Greatest Gift

 Alicia Lim

Very inspired by her imaginations of the mystical mermaids in the deep seas, she has a lacey mermaid skirt with a bralet and a light piece of sheer top. As she strolls along the beach and rest upon the big stones close to the shore, her light clothing not only keeps her warm from the sea breeze. It also allows her to take everything else real in this world out of her mind and dwell into the mystical realm of mermaids, unicorns and horsemen.

“Dressing up is a form of expression”

In our Garden city, we have a youthful and adorable looking woman that is in her early 40s in a layered style that gives off the vibes of Japanese. Especially at a proudly and wonderfully man-made garden, how could one simply believe that this was not taken in any rural district with the most natural greens, with the different shades of reds and almost washed out looking denim that fits in comfortably with the breezy blues in the environment.

“Reminds me the innocence of my childhood”

Bright and Beautiful, all she wanted was to play. With her grandmother’s old dress from the art deco period and a vintage floral head piece. To her most comfortable converse high cuts to skate around in her yellow penny.

With anything, to everywhere.

“I don’t care, I just want to play with fashion”

This family-my greatest blessing from above.

SUITCASE Magazine

It can never get anymore exciting whenever i sit to share something on the site.

Weeks has passed and days has flown by so fast. I have lose track of the weeks I’ve been missing in action and I can’t feel anymore guilty for neglecting this space, again and again. There are so many posts waiting to be shared, I know I need to buckle up. Instead of dwelling in my sorry speech, I shall begin to share about an exciting feature that John and I did for Suitcase Mag- the first travel and fashion online magazine. It was done many months ago but I’m glad that nothing has been procrastinated to as far as a year yet (please excuse me while I try hard to maintain some optimism).

It is always a lot of fun being photographed by John and I (forever) wonder what sort of magical photography skills he holds that his pictures always turns out better than the reflection I see on the mirror. The editors enjoyed the photos so much that they even had it featured in the 4^th issue of Suitcase Magazine that has been on sale across the UK and across the rest of the globe. I hope this did not come out too late for anyone else to catch the feature on the mag. It was my pleasure to share with the rest of the world my favourite places to visit, food to try and shopping to do in our lion city. I really hope this helped many tourists and even locals to source for the best in our beautifully blessed city.

Small Fry

Back to school, back to blue.

It's actually getting quite funny that i'm wearing so much blue even after having to wear blue pinafores to school for the past eleven years. It's as though i haven gotten enough of the uniform look but i can't help it especially since i feel most comfortable in that colour. I am aware of the number of posts on blue outfits, but i can't help that either, so please be tolerant. Maybe just some time, when i change a little bit more, something else may take over the blue clue's trend. When i stop being such an old fashion. Or never. Who knows, other than God.

So, small fry was loved by a super cool bean from Wellington. He has the most amazing clothing like a dragon baggy jersey that i was super tempted to grab despite of it being over over-size. However, due to my indecisiveness, some other cool lady took it off the rack. Other than that, he was giving everything away as though they were all such small fry. It's a pity that i didn't have more time in welly, if not…i would love to see his wardrobe. My blood would rush and my heart would beat so fast, i may just die in welly.

In fact, i almost went cuckoo.

Right, the weekend flea markets (and not forgetting the food markets) all around welly was amazing. There were so many streets to rushed to, food to taste, people to talk to, museums to visit and only three days in welly. It was surely not enough especially since there were so many job vacancies available for girls like us that even worked in an orchard. Nonetheless, I'm super thankful and glad to have made it during the weekends-when everything gets even more happz and loud in welly.

Dang. The alarm has gone and i should get up from (day) dreaming already. It's time to get back to my mundane assignments. Anyway, here's cheers to an exciting weekend!

May, i've missed you

Hebe's here, May is here.

The air is fresh and the the birds are free.

School's out, let's scream and shout, it's time for a party theme!

Ok

I thought i was going to be excited to party but my senses are telling me to chill bananas instead.

Maybe a trip to an art cafe to paint with a friend or do (bad) portraits for people at 10cents in 1 minute.

 Just a few things i want to do before i work and travel at NZ.

Unfortunately, i haven gotten enough of canvases and painting from school.

The houndstooth blazer is starting to make me feel comfortable after keeping it warm in my cupboard for a year since my last trip to LA. It's quite __ because there are still a couple more clothing bought since last year that i haven worn. I don't know why i never pulled them out of the wardrobe too.

Here

Are some accessories that are sentimental to me, mostly pass down from different old people with different stories of their jewelries. The gold patent bracelet has the ten commandments and every word is well inscribed. It probably is the most meaningful jewelry i own thus far. I mean, really, it's the ten commandments right. What can beat it.

Trousers-Uniqlo, Blazer-Forever21, Boots-Aus, Bag-Coach, Vintage accessories

TGIF!

Although tgif doesn't really gets me excited because for three months it's just going to be HOLIDAY. But i wish you all a happy last day at work and remember to do all things in love!

Feeling the Blues

Photo by John

So i went onto John's tumblr and recognized this outfit that i put together last year. It's quite funny hearing people telling me that the outfit was well put together because the thing about this outfit that was screaming were the rain boots. Can you continue to draw an imaginary lower body with a pair of floral rain boots matched with all the blues? I looked at myself through the bus doors and i giggled at my own reflection. O well, the weather was nasty and i just couldn't think of getting out of the house in anything else but the rain boots.

You would probably know how comfortable i was feeling that day, looking at all the blues i've layered myself under. Again, i just can't tell you how blue helps me to chill bananas. I mean, blue is the colour that i've been drawn to ever since i was a child and after changing my favorite colors for a few times, i'm back to the blue square.

Anyway, the pleated shirt is from American Eagle and i've been wearing it even before i found myself in love with clothing. I know the knitted cardigan is slightly too short for my arms and a bit too tight to button up with layers below, which probably explains the expanded button holes, but c'mon it was from kids section in H&M. It looks just fine with less layers.

Now, the dotty tie... was supposedly for a friend but he soon disappeared from my life so it's mine now. I realized that i've the tendency to get people things and keeping them in the house due to forgetfulness and some other lame reasons. Until i realize that those gifts were still not given out, some of them were already out. I guess it's not too bad a thing afterall, the gifts will still be given to those who never walk away.

Enough about everything related to blue for the night… TGIF! Have a good weekend while i hide under my smelly blanky during this rainy season in the supposedly sunny island.
