Purple Spaces

I’ve liked furniture and interior design since my days as an art student. I used to go to the furniture stores like ‘Space’ just to look at their beautiful furnishings and make mental notes to get them when I have a house in the future. Well, that time has finally come for me (kinda). I have a house coming in about 3 years (and besides the monthly mortgage which is a real bummer), I’m really excited for it to come!! You should guess by now that I’m seriously obsessing over interior and am on a sharp lookout for beautiful spaces. I don’t see my favourite colour (purple) used in interior on a large scale much, so I was totally blown away by these images I saw online. What beautiful use of purple! Definitely taking notes, I surely hope to use them in my home when it comes! 🙂

Look Of The Day

I’m not one who wear jeans/pants much because I usually find the weather too hot and humid for it. Felt in the mood for them one cool evening though and dug out my hardly worn Rock & Republics. Paired it with one of my favourite tops of the moment – the Wild Rose from Pink Flare and had a scrumptious Japanese dinner outdoors at Nagae, Waterfront Plaza. 🙂

Best apple cider ever!
The boy and I were really excited that the Harry Potter exhibition was coming to town. We had thought about going on the 1st opening day, 2nd June as it was his birthday but finally decided against it as it was a Saturday and we’re the sort who are slightly afraid of crowds. We gave ourselves a day off on Thursday and headed to the Arts and Science Museum at MBS for the exhibition. We spent almost 2 wonderful hours marveling at the props, re-dishing story lines and wishing we were part of the Harry Potter World. Sadly, no photography is allowed in the exhibition. (The pictures of the exhibition in this post is mostly taken off the net.) We headed for Beer Fest after the exhibition (thanks for the tickets Louis!) and listened to an awesome ACDC girl cover band. It was also at the fest where I had the yummiest apple cider beer. Gotta start keeping a look out for Somersby’s apple ciders in the market! P/S Harry Potter fans will not want to miss this exhibition!

Birthday Boy

This is the third month that I’m blogging for Tocco Tenero. This month, I picked for myself a cream satchel bag with yellow and dark blue woven details on the bag flap. I really like the combination of colours and the details on this bag. Once again, I am very impressed by the attention paid to small details that make Tocco Tenero bags so useable and pretty much, perfect. This small bag came with a removable/adjustable shoulder strap, 4 compartments, one with a zipper and another with a magnetic snap button, an inner zip compartment and an outer compartment with magnetic snap enclosure. That’s a lot of compartments for such a little bag! I love that I can fit all my stuff and organize them nicely in their spaces. 
I took the bag out to celebrate the boy and Diana’s birthday with the boy’s gang (whom I’ve fondly grown to love) on Friday. After taking some outfit shots at Haji Lane, we trooped to Golden Mile Tower for chicken rice steamboat at Thien Kee Restaurant. The chicken rice and hainanese pork chops were really good. Although I can’t say the same for the steamboat (the soup base was rather bland and beside the flavorful chicken rice, I couldn’t quite taste anything from the steamboat), the chicken rice, pork chops and reasonable pricing definitely warrants a 2nd visit. We ended the night with drinks and cake at Shangri-La. From the pictures, you can tell that if you hand a girl a knife, she’ll play killer and want to stab you with it!

Minty Freshness

Matchy nails and outfit. Nails grow at an alarming rate…it’s time for manicure once again soon!
Do you like my haircut? 
Got these mint coloured shorts at a steal from H&M a couple of days back and decided to wear them and take the dog, Domo to the groomer’s and run errands. Loving the clean palette I had on, I was glad to have worn light colours because it was so darn hot out. Was feeling slightly nervous about leaving Domo with a new groomer but am glad all turned out good when I picked him up. Love how spiffy and ’round’ he looks everytime he gets a hair cut! 🙂 Sneaked some burger bites in between and it was so good. Absolute comfort food, I love burgers and fries. Maybe I should have been born American! 
Haven’t been feeling too hot about things lately, but I got this quote from the drama I’ve been watching, Sopranos and it’s definitely helping me along:

“Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while a great wind is bearing me across the sky.” – Ojibwa saying
Stay happy & positive people!
