Every 18th of June

Sounds like an oxymoron isn't it? In today's world where it seems like we have almost forgotten what luxury is. For example, I find it okay (and normal) to pay for a $5 cappuccino in CBD or spend $15 for a pint of beer because hell, I deserve it. But for the underprivileged, and I don't want to sound preachy and hypocrite. $5 can already buy a meal for a family of 5, probably two meals depends on which place we are talking about. I got to know of Another Sole from my colleague and I thought at first it would be another shoe brand trying to break into the market. But as I was picking my shoe style (they have gazillion colours and textures to choose from), I realised that every pair you buy, they use a part of the profits to purchase a meal for the underprivileged or underfunded orphanages in SEA.

Heck, the tagline should have given it away "Buy one, feed one" but I can be jaded at times (hehe) So as we all scramble for Christmas presents for ourselves and for our loved ones, consider Another Sole as part of your Christmas wish list. All the shoes is made of 100% leather and I guarantee you, it is super damn comfy. Like what my Instagram post says, it's like walking in clouds. Don't believe me? Try one for yourself, it's available in Tangs.

My pair was sponsored by the brand.

It’s been drizzling and raining in Singapore and that gave me the opportunity to take out my sweater from the cupboard. Grey is always a good choice for autumn and winter, but to brighten things up a bit (we’re after all still in a tropical country) I wore my earrings from Tjem.sg.  

I admit when I'm lazy I just throw on anything black and pray it works - well 99% of the time it does! There are tons of of blog posts and write ups out there listing black must have items and this is my contribution to society.

3. Strappy heels

You will always see me in heels, unless ofcourse you see me in Yoga class where I'm barefoot. Standing at 158 cm, I grew up feeling rather conscious and sad of my height. But I guess it's all depends on your perspective, I have a friend who stands at 179 cm and she hates it.

Strappy sandals makes any outfit feminine, pair it with denims and and a white crisp shirt and voila you can go to a hot date. Even typical errands such as going for your coffee run makes the activity very sexy. I got the pair below from Zara (Manila, Philippines), on sale ofcourse for around S$20. Most of my shoes are actually from Zara like 50% of my shoe collection. They're damn comfy and affordble when you purchase it during sale season.
I lived in Spain for a year and I regretted not hoarding shoes back.

4. Culottes

I must admit, I wasnt a huge fan of culottes when it re-appeared last year which is why you wouldn't see me in culottes ever up until like August this year. As confessed above, I'm very petite and never really though that culottes would look good on me. But, paired with a feminine and sleek shoes like the one below then you're all set. For October alone I think I've bought around 8 pieces of culottes - I wear them to work and it's a cut between pants and skirts. It's so comfy and versatile.



5. Cape

Yah, yah it's warm in Singapore and it doesn't feel quite right to be throwing over a cape. But most of us stay indoors anyway right? I like wearing capes because I can almost where anything underneath and then throw my cape and get on with life. I can wear for example a very short bodycon dress without fearing that the HR might hound on me. Pair it with denim shorts and a white shirt and you're ready for an all-girls' brunch or a movie date with the boyfie.

I have always wanted to do an editorial shoot and I finally I squeezed some time to create one. I worked with the very talented Carlos Creencia of www.carloscreencia.com. I decided to do a nature editorial as a form of going back to basics since this is my first attempt. The location we chose is the University of the Philippines Diliman campus (Manila, Philippines) where the sunflowers are popular and where there's a vast array of grasslands. The location is also close to my heart as I grew up here and every weekend of my childhood I spent playing around or eating street food in the campus.

The shoot was done late afternoon after the rain so the colours in the set are quite gloomy. I was planning to change my outfit from blue to white when we shot the grasslands theme but I couldn't find an area to change.
