Singapore is so hot so I can't do without my paper fans from Daiso (matching really not on purpose)

Take in some art

When you're working in a corporate environment, things don't usually get that creative unless you count the paper clip art that I make whenever my hands are idle (basically just twisting them out of shape till it breaks. I call that 'deconstructive art' because I am an artist).

Imagine my joy when I found one of my favourite paintings on a skirt.It's culture for my butt you guys! I wonder how Van Gogh would feel if he saw me swishing about using his painting to cover my lower body.  I'm sure if he was alive, he'd be totally thrilled and be tweeting/instagramming/facebooking this momentous occasion. You're very welcome, Vincent.

Anyway, thanks for reading, remember, art is good for the soul so go get yourself some paperclips and start deconstructing.

Candy

Have you ever wondered who designs carpets?

 As I daintily pranced about in today's outfit (read: stomped about the supermarket enjoying the air conditioning), I thought I looked a bit like cotton candy which reminded me of the Mandy Moore song 'Candy'. The music video had her sitting in pastel coloured Volkswagon Beetles singing about how some dude is sweet like candy, or something. This video made me a) want a Beetle, b) eat a lot of gummy bears, and c) want to give myself an alliterative pop star name.

Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that baby pink and pastel accents make me look a bit younger and as the chairperson of the anti-ageing club for vainpots, you can expect to see me in pink from now on.

Thanks for reading, as the song goes, it's like sugar to my heart. (DIABETES????)

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!

Stiff competition

Dress: ASOS (Similar here and here) | Shoes: Repetto (Similar here)

Who wore it better? Me...

... Or this vase?

Stag ring: Flea market find from Cyn (Similar here) | Bracelets: Dorothy Perkins (Similar here)

Bag: Vintage Celine from Cyn (Similar here)

I'm generally quite passive aggressive but a little healthy competition once in a while is good for me. It's always a good push to make me try to improve myself. For today's outfit, I guess I was competing with a Chinese vase. It's a tough fight:

Flattering the figure - Vase has curves, Alex needs a push-up bra.
Vase: 1 Alex: 0
Effort - Alex has a stag ring that can poke eyes out. Vase is a vase.
Vase: 1 Alex: 1
Overall polish - Vase has a smooth sheen, Alex can't wear nail polish because her nails will break off and great sadness will overwhelm her.
Vase: 2 Alex 1

VASE WINS! Thanks for reading, I hope you were rooting for the animate creature (me, not vase).

Hello! While you were probably struggling to get out of bed this morning because you were up late watching the World Cup finals, I was struggling to find an outfit that matched. Clearly I failed. I decided to give up the fight for matchymatchy coordination and go in the opposite direction. Boss man said the shirt and skirt didn't go well together but all I hear is 'avant garde' la la la la I can't hear you.

Thanks for reading, hope you weren't too late for work today. But if you were, and your boss got mad, just tell him/her 'la la la la la I can't hear you'. Totally works.
