S63!

i am so incredibly slow it's amazing :(
4.30AM now and all i managed to do was to edit pictures and do up a preview.
there's still a whole inbox-ful of unanswered emails :(((( i'm so sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

BUTTT i really super love this collection, so i had to make the preview as pretty as possible!!!
also, say hello to our latest Velvet Doll, Cher! ;)

this has got to be one of my mostest favouritest manufactured item to date!
it's a Miss Selfridge-inspired suede paperbag shorts, and i snitched Gina's original piece (which is in Olive Green) to bring to our supplier to re-make it! best part of all, we even improved on the cutting (the original shorts were a little on the short side and not quite highwaisted enough) and i am sooo in love with the end product!!!!

seriously, the fit is just awesome and it really makes my bottom look alot smaller than it actually is! the suede material is very sturdy and comfortable as well, and the workmanship is definitely just as good as the original which is retailing for like $79 sing or something?


i wear a size M, and it's just a teeny bit snug on me.. time to lose weight! ;(

the shorts come in S, M & L, the sizing is roughly the same as the Chic Porter Shorts, or any of our other shorts. the fabric isn't very stretchable, but the tie-sash can help to tighten the waist portion if it's a little too big, so it shouldn't be a problem for the tiny-waisted girls! comes in Navy (as seen in my pictures above), Almond, Olive Green & Camel. i am so in love with all the colors i really cannot choose!

also, the Lego Reversible Tunic will be launched tonight as well, there were a couple customers asking about it! :) TVD's color exclusives are Fuchsia/Indigo, & Cyan/Orange! uber loving the pop colours and fabulous contrast!! one side has the inner hem peeking out so it's really colorful and nice :D


looks awesome worn tucked in or out!! i kept both colors, heh :D wore it in Poland together with my fab new skirt and its sooo naaisss! mad versatile and super easy to wear!



pardon the fat face. i'm supposed to be on a diet (but fail) -.-

also in the collection: BO extras for the Relaxed Button-Down Blouse in Teal & Nude! :D as well as some left-over stocks from deadbuyers from the last few collections, including the Cabriole Tulip Skirt, Kimono Drape Top etc etc. last chance to grab those cos they won't be restocked anymore!

S63 is launching at 8.30PM tonight! i'll be busy clearing emails before then, but feel free to ask away on Formspring if you have any queries on the collection, i'll try my bestest to answer em! :D pssst. if you also like the tops paired with the shorts in the preview, they're all upcoming pieces on TVD as well!! excited much!!!!

and i am mad serious about controlling my diet. this is post-Poland syndrome. but it is so omfg difficult because i'm surrounded by good food and friends eating good food all the time. arghhh. kill me. i must.. resist.......

wanderlust

hello! :)

been back home for a few days already, and busy catching up with work work work! there's always a thousand and one things to do, but i'm happy to be back home! :D and i can't believe it, but i took like over a thousand pictures in Poland and i'm not about to upload/edit every single one... i honestly don't know where/how to start with those pictures! :S way too manyyy. Poland was definitely a wonderful place to experience and visit, and i loved every minute spent there, with my choir and with my travel mates :)

didn't really mention so many details before i went jetting off, but i went to Poland on a choir trip, together with the SYC Ensemble Singers, to take part in the Mundus Cantat Sopot 7th International Choir Festival. and.......... we won!!! the Grand Prix, along with topping the 2 categories we took part in! :D :D :D other than taking part in the competition, we also had a series of concerts and performances, singing in the local churches for Mass, and evening concerts. it's been one of the more memorable trips with the choir, because we spent so much time singing singing and singing!

patriotism because we are singapore.

Jen, our conductor, with the beautiful trophy :)



pre-competition audition.



we sang in the shivering cold while up on an open air stage.. it was like 10 deg or something? i could barely sing without my teeth chattering! definitely a first.

international friends, like-minded individuals bonded by the love of music :)

post-concert partaaaay!

mass dance! hahaha :D

there was this beautifully tame cat, owned by the priest of the church we sang in. he was so tame and loveableee!

cat-lover.

a new friend from Brazil! :)

it was so much fun! :))) i wish i could do a day-by-day detailed blog post for every day of the trip, but it would be terribly slow and tedious, and probably extremely boring for readers too. so i'm just gonna blog about various parts of the trip as and when i feel like it, lol.

Woon bought me a pinhole lens for my camera, and i had tons of fun taking pictures with it during the trip! so i'll start by sharing those pictures first, heh. i love the pinhole effect very much, with its dreamy quality and vignette! the pictures are so gorgeous!

having fun with long shutter speeds to create ghostly effects

i heart my new skirt from H&M, am so gonna manufacture something similar for TVD if possible! :)

blue blue sky.. we thought it'd be nice cool weather, but it was swelteringly hot in Warsaw!

Woon & myself.

i really like the wide angles from the pinhole lens!

we went "trekking" on the mountains..

and saw many many sheep!!!

they were mad funny and cute!

graffiti-ed shelters along the way

as well as wild flowers..

little running creeks as well :) we miss out on so much in our concrete jungle

and walked miles, just to look for a little wooden church on the mountains

happy happy.

spot the schnauzer!

ending off with a grainy film art filter picture of Krakow through the pinhole :)

if you're curious to find out more, the pinhole lens is called Pinwide, by Wanderlust Cameras,

and i am using am Olympus E-P1 :) the pictures in the first half of the entry are taken with the Panasonic 1.7 20mm pancake lens, while the below are taken by the Pinwide. thank you for the early birthday present Woon! i LOVE.

i promise to blog more detailed entries about the trip soon!! :)))
