I Heart Nylon Free-Stuffies!!

Last Friday, Nylon Magazine celebrated their 1 year anniversary in Singapore!

There was even a section for FREE Shiseido makeovers, but there were so many ladies in the queue for that, I gave it a miss.

Though Mr Yap and myself felt a tad bit old among the young crowd, we had a great time, stuffing our face in cotton candy, munching on popcorn while sipping the freeflow vodka redbull (we're not a fan of vodka).

We left the party with some awesome free-stuffies above! The best part was since Mr Yap received the same goodie bag, I get double the goodness!!!!!

Thanks Nylon for the invitation :D

LOTD: Dr Marts Clemency

I took my new Dr Marts out for a walk yesterday, and the camera clicks followed...

Fashion Tip of the Day:
To make a piece stand out, make sure the surrounding pieces are toned down.

Princess Me!

There's something about princesses and me that I can't explain. I just love being one! And it seems everyone around me knows that :p

As a pre-birthday celebration, Mr Yap took me to Divine at Parkview Square for a grand evening with red wine and some jazz. The interior of Parkview Square is absolutely grand, like a palace set in victorian times. The whole time we were there, I couldn't take my eyes off the grandness of the place!

This morning - my birthday - I was blown away by my colleagues' effort in transforming my office cubicle into a castle! Honestly, it was the most awesome prezzie I've received. The creativity and execution deserves a massive thumbs up!

That afternoon, a little black box arrived at the office! Something I've been waiting for since the past week - the timing could not have been better! My latest addition to my Dr Martens collection: a pair of Clemency boots in hot pink!

Of course I had to get a dose of pink on my birthday! What a princessy day it was for me - WHEEEE!

Give me CURLS!

Today, I got a chance to dabble with some hair extensions from Hair Extensions Bar (HEB). I simple love the pony tail hair extensions which mimic those Japanese big waves down to the T.

BEFORE:
I've got naturally wavy hair that's stubborn to the core. Hair curling thongs do not work on me for long. Last night, I slept with hair sponge curlers in my hair and woke to beautiful tight curls which lasted for only 3 hours, despite applying hair spray this morning :( By midday, my curls became untidy big waves.

AFTER:
The HEB pony tail was so easy to attach onto my hair and the curls were sooooo natural, I felt like a princess! It's amazing how beautiful hair (though fake) makes you feel. Hee. HEB is made of heat resistant fiber, which means if I get sick of the curls, I can iron it straight too! Doesn't my 'hair' look healthy?

It comes in black, brown and light brown, but my dyed and redyed hair colour lies between brown & light brown. Too bad...

Can't wait to recolour my hair next month!

Sydney Haul

Mr Yap & I have just returned from a short 1 week hol to Sydney, and we absolutely loved it.

Sydney - the impressive Harbour Bridge, the must-see Opera House, the lovely white sandy Bondi Beach, the royal Botanic Gardens, and not forgetting, the shopaholic heaven George Street!

I absolutely love Sydney's mid season sale, especially in March/April, when the season's changing from summer to winter and ALL THE SUMMER CLOTHES MUST GO!!

It's absolutely perfect for us living in the tropics!

Here's my souvenirs from Sydney's George Street:

Starting off is one of my favourite buys, a Versace-like printed pants at 70% off!!! (Backdrop: the Government House overlooking the Royal Botanic Gardens)

Myers, a mid to high range department store, was also raided by me! They have awesome mid summer sales! I absolutely love the youth/ young adult department, and hidden in one corner is their bargain section, where already discounted clothes go on even further discount! If you have the time, that section is worth the rummage! There are some absolutely great finds:

My absolute favourite Australian chain of female fashion is Valleygirl! Every trip to Australia calls for some Valleygirl time. The mid season sale was a bonus, where most items were at 50% off. Even if they do not have sales, dresses usually go at $40, and tops at $20 to $30. Totally affordable! Here's my haul, against some of Sydney's iconic sceneries.

Will we see you in Sydney next March/ April?
