playing on polyvore

So I was totally bored just now and started playing on polyvore. I wasn't initially planning on putting these up but then I thought it'd be good to document some outfits that I'm keen on recreating/reinterpreting in the coming year...(with my real wardrobe hah.) Enjoy! In no particular order.

scientia ac labore

Oh gosh how could I have forgotten to post about this?! Yesterday was my graduation. I am now officially Carly Lim BSc and officially a chemist! Wow. The whole day passed really quickly. A few months ago I was really quite depressed about graduating, but yesterday I was finally happy. And excited. And it was stinking hot and humid.

One thing I do regret is that I didn't get any photos with my friends! WTF right? I'll have to wait and scab some from other people's cameras.

dress - Blook

shoes - Nose

belt - Cat's Whiskers

ring - tuleste (via shopbop)

(just realised everything, except the ring, I wore yesterday is from stores in Malaysia. Humm.)

le stud

Matiko Leila - Black Nappa

So yeah we did actually order those Matiko loafers. Bino came over Thursday to pick them up from my house.
I'll be showcasing mine soon one day, I got the ones with silver studs.


Also! I got a new camera! A totally unexpected graduation present, and a new camera has been a long time coming. I got the Olympus PEN EPL-1. I love it because it's an SLR system in a compact body and easier to handle than a dSLR. What can I say, I just wasn't ready for the dSLR lol. I'm still getting the hang of it but here's a few shots I took yesterday at dinner. Olympus FTW. 

Meet Dries Van Hoppen. You can probably guess that I named him after the illustrious Belgian designer. Look at his cute little buttons.

Everyone got their tree up? :)

vert

I miss the colour green. That bright, fresh crayola type green. It's been popping it's head back in recently, which I think is wonderful!

armor & harnesses.

I was just hanging out on asos.com having a little perve on the jewelery, and I came across this stunning harness. You can rock this harness with nearly every look. You can wear it to look grunge or you can wear it with an evening gown! It will compliment nearly every look you go for :)

N.B- Just don't wear it on the treadmill.. bad idea. bad look.

So I found a harness of my own in my collection and I had and had a little play around with it. But I'm pretty sure the one above will end up in my box of jewels!

#1 of the musical tshirt posts

Rojer David have been the cause of this particular fetish I must say.  They have a radical collection of rockstar tshirts.  If you buy one, you get the next one half price, so my brother and I always grab one each.

This Beatles tshirt has the Abbey Road cover plastered all over it. How wonderful :)

Love BMK
