I got these Vagabond-esque chealsea boots from H&M for $50. Considering that they were originally over a $100 and are made of real leather, I would say that they were quite the steal.

Some little treasures found at Ikea (still not very sure how to pronounce it correctly) i.e. the cute, aloe vera-like succulent (that I'm obsessed with) and the yellow lemon-scented candle. The glass bowl that the succulent is in is from Daiso aka knick-knack heaven. Found it in the pet section strangely enough.

New tops from Uniqlo, Zara, and H&M. No prizes for guessing the trend I'm currently enjoying immensely.

Nike Roshe Runs

After umming and ahing for several hours, I finally decided to take the plunge and get these beauties. I mean, you can never have enough black sneakers, right? Right?

I got the perfect fedora from H&M for days when I feel like braving gross hat-hair and the muggy Singapore weather to add a mysterious and witchy edge to my outfit (in theory). Finally, the pièce de résistance to my predominantly monochromatic collection of items, a leather mini skirt from American Apparel via the Editor's Market sale. 50% off. Need I say more?

remember the last post where i told you how i spent quite a bit at Art Friend last week? these are my new babies from Daler-Rowney (3 sets of paints and a set of brushes that are student-grade at student prices) and Copic Ciao markers (these are the cheapest out of the few models of ever-expensive copics ): owell)

heh i have this pastry dish from ikea in my closet that i've been using as a catch-all for my recently bought/worn accessories. clockwise from top: wristband from foals concert, Lovisa earring set for school (who am i kidding i wear them out to places too), Topshop 3/4 oval hoop earrings, thin silver ring bunch from H&M, 1 side of my glow-in-the-dark skelly hands from kreepsville666, egyptian-esque geometric earrings from Topshop, silver danglies w/ faceted silver pieces from H&M, gold & silver angular studs from H&M.

I keep buying earrings recently, as accessories to liven up boring school outfits, or bigger pieces for going out, since my hair has grown out and larger pieces wouldn't look too over-the-top. (i really hope i'll get to wear them soon though, i'd hate to see pretty things forgotten or neglected)

really like buying pullovers recently as well, despite the days warming up and singapore having just gone through an insane dry spell just earlier this month. grey pullover from Heritage1981 on left; speckled grey knit from factorie on right (bought during a special 40% discount sale for vjc kids before the mass dance at suntec city)

i also just started listing items on my carousell recently (you can view my page here and gab's here) to get rid of clothing that i don't feel for anymore and would love to see them go to better homes. the middle is a black halter dress in floral lace i got from carousell, haven't really tried it on, since i've been either busy or sickly recently, would love to style it up soon! 

new shoebox additions to the wardrobe, was really fulfilling to have managed to fit in all of them somewhere (after a lot of reorganising and moving and squeezing bags and my sports equipment to make space)

more carousell spoils: (chanel, rad, yinyang, always) stickers for my laptop, *likely to be inspired* Supreme cap

my asos package arrived just in time for this post, how lucky!! clockwise from top right: asos black skinny waist belt with contrast edge paint (tad disappointed with this bc it's kinda small for me owell), Monki peppi bag (gabi has one too(!!)), watch from Aries Gold Inspire Sapphire collection, cheap shades from carousell (bc my usual sunnies are too un-sporty), Accessorize wallet (at 70% off, absolute STEAL)

was really pleasantly surprised that this brand had something to offer me, because my dad bought one from them a few years back, and trust me, it doesn't reflect a line of watches people in our age group would wear. reeeeeeally adore my new watch *sigh*, just that it's the first chunky watch i've worn in a while, the last ones were baby-Gs from back when i was in primary school hehe.

aaaaaaaaaand, say hi to the newest members of our family!!! from left: Jeffrey Campbell Tardy Lo my lovely friends bought me for my 18th birthday, Mizuno Wave Sayonara trainers bought at 40% off after cross-country, Deandri Helgas in natural wood bought at half off (♡v♡). hot damn i love shoes.

so that's all from gabi and i today, we thought we'd start doing posts like this more often (since we shop so much) (and it gives us a much-needed break from school while fulfilling candrielle duties).

oh, and i said that i was going to write about this so here goes. today, gabi and i said goodbye to a very dear friend, someone close to our heart. it was our iMessage conversation thread, and it was a really long one. we knew that we had to let it go, because true love sets you free.

that was gay, alright goodnight lovely people
