Gypsy

/ / m a i n / /

hello!!
im back to share a lookbook photoshoot i modelled for:)
this brand shouldn't be unfamiliar to you guys as i've been modelling for them for quite some time now (when my schedule permits that is!)

this time we worked on an accessory shoot and it was quite different i must say!
enjoy the visuals!









my pick for this collection will be the simple but really pretty seashell necklace in the second last photo!
its really dainty and simple but still beautiful.
not sure if you guys can see it clearly but it has a shiny shell base and a pearl in the middle of it.
the turquoise pieces are also pretty unique, it'll be more of statement pieces i would say, as compared to the seashell necklace which is a classic to me.

shop this collection now at Pyzis.

other than accessories, this is the period of time when everyone's frantically looking for cny clothes right? (me included!!)
so i thought i'd share some of my picks from zalora, where i ended up getting my cny outfits from:)
this is non sponsored btw, i was just panicking that day over cny outfits then i decided to give zalora a go and whoaaaa i was so impressed by their huge selections!!
managed to score my cny outfits at one go hehe!

okay i'll admit i got sidetracked halfway while shopping for cny clothes haha, ended up buying stuff for daily wear to school too!
my favourite sandals from the editors market was peeling already after much turmoil from the rain :(
so its time to look for a replacement!
i liked these 2 below!
it helped that the prices are so friendly as well!:)
ps/ got additional 15% off the prices somemore cos i got a zalora code remember!! share it again with u guys later:)


end up i chose this one below!!
its like a dupe for birkenstock's rio, a design that i've been eyeing for the longest time ever but didn't bear to get cos it was aboutt $150sgd?! :(
so u can imagine i was super elated to see this!!
the design is practically the same hehe.

oh this was my second pick!!
i have too many white shoes but omg, cannot resist?!
gonna cart this out together with my mum after she decides on her zalora loots :)


and this omg.
L O V E.
topshop shoes are usually super pricey, like $100 and up so i was really surprised and delighted to see this at a rly good price?!
and the design is just perfection!!
so sleek!!

after much digression i finally moved on to clothes haha.
ok actually, still digressing, cos i looked at casual clothes i could wear to school lol!
these were a few!!
ribbed top at $17.90 before discount? G E T.


these below aren't really for my age (yet), but i thought it'd be nice to share that zalora has alot of workwear clothes also??
and at very affordable prices!!
usually ladies in the office would shop at like, say, G2000, or like dorothy perkins etc, which isn't the most pocket friendly sometimes.
so this is a really good alternative!:)



these are pretty yet suitable for officewear too!!


and of course, for people my age, there's A L O T of choices!
i was totally aiming for this bralet top, the cut and print so nice hehe.
and after discount its like less than $20 :o


these were nice too!!
so many temptations haha


and yes, finally after digression, i moved on to something abit dressier for cny!!:)
i liked both these dresses!
the coral tangerine shade is so cny hahaha.
and i just can't get over stripes, soooo pretty!!
(oh if u noticed, ellysage is a local brand, these are available at their official website too but like, if buy on zalora got discount so... hehe.)




after so many years, still a sucker for floral maxis hahahaha.
but these are way too gorgeous!!




black is a favourite for alot of girls cos of its slimming effect, so i thought this would be a rather popular choice!

oh and i discovered that they got this new section called korean fashion haha.
its not bad leh, they got a mix of girlier clothes and more korean street fashion chic!
if i were still as girly as last time i'd totally go for these below haha.


but now i'd totally be eyeing these instead hehe!!


ok i hope this mini cny shopping catalogue was useful?:)
so excited for my zalora loots to arrive yay!
oh yes, and remember to use my code ZBAPQF9W for 15% off your purchase!:)


PS/ i've just joined snapchat so add me up at @etherealpeonies to take a peek into what i do daily!
and of course, dayre for more frequent updates :)

till the next;

L'etoile


/ / m a i n / / 

not many of you may know this but i'm currently working as a tuition teacher:)
and one thing i really love about this job is the time flexibility.

my mornings to mid afternoons are always free because my tutees are in school, and so on a random weekday i decided to go on a date with my mom to spend some quality time together!

we went for brunch at L'etoile Cafe:)
its near Novena and you can take a bus from novena mrt.
mom took some photos for me and i have to say she's getting pretty good at this!


the watch im wearing here is kindly sponsored by bicycles!
like the name suggests, they sell bicycles, but of course it doesn't stop at that:)
they sell loads of accessories and gadgets as well, from selfie sticks (which i blogged about here) to stuff like sports watches, like the one i'm wearing here.
i'm really glad to have received this in white because its so modern and chic!
i also received this in a nice box, along with spare batteries so this would make a good gift!

here's what we ordered for the day!

matcha red bean chiffon cake
 salted caramel chiffon cake
 salmon pasta
 truffle fries
 the verdict?
l'etoile is not worth a visit for the food, in my honest opinion.
everything is mediocre, or even below standard, except the pasta which was passable.
or perhaps its because i prefer denser cakes?
cos the chiffon cakes seem abit..lacking substance.
its basically like pandan cake, just wayyy pricier.
the truffle fries aren't bad to be fair, but the portion is crazy scary and this ranks at the bottom amongst the cafes which i've tried truffle fries at (i.e strangers reunion, ps cafe, habitat etc)

on a side note, l'etoile's interior deco really is pretty.


 here's how l'etoile looks like on the outside.
its abit inaccessible, from novena mrt you'll have to take a bus.


i've also been really addicted to reading nowadays.
call me a mugger but really, reading can be so enjoyable.
i currently have my eyes glued to Brandon Sue's fantasy trilogies and i highly recommend you guys to try reading it too!!


L'etoile cafe has a cozy reading corner on the second level fyi ;)


& here's my outfit details for the day!

top from the closet lover
skirt from zalora
wedges from asos


i got the skirt at 20% off from zalora's retail store at ION, so worth it!!
and the wedges were on sale too, they lengthen my legs magically omg, love it :)))

took a selfie with mummy.
my mum looks really young for her age huh ;) 
if i were as pretty as her at her age i'd be so lucky already!



till the next;
