I've been terribly busy this week but we managed to sneak out for a couple of hours to have a nice tea break.

We both dressed up in stripey stripes!
Hehe.

The cut out stripey cropped top on me was inspired from Topshop and will be launched next on TTR!
Really impressed at how similar it was to my original piece..
We've also made it slightly longer so that it is more wearable!
;)

Outfit of the day:
Love Song Flutter Top upcoming on TTR,
shorts from Topshop,
shoes from Steve Madden,
accessories from Sensibar

We've been launching quite a lot of basic-ish tops on TTR lately.
And for good reason!
I guess basic tops are the easiest thing to throw on when you wanna wear shorts and can't be bothered to think really hard of what tops you have in the wardrobe to match.
I have a corner in my closet (LOL which is absolutely bursting) for all my basic tops.
So on dress down days, I just reach out for them and off I go.
Hehe.

The basic top and shorts combination is an all time favourite of mine.
So simple and fuss free.

The Love Song Flutter Top can be worn 2 ways depending on your personal preference!
You can either wear it as off shoulder or as a normal spag top in my pictures above.
;)


My pretty arm candies are from my favourite handmade accessories store,
SENSIBAR!
Heh.
I've been waiting for so long to receive my customised name bracelet ever since Jazreel showed me a sample piece which she was playing around with from a few months back.

And this extremely sweet friend of mine gifted me with not only one customised name bangle,
but she made them for Jolene and Jessie as well!

Check out the hand stamped hearts!
And the Sensibar box is hand stamped as well.
DAMN EFFORT OKAY.

Pretty sister name bangles for 2 of my favourite people in the world!


 “For there is no friend like a sister 
In calm or stormy weather; 
 To cheer one on the tedious way, 
 To fetch one if one goes astray, 
To lift one if one totters down, 
 To strengthen whilst one stands”

- Christina Rossetti, Goblin Market and Other Poems


Will be back from BKK with pictures to share!
I've already done a travelouge the previous time I've been there,
so I don't think I will document my trip in such detail.
Will share about new places I explore though!
;)

Meanwhile,
have a good weekend and week ahead!
I'm so glad that I'll be taking a short break from work.

Dempsey House // Laduree

Hope everyone had a bearable Monday!
Mine was good because I managed to complete quite a bit of work.
Tried on tons of samples and approved them all!

Looking forward to the new arrivals we're having for the next couple of months!
:D

Went to new places last week so here I am blogging about them!

I was a horrible careless piece of shit because I forget to bring my camera out,
and neither did Jazreel whom I was supposed to be meeting that day.
So I picked her up at Raffles City, drove back to Ang Mo Kio, then to Dempsey again.
And I told her "We need to spam lots of pictures today to make this camera pickup worthwhile!"

Cute menu in the form of newspapers.
Hehe.
:p

I'm not the most adventurous person when it comes to food but this...
Is the Pumpkin Hazelnut Fries!
Daring or what!
Hehehe.
Turned out to be quite anti climax because it didn't taste as exciting as it sounded.
In fact, no hint of hazelnut at all!
Quite bland actually, so I wouldn't recommend this.

Warm Salad of Wild Mushrooms.
WHICH WAS REALLY FLAVOURFUL.
We quickly devoured this!
(Okay la also partially because we were starving!)
Totally unexpected and when we both ate this, you could practically see our eyes light up.
Yes it was that good.
Even though it's just salad.

Old fashioned American Sliders which came with sweet potato fries and truffle fries!
The fries were awesome!
The burgers, not so.

I reckon we should have ordered the Asian Sliders instead.
It comes with kong ba pau instead of mini burgers!
Sounds intriguing to me!

Stupid Jazreel took 'don't-know-to-laugh-or-to-cry' photos of me because I was trying to get my cuff bracelet off and realised that the latch was spoilt.
Was so afraid I'll be wearing them around forever but luckily,
I managed to force my hand out in the end.
LOL.

We had a fries party!!!
Hahahaha.
But honestly, their fries are really yummy.
Especially the truffle fries and it's like the best out of all those I've tried so far!

I could have gone on and on without stopping.
Which might be the reason of my extremely bloated tummy later on in the day.

Warm Banana Salted Caramel Cake to end the day!

I'm bad with descriptions so I stole these off the menu:
"Stacked with chunks of glazed bananas and popcorn. Slice into it for oozing salted caramel and coffee soil."

I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
Heheh.

Camwhored in the toilet because remember?
We needed to spam more pictures to make it worthwhile!

Jazreel says "Hey take a picture of me with the tree!! Looks like a mini Christmas tree!"

My outfit of the day!
Wore the Pixie Pie Chiffon Top in White because I have been wanting to wear it out ever since it arrived!!
We gave this top a drawstring bottom,
not the most conventional but it gives off a nice ruche-y effect which I adore a lot!
Plus, you can loosen it as you eat, hahaha.

My really special friend whom I first got to know through a TTR X Sensibar collaboration for our first manufactured piece, then got to know better through her shopping at TTR and on Instagram.
And hey, look where we are now!
:)

Borrowed Topshop's dressing room for outfit shots!
Hahaha.
But okay hor, at least I bought something when I left!
#notacheapo

Met Huijie and Jolene for Sushi Tei and we went to Laduree after!
Didn't want to buy at first but I caved in.
I can never resist macarons.

Hello you gorgeous little macarons!

At $3.80 per pop, they are pretty pricey.
But they taste so good and I can't wait to sink my teeth into them again soon!
My favourites are Rose and Salted Caramel!

Canele macarons can step aside, hahaha.


By the way, I recently realised that I have no comment box function on my blog!
So genius Yoko got to work and tadahhhhhhhh,
you can now comment below and ask me whatever questions you want!
:)

I know some of you have been asking me questions on my Instagram but sometimes I get too many notifications at one go and I might miss them out.
This is a better way for me to interact with you girls!

There is also an app for me to reply my comments on the go,
so drop me a comment about anything you like!
Will try my best to reply them as soon as I see them.

Lots of love from me to you for the week ahead!
FIGHTING!
