Feminine Me

What I wore on Monday to work:


Lace top, leggings from Korea, Shoes from Malaysia and bag from Bugis

Excuse for the poor quality. Wind was pretty strong around my house that time and I was really starving and dinner was more important than taking pics. (Guilty look)


The bag: Functional, hardy and practical. My second work bag since the first one got into an unfortunate accident.. but still able to survive! One of my favourites because it's pretty roomy and well.. hardy. I can fit the whole world in and it can live!

While taking the pic of the bag, I suddenly realised it looked so much like those MRT ads you see on well, the MRT stations. You know, posters something like "See any suspicious bag, please report." The only thing missing was the people in the background. When I exclaimed in frenzy, the family could only agree and continue laughing hysterically. OH WELL.


The Shoe: Studded bad boys. Who can resist? Certainly not me.

------------------

On a side note (totally irrelevant): MEET THE NEW ADDITION TO THE SHOE FAMILY!

Decided to take a walk (okay, I took a cab!) down to Bugis after leaving a client's place to drop off a document, on an impulse, I had to go into my favourite shoe shop. Every time I go in, I will never leave that place empty handed. So today was no exception. I was in love at first sight when I saw these which arrested my attention immediately because I was so dying for a pair of laced up heels in a perfect shade of gray. When I saw it, I thought it was meant to be! (eyes roll) I know, totally dramatic!


Random pics around some random available space in the house playing with the shoe. And daddy was around! Where did my initial plan to be discreet about the new purchases go???



Top: Topshop, shorts: John Little, Shoes (Bugis)

Realised I am in a need of a good trim. Hair is fricking unruly...

10 People Who Inspire Me

There is always someone who inspires me, every moment of my life and every second of my dreams. So here I am compiling a list. If I forget to mention any, another post might be coming up!

Here's my list:
  1. The Sister & The Brother: She is my soul mate, my best friend and an awesome shopping companion while he is THE amazing brother I can ever have, can ever ask for.
  2. The Parents: Especially the Dad, who encouraged me to dream, to pursue and to succeed.
  3. The Friends: Who keeps me sane... Who inspires me in different ways I cannot imagine.
  4. Audrey Hepburn: Whose sense of timeless style captured the world and stayed on for decades.
  5. Karl Lagerfeld: Chanel, enough said.
  6. Whitney Port
  7. Queen Rania
  8. Natalie Portman: Smart with enviable yet easy to emulate red-carpet looks.
  9. Xiaxue: Who could actually say what is on their mind truthfully and stands for it? This is a trait I admire of her. Sometimes, I don't even dare to speak up my mind when there is something to say. And it is not a good thing.. But it is a learning process which I am going to master.
  10. Various bloggers/blogs: For their own creative interpretation towards their take on style.
So who inspires you?
