OOTD: Will You Be My Valentine?
Well a belated Valentines everyone! I strongly believe that Valetines is not only for couples. When I was in high school, singles would also celebrate it as Friendship day and give each other flowers so we are never really alone. It is nice! Last year this time, I was single and we celebrated by going out for a good meal. Any reason to eat at all is good!
Valentines is a Monday and I had to work and I don't relish the thought of overcrowded restaurants so I went out the day before. My friends asked me to go out for a Sunday morning breakfast and so I did. It was decadent! To be truthful, I ate my day away literally. Morning breakfast and afternoon tea were courtesy of the friends and dinner was with the Boy. I was very stuffed when the day came to an end!
We were at Jones the Grocer for breakfast.
My best friend whom I've known for 17 years now. Shocking! 
Her adorable son, so tiny and so naughty.
This little girl ran up to him and molested him all over because he was wearing a tshirt that says "I'm Rich!"
Milk Rocky Road, a combination of marshmallows, caramel and violet crumble and milk chocolate
Valentines, not without some heart-shaped objects. These macarons are made of rose, lychee and passionfruit.
Deep fried towered egg with sauce
Thai food is not without a bowl of sweet and sour spicy Tom Yam soup
Barbecued squid with sauce
Deep fried sweet and sour Garoupa with herbsAll these food and I didn't even showed you what I ate for breakfast! A special mention to my cherry earrings which I adore and spent a long time finding. They looked very real and I have people telling me from time to time how delicious they looked hanging from my earlobes!
Review on the ASOS CURVE Exclusive Vintage Inspired Playsuit:The moment I saw it, I knew I had to have it although there are a lot of things that I saw and knew that I had to have. First of all, may I say I love jumpsuits and playsuits? They are like dresses to me - easy to wear, no mix and match required and I am really a boy trapped in a girl's body. I tend to hop and sit cross-legged a lot and dresses are sometimes too inconvenient. This playsuit has the most beautiful plethora of colours. I love the flutter sleeves, the neckline of the playsuit, the slightly ruched bodice and to top the cake, there is a lovely cutout behind the playsuit. Now in our hot summer weather, I appreciate cutouts like these to be cool and in all sense of the word, this is a perfect playsuit! When it arrived, the material was thin but I didn't feel that it is inferior because the material is meant to be thin and cooling. The floral prints are absolutely gorgeous and the bottom flares outwards so I can fit into my usual size 22 with ease. The only thing that I did wish for was for it to be
a little longer. In its current length, I cannot bend down without exposing my rump for the world to see. But other than that, perfect perfect perfect! Very true to size and a well-loved piece to pass the hottest summer days with ease.
Bowdicts for the ASOS CURVE Exclusive Vintage Inspired Playsuit:
I still gave it a full 5 bows even though I wish it was slightly longer. I think I should have expected it to be short from the pictures on the website.

OOTD: ASOS Curve Peter Pan Dress
I've been overwrought with jealousy upon seeing
Topshop's array of Peter Pan collared blouses.
ASOS had also been coming up with a fair amount of droolworthy Peter Pan tops and dresses but the only one they've made for the Curve nation is the
embellished one which I wasn't really interested in. How is that fair? The Curve nation has every right to Peter Pan collars and scallop hem shorts!
When ASOS Curve finally came up with the
Peter Pan Collar Jersey Dress, I knew this was the moment - the moment the Curve nation had been waiting for to snatch this up and I did too, in two colours because I simply couldn't decide which!
The funny thing is shortly after I took these pictures with my lace parasol bought from Beijing, I saw ASOS selling the
same type of parasol in white! I bought mine at one-fifth its price so I am feeling this odd kind of satisfaction!
Verdict on the ASOS Curve Peter Pan Collar Jersey Dress:I bought my usual size 22 and the first immediate thought is
you can size down! And not just by one size. I am fairly confident of being able to fit 2 sizes down. The blouson sleeves were kind of airy instead of fitted and the waist was simply big for me. If I didn't belt it up, it looked kind of matronly on me. There is a button at the back collar which is there for you to undo if you need to fit your head in and it keeps falling out. However a cute dress is a cute dress, after I made the necessary adjustments to belt it, it looked much better and I love that it is knee-length on me because I can twirl in this! The boss told me I looked 1950s and I educated him on what Peter Pan collars are. Someone told me I looked like a schoolgirl which in
his definition is a good thing because men like to think of schoolgirls in the most inappropriate manner. Another someone told me I looked pretty in which I told him "Always", earning a thumbs up for my confidence. The material is very soft and comfortable and I felt really happy in it the entire day.

OOTD: No Snow Can Wear Beret?
I shall declare that this is one of my finest, most inspired moment just yet. I usually go for the soft feminine look, one that echoes my romantic inclination and a minimalistic approach to accessorizing because I believe "less is more".
However, I am a little jealous of all you people who get to layer in the cold, wear luxuriously soft coats and don on colourful leggings even if I do not envy how cold it can get. Singapore had been sporting a surprisingly cool weather and little sun and by cool, I mean it is still about 25 - 27 degrees celsius but comparing it to its usual 32 - 33 degrees all year round, this is winter for us and as good as it can get! So out comes my beret for some action. About 3 - 4 years ago, I wore berets frequently like a second skin and no one could understand this act of oddity in a climate like ours. I outgrew it and stored them away but seeing so much snow in all the blog posts made me dig it out again to relieve a moment of the past.
But of course sad lonely Murphy decided to intervene and made the day
especially bright and sunny so while I look like a fool sporting a knitted beret and a cardigan to lunch, the lighting was great and it was well-worth the amount of sweat I had to endure for the latter part of the day.
Without further ado, I present to you - the Purplish Pink Leopard!
I wrenched the leopard print cardigan away from its rack the moment I spotted it. I do so want a leopard print cardigan in beige like the
one H&M had awhile ago but it hasn't found its way into my life yet. For those who are freezing out there, hope the pictures of sunshine bring to you some warm memories of the past.

OOTD: Eddie's Wedding
This is my first time having a full 8 course wedding lunch and the man of the show is Eddie who had come a long way in Love and finally receive the bliss he deserved.
The groom and the bride - Eddie and Lydia.
C'est moi, at the lobby of the Grand Hyatt. 
I fell in love with the bag the first time I saw it but I wasn't quite sure if it is to be black or red but lobbied for the red in the end. It is furry, very roomy and if you believe it, I even put in a pair of high heels that I wanted to wear but couldn't. 
You might have remembered the necklace from here.
Do you see my reflection in the shiny balls?
Greta and I.
The beautiful fir tree at P.S. Cafe was adorned with pretty little butterflies.
Had a cup of tea before heading home after the wedding lunch.
I have another wedding to attend to next Sunday and funny thing is that the colour combination that I intend to wear is exactly the same as what I wore for this wedding lunch, even the accessories I want to use are the same!
Verdict for
ASOS Curve Tiered Pleated Rara Skirt:
I have plenty of good things to say about this
ASOS Curve Tiered Pleated Rara Skirt. It makes me feel delicately feminine and the pleated tiers do their jobs of giving me a swooooosh when I move. My friends love the skirt on me and it is very easy to match. More often, people think it is a formal type of skirt, great for dinners and events but I would have no qualms pairing this up with t-shirts too! I sized up and now the waistband felt a little loose on me but nothing a few stitches cannot fix. It is the perfect skirt and I want to wear it over and over again. It is a little heavy because of the tiers though.
