Scotch Premium Kitchen Scissors (detachable)



Scotch premium kitchen scissors that also comes in a detachable version for more thorough cleaning. I really like the fact that it comes apart for cleaning after use. This feature doesn't affect the sturdiness or sharpness of this kitchen tool that costs less than S$20.


This handy kitchen tool can be used in place of a knife, cutting up meat or vegetables with ease. It also doubles as a cap opener.

UNIQLO - Disney - Pixar - Peanuts/Snoopy - Star Wars



Cartoon tie-ups used to be a staple for my wardrobe, as I am sure it is for many of us. UNIQLO is known to make affordable everyday clothes for everyone, so these Disney/Pixar/Star Wars/Snoopy T-shirts are greatly appreciated.

Delifrance's National Day Sandwich



Tried the Delifrance National Day sandwich created by michelin star chefs and it's really good. Who knew wakame could go so well with chicken and sweet thai chili sauce.

Romantic Knits


Some soft, pretty, fairy-like knitting projects for all girls to think about. 


All girls want a lace wrap, a much larger version of the shawl. And short of looking like you are wrapping a tablecloth around you, a fuzzy mohair or alpaca yarn woven into an intricate lace pattern is pure magic.


Sweet capelet, woven into lace from the finest 1ply or 2ply yarn in a pastel palette. The perfect addition to any wardrobe as it can be worn over anything and in any weather.


Or if you prefer a full cardigan. In lovely beaded, crystallized or sequined yarn.


A basic slip dress made from several different knit stitches. Knitted dresses are usually translucent so always wear another slip underneath.


A frilly scarf and matching beret or slouchy hat. The version below is made with metallic gold speckled yarn that gives it that gold dusted finish (Louisa Harding's Simonetta yarns).


Knitted items are not restricted to clothes as most people start with cushion cases, in this case embellished with a ribbon, soo frenchy.

Red Bobble Ruffle Scarf


Happy National Day!


The Nelly Bobble Mesh recommends 2 or 3 balls of yarn but I am using 4 balls of yarn to create 1 scarf in striking red.


This time, the knitting pattern changes to knit 1 row then purl the next and so on. An easier way to do this Knit/Purl is to transfer the mesh yarn onto the pegs opposite it and knit as per normal, then continue transferring the mesh yarn back and forth until the desired length is reached.


What this does is create a double sided scarf where both sides appear the same. I just placed the mesh onto the pegs as there are no sections to it, so there isn't any flounce in the ruffles.

Bottega Veneta S/S 2013 Fashion



A collection of mostly knee length dresses or separates put together to look like knee length dresses. Colours are muted and discreet but the combination of materials put together and detailing makes these clothes luxe. My personal favorite, that snake skin and chiffon dress that just flutters down the runway.


Bottega Veneta Men S/S 2013 is all khaki browns and blacks, very casual and laidback.


Couple of lace-ups on the clothes.


Some prints but done in muted colours and sorta greyed out to make it discreet.
