PETER PILOTTO FOR TARGET

The wait is finally over, Peter Pilotto for Target went live on both net-a-porter.com and target.com on 9th February. I was glad that we rushed through our brunch that Sunday and stayed close to our laptop for the rest of the day so we wouldn't miss this highly- anticipated fashion war. We did our homework well; browsed through the lookbook days before, set some budget for the haunt and meticulously observed the materials of each item.




Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos are the creative minds behind the London-based Label. Known for their intricate details of graphic prints, futuristic sculptural designs and delicate textiles, Peter Pilotto creates masterpieces that define the beautiful silhouette of a woman and is embraced by many, some of which include the likes of Hollywood Stars like Emma Watson and Carey Mulligan.

Overall, I am truly impressed with the collections for this collaboration they did with Target. The kaleidoscopic patterns and modern cuts at very affordable prices made it irresistible to not even take a chance to glance through the lookbook. We missed out on the collaboration that Isabel Marant did with H&M last november, so we will never let that happen twice. Apart from that, no queue, no moshing, hassle-free payment and shipping... I am beyond glad that they were available online. We were lucky enough to have our dear friend in Seattle that we could shop through target at slightly lower prices (compared to net-a-porter) and enjoy free shipping, so many thanks to my boyfriend and his lil' brother! Though we have to wait til' May for his next visit to Singapore before we can see/feel/wear them, it is worth the wait. Here are the pieces that we selected:




1. Blue/White Colorblock Cardigan US$34.99
2. Light Blue Floral/Check Print Pencil Skirt US$34.99
3. Red Floral Print Shirt Dress US$34.99
4. Red Floral/Check Print Sweatshirt US$29.99
5. Black Stripe Print Skirt US$34.99
6. Purple Floral Print Dress US$69.99
7. Green Netting Print Tank US$24.99
8. Green Floral Stripe Print Pencil Skirt US$34.99

Simply can't wait to wear these beautiful pieces. Goodnight love!

Cheerios,
Alyssa

THE BRIGHTEST DUO

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." -Coco Chanel

The sun has been scorchingly burning, but we both will never let that ruin our 'oh oh tee dee.' With the Angbaos we have collected and the endless sale around town during the CNY week, we did what we do best: shopping. We especially love the collections that were marked down at this time of the year because they always include some of the spring and summer items that tend to be bright and vibrant in color. We love anything that adds a little personality to one's look. 


CELEBRATING THE YEAR OF THE HORSE

I know this post is way overdue but it's better late than never. I hope everyone had a wonderful Chinese New Year Celebrations!

THE HUMBLE BEGINNING

"Designers make clothes, women make fashion."

It is not surprising how fashion has taken the world by force. Since the times of Marilyn Monroe to the age of Miley Cyrus, it's always evolving. Through the eyes of godly talented designers, they humans are able to create something so cleverly different yet beautiful- A representation of outstanding fashion pieces through things that are merely fabrics, leather, exotic skins, acrylics you name it. Then there are the visionaries who are able to arrange and combine those artful pieces together into a perfect match, the ones we called outfits and styles. Actually this ability is what makes us bold enough to write a blog about ourselves, our lifestyle and our unique interpretation of exquisite genres in fashion.
