If I Were A Boy...

6.10.10





...even just for a day, I would have stocked up on varying shapes and styles of classic loafers and brogues from the moment I could walk. As much fun as it is to tower over everyone else for the most part, I also like to engage conversation without having people stare up my nostrils. I like taking group photos where my entire being is in the picture instead of getting cut of at the neck; which is why I love flat shoes (asides from the comfort factor of course).

However, it has always been a tad bit more difficult to find a pair of flats that actually work. Either they don't carry them in my size, the cut doesn't work on my high arches or the style is just a little off.That's where brogues, oxfords and loafers come into play. They are cut high enough to accomodate my high arches, and the near-ubiquity of them these days, means that I would be hard pressed not to find a style that I like. I currently have my eyes on the above two.  

Are you liking the idea of menswear even on the feet?

Chunky Knit

21.9.10





It’s what I look forward to as soon as the cool fall weather rolls around. But the words 'chunky' and 'knit' brings to mind those jumper you receive from grandma at Christmas, with a big santa right in the middle, that ends up buried in the deepest darkest corner of your closet. Either that or the prissy twin sets you wear to school as a young girl with your matching ruffled socks and little mary-janes. Ahhhh, I do miss those times! 

Now that there's a bit of a nip in the air, there's nothing I like more that being all warm and cozy. And this cardi came in very handy for yesterday's confusing weather where a coat was too warm, and a jacket to chilly. Since I'd rather not nip the waist in with a belt, I decided to add some pins/brooches to keep it from looking too bland. I'm in the middle of embellishing this further with all the random pins, earrings, brooches, rings, and other pieces of jewellery lying around my flat.  

PS: A big thank you to Emma from Daily Clothes Fix and Jasmine from The Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes for the lovely blog awards. Means a lot!

PSS: I did an interview with Britty from Woodstock Hearts Fashion. If, you're interested in the slightest, click here. Thanks Britty!

Wishing you all a warm and fuzzy Tuesday!
