White on White

Had Sunday brunch with some of my favourite girls recently at Maison Ikkoku. It was a blisteringly hot day, so I decided to throw on a white on white ensemble to keep cool. Went for mass before that, and while I generally *try* not to wear shorts to church (some people think it improper; I say it’s a question of what shorts and how you style it so it doesn’t look sloppy), these are ‘skorts’ – so I decided the piece counted as more of a skirt than shorts, haha.

I am not much a fan of western breakfasts; am super Singaporean in that I love my meepok dry, mee siam and wanton mee best for breakfast, but I made an exception for the girls (and for Maison Ikkoku)! It lived up to its hype – one of the yummiest scrambled eggs I’ve had in this country.

French Toast with Fresh Berries – great if you prefer a sweet, rather than a savoury, breakfast!

Not an Eggs ben kinda girl, but I have to admit that T’s choice wasn’t half bad.

I recommend making reservations – it was packed when we went around 1pm on a Sunday!

Red & White

So this beautiful country turned 48 on 9th August, and the girls and I had an impromptu celebration at A’s place! She cooked up a feast for us while we…ate. Haha. L brought ice-cream (to go with her home-made brownies!) and I brought wine (and an appetite!).

A believes in making stuff from scratch – her seafood patties were super yums! Here’s when I was being super unhelpful in the kitchen – documenting and stealing food, but not doing any actual baking or cooking.

Her mum had her own party, and she was sweet to send over some home-made vadai our way! They were chockablock with prawns, and were really savoury and tasty!

Theme was red and white – seems not everyone took it quite as literally…

Happy 48th birthday, Singapore! To many wonderful years ahead.

Brigitte Bardot Forever

Was recently in Manila for a magazine shoot, and the kind sponsor, Sofitel invited us to their ‘BB Forever’ event, an event to celebrate the beautiful Brigitte Bardot. I love Brigitte Bardot’s classic beauty and sensuality – the woman is sexy without even trying! The theme for the night was to come looking like Bardot. Funnily enough, in my earlier days modelling, I was styled to look like Brigitte Bardot for a magazine – Seventeen magazine, if I remember right. My mum probably has the pictures somewhere…will post it if I manage to find them!

Anyway so I definitely had an idea of what the look entails, and how I wanted to look. I brought along a little cocktail dress that I had scored from a vintage store in Thailand years ago, low-heeled red Mary Janes and Sha, the makeup artist on shoot with me, kindly offered to help me with my hair and makeup. The final result!

And here’s the entire team that was in Manila for the shoot – thanks for making me look pretty!

Some of the gorgeous guests that night.

Bardot-themed cocktails, and St Tropez-inspired nibbles.

And a Bardot-inspired fashion show!

And here are a few of my favourite Bardot moments:
