More Vintage Dresses Added

Check out the new dresses added to the Vintage Wear collection this week. More will be added after the photoshoot this weekend. Have a great weekend!

Back from Home Visit

Earlier this month, I returned to Singapore for a buddy's wedding while Mr. LTC's objective for the trip was to complete the 42 km Standard Chartered run.

Drama unveiled while we were retrieving our luggage. One of them was waiting for us while another had gone missing! And the worst thing was my bridesmaid dress (the one I was supposed to wear the next morning!) was in that bag, along with my makeup kit! There was a similar size black America Tourister still waiting on the conveyor belt, so obviously, some joker has mistaken our black Hush Puppies for theirs! (I wonder how it could have been mistaken!) 

A report was made and fingers crossed as Mr. LTC and I left the airport. A call was made to Ms. Dependable, one of the bridesmaids, for the address of the shop where the dress was purchased. (I couldn't be freaking out the Bride on the night before, right?) Ms. Dependable managed to wrestle one dress from the shop which was reserved for another customer and I needed to just pick it up. "Keep breathing...", Ms. Dependable says. Foundation, blusher, shirt, socks, undergarments...Mr. LTC and I were frantically making a list of things to buy that night while on the way to the shop. And then the airport called!

All mayhem ended and we could finally breathe...

The wedding was heartwarming and the gatecrashing brought loads of laughter and tears to us. Best wishes to Ger and her Mr. Washington!

Another objective achieved during this trip was to indulge in Singaporean food! On my checklist: bak chor mee, BBQ chicken wings, BBQ stingray, char kway teow, fried hokkien mee, or luak, chicken rice, lor duck rice, nasi lemak, roti prata, Ya Kun. All struck off! (hand rubbing my tummy...)

Meeting up with friends (and their new-borns!) was definitely in the books. My weekends were "fully booked" months before my trip and I was almost out every weekday nights too. Too many diverse groups of friends to catch up with, too little time. But it's ok. I will be back in Singapore during CNY. CNY in Hong Kong is boring for us because there's no relatives for us to visit and no mahjong (for me).

Bistrot Du Vin @ Shaw House

It's extremely hard to get my momentum back and listing my products after this trip. And with Christmas & New Year around the corner, hosting relatives in HK, CNY, there's so many things to look forward to! It looks like the holiday mood isn't dissipating anytime soon.

Have you seen our new vintage wear lately?

20% off on Vintage Dresses in November!

Hi there!

I'm back from my holidays and have quickly added some vintage dresses in the shop! 

This is my personal favourite!

I love the geometric print, the crepe pleats on the top and skirt, the evergreen colour combination of black and sand, the lovely sheen and feather lightness of the fabric. Paired with black heels or pumps, this is a dress that can take you from work to a dinner date with ease.

November is my birthday month. To mark my baby steps in my thirties, I'm giving a 20% discount on all vintage dresses in November!

Click on "VINTAGE WEAR" tab now and start choosing what you want! 

More items will be added next week after I get the photo shoot done this weekend. If you are not a fan of dresses, there are a couple of tops coming your way too! 

Petals and Leaves

We have settled down (more or less) into the new apartment. There are still cartons lying behind the couch, we haven't gotten our coffee table/dining table/work desk (yes, it's going to be a 3-in-1 space saver), but yes, we can call it our home.

Finally gotten down to shooting some new vintage wear loots last weekend. Here's 3 of them first - of floral and leaves prints. I will be listing more dresses before I leave for my Taiwan trip on this Friday!!! Looking forward to it coz it's my FIRST Taiwan immigration stamp in  my passport (horrors!!) And who doesn't welcome holidays? And I'm meeting up with my family for the tour. Do I need another reason to be excited?

So if you want to get anything without having to wait for too long (I'll be back on 30th Oct), my last mail run is on this Thursday!
