Through my eyes

Missed writing for a week because I couldn’t insert pictures or even type on wordpress on Firefox! On The Boyfriend’s advice, I reinstalled javascript but that didn’t help either, so here I am using Internet explorer… Sigh.

Anyway, a little bit of what I’ve been up to these 2 weeks while The Boyfriend was away!

In Torres Structured Dress for dinner with the uni mates!

First cousin to get married on The Mother’s side! I actually teared watching them serve tea. O.O

A trip to Legoland the day after the wedding with The Boyfriend! Rollercoasters were only mildly exciting; my favourite part was the photo area where there were miniature Asian cities and their landmarks 🙂

Trying out Bikram yoga for the first time; and getting so addicted I’m signing onto a 20 class package!

Restaurant week dinner with the girlies at Equinox while Le Boyfriend was away. Disappointing food 😦

On the shopping front

HVV’s Jossi Asymmetrical Mini in Purple (M) – Not quite a big fan of this piece coz it comes with a very fitted inner lining and I don’t like anything bodycon! Structure in a dress is a different thing altogether like Jaegar Structured Dress and Torres (above). Other than that, I love the colour, very vibrant shade of purple!

HVV – Thrill Basic Slouch Tank, Magenta (S) – I LOVE THIS! Even though its a tad pricey at $25 mailed for the material, the cut is perfect and I love love love the colour! Hehe you can tell by now I’m onto purple 🙂 Would love to get more if they had it in red or pastels!

Addictions

This week, The Boyfriend had to go on a business trip very suddenly and so I was left to my own crevices mid-week. Monday night, I was grouchy and ignored the poor one for a good part of the day, met the uni mates for good ol’ duck rice, bubble tea and bitching 🙂 Tuesday night, we got over the kerfuffle, wanted to go for a nice dinner at Open Door Policy since we’ve both heard so much about it but it was CLOSED! Imagine my disappointment. So we headed to Marmalade Pantry at Fairways Drive; finally got to try their crabmeat linguine but I think CV’s one STILL wins hands and legs down! The most amazing part of that dinner was dessert – granny smith and stem ginger pudding with salted caramel ice cream. I can NEVER say no to anything salted caramel!

So he left on Wednesday and won’t be back till next Friday! Wednesday, I met an old friend – we go way back to primary school – friends like her are so therapeutic for the soul, not to mention 1-for-1 at Baskin Robbins, hehe 😉 Thursday night, the girlfriends and I fine-dined at Equinox for Restaurant week! Food wasn’t impressive but we had fun trying to snap pictures in the dark without a flash (silly me forgot to bring my camera!) and grocery shopping afterwards.

Update on the TV serials: Finished all 3 seasons of Lie To Me, Season 1 & 2 of SUITS! And now I’m onto Criminal Minds. My favourite is still Lie To Me; criminal minds is just really gross and not intriguing at all. Okay I’m rambling.. gonna go catch up with another long-lost friend now and hope The Boyfriend gets the shopping list right! 😀

Fall Ensemble & Konnichiwa; Part IV!

Back again to write! I have been neglecting this space because I have found new love in an a TV series called Lie To Me! Its about how a group of scientists and psychologists crack murder mysteries, solve crimes and family feuds by detecting lies through body language and facial expressions. Went through the entire 1st and 2nd series in less than a week and now I’m left with 4 episodes of season 3! And after this I’ve got SUITS to watch as recommended by the bestie 🙂

Took a break from the drama for a photoshoot and yes! we’ll be launching a brand new collection on Jaynelles tomorrow evening (Tuesday) at 8.30PM! If you haven’t already realised, we’re getting into the frequency of launching once a fortnight, either on Tues/Wed! Customers often ask why we don’t do weekly launches; its because we’re really picky about stock and often accumulate designs so we can do a slightly bigger collection! And also, would you buy from us every week? Hee 🙂

Facebook Preview is up here!

Enough of my rambling, here’s sneaks for Fall Ensemble IV!

Tweed’s right on trend for Fall! Love these Chanel pieces but they’re so obviously Singapore-weather unfriendly! Plus it’d be hard to rock these without those LEGS.

And so here’s our interpretation of the classic tweed dress! 🙂

Such a tailored, clean and elegant look. With pockets in front to boot! J kept white and I kept black 🙂 Good as a casual dress too because of its slight mini length!

Andddd, remember this dress?

The wildly popular Jaegar Structured Dress makes a comeback in grey florals and a much better fit! We got feedback from our customers that the previous version was abit too big at ptp, so we made it about an inch smaller this time 🙂 Fits so much better now! My cousin grabbed a piece when she saw it!

Lilac dreams… Only in the form of a dress. Teehee!

The lilac’s much darker in real, colour swatch will be provided during launch! 🙂

And I can never get over white. Never!

But this is the colour I kept in the end! 😛 Tiffany, perfect for weddings! This is the exact same shade as every girl’s favourite T&Co boxes! My two friends snagged a piece each coz its just so comfortable! Made of a soft eyelet cotton with full lining 🙂

And for the edgy, a black embroidered dress 🙂

Saw it on F21 and almost wanted to buy it but I really hate wearing double layered things. So hot! Model & I both kept a piece each 😛

And a gorgeous floral embossed satin peplum top in Royal Blue & Ivory!

My favourite of the collection, Frances Embroidered Top in Sunshine! Super happy!

Loose fit and lightweight, I LOVE!

Wore it out for a walk with The Boyfriend ystd!

Remember to catch our launch here tomorrow night at 8.30PM!

———————————————–

Now on to Hokkaido!

Popped by a mini seafood market specialising in crabs on our way to a very late lunch! This super friendly crab monger cut extremely generous pieces of crab legs for us to try 🙂

The Father took advantage of this lady’s kindness and got more crab! hahaha

HUGEST oysters I’ve ever had in my life! Saltier than usual though but I attribute that to the freshness!

MORE EATING! This time at a milk farm-cafe thingy! Had cheese toast, which looked better than it tasted, pumpkin patties and MORE ICE CREAM!

Our hotel the following morning, where we had the best breakfast in th whole trip!

Drove down to a nearby lake and met this super friendly couple from Nagoya with their dog, Princess!

And more roadside eating! Steamed corn this time. So sweet I could die of diabetes!

Too happy to finally be able to taste pork after days and days of seafood!

Will be back real soon I promise! Cousin’s wedding this weekend at Goodwood Park Hotel and we’re all mad excited because she’s the first to get married on both my mom’s and dad’s side! 🙂

Jaynelles’ Sneaks + Konnichiwa (Part III)!

First things first! We’ll be launching Fall Ensemble III on Jaynelles this Wednesday at 8.30PM! This collection departs from our norms of sweet dresses and takes on rather edgy style but J and I both love the pieces to death and you’ll see why!

Here’s a snippet of my weekend before I go into my Jaynelles frenzy!
Visited the dog cafe again with The Boyfriend coz we both needed a little cheering up. Sadly the dogs weren’t very welcoming this time round, the mini maltese growled at me when I baby-talked her and wanted to pick her up! And I wanted to cuddle the cocker spaniel so badly BUT it was the time of the month for her 😦

Outfit of the day: Nichols Dress coming up on Jaynelles, Accessorize bag, Topshop gold flats, Fossil watch 🙂

This dress wasn’t love at first sight, but it was OMG I HAVE TO HAVE THIS the moment I tried it on! Shift dresses are so my style, especially when it comes with lightly padded shoulders and metallic details! ANDDD in the perfect length for work & play!

New brown poodle called Sasha! My first time carrying a poodle and she was so so so light and fluffy! And there’s The Boyfriend pimpin’ the chihuahua and the cocker spaniel who crawled into his lap. Awwwwww..

Our model kept a piece for herself 😉

Also coming up, snuggly ombre knit tops in blue and black! 🙂

J kept the blue and I took black!

Studded bodycon dresses in quality stretchy cotton with full inner lining. Amazed at the thickness of this piece, definitely no VPL!

And in white 😀

One for the working ladies! 3/4 sleeved floral dress made of thick cotton polyester blend! This is one of the few white work dresses that aren’t sheer!

Tweed dresses with fitted waists and gently flared skirts! J kept white! Which colour should I keep? 😛

Andddddddddddd for the first time ever, we’ll be launching a printed blazer! We’ve taken a step of courage with this piece because the fit and material is awesome. Its made of a quality linen and fully lined with a cotton-linen material!

Basic dresses with self-tie string belts for I’ve-shopped-all-my-life-and-I-have-nothing-to-wear days!

And a topshop inspired fitted dress in vibrant aztec prints!

Do catch our launch on Wednesday at 8.30PM here! 🙂

Hokkaido Part III!

Finally got around to editing the photos of the animals we spotted along the way as well as the 92739213 scenery pics we took at the lakes!

Hi Bambi!!!

Our guides had told us before we set off to look out for as many animals as we could that day coz we were practically entering a safari of some sort. Yours truly kept a look out for about 10 minutes before falling into deep slumber hahaha. Both Bambi and the big grizzly bear were spotted by The Father.

I AM AMAZED BY HIS EYESIGHT SERIOUSLY.

And he doesn’t even wear specs!!

Headed on to Shiretoko Goko Lakes (5 lakes) which also happens to be the grizzly bears’ natural habitat! The Sister and I got so excited about the possibility of spotting bears on the trail we picked, especially since they had a 20 minute lecture on how to FIGHT a bear when you see one!! Okay I am kidding.

Unfortunately we didn’t spot any bears but we did have the time of our life camwhoring and taking 1.5 hours on a route that was meant to take 40 minutes!

And third animal of the day spotted while driving, AGAIN by The Father. (seriously?!?!)
A baby fox! Apparently The Sister wanted to get out of the car to pat it but The Mother got all hysterical thinking the baby fox would eat her. LOL

Alright! Am gonna head to bed nowwwwww! I typed out half of this entry with one eye closed. HAHA!

Konnichiwa! (Part II)

Miso soup pot for breakfast at my favourite hotel this trip the next morning 🙂 There was a whole selection of soup ingredients on top of the already awesome buffet spread!

Loved my croissants and scrambled eggs! I only allow myself to be indulgent with breakfasts on holidays! And ABSOLUTE favourite ‘Chlorophyll’ noodles, they’re the best udon (though they looked and tasted more like fettucine to me), they were so Q and chewy and the dipping was perfect. I’m only eating cold noodles from now on!

Passed by a cow farm on the way for gas and The Boyfriend insisted that I take a pic since I was in ‘cow’ attire, hehe 🙂

Drove all the way to a look out only for it to see fog! Only good thing that came out  of it, Bamboo ice cream! 😀

And a sulphur mountain!

Upclose and personal!

Ramen for a superrrrrrrr late lunch since all of us were overstuffed from breakfast! Shoyu base, vegetarian and cold noodles only served in summer!

MORE icecream! The Boyfriend and I shared a triple scoop 😉

Another day, another sunset 🙂

Reached the onsen (hot spring) hotel, got super excited by the pretty light green yukatas with sweet floral prints!

Way too much food for dinner again and we all had to loosen our obi belts after :O
saw the triple chocolate fondue at another restaurant after dinner!

Ending the day with an outdoor hot foot soak! 😀

The next morning in our matching checkered shirts from korea 😉

The next batch of pics are all animals we spotted on the way so I got lazy, hahah! Shall head for a swim now since the weather’s good 🙂

Konnichiwa!

Hello! I haven’t been the most hardworking in updating this little space so here I am trying to keep up! Last week was spent overdosing on seafood and flowers on a family trip to Hokkaido! It’s not exactly the best season to visit now but I think The Parents were desperate for some sort of scenic getaway. What made the trip perfect was The Boyfriend’s presence :’) Not forgetting loads of soft ice cream made with Hokkaido milk which explains the gradual bloatedness as the days went by 😉

So because there’s no better way to describe a holiday than pictures…

First stop: A pumpkin and ice cream farm!

Followed by a trip to the waterfalls and the trick art museum!

P.S all these were paintings!

First (and most unsatisfying) dinner

So unsatisfying we had to pop over to Santouka for some Ramen!

Shoyu, Chili and Miso 🙂

Atas breakfast the next morning!

BEST.THING.EVER!

‘Can you catch me a cloud to hug?’

Convenience stores to the rescue when breakfast was gone! I had a really good brown rice onigiri and cheesecake with a buttery tart base! Don’t mind the calories now 😉

And caramel soft ice cream!

Follow me Japan cars all parked in a row to catch the sunset!

(This trip was done on a self-drive tour – the travel agency booked our air tickets, hotels, we chose the cars we wanted and gave us a very detailed itinerary of about 10 attractions a day + gps + toll car and we chose where we wanted to go!) Freedom + convenience + luxury all in one tour 🙂

First night’s hotel and probably my favourite! Loved the onsen (natural hot spring bath) so much, it became a ritual to go every night after to relax and gossip with my mum and sis! 🙂

The Sister teaching the Father how to totter around properly in heels!

The first of our seafood dinners! We were so impressed and happy till we saw the 2nd, 3rd and 4th… *vomits seafood*

When we got back after dinner, our tatami beds were all set up!
These are by far the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Even though The Sister and I did wake up at 5.30 AM to watch tv. HAHA!

And The Boyfriend’s turn to totter around in heels; he did a much better job than my dad I must say!

Rightttt so that’s up to Day 2! Stay tuned for more in the next couple  of days 😉

Weekend and Jaynelles outfits!

This weekend, we did what a greedy couples do best – foodie dates! Its no wonder I’ve packed on so many pounds that J always laughs at me when we try on clothes at our suppliers’!

Had a shoot for Jaynelles on Saturday and we’ll be launching our Fall Ensemble I tomorrow night at 8.30PM! J and I both kept quite a few pieces from this collection, its so feminine yet edgy at the same time!

Here are sneaks if you haven’t seen our Facebook Preview!

You can tell we’re still very much into the white trend, hehe 🙂 Flounce Lace Frock in Ivory!

And the colour I kept, Sunshineeeeeeeeeeee 🙂

Snapped a pic to get The Boyfriend’s approval over whatsapp 😉 he loves it as much as I do, if not more!

Sorority Frock in Ivory! Comes in sizes S and M 🙂 I wear an S very snuggly! Love how the mock halter flaunts the collarbones! Its fully covered up behind and very appropriate for work hehe:)

Pippa Frock in Paisley! LOVE LOVE LOVE the prints on this one! then again, I’m a fan of anything monochrome, hahaha! When my girlfriend came over to my place for some shopping, she grabbed this coz the fit is so good esp at the waist and the material is structured yet lightweight and easy to wear 😉

Anddddddd, presenting the baby of this collection!

Zaira Bustier in Aztec! Comes in sizes S & M, its made of a structured cotton denim. I’ve never been keen on bustiers but this print just DID IT FOR ME. J, our model and I all kept a piece each 😉

Wore it out for some animal lovin’ (more later!) on Sunday! I wear a size S btw 🙂

Fieldrush Fitted Dress, the prints are so happy! Our model kept a piece 😉

And here’s one for the sleek OLs – the Perfectionist Peplum Dress in Cobalt! Currently my favourite colour besides monochromes! Its got a slightly sexy low U-back but I promise, you can wear a normal bra with it and your bra strap won’t be seen! Our model was wearing a normal bra in all pictures!

——————————————-

Dinner at The Coastal Settlement after the shoot!

Alllll the way at Changi! I’ve only been that far for my crabmeat linguine but The Boyfriend and I decided this was worth a visit! We didn’t make reservations so we had to sit outside with a smelly mosquito burner, hahah. Had the bangers & mash and the cheeseburger, both of which were equally good! Price wise, its just slightly cheaper than PS Cafe so expect to pay about 25-30 for mains!

————————————————-

Some animal lovin’ on Sunday!
After a short trip to the SPCA, we decided we hadn’t gotten our fill of cuddling furballs so off we went to a dog cafe! Not gonna reveal where it is in case it gets too crowded, not enough dogs to go around! 😦 hehe, if you know, good for you!

The Pomeranian – Yuki-chan!

She slept soundly on his lap for a good 45 minutes! Should I be jealous? hahaha!

The Dachshund – Slinky!

Okay there was also a Cocker Spanniel, a Maltese, a white Pug and a super furry brown dog (can’t remb the breed), all are puppies between 8-10 months old!! Super cute and friendly and all they wanna do is just sleep.. awwwww 🙂 Definitely going back there soon!

—————————————

On the shopping front this week: 2 tops from HVV’s sale collection II!

Utopia Paisley Tank in turquoise (S)
IMG_3621-tile
I’m not quite sure I love this, but I don’t hate it. The paisley prints look alot more auntie in real life than in HVV’s pics. Size S fits me well with hardly any allowance. Material is the slinky sort which makes it slightly more auntie than it already is.

Starcrossed Sequin Top in Cream

IMG_3623-tile
Okay so this cream isn’t really cream, its a nude sort of beige. Slightly darker than HVV’s colour chart. I don’t think I would have picked this colour if I’d seen it in real life. It fits me with allowance 🙂 Bought it coz I love the sequins but it can get slightly scratchy coz the bottom most portion isn’t lined!

For ref: I’m a UK8 for tops!

Love all ’round!

Sorry for being away again, it was a busy weekend with Jaynelles being at the *Scape flea and trying to spend quality time with The Boyfriend without getting distracted by all things technology… Though he did pop into Challenger on Sunday night! But that’s a different story altogether 😉

Headed to JCube on Sunday night and we tried Kungfu Paradise for the first time! Pretty good food for very reasonable prices 😉 The custard bun was exactly how it should be! Warm and oozing with salty sweet goodness!

And on Monday night; we meant to have dinner at Auntie Kim’s but they were closed 😦 So we settled for Woorinara a few doors down. We had a better dinner this time round with the sampler platter of fried chicken! The last time we ordered the sweet & spicy (the reddish sauce drenched ones you see) and it was totally gelat. The soy sauce ones were great though!

Anddd Jaynelles at *Scape!

Jas in Dahlia Skater Frock (M)! And I’m in Everyday Blouse in Fuschia 😉 Gotta love my girlfriends for coming down to support! And the customers who came, you guys made our day! 🙂 Not forgetting our 2 preciou men turned bodyguards at night, hehe we love you for your patience and muscle! (Even though Nic did a terrible job folding clothes and Alex & I had to refold everything when we got home, lol!)

Look out for another collection next week! Expect aztec bustiers in SIZES! (not bralets coz not everyone has a perfect mid riff, hehe), lace dresses, paisley frocks, peplum work dresses and fitted floral dresses! woohoo 🙂

KL eats and Jaynelles’ Preview!

I’m 4 days late but I wanted to say Happy Birthday Singapore!! The Boyfriend and I had a quick drive to KL during the long weekend and I’m so glad to be back even though it was a mere 3 days. Besides the food, there’s nothing much to enjoy there 😦

So first things first, we’ll be releasing a new collection on Jaynelles  this Wednesday night (hopefully I’ll be able to figure out the preview + mailers myself since J is on holiday!)

The team had a shoot on National Day itself; gotta love them for sacrificing their public holiday!! So here’s a peek at what’s coming up on Wednesday night!
Presenting……..

The Little White Dress! This is so innocent and comfy to be in and its PURE white. Not cream/nude/off white! Nipped in gently at the waist with a feminine skirting and gorgeous textured details! Comes in sizes S and M too! Model, J and I all wear a size S 🙂

P.S the clutch is for sale too! 😀 Comes in Latte (a creamy sort of nude as well!)

We’re loving the white trend this season!

Little Miss Gorgeous LWD (Little White Dress) comes in Tiffany toooooooooooo! Its gonna be the perfect bridesmaids dress, moreover with sizes! 😀

My favourite of the entire collection, a fitted dress in monochrome paisley. I love how it skims the curves and that the material is structured enough to be fitted and not bodycon (in other words, extremely tummy friendly!) This would fit a UK6-10 🙂
Our model, J and I ALL kept a piece!

If you’re on the lookout for work dresses/tea party frocks, this would be perfect. Its made of a quality weighted structured cotton material, fully lined and comes in sizes S and M! Model wears S and I’m in between sizes :S

Love the prints on this one! This is fitted but not as structured as the monochrome paisley dress, its made of a silky polyester material that’s light on the skin and super comfy to wear!

J kept a piece!

We also brought back a favourite in a spanking new colour – the Everyday Blouse in Hot Pink! 😀 (I kept this. SHHH)

AAAAAAAAAAANDDDDDDDDDD, the baby of the entire collection!

Peplum tops in Pink and Matcha florals! Love this top to bits and pieces. Its made of a structured cotton-denim and this is the first peplum top that doesn’t make me look like I’m pregnant. And believe me, I’ve tried alot! Model and I kept green and J kept pink! Its slightly stretchy and would fit a UK6-big 8 for tops!

J rocking the pink!

Bestest photog ever ❤

————————————————

KL road tripping!

First stop was a dimsum place recommended by IeatIshootIpost, only we didn’t find the original one coz there wasn’t a proper address and ended up at the sister’s shop. Really good Lo Mai Kai but the rest was average.

Headed down to I-city, a new attraction in KL supposedly famous for its LED lights and snow city after some lousy shopping. It was very very disappointing though. Just a couple of structures.

Had a late dinner at Marufuku, recommended by Ladyironchef. Its hard to get The Boyfriend to eat any noodles besides wanton mee so I was pleasantly surprised when he polished off the entire bowl! Noodles were very chewy and especially shiok since we ordered the cold variety 🙂

Dessert! Chocolate Durian cake and a blueberry cheesecake from a random bakery nearby 😉 The chocolate durian cake was just as its name was; pure chocolate and durian. SIN. Had a drink a barrel of water after coz we could feel the heatiness!

My happy fatty ❤

I don’t remember traffic in KL being bad the few times I’ve been there but this time round, it was horrendous. It took us 1.5 hours to get back to the hotel which was less than 20 km away. The woes of living right smack in the heart of the city. Not that I minded though, I was sleeping for the most part and only woke up to disturb the boy. Teehee.

The Boyfriend is always super enthusiastic about researching for brunch places overseas and this time, he brought me to Bangsar Village for eggs benedict at Plan B cafe! My eggs benedict was average though but I loveeeddd the sauteed mushrooms and the freshly squeezed orange juice! And the best part; only 10 SGD per person!

Passed by a cool bakery and they had peppermint croissants and really gorgeous pastries but I WAS TOO FULL 😦

Dinner at a glam food court in the city; same concept as Food Republic, all the famous hawkers gather and overcharge but we’re still happy customers anyway coz we get to eat yummy food in a clean, air conditioned environment 😀

Headed to Ikano Power Center for abit coz The Boyfriend thought it would be ‘my kinda place’ with all the UK shopping brands even after I repeated multiple times that I didn’t want to shop at brands that could be found in SG. And it turned out that he wanted to go so badly coz he feels comfortable in IKEA. LOL. Froyo for dessert, we had a go at interesting flavours like Rose X Lime and Date!

ANDDDDDDD my favourite A&W on the way back! 😀

From West to East

Finally ending off the vacation post which started a month ago! Click on the ‘new york’ tag if you’d like to read more about the other bits of New York I miss 🙂

For our last 2 days in NY, we did an impromptu trip to the Niagara Falls!

The Baby Sis who had gone earlier had warned me about how wet she got and so the kiasu Singaporean in me had to be all geared up in dri-fit attire!

Rainbow above the falls! So breath taking and incredibly amazing, totally worth the 7 hour bus ride!

We were really blessed with the luxury of time which allowed us to see so much!


Day 2 of our Niagara Falls trip was a really eventful one. The tour group set off from the hotel bright and early in the morning to go hiking at a nature reserve called Watkins Glen, only to have the bus hit a curb thanks to a narrow winding road. The engine started smoking and all of us were trapped in the bus for almost 2 hours. Thankfully, another tour bus came to our rescue and took us to Watkins Glen. By then, the dark clouds were gathering and it was threatening to storm. Which the guides decided to ignore and led the tour group. Obviously it started to pour and a couple of us got stuck, 20 minutes into the trek. Prayed and prayed so hard for the rain to stop and it finally did after about half an hour so The Boyfriend and I chiong-ed all the way to the end (didn’t even stop to take pics coz we were so so so hungry and wet!) It was truly the experience of a life time, not one that I would wanna repeat though! Managed to get back to NY nice and early after skipping a trip to a glass museum (which the Boyfriend and I didn’t wish to pay for anyway hahah, so thank God for that!) for a goooodd last night in NY!

 

TGIFridays for our last dinner in the city! Not sure how the food is in SG but it was pretty good in NY!

And Junior’s devil’s food cheesecake for late night dessert in our hotel after some last minute shopping 😉 What a perfect way to end our stay in the States!

HK! Was super jetlagged so I dragged The Boyfriend to have dimsum with me at Lin Heung Tea House, which we always never manage to wake up in time for. We got to try different stuff this time round since we were early but sadly, i think we can find better dimsum in SG.

Super happy with his wanton mee! Which he ended up not finishing coz the Char Siew was too fatty for him. Heh.

The mandatory trip to Australian Dairy Milk Company before crossing the border to SZ!

First meal in SZ. Waited a good 45 minutes for overly salty beef hor fun and miserable fried rice 😦

So happy to be going back to HK!

Its Singapore’s birthday tmr and a super long weekend for us! Photoshoot for Jaynelles tomorrow again, expect florals, neons, peplum and structured dresses next week! 🙂 Will also be doing a short get away with The Boyfriend for foooood, can’t wait!
