Strap or not?

Photobucket

I'm really on the fence about this.
I know the difference isn't that great, but the strap really makes a big difference to me.
How now, brown cow?

Is it me or does Tao's red file go really well with her outfit here?
It even matches her blush!

P.S. I've finally caved in to the temptation ;)

Finally two exam papers are over, and two more to go next week.
Taking a quick break now by updating myself with the latest F/W 09.


Actually I have taken tons of breaks in between studying! Hahah
And right before my paper this afternoon, I chose to use my precious time shopping online! (I know, real smart right?)
Anyway, it paid off - with 2 tops! :p

Continuing with my shopping obsession..
STRAPPY HEELS!
Have been searching high&low for a nice and reasonably priced pair, and I came across these.

Okay, the 2nd pair is more of a peeped-toe oxford, while the 3rd is more of a bandaged style rather than strappy. But the black/gold combi really got my attention.

Rrrrrrriiiiippppp!

Woke up this morning with a flu :/ UGH.
Thanks to my hectic schedule.
ANW, here's the outfit i wore to work yesterday.

Photobucket

As you can see, there's a significant hole on the left side of my stockings.
I have to clarify that this is not done on purpose whatsoever.
The moment I put them on, it just did its own thang. Hahah
I should have known since the stockings itself was too cheap to be true.
Lesson learnt.

Photobucket

Since it was already ripped apart, I should just continue ripping the other side right? :)
Just so you know, it wasn't dificult at all given the quality of this cheap stuff.

Photobucket

I tried on this slutty furry/hairy mini dress from the shop.
People coming in seemed to have the tendency to touch and wonder about its material.
Some guy going as far to warn his gf that she better not fall if she had this on, or else she would be mistaken for a carpet. WTF! Hahah
But anyways, no one seemed to have the guts to try it on yesterday.

Photobucket

Furry/Hairy thing up close with flash.
A sight to behold!

Overall a pretty fulfilling day cos' more than 5 people came in to get that blue high waist shorts from the post below. All thanks to my gorgeous mannequin whom i dressed up! :)

Okay, now back to the books!

I know it's hard to see, but I'm deciding between those two blue oxford shirts.
Think it'd be perfect for my internship next month!
The left one gives an edgier vibe, whereas the right one is a classic oxford.
Soooo.. Classic or edgy?

I love vintage purses.
Especially those with a popping colour 'cos it brightens out any neutral colour outfit!

(1970s Leather Sakura Purse)

Bought this pretty recently.
I practically gasped when I saw it, and knew I had to give this baby a nice little home :)
Unfotch, the strap came off one fateful night.. so I have to get it fixed soon :/


Photobucket
(1970s Small Sling Purse)

I absolutely love the colour combination of this one!
The condition is abit Blah, but still..
Such a unique piece :)

Layering at its best!
Koreans are really stylish people eh?
Scanning through NYLON Korea, and I know I'll definitely be able to find inspiration.

From what I've read, most people seem to love the heat of the sun.
Currently, I feel the exact opposite.
The only time of the day when I will feel actual coldness is when I'm having lessons - tucked safely in the air-conditioned classrooms -.-
