I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Leather Coat – Gift from mummy (Massimo Dutti), Stripe Top – Uniqlo, Jeans – Replay, Khaki heels – Primark, Necklace – DanniJo

Over the weekend I had a chance to dig at the blog archives, that token a-day-in-the-attic tour where you peel open just about every dusty photo album and realise how much has changed in the years past. It really is about time to acknowledge that this blog has entered into the latter years of toddlerzone (fwee years old and some) and has so far learnt to use the potty and has grown a decent set of milk teeth; this mummy is also gradually starting to patch together what might resemble a life. Amidst pockets of embarrassing moments (defined by outfits wherein enthusiasm was far from curbed) I realised how much my attitude to dressing is now vastly different. The so called life I’m patching now involves mornings of a regular alarm+snooze pattern, and attempts at giving the wardrobe a rattle yet falling straight back to the fail-proof outfit of jeans and a top of some cotton variety. The transport option: bicycle, dictates what I wear, and the common jeans happen to be the only thing I own that doesn’t get caught in the back wheel. On other – enthusiastic – days I get a few honks from bus drivers who are either trying to alert me of the skirt-in-wheel situation… or to make me disappear from the road altogether, both likey. So over the past 6 months or so the number of jeans have tripled, and when Replay got in touch with their Laserblast jeans (always read ‘laser’ in Dr. Evil voice), I must confess – I revelled. Not just because at the time all my other jeans were pickling in the laundry basket, but it so happens the Laserblast technology eliminates chemical treatment and ensures there’s 85% less water involved in production; green jeans, in other words. This also means no blue smudge on my white accessories or this chair I now sit in for 8 hours a day. (They also sent over the Trailor for the Laserblast but other than the model’s butt, please know that my sentiments to the video can be summarized with one word: Cringetastic.)

    LASERBLASTTT!!!!!!! The model’s butt was indeed cringetastic!!!! *__*

  2. I really like it! :))) I think your outfit are showing that brands doesn’t make sence, style make sence. It is so nice that you have mixed cheap and expensive things together, it looks gorgeous! Im in love with necklace :)) (I hope I have said everything properly, because english is not my first language…)

  3. Many of my yesteryears jeans are still folded up never to be worn again or one of the pairs is next in line for DIY slaughter.

    I haven’t seen your hat in AGEEEESSSSS, since 2 summers ago?

  4. While living in Copenhagen and biking everyday, everywhere, I never gave in to wearing jeans full time. I know I should have – it may have made things much easier and subjected far less Danes to accidental underwear showings – but I stood by my skirts!!!

    But YOU miss, you look so fab and simply chic that I’ll have to rethink jeans once I’m back to the city of biking again….

    Truly lovely look – as always!

  5. I absolutely love your bag and the color of your shoes! I laughed when you mentioned the bus drivers, haha!

  6. That necklace is beyond admiring admiring word I can provide. Every bit of spice, funk, color, illumination, and uniqueness. Completes the outfit. <3

    But it sure is interesting to see how things develop over time, isn't it? My blog is still learning to walk and it's hard to target my niche, exactly, but even in this short time I think I've come a decent way. Not necessarily the best in every aspect, but it's still better than swimming in solid puddy. Writing styles evolve and daily fashion becomes more internal and less about trying to appeal to your audience with radical cooperations. Love your taste: jeans, white tee, keds, what have you. It's real style and I'm in infinite awe.

  7. what a chic outfit! such a cute hat!

  11. I work for a denim boutique so I can indeed agree that jeans rule. The amount of skirts I destroyed due to rear tire friction are innumerable, so denim it is and shall almost always be.

  12. Gorgeous necklace and bag! Very nice casual look :)
