Moi is featured!

It's one of those days, when after taking pictures, the camera gives nothing but satisfaction. Yes! I admit I am loving taking pictures at the moment. All thanks to zumba and though rarely clean but a lot more healthier diet! (still I have a long way to go!)
Diverting to fashion, I love the fact that Singapore's weather is so, the way it is! Like I mentioned earlier I do miss leggings and scarves and hats, but the heat is so healing, it makes it all up!

Yet Again From My Scrap!

Months before blogging, I had a diary where I stored my plans for the blog. There were many titles and plans. I had it because I wouldn't want to run out of ideas. The idea of having a book full of plans secured me. It would 'protect me' I thought. But, surprisingly I haven't used any of them! It was a relief, because this meant, I won't be 'topicless' and also, when I had all these topics set up, I just focused on it and it just delayed doing the blog.This also led me to another book, which I called 'IP' (Inspiration pages), where I collected pages with patterns, colours and pictures that interested and amazed me. This one is helpful though. I wonder if you ever did this!? Because sometimes, early planning can be so track wrecking. Spontanity is more favorable. 

How Do You Wear Your Collar? The DIM(did it myself)!:-)

I don't think it's time to eschew collar necklaces just yet! not for me anyway. I just got into making them and I am actually quite flattered with my work! Also a few days ago a friend of mine installed the art of embroidery in me and I am not exactly hooked, but loving it. Although it's very time consuming and since it's my early days, its very amateurish. But, the result made me smile, so it's all good :
The appartus used were - collars(you can go with the stuffs necklaces are made of, but finding an unattractive shirt was so easy! and it does say 'collar), sequins, Pearls, stones from old necklaces, netted roses from a skirt (which was an impulsive but later what-the -hell -was-I-thinking buy), elastic band, needles and thread. Bring it together and sew, it's that simple :

Snowhite and the dark style.

This movie had been in my 'To watch' list since long time. The film wasn't as good as I expected, however, I liked the feminine twist. I liked how the Princess rescues herself and actually fights! It reminded me of Angela Carter's heroines, minus the erotica.
The sombre costumes of Snowhite, very much mirrors Kristen Staurt's off screen style. It's dark, leather (the scene when she is jumping off to the water when running away, leather trousers underneath!) and boots! Somewhere inbetween or perhaps hybrid of gothic and rock.
Besides the movie and Chris Hemsworth the very interesting thing happening was the Evil Queen's jewellries! Loud, big, long and sassy. I know she is evil youth sucker but, she's fine (fashion wise).

The Monologue

(It's nearly two in the morning and the darkness is intense. It seems obvious that everyone is deep in their sleep, but not her. Let's call her 'K'. For the past two hours she is trying to conquer the terrible insomnia, but alas! she's failing! She is pressing her eyes tight frowning. Beside the bed there is a table, which shelters her book, phone and an alarm clock. She has set the clock, because she plans to go for jogging early in the morning. There is a big floor length window on her right, which holds white curtains. Besides the window is a mannequin, that not-so-proudly wears her latest design! It's a full sleeved LBD with, which should have been fringed bottom, but looks like the thread of the dress coming out! On the floor there is a line of shoes, of different shapes and sizes. They look okay but old! Suddenly the alarm beeps! It's too loud! She groans and wakes up lazily and takes the clock in her hand and makes an angry noise, because it's just two! She starts to think angrily!)
Dammit! Dammit! (sighs)Now, I am never going to that jogging am I?! (she throws the clock and falls back on bed, wide awake now) I am so angry!!! arghh....Sleep where are you?! I did work my apetite for you! I did so many chores, walked everywhere and yet....(sighs and looks at her dress on the dummy, another sigh) That dress is so ruined! Why do I even try!? The deadline is in three weeks and out of four dresses, I have only managed to make two, one is so simple, that I am so sure she ain't gonna have a second look, and this one....I will give it a last try!
(She wakes up, puts on the light, pulls her hair back and walks to the mannequin and starts adjusting, when suddenly there is a soft tap on the window/door. She is not scared but is intrigued. She opens the window and peeps, no-one, but a pair of Alexandro Ingalmo's 'magic' shoes)
Wow!(she opens the door quickly and grabs them and not so far away, is a pair of Philip Lim lying away!) OMG! this is worth being an insomniac! wow wow wow! Oh god ! please let this be magic and not some illusion.....
(The alarm beeps piercingly loud) What the hell! ( She looks at the clock, it's six in the morning and just the time for jogging. She takes a long sigh and looks around, yes it was an illusion afterall!)

P.S The character, set and events are all purely fictional, any resemblance to person living or dreaming is just a co-incident. I want these shoes so bad

I am a one bag woman! (absolutely kidding)

Okay, I seem to always start my 'article/blog' with a rather unfashionable anecdote and unfriendly greetings, but what can I do when my childhood, which I find colourful than the rainbow FYI, is filled with such events and I'd rather treat you as my bff (talking about the greeting of course). If you sensed yet another 'childhood' memo yes you are right. It's bags. I used to think, 'why bother when you have pockets', you see I was a bit tomboyish and hadn't much to carry! Seeing mom and aunts with a bag hanging around their arm, was all bit too much. I don't know how, when, where but I have successfully passed that era! I am not crazily in-love with them, but love them! Especially this tote ( I guess it's from zara, it was a gift!:) and the long chained monochrome 'Next' bag, that reminds the traditional chanel bags!

Home is where your stuffs are....and your heart too:-)

So, I am home. Though coupleof weeks ago I was enthusiastically cursing the icy Britain weather, I kind of miss it now! Throughout my stay wind, frost, and the rare Sun was my cimpanion, but I liked wearing leggings and hats. I miss the fresh blueberry muffin and not to mention my evergreen favourite drink orange lucozade! Here is where I need it most unfourtunately!:(
Anyways, it's good to be back to the place where your body fat cries even with a simple five minute walk!

Sleepless in Singapore isn't a big deal, infact I am a very popular insomniac pupil! So, as I was helpessly trying to sleep I thought about my neglected blog and decided to add a fresh and initial page for june (my birthday month:) Today the little things around my house are my models:) and they are nicely edited by instagra. My current house don't resemble my dream house. It lacks walk-in-closet, study room and secret chamber(I am sometimes unrealistically dreamy aren't I?) but hey it's still where my stuffs.....and heart are.
