girls' night in at les affaires!

last last Friday was an incredibly fun night for myself & 3 other girls: the Les Affaires Girls' Night In party hosted by myself, along with the 3 girls who wrote in and were invited to join me! Les Affaires was super duper welcoming, and they prepared an entire table of food for us, and i even had my very own personally designed plague for the event hehehehe. honored much!!!

i wore the Knit Tassel Shrug in Burnt Orange!

all of us just dug right into the food, while chitchatting and breaking the ice! :D here's a picture of my 3 cute readers/friends happily eating away. haha!

we spent a long time trying to eat up whatever we could, cos there was like way too much food! D: and meanwhile, the marketing executive at Les Affaires, Xara, introduced Les Affaires to us and told us a little about the background of the company.

an excerpt from Les Affaires' Facebook page:

Les Affaires is French-inspired sleepwear which draws on European exuberance and love for life. At Les Affaires, we believe that you should be thoroughly revitalised after a good night’s rest.

Bedtime should be a nightly ritual, a time to indulge yourself in anticipation of tranquility and rejuvenation. This is why we love what we do – create comfortable yet gorgeous sleepwear. Our sensuous fabrics, flattering silhouettes, lovely details and exquisite designs are fashioned with your utmost comfort in mind.

Our pieces don’t just belong in your boudoir – we’re stunning and versatile enough to complement seamlessly with the rest of your wardrobe as well.

Look good, feel great, rest well, and be at your enthralling best when the new day begins.

we were introduced to the Fall/Holiday'11 collection, a series of eco-friendly sleepwear made from 100% bamboo yarn and treated with vegetable dyes that feel exquisitely soft and comfortable on the skin! loving the series of flirty and girlish pieces in a palette of soft pastels hues!

random fact: every single collection's intricate lace patterns are designed by Les Affaires very own designer, and they are all unique to the collection and to Les Affaires! so cool huh!

picked our favorite pieces to try on, and off to the changing room we went!

love the gorgeously decorated and extremely spacious changing rooms, there's even space for yourself and a girlfriend in one changing room! we tried on the pieces we picked, amidst much giggles and laughter :P tsk! all my readers/friends are all super skinny!!!

this is so hilarious, there was a big poster on the changing room wall of the exact pieces Fel was trying, so we made her do the same pose. LOL. 95% accuracy i must say. 很像!!!

we were practically holding our very own PJs party right in the boutique! :D hehe. the pieces are really so comfortable you just wanna luxuriate in them!

pretty girls in gorgeous sleepwear!!!

and the best part: we got to keep our favorite piece of sleepwear complimentary of Les Affaires! :D :D :D how awesome is that! after much debating and discussion, we all chose a piece each, all nicely wrapped and put into pretty shopping bags for us! :D

love love! <3

together with pretty Xara!!! bet you didn't know she was my poly school mate. omg Singapore is too small!!! we had a lot of fun catching up! thanks for OT-ing for us babe!!! haha.

it was a super fun event! special thanks to Les Affaires, Xara, the team from 20PR who planned and organized such an interesting session and also to the three girls who took time out of the schedules to come and join me for a night! hope you girls had as much fun as i did!!!

the baby doll camisole with matching undies i brought home. heehee. love it! it's so super comfy and pretty!

and i've got two apparels from Dash by DOT, an exclusively manufactured label by DOT, to introduce as well! :)

Flair Affair Dressz, size M: this pretty dress comes in a series of florals and polkadots, i chose polkadots cos who can resist white on navy polkadots? too cute! it has a girly flare skirt and sweetheart bustier, decent length which is good for work and the fabric is very comfy and soft!

X-Knot Twist Front Dress: i love how easy to wear this piece is! with unique knot front details and it's surprisingly flattering even though it's a sort of body con! :D love the forest green color that's really classy!!

phew! took me damn long to do up this blogpost cos there were like toooo many pictures!! hahaha. but still, hope you girls enjoy reading this entry! :)

at pizzeria mozza

work has been taking a lot out of me lately, and i haven't been seeing friends for so long, i feel like a hermit :( the only people i've been seeing are my fellow blogshop laobanniangs, minions, suppliers & my boyfriend! sounds quite depressing right :( you'd never think that so much time and work goes into running a small online business. shan't elaborate, some day when i have a lot of free time, i'll sit down and maybe write a long long blog post on TVD.. how it started and how i ended up doing what i'm doing now! haha. freaking long grandmother story.

neways.. finally got to meet my three girls for dinner, it's been eons since our last dinner! like some time in May lor... pre-Poland. lol. which also reminds me that i'm only halfway through my Poland travelogues. i am so so so so slow. i've been seeing Fish a lot now that she's working for LRH, but Woon & Aini are also busy with work, finally managed to find a night that everyone could take time off to have our dinner date!

this time round, we went to MBS.. so atas right! bwahaha.

to an Italian joint called Pizzeria Mozza! :)

just for your info, the whole menu is in Italian okay. so it's probably better to consult a waiter to decipher it for you. haha.

they served these cheese crackers thingy, i like!

all their pizzas are made-to-order, and the waiting time is like 45 minutes! super worth the wait though!!

Woon & Aini

Fish & me!

i still had to launch on the day of the dinner, omg, had to do up the entry with LJ's new freaking annoying entry editor in like half an hour! *panic mode* fortunately managed to launch on time, the girls had to wait for me while i wrapped up the launch before we could concentrate on dinner! love my macbook air cos it's so awesome, i carry it around all the time and don't feel the weight at all!

on to the food! we waited quite a while before they started serving the food, and the restaurant was extremely crowded! shows how popular it is.

calamari. why i mentioned you should consult the waiter before ordering, cos smart alecks us just saw the word "calamari" and interpreted it as deep fried squid rings, lol but we were presented with this whole squid on sticks! it was very yummy though! well marinated and tender, not too chewy or rubbery!

and i just have to rave about the pizzas. they are sooo sooo good!!! the crust isn't doughy and thick, it's a little chewy, thin and so damn good i had to resist from finishing it all up! :X diet plan, you see. can't take too much carbs :P

magherita pizza, just tomato and cheese goodness. the tomato was very tangy and it tasted awesome! the fresh herbs complemented the pizza well and super not jelat unlike some other pizzas i've had. VERY GOOD.

and my LOVE. al funghi pizza omg omg omg look at it it's covered in mushrooms!!! super not stingy with the mushrooms, and they were so juicy and tasty! dammit. salivating already. imma super big fan of mushrooms in my food! definitely must try. every bite is mushroom heaven.

we also tried the bone marrow anti pasti, this one was interesting! first time trying bone marrow, lol suaku much. it just tasted very oily to me.. must have came from a very well fed cow! Fish couldn't really stomach it though. hahaha. she said she couldn't stop imagining the poor cow while looking at the bone...

camwhoring through out, but the lighting's quite dim in the restaurant so it's not really a good place to camwhore!

Fish trying very hard to dissect her pizza crust.

me devouring pizza. YUM YUM YUM.

i ran into an old friend, J at the restaurant too! :) from church. we were wearing the same shade of blue! coincidence coincidence.

our meal for four came up to about 80 dollars or less? i can't remember, but the pizzas cost like $20 over ish per pizza, so it was pretty affordable! :) i googled online and read a few reviews, it's supposed to be one of the best pizza places in singapore, and apparently you'd need to make reservations for the weekends! highly recommended for pizza/italian food lovers.

the above photos are all taken with leme cam, i think! cos a reader was asking about it in the previous entry! :)

so we decided not to take dessert at the restaurant, and ended up wandering aimlessly around for a bit.. we walked to the river side and the view was really pretty!

Fish & I posing with the LV window display. i looove LV's window display! so whimsical and pretty. Fish is wearing LRH's upcoming skirt & i'm wearing TVD's cape toga romper! both pieces are mad love! :D

awesome cityscape

two insane girls. hey Woon is in full TVD too! weekender skinny trousers & checkered shirt from TVD hehehehe.

a nice bokeh shot of Aini taking a picture of the view. whee. still taken with my E-P1 btw cos this was before i bought the E-P3! :P

in the end, we cabbed down to the only place that was probably still open with desserts: 2AM dessert bar at Holland Village!

they have really awesome cushy seats, and i haven't been there for ever cos Holland Village is so out of the way. but once the Circle Line is fully open, it'd be a lot more accessible to me! woohoo.

definitely maxed out my calories that night. we ordered four different desserts to share zomg! all very good. especially the chocolate tart with strawberry ice cream!!! great place to pig out over desserts and chillax. went home at 1am, full (guilty) stomachs and happy hearts.

:)

absolutely adore girl dates. sighhh. thank you girls :) love you all long time!

i love my BF and our boy/girl dates too also okay. just to clarify, if not later YZ'll get jealous :P

BUT.

everyone knows that girl dates without the men are always much fun-ner, what's better if you get to unleash your inner shopaholic coupled with champagne, canapés and giggles right! :P
