to buy fabric and make my own skirts, but as usual I never did get round to it. I like the skirts, where they're in that awkward length of being neither long nor short.

Dresses are LOVE.

I have some pent-up energy so I modelled the dresses I bought recently that were similar looking but they were darn cheap and I really really love them! Whee.

Just have to find an occasion to wear them out to though, not wearing pretty things to school x_x. Already have a couple of events booked for them, yay!



What? I think I'm a glam poser can.

Actually there're 2 more dresses, one is all pretty and chiffon the other is casual summery but I felt too lazy to change again.

Wetseal top came in the mail yesterday!


From the picture I was a little concerned that it might puff me up and make me look awkward, but when I got it I decided I didn't care since I need to shop and it was darn cheap.

Well. I daresay it fits me gorgeously :)

Kate Moss for Topshop: overrated.

I know I know, a little too late and I'm sure everyone has read about the Kate Moss for Topshop line.

Personally I thought there was nothing really outstanding in the collection, since every piece looked like what topshop factory out normally anyways. I suppose you can still pick a couple of looks to be inspired by.

And while I love the lazy elegance concept, the lookbook collection is just too um, much-effort-for-effortless. Eh well, such is fashion, there's a fine line for everything.

Anyway. Because you have to know what I like, these are my personal faves. Is it a little strange that I liked whatever Irina Lazareanu wore in the lookbook?

I like this look because Elva Hsiao wore it in her latest awesome music video, heh.
Except Elva looks cool and has styled hair.
I hope I'm not intending to buy new white sneakers just for the sake of this outfit :s

Today's a really great day because my Wet Seal came in the mail! The dress I wanted was out of stock, but I recently bought waaaaaaaay too many dresses and have not worn most of them out yet anyway.

Wetseal should hire me as their Sale advocator or something.

A.P.C. minimalistic love

My apologies are overused!

School was keeping me superrrr busy and tired but today I gave myself a break because I skipped all lessons today! HArdly rested though, felt so happy sleeping in that I had to meet up with my bestie. Anyhappyway.

I love looking through A.P.C.'s lookbook. They're minimalistic, without compromising on style. There's also this sort of casual effortlessness that of course, I love.

They always seem to have things that I covet. This time round I really really want the tube dress and gladiator sandals.



Perhaps its because they take trends and don't overload. I love that they don't make the wearer look like a trend whore.

Lulu's Fashion Lounge

The first thing I did when I got the laptop was listen to all the missed music.

Anyway, I still have things to re-download into the laptop but at least internet connection is up.

Right, right, as promised Lulu's Fashion Lounge! I especially love their dresses and the accessories department.

I should probably be more comprehensive but I'm tired out. Sooooooo I want these!
