Stay

I know this blog's been pretty dead...but there is a good reason to it (trust me) - I've been slogging really hard ever since I started work at a PR agency last month. It's my first job ever and I'm actually learning quite a lot, so there isn't much about my life (or outfit updates hahaha, not that I attempt to do a lookbook-worthy entry most of the time anyway). Loads has happened over the course of my last blog entry and now - got my first paycheck (YES!!!! shopping time!), turned 23, grew more curves and yes, got attached to some random nice guy who is also from the PR industry. But that said, here are some pictures courtesy of yours truly:

ASOS Sonic Pointed Heels - I've always wanted to get a pair of pointed heels ever since my pointed stilettos broke. And ankle strap heels + kitten heels are pretty much the trend 'tis season (what, you need more convincing? OK, just check out Christopher Bailey's Burberry Fall 2013 - the British luxury house sent its models streaming down the runway in demure kitten heels). Besides, walking around in heels all day aren't doing my feet any favor. I'm totally diggin' the heels and I love the fact that you can dress them up with corporate wear, or wear them down for your everyday errand run. I can't wait for them to arrive - 11 March, please come forth!

ASOS Salon Floral Bandeau Dress - This was my OFTD for this year's Lunar New Year. And yes, I pretty much have a thing for everything floral. (And in case you're wondering, I got this cute cat hanger from Urban Outfitters. Tres chic et cute!)

Celine Luggage Tote: My favorite bag at the moment. 'Nuff said. 

H&M Brocade Pant: This was on my wish list for X'mas last year and nope, my Secret Santa didn't hear me. But note to self: do get yourself a pair of printed pants!

My workstation: It was my third day of work; I had nothing much to do but here's my sister's trusty old Balenciaga and notebook (told ya I love pretty things)

Stylestalker Panther Lace Pant - I love lace and this is probably the sexiest lace number I've ever laid my eyes on. Just ordered it online and I can't wait for it to arrive in the mail. Fingers crossed that it fits though (since Stylestalker is known for its smaller-than-usual sizes).

P.S: I've been playing Rihanna's Stay on repeat. And yes, I do think that's probably her best single ever from her latest studio album, Apologetic.

Tea Party

I've always been a huge fan of high tea (think: scones, sandwiches, dainty desserts and yummilicious pastries) - it's no wonder why I'm always at TWG chilling with my friends. Heck, even my 21st birthday bash was held at the Rose Veranda (Shangri-la Singapore), with the theme 'Breakfast at Tiffany.' How apt.

In any case, today was just yet another lazy Sunday...save for the fact that my brother, cousin and I spent the bulk of our Sunday afternoon appreciating a high tea buffet at the Tea Lounge, Regent Singapore. It was my first time at the Tea Lounge (yes, I actually missed it the first time round when I was scouring for high tea venues to hold my birthday bash). According to my cousin, it's pretty common for people to be on the waiting list for months cos the food spread here is really good (caviar, salmon, two choice of unlimited tea and beverages, wagyu, foie gras pate and desserts/pastries for just $48++). But what really impressed me was the impeccable service. The moment we stepped into the tea lounge, the manager (he's French, by the way) warmly showed us to our seat and even took time off to explain the food spread to us. The servers too would also dropped by once in a while and made (some) small talk with us. Such wonderful service indeed.

Managed to snap this Hawaiian Floral Dress from an online local (Singaporean) blogshop by the name of Sandyjoy. This is my first purchase from a blogshop! I've never shop from local blogshops before so guess this is a first. Got it from the mortar store (apparently there was a Fashion Showcase at the Suntec Convention Hall over the weekends and there were more than thirty blogshops setting stall there). Oh and yes, my metallic pumps! I've been dying to wear them out for ages! :>
