Down The Drain

I did a very bad thing...I accidently deleted a month worth of posts because I was trying to edit all the post labels. 

Thanks to Google and their Cached feature I was able to recover most of them though. 

I had to repost everything one by one BUT the comments are gone forever :( 

I'm sorry LittleMissH and everyone who reads our blog!!!!

Malacca, Malaysia

So I finally crossed the border and went to Malaysia! Early last year, a friend of mine was bewildered by the thought of me being in Singapore 4 times a year for the last 3 years but never setting foot in Malaysia. (I have a bad habit of NOT travelling to nearby places. I always think I have all the opportunity to visit them...so I end up never visiting at all! Like, omg, I still can't believe I haven't been to Glasgow. hahaha.)

Here are some snapshots of the outfits I wore in our weekend getaway in Malacca:

Day1:dress: SM
shoes: charles and keith
earrings: jewelmer
bangles: greenhills and new look

The face to avoid while travelling: Looking like lost tourist!

Day2:

dress: topshop
shoes: charles and keith
sunglasses: i bought them in Malaysia for 5 Ringgit! (1.50 US)

My worst dream ever- being attacked by a giant bird.
I absolutely hate birds.
I think they harbor ill feelings against me too.
A pigeon once defacated on my hair when I was in Florence.
No, I did not provoke it.
I was just minding my own business when he decided to conduct his business on ME.

Merry Christmas In Manila

I was really excited when I got the invite to my friends' Christmas party in Manila. For one, I got it during exam week so it was my ray of sunshine during those grim days in the library. Secondly, Cesca's house is just phenomenal and I can't imagine anyone having a lousy time in such a wonderful place. Thirdly, I went to their Christmas party last year and just had the most amazing time!

This year's party was just as fabulous. Sure, I kinda freaked out when I found out that it was happening on the same night I fly into Manila (I basically went from the airport to her house!) AND that any black attire was STRICTLY prohibited. But I had such a grand time...it didn't matter that I was completely exhausted because of jetlag or that I kinda felt semi-uncomfy in my pink outfit! hahaha

The Arrivas(Iza and Klar): two of my best friends looking ravishing as usual

Oh Monica! One of my nearest and dearest. We spent a crazy night on our way home the day after! I think my entire clan shocked her when she stayed for dinner in my house :))

Janna is probably the sweetest person I know in this world. She is also Little Miss Dress Up's number one fan after Rosanna's family and my family! I have missed you so, Janna Marie My Love. And check out her ferosha shoes. I love them.

The Arrivas with our lovely host Cesca. Thanks a billion for such a marvelous night. I had so much fun!!!

:D

Bustier: from Scotland
Skirt: Culte Femme
Shoes: Zara
Clutch: Moss
Cuff: Jul Dizon

I finally wore my beloved cuff! Last summer, award winning designer Ginny Dizon sketched a couple of Blackamoor designs for me and I finally settled on this because I just love how the breastplate looks like a giant fan from afar. I've waited for months to see this beauty (their craftsman fell ill) and it was so worth the wait.

The cuff is set in silver with some of the details plated in yellow gold and black gold. My mom donated a loose South Sea pearl from Jewelmer for the turban and the rim is lined with white sapphires. The breastplate has seed pearls and white sapphires scattered all around the yellow gold plated silver leaves. The cuff itself is made out of the most beautiful shade of dark purple stingray skin. I love it so much. I've even christened him with the name 'Poo-bah'!

Thank you so so much, Ginny! Everyone has been complementing your work. It's truly an art piece that I will love and cherish for years to come :D

Because We Just Wanted To Share The Christmas Spirit

 

Merry Christmas!!! Hope you guys got everything from your wish lists!

The Comeback Kid

After thousands of miles and icky airplane food...guess who's back in town (for 3 days) ?!? 

Little Miss H!

We spent pretty much an entire afternoon parked on the Healthy Option's couch treating it as if it were our own private lounge. But when we DID get off our lazy butts we...


bumped into oh so stylish people (like Bea)


Meet our gorgeous friend, Monique

ate too much (in both Pepper Lunch AND then Cibo)


and goofed around inside dressing rooms

The Same Game

(TheSart, StockholmStreetStyle)

It seems that everyone around the blogsphere seems to be experiencing the lovely (?) fall weather. I envy everyone who gets to get all wrapped up in coocoon coats and oversized scarves. I can only dream about stepping out wearing a fabulous fur hat. But no, since I live in a country where its pretty much summer all year round, I would have to settle for the next best thing -- our fake-cold December weather. 

Me: thrifted grey sweater, Zara jeans, Juan shoes, vintage Roberta Di Camerino bag

My sister: Mimi sweater, H&M jeans, Gucci bag

Lately, there's been a cool breeze so I've been taking advantage of it by wearing sweaters and jackets. I guess yesterday, my older sister had the exact same idea. I picked her up in her house only to see her wearing pretty much the same thing! From our grey sweaters down to our matching red pedicures and wedges, it just shows you that we really are sisters.

In Dire Need of A New Camera

1- Top: Thrifted, Belt: Vintage, Skirt: Vintage, Shoes: Pura Lopez, Earrings: Jul Dizon
2- Top: H&M, Skirt: vintage, Belt: New Look, Sunglasses: Fendi, Bag: I forget, Shoes: Carvela x Kurt Geiger

My silver accessories : Snake bracelet - FollieFollie : 'Balls bracelet'- Gaea Crafts : Rhinestone in silverplated metal: Claire's Australia

These are some of the outfits I wore this week. I hope you guys get a good idea what they look like despite the very poor quality of these pictures that failed to capture the draping of my purple cardi, the folds on my white top, the stitching of my blue skirt and like everything else that has to do with the details of the clothes. I really need a new camera. The Sony Cybershot 5.1 I'm currently using takes the worst photos so I'm thinking of getting a new one when I get to Singapore...unless someone decides to give it to me as a gift. :D haha. Hiiinnntt.

To all you fashion bloggers out there, what camera would you recommend? Nothing too complicated please. I am very incompetent when it comes to technology. Srsly, I just found out recently that you can pause/play using the spacebar in the Macbook. And I've had mine for 4 years. oh dear, im such a grandma.
