Of Late Night Talks

Posted on Wednesday, November 29, 2017



We talked about how my biggest regret in life is being a late bloomer, but I am most grateful for the past 3 years of growth and becoming more introspective and self-aware to how my thoughts lead to my actions and impact my life.

Some say that confidence means accepting who you are unapologetically, but to fully be at peace with yourself doesn't mean that hence the world should bend to your will and accept you wholesale, "take it or leave it".  Self acceptance - which inherently leads to self confidence (to me at least) is having the humility to see and acknowledge these shortcomings, living with them, acknowledging that they need to be changed - and changing it.

I guess thanks to everyone who had the patience to guide me there or at least having the patience to wait till I reached it.

Whatever "it" is.

Turning 26 - Part 3

Posted on Sunday, November 19, 2017

After everyone left from my birthday / engagement party our suite at the JW Mariott felt a little too big for the two of us, so we mostly hid out in our comfy (and stunning!) bedroom. We've both traveled this year but not together because we've been busy working, so it felt like the first time in a while we had some proper quality time together!


I have a photo of Justin in this exact same pose but he's half naked, hahaha. Actually I have a lot of photos of Justin in the same pose as me because I always frame the photo with him in it first (that and he runs in to model - he's helpful like that) :'D


Better photo of the ring, cause :)


Big thank you to Clinique for my favourite Take the Day Off range - this trio: the Make Up Remover, the Cleansing Milk and Towelettes are all a girl needs at the end of a busy day to keep her face fresh and pimple free (I'd been getting a lot more ever since I started wearing makeup).

I find the Towelette's particularly useful for those midday make up removals when you're too lazy to remove everything first. I really love the closure too because it snaps close too so they don't dry up! You know how a lot of brands use a sticky seal instead and it always peels out? Of course, always I always make sure to end the day off with a proper cleanse with the Cleansing Milk and Make Up Remover of course :)



Also headed up to the rooftop pool because everyone recommended it. It looks fantastic and really cool but it was actually really cold too since it was so high up! The wind kills so we tried to hide in the water most of the time, but we rarely swim except on vacation so we love to take every opportunity!



Thanks to some nice Chinese lady for helping us take this, haha. She took sooo many!

Sorry I am incapable of doing short posts. That's all to our 3D2N staycation! 
Can't wait to travel proper with this fatty again soon :)

SGFW 2017

Posted on Thursday, November 16, 2017



Uniqlo Ines De La Fressange Belt

I received a lot of compliments for my outfit but to be honest I almost chickened out wearing it because it's just a teeny bit out there (I was literally prancing around in public in my bra and safety shorts, guys) but I figured - when will I ever wear something like this other than... Singapore Fashion Week? There would always feel be someone to out-crazy my outfit, and to be honest I felt very at home and super comfortable in this because it was very airy! (Fun fact, I literally sewed and altered the straps of my dress the day before, I think having them sit further apart on your shoulders really elevates an outfit - this applies for all spag tops I wear).

Big thanks once again to dear Celeste from NARS for sending me into the giddying swirl and excitement as a Nars Insider! I look forward to this time the year very much and I honestly never in my life would I imagine that I would have the chance to attend SGFW in this capacity - and for two years! Being part of our small fashion industry myself, it's so important to support our local brands so I am so grateful to attend and be part of it all. I wish I could have gone for more shows, but that weekend was crazy, in the end as much as I love the thrill of it all, friends and family do take priority.

Anyway, I'll share more about what happened on the day itself, just wanted to put my outfit photos up first!
