Till then :)

Smooch Tori Dress in Cream Size S :)

The minute I saw the previews for this past launch last week, I knew I had to get Delia in French Rose and Tori Dress in Cream, both Size S :) Couldn't make it to the launch. Thanks to dear Peijuan (1 of my twitter babes), who help me to email order at 9pm sharp, I managed to secure a piece of Tori Dress in Cream! =D Guess Delia was sold like hotcakes, by the time it reaches me, it was OOS..haha nvm shall hunt it down!

Received this today in my mailbox :)

This dress is inspired from one of Sarah's dress that she bought elsewhere (owner of SmoochSG). The original dress she own was of grey leafy prints which was gorgeous, so we were glad that she actually decided to smooch this out! Available in peach, cream and mint, I decided finally on cream :)
The dress is of good quality I must say! There's a front zip for easy wearing, and a unique racerback design that's not too low! Thumbs up for being able to wear it with a normal bra :) This piece is non sheer, not even with my black bra! Sleeves had peachy-nude tones at the cuff area :)
However, some slight boohoo is that it isn't very tummy flattering and the length is alittle too short for me :(

Here's a close-up of me wearing it :)

Overall, I feel it's still worth the price wrt the quality and unique design! Provided you are comfortable with the length of this dress that is..Just some simple accessories, a good statement bag and flats and you will look chic in it ;)

Too bad my dress has a defect and I'm hoping to refund or exchange. However if I managed to secure an exchange, I might not be keeping it due to the length! So if you would like to get one, please do let me know at this email add:

(For reference, I'm UK6-8 and 1.69m tall.)

On a side note, 1 of my ASOS parcel has arrived at the post office, yay! =D now awaiting the 3 items I have splurge on LB Cruise Collection 1 and my 2nd ASOS parcel! :)

Have a great week ahead people! Happy Valentine's Day to all of you out there! :)

My 1st Encounter with a Nespresso Pixie :)

Hee, back for a short post :)

My first encounter long enough for me to meddle and play with a Nespresso Pixie in Indigo ;)

The store is located in ION Orchard :) Heard there's even a Shanghai Tang- Nespresso collaboration and the special design boxes are gorgeous crafted for any home :) Just on the mind that it might be on the pricey side!

Unveiling the baby ;)

It's damn gorgeous and the color shade is different both under lighting and normally! :)


The machine came with a 16 capsules package of different flavours for customers to sample on and decide afterwards which flavours are worth more investing on :) Nonetheless, 5 other flavours were bought too and 1 box being white - belongs to the limited edition flavours ;) Each sleeve (long box) contains 10 capsules fyi :) Just dump all of them mixed, in an empty glass bottle is so pretty irl and you can just randomly try a flavour each time u needed that caffeine fix ;)

Tried out my first cup of coffee with the limited edition flavor! Added own milk and mine, it taste heavenly! :)

Hee, I want this in my future home pls =D

Alright, study time..

Awaiting silently for my parcels to slowly arrive, ASOS..SmoochSG...BellaboxSG...VanityTrove =D

My first purchase from LittleRedHeels :)

Yup I just recently purchased a piece of Hooked Polka Dot Bustier Top in Red Size S from LittleRedHeels after much discussion on twitter and seeing Valerie posting her piece in Blue on twitter =) It's my 1st purchase from this bs :) well technically speaking, it's not from the bs itself but another seller ;)

Headed down collected it yesterday. Love at 1st sight! A unique addition to my wardrobe ;) something different, I love it for the unique feel it gives through this design! Red is more vintage feel as compared to blue:) Well at first touch, the material is rather thin. A good thing that it's not sheer for its material! Comes with an elastic band at the back and a side zip for easier wearing, I must say those girls do really take convenience into account alot! I have no problem wearing it ;)

Love the whole look after trying it out :) a sad thing that the cutting is not very fitting like any other bustier tops, and it's actually rather short! It would be best to match it with high-waisted bottoms. Have fun mix-matching and coming up with different styles! Love it best when I Match it with HW shorts in forest green from CatWalkClose :)

This piece is a definite keeper ;)
However, I wouldn't really pay $28 for a piece of this with mailing, best would be $26.50 with mailing.
But nonetheless, I will still be joining the BO for the exact same design but in white floral prints! definitely opting for self collection at grandlink! 4-8weeks, hope it comes by soon!;)

For reference, I'm UK 6-small 8 and I'm 1.69m tall :)

CNY 2012 :)

First of all, Happy CNY people! :)

2 more days to mark a happy end to first 15 days of Lunar CNY, kind of miss all the fun atmosphere each time CNY comes by annually. :) Well my CNY this year was blessed and fun! Didn't really take much photos due to the continuous sumptous feasting, gambling, praying and simply just pure house visitings :)

Pre-CNY:


Managed to book a last minute slot at SalonVim to get a new hair change for a brand new year :)
Permed my hair with wine brown highlights and bangs! ;) Absolutely loving despite the damage done! Hee. Was in CWC sonette blouse in Wine Red, White crochet shorts from ASOS and Kate Spade tote that day! A good 5-6hours well spent in salon catching up with Gary abit and a new hairdo ;)


Went for OhVola's Meetup Session in Tangong Pagar on Saturday before CNY eve ;)
What I wore:
Catwalkclose Spag top in Red
White Topshop Shorts
Rayban Sunglasses
Hermes Kelly Double Tour Bracelet in Black
Swarovski Watch in White
Catwalkclose Vonne Slouchy Suede Tote

Got a quick express manicure after the meetup at a small nail salon inside International Plaza that I chanced upon ;) Love the friendliness of the staff! hee :) How's my new shade of red for the Dragon year ahead ;)

Went home to try my Cassidy Crochet Top from OhVola in Navy Blue and my, it blew me away! I'm an absolute lover of anything crochet as you all may know :) This top choses to put the collar with crochet right to the back too! Featuring half sleeve and comes with a sash to add some waist to your whole outlook! Loving it when paired with shorts or even plain skirts :)

A huge downpour came and was blown away by this breathtaking view of double rainbows that stayed for awhile thereafter :) A moment of bliss :)

Finally its down to our regular family steamboat during the eve of CNY, followed by praying at midnight :)

CNY days:

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY TO ALL DRAGON BABIES OUT THERE :) Received lovely red packets from parents (mainly LoveBonito's and Sincere Watches' Designs) Wishing them a healthy and prosperous year ahead, my precious loved ones. :)

Went visitng my Lao Xin too, which happens to be my grandmother's sworn sister if you are wondering :) She's extremely healthy still and its a blessing to be able to see her still lively and happy every year; even at the age of 80plus! =D

My aunt's little baby, who's all groomed up and chubby still ;) hee!

At my godma's place, with little naughty cousin whom i'm suspecting of ADHD as he's super hyperactive! haha, together with his mum; my beautiful godsis Kate :) Had loads of yummy food galore everytime I visited them! :) Went home with a satisfied tummy! P/s: try out those goodies if you chance by Germany next time, and they are cheap too! =D Godma pass me a red crystal dustcap for my iPhone too. Forever love :)

First time having 盆菜during CNY this year :) Awesome 12 kinds of the precious seafood delicacies in a pot! And a must try to this brand of moscato, it awesome!

That practically sums up my CNY this year, hope all of you out there had as much fun as I did this year :)

Heard about VanityTrove from Rach's blog and decided to check it out. It has gotten the concept from the Mystery Bag Style that originated in Japan. For merely a SGD25 monthly, a box of random mystery surprises will be sent right to your doorstep :) It's exciting as we wouldn't know what goodies are packed for us according to the skincare quiz we took:)
December's debut box was really full of goodies, from Snail2Cream Ac Troubled Masks to SkinInc, SKII etc.! Too bad I missed it, but go ahead paying for the next :)

January's box came and here are the contents of what's in the box:

My personal favourites are the Leader's Clinic Mask, Clinique Moisture Surge and Yadah Sample Pack that's all too cute to be used! =D My skin was more of a Dry-Sensitive condition so these products actually works well for me with no breakouts or anything up till now! My skin feels hydrated each time I uses the Clinique Moisture Surge, a god-sent sample bottle by VanityTrove.

February's box is arriving soon and it's gonna be special this month as it's the Valentine Surprise Box! ;) Can't wait to share what's inside when I have my hands on it =D

On a random note, nothing seems to interest me lately despite being tempted by those tweets posted by my lovely twitter babes. A real Irony indeed..
Finally something interests me as I browse my facebook :)


Ain't they lovely! Polka dot Bustier Corset and Flare skirt from LittleRedHeels in their upcoming collection on 08February2012 =D Couldn't decide on the colors though, suggestions from you maybe? :)

Off to settle my lab report, till the next my lovely readers :)

Serendipity is what I need lately...
