I am a huge vintage lover. Growing up, I couldn’t afford designer pieces, so I became a big vintage hoarder. I still have so many vintage garments and accessories I haven’t worn. Like this blue plastic beaded necklace. I knew I’d wear it one day, and after 5 years, it’s finally sitting on my neck. If my clothes, shoes and accessories had feelings, they’d probably have depression because I barely pay them any attention. I’m so sorry darlings!
Necklace, ring, watch and Top: vintage
Skirt: Felder Felder
Raspberry and white chocolate cupcakes?
Lately I’ve been eating cake everyday. I had chocolate mud cake when my Mother-in-Law and Auntie visited. The next day we had green tea cake for Grandpa’s birthday. The day after, I had orange flour-less cake from Grapeseed (my favourite cafe on High St, Armadale) for breakfast. The day after that, Mom bought me more Orange cake and the day after that I had lemon cheesecake from my Mother-in-law.
I’m completely caked out. Please come and rescue me from the cupcakes! I refuse to eat the left-overs now. My clothes are going to rip!

When our boutique opened, friends and family flocked for a little party. There were lots of finger food, beautiful conversations and warm memories from that night. It was so sweet to see so much support from our loved ones.
This is Jin – my lovely graphic designer who designed our shop logo, see here. You will see that she has incorporated the cupcake, the bow as well as coat hangers onto our frame. These embody ‘sweet, chic, boutique.’
Jin is so sweet she even got me a celebratory cupcake, even though we had gorgeous ones made by Cupcake Central.
The icing is the same colour as my jacket! I ate it in 2 bites.
Jin’s admiring the light shoulder pads in a Felder Felder bodycon dress.
Here is the beautiful Vicki. You would have seen here on this post.
Here I am delivering an emotional thank-you speech to family and friends. I’m wearing a navy jumpsuit I got from Paris, vintage brooch and Zara blazer.
Jin’s amazing big bag is a vintage find. Vicki snatched up a beautiful silk clutch from Alldressedup that night. Our boutique would not be alive without the love and support of our friends. I love you all!

Here I am striking a pose in the shop with my friend the ever-stylish Roger Ouk – designer of Thyvane. I’m wearing an intricately created Felder Felder sequin dress called “Victory” and holding a Cupcake Central red velvet cupcake.

Since our boutique was just ‘born’ and we are taking baby steps to establish her on High St Armadale, it is only fitting that we start with regular supplies of baby cupcakes for our High Tea cafe. We are delighted to stock beautiful baby cupcakes made freshly daily by Cupcake Central. Here are the vanilla cupcakes. They’re perfect for a sweet treat!
