Call me shop girl

Yeah, that's what I am right now - shop girl. For the past 2 weeks, that's what i have been up to, serving, greeting and best of all being surrounded by beautiful beautiful vintage clothes. Thought I gave it a try and I actually liked it so here I am committing to this for the next couple of months, a break from the regular day job is kinda refreshing. The experience is good so far, nothing too nasty 'cept for a case of shoplifting (really audacious i tell you!). Customers are either lovely or boring, you get people walking into a vintage shop asking if they are used or secondhand! Seriously? Anyway, this will be good experience to prep me for my future shop if I have a chance of opening one some day.

btw, isn't the gown on Miss Hepburn gorgeous?

A cow with dots

Ever heard of cows with polka dots? Well i know of one with multi-colored dots and can make a uber neat headpiece. Actually an alter ego of a friend, polkadottedcow is now moving on to handy crafting creating super sweet bands like the ones below. It all started when cow was helping a fellow friend create a head piece for her wedding and soon realise her hidden talent.

The pieces created went thru major editing from the usual glamourous head pieces for weddings into simple ones for everyday wear from morning to night. What I love most is that they are best worn with casuals, nothing too matchy - pretty much the philosophy of polkadottedcow. And most importantly they are extremely afforable, available from S$39.

little treasures

I'm constantly on a look out for sweet lil things to be discovered and shared. And thanks to Bloesem, I've discoverd two new designers with different styles and asthetics and yet oh-so wonderful.



Who can resist such adorable looking brooches? Depeapa is handmade in a little home base studio in Spain by a very talented artist. The illustration on the brooches are originally drawn.

Next up is by a designer so close to home, she resides in Hong Kong and has the most precious jewelry ever. Yellowgoat is the literal translate of the designer's name, Huang Yang. From lovely brass head to little trinklets, there's always a hidden surprise in her designs.

Birds on a dunk

Gone are these beautiful dunk. Finally had the time and headed down to Pedder Red to only find out that these super cute dunk are SOLD OUT. I want those pink birdie ones.

A collaboration between Nike and Paule Marrot Edition, the famed French textile designer known for his patterns. Remaking the traditional dunks to fit the female feet, yet keeping the essence of the original dunks, the Nike Skinny Dunk is born with cute lil birdie prints all over.

Basic pieces

From my new favourite streetstyle blog, Copenhagen Streetstyle, I've rediscovered how simple basic pieces that can be found in most wardrobes can look so chic and put together.



I still can't believe he's a postman. Never in a million year would I have guessed. Maybe the postmen in Copenhagen are cooler sartorial beings.



Boyfriend jeans + plaid blouse is not a combination I'd ever try with pointy heels. But hey, it works!



Everything looks so basic about here but yet so cool.
