Chanel Ribbon Necklace

I hate to admit this, my heart does not wander far from Chanel accessories.

So bite me.

Out goes the books, in comes a shopping session at Chanel.

Late last year, I was pondering for a super long time whether I should get the clover necklace. A season later, the clover craze was made famous by SJP…

Needless to say. The day the clover necklace was re-launched (I stepped into the shop a day earlier! And the SA said they have no idea if it was coming back! BOOO!), it was sold out.

I have since lost interest in the clover necklace.

I have, however, developed a love for its counterpart. The ribbon necklace.

It’s pretty ain’t it?

BLING! I like. Keke…

Happy happy weekend!

Chanel Love Day 8

The last of our Chanel totes is this Grey Reissue.

I blogged about this in a previous post but never got around to write about it.

This lady comes in matte grey, size 2.7. Being petite, I can’t carry off a black 2.7. Instead, 2.7 in grey looks more proportionate on my frame.

Love the quilt… Don’t ya?

As usual this lady bears a reissue lock. It comes in silver hardware.

It is definitely more spacious than my 2.55 in size 2.6.

Have a happy mid week! =)

David and Yan’s Wedding

I admit… I haven’t been hardworking to blog new stuff of late. My brain has been pretty occupied with manipulating matrices, visualising angles, and counting numbers.

Pretty nerdy stuff.

But the end is near, and celebratory mood is about to kick it. Till the next round of madness that is.

So to begin that craze, here are some photos that I took with my friends during a church wedding a month ago.

It was a day that felt more like church friends reunion than a church wedding.

Pardon the low quality photos, taken by my Iphone as I didn’t want to squeeze the camera into my sister’s precious Chanel.

Eileen and her baby! Eileen go way back with my sister. She is a great sister and leader who inspires.

Behold the pretty bridesmaid, Chai Ling. Chai and I go way back where we sqaubble with our youth members over the most nonsensical stuff. She’s definitely one of the prettiest counsellor there is.

You know how people often say… 女大十八变? This surely describes my best pal’s younger sister, Adeline.

The wedding took 2 hours, and by the time the dinner had ended, I was pretty much low on energy…  A quick re-route to Cold Creamery @ HV fixed my need for sugar.

What I wore… Topshop tank with Bysi skirt and burgundy Chanel. Seen here with my own East-West Chanel instead.

Lol what a difference lighting makes for photo snapping on the Iphone.

Happy weekend everyone!

Grey Chanel Reissue

I took my sister’s grey Chanel reissue out on a shopping trip.

What I wore: Ferragamo hairband in black, sheer top by mink pink, ribbon pearl ring, blue scarf by promod, zara tights and grey Chanel reissue.

Jelly Flats

Forgive me, it is yet another blog about my shoe purchase!!!

I’m really excited about this find. I truly am.

I’ve fallen in love with my sister’s Chanel jewelled jelly flats that she bought in 2008. (SHHHH. Don’t tell her if not she’ll boast to me again!) Despite the exorbitant price, I think it’s a fantastic  purchase. This season Chanel came up with a similar jelly flats, but it wasn’t too fantastic. To my dismay, it looks kinda fake.

This is my sister’s Chanel jewelled jelly flats that I’ve since taken pride in wearing it frequently.

And this is Chanel’s jelly flats 2010.

And this is my recent purchase from Tod’s …

I like I like! It was the last pair in my size. =) And it is actually affordable! It ain’t priced at $500 bucks. Thank God!

I know what some of you may be thinking… Who in the sane mind buys jelly flats!!!! Afterall, they are just made up of plastic.

Well, in tropical Singapore where it frequently rains at the drop of a hat, I’ll say that owing a pair of jelly flats is practical. And who can resist such pretty jelly flats!!!

This ends my quest for jelly sandals. =D Happy happy!

Gusttimo with Brian

Say hello to my friend, Brian, whom I haven’t met in 3 years!

We go way back when I was an exchange student in Winnipeg. We used to chill out - literally - in icy cold Manitoba. He was one of the funny guys whom I enjoyed talking with, because he never runs out of conversations.

I recall ’stunning’ his alarm clock for the good 4 months, because I had ditched mine in Singapore. And I recall us talking about the rivalry between a dog called Mee Pok and a cat called Meowmee on the day of my departure.

Well fast forward 3 years, and look at Brian! All grown up and way much slimmer than before. Good job!

So being a good host =D , I took him around one of Singapore’s latest shopping mall Ion. We had ice-cream at Gusttimos and chatted for some time.

I swear this is going to be my favourite ice-cream parlour in Singapore for as long as they have green apple ice-cream. My face totally lit up the moment I savoured the sourness of the ice-cream.

Heaven.

I know what you are thinking. Who in the right mind loves to eat green apple. It is so freaking sour! Well…  my favourite drink - besides Canadian ice wine - is green apple juice. I love the sourness with a tinge of sweetness. It makes my digestive system tickle with glee.

The green apple ice-cream was like sherbet but even better. I mixed that sour green apple flavour with my all-time love hazelnut and chocolate ice-cream and even it out with sweet mango flavour.

I’m definitely going to eat the same 3 flavours on my next visit.

Even my 2.55 loves the ice-cream parlour!

Thereafter, we walked around the shops in Ion. However, I didn’t think he was as much of a shoppaholic as I am; so, I took him to the food court to try out one of Ion’s best snacks… Takoyaki! No visitor in Singapore can leave without indulging in our favourite pass time - eating.

As much as I do think that nothing beats eating Takoyaki in Japan; this takoyaki stall sells the best takoyaki in Singapore.

Brian liked it!

So did I!

Before I knew it, it was time to say goodbye again. Ah, good times surely flies.

Have a safe trip Brian!

300 post - Loving my CC ring.

Hooray to 300! Yeap folks, today marks my 300th blog entry. Just want to thank everyone for reading my blog and showering me with your love. =)

What a feat. I know I haven’t been the most consistent blogger on this planet, jumping from genre to genre. But I’ve since found what I truly love to blog about - Chanel, friends, my nieces, and just about daily life.

I haven’t summed the courage to blog about my daily outfits (with only me, myself and my camera). But I’ll get to that someday.

Meanwhile, hooray to 300! And to celebrate it, here’s what I got =)

Some say, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. I’ll say, “So is Chanel”.

I’m really excited to add this little pretty thing to my collection of Chanel accessories. I haven’t had the opportunity to wear it yet. It is too bling to be worn to work! On the hindsight, it does make a delightful cocktail ring.

On the last trip, I also got my Tsarina ring fixed!

Oh yes, I have a good piece of news to tell you folks. Singapore’s store is now carrying a brand new Tsarina ring. I’m starting to think that it is never impossible to find something that has been sold out because the Chanel stores seem to be buying from one another.

Another good piece of news worthy to be shared. I have crossed over to being a car owner. It sure is costly to own a piece of structured metal that runs on wheels.

Cheers to my CCs, car and 300 posts!

Happy week everyone!!

River Hong Bao

2 weeks ago, I went house visiting with my JC friends. It saddens me that more of my classmates are opting out of such gatherings due to their tight schedules.

But I had fun with those that turned up. Even though there were only 3 of us… Plus two other halves.

We headed to the river hong pao. Which is an annual affair organised to coincide with the Chinese New Year festive. I buzzed around the theme park and slurped up the energy.

2 full months without a tinge of eye make up!

My good pals Mingren (a boss!) and Shan (bride-to-be!). I wore blue layered dress with a sweetheart neckline, 2.55 and a necklace purchased from Japan.

So many people! Thankfully it was not too squeezey.

We made it to the floating platform! It ain’t my first time stepping on this ground, but I like the experience anyway.

Alright I admit, I did gain a little weight from the munching of CNY goodies. But I’ve since lost the weight gain after going on a no rice and plenty of 100 plus diet. I heart my red nail polish.

My favourite part was the carnival. I have no guts to take the thriller ride, but I could tell that my dear pal was all ready to head on board.

Sorry for the rain stains. I have no idea that my camera was so dirty.

Thereafter we took a long stroll to chill at Esplanade Drive.

I really love the scenery.

And the structure that stood in the rain and sun…

Showcasing my beloved 2.55 once more.

I say aye aye. I love my 2.55 so.

Happy week everybody!

Chanel Love Day 7

If you have noticed, I have alternated the bags - first day is my sister’s, the next is mine - for the Chanel Love Day blogs. For the next two posts, I will be showing you my sister’s Chanel.

The least familiar Chanel bag in this house to me is this jumbo black classic flap in caviar. My sister rarely takes it out for a stroll and its snoozing cozily in the attic - don’t get me wrong; my sister lives on the highest floor, aka the attic.

She is cavier black, extremely sturdy and tough.

The interlocking CC is similar to my East-West.  She comes in silver hardware with intertwined leather.

The inner compartments.

I think this is one of the first few Chanels that my sister bought, but she rarely uses it. Perhaps it is because she is bulkier than her sisters.

But we love her no less. =)

Happy Birthday!

Hello! It is my birthday today. =)

To celebrate this day, this is what I got myself…

A red chanel wallet on chain.

Pretty ain’t it? Shipped from US. My sister got one as well.

Heading for Lasik tomorrow, and will only put up the Chanel posts later.

For now, cheers to being one year older and wiser.
