Furniture finds in Singapore :: King and King Wong

I dropped by King and King Wong (KKW), a Malaysian furniture retailer located in NEX mall, Serangoon. They are having a massive sale right now. All items are going at 50% off as they are moving out. Hopefully not out of Singapore.

Although I find the cost of furniture a bit on the high side, I do not mind bringing home their accessories and decor items. They have pretty nice stuff. Remember my turquoise chi dogs? I got the pair from KKW. A wide range of home essentials are available for the kitchen, display - apothecary jars and vases, laundry, paintings, bedding and furniture.

When I checked out KKW yesterday, most 'good' stuff were gone.

I'm not crazy about fake flowers but these ... just look SO real. They even feel real. I was on the verge of getting a purple hydrangea, some orchids and white roses (those were really gorgeous). But the snob in me emerged and I changed my mind. Sometimes I do not mind going an extra mile to get real flowers for my home.

If you are always on the lookout for decor items for events eg. crystals, candles, candle stands etc they have plenty of those left on the shelves all at 1/2 price. Do pop by quick but give them a call before heading down, just in case.

I ended up with ribbons, tinsels and black taper candles that were going for like SGD 2.60 each. I'm all set for gift-wrapping this year.

Decor Series :: My entry table with chinoiserie feel

So, this is my attempt at creating an entry-table vignette for Chinese New Year.

I've always had the turquoise chi dogs and I love them to bits. The framed picture behind is actually a wrapping paper with an IKEA frame, and of course when I saw these fuchsia orchids in a supermarket, I had to get them.

This is proof that you don't need to spend tons of money to get creative. Just work with what you already own at home.

I would also like to wish everyone a very happy Lunar New Year and for non-chinese, like me, have an A-MAZING break!

Girl's Night Out

Today, I met a very sweet french lady at Carla K's one night only hair, make-up and accessories seminar. She was one of the 4 jewelry designers that were invited to showcase their latest collections. Based in Singapore, she gets her orders handmade from a lady called Helene in Paris. All items are one-of-a-kind and best part of all, very affordable.

eye-candy galore! I am in ♥

Zalora

I found this local site Zalora that has stylishly modest collections of clothing and accessories for both the ladies as well as the guys! I am now furiously filling up my wish list.

Loving the turquoise stone clutch. Sophisticated + fun

Perfect for days when I juggle invoices, name cards, carpark coupons and reminders on event days. The price is super decent at only SGD 9.90

 I am a chunky jewellery person.

 This pair oozes beach glam vibe! I think super perfect for weddings or parties by the beach?

Ah.. who can resist zebra prints. I would wear this everyday.

Simple and stunning

Oh, I am so in love with her big curls. The outfits by Katie Ermilio are pretty stunning as well. Simple and completely wearable. Just my cup of tea.

Hump day

Well, its not been too bad today. The day started off on a good note when I learnt that the former boss of my partner in crime at work tendered his resignation. Let's just put it this way, we were never impressed with the way he works. His resignation will also implicate former colleagues we are not big fans of. I know ... bitchy bitchy.

My team and I received compliments from our customers for an entire year's work. They complimented me specifically for competence and professionalism in organising the events, which totally made my day. They are very difficult customers but this calls for a celebration as I survived the entire year!

It also feels wonderful when we brighten up someone's day. I bought my team-mates some accessories from Forever21 and am glad they started wearing it immediately.

We are also 2 days away to the weekend! YIPEE *pop champagne*
