wishful thinking

chloe spring 2011

all images from vogue.com

under these freezing conditions, the best way to warm up would be to.. 

1) wear more layers

2) drink hot chocolate (with marshmallows)

3) look at next spring collections and THINK that it's spring. 

here are some beautiful, elegant, classy, lovely, ballerina-esque images off the catwalk from chloe to get you in the mood.. it works! i promise! ....sort of! :) 

it's all about the details

 henry holland blouse, primark skirt, zara bag

i sincerely apologise for the lack of post recently ! i've been super busy with work, interviews for post grad, and spending way too much time catching up with gossip girl! : )  

i'm sorry about the blurryness of the pictures... but i wanted to show you my recent purchases, bought with my very first pay cheque! yayy! :) and how perfectly, i think, they complement each other to make my outfit today. i love the zebra prints and the peter pan collar of the blouse as well as the rose chiffon details of the skirt. well done, henry holland! well done, primark! on the other hand, here i am wearing short sleeves and a skirt on the coldest day i have ever experienced in my whole life, haha.  i hope you guys all had a great weekend and are a lot warmer than i am! : ) i'm off to drink some tea to warm myself up before bed! bye byeee.

an old new thing

                              

          

                      h&m top and clutch, all saints jeans, new look wedges

my outfit yesterday! :) i was a little reluctant to purchase these wedges because i was worried it would make me already taller than everybody else but i am so so happy i got them! i really like them :) i also found my all saints high waisted jeans at the back of my wardrobe which i thought i had lost! so it felt like having something new! haha if that makes sense at all. it also means i should have a wardrobe clear out...! anywaysss, i haven't been up to much recently except temping as a visual merchandiser. although, i have something to look forward to... halloween this weekend! what are you guys dressing up as? i'm thinking of dressing up as a funny little pumpkin! :)

diy

h&m shift dress (worn as top), velvet skirt made by me!, miss selfridge clutch

here is a quick post of what i've been up to recently. i've been busy making cute skirts on my little sewing machine; this navy velvet one is my favourite! :) and i have also been making postcards for my friends! they're just silly drawings in felt tip pens and colouring pencils but it was so much fun! :) i forgot how much i love doing this kinda diy stuff! and isn't my little leopard+sequin clutch the cutest thing ever? i haven't worn it since my grad ball so i thought i'd show it some love by taking it out that evening! also, sorry for the gloomy face! haha, it was unintentional.. i promise! :)

testing, one two three.

topshop leather jacket, zara chiffon blouse, newlook skirt and shoe boots

i got a new camera ! it's just a small digital camera since i somehow destroyed my last two and my 18-55mm lens.. anyways, i was just testing it out before i went out yesterday. it's not too bad ! :) i might get some new lenses for my canon though.. any recommendations? also, i am so excited for this weekend as i am having a reunion with my ex-flatmates! 

what are you guys doing this weekend? i hope you have a great one! 

ps i haven't had the chance to thank everyone who has left me with lovely comments + those following me!

i might do a giveaway soon as a proper thank you! :)
