We got up bright and early (by my standards) to crack our brains as to where we should go for lunch. Shashilik would always be our first choice because this restaurant holds so many fond memories of our early dating days and I absolutely adore their Baked Alaska dessert! Alas, the restaurant only serves their signature dessert on certain days, so we had to give it a miss. That said, I really need my Baked Alaska fix soon!

Here’s my outfit for the day.

As we were at Chip Bee Gardens, Michelangelo’s was a natural choice.

When I told my other half that I wanted to take a photo of him, he immediately broke into a pose.

Yes, that’s him, crappy as always. He has been very busy lately, so it was wonderful that we were able to spend some quality time together.

We first started dating on 5th July eons ago. The amazing thing is, our relationship gets better as we age, just like good wine. As with all other couples, we have our differences. However, these differences add dimension to our relationship and are complementary to our similarities, however few similarities there are between us. 🙂

He is everything that I am not, but that is precisely why I love him.

Sequins are so glamorous and glitzy, they make you feel like a star. Certainly, gone are the days when sequins are only reserved for the cabaret. Now, anyone can wear sequins with elegance and grace. I myself have at least 5 sequin pieces in my ever-expanding wardrobe!

Lace is one of my favourite fabrics because of its versatility and the different styles that it is capable of portraying.

It can be fresh, flirty and feminine, just like D&G’s Spring Collection for 2011:

It can also be dark, edgy and mysterious, as depicted in Valentino’s Fall 2011 Collection:

Whichever style you choose, it is without a doubt that lace is the quintessential fabric for all seasons.

If you recall, I did my take on the fresh, feminine style some weeks ago here.

Now, here’s my take on the darker, edgier style. I should have changed into a fiercer pair of heels before I rushed out of my house. That would have made the look more complete, don’t you think?

Colour blocking is the only way to wear bright candy colours this season. If clashing primary colours like red and blue are too much for you, try matching them with their subtler counterparts, pastels.

Here, I decided to pair green with orange and large doses of pastel pink to neutralize the brightness of the colour palette and yet preserve the essence of colour blocking.

This was the very outfit that I wore to the “Style: It Wild” event at Shanghai Dolly that Karen invited me to. Karen was in a lovely corset that was befitting for the event, which was meant to be a showcase for several lingerie labels. It was a pity I didn’t know beforehand that it was a lingerie show, for I would’ve turned up in one of my corsets too!

We were featured on Lifestyleasia.com too. 🙂 Many thanks to the lovely photographer!
