Mod

 / / m a i n / /

i feel extremely happy penning down this post cos i just had an awesome meetup with le bestie nipoo and we had great food!
ah, the simple joys in life.

we were both craving asian food (i'm abit sick of brunch food already..) so we opted for korean fare!
we met up on a public holiday and luckily, the restaurant was open.
 kko kko nara is located at tanjong pagar, just a 7 mins walk away from the mrt and is relatively easy to find!:)

we ordered their famous soy sauce fried chicken and army stew and boy was it good!
the chicken is a must try, we loved the sauce and it was fried well!
of course it can't compare to the actual ones in korea but this was already very good imo!
the army stew was more normal, it consisted of a spicy soup base, with ramyeon, toppokki, sausages, mushrooms, veggies, luncheon meat etc!
tbh its something that can be whipped up at home, but it was tasty la, especially since i was craving it so bad!
the bill came up to about 25per pax for this meal, and i think its a tad bit pricey but i would visit kko kko nara again, for its good service and yummy food.


i wore a comfy thin cotton shift dress, which is rather cute and the perfect choice for a heavy lunch cos its loose;)
andddd, it comes with pockets, which i'm SO obssessed with nowadays!!
the series of photos below are taken by nics:)
for goofy, behind the scenes pictures, head to my dayre!;)

pardon our crazy hair, had a very jialat bad hair day pffft.
but somehow i loved the slight messy, raw effect it helped portray in the series of half body shots below.

some derp face for you? hehehe



we wanted to catch cinderella but time wasn't quite on our side, so we settled for dessert at quarter to three, which is just a stone hop away from kko kko nara!
their desserts are quite pricey imo, the tiramisu and apple crumble was about 9.8 each.
the tiramisu is not bad, creamy texture but a bit overladen with rum.
as for the apple crumble, it was alright but nothing special. 
i thought it would be nicer if they didn't drizzle the strawberry sauce all over it.
probably won't be frequenting quarter to three any time soon since there are more affordable and tastier dessert shops around!
also, no plus points cos it wasn't photogenic enough to have its photo taken oops.


till the next;

Tulle


hello!
short pictorial post today, featuring a tulle collection from pyzis.
it was a tough shoot this time. 
we were supposed to shoot at punggol but it rained so we had to change location and by the time we made it to the new location it was already evening, thus the photos were dark and very hard to edit.

this collection is a really girly and feminine one, it reminded me of my old self haha.
i hope i still pulled off the girly look albeit not being so girly now!
my pick for this collection would be the last tulle skirt in peach, its a midi and has a flattering cut.
if you're not a fan of peach, they have it in a lavender shade as well.

shop the collection here.

also, pyzis is having sales this gss! up to 75% off, quite a good deal yes?
do check their sales page to see the discounted items:)

till the next;

Cerise

// p r e //

hello! 
got a bad hair day but still took some selfies cos i'm wearing a new lip colour today!
its a berry shade from mamonde, which i got during my korea trip!


although its supposed to be a berry wine shade, it slightly leans towards red and not entirely the dark, berry colour.
colour true to this picture below:
colour also true to this picture below:

met up with nics for brunch to celebrate her bday! 
this poor girl's bday is during the hols, which means it gets easily missed out!
but being a good bff, i always remember to celebrate with her hehe ;)

anyways we decided on SPRMKT cos their online reviews were pretty good!
but... we took like 45 mins to find it cos we totally went in the wrong direction -_-
really can't read maps for nuts sobs...
anyways, moral of story is to check up on directions beforehand lol.
a must order is their truffle fries as stated by online reviews!
i thought it was alright, but there are definitely better ones out there, my fav is still from Stranger's Reunion:)
they are very generous with their portions though!

we also got an eggs benny, which was not bad but not out of the world you get what i mean?


and lastly, the bangers and mash, which is basically sausage and mashed potato.
i really liked the mash potato!:)
the sausages come in either pork or beef btw!

and if you're wondering what "SPRMRKT" means, its actually just supermarket, minus the vowels.
its name is quite apt, cos other than serving brunch food, they sell groceries too, like fresh fruits and veggies and all these ceramic ware as you can see! 
also, they use the fresh produce in their store in their brunch food:)
on a random note i liked that we got number 18 as our number!
cos my bday falls on the 18 and my index number in primary school was 18 heh.
<3
this is how sprmrkt's front door look like!
look out for this if you want to go there for brunch, don't end up lost like us haha!

nics took some otds for me which turned out really nice!

top from tvd
skirt from lacepipe
bag from australia 
necklace from lacepipe

bow on my back <3

i took some otds for nics too!!
all my friends always they look and feel v awks when i take otd for them haha!
like i always say, if you don't feel awks, you won't look awks in the pictures :)
SO PRETTY :D
some selfies!
us in our natural silly state :x
(u see we have like what, 1 glam shot and the rest is....hahahaha)
and then we found some swings near the mrt!!
deja vu much omg, cos nanyang used to have these swings!
much feels :') 
anyway this nics is giving me the judging look but believe me she was having as much fun as i did hahaha
it started raining after like 15mins so we had to find a new spot to chill ._.
well but there's always room for dessert right!!
especially when its rainbow cake yayyyy
and not just any rainbow cake, its dean and deluca's, my fav!

we also had a caramel macchiato:)
i'd recommend this combi cos the slight bitterness of the macchiato is really refreshing after gobbling down the sweet cake!

till the next;
