Night Bird





Split maxi skirt: Bardot
Cobalt top: $10 from Chicabooti or some other nondescript store
Clutch: Ebay
Necklace and cuff: ASOS
Belt: Vintage off eBay
Heels: eBay

After nine months, I've finally replaced my 50mm. Hurray for creamy bokeh goodness! Hurray for Gumtree! Hurray for not getting killed after meeting strangers in fast food restaurants to exchange money and lenses!





Tato and Memi's A/W '12 collection - "Night Bird" is nothing short of incredible. Had a little chat with Marijana, the co-designer which confirmed the inspiration behind the little tweed jackets and sleeves and beautiful draping and tailoring - her recent trip to Paris. I'm a bit of a self confessed human magpie so there were overwhelming urges to grab all the beautiful sequinned pieces with my teeth and run back home to my bed to hoard them underneath my pillow. The lovely maids from Tailormaid were kind enough to leave a basket of macarons to the destroying force that is my stomach.

P.S. Don't forget to enter the Wild Hearts bustier giveaway! There's just under a week left.





Delicious Lindt Delice macarons. Learnt the difference between macaroons and macarons! Not that I'll remember. Just like how I've spent my entire life pronouncing Skype the way my Asian mother has - "Sky-pee".




Dallas and Carlos necklace




Tweed sleeve blazer with matching tweed shorts. I don't think there are any two words that fit together as perfectly as "Tweed" and "Suit". Besides, maybe, "Hot" and "Dogs".

More sequin detail! It's like a sequin party I'm not invited - instead forced to watch from the sidelines as tears slide down my cheeks.

some of this clothing is just ridiculously gorgeous. esp that jacket you're wearing and the tweed sleeve blazer, i think my soul died a little inside. PERFECT OK.

Such a chic, well put together, color-blocked look. Adore the leopard print wallet as well.

Glad you have a new 50mm! Oh, the clothes are just amaaaazing! The Tweed Jacket you're wearing in the picture is beautiful, I love the color of it.
Your outfit is great too, the necklace and cuff just complete it in such a great way. Your max skirt is beautiful too.

Take Care!

I want more of the macarons now by the way. I could live off them forever.

You look gorgeous with your outfit. Though its simple but the colors were cute and blended well with each other. The accessories were also cool. It added an edge to your outfit.
