beauty is hard work


got a gorgeous dress from Flymetoparis!
awesome workmanship and good cutting! the material is superbly comfy too :D
it's a self-manufactured item, inspired from Warehouse.

check out the below picture, it looks 99% alike i swear?



they have it in three different hues too, all very work appropriate colors and easily matched with a blazer!

perfect for work.
sometimes i wish i were an OL,
got excuse to shop for work clothes all the time. HAHA.
and shoes too! and you can strut around looking professional and chio everyday (ok shallow statement. whatever.) especially when all the work apparel now available online are SO affordable compared to ZARA/MNG/whatever.

BYTHEWAY,
quote "fmtptreats@yina" to enjoy a one-time 10% discount off the total purchase price,
and also a subsequent one-time 10% discount for the next purchase with the purchase of any FMTP manufactured piece. The offer will be valid for 2 months from date of purchase!

gogogo to Flymetoparis and check out this dress!

but anyways,

beauty is hard work.

especially for girls that arent 天生麗質 like me,
chances are we can't just roll out of bed and walk out looking like a million bucks.

but luckily there's make up and colored contacts and falsies always to save the day,
for a few hours of chio, also need to spend hours piling on the make up and fixing the falsies and etc, set hair, do nails.. whatever.

however,
i think it's nice to be chio la. quite worth the effort. HAHAHA.
of course, nice lighting and good angles play a part too X:


all the hard work, and i was only attending a wedding dinner.
not even my own wedding.

did my nails to match my dress :X

this is not mine. i borrowed it off my mother. HAHAHA. i wish i had a 2.55 though. major lemming!
wearing a TVD label dress: lace overlay ruched bustier! ♥ fantabulous material & workmanship!

no ugly women, only lazy women.

pictures from the dinner!

reception/cocktail area, and a nice big portrait of the wedding couple. so sweet!



the groom's mama is so well maintained and lovely looking. next time when i'm 50 i wanna be chio too.

march in!


finally started serving the food!
because my friend the groom and his family are vegetarians, the entire dinner course was all vegetarian D:
mock meat and the likes. first time attending a vegetarian wedding dinner! but it wasn't half bad, just that i felt like i was eating alot of 麵粉 :X


mock sharkfin. tasted quite similar.

this one is supposed to be goose, but it just tasted like deep fried pastry with mango and cashew nuts. hahaha

yam ring without the meat! still awesome.

mock chicken meat. this was quite good!

sweet&sour "prawns" that tasted like fish cake

some "real" food. broccoli and mushrooms!

lotus wrapped rice,
and we ended off the course with mango sago which i forgot to snap a picture of.

my table of (supposedly 10) only started with 8, and halfway though dwindled to 6 ):
so there was ALOT of food. stuffed myself TTM.


my companion! this is not my new boyfriend la.
my good 姐妹 for many years :D classmate & colleague!



i love make up.
thanks for saving my looks.

S34 preview


S34: Launching Wednesday 10 Nov 8.30PM!

yet another exclusively manufactured piece made with love from TVD, and we're really happy with how this piece turned out! it's really lovely and alot of my friends have already requested for a piece! :P

had fun doing up this preview a lil differently, and i love how the colors of this dress look together! :D
it's a warehouse-inspired piece, and totally gorgeous and flirty cute :P

in sequence,
nude, white, muted aqua & black!
the muted aqua is actually a shade towards jade, but i dont know what better color to call it! o well. it's a really nice shade of pastel blue-green!

my take on the four colors:

White: comes with champagne gold embroidery, and definitely very grecian and ethereal looking! go for white if you like that clean, fresh look :)

Muted Aqua: comes with champagne gold embroidery, extremely unique shade and made for the fun-loving! you'll stand out in the crowd in this hue of blue! Gina's pick :P

Nude: comes with silver embroidery, the most classy looking color and will look good on most skin tones! good for work when you want to look professional and abit more toned down.

Black: comes with champagne gold embroidery, if you like elegance and goldxblack then this is your choice! slightly more solemn than the other colors, but still girly and flirty!

can't stop raving about the material for this dress because it's really good quality and luxe,
it's made of a chiffon rayon blend and comes with a thick inner lining so you don't have to worry about sheerness, even for the white piece :)

comes in sizes S & M too! Size S for UK6-8, and Size M for UK8-10 :)
there's a tie-back at the waist and a concealed side zip so you dont have to worry about those ugly smocks or elastic bands!


wore it out in black for dinner last week, to meet Nicolle who came back from SH briefly to settle some visa issues..
we were dining at Prive at Keppel Bay, so i dropped by Vivocity to get some Gong Cha!

the queue was even longer than the KOI queue at TPY!


got the herbal jelly milk tea, and lemon juice with aiyu! both are pretty good, YZ thinks that Gong Cha is much better than KOI, for me i'm pretty neutral cos i like both of them :) KOI's aiyu is better though!

at Prive Bakery/Cafe, which is at Keppel Bay.
quite a scenic spot for a meal.

Nicolle & her daily dose of caffeine

we ordered a few sides and nibblers to share, but somehow ended up really full!
i suspect the satiety was aided by the Gong Cha milk tea...

mushroom soup,
very creamy and mushroomy, but a lil tasteless on the sodium side.

smoked duck salad! quite yummy, with fresh greens and vinaigrette!

straight cut fries with truffle mayo! love love the mayo, so tasty! and the fries were great too! my sort of comfort food (:
plus the serving was so huge the two of us couldnt finish it cos we were too stuffed.

trio of mini wagyu burgers!

they were really mini, like smaller than palm-sized?
not as tasty as i thought it'd be as the beef patties weren't particularly outstanding and rather dry cos the burgers had no sauces.
used the truffle mayo to go along with it though :P

feast laid out in front of us

moi and the food!

in conclusion, would go there for for the ambience, dinner menu was so-so to me!
i want to try their "all-day breakfast" though! which ended at 5.30 knn. what all-day, feel cheated.

little tea light on the table

on the phone

my ring (gina's actually)

toilet shot!

♥
happy belated birthday babe!
see you soon when you're back for cny :P
