Christmas, Before and After.

I thought I'll squeeze in some time amidst the packing of my luggage (going on a mini vacation tomorrow YAY!) to update this space.

I managed to sell over 300 pieces of clothes at my pre-loved booth the past 2 days thanks to all of you who came down to support!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

♥

I'm so so so grateful to all of you.

I hope you had fun at the flea!

It was one of the best fleas that I have been to,

and the BEST flea that I have participated in because it's organised by my very good friend Aloy!

And thanks to my very selfless sisters and Thom who helped me tend the booth the entire day without a single grumble.

LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

:')

Outfit of the day:
Black top upcoming on TTR,
plaid skirt from Topshop,
heels from Melissa X Pedro Lourenco
bag from Sandy Trove

Instant love once I laid eyes on this top,
and so I got it manufactured for TTR!
This will look so good with fitting skirts, pants and denim shorts.
Look out for it!

And there's just something about red checks which spells Christmas perfectly.

Back to painting my nails on a regular basis cos I'm taking a break from gelish nails.
:)
This polish is called Starry Night,
how apt!













Cute Christmas cupcakes!
A surprise delivery from the extremely sweet and thoughtful owner of My Sister Bakes.
I previously did an advert for her during my birthday,
had no idea that she would send these cupcakes over when she popped by to collect her TTR purchases!
♥
Thank you Esther!!!

These were gone in a minute after I was done with the mini photo taking session.
HEH.

Outfit of the day:
Lyla Top in White upcoming on TTR,
denim midi from Topshop,
bag from Bricks and Bolsas,
heels from Jeffrey Campbell

This is hands down my favourite outfit of the year!
I just can't get over how awesome my proportion looks in this outfit set.
The ruffles of the top coupled with the skirt gives the illusion of a smaller waist and way longer legs.

Think you're gonna see me more in this kind of outfit combinations in future!
:)

Favourite top at the moment because it can be worn 3 ways.
Already wore out white and wine red,
bringing navy for my vacation!
:))))

We're launching this really soon on TTR!


Shiny shoes which looks 100 X prettier in real life

Christmas Eve tea time at Restore cafe.
We've been here for a lookbook shoot previously but you know how shoots go,
we didn't have time enjoy their food properly.
Went back and we really love the desserts there!
Both the waffles and the dark chocolate tart are SO NICE.

I've actually updated most of these on my Dayre, but with less photos.
Ashamed to say that I am now updating more diligently on Dayre,
simply because I can snap photos on the go and post immediately.
Follow me on Dayre for faster updates!
:)

I won't be bringing my laptop on holiday but I will post my happenings on Dayre if I manage to get the unlimited 3G card!
Which I hope with all my might that there is...
Because I'm heading to Yogyakarta tomorrow.


Have a fantastic New Year celebration,
I'm going to countdown overseas so I'm sending my love in advance!

Sundays with you.

Blogging about last Sunday because I was cooped up at home for the entire weekend that just passed.
Sometimes it feels good too,
to just stay at home and do nothing.

Outfit of the day:
Romper upcoming on TTR,
white chunky heels from Jeffrey Campbell,
shades from Bangkok,
bag from Bangkok,
white floppy hat from Accessorize

I surprised myself by keeping this bright watermelon shade of pink for this romper when there are other colours of this romper which are more "me".
But I thought that my wardrobe needed some outstanding pieces like this,
so I kept it.
And surprisingly (again),
I love this colour.

Of course I kept my favourite colour (WHITE!) for this romper too.
But I thought that pink makes a really lovely change.


And nope, I did not wear that hat along for brunch.
People would have probably thought that I'm crazy if I were to do that.
Maybe if I were overseas, then yes.


Brunch at Loysel's Toy!
Thom has been bugging me to go with him like, forever.









Latte for Thom and iced mocha for me.
Their coffee was really strong stuff though,
kept me awake till 5am that night.








LOOK AT THAT RICH, YELLOW, RUNNY YOLK.
Slurps.



The eggs benny which I ordered was love.
I really liked that it came with bacon, ham and smoked salmon instead of just plain ol' ham.
Poached eggs were done perfectly too,
as you can see from the photo where I poked it open and told Thom to "hurry baby take photo for me!!".

The breakfast platter which Thom ordered was mediocre at best.
Skip that if you're heading there!




Would definitely return for their awesome possum eggs benny!
The atmosphere was pretty nice for a quiet Sunday brunch as well.


Bicycles for rental,
if you want to do some post-brunch exercise.
Loysel's Toy is near Kallang River,
so you can explore the area on bicycle if you rent one from Loysel's Toy.

Dinner was at Poulet.
As usual, I went for the Braised De Canard and it was good.
I always prefer duck to chicken for some reason.
Thom regretted his order then moment it was served,
the chicken looks really pale in real life and I kept saying that it's "sick people food".
It tasted really bland as well.

I think Thom just had bad luck with ordering food that day in general.
Hahaha.

I liked that there was no starch in their main dishes.
Felt only 60% full after finishing what we ordered.
:)

Favourite dish goes to the sauteed wild mushroom with poached egg!
Never fails me whenever I dine at Poulet.
Or I might just be biased because I really really really love mushrooms.


Sunday has to be my favourite day of the week.
Thom and I usually spent Sunday enjoying each other's company,
checking out new food places,
catching the latest movies on screens.

Already looking forward to this coming Sunday!


And lastly,
sharing with you about my new shoes/bags/accessories sponsor,
INFINITE PIXIE!
(They also have a gif banner on the side of my blog now because they are one of my regular sponsors!)


I'm super excited to pick out my sponsored items every month because their range of products are so awesome!

The owner of Infinite Pixie has really superb taste in whatever she puts up on the site.
I am always in a happy dilemma of not knowing which items I should pick when I browse through their sites.
I definitely gravitate towards picking shoes though,
since I'm such a shoe hoarder.

So,
when I laid my eyes on this gorgeous pair of Cinderella glass heels,
I KNEW I HAD TO OWN THIS.




Mad mad love because this magical pair of heels extends and makes my legs look wayyyy longer than they do!
Super play cheat way to look as if you have long legs!
And I don't have to rack my brains on how to match this pair with my outfits at all.
Transparent heels can match with everything and anything.

It's really comfortable to walk in as well.
Plus points!













Outfit of the day:
Issey Pleated Spag Top in Navy from TTR,
floral fishtail skort from Ferris,
Transparent heels from Infinite Pixie

I don't have a nice body proportion because I've rather short legs compared to my torso...
But with a high waisted bottom and a smart choice of heels,
I can look as if I have long enviable legs too!


I just picked out my items for December from Spree 92!
;)
Can't wait to receive them!

For your information,
Infinite Pixie opens their sprees on a weekly basis with a minimum of 20 new designs.
And usually, their sprees open on Thursdays and closes on Tuesdays!
Once the spree closes,
your item(s) will take only 7-10 working days to reach Singapore.
The owner is also extremely efficient in mailing out the spree items,
so you'll definitely receive your items sooner than other sprees out there which take at least 3-4 weeks to deliver your items.



Here're my picks from their latest spree.
Can't wait to receive my parcel already!
Can you feel my excitement?
;)


Love shoes so much but I really got to cut down on getting them because my house is running out of space to store them!
Out of 10 pairs of shoes in my house, 8 pairs belong to me.
I really need a walk-in shoe wardrobe for my future home.
(And I need to make sure Thom reads this blog post, especially this part.)


Bye for now.
And follow me on Dayre if you have not!

I'll be updating some of my favourite buys from Korea there very soon!
