A Floral Spring in Paris

My train’s going off in three hours, but I do have time to share some outfit pictures in Paris - the City of Lights or the Capital of Style, if you like. Also my favourite city in the world!
I’ve spent more time sitting in cafes and browsing boutique stores like Colette this vacation as compared to last year [...]

Windmills of Holland

A couple of days ago, I took a day trip from Amsterdam to visit the Zaanse Schans windmills! I’d say the windmills are definitely a must-visit. It’s a 45 minutes journey from Amsterdam Centraal Station via train and a boat-ride.
By a stroke of good luck, every city I’ve visited had the best weather - cloudless, sunny, [...]

Notes on Berlin

I’m visiting a friend in Paris, so I get to hang out atop a hill where we can see the Eiffel Tower twinkling at night. Its also the first stop where I get to use the Internet. Let’s start with Berlin. Apart from Calypso, I found the museums to be my favourite stops in Berlin. [...]

A Day Out in Town Burning Plastic

Having credit cards is a relatively new thing for me. Like all of the key symbols of financial independence, I embrace it whole-heartedly. But it definitely is not doing my finances any good! Its simply too easy to hand over the card and sign on the dotted line - you just don’t feel the [...]

Laidback Sunday

More often than not, I prefer to keep Sundays quiet to prepare myself for the return to work the next day. Or I may have mellowed with age (with my party days mostly behind me), so I prefer weekend brunches, a nice book and cheesy blockbuster reruns on TV to braving the crowd in more [...]

Stephie In Berlin

Trying to access the Internet when one is on the road is a great challenge - not only is it often costly, it is of course much preferable to spend one’s precious vacation time frolicking outdoors than indoors with a laptop.
That’s why Stephie has hastily uploaded some photos and left me to post them up, [...]

WOW! 100 Wine Tasting Coupons!

Yesterday, my friends and I trooped down to the Botanical Gardens for the World of Wines (WOW) wine-tasting event. There were 50 different wines from all over the world to be tried. Being the wine fiends that we are, this was pretty exciting news.
We had to purchase coupons (1 coupon for 1 tasting), and they [...]

The Essence of Style

Even though girls always talk about wanting to find a good boy to settle down with, my observations tell me that girls actually just want to be with bad boys.
As for me, I’ve been known to prefer the goodies, hence the crazy fawning over Dan (and now, it seems, Nate!), but what I cannot resist [...]

Walk A Day in My Shoes

I’m not sure if this is a common practice, but I set aside a monthly budget for new shoes It may not be much (and I often exceed the budget anyway), but a couple of pairs of new shoes each month is a little treat I give myself. Contrary to popular belief, I do [...]

Delving into Androgyny

I’ve been feeling very bored with my wardrobe lately. The poofy floral dresses of Spring and gem coloured frocks which have been keeping me contented and happy for the past few months feels dated and wrong, somehow, as I look upon them in recent weeks. I’ve wiped my heels, tucked them into the comfortable darkness [...]
