If you chose mostly a's:

Silky soft layers in creamy hues are reminiscent of winter's powdery beds of snow and are perfect for those more inclined to pursue a "comfortable-chic" look. Muted tones like the ones pictured above don't leave much room for error, and can be easily layered to suit the temperature or your mood. A favorite of mine has got to be that aztec-printed woolly - the shapelessness of it would go so well with a pair of equally flattering skinny jeans!

If you chose mostly b's:

 Step up the edginess with architectural heels, fitted blazers, tailored shorts and studded loafers. While you're going crazy with dimension, shape and form, make sure you keep a good balance by skipping out on colors that are too extreme. Ditch the vermillion and opt for a brick red, and who needs electric blue jeans when you've got an effortless pair of acid-washed ones? Next time you're out for some retail therapy, opt for the accessories rack instead and pick up some statement bracelets/geometric necklaces!

If you chose mostly c's:

Your wardrobe is best defined as a disorderly explosion of color and eclectic finds, regardless of whether you picked them up from Fendi or a flea market. Sometimes the most unexpected color combinations wind up being the best, and you're definitely not afraid to take that risk! Get your hands on as many printed pieces as you can, stir things up with a colorful ombre top, and finish with white-hot Docs for a winning ensemble. 

my current wishlist!

With various commitments and exam revision occupying my every waking hour, as well as pieces of homework being hurled at me in every direction, life is tough for a blogger in freshman year (cue twice as many complaints next year when the real exams come around!). School makes it extremely difficult for me to blog consistently, and sadly it's all downhill from here; school doesn't exactly get easier! I've got my internal exams in a month's time, so I shall most probably be on either a hiatus, or posting very sporadically. Guest posts will definitely be up to bridge the gap of my absence, so keep checking back for new stuff! If you're interested in guest posting for Seven Inch Stilettos, email me here.
Anyway, amidst my record-breaking levels of stress, I've managed to do very little other than schoolwork, except drool over all sorts of delights that I would kill to call my own. I've compiled a short wishlist of things that I've had my eye on for a while now; it's good for a girl to dream!
 

1. Mary Katrantzou x Topshop

 Cue the choirs of angels, this iridescent, paint-splattered confection of a collection has descended upon us from heaven, delicately designed by the one and only Mary Katrantzou. (Gosh, her name is as intricate and complex as her mind-boggling designs). With sharp silhouettes and designs that could pass for optical illusions, these artisanal seperates are not for the faint-hearted. This gorgeous collection just landed in Topshop stores in Singapore; I think you can guess who'll be running there as soon as possible, armed with all her life savings to spend.

 2. MAC Makeup Brushes

I'm slowly falling into the addictive trap of quality makeup, and it's taking a huge chunk out of my wallet. I've started acquiring more and more high end Sephora-esque products as opposed to drugstore deals, and surely quality makeup deserves to be applied with quality brushes?! I've had my eyes set on MAC's elegant collection of stunning brushes for a while now, but the downside is that they're seriously pricey! Quality? definitely. Style? Yep. Value for money? Not so much.

3. Jeffrey Campbells

In all honesty, I haven't done my research on these babies just yet. However, they caught my eye as soon as everyone (I mean EVERYONE when I say everyone) began wearing them, and they seem to possess the same iconic flair as Doc Martens, which appeals very much to me. I really hope I get a pair of these beauties at some stage!

4. TOMS

I bought my first pair for my birthday, a classic navy blue pair. They're comfy as hell, and although they're relatively expensive for what they actually are (a base and a piece of fabric), you're technically paying not only for shoes for yourself, but also for a poor person in Africa. TOMS has an ethical ONE for ONE policy, so when you buy a pair, someone in Africa gets a pair too. Although these disintegrate relatively quickly and start to STINK after they've been wet the first time, I wouldn't mind another pair (or two, or ten). 

5. Composition Books

This sounds so unbelievably lame, but I'm such a sucker for timeless pleasures such as the humble composition notebook (unfortunately, these are exclusively available in only America, from what I can remember). It sounds silly, but I'm a stationery-whore and these notebooks are just the cutest in every way possible. The black printed cover is so iconic, it's the type of thing you see in movies throughout the years. I have two blank ones left, and I plan to savor every page!

6. Abercrombie & Fitch Sweatpants

A HUGE Abercrombie & Fitch outlet just opened in Singapore recently, and unfortunately they've got me under their musky-cologne spell already. The super-soft fabrics that A&F sweats are made of are to die for, and the huge variety of cuts, colors and prints make them virtually impossible to resist. With a flattering fit, an iconic logo and a huge confidence (and butt!) boost, there isn't a reason why any girl SHOULDN'T have at least a pair.

& - My new favourite beauty product ever, which was once on my wishlist but now sits in my makeup pouch: MAC's Mineralize Blush in "Warm Soul." It's versatile, long lasting, and provides the most beautiful pigmentation which is both subtle and alluring.
