Isn’t it a lovely day? I walked down to Starbucks at The Cathay this morning for a quick study session with a venti-size Ice Caffe Latte (nope, I don’t so soy milk). It’s actually quite nice to study there (at the outdoor patio area) as the wind was blowing and it wasn’t humid. I had one quality hour of studying before I embarked on a 4-HOUR shopping trip in Orchard Road. Bad girl. I know. I couldn’t resist it - I love most of ZARA’s latest collection. I saw the exact replica of the metal studded belt that Carrie Bradshaw wore in the SATC movie - but they didn’t have my size and it costs SGD$89.90. I bagged another one from the TRF section at SGD$29.90. Hah, works for me. And, I got these patent pointy-toed shoes which is totally perfect. I’ve been looking for these for awhile now, but I’ve never tried one that I truly love. This is love at first sight, literally. And, they’re comfortable too. Maybe I should wear them with red socks like TraiT. LOL.

This is LOVE at first sight. From TRF by ZARA.

My metal studded waist-belt. Yum.

I got these from Substance at Isetan Shaw. I couldn’t resist them!

This is the inspiration from the SATC movie.

Mansita, 26, Dramatic Writing student at Tisch Asia

I met Mansita today in the library (yes, our teeny, very empty library) and we were candidly chatting about rain boots! I absolutely heart her top which she got them from Uniqlo. The print is completely random but very nice. I need basic black boots since it’s so much easier to match with everything else. Mansita’s also a photographer - can’t wait to see her work!!

This morning’s rain was an instant killer! I quickly thought of my rainboots (I think I need more right now) and maybe black tights? Wottoncool and Fashionation have been blogging about their ‘warm’ wears about two days ago. Today, it’s my turn! I finally got to wear my denim dress that I bought from Black Market Art. And, I also received my little package today from bleudame.com - hurrah!! I finally got my two-tone wayfarers (ripped-offs, unfortunately) and my tie-dye scarf. They’re not very expensive, so try shopping with them!

Jacket from MNG, Denim Dress from Black Market Art, Tights from Bugis Market, Rain Boots from Plueys, Wayfarers from bleudame.com

Presents!! Haha, who doesn’t love receiving packages?

Upclose and personal with my “Made in Italy” tie-dye scarf.

Lick my Wayfarers. Now, do I look F1 ready?

Forget 2.55 - I freakin’ want these! This is “Chanel’s new chain calfskin flap bag is aptly named the Mademoiselle and is a rock and rollin’ rendition of the original classic” and in my humble opinion, this is the winner. It’s young, fresh and c’mon - look at those chains! This is my new “IT” bag and I should start saving hurr? Maybe after I finish paying off my semester fees.

Bubster, get me a Mademoiselle for Christmas!

My friend, Simon Lee started a podcast (a big hit, actually) with a fellow chipmunk (pun intended!), Alvin. The KL-based guys is no stranger to the local music scene as they were the voice behind  Cyberjaya.FM, DJ@WORK, musiccanteen Top 10. Now, I present to you: Radio KUL. The Malaysian podcast that “brings you a signature mix with it’s diverse playlist covering different styles of EDM with new releases and classic tracks. Sit back and enjoy this weekly selection of vocal melodic, uplifiting, and sometimes experimental tunes”. Here’s a quick interview with the chipmunks:

Why did the chipmunks start a podcast?

SL & A: We tried but as you can see we are missing a third member. Unless you’d like to join us ?

Unfortunately, my name is not Theodore. What’s your favourite music?

SL & A: As you can tell from the radio show we’re big fans of electronic dance music (EDM), mostly trance and progressive, but anything electronic is wonderful!

Name top three reasons why we should tune in to Radio KUL.

SL & A: It tends to be different and more diverse than other mixshows out there. (At least we try to keep it as diverse and accessible as possible lol). This is a party of sorts on each episode, a meeting of musical minds of some of EDM’s finest genuises and artistes, and an uplifting emotional journey for the listeners. So you’re in the car, at work, on the way to school, this is great a podcast to listen to and put you on a float trip. Only problem is you could break into a dance or start weeping in public lol. Raised hair, shivering, some of the side effects if you’re really tuned in. But, it’s a great introduction to dance music, it’s very accessible, so everyone is welcomed, you’ll see EDM is not as predictable and shallow as some claim. How many reasons was that ? We should keep going.. Haha.

New episodes are broadcasted every Friday at 1900 GMT +0800. Check it out.

It’ll be interesting to see what’s going on. I doubt I’ll be there - let’s see how the studying goes. Having a good week? I recently discovered the “power” of Facebook - if you think no one is reading your status, you’re wrong. Well, a part of me like to make things public - and a part of me didn’t wanna cause drama. Then again, I can’t help it because I’m a natural born drama queen. People make mistakes in life, in order to learn. So here’s a lesson learnt: mind your own bloody business. Life is never easy right?

F1 fever is EVERYWHERE! We’re only TWO DAYS away from the first F1 night race in Singapore! Are you having a fashion dilemma yet? No worries, PUMA set the style for Singaporeans what to wear to this prestigious world’s first event at the “Rev Up Your Style” fashion and design show held on August 26th at VivoCity. I know, I’m very late in reporting events. Then again, it’s never too late to hit PUMA shops and plan your three-day outfits because you want to be comfortable and stylish at the same time. The big names who attended the show include Host Paula Malai Ali who opened the show by announcing the guests: Singapore’s youngest professional formula racing driver Hafiz Koh, MediaCorp Artiste Daren Tan and Jade Seah. Here’s a quick peek from the runway:

The fashion students of Raffles Design Institute set the runway alive with unique and revved up styles as they competed in four different teams, all striving to showcase PUMA’s passion for Motorsport and that unique Singaporean sense of style.

The judges were most impressed by Team 1 and their funky revved up styles and awarded them with attractive prizes from PUMA as well as watches from PUMA Time.

Did I see a pink belt? Nice!!

Say “cheesseeeee!” The judges. Let me present to you (from left): Lecture of Fashion Design Brian Forst, GM of PUMA Sports Singapore Sheryl Wong, Fashion Show Producer Daniel Boey and of course, the lovely Nominated Member of Parliament Miss Eunice Olsen.
