X'mas definitely came early this year! My present from Ezra which I'm over the moon & maybe even Mars about. Shopbop is having a crazy wonderful sale that should not be missed, especially when you live in the States, considering you have free ground shipping. I am so very jealous. So anways this Elizabeth&James shrug/cardigan/or whatever you call it was priced at US$418 and the price went down to US$125... I immediately started having fits and called Ezra straight away to tell him of my find. I was so happy when he said he was going to get it for me!
And lucky lucky me, I got the last one in CEMENT GREY colour! Can't wait for it to arrive. Look how pretty the collar trimmings are, just like birds' feathers. Sweet...
So today I woke up early to head to the Fresh Market to get ingredients for pasta that I was helping Ezra make for a party he attended this evening. Although, I feel so out of place there, considering my age and what I wore ( tee & vintage dress, belt), I love going to the market. It's so much better than the super market in terms of the price, freshness and people. Most of the regular stores that my mum and I visit know me quite well, which makes me feel really welcomed especially when they make conversation.
Anyways here's what I was wearing when I went to meet Jasmine & Charlotte after.
Nothing fancy. Embracing the slightly cooler weather, I busted out my mum's vintage jacket. Can I just say... let's bring back ballet flats... it's so sad so few people wear them anymore... Anyways, this is the bag I had sewn, with tassel trimmings and silver studs. The studding was such a pain in the ass cause everything had to be straight rows and as you can see, one has unfortunately dropped off. Fortunately for extras lying around my room. =)*******
PRESENTING...
the Chanel clutch I must get for myself IN THIS LIFETIME, or better yet in the next 5 years or so. I can't get over it... it's heaven made of leather.
HAPPY WEEK AHEAD!
Sings... FREEDOM... FREEDOM... *cuts to: scene from Nanny Diaries where Alicia Keys is driving while Scarlett Johansson is waving her hands like a mad woman in their convertible* And I'm back! I'm sorry I've been singing that song the whole day. Today I sent all my work to the designer in China so I can put the sleepless nights of candy/layout filled nightmares behind me... and focus on breathing. I can't wait to laze in bed reading Eleven Minutes and doing a bit of Sudoku. As I feel guilty for blogging so little... I'm doing a double post, one on fashion and one on my current obsession of home decor. Enjoy!
Random photos at the candy factory in China.

While most Singaporean women prefer STYLE magazine, I'm an avid fan of L'Officiel. The only issue I have with the magazine is it's many pages filled with luxury watches. I like luxury watches, but I don't understand what the intrigue behind it. My parents are willing to spend thousands of dollars on a watch and although yes, they are gorgeous... it still just baffles me! Anyways... here's an photo spread from their latest issue which I love love love.

PINK is the IT colour for spring! As wearing a pink dress is kind of an overkill for me, accenting any black and white outfit with fuschia will be my thing next year! =D
And I'm probably one of the last people to know about her, but mydailystyle is totally hawt! The way she dresses so inspirational! And she's pregnant...(like zomg, can you even tell) How does she do it?! 
I know I've been lacking in my own daily style photos. Unfortunately, I've developed the typical stay-home designer syndrome, which is... obviously to stay home and never really see the light of city... But now that the major project is done, out and about I go... Happy weekend everyone!
Okay, be honest. on a scale of 1-10, how silly would I look carrying this Stella McCartney for LeSportsac deer head backpack. I mean cute idea, but doesn't it kinda creep you out. Plus, what are u going to put in there? An actual deer head?! -___-"
It's so hard to find a nice yet practical yet not too grungy backpack nowadays.Back in the hay day, I used to be absolutely obsessed with finding the nicest backpack in Secondary School... Anyone remember Mambo bags that were everywhere? Why the sudden obsession again? Because Charlotte and I are going back into the business of Rollerblading and carrying any of my current bags is going to make me look abit too out of place at the beach. Plus, call me fussy but I don't want sand in my Louis Vuitton. And so the "hunt" continues...
Actually, I take that back, please vamoose moose! I was having supper with the girls this evening and suddenly, the wind picked up and in a second, it was heavy downpour with winds howling, thus everyone and everything got wet. I was already feeling very much less than glamorous, but at least we did have a good laugh.
Renovation stuff has been killing me because contractors are such sneaky icky people to work with and my aunt's catalogue job has been less than fun of late cause it was way more work than I expected. Plus, she carried the deadline forward. I am so screwed! But whatever hardworking molecules in my brain and body must prevail! YARGHS!
Yup, another one of my creations... I'm having so much fun cutting acrylic. It was suppose to be a necklace but I forgot to cut a whole at the top. Silly Silly Me!!

Anyways, random shoeage. Why are pretty things so expensive?! Waiting for X'mas sale which shouldn't be too long coming... Anyone else in Singapore going to buy stuff from ASOS, please holah. I need these pair of shoes which I have nicknamed BOomBooMs!
A crown fit for a wannabe princess... Made from acrylic, double-sided blue velvet and Swarovski crystals, presenting one of my latest creations following an almost fatal heart attack when I saw how expensive it was on Tatty Devine. Although I love the silver, me is looking to make a gold one! Anyone interested in making one for her royal self , please 'bling bling' me (iatetypography@gmail.com)!
Bad me! It's been awhile since I got my bow belt from Front Row which is probably about a month ago when I met Melly & Larissa, yet I haven't taken the time to blog about it. It's by Fly Now which I have never heart of but it's soo pretty and I have the other two ladies agreeing with me. At first when I saw it, I thought it was a clutch (which would have be perfect too... this is cause it was lined with a zipper), but was equally happy to know it was a belt! =) Now the difficult part is finding more stuff to pair it up with! 
HAPPY WEEKEND LOVES!!!!!!
