Summer Swim Swim Essentials

Waffle Swim Cap with Chin Strap

I LOVE SUMMER. The weather is hot (even though the heat is kinda killing me!), and it’s always fun to hit the pool during this time of the year. Fashion156.com listed the summer’s most wanted and I call it the ’swim swim’ essentials. Are you ready to make a big splash?

I’m a big fan of one-piece swimwear. Live you pinup fantasies with this La Veddette’s Jane polka dot swimsuit which I’m crushing on! Or, get trigger-happy with this quirky camera print swimsuit *snap*snap*

How can you live without the necessary accessories? The sunnies! And, funky shoes! Look ultra-cool with these Karen Walker Deep Freeze sunglasses. I want to get my hands on these sleek black Opening Ceremony shoes.

More hot one-piece suits! Perfect to hide that bulge and add a little mystery to your nekkidness. If only Singapore carries American Apparel Nylon Tricot Bandeau Swimsuit, sigh. Or look innocent in white in this Lover Crochet swimsuit. Are we hitting the pool yet?

Of Asymmetry & Hoods

Back to school *groans* I dragged myself to school after work and by the time I’m home, it’s 11pm. My blog posts are going to be a wee-late for the next couple of months. I was surfing Hint magazine and I was captivated by their ‘Streetniks’ fashion editorial that emphasizes on asymmetry and hoods. I love the usage of vintage cameras as props in this spread - here’s a sneak peek:

These Rick Owens coats are freakin’ amazing. I want them. The vintage Leica camera makes me wanna take photographs again - I miss developing films and looking through the viewfinder, and not LCD screen.

You only expect fabulous creations from Viktor & Rolf. And, this coat dress says it all. Shoes are from Celine, and tights from American Apparel.

This picture is my favourite. There’s something hauntingly beautiful about this Azzedine Alaia’s dress. That vintage camera is a Yashicamat. What a keeper.

Seeing double? Both dresses are from Sept & Imane Ayissi. Definitely more tastefully done than a hair commercial. You don’t get symmetry in the direction of the hair flying.

Now, for a kooky piece. This pop-up dress is by Felipe Oliveira Baptista that spells f-u-t-u-r-i-s-t-i-c-. Fashion forward? You decide.
