Too late for Christmas!

I wore this tailor made pencil skirt which had a mixture of greens with a hint of gold which was my Christmas theme. This Christmas my husband and I had a small shindig at our place with our close friends where I cooked and cooked and cooked, I almost didn't get enough time to slip into this little ensemble.

I purchased this green batik printed material at one of the shops in Arab street (which by the way if you are in Singapore you have to visit). I was hoping to have this tailor made sometime mid 2013 since Emerald Green was the color of the year. I know it's not exactly Emerald Green but it is a fun mix of many greens (don't you think?).

Weekender!

Last minute run to the tailors before two weddings this season is nerve recking, especially when you are getting your clothes stitched with them for the very first time. I will post the newly tailored outfits here (if it ever turns out good, wish me luck).

On a day such as this, I picked up some comfortable wear to head to the tailors and jazzed up a Saturday morning in my festive blings.

Traffic Lights!

After a long hiatus I am back again! I have been under the weather the last couple of days and now slowly I'm trying to get better and be in the holiday spirit. The weather out here is crazy, we have the sun during the day and as I get ready to go out and do a shoot for you guys, it gets gloomy and rains all of a sudden, and then I think of my favourite nursery song "out comes the sun and dry's up all the rain, the itsy bitsy blogger gets to shoot again," (hehe my own little variation of that little jingle). Some days you love this weather and just want to sit in your PJ's with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book, but some days it gets realllly irritating because I can't do my favourite thing, Dress up !!!!!.

This is just one of those days for me.

Thanksgiving!

This year my husband & I hosted our first Thanksgiving dinner at our place for our close family and friends. We kept our menu simple with a home-cooked meal by me, my in-laws and my husband. I am indeed thankful to each one of them and my friends who are a blessing in my life. It was a beautiful evening spent with each one of them and not sure if my sangria had something to do with the ladies going crazy while doing the group shots.

I always trust her in her artsy handwriting on my disposable tablecloth:

Made these flower hair crowns for the ladies:

Meet the confused Sir Preston:

I am thankful to this Beautiful Woman:

My Man:

I made Sangria the night before, they were yum:

On this occasion we opened my favorite wine that we bought from Melbourne early this year:

Meet my Family of friends:

I told you, sangria could have been the reason here:

I got my friends to pen down few words on what they are thankful for:

Hope you all had a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend!!!

Must love Sweatshirts!

Wearing a sweatshirt in the little red dot could cause a heatstroke, since we don't get to enjoy the change in seasons(bummer :(..). Thank God for the constant heavy showers that allows me to wear light sweaters or even sweatshirts like this for a cozy evening out with friends and family.

...let the festivities begin!!!

Happy Diwali to all My Beautiful Readers!!!

How did you all celebrate Diwali this year? In this red dot we had our Diwali on Saturday. My husband & I celebrated Diwali with our closest friends we ended up having a scrumptious indian dinner on Saturday and on Sunday we were at our friends parents home for a delicious home-cooked dinner. It was a beautiful and at the same time a busy weekend. Thats why my post is a bit late.

When it comes to Indian festivals and weddings, we all do take a huge effort to dress up in our ethnic outfits. I reserve my ethnic pieces for such occasions, my closet has pieces that are fresh from the tailors that I save for just these special occasions. One such piece is this Anarkali top that I am wearing as a dress. I didn't wear the full set here since I'm going to be using it for a wedding in December. I have two weddings in December (which I am so excited about) and I have decided to maximize my outfits and not buy anything new. I paired this Anarkali with my Indian accessories that I had purchased at the diwali bazaar a few days ago and my ZARA gold shoes.

I hope to share with you another indian inspired outfit in my next post.

Thank you to all who continues to read, like and drop me messages on my blog it is a true motivator.
