Good day fashionistas! How has your week been?
I just want to take the time to thank you for reading my blog and thank you for all of your sweet and constructive comments! *Big kisses*
There is a bit of history with my pearl pouch necklace- it was a birthday gift from a dear friend of mine over 10 years ago. Back then, I had no idea what to do with it and nearly gave it away. But thank God I didn’t because now I don’t want it to leave my neck! Thanks June! You’re so ahead :)
The ‘Memory’journey skirt – I long to go on a road trip so I can wear it on a highway. Until then… I still get a kick out of it everytime I wear this incredibly beautiful skirt by one of my favourite Australian designers, Karla Spetic. This printed skirt is by her as well.

Remember I went to a vintage designer sale in Singapore? The place was a few doors down from where we stayed and I could not believe my blessings when I realized they only hold this designer treasure trove once a year and we managed to be there just in time!
One of my spoils from there was a vintage Christian Dior skirt suit. It is one of the original models, the classic Dior silhouette. The peachy pink suit is lined in silk and made in Paris. Ah, they don’t make clothes like they used to! Christian Dior was a master at creating shapes and silhouettes that gives his models a curvaceous form.
I modernized it by teaming it up with black leggings and my new Lanvin heels. These sculptured beauties were a splurge from Christine, on Flinders Lane. I bought these the same time I got the Sonia Rykiel pumps. I remember walking into the store and asking the sales assistant to bring me all the Lanvin heels in 38, they were majorly on sale. They are from Fall 2009, a whole year ago but I love them regardless of the season from which they came. I love suede and the heels of these pumps are mad! Wearing 2 of my favourite vintage necklaces. The heart one, according to Christine, is a vintage YSL and the chunky pearls are my perennial favourite.
What’s the favourite vintage piece you own?

I am an avid food fan and buffets really lure me in. Recently I visited the Crown Conservatory. They have very fresh sea food and charming desserts. As you will later see, I totally over-indulged in dinner and had to loosen my snake-skin belt.
I opted for a sweet white minidress, suede wedges, these are my most comfortable shoes to date. I have stood in them for 12 hours and they will provide ample support. I made my jade-pearl-onyx beaded necklace the night before. My snake skin belt was a vintage souvenir from Berne, Switzerland, and the Bally bag, a vintage souvenir from Spitalfields, London.

This is my big watch- all the better for me to tell the time. A recent thrift find.
This was my 1st course. I really piled it up. Told you I was a glutton. The food is so fresh, waiters remove all food after a certain time. The oysters were delicious too.
Beautiful desserts – tarts, cheesecakes, meringues, lemon tart, mousse, jelly and cakes. I was in sweet heaven.
