Secret Squirrel : Creative Power Couple

I am constantly fascinated by creative couples that form their own studios or branch out on their own. Being a creative myself, I find it hard to get people (mainly my boyfriend) to see things the way I do or to make them understand my various pet peeves (bad kerning, typeface abuse etc) so whenever I come across a couple who makes great design, I'm completely taken. How great is it that you can share ideas and create things that are a collective of you and your partner's creativeness? I think it's awesome. That's why I love Secret Squirrel. Bri and Andrew are the couple behind this amazing label that creates classic pieces that I would definitely own and wear everyday if I had all the money in the world. Few designers actually make me want everything from their collection, Secret Squirrel is one of them!

Dog Eye Stockings...Wait, what?!

THESE ARE TO DIE FOR!!! Okay, I hardly start a post with such creepy enthusiasm, but you are insane if you can't appreciate this pair of awesome fancy stockings (way to go, insulting my readers, I swear I've consumed too much sugar today). These are by QooQooFashion, an Etsy shop by graphic designer Alyona Bauska.

New kicks & bling

Been awhile since I used my camera to take anything, but I found my 50mm lens recently so I played around with it. Here are some pics of my new purchases! I probably shouldn't be too happy about spending money but I am...it's a sin.

Bimba & Lola purchases

Prettiest bracelet that went really well with the sweater I wore when I bought it. Maybe that's why I bought it...

New black flats from Topshop. Mine wore out a few days ago which gave me an excuse to buy new ones.

Steve Madden glitter flats I've been meaning to post for ages!

Look at all that bling!

My dad has forbidden me to buy any more shoes. And my boyfriend has forbidden me to buy any sweaters. It's just something I can't resist! At least I don't lust for diamonds or jewellery right!?

Glitter Girl

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend. I think basically anything shiny will do. Hehe. To date I have four shiny/metallic/sequined sweaters and two pairs of glitter shoes, one that I just bought from Steve Madden (and are freaking gorgeous, pics soon!). Shiny things/clothes make me really happy. They can instantly glam up any outfit, no matter how casual it is. I can't wait to shoot my new shoes! But for now I'll make up for the lack of pictures with these by Chiara from The Blonde Salad. Her glitter headband? To die for.

Urban Outfitters: Spree time!

Got paid recently for a freelance job I did, so I splurged on some sale items at UO! I swear I'm such a sweater freak, I already have tons in my wardrobe and here I am adding more to my collection. It doesn't help that I have an extremely small closet. Just yesterday I broke a clothes hanger because I had like 3 items on it. Yup, time to visit Ikea. I'm gonna show you what I got since I'm such a girl like that!

The Teaim Player shirt was for my boyfriend. I just thought it was pretty funny! Frankly I don't know what I'm going to do with so many sweaters, especially when I'm living in a tropical city like Singapore. The only reason I can come up with is that I'm a pretty weird Singaporean who's always cold even when its warm out (and its pretty warm all year round). I just hope the rainy season gets here soon so I can wear all the sweaters I want without anyone eyeballing me like I'm crazy. Hehe. I've got more items coming in from ASOS but I think I'll save that for another day. Staring at too many pretty clothes in one day is a crime! For my pocket...

Monki Magazine

Monki is a Swedish-based fashion brand that has spawned from famous sisters like Weekday and Cheap Monday. And guess what? They're owned by H&M! If all this name-dropping hasn't got you all excited, then maybe these pictures from the magazine will. I love this feature editorial! So amazingly kitsch and cheerful. I really hope Monki will hit Singapore shores soon, but then again it might have to be a long wait because H&M isn't even here yet :(

You don't need any reason to own pretty things like these! Just a few favourites of mine I've been lusting over, especially that Goldie skirt from EmersonMade! Functional pockets in a skirt with the perfect hue for summer, what more could I ask for? And paired with any if the above necklaces and you're good to go. I'm a sucker for quartz. Hehe.
