Yours truly is back from her weekend break. I just survived almost 3 harrowing hours at the Singapore Immigration (don’t ask). I think the S’pore Govt is creating long queues to take the piss out of tourists. I mean, c’mon, THREE miserable lanes for like a million people? *drama queen moment* You must be kidding me. I can’t sleep now since I’ve to be at work in about an hour. Anyway, let’s look at pretty stuff:

Isn’t this like the prettiest? It’s the perfect carry-on bag: Prada’s Lace Leather Bowler. Eva Mendes make lace look both casual and sophisticaated. I’m not a big fan of lace but maybe I’m beginning to appreciate it a little more. Then again, it’s hard for me to justify getting a bag that would be at least 80% of my paycheck. Can someone pay my rent?
I haven’t had the best couple of days and Bubster cheered me up this morning with a surprise package from his mum, dad and grandma! YEAH! More pressies! It was really sweet of them to send me an early birthday present from NZ. I really love the wrapper as well - pink and stilletos! What could it beee?
I’ve got a red bag, a pretty floral print dress from Jay Jays, a pink flower necklace from Karma (Silver Moon) and the most adorable birthday card! I miss Bubster’s parents and grandma - his grandma is soo cool, and full of life. I wanna be her at her age - traveling, shopping and all. She loves shopping too - haha.
Here’s a closeup of the necklace and the floral print. Simple, but sweet.
I know, I shouldn’t open up my presents until my birthday - which is about 1.5 week away. This is such an appropriate card! I squealed when I saw the pug princess. Inside the card says, “It should happen EVERY DAY! Happy Birthday” Yes, I want to be spoiled, pampered and treated like royalty every single day. HINT. At least for my birthday month.
So, it’s my birthday month and Bubster said I can pick my presentsss, haha. I’m not a spoiled lil’ girlfriend - wait a minute, I’m kinda spoiled but I am reasonable. At least I would like to think so. I don’t think boyfriends should spend ‘too’ lavishly on a girlfriend unless he’s earning mega bucks or has a big trust fund. My Bubster is earning a decent income but I don’t believe in him buying me anything more than say, $1K.
Recently, a friend got his girlfriend a Prada handbag for her birthday (and he’s a full-time university student!)To me, that’s a holiday for two - it’s too much for me, but I think it’s really awesome for him to do so. I think you should set a healthy ratio of the price of the gift against your income. Subjective? How much do you think boyfriends/girlfriends should spend on their partners?
I picked my awesome non-branded bag for my birthday - haha, a YAK PAK Megu handbag (retailed at SGD$59.90) from Spin The Bottle. Bubster and I love this multi-label shop - firstly, it’s a breath of fresh air from the local fashion scene. They bring in cool brands like The Lifetime Collective, Fortune Denim, GAMA-GO and etc. We bought a few T-shirts and a GAMA-GO bag from them over the past year.
Jenny Humphrey carried this in an episode of Gossip Girl. Avril Lavigne has been seen with one with skulls print. I just found out today that YAK PAK handbags come with lifetime warranty for any manufacturing defects. I got the YAK PAK Megu’s Grey Ivy Forest. I spent a fair bit of time deliberating between this one, Grey Bamboo, Black Swallows and Pills.
YAK PAK Megu handbags are made of soft cotton twill with satin interior. I was looking for a casual, weekend mid-size handbag and this is cute, even though it’s not exactly cheap. It’s also their best-selling purse range. I love the size of the bag, and it’s versatility. It also comes with a cute keychain in the built-in pockets. Hee. That’s yours truly’s birthday gift #1. It may not be Prada but it’s pretty fabulous!

My jaw literally dropped when I read that Marc Jacobs named a bag, BB - after famed blogger, Bryan Boy. Not just a bag, but the entire style - including the androgynous ad campaign! I like how Cole Mohr rocks the female outfit and not look strange. Then again, it’s fashion - nothing’s strange in this business.
A free bag and a personal note from Marc Jacobs *jealous*
Cole Mohr lookin’ ultra hot in MJ.
Love the big bow dress!
Yes Bryan Boy, you’ve made it - lucky bitch.

Here’s another young starlet jumping into the “I’m a Fashion Designer” bandwagon - yes, it’s none other than lovely Mischa Barton. Today, we get a sneak peek at her “selection of 30 vintage-inspired shoulder bags and clutches in earth-tone colors” - hmm, doesn’t the flower logo reminds you of Loewe?
So let’s say these bags are gorgeous and you gotta have ‘em - what kind of damage are we talking about? They will be retailed between $40-$265 - not too bad right? But I’ve to say, so far… I’m not very excited about them. The bags will be launched next month.
It’s about time. The ladies at Conversation Pieces made a comeback with these lovelies. This time, they’ve stocked up on more dresses, tops, accessories, and even home & living pieces direct to you from the States. Fash-E will give you a sneak peek at what’s in store for you to grab. Hurry, because these pieces are limited!
Stacey Dress
I love this dress. The colours are vibrant and really pops! It’s great to hide that tummy and perfect for our sunny Singapore weather. I love heart the square-neckline as well.
Milly Dress
Bring out the girl in you and twirl around in this beautiful ethereal ivory dress with unique cut-out flowers and ruffle sleeves. It also comes in gem blue colour.
Crimson Clutch
Wanna play old Hollywood glamour? This clutch is all you need. It’s perfect for a casual weekend, and also a classy night-out.
Lucy Blouse in Teal
This is a versatile piece which you can wear it as a long top, or a mini-dress. I love the teal colour and the bow detail on the puffy sleeve. Very romantic and flirty at the same time!
Bone China Teacup Set
Tea-time can be fancy as well when you have the right home accessories. This lovely teacup set will ring you back to the English old days as you sip your brew of Camomile tea.
Starry Necklace
We love statement accessories and this is definitely in our books. This gorgeous necklace will look lovely with a simple top that you can show off on a girl’s night out.
