Tea Break.

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.

Love Life Live.

HELLO EVERYONE!!!
I've had one of the busiest weeks of my life this week...
But anyway, I shall skip the details and not bore you with what I did.

Remember I held a giveaway on my blog 2 weeks ago for a Benefit make up set?
Just to update about the aftermath of the giveaway...
I've already picked the winner for the Benefit set!

But I really wanted to take some time to read through each and every email and pick out more winners because I've received so many long and sincere and lovely emails!
And I feel bad that I only could pick one winner.

So I ended up getting extra stuff to giveaway so that I could send my love to some other readers too!
They're not as expensive as Benefit but I hope those who receive the extra gifts will like them!

As of now, I still have 1/3 of the emails to go through!
HAHAH.
I consider myself a fast reader but I wanted to type out a personal reply to those I contacted to send gifts to.
So I kinda took quite long.
;(

I couldn't possibly reply to everyone though!
So sorry if you sent an email but didn't get a reply from me. 
I promise I really did go through every single email I received and am thankful for each of you from the bottom-most of my heart.
:')

I feel super happy (and kind of surprised?) that some of my readers have been following my blog for so long!
All the way since livejournal days and before I even started TTR.
That seems like ages ago!
And thank you all so much, because my blog is just a really humble one recording my daily life, it's not even glamourous or exceptionally interesting or whatsoever and I don't think it deserves such following.

From the suggestions, 
many of you asked me to continue with whatever I'm blogging but include more beauty related posts like make up tutorials/nail art tutorials and baking adventures.
Some of you also asked me to do a monthly favourites post WHICH I WILL TRY MY BEST TO WORK TOWARDS...
But forgive me when sometimes time does not permit, hahaha.

I think the giveaway is a pretty interesting experience because I have not really interacted with many of my readers (except those who shop with TTR and talks to me on IG/twitter) before.
And it makes me realise some of my own blogging quirks which I would not have realised.
Such as...
I tend to rant/go on about my day/week before starting each post proper.
HAHAHA.
Which on hindsight, really, I do.
Just like in this post.

I'm sorry for blabbering on and on, 
am just feeling very grateful for all my awesome readers who took time to email me!
:)
Will think of another giveaway to do again soon!!

I'm quite into shades lately.
Hehe.
Especially on days when I don't have time to do nice eye makeup.

Pretty neckline details on my Carousel Love Top!
It saved me the effort of having to match a necklace.

So I thought I would decorate my fingers instead! ;)

Thank you Jazreel for the Druzy Rings!!!
:)))
They look X100000 prettier in real life because of the tiny iridescent sparkles that shows in the sun or under the light!

I love my navy piece because it makes my fingers looks fairer in contrast.
Hehe.
I bought the green jewel ring from BKK, in case you want to know.

And some background information,
the Druzy ring is handmade from scratch by Jazreel, who is not only my good friend but a very talented owner of Sensibar!
(Sensibar is one of my new sponsors which you can find on the left side of my blog under my sponsor column!)
Click on the Sensibar square to go to her website!
I haven't had the chance to formally introduce this awesome little jewellery haven on my blog,
but I already own many pieces of Sensibar jewellery!
;)

Okay back to the ring.
Jazreel had the Druzy stone (HAHA I assume it's called that because she told me this is a Druzy ring?!) imported all the way from Brazil,
and specially polished and file every stone to fit into the ring bezel!
Dedicated right!

It comes in the form of earrings as well,
which I regretfully had to miss out on since my ear holes were closed.

Had quite an awesome lunch at Shokudo with Sissy before work.
:)
It's one of my favourite affordable restaurants actually!
I especially love their vongole soup udon, hotate mentaiko aglio olio pasta and the unagi mushroom cheese pizza (which we ordered that day)!
And I always order their iced apple vinegar drink to go with my meals because it tastes super refreshing!

(I visit the Cineleisure outlet more often though!)

Bought Twelve Cupcakes for the office,
(yeppp we're super biased towards certain flavours as you can see!)
and received a pleasant surprise discount from the staff who happened to be a TTR customer!
:))))
And that made my day!

Ending with a photo of my new favourite necklace.
The Tree of Life necklace!
It's actually named by me...
HAHAHA.

I was asking Jazreel what she wants to call it and I told her I'll call it The Tree of Life necklace for the time being until she tells me a name.
And she told me I've successfully named it.
So, well done to me!

Love it for it's simplicity.
Sometimes, simple things are the best.
:)

If I'm not wrong,
both the Druzy Ring and The Tree of Life necklace will be launched at the end of April.
Go bug Jazreel about it if you don't see it on Sensibar by then!

Have a great Saturday!!
:)
Will blog about more outfits tomorrow before the launch!
