Chapter 11: Outfits for the July-2-Zero-1-Four.

Always feels great to be able to share my outfits on Instagram. Shall post some of my favourite ones here. :D

July ones.

Dress from BYSI ; Sneakers from Converse ; Bag from Longchamp.

Wore my pink number with sneakers that day. Was thinking to go playful and I felt really fresh that day. 

Dress from The Blush Inc. 

Prints x Prints the other work day. Was pretty chilly that day and hence the butterfly cardigan. 

Dress, TSW CLEA FEATHER PRINTED NEOPRENE DRESS IN BLUE, from the Stage Walk, and never one moment I regret owning this piece. Neoprene and the premium cut of this dress made me crazy of this piece. Though you might be one of the shortest dresses I ever owned. This is definitely a keeper! 

Top from The Stage Walk, Shorts and Bag from Alescere. 

Another great buy at the The Stage Walk Warehouse Sale. Received many compliments from this comfy top I gotten.

Dress from The Stage Walk, Shoes and Bag from Alescere. 

The Pastel Sunday, where I felt really sporty despite wearing a dress. Many commented how this dress made me stand out further in the crowd as it complimented well with my skin tone and curves.

Top from Cheris, worn in twice that month. Matched it with Midi Skirt, MISS SONIA MIDI SKIRT (PEACH), from Supergurl (Forth), and the other day in Fuschia from Hayshiteru (Latter).

Dress from Lara'J. Bag and Necklace from Alescere.

Love at first sight which took me last than 3 minutes to cart out this piece. The stretchable material, soothing colours and Cut-in details made every single cent worth investing. And what's more than happy for me to find out that this piece was on sale on the time of my purchase. Lady luck was on me. :)

Top from The Closet Lover, Skorts from Klarra.

Comfort is beyond description when I am decked in this set. My first time wearing apparel from The Closet Lover, the Self-maunfactured Sora Cut-in Top, and I was certain there is sure more to come. Klarra's cutting is usually a little more unfriendly to me. I was surprise how comfortably I am able to fit into their KLARRA Idonia Floral Flare Shorts ,easily, allowing me to go casually stylish.

Dress from The Closet Lover; Shoes and Bag from Alescere; Necklace from Forever 21.

I have never have a fetish for Green. *PREMIUM* TCL AZTEC BEAT NEOPRENE DRESS IN PASTEL GREEN , has totally turned me around. Never thought the Aztec details could work this well with Pastel Mint. Worn best to combat the heat.

Top and Bag from Alescere; Midi Skirt from Ohvola; Shoes from Love Bonito.

My very first choice of Midi so far. You will be amazed how PROMENADE MIDI SKIRT versatile you can play around with this skirt. You can opt for a classy stance or a cheeky play, it goes pretty well with simple blouse too. Soothing material and excellent cut is one of the best choice I made so far for Midis.

Top and Skirt from Ohvola.

I am not sure if you could find prettier prints than this Organza mini number, Ohvola's SOFIANNA SKATER SKIRT I was wearing that day. Matched it with a simple MARC CUT-OUT TOP.

Dress from Ohvola.

Up to date, my favourite piece from Ohvola. Blue x Aztec Prints x Cut Out details. Felt so dainty and lady-like that afternoon. Specially curled my hair the other way since I felt so different that day.

Dress from Ohvola.

Totally went crazy over this dress when it launched. Upon receiving I knew it was meant for me. All my favourite colours compliments each other on CATHLEEN CUT-IN DRESS

 really well --- ITS SO ME! Everyone that knows me knows that I am a super fan of Lucinda and hence Ohvola. What's more surprising to me on this outfit is I was featured finally featured on their Official Instagram and Facebook account. *throws confettis*

That's all for the month of July.

Till the next.

XOXO.

Chapter 10: M I E R O x D A N E T E L L E

"It's what's inside that counts"

In all my life, this has been what I strongly believe in and that is the slogan of Miero.

Many of us would have many quotes in life that spur us on, that motivate us, remind us in life, to keep us on track. Have you ever thought that one day you could wear them as an accessory? Something that you could wear it a style out of it; the quote of your life engraved part of it. Now you can with Miero.

So what is Miero?

Be it key loops inscriptions,

Or Bangle/Wrist-band Style in different colours, 

and designs,

the customised inscription on each unique piece does really reminds us on what we believe in.

Miero serves not just as a motivation reminder to individuals, it does add on to the style of every single one of us. The variety of vibrance does brighten our day isn't it?

It could also be used as wedding or anniversaries mementos with the date/s being inscripted on the Miero too. How awesome is that when you see people wearing these in remembrance of the exclusive occassion.

Miero seems to be great match even on days you decide to go less on accessories.

Chapter 9: Eco x Danetelle

Just a few Saturdays back. When I decide to have some time at home since from my urban life, did so minor tidying at home. Was packing some clothes that have been serving me for at least 7-8 years, and thought they should retired since they are pretty worn by now.

Then it struck me that perhaps I could make good use with some parts of the fabric from some clothing on a dress I ruined quite recently.

( Picture with courtesy from Lara'J )

This was how the dress was supposed to look like. I have never had such strong liking for a dress, from the material to it simple yet classy cutting and yet I didn't have a chance to wear it; its gone. :<

Surprisingly I went straight ahead with my idea, without much hesitation.

Firstly I took out the dress I ruined, significantly obvious that it is due to the overheated iron despite at its lowest heat. Probably its time to change it. Of course felt very heart-broken because its in my favourite shade of blue, plus it didn't made it for any maiden experience for wearing it out yet. Still decide to keep it though it could not be worn out solely like this due to the gigantic iron-marked kissed on the center of the dress.

Then I chose a floral top that has been around since I am in my Secondary days. I didn't want to keep because the back of the top is full of bobbles, thus making it a little uncomfortable when you are wearing it.

And then the tresses begin. Teeheex. Did some brain storming how to make this dress look wearable and manageable to do even when I am a noob at sewing. Finally came to a conclusion to make it look like a "fake 2-piece", with the white floral top shape like a tube I am wearing over the dress.

Cut out the excess unwanted area of the floral top.

Estimate the approximate position of how I want the it to be and used bob pins to fixed and stablised the position, to ease sewing.

Sewing begins. ^^ 

Was pretty happy to see this colours combination because Blue x White x Pink are not just always my favourite colours, they are my favourite colour combinations. Pretty sure that it is going to turn out what I expected it to be. :D

Was trying to be as accurate and careful with the threads and needles, it ain't an easy job to get them in the position you wanted.

After a good whole 7 hours this is the end product.

Looks much more wearable now. *Proud moment*

Wore the dress out the other day. Though I understand I didn't do a perfect job but I think I did my best, so I was pretty confident when I wore it out. Took quite several pictures of course. 

the Forth of the dress. 

Some side view of the dress.

Whee. Twirling and twirling. Kekex.

Special thanks to Unnie A for helping me with the photos that day. She knows that I would like to post some good pictures of the outcome of the end product I did and gave me all the patience she have that day. :D

Am a happy girl after I manage to turn 2 apparels that I wouldn't wear to something I would now.

Happy thoughts can be so simple, and cost efficient. Hahax.

Alright, the upcoming post would be a collaboration with an overseas online webstore on accessories. Stay tuned...

Signing off,

XOXO

Chapter 8: The Assembly Ground Visit

Danetelle says; 

Always keep in mind, things in your life is never coincidental. Everything happen for a reason. Never greed, never envy; and treasure what you have. For the more you want to grab; you may lose what precious you already have.

Decided to meet my best friend today. Work may have tied us down and commitments may have absorbed us, we still squeezed time to see each other today. *HAPPY*

Was madly perspiring but short after my bus came.

Met for lunch today and we chose the Assembly Ground.

Ambience isn't too bad; Food available definitely is not disappointing. (I promised to get a better camera soon. Pardon my non-HD pictures due to the bad lightings.)

Simple alignments of the tables and chairs. 

For bigger groups.

Just guess which cake caught our attention? 

.

Definitely the Rainbow Cake ($8.90) took our hearts at first sight.

It wasn't very crowded when we visited earlier which I was pretty surprised since today is Saturday; and they surprised me further with the food speedily served shortly after we ordered. *CONFETTIS* 

Gotten the Pulled Pork Pizza ($18.00), Rosti Omelette ($14.50), Green Tea Latte & Hot Chocolate (both at $5.50 each)

Pulled Pork Pizza.

Before we start, a picture with the yums~!

We were not really expecting the food to taste "that" good since they were served so quickly. Surprise surprise! Albeit a good 10 minutes of photo taking before we start to dig in, the course are still warm enough. What's more it is super delicious.

V sure like the Pizza too. :>

Requested our dessert to be served after we efficiently settled the mains.

Mandatory shot before starting. 

It makes me happy even just looking at it. 

V attempt to take close-ups of the cake too, Candidly pretty 有没有?

Definitely would comeback soon for other varieties since it is so conveniently located in The Cathay. In case you are keen where it is the address is;

Tel: +65 67333375

It is pretty early till our movie. Went for some shopping of course. Before that V and I decided to for some modelling. (Kekekeke)

I think she is talented, effortlessly pretty. 

She said she doesn't like this, but I find her so pretty her too.

My outfit : The Closet Lover Far Far Away Floral Dress

Took numerous selfies/wefies on the way too. Haha. Shopping is always fun when your best friend is around.

Accompany V for some Hat shopping and I caught one similar to my dress today.

Can't help taking a selfie with it.

V decided to join me when we saw the full length mirrors.

Roam around town today basically, at a pace so slow, you can actually look at things around so cleary. Feeling so blessed and happy even when I didn't manage to get anything shopping the whole day. Sometimes happiness can just come so easily. A kind of blessing that money could not even buy.

Went on to do something we haven't done for so long --- Our favourite Past-time; Neo-prints.

The outcome was pretty satisfying. (^.^)

Went to get some hand food as our Dinner and headed for our last schedule for today.

Secretly took V when she was waiting for me when we visited the restroom and off to our movies to end our day. 

To my dearest V;

Many times, people says Friends come and go. What I believe in differs from what I often hear. I believe in friendship, it takes 2 hands to clap to. We may be really busy in life, but we should never forget the one that supports you, listens to you, advises you, laughed with you, cried with you besides your closest family, would be your friend. I am really thankful to have known you V. We went through all the ups and downs together. Thank you for being there for me, believing me and remembering me despite being so busy in your life. Cheers for our friendship. I am thankful that you kept the fire of our friendship burning as much as I wanted to keep it. (^.^)

Being grateful is something often people tend to forget. If you can relate, start treasuring and thank the special one for being there for you today.

Off for the movie.

Till the next.

XOXO
