pictures by g, text by c
(sorry we were gone so long, we've missed being around here too. but too bad we're still schooling kids studying hard for the big As so we can't update here as much as we'd like to, unless you wanna see daily ootds of fireproof (i think) cream/rice/basically off-white coloured jc uniforms)
as usual, g had to wait for me (because i was late) (i tried to be on time, i really did) and we got some s-king goodness to fuel up for the TIRING shopping day ahead. (we are obsessed w s-king) (we love it so much o m g if they had it in school i think we'd have tried every single flavour twenty times each by now)
i decided to go gabi for a day and donned all black, but i must admit that it felt really good. it's like when you're in a full black kit you automatically had access to an ultra-cool composure and the right to wear a permanent scowl on your face. (and you know i'm not cool at all so i need all the help i can get from my outfits)
"hehe, hay g hay, look, my s-king is the pop of colour in my outfit"
also, do note the shoes that are worn here right now because now you see them–
popped into h&m to kickstart some spending and i got myself some $17.70 worth of earrings and midi rings. surprisingly, most of them were silver, since i preferred to wear gold more often. i think it was the black outfit, black does really go with silver, and white with gold a better combination.
or maybe it's g's influence.
like she always said, "it's black for everything, but for accessories, silver is the way to go."
you don't see it in the picture, but by this time, my shoes were hurting me so bad i was holding them by the laces and walking around the mall sockfooted. sad though, it feels good to prance around (however slowly) in such high shoes, but it's not good enough to mask the pain of your feet feeling bound like those of chinese girls in the olden olden days. ): so off they came
we then went ahead to spend a bomb at editor's market because they were having a great sale, we kid you not. g got the perfect leather skirt from american apparel she's been looking for for ages and i got relatively less painful deandri helgas.
ramen lunch at ippudo was yummerz but g would not stop bursting into stupid giggles about how my new shoes sounded like horsey hooves on the hard floor on our way there. we both had ramen with egg, mine in the original broth and hers in the modern version. i thought the soup was pretty salty at first taste, but i got used to it after a while; the modern broth was saltier, but also distinctly more flavourful with added ingredients like garlic oil and scallions.
the egg was good, a little more than halfway between soft- and hard-boiled, like an 80% done egg. noodles were nothing spectacular, but the waitstaff would ask you how you would like your noodles to be done (like ordering a steak), from soft to very hard. my favourite was the chashu though, it wasn't too dry nor greasy, and marinated just enough to stand out from the broth and the rest of the dish.
(man, typing this at 2.30am makes me so hungry)

–now you don't
it then started pouring, complete with thunderclaps and all (thank god g reminded about bringing umbrellas). i kept repeating "please don't fall, please don't fall" to myself because the wooden soles of my gorgeous new deandri helgas (bought at 50% off, SCORE) were smooth and not exactly fortified with super non-slip rubber soles or nubs. hence, very slow and conscious placing of one foot before the other, i guess you can call it walking, and i took care to try not to make horsey clicks against the ground in case gabi starts laughing at me again. >:
these were even higher than the tardy los, but like i said, "the higher the shoe, the closer to god"
we went through hell and high water (rain and lots of puddles) to go to topshop knightsbridge because g was sooooo excited for the launch of the adidas x topshop collab. she ended up not buying anything (because i talked her out of it) and we tried on almost every shoe they had. oops.
(we didn't buy anything, ok i bought jelly insoles because i thought they would work, still undecided whether they do or not) (and we charged our phones there hehe, god bless topshop)
-sorry about the severe lack of photos because it became more of a shopping day for us instead of one where we remembered to document our adventures heh-
in the time between leaving topshop and the next photo, we spent half an hour at art friend where i got loads of supplies and g ended up $70 poorer because she is a good friend and i didn't have enough moolah hehe tenkq gahbz. we also got our thirsty little selves pretty bottles of fiji (natural artesian water) and i decided it smelled a little like yeast and it was only worth its $2 because i was parched and it was chilled and the bottle was nice to look at.
on c: hat - cotton on, bandeau - gmarket, jacket - topshop, skirt - apricot, bag - mango, shoes - deandri, bottled natural artesian water - fiji
on g: jacket - topshop, top - uniqlo, skirt - topshop, shoes - new balance, bag - h&m, necklace - topshop, smile on face - happy because on our way to buy her roshe runs

hmm, it wasn't as productive a day that we hoped would have been, we were really expecting to take more pictures, but put us in the middle of orchard/somerset, it's really hard to control our basic instincts and go crazy touching every thing in every store we went into.
sooooo, wait for the next candrielle adventure please, but we do hope it's soon.
