It's been a long time since I have been here! Trying to revive the blog by posting one photo a day.

Feeling the blues today and opted for a simple knit with chiffon top and my favorite Oakley Capris.

Anyone is having a blue Thursday too?

Updating my #ootd for yesterday! :) In TCL Brushstrokes painted top in blue! Super adorable the cut / prints and everything about it haha.

Matched it with my trusty topshop jeans and a denim jacket! My heels were killing me even though they look super nice right?

It was actually super duper hot when we were taking this otd shot haha. Trying my best to look as chill as ever.

This top is still available in last pieces on TCL! The one in pink is sold out already but if you head down to MIYOC Jcube we still have some there heh. We also stocked in new arrivals *yay* so you can go down and check it outz too!

Close up of the top!

Orange is the new black so yup bertilla the caterpillar must have orange heels too muahahaaaa. These heels came in pastel yellow and orange and I had a hard time deciding between the two (almost bought both) but I settled for orange instead.

Will you be keen for us to manufacture such heels for TCL? Holler if you want us to do so! We have never manufactured pointed heels before so it'll be a big step for us haha.

I didn't wear these chained loafers but I wanted to show these pretty babies!! We waited so long for this design to arrive because it was quite hard for the supplier to find the exact shoe / chain and material / color.

Some customers have already bagged this at MIYOC! Don't fret if you went down and your size was oos because we'll be launching it on Tuesday. :)

These loafers seriously match almost all outfits haha. I'll try to see if I can dig up my old outfits and post here.

Here is one I found. You can also search #bertdressesup on Instagram and scroll down to see the OTDS where I wore these loafers. I think I deleted the old ones from my phone as there were too many pictures. :'(

If you are wondering why we did it in patent leather instead of matte ones, this pair looks much much better in patent leather. It looks classier and more expensive too. So don't think that it looks obiang because it is not ok! Hahaha.

Off to get my lashes extensions done. Be back later if all turns out well.

The queue at KFC at Yishun is sooo long oh gosh. I think that Yishun residents really love to have KFC haha. Anyw since I think I'll need to queue for at least 15 mins, time to update dayre! Sometimes dayre can be really convenient. 😊

Super satisfied with my new eye lash extensions! I had mine done at Point D'Beaute. This is not a sponsored advert etc but I read other bloggers' reviews and decided to try it out.

Turns out the previous salon I went to, the glue was stuck to my eyelid?!

This is why my eyelids were so itchy and why it was quite painful when they tried to remove my old lashes.

Anyway I felt so comfortable during the whole process that I fell asleep! No stinging glue / strong glue smell and it didn't even feel like I have eye lash extensions. :)

Gives off a really light feeling too! Yay so happy that I signed a package and @briannawonggg can use it too. Each session will work out to be about $106.

The previous salon's pricing is cheaper at around $50-60 but I have learnt my lesson and just pay more for a better experience and result. Carragheen works out to be about $160-170 per session so this is really quite worth it. It is at FEP if you are interested!

Updating another otd for TCL Aurora Embossed Dress! I really really adore this dress.

I mean I adore all our tcl items (of course hehe) but I am a girly girl and having a dress with a flattering cut makes me so happy!

It comes in a circle skirt cut so you can swirl and twirl for all you want muahahaaaa.

This dress will be more expensive because of the fabric used, denim polyester blend with velvet embossed details.

It'll be worth it in my opinion because such dresses can wear dressed up / down and for important occasions too.

The back of this dress is fully covered with a concealed back zip.

Okay I am feeling super famished now, KFC please try to serve your customers faster boo.

Dayre Two.

As promised, updates for the style nanda fashion carnival event yesterday!

@briannawonggg said I was crazy to want to queue for this event because min hee and sora were going to be there in person!

She said it's the most happening thing she has done since she turned 20 because it's such a young thing to do. -.-

We had a hard time finding their event's location because they didn't state ocean terminal until hours before the event. Luckily there was wifi in the mall to check their IG!

Joined the queue and waited for about an hour before we were allowed to enter hahaha. It was all worth it! It's only about an hour compared to queuing for hours right?

Believe it or not, we were among the first 50 who queued for the event so we had a goodie bag!! Heh. There was a 3ce square mirror, fabric refresher and lip crayon inside! Woohoo ~~~ hahaha never tried 3ce cosmetics before so I can try them out now. ;)

We weren't expecting much from this event to be honest but I was really blown away by the marketing and details put into it! Since it was a fashion carnival, we were given coupons to play games at various stations. Cool huh? 😍

There was a lucky draw too! Bree and I were number 134/135 and guess what? The two girls behind us, 136 and 137 walked away with a 1500HKD SN voucher!

Not fated with lucky draws but it was still thrilling to wait for the emcee to call out the numbers!

So the first thing we did when we entered the carnival was to... Zoom for the photo booth! We were thinking that the photo booth will be too crowded later to take photos but we were wrong! We realized later on that everyone else zoomed for the other stations because the freebies were awesome possum hahaha.

I think this was the coolest part of the carnival - a style nanda crane machine?!! I want a tcl crane machine next time if we have such an event too!!

Everyone seemed to be able to walk away with something and I managed to win a style nanda ring! Bree targeted the lip stick but sadly she didn't get it. :(

There was a makeup trial and tattoo sticker area too! I tried the makeup while Bree had her fake tattoo done. Hers is quite cute, it's a lightning shaped lipstick! :)

I tried their super pink lippie hahaha. The MUA gave me shimmery eyes and coral blush.

✌️✌️✌️ Happy me!

Purple faced us because of the purple lights. ✌️

I didn't manage to take a photo with them irl but well cardboard cut outs will do too HAHA.

We were almost about to leave when we heard that min hee and sora had arrived!! Literally zoomed back into the event area hahaha. They are so fair and pretty irl. *fangirl mode on*

Mission accomplished muahahaha. Thanks to @briannawonggg 's awesome new camera!

Look at the amount of people trying to take a photo of them. They were like superstars hahaha.

They left as quickly as they came but I was satisfied because I got to see them irl! :)

Oh I forgot to mention that there was also a memory game area whereby winners could walk away with style nanda stickers!

Not forgetting their cotton candy booth, DIY bag station and wheel of fortune area! Bree and I bagged a cleansing foam and eyeliner from the wheel of fortune booth hehe.

Goodies from the event! We went up to the style nanda store and I had another fangirl moment because Sora walked past me. (in the shop) So close!

Unfortunately the staff said that they were not in a very good mood that day so we couldn't take any photos with them. :((

Anyway, we checked out their apparels and felt that their workmanship wasn't very good. :/ Given their price we were expecting something better! But the clothes look so good on their models haha.

Our photo booth photo! :)

The style nanda backdrop was too cute! Took my #otd there. :)

Decked in #theclosetlover upcoming drop waist dress in pastel lime yellow!! Made of neoprene, it comes in navy and pastel pink too!

Close up of this pretty dress! It'll be launched in our next launch on Tuesday! 😊😊😁😁

Off to pack up my luggage and head home ~~~

Finally home! Taken at the airport with Bree earlier today. We look super fair here thanks to good lighting! 😁

#myfacelooksbighere

My airport otd in our TCL Diagonal Chiffon top, now already up on our website!

Matched it with a printed slouchy pants and my trusty leather biker jacket. I swear this biker jacket matches almost every outfit! I wear it overseas wherever I go haha. Still available via our sale section so get them before it's oos! ;)

One more to end the night! Enjoy your weekends while they last! :)

New rings today!! Been trying to find these rings since forever and they finally arrived in my mail!

The best part is they are adjustable so it fits my skinny fingers haha. Most rings I buy are too big for me. :'(

Anyway if you want us to bring this in for TCL holler and let me know! Not sure if our customers like rings haha.

Drop me a comment on askfm!

I am feeling all dressed up today in a TCL Sophomore Set in off-white! We did a matching blazer and front slit shorts, which matches so well with our tops! Have always, always wanted an all white ensemble because it is so crisp and clean! We finally did it!

Will post an otd later!

A sneak of the shorts can be seen here! Plaids top will also be launched in our stay-home Friday launch tomorrow at 830pm! The top is topshop inspired and you can wear it as an outerwear like I did last time too! Talk about versatility eh? ;)

Had another mini otd photoshoot today under the hot sun!
Decked out in my first full white ensemble, TCL Sophomore Blazer and Shorts set!

I have been wanting to own a full white outfit for a long, long time!
I like a full white outfit because it's super crisp and clean. :)

Shoes as seen will also be launched in our collection Tmr!!! It comes in pastel blue and white. If you are fan of chunky heels then this will be your fave!

A close up of the shorts. :)

It has a front slit that is not too high at all to amp up the style factor for this otherwise plain and basic shorts.

And a close up of the blazer!

This set comes in deep red and black. If you are fan of black I reckon you'll pick black, but if you love colors then red is the color for you too!!

One more close up of the shorts because it's too easy to match and versatile heh. ✌️

If you are wondering why we did the set in deep red, it's not that hard to match a red outfit actually!

And it helps you stand out from the rest and instantly ups your style ante. +100 pts for red!! Be bold and daring.

I love my new arm / ring candies!!! Been searching for these rings since forever.

Anyway full sneaks are up on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/theclosetlover! We have a special promotion going on for tomorrow's collection too! ;)

Had an impromptu dinner with the girls @siqiii and Krzs just now! Wanted to try the collagen steamboat but they were fully booked. :( Settled for skinny pizza!
