Fashion & Style Diary
So it’s been coooold lately (my idea of cold, anyway – I generally love the heat we have in the tropics!) but pretty nice to have the chance to wear my ‘Autumn/Winter’ wear here in Singapore. Not sure the lady behind me agrees on the weather situation though!

In this episode of styleXstyle TV, 987FM DJ Rozz and I battle it out in four different fashion challenges. Who wore it better? Let me know!
Ever been secretly envious of those girls who seem to regularly get a ‘gift’ or a ‘surprise’ in the form of a Chanel, Prada, Fendi, Givenchy bag from their significant other? You wish your boyfriend/husband would buy you that instead of yet another bottle of perfume, but not sure how to go about doing it? Some tips and tricks in this new video!

So one of the favourite things to wear is a basic white tee, and I decided to look through my wardrobe to find all my white ‘tees’. I have tons! I love them for their comfort and versatility – plus they go with everything(!) so they’re a great no-brainer for those I-have-nothing-to-wear days.
Asking around, I realise many of my friends have this ‘problem’ too, and so I decided to do an entire episode of ChicPeek on different ways to style this wonderful piece. You can check out the full episode here and here.
Here’s one of my current favourites, and a new acquisition too – a slouchy white tank top. I’ve styled it with a slight rock vibe here…
Trying to do the emo rocker look. Fail.
And a more preppy vibe here…

I am a huge fan of musicals. A lot of it is as a result of my mother; since my brother and I were children, she has taken the time and effort to cultivate in us an interest in the arts – I used to watch almost every Act III production, my first being when I was about six years old. She also took me to see a ballet at the end of each year, when the Singapore Dance Theatre would have their then-annual performance (usually The Nutcracker). She brought me to my first musical, Les Miserables, when they came to Singapore in the early 90s. My nine-year-old self was enthralled.
I was lucky enough to have caught The Phantom when the musical came to Singapore and performed at the Victoria Theatre (before there was MBS or the Esplanade!) when I was about eleven, and again when they came to Singapore in 2007 (and it was my turn to bring mum this time!), so I was stoked to be offered the chance to catch it again in 2013.
Thanks MBS, Grace and Channel 5! Special thanks to my childhood friend, Jade (yes, same name – that’s two dads with great taste!) from Time Taken to Make a Dress for the gorgeous gown!
Brad Little was the Phantom again – apparently, he has performed the role more than 2200 times around the world. No wonder he gave such a stellar performance!
My hot date for the night!
