Day Two of Singapore Fashion Week! Brought the big sister along who was super excited about it - I think I started my obsession with fashion and shopping thanks to her, haha. We went in between two shows, Hardy Hardy, a subset of Ed Hardy which was fun albeit a bit rock and rolla for me (though the models were gorgeousss); and Sheranut, a Thai designer I really fell in love with!

While we were waiting for the show to start, the music was kind of funny - just birds squawking and elephants trumpeting, but I love how once the show started it made sense. The clothes drew safari references without being too literal, at the same time being very fashion forward and modern (Velvet? Fringe? Check!)

Everything was carefully coordinated to suit this vision, from the headdresses to the tribal makeup. Best part - after the show finished, the models actually stood still like statues on the runway for us audience to actually stand up and get the chance for an up close, detailed look. It's quite genius move as well (instead of just ending the show with the models backstage) because it generated a bit of hype and opportunity to get a better picture for Instagram (or my blog, muahaha), as well as to really appreciate the intense detail in the clothes. It also occurred to me that the models were standing there for people to observe, kind of like a safari once again, and super in theme. I had so much fun shooting  it all. Sometimes taking photos alone gives me a bit of a giddy high, does anyone know how I feel?

Once again a big thanks to NARS for the invites! (And sorry my posts are so slow, Christmas is crazy!)

Had fun pretending to be all healty / hipster at Stranger's Reunion post-yogasana with Sujin - this girl really just entertain's all my whims and wishes whenever I have these crazy urges to check out a new find!


So anyway, I've heard about Stranger's for the longest time but just never really found any reason to come down, I mean, it's just another cafe right? But after chancing upon a picture of their Avocado Smoothie Bowl ($11.90) on Instagram, I had to go because I've been crazy pinning all kinds of these super photogenic food on my Pinterest for the past couple of weeks but hadn't had a chance to try one or saw one pretty enough to take a trip down for... till now!


The Smashed Avocado Toast ($15.50) also was outstanding albeit a bit pricey for not a lot of food. The bread was crispy and fluffy and soaked with BUTTER, and the avocado was very generously lathered on (though still not really worth $15.50 on hindsight).


Anyway the verdict on the Smoothie Bowl is that it a) does not taste as bland or as baby food-ish as I thought b) it is a surprisingly filling to be a whole meal and c) I think it's not actually that healthy because it was super sweet, but that's what made it yummy, and I don't really care about healthy food anyway so whatever, haha.


Quite impressed with Stranger's Reu really, there are so many cafes in Singapore that bank on being pretty but serve subpar food, but their food is pretty legit AND the place is pretty too, of course, which is still an important part of cafe culture. Guess that's why they've been around so long!
