a very long while.

i had an amazing mushroom risotto for my birthday. it was at marina bay sands. the texture was beautiful; bit coarse, but glides smoothly down your throat. there was a familiarity in the flavour. not too strong, but still substantial.





i made squid ink pasta with arrabiata portobello cream, served with calamari &
sage shrimp, topped off with romano cheese and sweet basil. note to self: use emmantel cheese next time.

crazy for jil sander now.

as a stylist, i tend to notice the proportions and general ensemble more than an individual piece of clothing, because the overall play appeals just as much as the intrinsic value of a singular item. i loved the styling of the spring showcase from jil sander, mostly because i could imagine this on a regular fashion person. the lengths and fit, or the lack of rather, creates a vision of a wearer who doesn't care too much to plan and ponder on what to wear. right down to the fact that they sent models out with two bags in hand; it's a fact -- we lug our lives around we are almost always with a paperbag. so why not make that paperbag jil sander and leather?

haunting.

Celebrating its 160th anniversary, Lane Crawford enlists fashion insiders such as Anna Dello Russo, i-D Magazine, Kate Lanphear and Nina Garcia for a collaborative project featuring custom Burberry trench coats. Photographed by Pierre Debusschere, the Heritage campaign goes viral with model Rasa Zukauskaite appearing as a digital ghost in the obscured images.

marni resort 2011

my new day job in the female team leaves me no time to blog. but i love my job. it's special to be part of a dynamic team that pushes the pages. and my appreciation is that much greater now, after seeing the effort poured into the pages.

marni's resort collection was a huge hit for me. i love how she dabbles with colour with such hutzpah. most people think minimalist is to be void of colour, but every season, marni is the one house to prove you wrong. see for yourself.
