Travel essentials

Roomy patterned harem pants are the best for travelling in. These ones even have an elastic waistband which is great for when your stomach expands after you've had one too many in-flight meals.

I read somewhere that it's good to wear black when you travel because if you spill stuff on yourself, any stains will be less obvious. Since I read that, I think I've only ever worn black on planes because I am just the clumsiest thing ever.

These are a bunch of other super awesome things for travel that I recommend (clockwise from left)

Go on an adventure
Purple jewellery pouch: This was a gift and it is great because it's made specifically to carry jewellery. It protects delicate jewellery from potential damage while also being orderly enough inside to keep things in place.
See?? So neat!
Longchamp nylon bag: I've had this bag for years so it's a little beaten up but it's great for travel because it's light, has long shoulder straps so it's comfy to carry, can be zipped up and is foldable. I've heard some people say that you have to beware of it being slashed in the event of robbery so that's definitely something to consider but still a big yes for me. Get yours from the Longchamp section in department stores like Takashimaya, or better yet, from France, because they're way cheaper there.

These foldable Ray Ban Wayfarers are just awesome. My friend Adelle told me about them and I rushed the boo out to buy them for me and it's proven to be of real value for money. While they weren't super cheap, they protect my eyes and they fold away neatly into a cute little box. I got mine from an optical store in People's Park Centre at the great price of S$220 but if you want it delivered to your doorstep, they're also available on Zalora.

I got this bag organiser from TJ Maxx (I think) and it's great for use inside the Longchamp bag because it keeps everything in there neat and tidy. I know Muji also sells pretty decent ones although I'm sure places like Daiso would also carry them and for cheaper too.

My red Longchamp wallet was a gift from my TF4L Seaneee, and it's a nice and compact and has quite a large coin purse section which is important when you can't really recognise the currency so you have to scoop it all out to look at it. I've been using it for years so it's pretty beaten up. He should probably buy me a new one. Now.

Thanks for reading, happy travels!

That casual t-shirt feeling

YAY IT IS FRIDAY and I get to wear t-shirts and flats to work! 

So I was doing my usual online surfing when I chanced upon these t-shirt gems that I will absolutely not be wearing or maybe only saving for reaaaaally special occasions.

Uordhk to you too
The grammar nazi in me died. First I thought this tee was saying 'u dork' but it's not even English. Would possibly wear if I was playing quarterback number 23 in the alien species Gazorbalobblorb's annual tentacleball match against the triblorbazorbs from the planet CX678Trizorb. One can only dream.
But don't.
I dislike strangers touching me immensely so this wouldn't work so well for me. But I would totally gift this to a touchy friend so that all her needs can be met without her even saying a word. I'm just helpful like that. 

Now that's just mean
Entirely possible someone might be using this exact phrase to describe me but let's hope not. Would not wear. 

The real question is why there are so many holes in a new tee
Would not wear because we all know I ain't a teenager anymore. Obviously. 

Thanks for reading this completely pointless post. However, if you feel particularly Uordhkian today, or you need some loving, or you want to be excessively rude, then you can visit Sheinside for all these beauties and more.

Not a supermodel

My love affair with the white t-shirt started when I started reading fashion magazines - I'd see leggy supermodels wearing their white tees paired with some distressed jeans and I thought, 'hey that seems easy'. I was sorely disappointed. My body proportions are not like those of a supermodel (GASP WHAT A SHOCK) so I kinda just looked like a stumpy little Giordano salesgirl.

This is not me.
I've given up the dream of the white tee and jeans combo (plus it is just too hot to wear jeans most days) but I'll take that leather jacket, Giselle. GIMME.

Thanks for reading!

I've gone through a bunch of fashion phases, nothing too drastic I think, but definitely memorable in my opinion.

I had a bit of a Barbie meets Rogue phase.
Clearly so happy that my bikini line was eating into my shoulder
Apparently I was also Lorde before she became famous and cool.  #originalhipster
Taken with my Nokia phone camera hence the magnificent quality
Then there was the time I forgot how to wear shirts and necklaces.
How does one even caption such glory?
I just feel like this look of striped maxi skirt and t-shirt is totally a departure from the old me who would never think to wear brown, orange and yellow because I didn't like those colours. I guess I've grown as a person so you should probably elect me as president or something.

Thanks for reading!

Delayed post this week because I declared a holiday for my brain to celebrate a friend's birthday on Friday night, a friend's marriage solemnisation and dinner and the impending lazy Sunday I felt entitled to after my busy week. Of course what this means is MORE OUTFITS! Yaaaaaayyy!!!

Thanks for reading, happy Hari Raya Puasa and yaaaaay for the long weekend!

Greetings! I had a three day business trip to KL again and I was feeling really lazy to do the whole mix and match shebang so I decided to keep things really simple. I think black and white make a great easy combo and mostly black outfits mean that even if I spill something on myself (this happens frequently), it won't show up.

And then I decided that a good way to make it look like I had really thought it through was to pretend I had a running theme - Bows. So yes. basically, lazy fashion because packing can be a chore and I am a clumsy butt.

Thanks for reading, I missed you too!
