Hi everyone. This morning I was invited to the launch of the iconic Sanrio X Dr Martens collection. I think most of us owned a pair of Dr Martens at least once in our life. I remember my parents bought me a pair in primary school and that was all that I would wear. I’m not sure why but I loved them so very much! When my family travelled to the UK for the first time, I got a pair of springy purple laces to replace the original ones at a market and could not stop looking at them. I should find a photo! Ever since then, I only owned one more pair of originals which was gifted to me by a friend of mine. I liked them but to be honest, I wasn’t a Dr Martens girl anymore so I gave them away which I somehow regret, really.

However, I have to say I really like this collection just cause the shoes look so much like candy! And when I tried them on, they were almost spongy and really comfortable. I had thought of buying a pair just so I could sit them on the shelf and just look at them! However, I’m now on a shopping ban. Arghs.

If you’re interested in getting a pair, do take note that they only brought in 8 pairs of each design and already people were queuing to get a pair today, so I’m not even sure if they have any left. But even if you’re not getting a pair from this collection, do drop by the Dr Martens retail space at #03-05 of Orchard Central to satisfy your shoe cravings.

All the DR MARTENS designs you ever want, you will find!

Hope you’re having a great mid-week! xx

Hi everyone! I couldn’t wait to put up this post, sharing with you Melly’s Birthday Party from start to well, the birthday cake candles being blown out. It was a taco party and I can’t remember how many I had. hehe The cake was amazing and as you can probably tell, HUGE! It was made by the ever talented Ovenhaven.

Enjoy enjoy!

The Birthday Food!

Hello lovelies! I know I’m abit late, sorry! Had a really weirded out couple of days. lol. So anyways I wanted to announce the winner of the giveaway and that is Sofie from Germany! Thank you everyone for your lovely presents! They were all fantastic but for some reason the moment I saw her present, I was totally in love. In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that the shop doesn’t do international shipping, I would have bought it myself! So thank you everyone once again! And hopefully there will be more giveaways in the future. Think Christmas!

Hi Loves! Recently I was invited to a press event held at bliss spa which I had no idea was cozily tucked away in the little corner within Sephora, Ion Orchard. I had known about bliss when I was in London with their quirky themed body and facial care products which stood out from the rest of Harvey Nichols, so I’m glad they brought it into Singapore cause I’d probably never have had the chance to finally try their products and even better, their services.

Perhaps little corner was not the best way to describe this space of 204 square meters which has four treatment rooms, four recliners for mini-treatments, a mod manicure & pedicure lounge and a large retail space with all the facial and body care products you would ever need.

The treatments include over-the-top facials, muscle-melting massages, slimming body treatments, almost painless waxing, seaweed masks, undereye treatments, mini massages and so many more to choose from. I had a chance to try their foot massage and let’s just say I nearly dozed off in sheer bliss. hehe. I also got to sample their products and am totally in love with the new ones that are arriving in the store soon! Definitely going to buy them! As you can tell, I am a believer of Bliss!

So here’s the fantastic part! I’m giving away ten discount vouchers that entitle you to 20% off your first visit! Each person is entitled to at most two vouchers, cause I feel who wouldn’t love to experience bliss with a loved one! All you have to do is leave a comment letting me know you want one or two. hehe. Hurry hurry cause there’s only ten!

Hi loves! Big announcement! I am reopening Sarah+theFlea this following Sunday! For everyone whose scratching their heads, thinking “she has fleas” or “she has a pet flea“, I’m talking about my Flea Market which was closed for awhile. It has pre-loved, brand new and vintage goods all at very good prices.

Exciting part is I will be adding a small Men’s section and A Premium section which will include brands like MarcbyMarc, McQueen, Paul&Joe Sister, Elizabeth&James, amongst other luxury brands! So I hope you will be able to find something you like!

By the way, if you make your purchase on Sunday up to 12am, you will get a 10% discount off your total purchase.

So mark the date fellow shoppers cause you need more pretty stuff in your wardrobe and I need money for my birthday holiday! hehe. Hope you’re having a great weekend. xoxo

Hello loves! Have you been enjoying your week so far? Mine has been oh-so-bumpy and relatively sleepy. It’s like I’m sleeping in small amounts but alot of them so I’m not sure if that’s good. 2 x 4hr sessions is not as good as one 8 hr session right?

Anyways I have many many things to blog about the next couple of days, but let me start with the TANGS FASHION SHOW I attended recently with Valencia & YiQin. It featured beautiful models dressed in lovely spring frocks by local designers. I have to say, the clothes here were way more appealing to me than the ones from the Harajuku Street Style show. PRETTY GIRLY FROCKS GALORE… I’m SOLD!I have to say, comparing TANGS, ISETAN, TAKASHIMAYA… TANGS has the lovelies this season. Honest!

Hi everyone! A post slightly overdue. Finally managed to upload photos after too many things to do prior.

Last Thursday, I was invited by the lovely Coleen to attend the launch of Shunji Matsuo wig line. I was greeted by the vast array of wigs, short, long, curly, you name it, they had it! The colors were so nice as well, so nice that I’m considering going back there to get my hair colored the exact same as the wig I tried on.

I’ve won wigs quite a few times before which I had borrowed from Japanese friends as well as purchasing my own blonde wig which has now unfortunately gone missing! And those wigs were pretty hard to put on, not to mention stay on my head. This range by Shunji Matsuo were surprisingly easy to put on and didn’t make me feel like I had a beehive on my head. Plus they fit as shug as a bug! They have those made of synthetic or natural hair. Obviously I would purchase one if I could, but they were out of my price range. Howver, do contact them if you’re interested!

Behold the ladygaga-esque wig!

The sweet Coleen in a Shunji Matsu wig (very Japanese OL, I must say)

Random photos I took cause you know me, I like taking note of things/events that don’t really matter. haha.

Okay back to work! I’ll be back real soon me lovelies! xx
