Colour Me Happy

by cecylia on December 12, 2011

Hello lovelies! Hope you just had a brilliant weekend! Thank you for your well-wishes for my travels and for keeping in touch via Facebook and Twitter. I got back last Friday, worked as a vet on the weekend and in the wee hours of the night, managed to get this post ready for you as Part One of our holiday shenanigans in Singapore. Here are the first 3 days which consisted of meeting our beloved friends, boutiques, eateries and painting the town red, or should I say, in rainbow hues!

Outfit: Arnsdorf top, Edenborough Evans necklace, vintage necklace, belt and bag, Sophia Kokosalaki skirt (from Paris 99), Repetto shoes

I could not believe my ears when I heard that the ultimate Designer Vintage Sale was on again when we arrived! This was the place I scored the vintage Christian Dior set. Can’t wait to show you what I acquired this time :) Here I’m posing with Cary, the buyer of the biannual vintage heaven, carrying luxe ostritch pouches. They have every designer label under the sun, you can spend hours searching for beautiful mens and womenswear.

Another treat on our first day, was having dinner with the owner and founder of alldressedup, Tina Tan-Leo. She embodies style, glamour, intelligence and determination, is a successful entrepreneur and a beloved mother. To be taken out to dinner by a lady who I deeply admire was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.


Outfit: Miss Sixty Tee, vintage sunnies, earrings, shorts and bag, Ninja shoes

The highlight of Day 2 was meeting Singapore-based street-style blogger Viona Wang. The young and talented Economics graduate recently won a 3 months internship via Uniqlo with Elle.com in New York. Viona recommended that we visit Parco Next Next at Millenia Walk so we can check out the creative den of Singapore’s hottest emerging designers. So next I’ll show you one of my spoils…

Outfit: cousin’s cap, vintage earrings, top, Roopa Pemmaraju silk necklace, Felder Felder skirt, Jump from Paper Bonjour bagRepetto shoes

Don’t you just adore nouveau designs? My giggles turned into unstoppable laughter when I saw this 2D bag posing as a 3D creation. How could I resist a bag that also worked my abs? Even the front pockets are real! It’s by a Taiwan label Jump from Paper, aren’t their bags phenomenal?!

Our time in Singapore was incredible. Spending time with family and friends were unsurpassable, even eating and shopping could not compare! I must admit, wearing all the colours of the rainbow also upped the joy ratings of the holidays. I am so thankful for the adventures, the memories and you, with whom I can share all of this with.

And last but not least, the ShoeSales.com.au gift-away has closed, the winner has been contacted and those beauties are heading your way darling girl! Stay tuned for the new gift-away this Friday!

Love always, Cecylia

Sponge Bob Square Pants

by cecylia on November 23, 2011


A while back I found this yellow Equipment shirt in the local op shop and started laughing out loud because I have a pair of cotton shorts (not Equipment) at home in the EXACT SAME HUE. Was really tempted to wear it like a jumpsuit for you but thought I might look like a banana, next time, maybe…I love Equipment, founded by Christian Restoin (Carine’s partner) in 1975, is one of the first shirt companies that made menswear for women! Equipment is now backed by hip denim label Current/Elliott who relaunched the label last year and together, they are bringing sexy shirts back. You may recall my cropped pink wool top I wore under a maxi recently? See here, that’s a vintage Equipment top too.

Outfit: vintage straw hat, sunnies and earrings, vintage Equipment shirt, Mimco necklace, Natalia Brilli leather urchin necklace (last seen on my styling work here), gifted Felder Felder bracelet, vintage bracelet, MAWI ring, vintage Gucci bag, vintage shorts, Repetto Mila pumps (last seen here)

My dear dear hubby (Creator and photographer of my blog) gave me this Mimco necklace 4 years ago and can you believe I’ve NEVER worn it! Shame on me! Another accessory I’ve never worn is this adorable pink leather bracelet the Felder Felder girls made especially for me. They made me this orange belt as well. The hip London duo usually only make accessories in darker colours but they made these for me because of my ‘sunny disposition’ :)

Oh, there is still time to enter the Edenborough Evans Double Ring Give-Away!

Craving Cardona Bonache

by cecylia on September 28, 2011


I can only imagine your pupils dilate and the sheer amazement on your face when you see these pieces, because they are pretty much the same feelings I had when I laid eyes on this amazing collection, designed by Cardona Bonache. This is their 3rd collection, or ‘lesson’, as Mr Cardona and Mr Bonache calls. These photos were taken at Paris Fashion Week last year in September, when I went to visit the Felder Felder twins. This show room housed some seriously hip designers, Alexander Wang was on the floor below. Each season, the Spanish duo creates a collection based on a couture tailoring technique. They define, explore, and translate the idea, the technique into real wearable garments. For their SS11 collection, ‘Bellows‘, the boys created symmetrical pleats and folds and developed stiff and shiny fabrics which retained the bellows even when worn. In couture, a ‘bellow’ is a side fold consisting of 2 parallel fabric folds used to increase depth, its function is to create volume and generate movement in garments. I was so tempted to order the entire collection but in the end I chose the shoes- in cream. And I’ve been waiting for my shoes to arrive so I could post this up. But to this day, I am still waiting for them…Perhaps they have been forgotten, folded away, somewhere…

Outfit: vintage silk blouse, Karla Spetic wool skirt, Miu Miu jacket/dress, Jil Sander patent sandals.

How have you all been? I’ve been a little out of photographic action due to a viral assault, I promise as soon as I get better, I will get out and get some outfit photos for you. Until then, virtual hugs and kisses!

BMW Caulfield Cup Carnival Gala Launch

by cecylia on September 2, 2011

A few nights ago I had the privelege of attending the Gala Launch of the 2011 BMW Caulfield Cup. What a night! I must ‘fess up, I’m a Races virgin so when they asked me to be a fashion blogger for the events, I almost cried tears of joy! Because I’ve never been before (shock horror, I know!) I have so much to learn about the Races, the attire and etiquette, I think the research is half of the fun!

The Carnival Ambassador of 2011 BMW Caulfield Cup Giaan Rooney, looking demure in Carla Zampatti and Channel Nine’s Cam Williams hosted the fashion extravaganza and introduced the key jokeys, horses and looks for the Races this year.

The gorgeous designers of Reverie- Christina and Emma (both in Reverie) and their beautiful dress for the Races. Emma made the headpiece herself! Love love love these girls. Reverie is one of the very few Melbourne labels whose pieces are all made in Melbourne with impeccable quality but are also very reasonably priced. I adore their silk shirts and dresses.

Two unexpected Races looks captured my heart! I love seeing untraditional looks and cannot wait to sport the lady-like tux and the high-waisted pants ensembles for the races! Everyone will be frocked up, so why not dare with Le Smoking?

Bree Laughlin -Face of Caulfield winner, and a stunner!

Delectable desserts!

The dress code tonight was Cocktail with a touch of Spring. I opted for a Country Road cocktail dress (last seen here), vintage fur cape (last seen here), vintage necklace (last seen here), a leather belt the FelderFelder twins made especially for me (one of my most treasured accessories), Alannah Hill head piece (last seen here), Escada clutch (purchased that morning at ML Vintage), a Paula Walden piano cocktail ring (last seen here) and Miss Sixty wedges (last seen here).

Are you going to the Races? Have you started planning your outfits? I’m here if you would like any suggestions for your outfit to look even more fabulous on the day.

What are you all doing this weekend? I’ll be working as a vet, catching up with girlfriends, attending the Shanghai Tea party at Oriental Tea House and celebrating Father’s Day! Have an amazing weekend everyone!
