A Little Out of the Ordinary

October 17, 2010 by Regina Chow 2 Comments
Yes, I’m finally back in the sunny island after close to two weeks in Austria. Before I get down to blogging about one of my favourite countries on this globe, here’s an outfit shot that I took some time back.

Some of you may recall that I purchased this pair of towering platforms a while ago. Here, I paired it with a slouchy beige minimalist top with black high waist pants, not my usual style, but I figured it doesn’t hurt to be more adventurous sometimes.

Jimbaran Bay

October 16, 2010 by Regina Chow 4 Comments
I was told that everyone should visit Jimbaran Bay to catch the beautiful sunset, albeit in the company of overpriced seafood. Unfortunately, the latter was true but the former was not. I didn’t think much of the sunset nor the seafood . My travel companions shared the same view and we all agreed that we probably should have headed down to Rock Bar instead.

Nonetheless, it’s the company that matters and we still had fun camwhoring while munching on our less than satisfactory dinner.

That being said, if you ever head to Bali, I would suggest that you try the grilled corn found at local pushcarts. They’re marinated in local spices and absolutely tantalizing to the taste buds.
As the adage goes, a picture says a thousand words.

Thank goodness we had these flavourful corn cobs to fill our tummies!

Divine Wonderland

October 16, 2010 by Regina Chow No Comments
Given my lack of enthusiasm for the sun and sea, much of our time in Bali was spent shopping and chilling out at quaint little cafes. One of my favourite cafes in Bali is Divine Wonderland, a quiet respite nestled amidst the hustle and bustle of the Seminyak district.

As the name suggests, this is a cafe/bar inspired by Alice in Wonderland. It is a cafe by day and a bar by night, so travellers have the privilege of popping by at any time of the day.

The French Baroque theme is prevalent in the interior design of this hidden treasure. The deep red walls, contrasted with floral baroque styled wallpaper and cascading curtains, lend a warm and cozy feel to the atmosphere.

Highlights of the cafe include the oversized upholstered armchairs and the collection of queer but nevertheless artistic paintings selectively placed on the walls.

What fun it was to be transported to another realm, a surreal fantasy world, complete with yummy milkshakes and fantastic photo-taking opportunities.

And of course, who could forget the obligatory shot with the oversized armchair?
Divine Wonderland is definitely worth a visit if you love quirky cafes and Alice in Wonderland. πŸ™‚

Bali – Prelude

October 5, 2010 by Regina Chow 2 Comments
I’ve never been much of a sun and sea person. I don’t know how to swim because I have a phobia of water. I also try to avoid the sun to prevent pigmentation, though it doesn’t seem to work given that Singapore is sunny all year round.

I reckon I must be one of the few Singaporeans who have never been to beach resorts in Bali or Phuket, so for once, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and venture into the unknown with two other girlfriends in tow. Having amassed a sizable collection of bikinis over the past 6 months (erm..yes…vanity knows no boundaries), I figured it was also about time to put my collection to good use.

Arrival at Ranadi Villa@Seminyak

We had lunch at Warung Made, a restaurant that serves traditional Balinese food. I have recently developed a penchant for Indonesian food and its flavourful taste so this was quite the perfect joint for me.


Staying in a villa also meant that we could chill in the comfort of our very own private pool at any time of the day. There we were, frolicking in the pool and engaging in heart to heart conversations. This was a soul-searching trip for us in more ways than one, and I am glad it brought us even closer than we already were.

Ribbon Frenzy

I apologize for not updating the Shopping Queen Haven’s Shop, much to the disappointment of loyal customers who have since become friends. There are just too many things to juggle simultaneously and I need a little time to prioritize my goals.

Nonetheless, here’s a cute little dress that I’ll like to share with you girls. I only have one piece up for sale so it’s pretty exclusive!

Whimsical Pleasures

September 18, 2010 by Regina Chow 4 Comments
Here’s a casual outfit that I put together for a lunch date with the other half. It is whimsical and unexpected, with a touch of girlish fun.
I’ve been on a shoe craze lately. Being attracted to shoes of various styles means that I have numerous options as well as temptations.

Here’s a close-up of the shoes:

It’s probably the most frivolous pair in my cabinet, but I am amazed by how exudes both femininity and wackiness at the same time. I love how it It adds that little bit of spunk to my wardrobe. πŸ˜‰

Invasion of the Maxi Dress

September 1, 2010 by Regina Chow 6 Comments
Nowadays, whenever I can’t decide what to wear, I’ll slip into a maxi dress.
This black maxi dress is my current favourite. I like how it looks with my vintage bow necklace from Dustbunny Vintage. This, to me, is simplicity at its best.

What are your thoughts? πŸ™‚

Maxi Dresses

August 29, 2010 by Regina Chow 2 Comments

I’ve been pretty busy these days and I haven’t had much time to put together my photos so here’s just a simple outfit post for your viewing pleasure. πŸ˜‰

Maxi dresses have always been an integral part of my wardrobe. They’re so easy to slip on and can easily be transformed from beach wear to evening wear with a quick change of footwear and accessories. Here’s a very casual military green maxi dress that I wore to Sushi’s dinner gathering recently:
Have a great Sunday babes!

Akashi

August 22, 2010 by Regina Chow No Comments
It has been a while since I met up with Karen and Sushi, so we arranged to meet for lunch at Akashi. Akashi is one of my favourite Japanese restaurants, among a string of others including Nanbantei and Santouka (thanks to Jo for the recommendation).
Akashi also offers a seasonal selection of sashimi which is not on the menu. I’ve tried the baby red snapper sashimi, which JW absolutely loves. The sashimi is so thinly sliced and the portion is so meagre that I can’t imagine forking out $40 just for a plate of this, but the meat is so fresh and sweet it’ll leave you begging for more.
Alas, we didn’t have sashimi that day, but we did have a sumptuous spread nevertheless!

We did some shopping at Marc by Marc Jacobs before we parted ways. Unfortunately, we forgot to take a group photo but Karen and I took some outfit shots:

Looking forward to meeting the girls again! Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
