A Naiise Pop-Up Store

So much to look and see at Naiise's pop-up store! It was nice to be contacted again by Amanda to come down on their opening day to the unexplored area of Jalan Besar! And yay - Jess came along to keep me company after our brunch at The Bravery cause I'm too shy to go for these things alone heh.

If you're looking for something unique that strays from the cookie-cutter stuff you often see online, this month is a pretty good opportunity to swing by and see what Naiise has to offer in real life. I am particularly fond of the local section they have on their website that features uniquely Singaporean goods, like the "Chey, i'm the Chiobu lor~" tote bag above! They have tons of other trinkets to look at and even a shoe making workshop going on at the same time (which you have to make an appointment for).

But anyway it was really nice to finally meet Amanda in real life, who also kindly gave me a tour of the store and share with me a little more about what goes on behind the scenes with Naiise and how much effort they put into creating this pop-up store (they rolled that huge yellow spool thing from a nearby dump all by themselves!) It's cool how much you can do with a little creativity, no matter what your budget. The people at Naiise are terribly resourceful!!!

Visited Naiise's pop up store till 22nd June at 115 King George's Avenue and is open from 12:00 - 7:00pm daily!

Brunch with Jess @ The Bravery

Posted on Tuesday, June 3, 2014






Although the boyfriend laughed at me for paying $10.50 for The Bravery's Eggs on Toast (with half an avocado), I actually thought it was one of the most value brunches I've had in Singapore in a while! The avocado was perfectly ripe like butter (ooh) and the poached eggs were also done to perfection with that oozy yellow yolk that bursts out when you cut into it. Jess had her Eggs on Toast (with smoked salmon) ($13.00) which may have been even more value cause they gave her tons and tons of them Salmon (which i koped hehe).

Anyway, we chose to travel to the supposedly industrial hip Jalan Besar  area to try The Bravery because it happened to be just a 5 minute stroll to Naiise's pop up store at 115 King George's Avenue! Will blog about that real soon! The Jalan Besar area actually has quite a number of cool cafes, so it's definitely worth giving this area a visit.

SHI YA x THE ORDINARY CO

Posted on Saturday, May 31, 2014



SHI YA for THE ORDINARY CO
Model: Ng Shi Ya
Photography and Styling: Myself

If i had the chance to walk the streets of Paris again in warmer months, I'd probably wear what I styled Shi Ya in for our latest shoot with The Ordinary Co. But anyway since i'm generally unphotogenic and essentially not in Paris, it's nice to play pretend and romanticize it all out from my head and onto the screen as if I were there. So yeah - fun fact - about 90% of the apparel you see in our Lookbook's are actually my clothes which i bought and don't wear enough! Anyway, was really happy that Shi Ya was agreeable to be a model! It's so great to photograph people who have little or no experience modeling, and to see them slowly get more and more comfortable in their skin as the shoot progresses. It's also a challenge, but a fun one to be able to make even the most awkard people look as graceful as swans (ok I barfed a little in my mouth for how cheesy that sounded, but you get what I mean).

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed the photos and do check out the full Lookbook on our Facebook page. I'd promise to blog more often because dear Jiehui keeps telling me to, but i confirm can't keep my promise (though I'd like to) :'D Don't give up on me guizeeee.

P.S. I hate how blogger has started compressing all the photos such that the quality drops when i upload it on my blog >:(
