MINT X DENIM

2012-03-03T22:57:00.039+08:00

Denim- Vintage Levis | Mint Sweater- ShopWardrobeFlux | White Trousers- Zara | White Sachet- Vintage Bally | Silver Court Heels- Zara

As always, my weekend was a bliss. I welcomed a new member of the family back home yesterday, and it's name is Quincy. I'd love to show you guys a snippet of it, but it's really tough getting a proper snap of our furry little friend here, because it's prancing and hiding in the weirdest corners of the house half the time. Must I add, the weekend also gives me an added excuse to deck on my new clothes out to play! And if you're engulfed with pastels just like me, be sure to catch this mint number soon in store.

Floral Blazer- River Island | Boots- Zara A/W 2011 | Botanical Shorts- ShopWardrobeFlux | Neon Clutch- River Island | Cropped Turtleneck- ASOS

Some sort of crazy obsession over everything floral ever since it set sailed on the runway. I got a little too carried away with my ~~little~~ obsession over here, accumulating too many different variations of florals in a short span of time. This blazer somehow makes me feel like I'm part of the Amazon forest, with it's striking color palette and hibiscus print. If you're interested in joining the bandwagon, here you go. I highly suggest to get the pants too to rock this ensemble even further. Happy Friday!

DENIM

2012-03-01T00:06:00.006+08:00

Uniqlo Denim | Zara Boots | ASOS Rucksack & Cropped Turtleneck | Fortis Watch

Borrowed this pair of jeans off my brother's closet a few weeks ago. I'm still in shock at how our waist/hips statistics are so distinctively similar. Paired here with my newly acquired rucksack which I've previously been raving about. It's so quirky & loud.. something so unlike me.

MONOCHROME

2012-02-28T00:17:00.041+08:00

TheScarletRoom Pencil Skirt | Alexander Wang Kristen Sachet | Mango Court Heels | Zara Scuba Pullover

A quick errand round the neighbourhood calls for something comfy. I'm not sure about you guys, but the monochrome panel detail of this skirt reminds me very much of Celine. And of course, at 1/19039201392103 the price. Beat that folks.

CUT-OUT.

2012-02-25T23:18:00.006+08:00

Mesh Cut-Out Detailing Bra- TheScarletRoom

You'll never imagine the state of ecstasy I was in when I woke up to this. With it's slight peek-a-boo detail at front and cut-out detail at back, it's more than just an intimate piece. Something I'll see myself not just underlaying as a bra alone, but also daredevil enough to wear it out alone as a top. Pity this beauty can't be seen fully because I'm decked in three layers.

THE SIXTIES

2012-02-25T01:14:00.009+08:00

It sure feels awesome to own such a versatile piece in your closet. Taking the same exact blazer which I wore just yesterday, I wore it out again today after being highly inspired by the wardrobe of the 1960's feminist era. However, trying not to loose too much of the feminine touch, I decided to compliment this whole ensemble in these massive 6'' python monsters, which was thoroughly a mistake the moment I stepped onto that endless grass pitfall.

WALLPAPER X FLORAL

2012-02-24T00:33:00.011+08:00

My take on this season's hot trending styles this spring/summer season– pastels & floral. Today's ensemble was all about wearing print against pastel. I was a little hesitant on wearing this pair of jeans because of the unusual 'neither here nor there' drop length, but I guess folding the ends of the jeans nailed it in the end. Wearing wallpaper floral print blazer from Iscrewedyourboyfriend, clutch from River Island, vintage loafers & jeans.

Just Two

2012-02-21T23:09:00.014+08:00

Two newly acquired bags which exceptionally stand out amongst the sea of bags I own. Nevertheless, this clutch is such a beauty. With it's intricate laser-cut details and bright neon shade, it gives an instant lift to monochromatic themed outfits. Likewise, the rucksack is like a never-ending bottomless pit, perfectly suited for someone like me who has her contents spilling out of her bags 3/4 of the time. You can purchase them from here & here.

Capsule Collection

2012-02-20T06:23:00.010+08:00

Few of my favorites from the capsule collection. They're definitely one of a kind, so you guys will be spared the agony of being spotted of wearing the same piece as another stranger. That's what I absolutely love about vintage. Shop away!

Neon Rave

2012-02-18T22:03:00.003+08:00

Once again at Chinatown. At the exact same spot, 4 months later. Strange enough, I find myself very much at ease when I'm here. I'm generally not a fan of crowds, but it's different here. Through tunneling through the vast sea of strangers, having nostalgic street market food by the roads, absorbing the essence of our ancestors' culture, this place slowly grows on me after every visit. I was in much anticipation to catch the lanterns at night, but my hunger pangs stopped me from waiting on to capture the epic moment today. Featuring a neon sweater which is going to be on sale in tomorrow's capsule collection. And congrats to me, I'm another step closer to my motto of the year– color.

Sequin Knicker Shorts- ASOS | Fur Overthrow- Clozert | Studded Bustier- ISYBF | Heels- Steve Madden

Being invited to be one of the resident bloggers over at Alexis Magazine (locally based emerging fashion magazine), this fur mesh overthrow and bustier given by both Dawn & Winnie falls perfectly into place for such a joyous occasion. A high possibility you won't see me dressing up like that on a normal day-to-day basis, but such an occasion calls for something more spontaneous and out of the norm.. am I right?

Morning Glory

2012-02-17T00:00:00.010+08:00

Low-fat yoghurt pancakes with strawberries, drizzled with maple syrup

French toast soliders sprinkled with icing sugar, with a half-boiled egg

Stack of buttermilk pancakes with fresh fruit drizzled with maple syrup

Hediard's butter croissant, stuffed with potato smileys, eggs, cheese and tomatoes with fruit parfait as a side

Waffle Wednesday– Baked Eggs, buttermilk waffles & fresh fruit

And a random morning where I was feeling pasta & meatballs.

Despite the stress mayhem, whipping up breakfast has been a therapeutic option which keeps me going through the day. Some may skip breakfast because they are in a rush, or because they don't have much of an appetite in the morning or simply just because they can't be bothered. But in my case, it's a must-have, rain or shine. Something I anticipate even the night before, tossing and turning in bed, planning what's on the menu for the very next day. And the very first thing I do when my alarm goes off at 8:30AM? Rummage through the fridge. Never fails.

Saint Valentine's

2012-02-14T13:06:00.015+08:00

Alexander Wang Mules | BCBG Clutch | Embellished Graphic Print Skirt- W/F Valentine's Capsule Collection | Fur Cropped Sweater- Online Purchase | YSL Artsy Ring

Currently still in the midst of absorbing the atmosphere of the most cliche event of the year. Where over-priced roses, silly stuffed toys and chocolates are plastered at almost every corner, shoved right in your faces when crossing crossroads, couples publicly displaying their affection to each other. No, don't get me wrong, I'm not struck with a case of sour grapes but it's just rather amusing at the sight of it. Well, enough of that jazz. This jewel embedded graphic print skirt is one of my personal few favorites amongst the sea of gems I've brought in for this weekend's capsule collection. Now, would time please fast-forward to the weekend?

Rocket Mules

2012-02-13T02:52:00.004+08:00

Alexander Wang Mules

Broke into these pair of 5'' A Wang darlings which I got myself as a treat last Christmas. Unbelievably comfortable, despite the sizing running a little smaller. The season of joy always gives me an excuse to pamper myself a little more without feeling the pinch.

Pyjama Party

2012-02-12T00:24:00.002+08:00

Zara Palazzlo Trousers | Mango Court Heels | BCBG Foil Clutch | Fur Cropped Sweater- Online

Proudly sashaying in my first pair of legit trousers which resembles pyjamas pants. I love how this pair of slacks look so effortlessly great on it's own, even if it's just throwing a plain white tank and a jacket over. I personally took it to a whole new level this time by complimenting it with a fur cropped sweater I received last year. Thank God for the cool weather – gotta' take the opportunity to wear it before it gets far too hot to do so!

Neon.

2012-02-09T09:44:00.001+08:00

This is probably the boldest I've experimented with color-blocking. I'm pretty impressed at the fact that I'm steering towards a different direction this year. I'm in much determination of stepping out of the dark side, and fully embracing bright colors this season. Like I've said, I'm a biopolar dresser– I'm unpredictable as the storm gets. And be it a coincidence or just pure fate, I'm so glad I've made acquaintances with the owner of this jeep. Have been eyeing on his beauty ever since I spotted it in my neighbourhood.

Mismatched Tea-Party

2012-02-06T02:05:00.000+08:00

Despite the seriousness of it all, I love the idea of spontaneity. Because that's what makes life fufilling. With the right company, at the most unexpected hours and undeniably, when it coincides with one of the things in life I indulge greatly in- great cuisine. As idealistic as it sounds, our version of mad hatter's tea party turned out better than expected. Nevermind the mess we've made just to make this possible, nor the lemonade which split all over me because I got too carried away. With turkey ham, smoked salmon and tuna croissants, potato smileys, hot cross cinnamon rolls, home-made lemonade and the best thing yet- it was indoors, at night, in the comfort of our own room. Now who would have conjure up such a bizarre idea?

Mcqueen.

2012-02-04T13:11:00.003+08:00

Alexander Mcqueen Butterfly Jacquard Dress | ASOS Leather Clutch | Taobao Fur Vest | Fortis Watch

Mr. Mcqueen delight , accompanied with scrumptious lemon-herb crust salmon on a bed of spaghetti for the weekend. This particular dress has been etched on my mind ever since I first saw it being cradled on the runway eons ago. And indeed, a dream come true when it went on sale last christmas.

Majolica Marjorca- Lash King

2012-02-02T10:14:00.006+08:00

I was invited to the pre-launch of Majolica Marjorca's new chapter last month, and I was particularly smitten by this chapter's product releases. Although it's a not extravagantly launched as the previous few, I find it highly relatable to my daily make-up routine. I'm no professional make-up genius, but I've learnt and explored quite a bit throughout my span of being with the lovely family for the past one year and counting.. so here's my take on this particular chapter for you.

Majoromantica J- $25.90 | Because I'm one who tends to be excessively obsessive when applying fragrances, a 80ml bottle lasts me less than 3-4 months on average. And that's why I refuse to splurge on body fragrances. Majolica Majorca's ingenious invention of Majoromantica, last seen in 2011 resurfaces in this chapter with a new face, without compromising on it's content. Skip the glitter and all that jazz.. what's really the core of this fragrance is the spatula which allows really easy application over my skin, redeems me from my obsessiveness too. Plus it's handy potion-like bottle makes it all ready to be pop into your purse. Great for someone like me who's always on the move.

Blood On - $17.50 (Limited Edition) | My favorite out of the whole lot. Huge sucker for anything with duo-functionality, Blood On works well both on my cheeks and lips. With it's paste-type texture, it creates a subtle ruddy glow on my cheeks and lips, which works really well for days where I wake up on the wrong side of bed. Doubling us as a base, it helps fakes that radiant vibrant glow, without looking too much lika clown gone wrong. I'm still not that comfortable applying it on my cheeks, but I've incorporated this product as part of my daily make-up routine, applying it as a base before I apply my lipstick and for touch-up(s) throughout the day.

Lash King - $25.90 | For the record, though being an ambassador for Majolica for more than a year now, there're certainly products which I've tried and won't use a second time, but there're also credible ones which are worth every cent of yours. Just like their whole range of mascaras being one of them- waterproof, long-lasting, and hell lot easy to remove. And surely there's got to be some sort of reason why they introduce their mascaras for all of their launches right?

And the best thing of this launch was when I walked away with a free hotel night's stay! So lucky for an rookie like me. You should have seen that epic million dollar smile plastered across my face when I left.. priceless indeed.

A Place In Red.

2012-02-01T00:28:00.005+08:00

ASOS Fringe Detail Cropped Blouse | Zipia Red Jeans | Tapestry Purse- Etsy | Boots-Zara

There's nothing more cliche than wearing the auspicious color of the asian culture from top to toe on the seventh day of the lunar calendar to keep myself ~~in the good books of the older generation~~ on the safe side. There were obviously huge mobility crisis faced in the midst of all this.. thanks to the pesky fringe detailing. Well face it, this is fashion baby. And even if that means adding two pieces in the same cutting, in different shades.

High School Lover.

2012-01-30T03:00:00.004+08:00

Thrifted high-school trousers, Comme Des Garcons brogues, Uniqlo oxford shirt & socks, Etsy tapestry purse, Hermes bracelet, vintage scarf

What I wore two weeks ago where I felt somewhat a cross between both genders- a time consuming scenario which I awfully loath when I wake up on the wrong side of bed, late for class. It's amusing how the most ill-fitting pair of trousers I have buried right down in my closet are the most expensive ones I own, and the ones which fit me like a bill are those which you boys used to DREAD wearing in secondary school. Trousers which most used to disregard, are now one of the most flattering pair of bottoms I own in my closet. Life's just full of surprises..huh?

Sport Meets Luxe

2012-01-25T03:03:00.006+08:00

Metallic Sachet & Visor- ASOS | Jarold Knit Shorts-ISUBF | Scuba Pullover- Zara | Sam Edelman Boots

That obnoxious sweat jacket I swore never wear in my entire life, or that hideous looking visor which I used to snigger at just some time back. Call it the olympics fever, but with sportswear looking so effortlessly cool and comfortable, I'm definitely drawn to the attributes of such sporty elements. If you're a broke soul like me who can't bear to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of Alexander Wang trainer shorts, you can now use that dough to get 289283 pairs from here. And Daiso stocks visors for only 1/10 the price I paid. God bless my soul.

Reinventing.

2012-01-23T01:59:00.004+08:00

An opportunity to display what I've learnt in arts college, and where my amateur sewing skills finally comes into handy. Reviving what I would call a nowhere near flattering maxi dress (which reminds me of a hospital patient in every possible wrong way), a little ripping, tearing and assembling made this thrift find all seem perfect. Coincidentally, this whole ensemble compliments the whole backdrop and the occasion pretty well huh? Here's a great lunar new year to guys out there!

Fallen Petals

2012-01-19T11:30:00.002+08:00

Floral Blazer- H&M Trend | White High-Waist Jeans- Zipia | Cropped Tee-ASOS | Doctor's Bag, Belt & Brooch- Vintage | Boots- H&M

I vaguely remember this blazer was the first recognizable purchase I got off our local H&M flagship boutiques ever since it's opening last year. It's hard to find something worthy enough at our local outlet.. especially at the most exorbitant price tags as compared to the stores I went in the States. It wasn't love at first sight, but somehow it just grew on me and I immediately snapped the whole ensemble (even though the pants were a little loose at the crotch area) up before scurrying out of the store. Impulse or not, I am certain it's a smart move. And a little love to a new member of my family- the doctor sachet.

Leather Dungarees

2012-01-17T09:00:00.009+08:00

Don't you find slipping on a pair of dungarees evokes tons of unanswered questions? Are we a little too old to wear this? Is it appropriate to wear it in such insane weather? Is wearing it as silly as it feels? I say- it's all in the eye of the beholder. Wear it distastefully, and you'll risk looking like Bob the Builder or the Mario Brothers for all the wrong reasons. Wear it tastefully, and might be able to reminiscence your toddler years.. where you were sprawling across the floors of your playpen in your Oshkosh dungarees.

Leather Dungarees- Fascue | Cork Envelope Clutch- Los Angeles | Boyfriend Sweater- Zipia | Tissot Men's Watch | Converse Chucks

A re-interpretion of the classic denim dungarees, comes a version in faux leather. The crinkled leather texture of this piece compliments the overall form of the garment exceptionally well, without going over the top. Perhaps this is the solution to reignite that free-spirited childlike spirit in you in a more sleek and chic approach this summer.

The Boyfriend Vest

2012-01-12T09:58:00.023+08:00

The boyfriend vest- yet another closet staple worth coveting this season. Such multi-functional pieces are worth more than a single shade in your closet. I own three shades myself, in the exact same cutting. Instead of overlaying it as an outerwear this round, I wore it as a top alone, clasping it a statement belt. Now black on black does not necessarily need to look so mundane after all. Wearing vest & trousers from Zara, hair clutch from Ebay, belt from Taobao, heels from Mango, vintage frames from Marco Polo.

All The Wild Things

2012-01-10T22:44:00.004+08:00

Gold-Tip Court Heels- Mango, Fur Jacket & Belt- Taobao, Floral Blouse- Zara, Quilted Sling Tote- Vintage Moschino

The day before new year- it was a real challenge snapping a decent still shot under such dim lighting, but the paranomic view from the thirteenth storey sky garden overlooking the whole city scene with festive lights all lit up was absolutely necessary. My dear companion has done me proud all these years, but it's only time I've let it go to someone whose more willing to shower it with more love. Any takers?

Comic Dreams.

2012-01-08T21:37:00.001+08:00

Sashaying down the streets in a full blown cape under such an unbeatable temperature, jam-packed with strangers and can be such a challenge to deal with. Nonetheless, the occasional blow of wind felt like I was living the 'dream' of a comic superhero for a moment. Zzz-zap that! Wearing a cape as courtesy of Fascue, gifted leather piece and aviators, black slacks and silver court heels from Zara, clutch from Ebay, Fortis watch, Hermes bracelet.

Hey Boyfriend!

2012-01-07T02:07:00.004+08:00

This pair of jeans aren't technically my boyfriend's, nor any living person of the opposite gender, but it sure does makes a very handy grab-and-go piece, especially on days where I feel exceptionally uninspired to dress up. It's been so long since I've actually slipped myself into a pair of denim, and this pair probably got my interest all hyped up again. Gotta' love a steal like this, especially when it's a complete steal off the internet.

Red.

2012-01-04T00:52:00.003+08:00

Red Boyfriend Blazer-Thisistransition | Rockabilly Bag- Bimba&Lola | Red Boots- Zara

What's the best way to spice up the new year, besides busking in the aroma of baked goods and the company of loved ones? To be decked in a full red ensemble of course, along with some soft, luscious fur scored from the insane year-end markdown sale. And even though I'm far past one or two seasons back, Nicole's gift complimented this look exceptionally well. Talk about everything falling into place nicely. Perfecto!

2012

2012-01-01T02:37:00.002+08:00

U-Plunge Bra- Calvin Klein, Fur Jacket- Taobao, Skirt- Zara, Silver Heels- Zara

Oh look! It's 2012. I've been too caught up with the festive season, burning my pockets on the insane year-end sale in town, baking festive treats, roaming around our little island, I've lost actually track of time. Ahh, the constant battle between time and men. Very soon, I'll be 21. And no, don't even start on the topic on adult-hood. I'm nowhere ready to be one. Boo-hoo.

I ended my last day of 2011 on a perfect note- waking up to a really delightful and sumptuous pretzel for breakfast, diving and jumping on a bed full of confetti, basking in the sunset, and cooking up a really weird combination of udon with butter, corn & kimchi dumplings. Basically, just away from all the hustle and bustle of the icky, sweaty crowd. Refreshing & fufilling start to my 2012. Resolutions this year? I'll skip that.

Snow Yeti

2011-12-30T03:01:00.002+08:00

Why hello there, your self-proclaim neighborhood yeti here speaking. In spite of the monsoon period taking it's toll on my daily routine, it awoke the the little ferocious fur monster in me just in time for this season. Being a little too obsessive over fur this season, I got a little too carried away while shopping late last month, only to be greeted by a massive fur-ball ready to be dived in. Now, my 'monsoon' wardrobe says it all- I am all ready for Antarctica. Anyone keen?

Floral Calling.

2011-12-29T03:52:00.007+08:00

The overhead bridge- one of the most common structures we set our foot upon almost every other day, but never having a second glance or thought on how intriguing it is when it is being photographed, especially from a different angle. Although we reside in such a tiny country and we're a city too green for itself, Singapore has the most amazing scenue spots worth taking that extra moment of your time to discover. All it takes is a little extra effort, and that hunger to discover our island's treasures.Wearing the infamous floral pants and suit from H&M, court heels from Zara, snake-print blouse, clutch from Ebay, Hermes bracelet and Fortis Men's watch.

12 Days Of Christmas.

2011-12-26T11:46:00.005+08:00

In 12 days of Christmas..

#1 We had a major bake-out session, baking all sorts of baked goods, ranging from banana bread, star-wars shaped chocolate buttercream biscuits, to Miette's tomboy cake for friends and family..

#2 Had the most orgasmic homemade potato gratin, coupled with a really juicy and fat turkey for dinner..

#3 I gave Mr.Taiyaki zero chance to survive, devouring him within seconds..

#4 Got surprised with breakfast-in-bed- hot piping cinnamon bagels, coupled with cream cheese, milk jam and banana parfait...

#6 Hobbled through the rain with my boots, having a near-death experience with a mud-pool...

#7 Had a short getaway to Kuala Lumpar..

#8 Spruced our bedroom with a lucky find from the supermarket, making it totally lounge-worthy..

#9 Received the most gorgeous leather mules from Alexander Wang..

#10 & a box full of tokyo bananas, a whimsical doll-like suitcase, a cookbook, and tons of fur, knit and outerwear.

This Christmas, I've received the most extraordinary blessings from all around. Be it having a simple surprise of really scrumptious breakfast in bed at half past noon accompanied with fresh bedsheets, braving the long ride for a short getaway, having a taste at the world's best pizza, scurrying through the floors of the departmental store having a good hard laugh of dancing through the morning workout right smack in front of the security camera with my best friend, sobbing over Hachiko before bedtime, receiving the most practical and extraodinary gifts, greeted by a huge pile of fur and knits + more than 10 pairs of new soles for the month, or a lucky find of xmas decorative lights at the supermarket festive clearance rack, trying to hobble around in my new boots in the rain, or giving no mercy to Mr Taiyaki. Happy Holidays guys! Now, how was your Christmas this year?

Biophilla c/o Thisistransition | Ferragamo Vintage Waist Belt | ASOS Cropped L/S Blouse | Coach Vintage Sling- American Rag | Steve Madden Heels

Sporting an ingenious vintage creation from the late eras, this garment has the ability of transforming your look in mere seconds, just by sheer unfastening of a button closure. It was pretty obvious which look I adopted for the day.. since I practically live in slacks, trousers, everything long.. and okay fine. Like a mummy.

This was the very fateful day where I stood jaw-drop speechless at the theme-park entrance, seeing the fireworks spark right in front of my very eyes. Seeing the million dollar smiles plasted on each and every stranger inside.. make me felt even more like throwing those massive turkey legs at them. Just.kidding... I'd rather stuff that juicy massive leg into my mouth anytime... :p

Military Calling.

2011-12-14T04:50:00.008+08:00

I spotted this parka hanging at the back of our room door, when we paid my mom's place a visit last week. Ever since then, I've been shamelessly trolling in it it as if it were my own. It's as though it's my second skin, plus it makes a really good cover-up on my ifeelugly days. Paired alongside with Converse chucks, which I got off at half price during the Christmas sale. Ah, talk about sole addiction..! Need to get it real beaten up though... anyone interested in lending me a helping handt? I just can't harbour the thought of being the one spoiling my own kicks..

Farmer's Market.

2011-12-12T09:00:00.008+08:00

Oh how I look forward to the weekends! Though I'm currently having my term break, waking up on a Saturday to a good brunch almost every other week is a whole new experience of it's own. Even if it's revisiting an old place, cafe or restaurant, or flipping through old issues of magazines, sifting through food blogs or hungrygowhere on recommended places to satisfy our really fickle cravings or discovering new, unexpected places for brunch.. it all ends kind of perfect.

Located at Loewen Gardens, the market is housed within a small community along Tanglin Road. We made it just in time for the Yule weekend market, which was the Christmas special for the month. With sing-along carols accompanied with the festive treats, it indeed unleashed the festive mood in us!

Wearing a vintage army parka and converse chucks, which I will be featuring in my next post. Have a great week ahead guys.. I'll be having a picnic in a few hours, so keep me in your prayers for good weather later!

Python.

2011-12-09T23:17:00.002+08:00

Python Embossed Slipper Flats- Charles & Keith

Pair of python embossed kicks which I scored off at one of our local mass-market stores. Definitely a real steal. And for it's decent quality and price, I had to get it in velvet black as well. Still awaiting 3 pair of shoes in the mail, alongside with another 2 which I've checked out just few hours ago at the really crazy sale on TheOutnet. The jaw-dropping prices were unbelievable.. plus the last few pairs were in my size. So, I guess it's only fate. Or to further comfort myself...a girl can never have too much shoes..right?

The Gentlemen's Wardrobe

2011-12-06T01:07:00.006+08:00

Suicidal Tendencies Cap-Hosan | Watch-Dad's | Trench-Zara | White Turtleneck- Uniqlo

It's a rare chance to find someone at home to exchange your wardrobe with at home. Especially when it comes to the opposite gender, tough luck. This baseball cap was borrowed off my brother, and the mens watch from my dad. Both of which I've have incorporated into my personal wardrobe, giving my last minute get-up today a twist from the norm. Call it an accidental move or not, I certainly love borrowing elements from the gentlemen.

As much as I love the chilly weather because it gives me the luxury to wrap myself up like a dumpling without looking like too much like an eskimo gone wild, it does get on my neck how I'll always have to face the hugest dilemma of this weather- to protect myself, or thy possessions? It's always the latter of course, without second thoughts.

If you're observant enough, you would be guessing why the color of my nails are so prominent in the above photo. Well, deprived me actually burnt an hour of my life on Photoshop, zooming into the tiniest pixels, attempting to work the magic of my touchpad & the brush tool... just to give my nails a little touch of LIFE. (#firstworldpains) Now will someone bring me out for a manicure please!!!

Kitchen Therapy.

2011-11-29T00:31:00.004+08:00

On days where I feel exceptionally uninspired, spending quality time in the kitchen whipping up a simple dish or two has become much of therapeutic option. Good company, singing along to shuffled tunes, it never gets stale. Today, we made the most scrumptious hamburger mini sliders, with a healthier option of a tossed rocket salad as a side. Got back home minutes before midnight only to be greeted with a parcel from the lovely Nicole from thisistransition. Oh, and a little vintage sequin slip-on too!

Hannah.

2011-11-28T18:00:00.014+08:00

Meet Hannah. The one who's mostly responsible for all the scrumptious food you see on my blog. The is probably one of the many rare chances where you'll her donning on pieces from my wardrobe. Not for let's pretend, but for real. Amazing how she works so well in front of the camera despite her introvert nature and because my clothes are like a disease to her, she got out of them in an instant as soon as I stop snapping.

Updated the store with a couple of gems which I've never got about wearing anymore. Do hop by if you have the time!

Thanksgiving.

2011-11-28T01:34:00.001+08:00

This was last Tuesday. A pre-planned cook-out, which turned out to an indoors picnic. Entirely no recollection on what drove us to have the audacity to have a picnic indoors, what's worse, right smack in the middle of the master bedroom. Sure hell of a memorable time over piping-hot-food-which-turned-really-cold though... I reckon this won't be our last time doing this.. -smirks-.

And since the festive mood is in the air, we believe the best way to celebrate would be having a second line-up of grab bags. Watch this space this coming week, and if you've missed your chance the previous round, be sure to grab hold of this opportunity!

Zara Floral Blouse A/W '12 Collection

I've been after a decent floral print blouse lately, and Zara has managed to impress me with it's take on this print for the season. One of the more notable designed pieces from Zara, I love how no two pieces are aesthetically alike, giving you that surge of satisfaction.

Hang Over.

2011-11-22T12:22:00.088+08:00

The highlight of this whole ensemble seem to be the abstract blouse at first glance, but hey- I'm loving the maxi skirt more. This piece might seem nothing worth going wow about, but i love how this garment is constructed. From the light jersey texture, to the subtle drape detail at the front and the slit at the side of the skirt, it possesses all the qualities I personally long to have in a basic. Every tiny detail on a garment makes a difference to your whole look, so perhaps the next time you're out shopping, have the hunger to look out for such fine details. Wearing a gifted abstract tunic, slide slit skirt from taobao, kristen sachet from Alexandar Wang and boots from H&M.

-0.3 Weekend brunch

Holla, remember me folks? Now, I am one who takes much pride in celebrating the start of every term-break with a massive line-up of gastronomical culinary experiences, which includes a champion weekend homemade brunch I had early this noon.. daaa-yam. Don't you just love the thought of gathering over good cuisine? I believe food is one of the most powerful universal topics which brings people closer together, even if it means strangers from all around.

In awe of Wnderlust's second collection, Felicia surprised me one of her self-made designs as a gift. What I would label as a really versatile and conventional piece, I decided to inject the dress with a little more texture tucking it under a belt, transcending the form dress to a whole new level. Amazing how this dress's style can be switched within seconds. Do remember to holla' back at Wnderlust at their Facebook & Twitter if you love this piece!

Dosen't that surge of adrenaline rush triple by ten times when something you've lust so long over finally materializes in your hands? I'm a victim of that scenario for sure. And I know I've said it before, but I'll say it once more- my admiration for denim never dies. So does Phoebe Philo.

Linger.

2011-10-30T00:57:00.004+08:00

It's Halloween, it's Halloween! Now, what happened to the good old tradition of dressing up in the whackiest outfits, trolling around the neighborhood, knocking on doors screaming 'HAPPY HALLOWEEN' at the top of our lungs, leeching buckets of candy out of neighbors we really loathe, only to have that million dollar smile when you see your bucket being filled to the brim? Halloween, the only time where your neighbors become your best chums.

Well, my plan this Halloween? Tickets to Hong Kong and waking up to a fine spread at Antoinette. Real decent fare, but really awful service. Oh pardon me, I'm already in the festive mood. Christmas in Hong Kong? Awesome combination.

Destroyed Knit / Zara Shorts / ASOS Clutch / Sam Edelman Boots / Gold Choker / Python Print Leather Duo Sleeve Jacket- Taobao

I'm probably the most klutzy person, ever. I've been crippled for a week and counting, not because of some major accident, but a really ridiculous attempt at doing jumping jacks indoors without proper footwear. I must weigh a ton.. now I'm suffering the aftermath and even got a nickname for myself by my friends because I've been limping away in school. Well, the only comforting fact is I've got myself a new hair color for some self-therapy an back to Rapunzel-like locks this weekend! Change makes me feel like a brand new person, somehow. Let's just hope I can get kickin' soon.

Transiting through print on print, denim on denim, utilitarian wear, loose knits, mens trousers, Nikicio's brillant pieces from her upcoming Mixté le printemps 2012 release, good weekend brunch, parfait in bed, new hair color and hopefully.. a room revamp. This week, I've ditch my former love for everything feline for some python loving in my closet- wearing duo-tone python/leather applique motorcycle jacket, over some random loose knit, Zara shorts and leather clutch from ASOS.

There's this alluring charm when it comes to Chinatown, especially on a Sunday. Be it the old folk gathering at the town square playing a game of traditional chinese chess, the chattering of the bustling crowd, the usual tourist gimmicks seen plastered all around, the cheap and really good local fare there is certainly something I'm really missing right now. Especially the popiah (english vegetarian spring roll) & Tong Heng's signature egg tarts, which is just a stone throw away from Chinatown.

Been living in blazers all this while, I guess this piece I've added to my wardrobe needs no formal introduction. But color! You're seeing me in color, bless me. Seen here is a full houndstooth suit which I bought off Zipia, a Seiko submarine watch, maroon turtleneck and clutch from Zara, and heels which are unfortunately too narrow for my poor feet.

Mission Control

2011-10-08T21:49:00.006+08:00

Current crushes- Resisting hitting the snooze button on my alarm clock just to start my weekend right with fresh berries, yoghurt and Barcook's famous raisin cream cheese bun for breakfast over a few laughs of Modern Family, back to black outfit(s) never go wrong when you're having a wardrobe malfunction, +9 pieces of outerwear overnight (think lush fur, python, nude, denim, tweed and some lip-smacking houndstooth print, god at last), a blouse decently close to Phoebe Philo's signature two-tone denim shirt (which will make do for now) and finally, three pairs of shoes which I've been religiously living in. The rest of my shoes on the shoe rack are practically non-existant to me at the moment..

I'll be having a jam-packed week ahead, spending over my weekend over at the other side of the world, catching a media launch of one of the most notable fashion designers in Asia. What an honor for me, God is good.

2011-10-04T00:49:00.002+08:00

A close-up shot on one of my newly acquired kicks. Uncanny resemblance to the 'famous' pair which has been circulating the whole blogosphere, but no, they're not from Zara. I was actually taken aback at the workmanship of this pair of shoes, considering I paid peanuts for it. Sadly, the fate of this pair of heels and it's new owner (me) ends here. Walking cross a junction seemed like such a feat.. just imagine me hobbling across the road in the midst of the 5PM office crowd- not a very pleasant sight. Luck just dosen't seem to be on my side this month.. damn.

Foccacia butter bread, stuffed with walnuts, avocado slices, tomatoes, swiss cheese sprinkled with paprika and lots of pepper. It seems like I've chosen sandwiches over noodles and rice this time round. Something I would never swear off on a normal day. Whoever said being a vegetarian was pure torture, try this monster sandwich and if you still feel the same way.. I'll give you ten bucks straight in your face. Good Saturday guys, it's now time for me to drown in the world of market research.

Wednesday Morning

2011-09-28T23:42:00.001+08:00

Dear you,

Pulling out The Selby was the first thing I did when I roused. Maybe gathering room inspirations in my rather groggy state of mind wasn't a good idea, all I can retain is "To Buy: A snow globe!!!!".

Moved on to cookbooks next. Tomorrow would be Thursday (Thursday evenings are set aside so Hosanna & I can sit together and chomp down whatever we'd just rustled up) anyhow.

Cookies for dinner? Maybe.

I'd rather desserts for dinner!

Perks of using spare change as a bookmark? Candy money.

Melanzane Alla Parmigiana might be on the menu tomorrow! I marry thee Aubergines with thy bubbly cheese, feel free to copulate in my tummy.

In anticipation for 2012.

Hobbits, hobbits, more hobbits!

xx,

Hannah.

I received this beautiful delicate creation in the mail a couple of weeks ago. It was everything you hoped for in a blazer.. fully lined with a subtle sheen, welt pockets, lightly padded (I do not like stiff boxy blazers, thank you very much) Plus fully lined in reptile print? Triple BAM! Everything seemed so perfect... till I gave it a second test run last weekend. It seemed as if my shoulders grew wider overnight.. I was struggling to even stretch my arms across the supermarket aisle shelves reaching for the cereal boxes no less than half a meter away. So.. any takers would love to take my place of being the lovely owner of this blazer so I can up-size my purchase? Drop me a mail if you're interested.

Today's extraordinary. Spontaneous experimenting with my gold cuffs turn out looking rather swell on today's whole assemble. Not only that.. I broke my sleep-in saturday mantra and stayed up the whole of last night just to make sure I don't miss my first culinary tasting session by the quay. The place where I dined did not have much of a breath-taking view, but that delectable bowl of muesli saved it. In fact, it killed it. Rushed to the nearest supermarker thereafter to grab the most decent looking box of muesli..and here I am typing this whole chunk of word vomit while savoring yet another bowl. You'll see me surfacing traits of a gerbil sooner or later. And I thought I was over granola a week ago. God bless me.

I've done it again. Got a little carried away assembling outfits and am now facing the severe aftermath of the huge mess I've conjured. It's as though a hurricane strucked my room. Well here you go guys.. shopwardrobeflux has been updated.

Tasty Thursday

2011-09-21T22:30:00.007+08:00

Wraps are so amazingly delicious and easy to make. Instead of the usual tomato/cream based ones, we decided to make wraps with a healthier alternative(after countless of cheat days devouring all the oh-so-sinful overload of calories over the weekend). So presenting to you, our humus based wholegrain wrap stuffed with tomatoes, rocket leaves and turkey breast.. alongside with vinaigrette corn salad in a jar. Nothing fancy, but really delicious! There's no exact recipe to follow, it's merely just 'thrashing' all your desired ingredients all over the wrap. It's great if you guys can 'invent' your own wraps and let me know how it goes!

I love how we've made a point to have a cookout every thursday, trying out different recipes at the heart of our own humble kitchen. And someone please enlighten me, how does humus taste so heavenly? By far, Original Sin has one of the best humus..coupled with their very own wholesome pita. Who says healthy food never taste good huh?

Denim.

2011-09-17T22:03:00.003+08:00

Celine Luggage Tote | Front Row Denim Applique Blouse | American Apparel Riding Shorts | Seiko Submarine Watch | Topshop Boyfriend Blazer

When I saw this blouse on the model, I fell in love with it instantly because it looked so perfect on her. Okay fine, I hesitated a little because I never really saw myself wearing color, especially denim. But well, I got it in the end! So much to love about this blouse, a pity 4 out of the 6 buttons on the blouse started falling apart when I had my first try in Bangkok..which saw me locking myself up in the toilet for 15 good minutes struggling to sew the buttons back with my amateur sewing skills, 10 minutes trying to thread the thread into the needle. Love-hate relationship with sewing, I say.

Thank god term break is finally here! Not that a week counts, but at least I get to catch up on well-deserved rest, spending some quality time with my loved ones, sorting out my closet clutter and a room revamp..perhaps?

And I practically live in these pair of sunglasses. Not only does it save me from my 'ugly' days.. it's also my handy tool for catching on sleep without looking the least embarrassing on my bus ride home everyday from school. Have a great weekend, while I have a blast of mine too.. weaving, sewing and sketching.

In a nutshell.

2011-09-12T21:22:00.003+08:00

Many of you have been wondering what actually goes on in my everyday life. And so.. presenting to you my life, in a nutshell. Or rather, being an Instagram-whore for the past 3 months. Other than documenting part of my life through my blog, Instagram has done a really great job in capturing the slightly more personal moments of my life (although it's mostly food, food & more food). I swear, this application is like a cult. I can spend hours getting ~~distracted~~ inspired from so many users from all around the world with their drool-worthy photos. If you're an iphone user, you'll get what I mean. If you're not, time to join the bandwagon!

#1 The team from Shiseido was too kind to send over a courier just to deliver this invitation by hand, which I got a shock at first glance. Handcuffs? BSI? CSI much? Hahaha, they really do know how to catch me off-guard with all their surprise events!

#2- Trying out buttermilk pancakes at 3 A.M using the Star Wars pancake moulds which I got for Hannah over at Williams Sonoma. As delicious as it looks, Hannah had a really tough time flipping & perfecting Mr. Yoda. And his tiny ears.

#3- Treat from the beaver, all the way from Katong! Nostalgic Dona Manis Banana pie, with a scoop of frozen yoghurt. Mmm yum.

#4- Gas went out of supply at the eleventh hour. Resorted using the rice cooker to make a quick lunch. This really tickles me at the thought of it!

#5 A quick & simple outfit to church on a Sunday. Daddy loves this outfit because I'm covered from top-to-toe. He got a little too excited and even offered to buy me more pants after seeing me in this get-up. And in case you're wondering what's all the marks on my knuckles, that's burnt marks from Los Angeles's sun rays.

#6 What I shoved into my shopping bag at the clearance rack at Zara. Everything you'd love in a knit. Never found a perfect moment to wear it out though!

#7 Delicious banana crumble muffins rising in the oven. Just look at the overflowing crumble..god.i.need.one.right.now.

#8 By far the best BBQ gathering I've been too. Every dish right down to the sauces were home-made. Think hamburger sliders, salmon skewers, garlic knots, maple honey pots, meatballs, tandoori chicken, capsicum, corn and pineapple sticks and the most amazing blue cheese dip.

#10

#11

#12

#9 The most insane waffle phase I went through. All I could think of was waffles. Waffles, waffles and more waffles. I've tried waffles from almost everywhere and even tried making my own home-made ones given my own waffle machine as a birthday present from Mel. And my best bet? The one from Udders. Buttery, dense.. everything you can ask for in a waffle. Or the nostalgic confectionery kaya waffles if you're on a budget.

#10 The huge line up of grab-bags which left me sleepless for 3 days. Packing it was sure tiring! And the counter staff at the post office were pretty annoyed at the amount of parcels I had to send off, hahaha!

#11 My first time getting a go at painting a room, Not my room of course. With all my feet + hair + hands stained for days after. Ah, I can be a painter as a sideline in the future!

#12 The day impulsive me went to Ikea to get a bench to add to our room. Just.like.that. Now all my hideous junk is hidden beneath this bench, hahah!

#13

#15

#16

#13 Finally, OOTOYA's in our neighborhood. If you manage to get your feet there, don't forget to try the tonkatsu set. Or the hamburg. And the talking pen..just for the kick of it.

#15 Piping hot chocolate chip cookies awaiting me when I woke up on a Sunday morning. Judging from this pile, you know that one is never enough..

#16 Sunday morning outfit. And the ring which magically disappeared. Now you know why you hardly see me in rings...just for this reason.

#17

#18

#19

#20

#17 My patriotic outfit to celebrate our nation's birthday. One of my first few tries at attempting to wear white.

#18 Re-invented ramen at the Ramen Championship. Too sinful for me.. with noodles as thick as 'lor mee' and shaved pork lard all simmered in the soup broth.

#19 This is the reason why I look forward to the first day of school. Probably almost every Lasalle student's comfort zone-Hot Spot. And my favorite combination would be fried fish tom yam soup with maggie mee, with two saucers of chili padi. The aftermath was a really bad tummy ache.. but I've no complains!

#20 My equivalent of hell. Time seems to pass too slowly when I'm here.

#21

#22

#23

#24

#21 The day where I was mistaken for a mafia, perhaps due to my full black ensemble.

#22 Really adorable post-its I got myself for school! It's a paper-doll, where you can dress up! Got a little too obsessed and purchased four different dolls just to get four different outfits.

#23 When I had Chanel for breakfast....just kidding. Was taken for a school photography project.

#24 Attempt at taking photos for one of my lovely sponsors but failed :/

#25

#26

#27

#28

#25 The day we went in search for the best larva buns in Chinatown, only to be left disappointed because we were late by the minutes! What a pity.

#26 Series of shots taken over at +66. The magnificent hotel which we bunked in, a bed enormous enough to fit 6 men, a picture-esque view of the city right from our suite and Hannah's most memorable suprise birthday cake,

#27 Most delicious scones from Vanilla Garden, which I gobbled down in less than 5 minutes.

#28 A frame of my outfit a couple of days ago. Paired here with my Celine tote, which is such a fragile beauty to be brought out too often to deal with the harsh world.

#29

#30

#31

#32

#29 Compulsive me and my huge granola stash which was hogging 1/2 of the fridge space for a week.

#30 Because every thursday deserves a cookout.. last thursday we made citrus crust salmon with couscous, tossed in with cherry tomatoes and seasoning which tasted like chicken rice.

#31 Imposter Swee in action. Had a great laugh at Hannah wearing my clothes, acting all sassy in them.

#32 A dinner date with my brother. Ahh, we never seem to stop going on a feast when we're out together. Antoinette was definitely the highlight of the day, with the most scrumptious crepe, and earl grey ice cream coupled with pistachio macaroons to end the meal off sweetly. Can't be more perfect!

#33

#34

#35

#33 New python troopers which I'm hoping to wear out very soon! Have been in a recent craze of everything python related. I'm thinking of matching this pair of kicks with something more subtle for a relaxed day outfit..suggestions anyone?

#34 Mother of all gods of Dim Sum. Last Sunday's brunch..can you spot the holy salted egg custard buns glowing?

#35 Got a little surprise from Kki! All perfect for lazy sunday afternoon. Accompanied with Drop Dead Diva on replay and a cup of earl grey tea..that's my Sunday for you guys!

Well I sure hope after this post, you'll realize that I lead an ordinary life like you guys, and there's nothing much to admire about me actually! Although sometimes, I really do question whether I should change my profession because food is just..too good to be true. You'll get my drift somehow.. judging from all the snaps I've taken. Good Monday guys! Count yourself lucky, I've had a really long day at school sewing my ass off.

Through the eyes of Bangkok

2011-09-08T00:03:00.001+08:00

It all began with a simple sentence- 'Let's spend your birthday in Bangkok Hannah!' and before we knew it, we were already there soaking in the goodness of this vibrant city. We did our research on all the restaurants/street food/cafe haunts prior to the trip, so we were definitely not left disappointed. Bangkok was awesome beyond words. Had the closest experience with more than 100 marine species, a nostalgic birthday dim sum brunch by the riverside, and ended it perfectly at a bookstore set in the most perfect setting. The sprouting cafe culture scene in Bangkok is something which I would be back to discover even more. Happy Birthday my little one, I hope you enjoyed your humble little birthday surprise. Love, your bratty sister.

Thursday Treats

2011-09-01T21:41:00.000+08:00

I never used to be a believer of breakfast until recently. Breakfast being the first meal, boosts your metabolism for the day and makes you more energetic! And this is our very own thursday morning meal for two. Breakfast cereal, low-fat berry yoghurt and kiwi fruit. Ultra yum!

Land Of Smiles

2011-08-30T22:45:00.001+08:00

I'm back from my spontaneous weekend getaway! Likewise, the land of smiles let me in awe once again. I'd never seem to get bored of travelling to Bangkok despite travelling here countless times. Going to the same places, seeing familiar faces all over, getting that sense of nostalgia. I'll definitely make a trip back there in December..wait for me BKK!

Heading to Bangkok for a getaway weekend in less than 24 hours, and here's a rough idea of what I'm packing for my trip. Fuss free, light and easy. Traveling to Bangkok is such a breeze, I've never once had a headache of packing my luggage.. nor dealing with the nightmare of sitting on my luggage..sweating my pants off fitting all my possessions. Oh before I forget, sunblock! Got to need tons of that.. I won't want to be a red lobster when I return. Will blog from the other side if I can, take care for now!

Wrapping myself up like an eskimo is probably something I'm known for, thus I was a little hesitant wearing this pair of shorts out initially. This was the evening where I went on a dim sum expedition at Chinatown, which left me disappointed because I missed the most orgasmic cookie topped crust custard milk buns. I transit through really weird food transitions, especially at THE time of the month. I am such a difficult person to deal with sometimes, especially when it comes to my inconsistent food cravings. Paired here with my trusty zoe boots.. its torn up soles really calls for a new pair soon!

A post solely dedicated to one of my most loved sponsors. Yup, I'm not kidding when I used the word 'pool' to emphasize how much jewelry I've been showered with. And what you see here is just half of the stash. Now, how am I going to fit all these on my body at one time without looking like a laughing stock? Not complaining though... I'm indeed blessed. Happy Birthday Singapore! If you're lucky enough.. you will be able to spot me loitering the streets in my patriotic get-up.

A successful shot after tons of many re-takes at the Santa Monica Pier theme park, where we got guards chasing and questioning us whether we're models on duty for the day, ha. The leopard poncho might seem like the center of attention in this particular post, but hey.. I'm loving the vintage coach bag which I got off at American Rag at Melrose Avenue for 30 bucks. Blessed with a pair of swift dagger like eyes... I'm pretty sure my future boyfriend won't mind tagging along when I go shopping. 2-3 minutes on approximate is all I need to scan a whole boutique. Great Wednesday to you guys out there!

Unplanned move, but who knows.. you might just catch me within the masses of the national day crowd cheering along to the fun pack song in full force. Just kidding! And thanks to the ever so generous team at The | Luxuriate, I officially declare myself stress-free. Goodbye to the days of camping in front of ASOS waiting for the polish cuff choker to be re-stocked and lusting over the finer pieces of Celine & Margiela's.. which I'll never see myself affording in the next 5 years. Life's good when you've got a pool of sponsored jewelry for your arms to swim around in. Hell yeah!

Not something a sane person would consider wearing under a theme park setting with a temperature of close to 32 degrees.. but I just had to wear this dress a second time to pair with my new found love purchased at Open Ceremony to pay a silent celebration for it. Being a VIP for a day, front pass tickets to every show, sprinkled with crumbs of the world's best cinnamon rolls, a glance at what goes behind the screen of a movie, touring the whole Hollywood set (including Wisteria Lane & Dr. Seuss World), meeting Kevin from The Proposal, fighting off dinosaurs in King Kong 3-D.. and it's best feat- going on the Jurassic Park water rapid ride. A drop as close to 3 stories high, with me silently screaming like an idiot, secretly hoping that this was just a dream, cursing to myself that I never existed at that very moment, it just stood there bravely beside me.. not uttering a single sound. Definitely something worth applauding. I'm sure it enjoyed its very first adventure with me...so three cheers!

Morning Bliss. Lemon bundt cake, completed with vanilla frozen yoghurt. Could have been better with a scoop of Häagen Dazs Caramel Biscuit & Cream ice cream, but still!

The Getty Villa

High-waist Trousers- H&M / Vintage Watch-NakedGlory / Cropped Linen Blouse-ASOS / Steve Madden Heels / Coach Vintage Messenger / Balenciaga Bracelet

The Getty Villa over at Los Angeles.. a historical sight all the way high up in the hills. I've never had the habit to wear watches, haven't got about wearing to one for years either, but after lovely Yoko from NakedGlory sent me not one, not two but three of these lovely vintage-esque watches, I've fallen back into the loophole of wearing watches all over again. Do check out her site! And if you're lucky enough, you would be able to spot her selling typewriters from time to time. Paired with my H&M trousers I got off at a bargain off the clearance rack at Third Street Promenade, cropped linen blouse from ASOS and my vintage messenger tote, which needs no introduction. Great Sunday night!

A gist to what I've been adding to my closet incessantly while I was away in Los Angeles & over the past few weeks, thrown together with some of my darling staples from my wardrobe. A girl can never stop shopping. Once she starts, you must, never, try to stop her. TGIF folks!

Thursday musings- A sneak to few of my most recent purchases from Los Angeles & over the weeks (insane number of bottoms which I have no idea why either); slogging my guts out to pack grab bags for the past 3 nights; message-in-a-cookie shortbread cookies. Gotta' rush out for dinner now, take care darlings!

Overworn this particular pair of shorts to death. Ahhh, the love-hate relationship I have with my clothes. It must have been God's blessing this pair of shorts caught no one's attention because it would be a such pity if it's no longer in my closet. Shall share with you guys some of my personal closet must-haves once soon enough!

Monday Morning

2011-07-11T15:21:00.002+08:00

Great start to my Monday morning. Literally sprang up off bed, raided the fridge and made a complete mess of the kitchen just to get my home-made waffle fix which I've been craving for, ever since I got my waffle machine. Nothing tastes better than waffles made out of your own bare hands..greek yoghurt cream cheese waffles, topped off with honeydew & blueberries, drizzled all over with maple syrup. Not bad for a first...needs a tad more butter though! Here's the recipe to satisfy your waffle cravings. Be it 10AM or 2AM, you decide.

Los Angeles, Venice Beach

2011-07-11T02:22:00.003+08:00

White Lace Midi Skirt- Destrucked, Floppy Hat, Straw Clutch, Silver Cuff, Leather Jacket

Explored many places in Los Angeles, but Venice Beach was one of the more distinct places which I clearly remembered. Not because we paid a visit there twice, but because this place excludes a certain vibe which attracts you in a queer way. The little quaint houses along the beach walk, the insanely cold breeze, the ghetto crowd.. a pity my camera chose to die on me at the very last moment or I would be able to share my very first encounter with an ice cream sandwich. ''No one leaves Venice Beach without an ice cream sandwich.'' Lush banana flavored ice-cream, sandwiched in between a peanut butter & snickle doodle cookie. Which I wrestled hard with against the cold breeze, before swallowing it whole in 3 big mouths. When will I be able to start savoring my food like the French..? I wonder.

Once again, a huge thank-you to those who participated in the grab bag special. All grab bags are completely sold out!

Major disappointment- The L.A.M.B wedges which came in the mail yesterday were a little too tight for my mammoth size feet. So much for that one week anticipation. Thank God for returns!

#1 Was approached to do an interview with Alexis Magazine some time back, forgot it for a moment, till I got a nudge from one of my readers on twitter. Well, June has ended and July is here, a little too late, but hey! Always late than never, right? Thank you Alexis for the one page spread, it has been more than a pleasure and honor for me to be featured on your magazine! -winks-

#2 Coveting after this baby since forever, finally it's in my hands. One of my most treasured possessions which I've managed to score at Open Ceremony at Los Angeles last month. Definitely way cheaper than what you get on the www, but the tax there just kills it.

#3 Popped by Zara today to check out the end of season sale, and lucky me managed to walk out of the store with these two purchases at a reduced price! Don't even start on how I'm going to survive in such thick knit. Yes I know I will be dying in it, looking like a complete laughing stock, but hey guys..vanity comes with a price!

#4 Had a taste of Filipino cuisine this afternoon, and indeed it was a culinary experience. Those photos above do no justice to what I was experiencing when I was feasting over the spread. And the caramel like pudding you see above, otherwise known as Leche Flan, is something which will set you high. No kid.

Idealism/Realism- Wnderlust

2011-07-04T01:39:00.003+08:00

I solely believe in promoting e-boutiques which I sincerely love, just like this particular local e-boutique, Wnderlust owned by Felicia. Launching her debut manufactured line Idealism/Realism, this collection features a monochromatic palette which features versatile wardrobe staple pieces. Definitely what you would not call trendy, these pieces are made to last, even if it means transiting over to the next season, the season after next and 4 seasons down. This is not shameless advertising. I've actually succumbed into temptation and added two pieces to my cart myself, namely the Monochrome Utilitarian Chiffon Dress Shirt & the Fluidity Chiffon Skirt both in white, feeding to my recent fond liking towards this particular color, which I never saw myself in.

Such a young talent deserve more encouragement from you guys! Give her some love by checking out her store here, or adding Wnderlust on facebook & twitter.

Vegas Skies.

Here's a look at Vegas at seven in the morning. Streets still bustling with drunkards, party people from the night before, the continuos buzzing of slot machines ringing in your ears. Caught in a casino maze half the time, Vegas isn't that beautiful and scenic like what you see in movies, but I must say it is an eye-opener being able to live across the wonders of the world at every corner of the street. The Effiel Tower of Paris, the Statue of Liberty. the Caesars Palace, even the Trump tower by Donald Trump..right smack in your face.

3)Majolica Majorca Aurora Tear Liner (Blue) (Chapter 31- Fake Sleeping)

7)Majolica Majorca Rouge Majex PK211 (Chapter 31- Fake Sleeping)

8) Majolica Majorca Majoromantica F (Chapter 31- Fake Sleeping)

In theme of Majolica Marjorca's Chapter 31's Fake Sleeping release, I had a try at creating that doe eye look which I've always lusted for using the products specially from this chapter. Starting off with Majolica Marjorca's Aurora Tear Liner, topping it off with Majolica's Last Expander Frame Plus Mascara and ending with Majolica Marjorca's Majoromantica F scent, I'm all ready and set to go in just 15 minutes. Although this look looks pretty dramatic at first glance, it's good to go for both day and night. You too can achieve this fuss-free look just by heading down to any participating Watsons outlet from the 30th Of June!

Majolica Majorca- Chapter 31 (Fake Sleeping)

2011-06-30T16:29:00.001+08:00

And it's the time of the year again! You won't believe how excited I was when I received my invitation cushion from the team at Majolica Marjorca when the postman came knocking on my door. Guessing from the cushion I've received, I figured the theme would be something whimsical and dream like. And boy, was I right! This chapter's launch was held none other than Wanderlust Hotel, one of the very few hotels which has a unique twist to each and every one of their rooms, and for my first experience I got to experience what they call the 'Tree Room'.

Apart from the marvelous once in a lifetime eye opener experience at the Tree Room, we got treated by the team at Cocotte, a well-know French restaurant which I've been wanting to try since forever! We were treated to a very wide selection of mini bites, which I suffered a very bad food coma after that. Boy, the team at Shiseido really do know how to treat us like queens, so much so I'm not used to being treated this nice!

Snapshots with few of the other lovely blog ambassadors (Audrey, Colette, Ang Gek)

In Chapter 31 (Fake Sleeping), limited edition products are introduced. This chapter spins round the tale of how the Prince found Princess Aurora and she awoke with sparkling eyes that dazzle him.

What's in my press kit:

Aurora Tear Liner (Blue/Pink) $19.90

Slightly different from the normal range of eyeliners you see in the market, Majolica never fails to surprise you time and time again with their ingenious inventions.This eyeliner comes with sparkly base. Giving you wide sparkly puppy looking eyes, a must have for your first date as I'm sure you charm him with those whimsical doll like eyes. You can also use it on your eyelids and the tip of your eyelashes and it's really fuss free to apply due to it's thin like brush! I'll do a look of the day on the next entry trying all these products from this chapter out!

Lash Expander Frame Plus $25.90

To compliment this chapter's newly introduced Aurora Tear Liner, this product not only lengthen your lashes, but also gives it volume as well! Definitely a keeper!

Majoromantica F (Fragrance Of Fruity Forest) $23.90

Having tried multiple brands and range of scents, I've not found one which I really feel comfortable with and one which I would stick for long. Well, this broke it. Ah, dosen't the bottle remind you of Aladdin? And the scent totally smells like cotton candy, and the color of fragrance is pinkish! Barbie fan alert. And what's unique about this fragrance is that it comes with a spatula instead of a sprat because it's slightly thicken than water, slightly more to gel based.

This chapter is indeed for that dark side princess lurking inside you. One of my top pick would be the Majoromantica F Fragrance, which I would be keeping tons for myself. You can join the bandwagon by grabbing yours when this chapter releases at selected Watsons stores from the 30th of June!

I'm sorry to tease your taste buds, but I thought a little food visual porn would suffice after travelling 17 hours across the globe back home. Still very jet-lagged, I burnt my weekend catching on (much needed) sleep, hours in the kitchen baking very scrumptious Yoda-shaped butter shortbread and going on an asian food trial, after depriving myself from chili for three whole weeks (can you imagine the torture?!). Well, I'm sure glad to be back in Sunnyvale. And the best momento I got from Los Angeles? A very, very bad sun burnt. No kidding. And apparently, I'm the only victim out of all 4. Looks like the sun really hates me.

Venice Canals.

Wearing the Steve Madden wedges I picked up at Nordstorm the other day, Samuel chanced upon the Venice Canals en route home and made a round trip back there just to share the spectacular view of the canals with us yesterday. One of the best and dream like places in Los Angeles to reside in..soo spectacular. Can't believe this week is ending..I'll definitely miss this place for sure.

Grand Canyon.

2011-06-16T14:06:00.001+08:00

Two weekends ago, we spent our whole weekend forcing ourselves to wake up at daybreak, travelling up Morth for 6 whole hours just to catch the scenic and paranomic view of the Grand Canyon. And let's say.. it was worth it. The sneak peak of the Grand Canyon just left me..speechless. Love how Me and Melody are always dressing for the occasion. Not intentionally, but coincidentally most of the time. Well, magic you can say! Worn above is a boyfriend vest scored off at half price overseas, silver cuffs from F21, and a floppy hat which we only feel comfortable wearing overseas, without feeling like a complete idiot. Have a great Thursday guys, while we continue with the rest of our adventure which I promise you guys we'll share in proper when we get back to Sunnyvale!

The Grove.

2011-06-10T15:31:00.001+08:00

Just a quickie. After much hesitation, we paid the Farmer's Market a visit and did a little last minute shopping around The Grove (which is an amazing place by the way) today. Setting out at sunrise for Disneyland in a few hours, can't look more forward to it!
