If only real life were as straightforward as virual life. I mean, this new toy of mine, Polyvore, allows one to pick out items from just about anywhere, some of them sold out already or one of a kind or... whatever!

Singapore's founding father, Lee Kuan Yew, has died, and the nation is officially in mourning. Enough has been said with regard his good/bad points already, and I do not intend to pass any comment on the man myself except maybe in private, with friends. Instead, today's post is inspired by a conversation shared with Gorgeous Husband this morning concerning the word 'vintage' and what it ought and ought not properly be applied to.
Layering is key in Europe and America, not only because it can be highly stylish but because it helps to keep you warm. By way of a contrast, in Singapore, we try to avoid layering our clothes.
No, it isn't that I've been invited to attend an event during fashion week. It's just that I've been promising Gorgeous Husband that I'll take him to Paris some day ever since we first met in 2006, and it's booked already. Yay!
Meanwhile...
I might not have lasted very long as an education officer with Singapore's Ministry of Education, but I did at least stick it out for long enough to suss out the dress code.
First off, let me confess the real reason why I arrived twenty minutes late for a lunch appointment with my gal pal Kathy. Five minutes of lateness really were due to having taken a wrong turn off Bukit Timah. The other fifteen were the due to my wanting to test drive an all new item of magic underwear that I only just bought.
OK. So one of the many things I promised myself I would take a look at is whether or not I really need to add a patterned pencil skirt to my wardrobe in order to remain current this year, and the bad news as far as my bank balance is concerned is that it's looking a lot as if I probably should succumb.
I was trying to produce a post from my list, honestly I was, and then I got distracted by this funky ap that lets you play fashion editor, or at least up to a point.
Gorgeous Husband has suggested a good way to begin a blog might be to prepare a list of 50 topics I feel confident would make reasonably interesting postings. Doing this might also help me to figure out what the main thrust of this blog is supposed to be, so here goes:
Gorgeous Husband suggested Dempsey Hill for his birthday dinner, and I suggested The Disgruntled Chef, where I once ate such a beautifully presented chicken liver pate for lunch, I have been striving ever since to make my own duck liver pate look half as pretty for eating.

Hi there. My name is Liz and at age 50 and after 20 years of shuffling to and fro between Singapore and the UK, I've learned a thing or two about what to wear and how to have fun wearing it.
