Do you know that Jill Stuart is only available at Isetan Scotts?
They have just launched their Spring Summer 2013 collection and yours truly was present at the launch.
This collection is filled with lace and florals which is what Jill Stuart is famous for.
“I make clothes I want to wear. It’s trendy, but not crazy. It’s feminine and sexy for women to be lady like, and it’s pretty, easy to wear, reasonable in price. This is the main concept for my clothes.” – Jill Stuart
The white top that the pretty model was wearing inside is priced at $199 and made of 75% Rayon and 25% Silk. The material made it sound so comfortable already.
The blouse on this model is available in 3 colours at the price of $149.
The dress seen below gives me a sweet summer feel. You know I would pick floral and lace anytime.
I had always find white dress sheer which is why I don’t buy them often, but this has proven that not all white dresses are sheer.
This playsuit caught our attention that day because it was quite different from the rest that were modeled that day. Florals and lace? No. It’s leopard now yo!
Not sure about you but I love knit tops. They are probably the most comfortable wear ever. But speaking of which, sometimes it may be too warm to wear a knit top for an entire day in Singapore.
This knit top is available in 4 different colours – Beige, Light Blue, White and Black at $179 each.
They also have sports wear just in case you’re wondering!
Very thoughtful of Jill Stuart to design for any occasion and event.
Cupcakes were specially ordered and designed by Shiberty (Jessica) to suit the theme. So sweet!
Leading Japanese fashion label, Natural Beauty Basic made its debut in 1996 in Tokyo.
And now, in Singapore, they have launched their latest Spring 2013 collection! The collection takes a spin with contrasting colours and fabrics in a single desig and works exquisitely with the use of simple and modern optical art motifs.
The Spring 2013 collection also features designs with an oriental touch, inspired by kimono dresses with elements such as wide belts resembling kimono obi, and feminine details such as sheer fabric and nude colours.
I personally like the floral pants in the picture below. One can never go wrong with florals for spring. Instead of bold and loud prints, go for understated monochrome pieces to add just the right amount of edge to any outfit.
Really really like earthy warm colours. And even in pictures, they look comfortable when worn.
Each piece of clothing is specially selected from high quality fabric that is resistant to wear and tear and yet so lightweight and comfortable.
Accessories are also available to cater to the different outfits.
Bags, who doesn’t love them?
The orange one is so so adorable!!
This was what I wore there (I had exams before that so I rushed like mad!)
Specially dressed in simple to match the name “Natural Beauty Basic” 🙂
There was a little contest, that is to wear mix and match the outfit from their clothes/accessories/shoes in 20 minutes and the 2 winners will walk away with the entire outfit.
My pick was the Synthetic Leather Jacket ($109) with a knith ($59) and a floral scarf (49) underneath. Matched the top with a pair of warm coloured pants ($79) and ended it off with their straw bag ($79) for a Spring summer look. I didn’t match their shoes because I think my wedges are suitable for the look.
The scarf is made from 100% Acrylic and pants, 82% Cotton, 15% Cellulose and 3% Polyurethane.
I find them very very affordable for such quality and comfortable wear – Well, pants could easily cost over a hundred right?
Really love the outfit I matched with. So camwhored :X
Look as if I was going on a holiday to somewhere cold~~~
In the end, Jessica (Shiberty) amd me won!! YAY!! I get to keep the entire outfit (except for the bag).
I was happy like mad but I had to act calm. I had been lusting for the jacket ever since I first saw it when the emcee was introducing the clothes to us. Hehehehe.
Other than their clothes, they also provided a lip and eye makeover by Lunasol for us. So thoughtful of them.
Food after the contest to feed the hungry us 😀
So love this polaroid that I made boyfriend keep it in his wallet. HAHAHAHAA.
Natural Beauty Basic is located at:
Takashimaya Level 3, Ngee Ann City

Isetan Orchard Level 1, Wisma Atria
This Spring/Summer 2013 marks Levi’s 140th anniversary of its iconic 501 jeans by introducing a non-denim Levi’s 501 collection for the first time.
Breaking with tradition, yet maintaining the product’s true essence and timeless spirit, the 3 piece non-denim collection is available in true chino, chalk blue and mineral red.
To celebrate it’s 140th anniversary, they held an event at Ion Orchard with 4 celebrities namely, Felicia Chin, Xu Ya Hui, Tosh Zhang and Ian Fang.
Camwhored a bit while waiting for the event to start.
They made me look so short here. Should have worn platforms instead of flats.
Having heard Ivy Tan on 933 before, but never seen her at all, she’s so stylishhhhh!!
And she was the emcee that day.
They made their appearance by doing a catwalk on the stage and Tosh, as usual, did his signature pose. Hahahaha. He look quite friendly that day (given that his signature face is always the unhappy and cool face). But I do know that the unhappy and cool face was his “style”.
After the catwalk, they had to dress their shirtless guy up in Levi’s clothes and explain the chosen style.
Felicia Chin and her style for her model.
Ian’s model.
Ya Hui’s model. She was so cute, saying how cute and handsome her model was.
She even offered to be the pole for her model’s pole dance LOL.
I didn’t manage to get a clear shot of Tosh’s model :/
But anyway, take a look at the 4 celebrities in the picture below. I like Ya Hui’s style best but Felicia Chin’s way of wearing the shirt is pretty unique, Tosh has this boy boy look and
The jeans that all of them are wearing are Levi’s 501 design. So which one do you like best?
After dressing up all their models, the audiences had the chance to vote for their favorite look and the winning model would go back with the full set of Levi’s apparels on him!
Guess who won?
It’s non other than Ya Hui’s cute dimples model! Hahahhaha.
This is definitely one of the BEST events so far and I am very enthusiastic to share with you guys!
On 6th April 2013, I boarded Joyville (the official Cadbury bus) to an extremely marvellous place. Not just the whole exterior, the whole interior was extremely cute too.
You can also charter Cadbury’s Joyville bus by simply spending S$20 on Cadbury. For more information, please visit joyrider.sg or give +65 62328515 a ring!
I think it was specially designed in such a way where you can no longer feel blues in the bus.
Chocolate brings smile and Cadbury brings joy! When we went up, we could see cute and colorful props on the seats. On top of that, we were given the “boarding ticket”. HOW CUTEEE!!
We didn’t had to wait for the crews to tell us to put on the props. We automatically put it on and starting snapping away.
The purple ticket Meryl was holding in her hand was the “boarding pass”.
On the way to the venue, we also participated in the best tweet competition where 3 best tweets would be selected and rewarded with the hashtags #joyridersg #cadburysg.
A similar picture from below was used with the caption:
“Heading to somewhere marvellous with Joyville! #cadburysg #joyridersg http://instagram.com/p/XwT3TojEJu/”
Miss Fruit Top was giving out chocolates to all the blogger onboard and we were screaming like little kids. How carefree. I feel like a kid all over and kids are happy people.
“Now, hand over all your chocolates. Make me a happy pirate. I can be the pirate of Jelly Beans for your Marvellous Creations.”
Reached our destination and more fun begins! The whole place was booked for the event.
Local music band “After hours” were there to play good music too. And not forgetting the marvellous magicians too!
Still very joyful.
What attracted me first was this blind tasting booth. I DAMN SMART HOR I TELL YOU.
Being a Cadbury fan, I can differentiate them VERY well. Hehehe. I didn’t get any wrong and I was so proud of myself I tell you.
The prize was an EXTREMELY *SCREAMS* CUTE Cadbury 2GB thumbdrive.
That’s Ying Jie tasting the chocolates. We have to get all 3 chocolates right in order to win the thumbdrive.
My turn. Peanuts, peanuts peanuts. I am not called a Cadbury Fan for nothing!! I won a thumbdrive for myself and people started asking me for help because they wanted the thumbdrive as well but couldn’t get it right. I won too many times to the extent that the lady had to ask me to eat 3 flavours at 1 go (mouth). So sad! I could only win 1 for myself. The rest were for the other bloggers there.
SO FUN!!!! WHY I SO PROUD AND THICK SKIN! Hahahaha.
Indeed. A marvellous journey to joy. The chocolates there were free flow. We were told to grab whatever we want home. Of course, I brought so many home that I was so scared that my bag would snap. Hahahaha. I really really like them. I always buy them from NTUC whenever I visit them.
I also won more chocolates for one of the best tweets! YAY~~~~~
So the Marvellous Creations comes in 3 different flavors.
All come them come in small bars too except the Peanut Toffee Cookie.
My favourite is Jelly Popping Candy Beanies because I love jelly beans and the popping candy makes it fun to chew!
Yay! Meet the 3 Marvellous ambassadors. Brad Lau, Beatrice Tan and Maureen Ow!!
They had a pinata to hit each with their respective flavors. Brad and Beatrice managed to break it within 2-3 hits but Maureen needed more hits. LOL so cute!!
Almost there~~~~~~~~~ Eat more chocolates!!!!
Each box had a hidden chocolate bar with a sticker. And that’s the golden ticket to the night safari.
Total 3 boxes and YAY!!!! I managed to find the sticker after quite some time of digging!!!
It was quite a free and easy event so everyone was busying acting cute, being happy, trying out chocolates AND TAKING PHOTOS.
So cute!! But I was photobombed. Hahahaha.
We had a really fun time taking instant prints at the Photo Booth! And I had a lot of stupid faces. LOL. The most epic one is below. HAHAHAHA. I can’t believe that this face is going to be found in Facebook 🙁
I was too happy and lively that I lost myself. I got drunk in chocolates. I came up with caption for each photo.
“Oh my god?! Really? Cadbury? GIVE ME, GIVE ME MORE, GIVE ME MORE!”
“oh so shyyyy. I tried to sing Britney’s song”
“How about the chocolates singing “I believe I can fly~~~ right before I get digesteddd~~”
“If I can’t eat it, I’ll still lick it like a chocolate hotcream”
“But just by licking is not enough!!!”
“Nevertheless, chocolate has this special power to make one happy, so let’s spread the joy shall we?”
“Okay lah, come I give you a hug and more cadbury later.”
Time to stop fooling around and act all decent again LOL.
Here’s a picture with the pretty Beatrice!
With Uncle Joy and Brad!
Mehmeh, feeling all happy like a little girl.
It was time to bid goodbye (AAAWWWW) but I really like the idea of taking the joyville again 😀
Look at the smiles on our faces, it just goes to show how successful the whole event was!!
I am sure that you will love Joyville as much as me too!
The celebration of the 10th anniversary of Goldwell’s Colour Zoom was at Dream (old Zirca).
As one of the world’s top color and hair care brands, Goldwell is highly regarded as an industry leader in the latest hair fashion trends and for 2013, Goldwell is kicking it up a notch with its Color Zoom BEAUTIFY Collection of new hair trends, created by its Global Color Zoom Creative Team.
Brought my bestie along for the event. You will be seeing more of her in my event posts now 😀
The stage. And my my, Dream looks like a good place to party.
Cranberry Vodka.
Girls always do what they do best while waiting 😀
With flash. Thank god our face aren’t too oily even though it was already night time.
The Color Zoom Global Event is an annual phenomena since 2007. Within the Color Zoom 2013 BEAUTIFY collection, moderate shades are mixed with unconventional colors to create unique effects. All color schemes show a flowing transition by merging different shades: Earth, rusty shades are combined in an innovative way while pastel candy colors give blonde-hair an unexpected appeal.
First up was the opening segment by Ken Hong (Singapore).
He is the Goldwell Regional Ambassador for Asis as well.
Followed by Fascinature by Delos Oh of Sabun Cabane (Singapore).
Delos was an International Competitor for Coldwell Color Zoom 2012 under the Global Creative Category.
I would say that his work included more colors.
Another Fascinature by Reno Tan of Hairloom (Singapore).
Past national winner for Goldwell Color Zoom 2012 for New Talent Category.
Similar to Delos, they had more colors in their hair works.
I like this blonde coloured hair with a streak of pink.
Beautify by Peter Wu (Taiwan).
He’s the Goldwell Global Master.
His models that day showed us the lively side.
This hair combination (Colour + Style), isn’t it stylish and suitable for Asians?
Avante Garde by Mario Krankl (Salzburg, Austria)
Goldwell Global Master
He has been a hairdresser for 28 years. With 20 years of working with Goldwell under his belt, he has been a part of Color Zoom Master Team for 2005, 2008 – 2012.
Being a veteran in the Master Team, he has worked with Challenge Winners who bring about fresh perspective into the Team. With new insights, concepts provided and his experiences, the Global Color Zoom Creative Team develops a trend collection that are relevant to the world of fashion and beauty.
Let’s take a look at his works now. And I must say that I really like them especially the first picture below.
They give off the princess-y and doll-liked aura.
Did you enjoy the show just by looking at the pictures? Well, I did!
Excellent service because I got my box within 24 hours after accepting the review.
You know the kind of feeling when you receive a surprise box? Yes yes. HAPPY AND EXCITED.
I was a little disappointed when I opened it up to find little items inside. (Yes, a little) Probably because I have long heard of Vanity Trove and their raves so I was expecting more from them. But of course, they didn’t promise that it would come with a lot of products to review. So it’s mainly my own problem. Heh.
TADAH~ Here’s what inside April Box (It actually seems quite look afterall. Hahaha)
This time round, Elizabeth Arden joins the ranks of Vanity Trove’s luxury brand partners to introduce Visible Whitening range to bust melanin formation from the evil sun.
I have long heard of Elizabeth Arden but never had a chance to try them out. Thank you Vanity Trove!
Note: Skin appears to be darker/yellower due to the lightings.
Look, totally blends in with my skin well. Non-sticky. Totally love it!
Non-sticky is a bonus because some BB cream can really get cakey and sticky on the skin which kind of irritates me because I hate oily skin so I can’t stand a tinge of grease on my face.
Smoothing cleanser – $55 for 125ml.
The micro beads melt when you cleanse your face, leaving the skin more even tone.
Now, for the melanin control night capsules – $140 for 50 capsules.
There was 2 capsules in the packet.
Tried applying it at night.
The fluid is quite yellowish. Doesn’t look good because it look like some sort of plasma fluid HAHAHA.
But don’t judge a book by its cover. I like of like it after effect. It leaves my skin moisturized and smooth. I like this product 😀
Dr Ci:Labo, a popular label from Japan crafted by dermatologists.
Super moisture EX.
I like its small sized. Easy to carry around. Light fragrance.
Super cleansing EX – $50 for 100ml on the left and Super washing foam – $47 for 120ml on the right.
Easy to wash off. And super cleansing EX has a very light texture too.
It doesn’t make your skin dry and it can remove the most stubborn make up!
Lastly is the BB Perfect Cream – $67 for 30g (Tskk, sounds a little pricey)
I have yet to try it yet but I know it’s one of the product that many people are raving at.
It can be used as a make up base, cream or essence, so I guess it’s worth the price!

Launch of the 2nd year of RHB-The Straits Times National Spelling Championship 2013 was held on 25th Jan 2013 at Shaw Lido.
It is also known as the Big Spell, and pupils from all over Singapore will battle it out from March to April and compete for the title of the nation’s Top Speller!
This year’s preliminary round will kick off on March 9 this year, with more than 1,000 students from about 180 primary schools taking a paper test as a first step to qualify for the zonal rounds and the grand finals of the RHB-The Straits Times National Spelling Championship 2013.
Rich rewards are in store for those who make it to the top. The champion speller will take home $5,000 cash and win for his or her school the Challenge Trophy. The first and second runners-up will win $3,000 and $1,000 in cash respectively.
This event is organised by the RHB Banking Group and The Straits Times, in partnership with the Ministry of Education. It is also powered by technology partner iQ-Hub and supported by the National Library Board.

And yes, yours truly attended the event with a whole lot of cute primary school kids!
So happy I met Grace there! Lucky I wasn’t alone all the way 😀 (Picture credit: Grace)
All the 3 mascots.
1st in line, Little Red Dot, 2nd, A+ student and lastly, the RHB bank mascot. I like the middle one most!
I can totally blend in with them~ *act young*
When we entered the theatre, all the primary school kids were already seated inside cheering.
SO CUTEEEE! I love fat children most. *pinch pinch*
The contest aims to develop a greater appreciation of the importance of spelling in literacy development among primary school pupils and is organised in partnership with the Ministry of Education (MOE).
It’s good to have fun and educate the kids the importance of spelling at the same time.
Look at how excited they were. I wish I can turn back in time and go back to the phrase where joy and life were so much easier back then.
Grace and me again while waiting for the whole programme to start.
After the speeches from both RHB and Straits Times, there was a spelling competition going around the primary school kids and everyone was so excited to answer.
After all, who wouldn’t?! And at that moment, I saw a fat kid with a cookie lollipop in his hand swinging and dancing for his school LOL UBER CUTE.
Lastly was a spelling challenge between 2 schools via a game which is downloadable via tablet.
3 in each time and the winner team will get a hamper.
MY GOD. When I saw the hamper I was so jealous. Other than the misc items like bags, water bottles and school related stuffs, there was a digital camera for EACH of the kid. I want!!!
All in all, this is a good way to introduce more new words to the kids because they get to play and learn at the same time. The more they play it, the more words they learn. Wish learning was this fun during my days.
All moms should totally go and download it :O
