Cupcakes!

*Scheduled this post so that my blog doesn't look sad while I'm away!
I'm actually not in Singapore right now.


What a bad time to get sick.

I can practically the onset of a fever...

My bones feel aching and right now I feel absolutely chilly even though I'm already in long pants and a knit top. 

To make things worse...

My work trip is due now and I have a flight to catch at 10pm later.

Hopefully I'll make it through this trip fine!

Just a quick update before I fly off,

I've been really well taken care of by my sponsors (both current and new) for the past few days and I genuinely am super thankful for them.

Outfit of the day:
Upcoming lasercut top on TTR which I absolutely love and cannot wait to launch,
shorts from Topshop,
shoes from Bershka,
bag sponsored by Bricks and Bolsas.




I just have to say this...
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE BAG FROM B&B SO FAR!!!
It was on preorder so I had to wait a couple of weeks for it,
and throughout I was pretty anxious because I cannot wait to lay my hands on it.

Love how slouchy yet roomy the bag is!
And the crinkled textured leather plus the studs at the bottom are just to die for.
I can happily abandon all my bags and use this everyday now.
HEHE.

And the best news for you...
Wanting ordered in extra pieces along with my piece so this design is now an INSTOCK!
Don't have to wait like a kanchiong spider like me.
No need to thank me!
:p

Here's the link for the bag:
SHOP AWESOME BAG

A super worthy investment if you're looking for a versatile black bag with a bit of edge!




SO PRETTYYYYYYY!




Had my nails done at Milly's a few days ago!
I'm sure you have heard of Milly's.
They are extremely established as they have been around for 5 years and counting...
And they have outlets at FEP and Bugis respectively!
Which has got to say something about them because as you know,
there are TONS of manicure shops at both FEP and Bugis and it's hard to stand out from the competition especially with all the price slashing and what not amongst all the shops.

From what I observed when I was there,
Milly's staff are all super helpful to all customers!
Be it walk-in customers, or customers who just pop in to enquire about prices.
Had tea break with the Boss (Milly) after my appointment and she told me that she really values customer satisfaction a lot.
Which means you will definitely be a happy customer when you get your nails/lashes/hair extensions done with them!


I really salute them because this was the condition of my nails when I went there.
Short and stubby with dry cuticles.
I normally prefer to keep my nails a bit longer but recently they keep peeling and breaking so I had to snip them off.
;(


Had gel extensions done and I am really amazed by the speed that my manicurist Gina did this.
I'm pretty particular about the shape of my nails and I gotta say I'm really happy with the nice shape Gina gave me!
She's the best.


Guess what design I'm doing!!!
(No prizes if you've already seen them on my IG feed.)








This is what happens when you get your nails done with the expert.
Super adorable cupcake nails!!!
Hehehe.
I didn't want normal cupcakes so I did some research online and found this design with a quirky twist!

JUST LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF DETAILS THAT WENT INTO THE DESIGN.
It is just perfect.

It going to be take super steady hands and a good sense of aesthetics to do this!
And Gina my manicurist did such an awesome job of it.
Heheh.
Plus, she only took about 2 hours to do both my extension and the design.
Which is extremely fast.






Wanted to show you a YSL lipstick (Rogue Volupte Shine #15) which I've gotten recently and love a lot!
Couldn't resist posing with my nails, hahaha.
Just too cute la!

Milly and I are also discussing a collaboration to giveaway complimentary manicures/lash extensions to TTR customers!
I'm pretty hyped up about it because their service is really good and I can't wait for you all to try it yourselves!
:)


Okay dokes,
I gotta leave for the airport now.
Wish me luck and hope that I come back safely in one piece!
♥

By the way,
there will be no TTR launch this Sunday because Sissy and I will be away.
And since we just had 2 sale posts last week,
I thought we would give our team (and also your wallets) a short break!
We're probably launching the new collection during the National Day weekend,
lookbook will be up some time mid of next week!

I love manicures.

While the Sissy is invoicing away,

I thought I should get down to blog an overdue entry, hahaha.

We had so much going on last week that I haven't had much time to sit down properly and do a nice blog post!

We're heading off for a nice little trip next weekend,

so we are settling as many things as we possibly can before we take off!

Anyway,

back to the title of this entry.

Not-so-secret confession:
I love having my nails painted.

I think it beats painting my own nails hands down.
Maybe also due to the fact that I always do a shitty job painting my right hand nails.
Hahaha.
And the fact that I always make splotches and then end up ruining them somehow.

So I was over the moon when Trina sent me an email,
asking if I would like to have my nails sponsored by her.

She's a home manicurist (based in Jurong) and you can check out her work here: http://simplicitynails.blogspot.sg/.



Was so excited a few days before my appointment!
And I enjoyed myself tremendously googling manicure inspirations and sending them to her.
Hahaha.
As you can probably tell,
I'm NOT the kind who asks for the single colour whenever I head out to have my nails done.
Since you're already going to get them done by a professional,
might as well give them a bit of a challenge right?
;)

I got Sissy to accompany me for the manicure not knowing that it would be 3 hour long.
Hahaha.

 
Happy outfit for manicure!
:D :D
Yellow never fails to put me in a good mood.





You can't tell from the pictures...
But I was soooo excited on my way there!


LIKE THIS.
Hahahaha.




My previous gellish nails.
I wanted to do a design this time round which is not as sweet as florals.


The gellish colours which Trina has!
ALL SO PREDDY!
:D


Looking at the gorgeous colour selection!
I didn't have to choose the colours though...


Because the design I sent Trina requires 6 colours in total.
Hahahahah.
Trina said the design I asked for is really a test of her skills,
because she has never done a design with so many colours before.
;)
But still, (as you will see later) she did a really awesome job!


She first helped me soak off my previous gellish design,
trimmed my nails and removed my cuticles!
She did it really meticulously and it was a good first experience because I've never had my cuticles removed before.
And I was told by Trina that if this step isn't done properly,
it could lead to fungal infection.
EWWWWWW.

So, best to get someone qualified to do it for you!

I can haz nice and smooth fingers now!
:D


Work in progress...
My finger nails look like popsicles!

Can you guess what design I'm getting done on my nails yet?


Multi-colour aztec tribal nails!
The nail design which got me my most number of likes so far on Instagram!
;)


And I must say,
I'm really impressed with how meticulous and patient Trina is.
With so many colours and layers,
we had to sit there for 3 full hours before the design can be completed.
She's really nice and chatty though,
so we had an enjoyable 3 hours together, hehe.
(I hope that's the case for her too!)

I'm already brainstorming about my next 'challenge' to Trina!
Cannot wait!
Let me know if you have any ideas for me, hehehe.


You can contact Trina at 8118 5274 if you're keen to book an appointment with her!
And do 'LIKE' her FB page as well,
http://www.facebook.com/SimplicityNails
she regularly updates her designs there!


Love my nails!
I didn't use to think that people will notice how well you maintain your nails,
but they do!

I've been getting compliments on these nails from the most random people,
like cashier girls (when I pay for my stuff),
and my neighbours (when I press the lift buttons).

BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENTS WITH TRINA NOW!!!


Happy me with my nails!
:D


Have a good week ahead y'all!
Can't wait to fly off for my short break this weekend!
Gonna be super awesome!

First set of gelish nails!

Was out and about town a couple of days ago with my best friend to get my nails done!

I've been wanting to try out gelish nails since some of my friends have raved about them.
And I don't regret doing them, heh.

Shokudo for dinner!
Treat from bestie!
:)

She also did gelish nails!
;)
So festive looking and glittery hehehe.


And this is mine!
Light blue base with pink dots.
I wanted something quirky so I went for pink dots instead of the usual white dots.


Pretty best friend with the tub of pineapple tarts,
which I finally got to pass to her!











No photos of me because I look too cui by the end of the day.
:p

And here's my verdict on gelish nails:
AWESOMEEEEEEEE!
Will definitely want to do it again, with more interesting designs next time round.
Also mainly because the nails won't get ruined no matter how klutzy I am.
They dry up really fast with the UV light rays!
Can pack parcels with ease now, hahah.


Here's sharing some OTDs!




Random navy top with silver buttons, jeans from Topshop.
Just felt like wearing jeans that day.


Lace and embroidery top, upcoming on TTR!
;p
Matched it with my favourite floral skirt again.




Outfit for today: Vintage 60's Top, red skirt upcoming on TTR!
:)


Finally got my wanton mee craving satisfied today,
with some Pontian wanton mee.
Hehe.
:)




Bought (sort of) matching gold and silver covers for me and Thom!
;)))
His previous cover was in a really bad state so I thought I'd surprise him with this.




Another photo of my nails because I cannot resist!


Favourite photo of the day. <3

Updates again soon!!
Also, I've disabled my Formspring account because I find it beyond my means (time and energy wise) to handle it properly..
And I think it's really not nice if I answer your questions half heartedly,
then I might as well not at all, no?
:)
If you've asked a question which you would still like to get my opinion on,
you can leave a comment on my blog and I'll answer it as soon as I see it.
Same goes, if you have any questions in future,
they can go into blog comments,
I'll reply them as prompt as I can!

Thanks for following my formspring and I'll definitely let you all know again should I decide to reactivate my account!
