NEW DIRECTIONS

A little word vomit for you: This here wee little blog started as a small oh-look-I-stole-my-brother’s-DSLR-need-to-post-my-pretty-pics-somewhere sort of blog and has slowly started gaining a little momentum and I’d like to think that I’m at a semi-high point for my blog right now…so having said that, I’ve slowly yet what seemed so suddenly have fallen into quite a little rutt here with SWO. Now that the popularity of blogging has increased by 100000%, everyone and their mother (literally, my mother has a blog too but more on that next time) has a little blog and it’s exactly that: ONE LITTLE BLOG in a sea of blogs who have mini-blogs and micro-blogs and blogs on top of blogs on top of more blogs.

So what makes your blog stand out? Is it your style that draws people in? Is it your insightful ramblings or funny annecdotes that keep them locked in? I think some of the best blogs out there are a combination of all things. Anyway so along with my blog layout overhaul, I’ve been thinking a lot these past few weeks on what sort of changes I want to bring to my content. I want to introduce some new “features” and fun posts instead of my typical “I went to this event, I wore this, I ate this, I’m hanging out here…lalala” Which is all fine and dandy too but I feel like I need to inject something NEW INNOVATIVE EXCEPTIONAL WOWOWOWOWOW. As you’ve maybe already seen a few posts ago, I’ve introduced ddtv (:D) which I’m hoping to work on more. I’ve been brainstorming ddtv ideas with my right hand man and am quite excited for the small videos I’ll be cooking up. Nothing too major so don’t get too excited though and also, feel free to comment below with some ideas on videos or any suggestions on what you’d like to see.

The other day I had dinner with some of my longest-time friends and one of them mentioned they’re going through a quarter-life crisis (ha!). It actually got me thinking and I think I might be going through one too. This year I’m craving so much change and difference that I want to do everything differently. Well, the same thing but in a different way I guess. Blogging is a way of peeking into what could only be a small fraction of someone’s life and yet it has so much power to make you want to change or adapt or create something new for yourself. Everyday for everyone is a struggle, whether with your blog, yourself, your clothes, your body, your image or your work, your family and the list could go on. It’s easy to say you want to improve and get better or whatever and you could try and have all the determination in the world and yet you still might never achieve what you want. Such is life, no? All you can do is continue to work hard and hope that you’re getting closer to what you want to achieve. Oh hello, I guess I’m Captain Obvious today.

Anyway this here little ramble has gone on for too long now, and I’ve probably lost a couple of readers few sentences in but just wanted to let you know to look out for some changes and if you have any suggestions, please let me know! /end rambling

Thanks for reading :)

P.S. Unintentional Glee reference in my post title.

P.P.S. I really want the New iPad…….): anyone care to gift me an early bday present :D?

For the TL;DR people, some pics from back in Dec when I was in New York. I’m currently missing my bf and New York so deeply and intensely.

NEON LIGHTS

Last week me and Carmen had a quick bite at Miso Cool (mmmmm yummehhh) then headed over to the Fringe Club for the IZZUE x WYMAN party called I’VE GOT NOTHING TO WEAR to celebrate the launch of Hong Kong’s most eclectic composer Wyman Wong’s collaboration with I.T.‘s IZZUE.COM. The collection is full of super trendy neons, denim and tulle. The event however was interesting..we missed the fashion show (food won over fashion as ALWAYS) so when me and Carmen walked in, we were met with half-naked models covered in words painted with neon paint inside a screened area like as if they were being quarantined. Then there was this separate room with disfigured/un-limbed neon mannequins wearing the new collection under blue light, which all looked really cool and super trippy.

Last week’s weather was super up and down and foggy like nuts so I never knew what to wear everyday…always either over- or under-dressing. This fur and leather get-up was definitely too much for that day and I was secretly sweating my brains out underneath. As you can see aburve, my hair has no transmorphed into a vibrant turqouise-y green colour. Good thing turquoise is another one of my favourite colours so it doesn’t bother me too much but I have re-ordered my dye so hopefully I’ll be back to blue by this weekend!

All outfit photos by Carmen Chan.

P.S. How awesome are my daisy print Topshop pants that nanz got for me? They’re like velvet flocked little daisies all over and it’s really comfy rubbing your hands over them wahahahhahah #weird


These were my favourite picks from the collection (taken from the IT Facebook Page. I’m not really sure about the prices or the limited availability or even when the collection comes out! Mainly cos the IT Facebook Page is in Chinese so I have no idea what they’re on about. If anyone can read it please let me know when the collection comes out! Anyway, as you probably could guess, those metal screw cuffs are my favourite pieces from the collection but I can imagine how sweaty it could get under there which is why I’ve never embraced the metal-cuff trend! Also, that denim padded-shoulder cape (on the model) is so so super cool and I’ve been thinking of getting a cape for so long! Yknow, to fulfill my long-time dreams of becoming Batman (not Batgirl..) and a denim cape? oh hello there Super hipster Batman!
