Today's Wooly Outfit

Today was C-O-L-D in London. Yep, the rumours of snow seems ever more true now. The air bites, the skies are clear, the ground is full of grit. It's funny how Londoners think grit can 'rid' the ground of snow like a plough does. Maybe it will be light snow which means we'd be left with some disgusting slush.

Anyway, to keep warm... I wore woolies like I said earlier today. Here's the outfit:

GAP dropped shoulder brown wool coat
ASOS Merino Wool Mixed Tights in Grey
ASOS Long Ribbed Angora Mixed Cream Over The Knee Socks
Brown Suede Boots bought by my father from China before I started uni (not something I'd have gotten but it's pretty sweet)

Underneath the coat
Elevenses Wool Mix Cardigan from Anthropologie SALE (its got some nice name like Across the Country, like Anthro always names its stuff rustic names£29.90
YUMI Navy Wool Cardigan with Heart buttons from ASOS SALE £32.0
Abercrombie&Fitch frill skirt0

♥  pockets, ♥ buttons

Underneath the layers of cardis
My fav Abercrombie&Fitch top

Behind
It's got a deep U-back
You can imagine it'd be quite cold but it's great (and sexy!) in summer
In winter, a warm cardigan sorts it out

Bracelet
I have a series of charms on my Fossil bracelet now
The latest and first non-Fossil is this SHARP calculator which I got at the Anthropologie SALE for under £10!
Awesome. Yeah, awesome until I felt the cold charm banging my wrist.

On another note, it is boiling hot inside. Luckily, I found the thermostat set to 30C promptly opened the windows (not good seeing that the radiator is just under the window and my cross trainer isn't sure to expand or shrink by the window!), turned all the radiator knobs down and switched the thermostat to a reasonable 25C. And, I didn't even break sweat (ew). 30C is like standing in Singapore's midday sun without traffic... FML (lol, so in-trend saying that).

So, the woolies inc wool beanie hat and wool gloves JUST ABOUT kept me from dying of hypothermia.

Hai, why my Dermalogica not yet come? My face is drying.. :-(

Lastly, I'm glad sales is over! No more temptation! Woohoo! :-)

January Sale

I have been MIA cos working, working. Got long weekend and I'm relaxing (read: shopping) but I still have afterwork work to do. Hai. But tomorrow going facial. Must go la. I feel like I look so ugly.

Anyway, today went shopping. Got paid this week, suddenly feel liberated. But must becareful if not like last month suddenly feel like wanna die. January in the UK always got geng sales. Sometimes can buy the bestest thing ever for £5 but not always can la.

Here are some suspense pics first. Hahaha. Next time I show you what's inside

Anthropologie SALE! @Regent's Street

Anthro again, Kurt Geiger, Comptoir des Cotonniers, Zara, Monsoon @ King's Road, Sloane Square

Anthropologie at King's Road. It is housed in a listed building so the shoe shop is in a separate part with a separate entrance to the main shop. Basically, looks more like a huge gallery than a shop. So much more freedom to walk around compared to the Regent's Street shop (which is nice also la and over three floors)

Anthro at King's Road - Looks like a warehouse, doesn't it?

Pretty but expensive Anthro bracelet on sale. Crocheted with beads in the middle of a cupped-shape crochet pattern. Didn't buy of course.

Shopping today at King's Road was superb! Compared to Oxford Street and the Westfields, there was hardly anyone around. Totally awesome. And it was certainly a very different high street to the ones I usually see round where I live. Haha. Will be probably my first shopping choice now if everything I want is there because it takes the same amount of time-ish to get there vs Oxford Street anyway.

Anthropologie Online

A few weeks ago I said I hoped to one day shop at Anthropologie when 'I grow up' (read: when my paycheck is super big). Ha, didn't need to wait long cos they brought the price down to suit my paycheck. Still a bit expensive but some things are cheap-ish if you dig and dig, look and look, wait and wait. Also got quality and I really like their style. Some thing I really wanted and I missed cos I waited and it never happened was a Faux Fur Gillet by Tiny with silk lining for like £40-50. So, if anyone sees, buy for me as present, k? Haha. Having said all that, Anthro in the US is much cheaper than the UK.

Still awaiting three more packages from Fossil, ASOS and cosmetic cos I ran out of hydator and my skin is drying and dying.

Anyway, I leave you with what I wore today.

River Island Pea Coat, V&A silk/cotton scarf, Fossil Vintage Re-issue backpack, Kurt Geiger woolen mittens, Banana Republic Weekender Chino

My MNG wool cardigan back to its normal shape!, Abercrombie & Fitch leather belt, Abercrombie & Fitch top

My beloved Russell&Bromley pink patent leather brogues. Bought last year, worn today for the first time!
I'm so glad I got it because they don't do it in pink anymore.. and it was cheaper then.
The sun was out today so no water was gonna ruin it.

Hurgh ok la. Wanna sleep. Night night. Until next time! x

New Year Outfit

I had always been meaning to post pictures of some outfit combos I come up with. Kinda like some of the fashion/lifestyle blogs although I'm not into mainstream and in-trend cults. I don't have a full length mirror and it's the main reason why I haven't done so. And, I don't really dress up much cos I pretty much wear uniform to work. I tried to make a bit of effort on New Year's to take some photos! I quite like my get up that day. Very grunge, I thought.

Anyway, here it is.

*heart*
Leather Biker Jacket from Bonprix
Gutted! I just checked and its £43.95 but was £69.95 (I think) when I bought it although my size has run out.

Cardigan from Denim&Supply by Ralph Lauren. 100% cotton and super thick.
Scarf from Desigual. Bought by my mummy when we went to Barcelona
A&F top with cutback.
Leather weave belt from National Geographic Store. SALE £10.
Low rise skinny jeans from SEED for like £15-20 and its quite thick and warm

Ankle boots by Steve Madden from Macy's
Laces tried with a square/reef knot. Hehe.

My Fossil Addiction :-)

Leather Satchel from H&M at a bargian £35.xx
Had to keep checking the website over and over for stock and it goes so fast! I was very lucky.
Normally £60-70

My Christmas present from my flatmate - a one inch harmonica necklace!
It truly does work.
Best gift ever.

I quite liked the look. A bit boyish but I really like men's fashion, too. I have to say though. men these days look like women and women look like men. Then again, girls these days play with go-karts and the boys like collecting Barbies! Haha.
