Season of Charms.

Helloooooos!
Some of you have been requesting for me to blog about the upcoming pieces tonight...
And since I have not had the chance to wear these pretty pieces out yet,
I took some photos before I left home today just to blog about them!
;)

Actually I wore the Rainbow Glitz Fishtail Dress to a wedding last month,
but somehow I accidentally deleted the photos.
Woe is me.

Side by side comparison!
Miss Selfridge on the left and TTR's on the right!
:)

I was quite impressed by the factory because the embellishments were super similar!!
And I had to pay like $160+ for the Miss Selfridge piece.
But... Just like the Miss Selfridge piece, some parts of the embellishment were loose.
And if you accidentally tug on it, some beads will come off.
(I know because that was what exactly happened to me when I wore the MS piece!)

So we decided to embark on the thoroughly arduous journey of resewing the loose parts to make sure they are firm enough to withstand washing and wearing.
Pricked my finger several times while sewing them somemore, damn noob.
Took us a few days (and nights) to complete them but it's worth it!
At least you'll feel safe to wear it out without all the loose parts!

And that's what I've been busy with for the past few days,
being a part time seamstress.
Hahaha.

Love how running TTR forces me to pick up random life skills which I wouldn't have otherwise.
Like sewing...
And photography.




Love it so much!!
Kept it in white because I already have the MS version in black.
Even if you don't have any glitzy events to wear this too,
it would be really nice for CNY too!

Hokay, enough promoting this dress.
I may be slightly biased because we had to spend so much time perfecting it.
But you can see for yourself how gorgeous it is too!
:D


And the Royale Chiffon Maxi Dress!
White again, hahaha.
I kept this in Cherry Pink as well and I wore it earlier this year for a friend's wedding luncheon.
I'm standing at 161cm and the length is just right for me even with no heels.

Love how maxi dresses magically make me feel feminine and graceful (even though I'm none of the above, HAHA).

Another part which I love about the dress.
You can either wear it with a keyhole like the photos above,
or wear it without the keyhole.




It looks nicer with a necklace if you wear it without the keyhole,
but that's just my opinion!
;)


And the Tweed Jacket in Beige Nude for lunch with the TTR girls!


Organised this Post-Flea Thank You/Christmas Lunch at Marche this week...
But Sophie, Mel and Dx couldn't make it.
We'll do another round of lunch some other day to make up, okay??
:)
















A FINALLY decent group photo after several failed tries from passer-bys.
Hahaha.
Feel so lucky to have these girls!!
And those who are not present as well, heh.


If you're still deciding if you should get anything from the launch tonight,
I hope our FB promotion helps you decide.
:p
Because we're giving 20% off your total bill if you purchase 2 pieces and above!
Buy first, worry later!
My shopaholic mantra.

And to end off this blog entry,
here's sharing some of my favourite photos from the LookBook shoot which we did for this collection!































Sorry for spamming!
But it's one of the times when I'm secretly proud to be the photographer behind the photos.
Hehehe.

Update again soon!
Recently did something to my hair and I'll share it on my blog cos I really love the results!
:)

Joyous.

Starting to hear Christmas carols wherever I go and it's been putting a joyous spin on my mood.
:)
Haven't been doing anything or going anywhere blog worthy lately.
But rather enjoying myself because I've been doing things that I love,
random meetups with friends whom I have not caught up with in a long while,
hit the library and brought home an armful of reads,
spending time at home pigging out on my favourite snacks and snuggling up with my favourite fluff.

Because that's what life is about,
doing the things you love.


So... 
Here are random OTDs from random days this week (and last!).


Mistletoe Knit Pullover (because the colours remind me of Christmas!) with one of our shorts launched back in Col 104.
Still wearing the shorts very often now because it's so basic and versatile, hehe.
What say you if we bring this back?

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Mistletoe Knit Pullover.
Hehehe.
Love it so much I kept both colours that it came in!
Grab yours from the launch tonight!


Last Wednesday's outfit to meet my JC friends for dinner!
I don't know what made me put on jeans, must be the rainy weather.


And yes!
We did the Mythic Drop Shoulder Top in lace.
Hehehe.
So looking forward to launch this piece!
And no prizes if you guessed that we kept all colours for this piece (AGAIN).


What I wore to work on one of the days this week.
Tuesday I think?
And everyone was asking if I was going to head out after work...
Which I was not.

So you can probably tell that I haven't been making the effort to dress up nicely for work in a while.
;p




Really wanted to wear my Gold Glitter Knit out so I prayed hard for a rainy day.
And got my wish! :)
Wore it exactly how I styled it during the photoshoot.
Hahaha.

Both Pixie Dust Skirt and Suede Front Square Bag are upcoming!


I think you couldn't really tell from the launch photos,
but the gold threads are so shimmery and pretty in real life!

And finally,
this Friday's casual outfit!
If you've seen our previews,
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that both pieces will be up on www.thetinselrack.com tonight!
;)




Inserting 2 irrelevant photos of my Friday night dinner with Thom at Punggol Nasi Lemak.
Hahaha.
We tried the famous orh lua from the stall beside and it was SO. DAMN. GOOD.
Can't wait for Thom to finish his exams so that we can go back again!


Here's an official HELLO to December!
Hehehe.
Cannot believe we're approaching the end of 2012 already.
I've had the most fantastic year on all counts.

AND!
TTR turns 3 this December (gosh, how time flies!)...
So we've prepared some treats for you!



What better reason than those above to shop at www.thetinselrack.com right now!
Hehehe.
X3 happy points sound tempting enough to me!
And weekful of promotion codes is also quite !!!!!!, no?
If you're lucky enough, you might also be one of our winners for the $30 TTR giftcards!

Happy December!
And Happy Birthday to my baby TTR!
♥♥♥

I'm back!

Back with photos of the upcoming outfits for Sunday's launch! 
Wore my favourites from the launch out last week but haven't had the time to post them up.


Rainy weekend.

Paired the Toyland Gold Buttons Skirt in Brick with a random white embroidery top.
Changed my mind in the end and wore my favourite cream knit instead because I didn't want to freeze to death.
I love knits at this time of the year!
Psst, which means you'll soon be seeing a lot of them on TTR!
;)


Her signature 'Bring me out!' face.
Hehe.
Cute max!


Sour Sally, our favourite whenever we visit town!








And a full outfit photo to end the day!
Love mindless walks amidst the crowd in town.

Realise that I'm shopping lesser and lesser nowadays.
Haven't stepped into Topshop for ages.


On another random day,
supermarket shopping!!!
:D

One of my favourite things to do.
Shopping for snacks!
Cannot live without snacks,
I especially love to munch on things when I'm doing work.
FAT.


Wore the Miniature Collar Top in Cream with an upcoming pair of floral shorts.
:))






Atas supermarkets have digital price displays.






Bought these!
Was so happy to spot these Mini Stroopwafels because I didn't know they can be found in Singapore.
:D


Have you tried these before?
Melt in your mouth fruit candies!
:)))
Used to love these when I was young.






Thom at his favourite section of the supermarket, nuts!
I can never understand why he likes eating nuts so much.




AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Hahahaha.
Heading to the Sentosa halloween event later with my TTR girlies.
Can't wait even though I know that I'm gonna be screaming my head off the entire time.

Will update again soon!!
:D

And because I haven't been logging into my formspring for the past few days,
do give me some time to reply to your questions if you've left any!
