Chocolates Anyone?

Chocolate lovers paradise at Wimbly Lu, Jalan Riang or so we thought... Upon entering the cafe, the warm and cosy interior was indeed inviting! But because we didn't make reservations, the only seats left for a table for 2 was right at the entrance. Not that I mind because I can just turn my head and see all the goodies they had to offer without leaving my seat! 

After looking through their menu, we finally decided on the items we wanted to order and called the waitress. 

Alex: 1 baked rice

Staff: Sorry it's all sold out

Alex: Okay.. 2 cottage pies then

Staff: ok

Returns 3 minutes later....

Staff: Sorry the cottage pies are all sold out too.

Alex & I look at each other and ended up ordering fries, chicken nuggets and cheese toasties.

The food came and the cheese toasties were actually those sandwiches you make at home using the sandwich maker. Hmm.... The chicken nuggets were not the typical fast food kind so it was still ok. The fries also ok. 

We've heard so much about they desserts so we decided to try them out. Alex ordered the rootbeer chocolate cake with vanilla ice-cream and I ordered the chocolate creme brûlée. If you aren't a rootbeer fan like me, please don't order the rootbeer chocolate cake. It brought back all the bad memories of throwing up after drinking rootbeer as a kid. Eew. If you are a rootbeer fan, please order. I think you will like it. My chocolate creme brûlée was something different but after eating that unforgettable creme brûlée at Grand Park Hyatt Hotel in HCM, this pales in comparison. 

Will we go back to Wimbly Lu? 

Hmm...

Maybe only for tea preferably on a weekday afternoon. 

[OUTFIT] Give Me A Little Lime

Very happy that its good eyeliner day ;)

Some days are just testing my patience in the eyeliner drawing portion during makeup.
GRRRR....
Wearing Clinique's Chubby Stick in Whoppin Watermelon, which gives the lips a very light and natural pinkish tinge and it also moisturizes the lips at the same time!  
Opted for a messy high bun as I felt that it complimented this outfit.
I was also trying to camouflage my fading purple ombre tips ;)

Besides, it's a hairdo that won't ever go wrong in this tropical climate of ours!

Close up shot of my favourite ankle strap kitten heels from Zara and black bag from Charles & Keith.

  Close up of the cobalt blue necklace I got from Lovisa sale! *HAPPY*

The daisy print blouse was a love at first sight for me, I knew I wanted to pair it with this cobalt blue leather skirt the moment I laid my eyes on it.

I was really feeling the lime and cobalt combination that day and pairing it with black would've been a little too predictable for me...

Love the zip details on the skirt! <3

 We moved on to explore the area a little bit and found this place where we thought might make a good photo spot. 

I'm glad we took photos here cos.....

I super love the golden glow of the evening sun in these pictures! 

After the shoot, we went for dinner at Hotpot culture at Marina Square with my parents. We also walked around abit after dinner to digest the food hahaha... I kinda like going to Marina Square cos it isn't very crowded and you won't feel like you have to jostle with others just to move around the mall.

I love Sundays where I can just chill after work and have dinner with those close to heart.

Hope you're all having a wonderful week so far! :)

[OUTFIT] Wandering through the Past

I'm a huge fan of cupcakes and when I chanced upon Plain Vanilla Bakery at old Tiong Bahru estate, I decided to try their chocolate ganache flavor. 

It was delicious simply because the chocolate is not the uber sweet till your teeth fall out kind of chocolate, but the semi sweet kind. 

I think it's cos it had a unique topping which had a nutty taste, it went very well with the chocolate. 

Subsequently, I tried their red velvet, strawberry, chocolate chip, salted caramel etc.. Basically I became a fan of plain vanilla's cupcakes! <3                   

I went there after my classes to get my does of cupcakes and while we were there, decided to walk around the place a little bit, have some coffee and take some outfit photos too. 

My dress is from SheCaptivates, I paired it with a plaid shirt which I tied around my waist to give the dress some shape, Spikey boots, felt fedora and my studded bag pack I got from Taiwan.

The dress is sold out, but SheCaptivates has newly launched the "top" version of this sellout dress. Get yours here:

[OUTFIT] Chasing Sunlight

We were looking for a place that suited out theme of "urban luxe" and found this place with a very old school flight of stairs for a outdoor shoot for SheCaptivates.

Its like metallic luxe amidst the old, somewhat derelict surroundings.

I've always loved pictures I see on Instagram or online whereby the sunlight casts a golden glow on the person.

I'm really glad for the gorgeous evening sun on the day of the shoot that I too had a chance to take such photos whereby my hair would catch the sun and cast a golden glow! 

I love them and I'm happy! 

           

                   

I'm wearing a gold top from SheCaptivates paired with a leather skirt and necklace for an urban luxe feel. 

Completed the look with my black ankle strap heels.

The top is also available in Platinum.

[OUTFIT] October's Adventures

Flock cafe in quaint Tiong Bahru Estate is perfect for afternoon tea away from the hustle and bustle. 

We planned to go get some delicious cupcakes from Plain Vanilla Bakery cos they sell out really fast! 

Any later and there'll be no more! 

So after getting them, we were deciding which cafe to go for some drinks, and finally settled on Flock. 

Alex has suggested this place a few times but I wasn't really a coffee lover and these cafes usually have lots of different kinds of coffee but not much of other drinks. 

But I was glad we went cos we ordered the good o'l Croque Monsieur and it was so yummy! 

Really beyond my expectations! :)

                                              

                                   

                             Me with my trusty coke zero and look at the cheese!!! 

                                                         Yummilicious! <3

                                    

            After all the eating, I am back to doing what I love...taking outfit pictures!

I'm wearing a basic cropped black top from Topshop and shoe print skort from Dip Drops.

Added my wine red blazer from Cotton On and a necklace that resembled a peterpan collar!  Completed my look with my favourite brown satchel from H&M and patent loafers.

:)

[OUTFIT] Sweet Vintage

I've always liked vintage styled dresses and peterpan collars. When I saw this dress at Dorothy Perkins, it was love at first sight! The prints, shift dress cut and peterpan collar, I was sold! <3 I'm not very tall so it was actually a little long for me, I had it hemmed and also took in the sides a little but not too much so it still had the shift dress cut. I paired it with a little bow for a touch of whimsy and a pair of vintage inspired shoes that reminds me of a cupcake because of its scallop trimmings. I wore this outfit for my sister's birthday dinner at Fish & Co.    

 Dress: Dorothy Perkins, Shoes: Trois & Inch, Bow Clip: Talismans, Bag: Charles & Keith

Yay FOOD!!!

My sis and me :)

                                            

 My lovelies!

 Ever so yummy, Danish Fish & Chips for my sis & me!

 Seafood Platter for my friends!

We headed to Canele for desserts and the birthday cake because my sis didn't want to stand on the chair at Fish & Co while the crew sang the birthday song for her hahaha!

 The pretty birthday girl & lovely Belle :)

 With pretty LaiE :)

Yay group shot!

One darling is missing, she's currently on overseas posting.

We miss you Michelle!!! <3

It was a night fun filled with great company and yummilicious food, I love you all!

Family and friends who will always be there for you.<3

Have a lovely Wednesday!

[OUTFIT] Twirling & Spinning to Summer's Song

                                          

                                                                                                                                                    

These photos were taken for SheCaptivates outdoor lookbook when we launched our Lost & Found Collection. These are some of my favourite shots :) I've always loved vintage style, so the pieces I modeled for for this collection all had some vintage element to it. I remember while growing up, I loved rummaging through my mom and dad's old photos to see how they were like in their younger days and I loved some outfits my mom wore in those pictures! Those days where the full umbrella midi skirts and high waisted jeans were all the rage my my my! Even high waisted bikini bottoms have made a comeback. I don't have a particular style I stick to, I like to change styles but one style I find myself coming back to the most often is the vintage, retro style. Hahaha... Anyway, I had lots of fun at this shoot cos the evening sun was great and I had fun twirling and spinning to get the perfect shot. Tired of smiling? Never! :D

This Polkadot denim dress is also available in light wash.
