Bananas

So I had already written this post and then when I went to edit it, the whole draft went totally bonkers and I had to delete it all. Some could say that the post went totally bananas. HURHURHUR. 

I used to be quite concerned about how people saw me but nowadays I'm really pleased to let my freak flag fly and just be all out bananas so I thought it'd be cool to have a banana dress and a banana phone cover. Do you think the Sophia Webster banana shoes would be too much?

What's not to love about bananas? They are high in potassium which is good for something... I think... And they are super delicious as an afternoon snack and can be made into a kickass chocolate banana cake that is making me drool just thinking about it. 

Also, the word 'bananas' has a lot of the letter A in it and we all know that A is the best letter because A is for Alex. YAY! 

So eat some bananas, wear some bananas and then go bananas! Thanks for reading!

Once upon a time, there was a princess who enjoyed wearing button down dresses. However, as the day went on, inevitably, the girl would move around, and the spaces between the buttons would occasionally not sit as flatly and so, her stomach and chest would sometimes be 'open for business'. She would spend her days fidgeting and pulling at the seams, to ensure the garment lay flat and closed. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not succeed. She was embarrassed and grew despondent. She retreated to her castle, vowing to burn her button down dresses and refused to come out.

One day, a knight in shining armour (by the way, this is a female knight, kinda like Brienne of Tarth but not so tall) came to her rescue. This knight told her that all she needed to do was to sew press studs in between those spaces and clip them shut and she would be boobs-ahoy no longer. The girl began sewing press studs for all her button down dresses (erm, new ones, cos she burned the old ones), and she emerged from behind her castle walls adorned in her new button down dress with no less than 10 press studs in between.

The townsfolk rejoiced and the princess renamed the village 'hot studs' and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.

The moral of the story is that the females in my life are awesome at sharing tips with me to make me less of a fashion tragedy. Thanks ladies! Thanks for reading everybody.

Stand around. Bad shot but deal wit' it. Shoes: Pedder Red

I hardly ever wear pants because I get hot easily and am a sweaty human being but this whole getup is my go-to outfit for business trips because it's super comfy and professional. Plus it makes me feel like a cool person to be wearing a slightly androgynous all black outfit. 

On a previous trip to KL, I wore this outfit and was doing that whole cool swagger down the aisle of the plane as if I was Singapore's Next Top Model and I was certain all the seated passengers were staring in awe. Then another passenger gestured over to me and I thought, 'must be an autograph seeker'. Actually, I thought maybe he thought I was an air stewardess because clearly logical thought doesn't enter my brain. Anyway, he then proceeded to tell me that one of my buttons at my chest had come unbuttoned. Free peep show!

Instead of saying something cool, or even thanking him, I cursed a particularly uncouth Hokkien swear word and rushed to my seat in shame as my face started glowing bright red. VERY COOL.

Status report for today's trip: Meetings went well, no unexpected boob appearances.

Thanks for reading, business can resume as per normal.
