It’s finally our favourite time of the year again: FALL!
Granted, it’s not that obvious in Singapore: no changing colours of the leaves
and no drop in temperature. Instead of fall, we get the monsoon season. Raindrops
fall from above instead of beautiful orange-hued leaves. That being said, it’s
the spirit of Fall that is important! Why not bring autumn to yourself by
celebrating some of the wonderful things that you can do in fall? To get in the spirit, we've decided to create
a wishlist: 10 things I want to get/do this Fall. This post will be in 2 parts
since it’s pretty long. First up, Christine’s wishlist!
1. A
black knit sweater
Sweaters are the number one
essential item for Fall. One simply can't survive Fall without the
classic sweater. To accommodate the fickle-minded weather in Singapore, I have
been looking for a open knit sweater. Black because it is the easiest colour to match.

2. A pair
of green boots
Green, any shade, is en pointe this season. The very first pair of olive boots I
saw was at Charles & Keith. It was love at first sight. The perfect green.
The perfect heel height. The perfect cut-off point. Then I looked into the
shoes. It was not perfect anymore. Not with those fleece-lined insoles in
Singapore. I'm still searching for the perfect pair.
3. Leather
Jacket
Who doesn't like leather jackets? Okay, don't answer that.
Anyway, leather jackets are also one of the essentials for Fall. It simply
spices up the whole outfit: pair it with girly dresses to give an edge to your
look or simply go for the rocker biker chic look with dark skinny jeans, white
fitted shirt and combat boots!

All are also out of my price range.
4. Pumpkin
Spice Latte
Which sadly is not available in Singapore :( One day, I'll visit
USA, just for a taste of this elusive and highly-loved Starbucks drink. And do
some outlet shopping at the same time.

5. Salvatore
Ferragamo's Signorina eau de parfum
Fall means new perfume! This has a rather sweet smell and the
strongest scent I can discern is rose.

Top note: Red currant & pink pepper
Middle note: Jasmine, peony and rose
Base note: Patchouli, panna cotta, musk
Disclaimer: I have sinus; my nose is not fully functional. Also, I love sweet
things. So this perfume definitely hits the right notes with me! :)
6. Krispy
Kreme doughnuts!
It's so unhealthy but I can't resist! I've yet to visit the newly
opened store at Tangs though. Soon, my glazed babies!
7. Anything
plaid: Plaid pants (H&M), flannel shirt, plaid bag, plaid scarf
Fall, meet Plaid.
Plaid, meet Fall.
That's all.
Plaid, meet Fall.
That's all.
8. (p)Leather
jeggings
Pleather jeggings are probably a better option than genuine leather
jeggings in Singapore. The humidity will just "sauna-fied" those legs
of yours. Which is not a bad thing, really, for my thighs and calves, but I
can't stand the heat.

9. Fall
manicure!
I haven't the time to do any self-manicure since the start of
school. I just need one day, or one night even, to do it.
Colours to try: Oxblood, Navy Blue, Deep Purple, Metallics and Holographics.
(side note: I've yet to find a polish that gives off the silver nail foil look without actually using the silver foil).

10. For
Singapore to really have Fall weather
I guess I can continue dreaming then.
Check back tomorrow for El's wishlist! :)
Till next time.
Love,
Love,
Christine and El xoxo
