Cat Socrates


I just dropped my vintage items off at Cat Socrates today, do drop by to take a look!

Cat Socrates is a lifestyle concept shop, set in a corner of bras basah complex. A really nice place to chill out, relax and get some (not so mainstream) great finds :)

The Princess and the Pea


This is a literal, yet abstract inspiration from the story “The Princess and the Pea”.


Fine, gold threaded bedding and… no prizes for guessing what the green jade bead represents!

Being on the topic of delicateness, I decided to explore with lace – which I think exudes femininity and of course, delicateness (these are really delicate pieces). Note that I used the same word thrice in a sentence!

I used a soft colour palette for this series…I’m also crazy in love about the idea of having lace draped over the shoulder. Some of them can be used as headpieces too! Just requires a few bobby pins to secure them in place :)

I didn’t want to spoil the aesthetics of these pretty accessories but there was no other alternative other than myself! So yes, I’ll be sourcing for a human-sized mannequin ASAP! And for the time being, I hope you do enjoy viewing!

Delicate Princess


A Dainty Summer

White Allure Series

I'm addicted to...

Ginger tea!

U know the nice ginger tea that spas serve before and after your massage... I've always wondered how they brew it...

I've googled online, to find that most recipes only include ginger, and lemon (for cold remedies)... which just doesn't taste anything like those from the spas...

So i finally asked my mother how... and yes I've found out how to make it!


I love to brew it and have it before bedtime... feels really comforting! Supposed to expel wind, coz I always have a bloated tummy.
