How do you look so good all the time? Is there a secret?

The secret is confidence and ability to mix and match successfully

You have a cool style! I would love to see more of your own style instead of copying models though!! :)

Thank you I appreciate this! I would take this in mind so do look forward to future posts on my own style! :D

How did you managed to decide on what to wear for school every morning? I can't and I always end up being late for class :-(

Hey thanks for the question! I believe that planning early is key. Everyone is so groggy in the morning and that makes it hard to choose a perfect outfit for the day. So my advice is to always plan early and have them laid out beforehand!

HI!! I was just wondering out of all the oufits you have shown us, what is your favourite combination?

Hello :) My all time favourite will be the sweatshirt and button dowon combination that I have shown in one of my posts. I think that it is a really interesting look that everyone can try out!

I love your blog :) In your opinion, what are some basic male apparel that every guy should have in his wardrobe?

Hi and thank you, I appreciate this! :) I think what is the most important piece of clothing that someone should wear would be plain coloured t-shirts. This would be easy to match most of the other apparels such as outer wears in your wardrobe. Do ask me again to clarify any questions! I hope I helped! :)

Hello fellow fashionistas and welcome to a new blog post by me! Today, I will be showcasing another typical outfit of the day (#ootd) of mine in a day at school! As you have already seen from the picture above, it is really a simple mix of clothing from my wardrobe, but I will tell you why I really like this piece later on! Now, take a look at a list of what I wore!

- Topman Plain White Tee - Topman Vintage Jeans - Converse Chucks - Calvin Klein Watch - JanSport Backpack

The tee that I am wearing already has its sleeves rolled up on a permanent basis by the people of Topman, unless of course you want to rip it out. I find that this style pulls off a very casual look, and gives a variety to what you're wearing on top especially if you like to wear plain and simple tees like me! You can find Topman's signature tees and even ones with designs which already has it's sleeves rolled! Try those on and you will instantly tell whether it looks nice on you. Be sure to take note of the fitting, the one that I am wearing the picture above is slightly oversized! :)

The jeans are my favourite piece of this outfit. The reason being for one that I paid quite abit for this lovely piece although it is a little hard to match for most of my other clothing pieces in my wardrobe, thus I treasure it alot! And also, it has this amazing wash that captured my eye once I saw it in the stores. Although it is fetching a vintage look that most companies already are trying to pull off, it looks perfect with a combination of light blue. I feel that I had to buy this piece definitely, and I instantly had a picture of what I am going to wear it with, as seen above!

The red Converse Chuck Taylors ends off the look with a classic American casual wear. This pair never gets old and its dark vivid red matches the wash of the jeans perfectly! You could try out this colour combination on a day at school, it is good to wear out and comfortable to wear too! Share with me your comments!=)

Another day in school means another day you get a chance to pick your outfit of the day! I hope you guys have enjoyed reading my blog and it did give you an inspiration to start off your days in the future. Today I will be touching on another look that is an interesting pick although it may seem normal and simple.Using the black and white effect, here is a list of what I wore!

- White 'Love' Graphic Tee - Topman Chinos - White Vans Boat Shoes - H&M 'Party' Cream Tote Bag - H&M Black Beanie

A bottle of coke helps to give the picture a candid look although it is safe to say that I was actually posing for this shot! Well, a little of photography tip won't hurt! Back to what my outfit of that day, I kept in mind the tee to be of a simple design and it serves to add a flavour to the black and white effect. A plain black plus white combination would be a little boring.

I added the beanie and folded the sleeves for a little style and variation to the top features! It is an interesting pick because the outfit is simple for even one single class in school but it still looks good as a whole. I would advise you guys to add specific styles like, me - folding the sleeves, addition of accessories such as beanies and tote bags to give your look to be a fresher and slightly complicated one.

You do not want your outfit to be as plain and common as somebody else's! So do try out and be sure to give me your comments, and as always, thank you for reading! :)

It was a weekend to enjoy with my friends! We decided to have a thrilling day out, cafe hopping around the streets of Somerset Road. As soon as I heard that we were actually hopping around in the town area under the possibly hot weather on a Sunday afternoon, I decided to wear the a simple outfit. Here's a list!

- Plain Black Tee - White/Blue Flannel - Khaki Berms - Nike Rosherun - Black Beanie - H&M tote bag - Regular Shades

Although it contradicted my philosophy for breaching two colours or more in an outfit, I was really stressed out to not wear something so plain again, furthermore I was out to impress some people on the streets too. Look more classy, at least! Thus the addition of the flannel led me to putting on a beanie. Shades was neccessary to keep my eyes from burning from the sun and the sneakers was a must as it really provided me maximum comfortability as we were expected to travel alot. What I could improve was to wear a black coloured bottomwear instead, to reduce the influx of colours that went into my outfit for that Sunday afternoon. Nevertheless it did help me through survive casual day out!

You guys could actually try out other simple flannels that could go over your plain and simple wear on a typical day out. Share with me your comments below!

Introducing my class in Singapore Polytechnic in the Diploma of Media & Communication, Class 03.

Ranked as one of the top courses that I wished to take on after completing my 'O' levels, I was surprised to actually been given the chance to be one of the students in this course. It was also a step forward to filling myself in more on the aspects of being a media professional, as I was interested in the field. 

Since then on, I have been exposed to numerous classes and lessons that have helped me gain knowledge and skills that will come in handy for future jobs. This is all done in the presence of good environment and facilities to help me boost my ability to the fullest.

The best time of the journey for me is definitely in this semester, Semester 2 of Year 2. I was contented to receive a manageable amount of workload. There has been a fair share of projects in Year 1 & 2 so far! This is the best time for me as a student also because we have The Agency all for us to do our projects in, gaining access using The Agency Card.

I am looking forward to better experiences in the remaining year that I have here in Singapore Polytechnic and in my class, due to some issues and unhappiness that frequently arises among students when doing group work. That aside, there have also been many opportunities that are being given to us and most are done independently. Polytechnic life is majorly dependent on independency and without hard work and proper planning of your own schedule, things may get messy. So far I have been juggling between school work, social life, and on my football career too. It has been one hell of a ride and one important thing that I really love doing, sleep, has been sacrificed countless times. Zombie faces frequently appear during a year long period. This is certainly a good way to help us be work-ready especially when many assignments and work are due during the same week. Planning is thus heavily essential.

Fantastic day to everyone and welcome to a new entry in my blog! Today I have followed a look that is amazingly popular to many people. Although it is hard to tell, teenage fashion icon, Harry Styles, did pull of this look in One Direction's Music Video, Story of My Life.

I think that the look really pulled off well, especially the use of colours that I never thought would be nice. As you can see from his picture, he wore a short sleeved plain black outerwear with a grey and greenish looking low cut tee in the inside, with a gold necklace. I really ought to look up to Harry Styles as being one on the most fashionable celebrities as of now, and of course despite his young age, he has dazzled many other celebrities on his good sense in fashion in many occasions. The look almost glittlers in contrast to his light skin tone. 

Here is my attempt and a list of what I wore:

- Black Short Sleeved Button Down - Music Art Gray Tee - Choker Black Pants - Black Vans - DIY Necklace

The outfit did not do justice to me I thought, as my rather tanned skin tone failed to make the outfit have a full effect. And I also failed to find a golden necklace plus a low cut tee. However, Harry wore tight black jeans with boots, and I think that perfected the look in overall. It gave a goth looking and classy casual feel to Harry Style whilst in the music video.

Today I will be posting on the recent Open House that was held in Singapore Polytechnic. An event that lasted 3 days, it was a special tradition that the institution have annually, to attract post secondary school students to our school. The Open House this year gathered a huge crowd as expected, being the first Polytechnic in Singapore. Singapore Polytechnic has a huge advantage due to its experience in this field, including the different schools. Today however, I would like to talk about the event that happened and activities that took place in preparation and whilst the Open House lasted, here in the Diploma in Media and Communication.

Also having a booth in the auditorium, which is the main area where many students would most likely visit due to its placement near the MRT station, there are much more happenings that took place at the CASS Foyer, or T19 in which much more student volunteers and lecturers help out in helping the guests have the most welcoming entrance possible and also leave with considering not only Singapore Polytechnic as their first choice, but also Diploma in Media and Communication as their chosen course.

Luring guests in the CASS area, student helpers guided secondary school students and their parents on the basic knowledge of the course. Interested students would then make their way up to CASS, which was located at quite some distance away. At CASS Foyer, student volunteers which mainly consisted on the Year Twos, Threes and also the Alumni came to help the guests.'

I must say that the Agency Tour was a popular visit by anyone who went to the Open House, as it shows how the facility looked like, inside and out. I think the main attraction towards the Agency was certainly the Space Radio Booth. Being one of the students in the Agency doing my own projects, I did see numerous groups that entered the space to look at how the interior looked like. This was definitely one tour that attracted many potential students of Singapore Polytechnic, featuring kind and friendly tour guides who would love to answer any uncertainties at all.

Hello peeps and welcome to a new post - finally this time it is not about denims but just a look that I would recommend for all ages! To get things straight, sweatshirts and button downs never go wrong - but you must get the sizing right!

Sizes make a big impact to anything you wear. I ran into a problem to achieve this look and I would like to share with you what it was. Planned in advance, I already picked out in my mind what to wear on a weekend out with friends, however I ended up being late due to some wardrobe disaster. The H&M jumper was too tight to be worn over my plain button down and I had a massive struggle trying to put it on. FInally, I found the above grey and black striped sweatshirt to be worn over. 

Here is a list of what I wore in conclusion:

- H&M Plain White Button Downs - Striped Gray and Black Sweatshirt - Black Chinos - Converse Chucks

Luckily, the look was achieved even though I would have preferred the sweatshirt to be of plain black. It would have went perfectly with a pair of jeans and Converse Chucks. So get your sizes right and always try on before the day you actually plan to wear a new outfit! I would like to add that this combination of collared tops and sweatshirts may be a hassle to weat but everyone will definitely look good in it, for example, Ellen Degeneres has a signature out of this! It is good for an office or work day out, as it gives off a professional look. Good luck and share with me your comments!

Holla guys and welcome to a new entry to my blog: Abstract Apparel. You might be wondering why none of the looks that are featured here by the models or even by myself are explained by me to be abstract. Abstract to me is a style that one must pick. Even throughout the whole blogposts here, it is up to you to pick your own style.

Everyone has their own feature that they look best in. That explains my recent fury with denim jackets. I think they fit me wonderfully. Bear with me as I touch on my last post for denim jackets, and today you will see an overall review on these jackets.

The picture above explains the point that I will be going through today. Mixing and matching of colours. The extremely light denim wash goes well with a plain black tee while as you can see from my previous two posts my dark vintage denim jacket goes good with a plain white tee. Either way, I think it pulls off remarkably and you can simply, match any colour with denims and it would not even go wrong.

Even a denim collared shirt inside goes with a denim jacket, and trust me, it is the trend. Personally I like contrast amongst my outfit and not more than two colours or two shades of colours. 

P.S: Roll up your sleeve to look more casual. Denim for the win!

[abstractapparel]

Welcome back guys to the string of denim-frenzy posts in my blog! Today, I will touch on yet again on the aspects of denim jackets. The aspect for this post will be on sizing. What would be the size that you would choose for your denim jacket?

You may have read that from the last post, I chose the extra small size for my Topman Vintage Denim Jacket - which was obviously not for someone of my physique. You see, the main reason to why I did not pick a jacket my size was that I wanted people to see what I was wearing also - from the back.

If you were to wear a denim jacket your size or even oversized, no one would actually pick out what you are wearing on the inside if they were to stand or walk behind you.

Besides, it has been a style for me and I think it looks good, when that certain piece comes out just by abit. I could also comfortable fit my hands into the jacket's pockets and it would land perfectly to rest inside. 

I am not saying that picking another size is wrong, but you need to find out your build and decide which style best fits you! The furs are removable and I have removed it for this simple wear with a plain white-tee. What do you think? Share with me your comments below!
