Fashion & Style Diary
Final part of this chat with Divian and Dee Kosh from 987fm (otherwise known collectively as The Double D’s), and this time they talk about what to wear on a first date, what styles they hate and…which men they love (seems we have the same taste!).

Radiant Orchid was named the ‘colour of the season’ by Pantone, and said to ‘intrigue the eye and spark imagination’ (Shannon Mason, J.C. Penney trend expert). I looked into my wardrobe and realised I have nothing in this blend of fuchsia and purple – the horrors! Lol.
Found this burgundy pleated top with Radiant Orchid flowers stitched on the sides, so it’s have to do for now!
At the risk of sounding like a fashion victim, I do think it’s a pretty shade, and one that is flattering on Asian skin tones, so time to stock up!

I loved swirling around in this skirt and top combi so much!

Second part of this chat with Divian and Dee Kosh from 987fm (otherwise known collectively as The Double D’s), and this time they talk about fashion disasters, their own personal style, and what women should wear to get their attention – it’s not what you think!

Peplums, neon, mullet dresses, skater skirts, block heels…these were cool in 2013 but are they still hot in 2014? I found myself forced (by lack of space!) to do a massive clear out before Chinese New Year to make way for all my new clothes, and realised that there were certain things I couldn’t see myself wearing in 2014.
If you faced or are facing a similar dilemma, you’ll be pleased to know that I’ve done some of the legwork for you!
I’ve also included tips on what to buy to update your wardrobe for 2014 so you look fresh and current. You can thank me by sharing the video! =)

I sometimes run past the beautiful Gardens by the Bay on my long runs, and most races now incorporate that beautiful part of this wonderful country in the official route. Every time I run past, I peek in to see this beautiful, paradise-like place on the other side of the glass. I have actually been inside for photoshoots, (you can see one such shoot here), but it’s different when you are there for work and on a tight schedule to get all the shots in – there isn’t the luxury of really enjoying the place. On my list for 2013 was to make the time to take my folks and my gran there to be able to really explore and appreciate the wonderful flora.
I won’t share the many pictures from the day with my family as they prefer it this way (for those who have asked, that’s why I sometimes have food or holiday posts where I am all alone!), but what happened after that outing was that I was so impressed by the beauty of the place, and how lovely their Christmas display was, that I was determined to shoot an episode of ChicPeek there.
I am glad to say we made it happen! Together with my production team, Luff Media, we shot at Gardens by the Bay in December for a special festive edition of ChicPeek.. Many, many thanks to my good friend, Valencia Taye (better known as Val, or tangaci to me, haha), who is a horticulturalist at the Gardens, for being instrumental in getting us clearance!
The Gardens consists of the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest. Here’s an overview (literally; it’s taken from a higher vantage point) of the Flower Dome, which Val told me is the ‘dry’ part of the Gardens.
The succulents.
This was their super cute Christmas Sugar Mountain display!
And this is the super impressive waterfall at the Cloud Forest, the ‘wet’ party of Gardens by the Bay.
I love the place and I am proud that it’s one of Singapore’s attractions. One piece of advice if you’re planning on going though – take along a jacket as it’s pretty cold in there!
