Wit x Folly for The Ordinary Co

Posted on Friday, April 18, 2014


Hi all! Do check out the Lookbook collaboration with sisters Sipei and Jien that has just launched on The Ordinary Co's Facebook page! We've been working tirelessly on it for the past two weeks and it's really great to see the ideas come to life.

I'm usually bursting with ideas on what to do for shoots (I already have at least 7 ideas all lined up in my head. Any takers???) but there are always limitations on how creative you can get. Partnering with Wit x Folly was definitely a dream come true for me because I'd been shamefully spying on their lovely artwork for a while - and when sweet Sipei pitched the idea to me, I immediately jumped onto it! Anyway, I'll cover more about it later on when my body isn't crying for sleep or something. I swear non-stop work is going to get to me soon :(

Justin's 26th

Posted on Monday, April 7, 2014

Oops a bit laggy but here are pictures from Justin's 26th birthday last weekend at Ah Orh Seafood Restaurant, which is his favourite because it sells teochew style zhi char! Anway as redonk as they are, it's sweet that Justin has a firm group of friends who want to celebrate his birthday with him. So other than defiling the party hats i bought and giving Justin the "best" gift ever (a knitting set - which they spent a whole month advertising how mysterious and wonderful it was), the birthday boy was really happy at the end of the day - which is what matters! Happy birthday to this one who is officially closer to 30 than 20!

Random tips: The maximum table seating capacity for most zhi char restaurants is usually twelve. Called a number of places and they all said the same thing, so big parties, beware!

Jessica for The Ordinary Co

Posted on Saturday, April 5, 2014


JESSICA for THE ORDINARY CO.
Model: Jessica Gabrielle Teo
Photography & Styling: Myself

I was racking my brains thinking of where to shoot the latest Lookbook for The Ordinary Co that gave it  an oriental yet modern feel, and then I realised that my house was... perfect, haha. There's something about shooting in the comfort of your own home that lessens the worry of things such as *shudder* logistics. Anyway, I think I went a little darker with the editing this time. My natural inclination is to keep on hitting that "brightness" button, but for once I hit it in the other direction. There is an (accidental?) progression to lightness towards the end of the shoot, it wasn't intentional but I quite like it. Anyway, it was really fun to shoot Jess and she looks good in a lot of the photos, so it was honestly hard to pick what to release for the Lookbook (I added some extra favourites that weren't featured in here!)

Plus, despite how serious she looks in the photos, do you know she's really a big cheeseball? Seriously, look at our behind the scenes photos!



All the jewelry featured in this shoot is available on The Ordinary Co, so head over to grab your favourite cause they're really running out fast!

For the curious ones, I shot this on my amateur-ish Canon 500D with the 50mm f/1.8 prime lens I kind of indefinitely (and gratefully) borrowed from my big sister :D Pfft, who needs fancy cameras? But haha, just kidding. I'd grab a 6D if i could, but really, work with what you have guys.
