Hey all, I’ve been digital window shopping again. Actually technically it should be just window shopping since you do open windows on your screen. Okay, sorry lame “joke”. -___-

Gmarket time again. Can’t help myself since more shops have their Spring collections up. What can I say, I love to share good things!

Lovely spring dresses from Olivon

Look what I found… I knew it would be out sooner or later. Alexa in red! Gorgeous but currently out of stock! They have more colors. Click here!

A girly military inspired dress here.

Vintage inspired dresses. Love their styling! Here here!

By photographer James Mills for Frankie.

Hello hello! First of all, I’d like to say I have found a copy of Frankie. Although it’s not the most recent I am happy! Thank you Vanessa! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have my precccioouss in my hands right now. You can purchase it at Thambi at Holland V. (It’s the Indian Magazine store in the corner! )I read an interview in Frankie and the interviewee, Natalie Green called herself: graphic designer by trade (painter & photographer by tendency). Then for me it would have to be graphic designer by trade (crafter & photographer by tendency). Probably almost the same isn’t it?!

Aw.. I have butterflies in my tummy right now. Arghs. Something doesn’t feel quite right. Hmmm… bah. Hope you’re having a great day!

momo says hi too!

Hello boys & girls! Just stopping by to say Thanks to everyone who has so far sent me emails in regards to the modeling. If you’re wondering how come I haven’t gotten back to you, don’t fret cause I will soon. :D Just that now I need to really figure out what kind of shoot and the whole theme will be and such. I don’t want to too haphazard about it cause that would just be too embarrassing on my part.

Anyways here’s wishing everyone of you a great week ahead! xoxo

8th Mar

Hey everyone, today was such a busy day which started at around 7.30 am for me. Now my 4 limbs are so numb and even my fingers find a little bit of difficulty trying to type. As some of you would know, I had my picnic this afternoon. The weather was hot but occasionally the wind would grace us with a refreshing breeze. I drove to Holland Vllg this morning to get things done. I’m really beginning to like that part of Singapore cause it has everything! Banks, cafes, supermarket & chipbee garden which has magic pantry, phoon huat (baking needs) and a new cooking school/shop. So I lugging around big plastic bags of groceries and a pile of new magazines in my personal bag. Argh, It wasn’t too kind of the Sun to be beating down on me so hard. Nevertheless, I was excited to get everything done and return home to start my adventures in the kitchen. Here’s some photographic evidence of what I made/intended to bring, for the picnic. Enjoy!

I wanted to make brownies, which I did, but couldn’t bring to the picnic cause I didn’t add enough flour. DOH! The chocolate was sooo yummy tho.!

I made my own bread sticks which were supposed to be pretzels but I had no idea how to twist them the right way!

My neighbour was making something yummy in her kitchen too and gave me some chocolate goodness for me to try. :D

Then I made my guacamole using a more intense, yummier recipe.

Here’s my brownie!

ze Guacamole. (Got rave reviews for this which made me so happy)

And my breadsticks!

which I put in pretty paper cups just for the fun of it.

Okay I’m off to bed, good night/morning me lovelies! Have a great Sunday and week ahead. Photos will be up when I develop my film. hehe. xx

Hey hey, just wanted to stop by and leave a gentle reminder. For all who are attending tomorrow’s picnic (i love chuu), please email me to let me know if you don’t have my contact number. Though, the location is the same as last time which is the big patch of grass at Swan Lake, Botanic Gardens has MANY big patches of grass and let’s be honest, I’m sure some of you don’t have the best sense of direction. hahaha… just kidding! *insert awkward laugh* So anyways, you can check the Botanic Gardens for the map. And something very important to take note of, if you are taking a taxi there, please know that there are TWO main entrances (if I’m not wrong) that taxis will stop at. You should stop at the one that is closer to gleneagles hospital. If not, you’d be walking for at least 20 minutes!

So if you’re coming tomorrow, can’t wait to meet you. If you’re not, then do look forward to photos!
Lotsa love kiddies! The weekend is here! xoxo

Hey peeps, It’s been a long while since I did like any proper photoshoot of an un-corporate nature. Actually it’s been a long time since I updated my blogmarket too! Thus, the trying-to-be-more-hardworking-and-motivated me is feeling a little guilty and on the other hand, quite inspired to do more photographs. Unfortunately, all I have is a camera and studio lights. The most important element missing, is the model. While my dear friend charlotte is a great model to work with (cause she would let me take her naked. lol), she’s busy as a bee and as her best friend, I would rather she get more rest than do favours for me. :)

So, with quite a thick skin I suppose, I was wondering if there would be any of you out there who might want to be my model? I’m thinking there’s a 90% chance that no one’s going to volunteer, but hey no harm in asking right? haha.

Here’s what I’m looking for in my muse! You don’t have to be tall, in fact I love petite models, like a UK size 8. Think Frankie magazine models! I have a fondness for the pixie look, small features and all. I hope I don’t sound like some judgemental douche!

Please don’t be shy! Email me at hellothere@sarahs-loft.com if you’re interested. Oh and do send a picture of yourself if you have one. :D

Good Sunshine day to you! Probably abit too sunshine-y, really. In fact, it’s crazy hot here in Singapore. (Bold text for emphasis as I wave my arms in the air shouting “this is madness!” LOL ) I might have to put on sunblock to protect my vampire white skin from getting freckles. And it’s not just the sun, it’s the frigging heat. Past few nights I’ve been sleeping with the air-conditioner turned on, which is a rare situation, cause I usually have a fan on my bedside table which does the trick. But NO… the hot weather is forcing me to me pollute the environment with my air conditioner. By the way, mentioning freckles. I have come to realize there are alot of girls who purposely want freckles. Oh they’re cute now, but when you’re old, they aren’t that pretty anymore. Check with your dermatologist, I’m not kidding! Or if you don’t have my dermatologist, trust me! :)

Enough talk! RANDOM PHOTOTIME!

My Sarah McNeil bunny brooch. I emailed her about some new knitting ideas and I can’t wait to see what happens. :D I want them all!

Making my own flower hair pins. You might probably get to see them on my head at the picnic. Joy!

Oh and I asked my Art Director, ZH to take some photos of his re-decorated bedroom. He’s got good taste in clothes so I expected him to have good taste in furniture. I was not disappointed at all, okay maybe slightly, cause he refuses to give me anymore photographic evidence his good taste. So my point is, it’s not impossible for a straight guy to have a nice neat room. :) Learn fellas, learn!

I’ll have the rest up soon! :)

Okay back to work. Later folks. hugs & kisses.

Hey alls! I’m glad or maybe quite surprised at myself. that I have a twitter account. That’s right! Miss “I will never have twitter” has succumb to the twitter way of life. So do follow me if you’re completely bored, cause I’m not the most exciting person in the world I assure you. :) I’m not even quite sure how it works, but I’ll find out along the way! Happy Tuesday Loves! xx

2nd Mar

Good Monday to yer all! I chanced upon Fred & Friends today and they offer the most creative and fun products for parties and around the house. Thought I just had to share!

Perfect party cups!

For the boys…

I saw this being sold at Pantry Magic!

I really want this! It’d make the most awesome birthday cake ever!

Hello my loves! Had a good weekend? This weekend I finally bought a dry cabinet for my cameras and scored an absolutely beautiful vintage typewriter. I will definitely tell you more about that soon! Other than that, this weekend has been full of storytelling, sleeping, a little bit of work and some cooking. I’ve now made it a habit to cook at least once a week just as practice I suppose. I find it therapeutic, but definitely don’t like the washing up part. haha. My mum always tells me that I’d better make sure my future husband is keen on cleaning up the house cause I would definitely be very horrible at it.

I made pork in cream of mushroom sauce + brocoli + brown rice. When I was studying in London and pressed for time or just plain lazy, I would bake meat in the oven with some sliced mushrooms and a can of campbell’s cream of mushroom soup spread over it. This is the lazy way of coming up with my own version of cream of mushroom sauce which I very proud to share with you. hehe. My then housemate Kevin cooked broccoli in butter+garlic+salt and it was so yummy! I know it wouldn’t be a revelation to most, but when you lived in a Chinese house all your life and the only version u know of broccoli involves oyster sauce+garlic+sunflower oil and sometimes scallops (Chinese weddings always have this dish. Ick), a total difference in flavour just makes your tastebuds tingle in delight. You know when Julie Powell said that everything tastes better with butter? She definitely wasn’t making it up! I wanted to take a photo of the end result, but the sun had already set and improper lighting makes food look very undesirable. lol. Oh well… more next week.

xoxo Have a fantastic week ahead.
