070809 ~ National Day Weekend

Ok, I know this entry was long overdue coz the outing was during the SG National Day weekend. SL and I went out on his day off on that Friday before the long National Day weekend. Yah! Decided to dress casual but really didnt know what to wear coz it was summer heat.

Below was my outfit for the day and decided to wear a black singlet coz the printed top was short. I was perspiring and the hot weather was not ideal for layering. Hence, I would like to source for a thinner and longer fabric to cover my unsightly fats when wearing this printed top. (Printed Top : Shop in Jurong Point/Singlet & Belt : Giordano/Shorts : Shop in Lucky Plaza)

Went to Heeren and discovered that Mooks was having a closing down sale. I was sad coz they did have nice stuff except it was rather pricey. All items in the shop were sold at a certain price. Picked up several items and tried it in the fitting room. Wanna get a translucent dress but was against it coz of the material.

In the end, the items that I had narrowed were a cardigan and a dress. Due to budget constraint, I decided to get the dress instead. The price was reasonable, the print of the dress was tulip and colors were rather retro that made this dress my possession. Not worn it yet. The dress looked like a skirt but it was a toga version.

PS : I need to get hold of my purse strings coz it's slipping through my hands faster than getting hold of them. Argh! Should conserve my money and that should be my modus operandus!

Life's simplest pleasures

Life's simplest pleasures can be anything.

SL and I had a really late dinner at Wisma's foodcourt on Friday evening after a 'long' search for another top to replace the white top coz he thought that it was too auntie looking. (For the white top, had taken off all the embellishments shortly after I reached home that very night after SL's comments. He often joked about my auntie fashion sense.) Of course, the search was unsuccessful though saw a tonga dress at Dorthy Perkins. Looked pretty but I have large arms and prefer to cover them rather than exposing them. Dinner was relatively inexpensive but was a nice one though coz we had a good chat.

My outfit was a bit blanc and noir in between. (White top sans the embellishments : Lucky Plaza/Black jeans : Queensway Shopping Centre/ Bag : Gucci/ Pair with black shoes).

Saturday's evening was spent at Ice Cold coz SL invited me for a date. Beer and chicken wings are the best combination in a pub. Met a couple of galfriends who happened to be at the same place. So glad to meet them. However, I didnt wanna stay there for too long and wanna dinner/ supper coz I've not taken my lunch and dinner. The ensemble was simply noir and the adidas bag was bought in one of shops in Toa Payoh. Relatively cheap and love it coz it's furry. I also wanna to match the 'sporty' theme that we had for that day.

Here was my outfit (Black Top: Hynopsis/Black jeans : Queensway Shopping Centre/ Bag : Adidas - Respect Me/ Pair with black shoes/ Rings : H&M; Perlini's Silver). Accessories for both days were kept to the minimal (less is more mantra) by wearing a different ring for both days. Make-up was done with my latest fake eyelashes obssession.

Ended up at the nearby McDonald's. Was pleasantly surprised that the Happy Meal toy given was Hello Kitty. McDonalds has collaborated with Hello Kitty for their 35th Anniversary and there will be different toys given over these 4 weeks when purchased a Happy Meal. All toys have a stated year and there are 36 toys to choose from. Hence, each one is unique with the year stated in the packaging. This could mean that I will be broke and grow fat if I purchase all the toys given in 4 weeks. These toys are too cute to resist and here is the picture for you to judge.

Had a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Cheers!

10.07.09 : Day of Highs and Lows

Woken by a call from SRT to go out for lunch. Obviously, I was late to meet up with her. However, we didnt make an arrangement of the actual venue to meet though we had agreed to meet at Paragon.

When I reached there, she's nowhere in sight. But met someone whom I rather forget ~ not absolutely keen to even acknowledge that person (long story). Ok, I still couldnt locate her. Tried to contact her again through her hp. It rang and went dead later.

Went through the whole building from level 1 to level 5. Still, there was no sight of her. Tried to contact her through her residential number a couple of times. However, it turned out to be the wrong number. Then tried to scroll down the numbers and finally managed to reach her residential number.

Later, she mentioned that she had lost her hp in a cab while she was on her way there. The only number she recalled was her hubby's. In the end, we met up for a brief moment to pass me her stuff. Well, at least we met and it's all that matters.

After this meeting, I was on a mission to search the PINK top to wear for an occasion. This color is not my color of choice and will try to avoid it as much as possible. The closest shade of pink that I would wear will be FUCHSIA if it's even consider the same color family (I dont take Arts as a subject in any form). My search started from Paragon to PS.

Of coz, I've sidetracked from my search. Went to Dorthy Perkins coz there's sale. Tried on a couple of dresses costed at SGD 39 each (original : SGD 79) and had narrowed down to 2 dresses. One was a white number and the other was printed with horses (had been eyeing it since its launch). Was excited to purchase both till I realised the printed dress had a large tear near the thighs. Hugely disappointed about it coz I'm positive about purchasing both dresses. Well, on a positive note was I had saved some moolah since there's 1 dress to purchase. The white dress I thought would be perfect for weddings. Hence, I made that purchase coz it looked simple yet delicate coz of the patterns and it fell nicely at knee length. Ok, it was the type of purchase of wants rather than needs. Here is the picture of my buy.

Yes, I needed to remind myself about my mission coz I foresee that I wouldnt have time over the weekends to do so. I tried on polo , crew neck tees but I dont like the effect and shops like Giordano, Hang Ten, Baleno, Cotton On have promotions of 'Buy 2 at SGD 30' or 'Buy 3 at SGD 10', etc. Wanna get something that I could wear in future as well as having some feminine element to it. I dont see myself wearing PINK polos at all. The final destination was NET where I was still trying on the polo tees. When I was about to give up, I saw this butterfly top in the dreaded color. It costed about SGD 21 which was already discounted from SGD 70. When I tried it, the look was slightly off-shouldered which something that I liked. Yup, it was the only piece left after checked. Hence, needed to grab it coz I'm tired of walking around the whole building looking for a PINK top. The next thing on my list is I need to curb my spending!

Date with Transformers

For both me and SL, it was a long overdue wait for Transformers : Revenge of the Fall (will blog in another website).

Well, I dun usually dress up due to the weather. Yup, blame it on the weather. Laziness is the main reason coz humidity has caused my mind to run out of ideas. Just kidding.

Anyway, I thought I would dress up a bit to surprise SL and that would mean not wearing the usual t-shirts and shorts combination. I did tried to put on falsie eyelashes. First try in doing so. It's not difficult at all. Tried and tested. Loving it now but dont think I'll do it that often. Let's see about that.

Basically, this was what I was wearing with a pair of black leggings and patent flats. My version of a school girl. I like princess sleeves coz it just look girlish.

The only expensive item of this whole outfit is the bag. I kinda like it coz it has quilted look in front. Sourced for it when I saw my ex-colleague carried a red version. The rest of the items are relatively inexpensive and the skirt was bought at SGD 10 and had bought the black version of it. There were many other partners. But I'm still in love with black.

In my humble opinion, cheap clothings can still look nice without spending big bucks. Here I present my humble buys of my outfit for the day.

• Black Top ~ Dorthy Perkins
• Checked Skirt ~ Cotton On
• C quilted inspired Bag ~ Gracious Aires (comes with interchangeable stripe)

Have a good weekend, everybody!
