INSTAGRAM - Week of February 24, 2014

 I charge my lack of outfit posts to the fact that my friends (whom I manage to convince to take photos of me from time to time) and I are extremely busy with packing and moving things to the new flat, thus no time and energy to have mini photo shoots around the block. We are thrilled to move to this gorgeous and spacious executive flat that we managed to find at a monthly rent of $350 cheaper as compared to the previous place. Although the flat is older, I am particularly excited at the thought of arranging my own walk-in closet. As the new place is twice as huge as the previous one, we have some corners that won't be using. We have a mini veranda that no one wants to use so I am using it as my new walk-in wardrobe. 

FLAT-OUT

Have you ever found yourself having to do something only to do something really far from what you ought to do? If this hasn't happened on you just yet, well to me, it happens almost often. Having an active imagination allows me to picture out things in their utmost unusual ways; sometimes even inappropriate ones, in just a snap. This happened this weekend when I was thinking of writing my next article for Secret {W} Business, but instead I took random stuff from the closet and ended up taking photos of them. 

FIFTY SHADES OF BLACK & WHITE

There is always a certain allure of black and white photos that defy colour trends and predictions of what Pantone declared the colour of the year was. Yesterday, and arguably two years before that, I was suppose to have a photo shoot with my good friend. We had this amazing concept of long, fluid dresses against a backdrop of the romantic sunset - an exotic mixture of deep orange and bright yellow. An unparalleled concept that rivals that of an amateur layout artist we often see in photography websites, that of mine and my good friend's remains (until now) - guess what, yes - still a concept. (Insert sad face emoticon here.)
