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!
www.dayre.me/joycesayshello
I'll be updating some of my favourite buys from Korea there very soon!

Girlfriends.

Explored 2 new foodie places with my girlfriends this week! :)

So I'm here blogging, trying to update this space with whatever details I can remember before they disappear into the black bottomless hole of my memory.

Heh.

Wore the upcoming Peace and Love Stitched Bustier!
Heheh if you've gotten our previous colours/print,
you would have known how awesome the cutting is.
This time we brought it back in this season's hottest print,
STRIPES.
:D :D :D

Paired with Toyland Gold Buttons Skirt in White from last year's launch.
Also making a comeback VERY SOON in a new material (and more colours YAY!).


With HJ, my foodie/shopping buddy!
:)))
And she's wearing the overalls in navy, whoopee!
Love it when my friends wear TTR.




Tried the highly raved (appeared countless times on my Instagram feed too!) Shiok Maki from Koh Grill and Sushi Bar!

 
Also ordered one of their bento sets to try.
Which tasted surprisingly good!
:)
The teriyaki salmon was really crisp and it has this slight chao ta taste which I really liked!
Definitely one of the nicer ones I've had so far!






The recently shot to fame Shiok Maki!
Unfortunately though, I thought it was only alright.
The first few bites were good but after that the mayo really got to me.

Could be because we had high expectations of it since everyone's going on about how shiok it is.
Hahaha.
Final verdict?
I don't think I'll head back specially just for this!

Maybe I'll be back for the salmon bento set instead, hehe.

My best tai tai friend!

Hahaha I say that because we always meet at high tea timings...

Weekdays 3pm.

Sorry Miss Selfridge,
I love your dressing rooms too much.
HAHAHA.

Anyway, I just realised I was in monochrome outfits for 2 days this week!
Which happens to fit TTR's outfit contest theme.
Hehe.
Dig out all your black and whites and wear them out!
Remember to hashtag #ttrootd!

There you go, my second monochrome outfit this week.
;)
Daisy top launching this weekend!
Comes in black base and white daisies too!

I hardly do similar colours for both top and bottom,
but I thought this white on white combination looks really nice somehow.
#selfpraisemuch

Painted my toes nude just to match my new shoes.

SUPER LOVE.

:)

My two velly cute friends whom I know (surprise surprise) through social media!
Hehehe.
And it's super amazing that we can all get along so well.
Like peanut butter and jelly.
Like chocolate chips and cookie.
Like butter and sugar.

I bet you know that I'm hungry right now, hahaha.

But anyway, this dinner was so random and impromptu and I don't really know how to explain how this group came about so I shall not try.
 Just look at the food!









We ordered the mushroom soup, poulet roti, potato and corn gratin, braised duck confit and sauteed wild mushrooms with poached egg!

I don't know the exact names and I'm feeling quite sleepy now so I'm not bothering to google for them.
Anyway, I thought all the dishes we ordered were quite delicious except for the poulet roti!
Which was supposed to be their signature dish...
So go figure.

If I had to pick favourites, it would be the braised duck confit and the sauteed mushrooms!
:)
So give them a try when you head to Poulet next time!

Food photography credits to Jazreel...
Because I was busy wolfing down the food once they arrived on the table!

 
Ate like I haven't eaten in days.
LOL.
And got caught on camera!!




Got the tiramisu to share because Jazreel recommended it!
:)
Loved it but didn't take too many mouths of it because I was feeling like a balloon about to burst by then.




Yina came over to join us after her salon appointment.
She didn't just pop out from nowhere, in case you're wondering why she's suddenly in pictures.
Hahaha.

Coffee and gossip catching up on life at Coffee Bean!

:)

Life's good with friends around. 

And I am really grateful that my friends still ask me out no matter how busy I am!

Sometimes I get so caught up in work that I don't see any friend of mine in months...

Which is unhealthy!

Love all my friends!

Please ask me out more often, heheh.

Both off shoulder top and floral skorts coming up this Sunday!
HEHE.
Just how exciting is this Sunday gonna be, you tell me!
:)
I kept so many pieces I don't even want to keep count already.


If she's not my sister,
she would have been my best best BEST friend in this whole wide world.
Swear no one knows me better than she and Thom.
I'm so lucky to have them both.
:')

Have a good weekend, y'all!
