Christmas 2011 :)

Christmas for 2011 has been good to me and I'm glad for all activities pre organized just specially for this day :)

Found a set of 6 perfect gifts for my friends, each with its unique characteristic imprinted on it and REALLY FRAGILE ;) Together in their little Green Christmas bag will include a pack of selection goodies from royce chocolates ;)
Quite upset with myself when I accidentally broke one of my friend's gift..
Yummy air-flown Japanese Products and Marks&Spencer, thank you my friends for knowing me best ;)

Christmas Day - Afternoon & Night:

High-Tea at Canele on the 6th Floor of Shaw Tower :) Indulgence with store's BlackForest Cake that's too pretty to be eaten :)

A pack of homemade cookies from bestie, Jayne dearest :)

Dinner Gathering with pals that meant a whole lot to me ;) The joy, fun and laughter that filled up the whole cafe was great ;) though its a wrong location choice for dinner venue as it's super crowded in town! Food was only so-so, and only when I'm blogging, I realized I did not take a picture of my main course! haha was too carried away I presume :)

What's Christmas without a little dash of green, red and white with sparks ;)

What's on Me: LB Alejandro Dress in Forest Green, LB Walcott Necklace, Swarovski Watch, Coach Bag, LB Tinsel Flats in Silver

Got myself a RMK x Kate Spade Christmas Makeup Base Kit as present this year as I really adore the casing and those miniature products ;) I have also been wanting to try on RMK as I have heard good reviews of it before! Perfect for myself! Christmas Pressie by a special person :)

Yup that pretty much sum up my Christmas in the year 2011. How's yours? Hope its great! ;)

Lets embrace and cherish all who meant a place in our hearts, forgo all unhappiness and frustrations before, and welcoming a brand new year 2012 in a few days time!Cheers to the many goodness that's unveiling for all of us in a brand new year! :)

To end off, do help me spread the love around! Thanks!:)

Till the next.!

Embrace and forgive...

Antoinette :)

Just want to introduce a good hangout place for couples getaways, girlfriends' tea party, friends' gatherings etc. This place is awesome. Antoinette is the place I wanted to recommend today ;) Not doing any commercials for this shop, but just wish to have a good review about this place :)
It's located at Penhas Rd near Lavender; or you may wish to check out their latest outlet at Mandarin Gallery. From twitter, I can see that most have been to the one at Mandarin Gallery already :)

If you prefer a less crowded, more cosy ambience, I would strongly suggest the store at Penhas Rd :) Do note that their dishes do require some nice patience waiting, and I guarantee you will love it!

The lovely menu, ambience that greeted you upon entering the shop! OH, and I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THE CAKE! Can I have a 5-tier real cake identical to this on my wedding day? ;) hee! Boring boy trying to wait patiently for our food to arive :)

He had Chicken Pen Leg Dish (not quite sure of the full name) and I had Seafood Alio Olio! I have always been a fan of tossing pasta through drizzles of olive oil, generous amount of garlic and chilli, the aglio olio way! =D Have been searching high and low for a restaurant that serves good Aglio Olio and let me tell you, you wont regret ordering this and even had it finished up till the last bits! Yup, it's that good! =)

We are both fans of pancakes and ever since we lost touch of Riders Cafe Pancakes last time (bad news, they won't be bringing back that dish anymore!); we have been trying through different stores. Another good thing is that Antoinette serves all day breakfast ;)

The blueberry pancakes were done just of the right texture and the winning touch has to go to the cream! Awesome goodness and it makes me wanted to ask chef for it's recipe! But don't dare hee..Oh and before we left, Chef Pang(owner; really nice guy!) introduce us to a popularity dessert amongst customers - Pudding Caramel ! That added extra happiness to our faces to end off the night! It's super smooth, and the trick is to eat one corner all the way down, grab hole of the ultra-rich caramelized syrup to go with the pudding! Heavenly good and sinful ;)

Make sure to exercise for a week thereafter! haha =x

A sweet way of sending bills to our table :) Managed to grab hold of the waiter to take a photo as remembrance for us :) Will definitely patronize them again soon <3 =D

What I wore:
LoveBonito's Sage Suede Shorts in Burnt Orange Size S
Crochet Top from BKK
Burberry Watch
Marilyn Tan's braided bracelet
Mango Boxy Bag
LoveBonito's Sandals (not shown)

Went for some stimulated golf fun at killiney - Swing Perfection! Look at him in action! Sometimes I do find that position abit awkward. haha..

Just end it off with my recent new buys:

My new Ipad2 and an absolutely adorable cover ;) so hard to find a nice cover hee!

Decided to grab this after reading Bagaholicboy's post on this Coach Classics Shoulder Purse. It's a limited edition Design and available in 4 different colors! Immediately I knew I had to get vermillion, it's so me!! and I'm glad to receive it with the help of The Bag Passione! This design will not be available in Singapore, ONLY in US. So yup, I'm really happy carrying it out! ;) It can be a small clutch too, removing the strap :) If you wish to know more details about this new found love of mine, do hop over to Bagaholicboy's Blog to find out more! :)

On a side note, cough ain't recovering still and it sucks =( People looked at me in bus thinking I'm some epidemic..gosh..hate this feeling..please let me get well soon!

Till then people!
