my legs are tied 2008-06-15 13:30:19 Delighted about my sneaker booties, I decided I’d wear them out on Saturday. It was sweltering as anything, therefore the skirt box was opened and I grabbed my skirt that I call The Stalin Skirt because its belt-like attachments make it look Russian in my delusional mind, coupled with its fringed hemline and waistline. Plus, [...]
sibling rivalry 2008-06-15 13:27:14 Vanity runs in the family, from The Father’s wardrobe of shirts that come in all colors of the rainbow to The Mother’s shoes and tea dresses. I love my family because my folks shop for shoes together– I think it’s so cute, and think that all men should learn to appreciate high heels. (Trust me, [...]
hear me rawr 2008-06-15 12:32:40 Can you not love animal print? I love it to bits, to tears and to death, because it appeals to the inner animal in me. Especially big cat prints. I was born in the Chinese Zodiac year of the Tiger and I have five cats. I love animals, especially cats. And hence, my inclination towards [...]
i wear a rainbow 2008-06-13 12:10:29 I love this short dress that I call Coloriot. I picked it up for fifty-cents and I absolutely adore it. Because it’s loose and comfortable, and can apparently be worn in different ways. For instance, one morning I awoke and decided I’d wear a tee over it and tougher-looking shoes to create this look.
Previously, I’d [...]
no longer booted 2008-06-13 11:53:30 Last night, I was miffed because of this pair of boots from ASOS.
Isn’t it stunning? Well, technically it’s a shoe-boot. Anyhows, it was lust at first sight. And £10!? That’s around 27 SGD here. A measly amount. I needed to have it. And so I entered this, together with this pair of cutout socks. The [...]
unanimous 2008-06-13 11:30:34 Shopping with The Best Friend must be the funnest thing ever. . I bet I’ll miss these times when I move abroad in about a year’s time. From squeezing into extremely crowded changing rooms during sales season, contacting each other about sales events, buying the same stuff unanimously to declaring, “Oh my God, I nearly [...]
yellow, yellow. . dirrty fella? 2008-06-13 10:32:20 It’s quite a feat to force myself to wear the stuff I’ve only worn once or twice. Such as this retro-esque yellow dress. This time, with my grey booties.
I love long pearls. I think it’s especially absurd to wear them this long, though. Technically, they are supposed to be layered. Ahh well. .
And I thought [...]
duo roccobaracco 2008-06-11 12:30:49 The less casual version of the outfit today. .
I decided to experiment with poufy top over a high-waisted skirt, even though it might be mistakenly taken for blubber in photographs. Ahh well. . and I like the effect.
g’morning
love, lurve, luv the mismatched earrings. they have black beads and tiny gold elephants on them.
where else better [...]
tee up, giddy up 2008-06-11 12:22:10 Today I wore the brown/ocher lace tube top in two different ways. First stop I had to tutor. .which meant I sure as hell couldn’t show up in a tube. Therefore I tucked it over a shirt, and wore my favorite item ever. .the white drainpipes! It’s such a bloody addiction, and the thing I [...]
under construction 2008-06-11 12:09:58 “Aren’t these the kinds of shirts that construction workers from Bangladesh like to wear here!?”
“My point exactly”.
Well, I like this plaid flannel shirt because it’s so preppy and so. . strange. I like strange things, because I’m known as The Strange Girl by some. Therefore, I decided to clash it with army green– okay, I [...]
casino royale 2008-06-16 14:22:39 In the dead of the night as I start to plan my itinerary for my next vacation– in a month’s time, wheewy– I am itching to poof off overseas. I love to travel, what’s new. I reckon it’s the travel bug that’s bitten me and suffering from wanderlust is really bad when you love to [...]
bless me for i have sinned 2008-06-16 12:18:45 On the subject of sinning and forgiveness, I’m not sure if I’ve ever forgiven my brother for having misplaced the grey-navy weaved children’s belt that I sometimes wear as a cuff. It’s pretty cool because you wrap it around your wrists a few times and it’s a highly original cuff– I do things like that [...]
the simplicity of monochrome diaries 2008-06-16 11:59:34 The daytime part of yesterday was so sweltering 15 minutes on the piano yielded as much perspiration as body conditioning with weights. That bad. The deal with lazy days like that where I have to pop out for a few hours makes me think I don’t want to dress up nor wear much makeup nor [...]
mandemonium 2008-06-18 13:17:12 Menswear is getting to be an addiction. It’s just like one of those phases I go through. The most notable one being, the red-and-black phase. So today I had to head down to the zoo to meet the curator in order to confirm my grad project. After a grueling and rather nerve-wrecking discussion, the study’s [...]
madness and uncivilization 2008-06-18 13:13:28 Two months back I went to my friend’s place to complete a research project. It gets a tad tiring after reading about 15 thirty-paged academic journals each, writing up about 2000 words, and you know what girls do when they have a MacBook and Photobooth. Today I was reminded of the truckloads of photos and [...]
old habits die hard 2008-06-17 14:03:54 Men’s singlet. Again. Men’s cuff. Again. Men’s suspenders. Again.
You know why men look buff in their singlets? It’s because these are cut to look that way, a women’s wifebeater (well, technically a tank top) is cut to flatter her chest in another way altogether. Anyhows, a man’s singlet goes purr-fectly whenever I’m feeling androgynous

layers of lace 2008-06-24 12:41:37 I love lace. It’s the epitome of feminine sensuality and delicateness. From gorgeous laundre to pretty dresses to flouncy tops, lace is the icing on the cake, the Maraschino cherry (actually, make that plural) on the ice cream, and the whipped cream on top of the iced latté that adds more than just a finishing [...]
planners 2008-06-24 12:12:14 Yesterday, I trudged down to the country club to meet my cousin so we could semi-finalize the details of the trip. Like where exactly to go, how to be as cheapo as possible as save money especially since I’m still studying and all, what to do, and what to wear. It’s a lovely thing she’s [...] Read more:planners
pearls, feathers and silver bows 2008-06-22 12:12:24 Do you sometimes worry that at an event– it could be a dinner or a wedding or a prom or whatsoever– somebody shows up in the exact same thing? Well, it’s happened to some of my friends who always caution me to ‘buy the most inimitable thing ever”. But just how, I wonder sometimes. I [...]
every movie’s a circus 2008-06-22 11:56:50 On Saturday I had a wee bit more time (well, fifteen minutes equals to more time for me) and could therefore tousle my hair up a bit and paint my eyes a shade of emerald-green with some shimmery yellow. Some blurry webcam shots– as usual I got a little carried away– and I think I’m [...] Read more:every

lost child 2008-06-22 11:47:10 “But I want to sleep” I mumbled and protested into the phone. It’s Sunday, I’m tired and want to roll in bed. Anyhows I got my ass dragged out. In the most casual of casuals– a sign of protest– and to my shock horror, I went out in denim jeans. The last time I wore [...] Read more:child
kimono prints 2008-06-21 03:11:06 On the subject of re-wearing my hardly-worn stuff, and on the quest for wearing my entire collection of short skirts, I woke up deciding to wear this.
My mother’s knitted top that my uncle got for her at 16 from Hong Kong. It’s still going strong, and worn by me. What then, does one wear to [...] Read more:prints
for sale 2008-06-21 02:43:37 Selling some stuff here, on Into The Wardrobe. Not all have been listed on ebay yet. More to come soon!
store 2008-06-19 12:23:16 I think I’ve gotten to the point of being queasy with the sheer amount of stuff I have. . I’ll be setting up a store on Ebay (most likely), selling off some of my old(er) stuff. Keep a lookout!
tee off 2008-06-19 12:17:58 Narcoleptic or otherwise, it’s almost scary how I can fall asleep almost anywhere. Today the first thought of going for skin treatment given the really bad acne outbreak a few months back made me think. . Hmm, purr-fect. I can sleep there. My follow-up treatments involve this procedure known as Cooltouch. This involves a laser [...]
pretty 2008-06-19 04:40:19 I have a penchant for saving pretty pictures that I stumble along. Unfortunately, I often forget where they are from. . still, enjoy.

tracking. . 2008-07-08 10:09:57 Keeping track of photos in-itself is a bitch– they’re all jumbled up in my iPhoto. This was Saturday’s
I nearly died of shock when I walked past the fan and the entire dress blew upwards like an umbrella gone wrong in a wind too strong. Frantic, I grabbed stockings and a belt.
And just in case my [...]
catsuits, they jump 2008-07-07 13:02:14 The last time I faked a dress, it was completely unintentional. All I did was throw on a racerback, wear a skirt high-waisted, and strapped on a belt. After I unintentionally put this together, I got, “Hey nice catsuit”.
I love the swishy feel of gaucho pants. AND if only my hair could look this little [...]
the nun top 2008-07-07 12:37:54 So I was off a little while to watch my age change to one of symmetry. 22.
It’s pretty fun to count my age every year. 07 + 07 + 08= 22. The last one, being the year. That way, even if I’m amnesic or suffer from dementia, I’ll never forget my age. Lol. Talk about [...]
copper-ed 2008-07-07 12:10:48 My irrational love for furnishings and fittings might be the only remotely domestic streaks in me. I love copper alot. It’s got an ol’-skool sheen and delivers a rustic charm. Probably the stepsister to gold and silver, but I am the girl who loves kitsch as much as she loves her Cartier, Pomellato and van [...]
