And now, here’s my take on pastels. I never thought that candy colours like pastel green and pastel pink would go well together.
I paired the outfit with cute pastle green ribbon peeptoes from Mondo (which was a steal at only $23.90!), and my new vintage Aigner straw bag from Dustbunny Vintage.

Now you girls can go uncover some gems!!
We haven’t met in a long time but like good old friends, we just picked up from where we left off. It was quite amazing because our conversation just flowed for hours on end while the food and drinks kept coming.
Time passed so quickly that within the blink of an eye, it was time for us to head back as all the shops were closed!
And finally, here’s my outfit for the day. A simple white eyelet dress with a light denim jacket.
Have a pleasant weekend ahead!
This particular dress, which I wore for the first day of CNY, caught my eye because of its origami inspired design and the cute embroidered sparrows sprinkled all over. It looks almost like a painting, don’t you think? The well cut silhouette accentuates the female form, making this the perfect alternative to a cheongsam.
Two days ago, I had my reunion dinner with my in-laws at Dian Xiao Er, one of my favourite mid-tier Chinese restaurants. In line with the festive cheer, I threw on a tangerine ruffled dress to partake in the season’s festivities!
If you ever head down to Dian Xiao Er, be sure to try the flavourful duck and crispy cod fish as these are highly raved dishes that you won’t want to miss.
Most of my girlfriends fear their in-laws, especially their MILs because of their supposedly nitpicking ways and unreasonable behaviour. I have to count my blessings because my in laws are some of the most understanding people in the world and I look up to them as role models in many ways.

I have a soft spot for bows and ruffles, which can be a little over the top sometimes if you’re not careful.
Here, I tried to strike a balance by pairing my pretty floral bow top (it’s a reversible top with a cat print behind!) with simple white ruffled shorts for running errands on a weekend.
Love it? Hate it? I’ll love to hear from you!
Sushi and Daryl spent a lot of effort decorating their place with balloons and banners for the party. And my my.. all the little cupcakes and cookies in the shape of prams set our hearts fluttering!
At S$2.50 (most paos are only about S$0.80), this pao had better be good! The bun was fluffy and of just the right density while the red bean filling was very smooth with just a hint of sweetness. I liked it very much!
The only grouse that I have about Forty Hands is the lack of non-caffeinated drinks on its menu. I can’t take coffee, and the only non-caffeinated drink it serves is hot chocolate, which is way too sweet when paired with tau sar pao.
Finally, here’s what I wore that day. A simple pink rosette top from F21 and green bow shorts.
Now, it does appear that I like all things wild, such as Wild Honey and more recently, Wild Rocket (Haha what were you thinking?!?).
The restaurant serves, in its owner’s own words, Mod Sin (i.e. modern Singaporean) cuisine. The menu here is refreshingly different from other run of the mill restaurants as it is infused with a mesh of western and Singaporean influences.
We were there just a couple of weeks back (after lunch at Marmalade Pantry!) to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we loved everything that we had (we took the 4 course degustation menu) except for the dessert, which was a little too funky for me at least.
I was most impressed with our first course. I had linguine with salted fish, and believe me, it tasted way more heavenly than it sounds.
Finally, here’s what I wore that day – a beautiful dress from Dustbunny Vintage.
This was the time of the year when we all played the role of santa claus, distributing presents to each and everyone early in the morning. It was a sight to behold. Imagine receiving presents in place of work files on your desk!
