So sorry for the lack of proper post, but I'm still crazily in love with my new camera !

Went to the new shopping centre in town,ION orchard .

Anyway,headed to Canele to eat cake .
Its so delicious that you'll drool just looking at them .
There was this really cute little boy who keep crawling towards me .

We'll drive around in your caravan and sing our hearts out

Knit Cardigan:Made by mom
Grey sleeveless top:Topshop
Extra long leggings:Topshop
Wayfarers:online store
Black shoes:Topshop



Has been hazy the past few days . Due to forest fires in Indonesia and the winds blew all the smoke over. Yea, I know what you're thinking . But wind and smoke can really travel far.

Many things to do tomorrow . Thrifting for the store, shopping with my boyfriend and a sweet sweet treat to reward myself .

Mom made this knitted cardigan a long way back,when she was in her 20's . And I love it ! Its shared with my sister,but I steal it most of the time :)
Maybe I should pick up knitting/crochet and make something !
Did not think there was much of a need to edit the photos today as the lighting in the room was pretty good.

It's National day this Sunday,Singapore's birthday ! Do hope I could get to post some photos on it .

lovers in paradise



Oversized top:YSL(not real),online korean store
Pants:Dad's old pants
Shoes:vintage,etsy.com
Belt:H&M
Bag:vintage,collage






Was late for work today.
By six minutes ! By I guess they'll deduct something or somewhat off my pay . To me,that's quite stupid .

I love menswear . For one,its easier to move in than dresses and I like that we girls can wear mens' clothes and make it our own .

So I took my dad's old pants and took it for myself . I love it !
Oh by the way, no more boring living room shots for long. The wait for my new camera is coming closer and closer . I'm gettng so excited ! Could take more outdoor shots :)

But it made my hips look bigger. Not sure is it because the top I was wearing was almost reaching my knee and I had to tuck everything in.

Oops ignore the last pose. Was just trying something new .Oh yes,and the photos are not well edited due to picnik again. System down.

Any suggestions for good photo editing sites ?

Lots of people has been saying.

Summer is here,the weather has been really warm . So I've taken the courage and bought a bathing suit from ASOS that has yet to arrive .
Man,its been taking long but I'm paitently waiting :)

For now, keep think of how I'm going to pair it with.
Over a skirt,a floral headband ?!
Who better than people from the 40s 50s and 60s perhaps .

Oh yes, by the way. I've changed it to my name(for the comments). Not sure should I stick back to the phrase or my actual name.
