little black dress .. so Audrey

This week at work had left me feeling super anxious with brief moments of hyperventilation.
Sometimes, i felt like i was holding my breath and forgot to breathe...
I am delighted with the new found responsibilities, yet there are times where i feel that i really do have to much on my plate. This week has gone by so quickly because i am constantly busy and i have been kept on my toes.

On a lighter note, i got 3 really cute work dresses from Cue.
2 of which are sweet black dresses,so Audrey-esque. As they are so plain, i turn to Polyvore for inspirations to spice them up for work, weekends and date nights.
Not forgetting the full pleated skirt in all its glory, wear it this Spring:

Rollip - Awesome Online Photo Effects!

Rollip - Awesome Online Photo Effects!

I stumbled upon this link on Jen's blog. It makes all your photos beautiful, especially for uploading photos on my Etsy shop. It creates the perfect mood of nostalgia, like a stack of forgotten polariods found in a dusty chest hidden in the attic.
It is also useful for all other photos you have. Best of all, this website is free.

Diet Coke Puppet Ad

The soundtrack, the dance moves and the 'dolls' have been looming around in my head for ages. I have to share this here. The dolls are so glamourous and gorgeous..

like Blythe dolls, Bratz and Barbie combined.
This advertisement is very light hearted and cheerful. One of the best i have seen so far.
I may as well convert to drinking Diet Coke !

For You, Jen

Such an inspiration.
Last Saturday was Jenn's bridal shower. A low-key and sophisticated high tea with lovely conversations and games. With one of the activities, we were told to answer a mini quiz on what Jen wore that day.

Nonetheless, she gingerly left the area, hoping that no one would not noticed.
Anyway, this is very similar to what she wore.
It is extremely ladylike, sweet and chic. I got most of it right by memory.. i guess.. LOL

For you Jennifer =)
i hope you like it

this week

What a busy full-on week at work. New responsibilities coming onto my plate, mastering my current work, imparting knowledge to fellow staff, learning new tasks all at the same time. Sometimes i feel like i have overcommited myself and drowning in a neverending pool of work and " urgent " tasks.

However, that aside, i managed to squeeze time in and made a trip down to Giraffe cafe with Kelsie.
Here some of the pictures i took. Every trip to Giraffe is enjoyable, relaxing, rejuvenating and comforting, the list goes on. It is a quick break in the middle of the week, an escape from the daily grind where i can immensed in homely zakka style decor.

you know i am stressed at work when i indulge in a vanilla strawberry cupcake with awesome cream cheese icing.. my fave !

cosy home

Szechuan food doesnt sit well with me.
I have been at home, avoiding all outside contact because of my poor rumbling tummy. I am not sure if i am actually hungry or if the spice is still burning my stomach walls.
Anyway, that aside, it is the weekend and i am going to share some lovely home inspiration pics for a good pick me up. As you would know by now.. i am a homebody and would love to curl up at home for any given chance. These pictures are so comforting, courtesy of Decor 8. Or you can also checkout my lovely friend, Jen's blog, on what she did to her wall.


That's all for now. Have a lovely weekend .

my cool wall

Top Gear has a cool wall on its program, i have mine too!!
Not cars though, but various items i found lovely and interesting. Some of these were recently accquired from the craft fair last saturday.

I put them up on Monday when i had an awesome day off. I cleaned the house, slept in, cooked and i thought to myself, " why not adorn my wall as it is very plain and empty "? !
here it is















































It features a range of mixed media, including ribbons, fabric cuts and prints from etsy.
What's your idea of a 'cool wall' ? And how do you style it ?
