Experiment with textures, add some laces… brings a tinge of romance to our everyday style… I got this from Arab Street, comes in a pair… Just a few stitches of tacking to add a little spice to some past season’s outfit!
Bedazzle
Rhodium-plated necklace with four exclusively cut chunky Swarovski crystals. I supposed, Swarovski crystals can be girls’ best friend these days next to diamonds in a much more affordable sense. The contemporary design brings out a character that amplifies its presence with elegance. It’s great with any slip-ons, for weddings, dinners, cocktail receptions and so on.
Wind the Bobbin
A bobbin is a small spool of thread that sits beneath the needle in a sewing machine. The needle thread and the bobbin thread lock together to create the sewing machine stitch. Bobbins must be wound correctly to keep the correct tension on the thread, which makes a smooth stitch. Most sewing machines come with…

It was my first trip to Australia-a stopover for two days in Melbourne and my final destination, Sydney, for five days to attend a good, old friend’s wedding.

Some Old Stuff… but the New is here!

Who doesn’t love bubble skirts?
I got this one from a local designer at a pushcart in one of the malls almost 10 yrs ago! I paid around SGD90, a bit steep then… but with no regrets! It’s not like any ordinary skirt. The random tacking of the unique double layered pink Thai silk, backed with white cotton fabric underneath…
