Checkered shirts & bleached jeans

In the previous post, I mentioned that I was trying to attend all my lectures & tutorials right? Well, I failed. I woke up at 4.30PM on Thursday when French was at 8AM! :/ & on Friday, I woke up late & missed the Accounting lecture. Ah damn.

I woke up late & didnt have much time to think of an outfit so I just wore the same shirt I wore here over my pencil skirt wit my red Keds because I have horrible blisters on my feet :(

& I finally wore the bleached skinnies out yesterday! It kinda looks like camoflage print from a far! I like it :) I might bleach more of my skinnies! Hahaha

You might wonder why I changed shoes. Hahah that was because we were at a flea market & I scored an awesome pair of vintage pink loafers! The details are so pretty! Beads & gems :)

The boyf also bought me the cutest Hello Kitty bagpack EVER. I can't wait to bring it out more! Sometimes I just get so frustrated holding my handbags! Like what lulu mentioned, HANDS FREE!

We are going to choose our options for our 3rd year soon. I am most likely going to choose Marketing Communication because of the advertising & PR part! I want to be a Fashion PR! My second & third choices might be Marketing & Human Resource but I am not really sure yet..hmmm. I am so sorry I am behind the tags, I've done one after the photos :)

Where do you go to school? (which country, what course, etc.)

Ngee Ann Polytechnic! I am currently in the second semester of my 2nd year! :) I am taking a diploma in Business Studies.

2. Where do you shop most? (Shop and directions/address)

As you guys probably know, I am a Forever 21 addict. I buy most of my Forever 21 clothes online because the stores in Singapore mark the prices up so much! :/ Brands I normally go for are Urban Outfitters, Old Navy, Topshop. H&M too, if we have a store in Singapore! Other than that, I like going for Flea Markets. Particularly Zouk Flea Market! In Singapore, I will normally shop at Far East Plaza, Bugis Street & Haji Lane! :)

3.Which band/singer do you listen to the most? Why?

I love bands. There was a period where I was always attending gigs but somehow I stopped. Frankly, mosh pits scare me. Some of my favourites are of course, Panic at The Disco. Amazing bands can be found at purevolume.com Right now I am really into The Ting Tings & Nightwish :)
4. What do you often do in your free time?

I am a TV show addict. I watch ALOT of shows. The shows I am currently into are Army Wives, Chuck, Pushing Daisies, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Lipstick Jungle, Secret Diary of Call Girl, Prison Break, Fringe, Samantha Who, Dexter, True Blood, Mad Men, Dirty Sexy Money..& the list goes on. Which explains why I hardly update my blog. I always have so many episodes to catch up on. These are only the english speaking shows I watch. I love Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Korean & Japanese shows too!!!

Other than TV shows, I love online shopping, shopping, staring at my clothes/shoes and painting my nails. One of my other interests besides fashion/tv shows is makeup. I love putting on eyeshadows! & eyeliner + mascara + concealer is a must. I never go anywhere without them!! I used to be really addicted to MAC pigments & that costs me a lot. But hey, pigments last forever.

& of course, I spend a lot of time wit the boyf too!

    Oh my goodness, halloween is so much fun! You must celebrate it. Most people go as stuff like witches, ghosts, skeletons, vampires...etc. Scary stuff. But we always do really random stuff that most people are like "how did you think of that?" It's great. AND you get free candy!! Do other people celebrate it in Singapore?
