Outfit Diary: Galaxy Dress + Craving Updates

Remember the time when the galaxy print was in? I never really hopped on to the band wagon and got anything galaxy printed. I don't own any blue/purple galaxy leggings, or sweaters. It was always something I loved seeing ON people, but never thought i'd be able to pull it off. It was a trend I hesitated to be part of, because it was just too much for me. I mean I love a little bit of colour in my outfits, but this is bordering "too much". Still, I have so much admiration for people who can pull it off!! They still look so chic in that funky colour skirts and leggings!

So a couple of years back, I was in Bangkok with a friend, and found a boutique stall in chatuchak market selling amazing clothes! They had the galaxy dress in Blue and Black. It was just 2 colours, blue and white or black and white. I bought the blue and white one whilst my good friend got the black and white (she keeps her outfits pretty neutral - with the exception of floral prints). But since she never wore it out, and felt it was too out of her comfort zone, we traded, I gave her a denim dress and she gave that to me.
Wait... I guess I do own galaxy clothing items after all - 2 in fact! Point is, I never wore them.




One day, I decided to just bite the bullet, style the black & white dress I brought to London. Yes I dressed up, to run errands, AND, I found a nice road on the way back after buying my chicken wings, so I took some photos! I took a different route back because I missed the turning to my usual route - but it worked out well!

Experimenting with the print on print trend here, I like the print on this jacket, but its such a statement piece that I find it hard to match non-casual outfits, but since everything I'm wearing is pretty much black and white, the 2 prints sort of mesh well together here. Right?




Speaking of chicken wings, I've been having insane McWings cravings ever since I stepped into london, nothing seems to be satisfying it. I don't understand why they don't have it in Mcdonalds here. Its a craving that neither KFC nor Nandos can satisfy - I've tried both.
I think McWings is probably only served in south east asia or something, but for those who have never tried, just imagine a spicy Nandos chicken wing and a KFC fried chicken having a baby. That's what it tastes like!
Most of my other food cravings can be satisfied here - So far I've had Dim Sum, Ramen, Roast Duck and loads of Japanese food. Of course we can't consider the Singaporean Local delicacies I miss - that'd be unfair to London. I really do enjoy the food in London especially when I get to splurge and eat out, but I REALLY DO MISS MY MCDONALDS MCWINGS!! I use to eat them at least once a week; I know its VERY unhealthy, but you know, I can't help myself.


Why am I getting so worked up over food... ANYWAY, I've just completed a whole 2 weeks of touring around Scandinavia and Switzerland, and I'm back in London preparing for my finals this year. This was just a short filler and quick update before my posts from spring break come in - and of course to declare I that I FINALLY wore my Galaxy dress out!

By the way, If you do have any tips on how to live with/get rid of/alleviate cravings, please let me know, if not the first thing i'll do when I return to Singapore in the summer is going to be eating 3 boxes of McWings and I doubt thats good for my body or heart!
