ZIP CLUTCH

The making of this clutch started with spring cleaning of my room. I found a zip and fabric from my previous DIY shopping. The next thing that happened was doing a quick sketch, doing some measurement and off I went sewing that night. I've to admit that this clutch isn't exactly practical as I've used a soft and stretchy fabric, once I store something inside it stretches and becomes very flimsy; it doesn't "stand". Might be doing a few changes to improve the usage of the clutch over the week but it will stay more or less like that on the outside.

BACKSTAGE: AFF 2012

Some belated photographs at the backstage of this year's Singapore Audi Fashion Festival held at Orchard Tent in May. I volunteered as a backstage dresser for Raoul and got to watch Future Fashion Now from the backstage. It was an eye opener as I saw how a fashion show runs behind the runway and a moment for me to feel like a dwarf amongst the models. Raoul presented an A/W collection of 60s mod, I quite like the minimalistic 60s silhouette. I saw models doing their grooming and practising their walk backstage for hours and within minutes the show is done. This was how my experience as a dresser for AFF went, quite unforgettable!

DAD'S PATCHED ELBOW

sweater Dad's from H&M

skirt The Scarletroom

cuff H&M

clutch Hong Kong

Borrowing my Dad's sweater because he doesn't wear it often, claiming that its only suitable during Fall. Such a pity seeing it lying in his wardrobe and since I can endure the heat better than him after my frequent "training" in wearing double/triple layers or knits in humid Singapore, I took his sweater out to wear. Despite the fact that the sleeves are too long for my arm (because its for men hence the patch design is located below my elbow) and I do still feel the heat in it, its really comfy in it. These are shot by my dad!

P.S, updated new items, help my out here.

RECUPERATION

During the past few days of recuperation:

I drank gallons of water in my moustache cup and watched films by timeless icons. Made my own healthier meal without oil or salt (honest fact - scramble egg is the only thing I can cook apart from instant noodles). Finally getting all the sleep I want while snugging in and out of my cardigan as my body temperature fluctuates. Reading Influence again, it never gets old. Side note - the John Galliano dress worn by MK is gorgeous.

WE PART TO MEET AGAIN

shirt Runway Bandits

shorts H&M

bag Bershka

A casual outfit for my inaugural visit to the newly open Garden By The Bay. The place looked nicely built but I felt how it is all so man made put together in the context of nature rather odd. The ever humid weather here in Singapore makes dressing up a little lazier for me. Anyway, I'm starting school in less than a week..mixed feelings!
