<span style="font-family: inherit;">For some reason, my mind has been quite the mess as of late. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was
very challenging trying to pick out an outfit for this location - none of them really sat quite right with my inner fashion
critic. All the pieces I put together looked a tad gauche when matched with the
high ceilings and slate coloured shutters. To my surprise, it was in one of the most unexpected
places from which I drew inspiration and assembled this getup, ironically, in a
matter of minutes - my mom. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I usually never borrow anything from her; her style is
markedly different than mine. I know not what possessed me to decide to have a
look in her closet, but it was in those two minutes that my outfit woes came to
a sudden close.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If
you're a seasoned reader, first of all, thank you. Second of all, you'll know
that there was a point back in time where I completely refused to be dressed in
any form of all white, nude toned outfit - much less a midi skirt, the horror. As such, this colour palette of white, blush tones, and just a splash of black
is probably the <a href="http://incipientdreams.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/playing-for-keeps.html">antithesis of my style circa 2012. </a></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not only
was this outfit hard to put together, writing for it was also ridiculously hard for some reason. Believe it or not. I've spent the last two weeks,
dusting out the far corners of my rather fried brain, frantically trying to
wring out any last dredges of literary inspiration. It has been drafted,
re-drafted, scrapped, rewritten more times than I can remember. A couple nights ago I went out on a last minute meeting with a long-time friend, which I
was actually planning on postponing due to other commitments, but ended up not
doing so. Said friend and I don't talk much, save for our meetings which are
few and far between. But as we got talking, the conversation of the night was what got my creative juices flowing. And here I am the next day, words bursting out of me faster than I can type, and too much than appropriate for one blogpost. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So what
exactly, is the point of me rambling on about how this post came to be, you
ask? I can hear the thought bubbles hovering above your heads: " <span style="font-style: italic;">I honestly can't be bothered about
how you put this together, much less how you had a writers block and dumbly
resolved it by engaging in social interaction. I just kind of want to laugh at
what derp faces you have for me in this post. "</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My point
is this: Serendipity happens. Those of you who know me in real life
will know I'm a right cynic about the way the world works and the way in which
good things come into fruition. But the past month has just been filled with
constant reminders that little good things will come to you, even if you don't think they will. Like finding the fifty
dollars I thought I lost while very reluctantly cleaning my room, or meeting an amazing person at an event I was rather dismissive of and only decided to go to five minutes before my dad left for it. To loosely quote Mitch Albom - </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: italic;">miracles
happen quietly every day. </span></div>

I'll be frank with you, I am thoroughly not an early <i>'LET'S GET EVERYTHING DONE'</i> morning kind of person. Say hello to your next-door night owl whose optimal functioning hours start from midnight and onward. As such, the waking demands of a typical nine-to-six job don't sit very well with my notorious nocturnal tendencies, which have resulted in many a day of oversnoozing and blatantly sleeping through alarms. You can imagine how that would put my morning routine into absolute chaos. I am all too familiar with trying to wash my face and brush my teeth at the same time, having an eyelash curler in my right hand and trying to apply blush with the left <i>(which did end badly)</i>, or precariously hopping around on one foot as I try to simultaneously gather my things and put on some socks. I mean, there's no one there to witness my morning mishaps, thank god, but I'm sure they look pretty funny. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I more or less embrace the ups and downs of working life, I also find my wardrobe transitioning more into the muted hues of whites, blacks and the occasional pastel, just because a whole wardrobe of basics is so much easier to match when you have the, for me, maybe not-so,<i> </i>occasional morning mishap. This post documents the essence of my go-to basic pieces whenever I'm in a time crunch and can trust will match, no matter which pieces my hands touch first.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gents, you have it easy - slip on any office dress code appropriate shirt and pants and you're pretty much ready to go. I'm not too sure if anyone would notice if you wore the same white shirt three days in a row, though if you start to smell, I'm quite sure I would.<i> </i>And no, copious amounts of deodorant is <i>most definitely not</i> a shower replacement<i>.</i> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So to all the ladies, here's my take on the closet basics that you need to invest in: A pair of nude heels, a fun coloured minimalist bag, a shift dress that is work appropriate or can be glam-ed up for a night out after, and since I've never been one to be frugal with the sparkles - a versatile statement necklace. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So everyone, pray tell, what are the basics you can't live without? I mean, besides coffee, of course. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you've read <a href="http://incipientdreams.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/whitewashed.html">my previous blogpost</a>, you'll know that I was quite taken with the <a href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=victoria+concert+hall&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=OoALVdWmE425uATAkYIw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg&biw=1366&bih=643">brand spanking new interior</a> of Victoria concert hall, which got me musing about the predicament of living in a globalizing and shrinking world. As such, I have been on the hunt for locations in this concrete jungle that still retain a touch of their colonial charm. The next place on my checklist was the <a href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=victoria+concert+hall&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=OoALVdWmE425uATAkYIw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg&biw=1366&bih=643">Singapore Art Museum</a>, another old haunt pulled out from the memories of my teenage years spent on school excursions and relishing in the fact that there was no work to be done that day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This location is arguably one of my favourites yet - lots of clean, white space with an added touch of benches and artwork for you to go about questioning your quarter-life existential crisis. The museum displays a significant collection of work by quite a number of Southeast-Asian contemporary and modern artists. The beautifully restored colonial-era mission school is also now house to a variety of cafes and restaurants as well as quaint little stores that sell local crafts and products. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You've heard me complaining countless times on my blog about the sweltering heat in Singapore - I know not what possessed me to purchase this outerwear, and wear it on this shoot with my photographer <a href="https://instagram.com/randytann/">Randy</a> whose camera was SO SHARP you could zoom in to see the beads of perspiration on my upper lip. Not glamorous at all, I can tell you that. In retrospect, my first mistake was probably just trying it on - trying things on does no favors to your wallet, believe me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i></i>The clean lines of this architecture remind me oddly of <a href="http://www.zara.com/">ZARA tailoring</a>, which is why I chose to wear the mid length tailored blazer and the white blouse I'm sporting - two of my newest wardrobe additions. That, and every time I step into either the Singapore Art Museum or a ZARA store, look around and take a deep breath, everything seems right in the world again. </div>

As a cityscape country, Singapore is quite well known for it's modern and abstract architecture, with a touch of avant garde. But as I (rather ashamedly) took on the role of a tourist in the country I've practically lived my whole life in, I realized there are little pockets of old colonial architecture that hasn't yet been obliterated by skyscrapers, apartment buildings and the like. This place, Victoria Concert Hall, is one of them. Granted the building has just been restored, but the architecture is still in place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I haven't been to this place since my choir days in primary and secondary school, circa 2003 to 2010 when we used to practice for days and weekends on end in preparation for the annual Singapore Youth Festival competitions, or for performances we were going to. I distinctly remember the dressing rooms had mirrors with light bulbs in front of it - old Hollywood glamour esque - and nine-year-old me was probably more excited about those grimy backstage mirrors than the actual performance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There is something rather enthralling about high ceilings and clean walls that stimulates thought - though I think it is more of the space than anything else. So bear with me as I spew my two cents worth. Living in a sardine can, it's pretty hard to find such quiet and clean space in which you can just take some time for yourself to reflect and breathe. Every day is a race of finishing work, doing things, running errands - trying desperately to <i>get somewhere or something done</i> - that we are constantly living in the future instead of the present. I don't mean to say the future isn't important, but it's a right shame we too often neglect the present; we live in it. </div>

Doing my nails is another luxury I like to indulge in; having nicely manicured nails always makes me feel that tiny bit more dressed up than I already am. Here's a quick post on my favourite set of nails yet, and a sneak peek at a new addition to my bag family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After lusting over my favourite blogger <a href="http://www.paledivision.com/">Willabelle</a>'s nails for a very long time, I decided it was time to bite the bullet. It was in the christmas of 2013 that I paid my first visit to <a href="https://thenailartelier.wordpress.com/">The Nail Artelier</a>, a little shop house nestled in the heart of Singapore's Haji Lane. One of their nail artists set me up with <a href="http://incipientdreams.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/tis-season-to-be-merry.html">this adorable set of christmas themed nails</a>, and I was sold. I have since made it a point to visit them every time I return during the semester breaks, resulting in <a href="http://incipientdreams.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/iridescent.html">this set</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/p/qGYVmZQEuD/?modal=true">this set</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This marbled, geometric, iridescent masterpiece is the handiwork of Ying who is at their Kembangan branch. They are able to do any sort of nail art you want - portraits, anime characters, intricate lace designs, 3D nail art and textures - you name it, they do it. I leave you their <a href="http://instagram.com/thenailartelier">Instagram page </a> for your perusal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've visited my fair share of bad nail salons - those that roughly remove gel manicures, destroying your nails in the process, to those that charge an exorbitant $20 extra during Chinese New Year and don't tell you until after you're done. But The Nail Artelier is by far the best and most professional I have ever been to. Each time I visit them I am satisfied and impressed with their work; all their nail artists are skilled and meticulous. They always deliver exactly what you want and I can guarantee you will not leave disappointed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll give it to you that they are on the pricey side, but for this quality of work - in the words of Taylor Swift - "<i>The high was worth the pain". </i></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">I can't believe how fast the first month of 2015 has passed. Where did that whole month go? But aha! While that means the depth of winter for those of you in New York <i>(I heard about the blizzard, bundle up, everyone!)</i>, or the height of the summer haze for those in the land down under, for me it means my favourite time of the year is almost upon us. Oh yes, I said it. I like February way more than I do Christmas. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">For those of you who haven't figured it out yet - February heralds the approaching of the Chinese New Year fesitivities. At this point I could write an essay about what goes on during the celebrations, but here's the tl;dr: We go on shopping sprees for a new wardrobe, because it's good luck to welcome the New Year with NEW ERRTHANG. We wear said new wardrobe to visit relatives and friends where we feast on traditional cookies, cakes, </span><i style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakkwa">bak kwa</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yusheng">yusheng</a>, </i><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">hotpot and a truckload of other good food. Relatives give you </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_envelope" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><i>red pockets</i> </a><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">with money in them. An all encompassing excuse to shop, pocket money, good food and good company. Who could want for more? </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the spirit that you should wear a little colour during Chinese New Year, here's a post with a blush-toned palette at Melbourne's iconic Brighton Beach, to take a break from my favourite black and whites. I couldn't leave without doing a shoot here, of course. This gingham skirt sat in my ASOS 'saved items' page for a really, <i>really </i> long time till one day the discount god bestowed a 70% blessing upon us for two days. What can I say - this skirt and the beach took to each other like they were always meant to be, and had this gorgeous baby of a shoot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The sun was abysmally bright, making it a pain in the tush to shoot anything at all, and I felt like I was being microwaved alive, but even I long for the burning heat and cool waters as I put my nose to the daily grind. </span><br />

Well not really in comfort, because on the contrary apparently typing is all I need to do in this weather to work up a line of sweat beads along my hairline. I'm also going to be starting an internship soon, so let me revel one last time in the pleasure of cropped, midriff- baring tops, asymmetric hems, chunky boots and my hair all loose in the wind before I have to subject myself to the horrors of more conservative office wear. <i>-shudder- </i><br />
<br />
<div>
I had planned for this skirt to be shot at a later date after I had gotten rid of that food baby <i>(hahaha I'm heading back to Singapore, who am I kidding?), </i>but seeing as I would be photographer-less in two weeks, there was no way around it. On the flipside, this serves as motivation for myself to get back in shape, and for the bulges of that food baby to grace the face of social media no longer than this one post.<br />
<br />
If you follow me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/rachelmaomao">Instagram</a>, you'll know that I spent the last two weeks in Australia staying with Lily in her house in the suburbs. She was very kind to put me up as I waited for graduation. I can safely say that two weeks later I officially developed suburbititis. It was a sight to behold, for suburbia certainly becomes me.<i> </i>While I did work out <i>occasionally</i>, there wasn't much to do except go to Coles. Days were spent lounging in my pajamas, watching reruns of an old korean drama and treating my mouth like a black hole. The difference being that we don't know where things go when they disappear into black holes - that packet of lemon crisps, however,<i> I can definitely see where that went. </i><br />

So here's the first blogpost of the year with my two cents worth and some photos from my graduation!<br />
<br />
Much of 2014 was spent as a recluse, furiously scribbling away on a notepad and typing out essays and reports for my final year in uni, emerging only for the promise of food that never fails to lure me out of my little self-created hellhole.<br />
<br />
But that aside, 2014 has been pretty pivotal. Despite me still not being able to curb my ASOS tendencies, I've survived the fashion and beauty year, having successfully conquered my <a href="http://incipientdreams.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/checklist.html">fear of pants</a> and <a href="http://incipientdreams.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/scarlet-siren.html">midi skirts</a>, found my godsend hair curler, <a href="http://incipientdreams.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/favourites-november-2014.html">won over a thousand dollars of YSL products</a>, started worshipping the aeropress, stopped having my coffee with milk, become an Aesop convert and gone down the slippery slope of being a blush junkie in the making. All that and I've emerged with a degree in procrastination to boot. My family and friends have all played an irreplaceable part in my journey, and I would I am today without you. Thank you, a thousand times over.<br />
<br />
And this blogpost to round up the year would not be complete without a paragraph as tribute to <a href="http://www.themadingenue.com/">Lily</a>, my friend, without whom this blog would just be sad. This little 4'11 package of wonderful has been the most patient photographer, putting up with my nonsense like asking her to take the same photo 20 times, or me bugging her to go on shoots. But more than that, she's literally my spiritual twin - we correctly guess each other's gifts without opening the wrapping and pick out the same items from a store without knowing it. I also don't think I'll find another person who will dress up to the nines in 20's gear for a swing dance party with me, or understand the importance of setting a leaving time - so we can get ready an hour in advance. As we bid adieu to 2014, I also bid a 6-month long goodbye to her as she ventures into the city that never sleeps for exchange (in which I hope my blog will not be as barren as I fear) - please return with 10 servings of Chipotle for me.<br />
<i><br /></i>
Blogging wise - I've always thought the hardest part about maintaining a blog is trying to start posts. Getting my writing engine going is an excruciating hour long affair of staring at a blank screen, typing a sentence, deleting it, and rewriting it. This one was certainly no exception. And in the end, Surprisingly enough, I almost always go back to the sentence with which I first began.<br />
<br />
This year was pretty much like writing a blogpost. New Year's Eve saw me lying in bed in my slob clothes and hair in a topknot as I looked on everyone prepping for their parties on Instagram. I came to the small realization that this is me coming full circle. Not sure if it's inspirational or sad that I think lying in bed on New Year's Eve is coming full circle, but I realized that these new year traditions like making resolutions exist only because we put them in place. So here's my resolution for 2015: It doesn't need to be New Year's Day for me to make a resolution. Each day is 24 hours, just like the last, equally fresh and new. So don't wait for the new year. Carpe diem - seize the day, the minute, the second, for every little division of time, no matter how infinitely small, is a chance for me to become a better version of myself.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year, everyone, I wish you love and light in 2015.<br />

In the past few months I have rediscovered my inner hermit, written 7,500 words in essays in 6 days (look for the remnants of my stress breakout in the lip closeup below!), had two stress-related mental breakdowns, road tripped in Tasmania, placed more ASOS orders than I ever have in the span of two months, had a roommate since my mom back in the year 2000, become a blush junkie in the making, and successfully finished my first undergraduate degree.<br />
<br />
Over this period I've accumulated a number of beauty products that have been the superhero reincarnate to my life, and I'd thought I'd end this blogging drought by giving everyone something actually useful, instead of just gratuitous pictures of my face (which will come in time, don't worry your little head). Thank you to those out there who stuck around despite the writing silence! Watch this space, more posts coming soon, I promise!<br />
<br />
<b>YSL Blush Radiance No.6</b><br />
I was one of the winners for the YSL Dangeroud Reds competition by Vogue (yay!), and this is one the products that came in the prize set. I'm not a blush kind of person, so I was slightly taken aback at how fluro this blush looks in the compact, but with a light hand, it gives you the most healthy, natural pink glow without being too shimmery or matte, and makes me look so much more awake than I actually am in the morning.<br />
<br />
<b>YSL Pur Couture Glossy Stain No.104</b><br />
Again, something I didn't expect to love so much - I can see all the hype surrounding this product. While this also looks pretty strongly colored, it glides on smoothly in a sheer rosy pink which is buildable. It brightens my complexion and stays put even after a night of drinking and eating. Only downside is it dries slightly sticky, but I can totally deal for such a pretty and long lasting colour.<br />
<br />
<b>Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with avocado </b><br />
Really moisturizing and became an absolute essential for the late nights that I was pulling during my examination period. A little goes a very long way and your undereye area will just drink it up, so it wears beautifully under concealer and foundation if you're looking to use this in daytime skincare routines. Worth every penny!<br />
<br />
<b>Shu Uemura Skin Purifier Cleansing Oil </b><br />
So simple to use, and melts off my war paint in just one minute, including my mascara which will keep my lashes curled even through a thunderstorm (tried and tested, no joke). Does not break me out and keeps my skin soft and hydrated. Just google it's reviews if you'd like more confirmation, but I cannot sing it's praises enough!<br />
<br />
<b>Aesop Rind Concentrate Body Balm/ Resurrection Aromatique hand Balm </b><br />
Savior for my hands and body in Australia's drier climate. Just because it's summer here, doesn't mean you shouldn't moisturize! All you lucky people on the other side of the Earth in winter now - hear me when I say this is godsend. I also have a 'hnnnnng' moment every time I use either of these, because they just smell so good.<br />

So when a little birdie told me of the #YSLDangerousReds photo competition that advertised a year's worth of YSL products, or a trip to Sydney for a photoshoot with photographer Hugh Stewart, I felt it high time I paid homage to this beautiful colour with this stunning number of a skirt.<br />
<br />
Said little birdie and I pulled out all our stops, for the shoot of the most epic proportions was about to go down. Well, I exaggerate, for if you imagine two ridiculously overdressed Asian girls running off to the Royal Exhibition Building you don't exactly get as epic an image as I hoped, but you get the point. I think we'd both agree that this was the most physically trying shoot that we've ever attempted, despite the careless tossing of hair or pensive staring into the distance that <strike>(I hope)</strike> is being depicted. There was much kneeling, sucking in of protruding bellies and sinking of stiletto heels into the grass to be had. But girls, remember, beauty is pain.<br />
<br />
So, #YSLDangerousReds asks me how I wear my red.<br />
<br />
<i>Why, as the center of attention, of course, with panache to boot. </i><br />

I've always struggled with beginning blogposts, as I am right now, so please bear with me as my writing engine sputters to life and we get off to a rather unexciting opening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was only when I noticed that my winter coats were collecting dust in my wardrobe that I realised how backlogged this post was going to be if I didn't get it up soon. That and the fact that the semester is well under way and I am swimming in assignments (but still have time to write a blogpost?). <i>Guess who needs to keep her priorities in check? </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As much as I love blooming flowers, I've always been sad to see the temperatures creeping upwards on the weather forecast. This means bidding adieu to layering it up, cosy winter coats, and welcoming the possibility of perspiration outside gym conditions <i>(the horror). </i>Y'all know how I feel about <a href="http://incipientdreams.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/pastel-hues.html" target="_blank">that</a>. So here's a tribute to the favourites of my winter wardrobe: A versatile slate coloured coat, a viridian velvet top, a printed bodycon skirt (that doesn't blow up in the wind to flash your undies to unsuspecting passers-by), my trusty creeper wedges and that gem of a bag just screaming for attention. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It seems like shades of green are beginning their takover on my blog, but not to worry, my next post promises to flip the spectrum with more of these beautiful jewel tones I've really loving recently. Stay tuned! </div>

It's that time of the year again. Winter holidays, two month long hiatus, what's new?<br />
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
The return of the academic semester saw me being very adventurous with my wardrobe; I bought my first pair of pants in 6 years. Yes, even in winter I donned a skirt/shorts and tights getup, or even worse, simply went bare-legged. I know they keep you warm, but if you're me who prioritizes vanity over comfort, items of restrictive clothing that emphasize my monstrous pear-shaped figure, I can definitely pass up. If I had Gisele B<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.1200008392334px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ü</span></span>ndchen's legs, sure, I'd wear pants made out of potato sacks for all I cared. But when I stepped rather skeptically into this pair of Uniqlo pants-leggings, I was sold. Believe me when I say they're so comfy, it's like wearing leggings. Next up on the fashion checklist: Midi skirts. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 20s club also welcomed it's new member in the month of July. In addition to my irrational fears of small irregular holes and finishing a bottle of shampoo but not the conditioner at the same time <i>(come on, it's not just me, right?), </i>I now fear growing old. Y'know, one day waking up and realizing when you look in the mirror that you've gone wrinkly and own about seven cats. But problems of the quarter life crisis aside, turning the big two-zero has really made me think about my priorities and direction in life. For example, <i>should I get that maxi dress in red or in blue?</i></div>
<br />
Either way, the plan as of today is just to veer further away from making a colossal mess of my life. Wherever that road takes me, I'll deal with as it comes.<br />

For the whole of my time in primary and secondary school, I used to jump out of bed all ready to face the day at 6AM in the morning. Now significantly older than I was then, I sometimes wonder how I managed to get up at such an ungodly hour in the morning. At some point my body decided that it just had had enough of mornings and if I have the mind to, I can now sleep in till two in the afternoon. Especially on Sundays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, it was with complete eagerness that I hauled myself out of bed at 7.30 on the Sunday of the college's annual winery tour. Despite grumpy skies and cold wind, I knew it was going to be a lovely day. When the first thing you ingest in the morning is some smoked salmon nibbles and a flute of bubbly, I don't think the rest of the day can go very wrong. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At 9.30, we all crammed onto the bus and trundled our way down to the various wineries down in the Mornington Peninsula. I felt it was high time I showed my blog some love, so here's a quick photodiary of my adventures of <strike>inebriation</strike> fun through the four wineries we visited, and my unpractical outfit of the day. I did want to keep warm (i.e. wearing tights and sweaters), but eventually vanity won out. Sometimes you just can't have it all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How was the bus on the way back, you ask? <i>Well, to sum it up in an understatement- an hour and a half of absolute chaos.</i></div>

As airheaded as this may sound, I've decided that being surrounded by well dressed people is one of the best feelings in the world. This realization dawned upon me when I was queuing to visit the L'oreal pop up boutique at this year's Melbourne Fashion Festival. Call me what you want, but I looked around me, taking in all the eclectic fashion choices, and had this moment where I just thought to myself: <i>holy shit, I love this. All of it.</i><br />
<br />
Sadly, I didn't have leeway with moolah to buy tickets to the runways I wanted to go to - all of which cost upwards of a hundred dollars. Of course there were more pocket friendly options for the lesser known shows, but then I thought:<i> </i>or I could use this money to buy a new dress... So I just suspiciously lingered around the steps of Docklands Central Pier like a imposter, hoping to catch a glimpse of a famous fashion blogger in the flesh. This went on till hunger and cold won out and I headed back to satisfy the cravings of a rumbling tummy.<br />
<br />
I've mostly done shoots in natural settings, so the harsher lines of plain concrete and worn down wood was a surprising challenge to work with. Add to that the fact that I was decked out in white, florals, pastel shades, chiffon, an underwhelming amount of black and a maxi skirt - I'd normally never fulfill these categories, <i>all at once. </i>While I really warmed to this, monochrome, pleather and creepers of impractical height will always hold a special place in my heart.<br />

You can never go wrong with a bright lip colour to spice up a duller colour palette, is what I learned when I moved to Australia. My terribly overdressed self used to reside in a much more conservative asian country, where a bold red lip would earn me stares and whispers in malls and on streets, so you can understand why I have only just begun to appreciate it's beauty. </div>

Due to my forever bad planning, I arrived home, absolutely grungy after a sleepover, with just over 40 minutes to take a shower, put my face on, dry my shaggy mane of hair, AND pick out something to wear. (I can hear you scoffing, <i>"ha! I can do that in half the time!" </i>But trust me, when you are as indecisive as I am, that is no small feat.) So you can imagine my surprise when I turned to this as a last resort and it brought such life to a hastily thrown together outfit. </div>

Lily and I headed off to an annual vintage charity sale at Como House, South Yarra. It was held in the ballroom of a 19th century mansion with the most beautiful gardens. You should have seen us, practically foaming at the mouth at the sight of such a multitude of photo ops. Which resulted in probably my most photo-heavy post to date. Both Lily and I picked up some gorgeous vintage finds at a fraction of the usual price, which <i>totally made our day</i>. Keep an eye out for them in coming posts! </div>

Cheap shopping, beautiful setting, good company - I couldn't have asked for more. <i>(Well, not getting lost on the way there and back would have been another plus point, but you get what I mean.) </i> </div>

I've always been on the fence about spring and summer in Melbourne, despite the glorious array of blooms the gardens have to offer and the cafes advertising gelato and iced coffee. If you haven't read in my <a href="http://incipientdreams.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/summer-oh-summer.html" target="_blank">previous post </a>already, I'll have you know that I'm probably not the firmest advocate of glaring sun, heat or tanning. I'm that girl, always putting on sunscreen and scurrying into the blessed shade of trees or buildings, where there is any to be had. This is mainly because I have developed enough sweat glands for a whole mens football team, which is not ideal. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Not entirely sure what the whole point of that paragraph was, besides providing too much information about <strike>my sweat gland activity</strike> myself. </div>

January through March saw the peak of the kimono trend - I honestly did not think these bathrobe lookalikes could look flattering at all, but hey, here I am, jumping on the kimono bandwagon. I must say I've been pretty attached to this item of clothing recently - it shields against the burn of the sun, and is heaps of fun to twirl in. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
My most recent adventure into the sun with this piece was to the annual Moomba Festival, held along the banks of the Yarra river. I intended to catch the evening sun, but my inner pig won out and I spent a good amount of time chowing down on a massive hotdog and a cup of hot chips, zealously guarding the latter against the throngs of little children running around. Chasing the last dredges of light, I stumbled upon this little garden filled with beautiful blooms that matched my kimono to a tee. The delay as a result of my gluttony was actually a blessing in disguise - the warm backlight of dusk is so beautiful.<br>
<br>
<i>See, I knew the hotdog and chips were a good idea. </i><br>

I wasn't kidding when I said I loved it. </i><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Honestly, it was not until I began picking up little bits and bobs for my costume that I began to learn about and appreciate the roaring 20's for all it's lavish and opulent grandeur. To me it is almost as if it sits in a perfect little bubble in time, if you will pardon my weird choice of words. The war was over, everyone was celebrating and the economy was flourishing. It was the carefree era of modernity and shifting paradigms with the invention of automobiles, cinematics, women securing their voting rights, and not forgetting the flappers which were the feminine icon of the 1920s. If I had lived then, I would have thought it the beginning of an age where everything seemed to be possible.<br />
<br />
I couldn't sport the bob and finger wave hairstyle, complete with dangly headpiece, or the classic drop waist flapper dress that was all the rage, so I made do with some curls and a black sequined dress. Complete with pearls, gloves and soft focus photo editing. :P<br />
<br />
<i>More importantly, it was also the time in which A.A. Milne published Winnie The Pooh. Now what could possibly compete with that on my list of priorities? </i></div>

You know how sometimes you find someone who is a complete photocopy of your personality? Well, I guess I found mine in this little 4'11 pixie of a girl, Lily - she can vouch for the fact that our interests and habits are <i>freakishly</i> alike. I feel like this is the beginning of a very productive - or terrible - relationship. We are such enablers when shopping, as our wallets quickly found out, and our conversations are a never ending mix of fashion, makeup, T-swizzle and just all things girly in general.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, unlike her penchant for brights and pastels, I have always been in love with the monochromatic ends of the color spectrum. So here is a post (one of many to come) that is dedicated to my love for the blacks and whites. I find that the best way to wear it is in different textures, so here I put together mesh, lace and pleather - materials that aren't supposed to match, but do. That's the beauty of monochrome. A spot of sparkle with a statement necklace, a pair of tinted glasses, and we're good to go.<br />

<br />
Shopping has been good this summer. I have developed a rather unhealthy obsession with rompers. At the start of the holiday, I had one, and I now own <i>six</i>.<br />

Hope everyone has had a blast on New Year's eve and are all ready with your lists of resolutions to begin the new year. I'm not sure how long mine is going to last me, cutting down on online shopping is pretty high on that list, and we all know how much of a sucker I am for ASOS sales.<br />
<br />
I wanted to start the year with a bang, so I decided on this quirky geometric pattern I've been lusting after for nearly a year now. Again, the artists at The Nail Artelier have not failed in expectations at all, I am absolutely smitten with the results. I was looking for the perfect time to sport these fun, loud nails and I've found the perfect occasion! I first saw them on Momoko Ogihara's instagram account, the magic behind Japanese mode fashion line, MURUA, and while I've changed up the colour of the disco ball thinggums, everything else is pretty much the same.<br />
<br />
2013 has given me so much to be grateful for. Thank you for being uplifting in lessons, wise in teachings, plentiful in laughter, endless in friendship, open-hearted with forgiveness and generous with love.<br />

It's that time of the year again and Christmas is once again upon us! While it does not carry any significant meaning to my family or myself, I just think giving out gifts, cards and spreading well wishes is a nice thing to do. Also, who am I to pass up another reason for a party?<br />
<br />
Back with just a quick post about Christmas nails, while I'm in the flurry of getting various cards and addresses sorted. I got this set done at The Nail Artelier! It's been about a week and I still can't believe how cute the reindeer is. So much love!<br />

I'll leave you with Lea Michele's stunning rendition of O Holy Night - I know it's rather old, but her voice is just phenomenal and such welcome relief from the tinny remixes that are blasted by most shopping malls. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
For the moment, Luke, my <strike>white person</strike> college buddy from Australia is here to visit for a couple of days, and Heather, Claire and I have been taking him sightseeing. I can say that I have never done as much sightseeing in Singapore in my whole life as I have just done in the past three days. Also, I have never appreciated the invention of air conditioners more than I have as of now. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The most painful (but fun) places we've been to so far are the botanical gardens and the zoo. Every time I spot another one of those special air-conditioned viewing centers, I feel like the heavens has just bestowed a gift on me. I then proceed to slow-motion run in relief towards the center, tears of bliss pouring down my face. Of course this takes place in my head. In real life I just let out a grunt of approval and trudge over at a slightly faster pace. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My <strike>white person </strike> friend Luke was kind enough to snap some quick outfit photos for me, so here they are! So deeply in love with my new Bimba and Lola bag that is perfect for spicing up any dull outfit. I already know this will become one of my holiday fashion staples. Also loving the Criminal Damage cropped shirt that is such a clever play on words. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Will update again really soon with a Christmas themed nail post! Look forward to it! </div>

I was going wear the cutest paisley romper for this post in celebration of that. And what happened when I woke up this morning?<br />
<br />
It was cold. And windy. Did I mention cold? The weather was just like: Nope. Nope. Nope. Here's a big bucket of nope.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, it might be a while before I get to layer up on snuggly knits, so I pulled out all the pieces that have been staples in my wardrobe during the chilly bits this spring. I put on my favourite mint sweater over a fun polka dotted skater skirt and a collared blouse and paired it with my ever trusty creeper wedges.<br />
<br />
Aaaaaand also, exams are out, and I'm scheduled to be on a plane home in four days! You have no idea how ready I am to revel in the freedom of the coming holidays, because I am so over studying and writing essays. It does promise to be a pretty happening few months ahead, with some friends from Melbourne coming down to visit and possibly an overseas trip in the early stages of planning.<br />
<br />
So hyped, see you all real soon! :'D<br />
<br />
P.S: I also realise I hardly smile for any of my pictures, so there's an awkward smile for you. ehehehehe.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We inhaled stars by the lungful,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">craving the almost imperceptible </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">of night -</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">while its audience slept -</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">My psychology exam is in two days and here I am, dawdling away my last precious midnight hours. Just thought I might share with everyone the occasional poem my crazy, overloaded brain decides to spew out in the middle of the night. It's one of the less offensive ones of the lot, or at least it is to me. I felt that it was a pity if it was just going to be left collecting dust in the recesses of my book, so here it is.</span><br />

Kept a modern touch to the ensemble with the touch of pleather in the shirt and leopard prints on my creepers.<br />
<br />
I spent the better part of the rest of the 90s gnawing on teething toys, watching the original series of Thomas The Tank Engine and reading Winnie the Pooh. Oh yeah, I was a <i>HUGE </i>fan. I had a complete set of diecast metal trains, as well as the full series of Winnie the Pooh books and cassette tapes. Apparently I can now sell the trains on eBay as vintage items.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Is it just me, or do I suddenly feel extremely old? My toys are now considered vintage.</i><br />
