Behind the Scenes


Happy Wednesday all! Just received a text from my eldest sister asking us to put aside N I N E pcs from tonight's launch. So touched :') She hardly gets this many from us, usually just 1 or 2 per collection. She got really excited this time after seeing the pictures from the shoot and immediately tried on every design. Fran is like our QC manager, always giving us feedback and advice on how to improve!


Photos from the outdoor shoot last week, me being the stylist for the first time!
Arrived at Chinese Garden
This reminds me of Huan Zhu Ge Ge, would be better without all the renovation going on thou
Team Access-ed!
Posing for a shot before the real work begins!
All the flowery clips
Stunning Freda, who wears size S for all apparels
This army printed changing tent Max bought, it's just so him! (Doubles up at a hanging rack)
Our inspiration!
Lu the photographer in Eliot Polka Blouse

My fav dress of the collection, such a flattering piece! Available in 2 sizes. Immediately told both my sisters that I'm keeping it for CNY, in case they intend to wear it as well haha kiasu much!
Then it started to rain after this shot, oh bummer..
Wellin Weave frock which Fran kept in Pale pink & Navy
Le Valley Top with Salvatore X shorts, the highly anticipated HWS which took almost 6 months to be ready after all the modifying and changing of fabric. *Phew*
Freda in Flynn Balloon sleeve Blouse with her very hilarious Bf
Still raining...
And the rain got bigger and we could only shoot at places with shelter, 辛苦了everyone
A not-very-flattering shot of me trying to pose
And that's about it!

Thank you Team Access-ed, Freda and bf for all the hardwork!
So glad the photos turned out pretty well :)



We were really starved by then, yet we went all the way to Tiong Bahru for Brunch @ Drips, highly recommended by Lu.
Pretty lady boss and their very delicious cakes & tarts
The menu which didn't have much variety

My smoked salmon croissant, really yumz
We are the messy eaters
Satisfied!
Sweetheart Lace Corset in Grey <3

 Swensens for dinner last night!
Cheesy mussels
One of the best fries
Not so yummy Salmon baked rice
Me in my fav Houston Dress, cannot emphasize more on how much I love this piece!!
Quality assured, gonna use more of this fabric in future :)



Outfit for movie @Down Town East. 
Didnt like the ending of the Turning Point because Laughing Gor shouldnt have died like that!!
Pretty pretty crochet details!
Our inspiration!


Alrighty, am praying hard nothing goes wrong tonight!
Feel free to ask me anything :) 
Till then...

    Hi Jolene! I chose size M for the X shorts. Cause I compared the measurements with other bottoms I bought last time. I'm quite tall and my hips are wide, and my thighs are quite big too..if the size M is too big for me is it possible to alter the shorts? Thanks!

    C - Haha yeaa indeed :) Mailing all paid orders tomorrow!

    Hi Christina! I doubt you can alter the shorts since there is no elastic band. A waist belt should do the job if it's too loose on you :)

    Hopefully sizeM fits you well!

    Hello. I hope Ohvola could include L size for the shorts as S and M sizes are too small for girls with bigger waist or hip.

Straighter teeth with Aurora Aligner :D (invisible braces)

Image
  Hey y'all!  So after so many years of procrastinating I am finally doing something to my teeth. Initially I still thought I could live with the crooked teeth issue but I realised, it's getting out of hand so it's time to seek help.      I just got started on it and I'm currently on my 4th set of aligner but I have so much faith in this journey already. So I first started googling and found myself shortlisting a few ways to straighten my teeth and at the end of it, Aurora Aligner it is. My doctor is Dr Krystle from Nam Fung Dental Clinic and it's located 10mins away from my office.   Since I am turning 30 this year, I reckoned it's not too ideal for me to go for the traditional metal braces. So invisible braces it is!  Fun Fact: I had braces done when I was primary 4 on my upper jaw coz my front tooth couldn't grow due to insufficient space.    My set of teeth seems pretty straight from the front but in actual fact there's this particular to...

DRx; my savior.

A picture taken on 15th Aug 2012 to kickstart my blogpost for The DRx Clinic aka my savior.  Ready?   . . . . . . . . . . . Embrace. My worst outbreak ever 2 years back.   It definitely took a lot of courage to post this pic up but yup this was my skin condition during my first visit to The DRx Clinic 2 years ago. I've set memories of that bad past to rest and I almost couldn't remember how unhealthy my skin was until Dr David flipped through my records and I knew I had to show you guys how The DRx Clinic saved my complexion.   My skin started breaking out with all the huge pimples below my cheeks on both sides of my face ever since I started travelling to GZ for work.  It was so depressing as there were visible bumps all over and even makeup couldn't conceal them.  And when my guy friend asked bluntly 'What happened to your face man?', I realized I had to seek he...
