DFF #90 – Dallin Chase Clemens Beaded Top

Here’s a super-cute cropped top that’s really fun:

Great detail, fun shape, flowy sleeves, and these days I’m really into showing off just a smidgen of midriff.

It’s $315.20 at Shopbop!

Review: Yes To Tomatoes Skin Clearing Facial Mask

I blogged about the rebranding a while back and I was definitely excited for it.

So did it miss, meet, or exceed expectations?

Traditional Cantonese

Every Chinese person my age knows exactly what this is about.

You order a bunch of dishes and then everything is served at once with bowls of rice and a pot of tea on a lazy susan.  The server brings over the soup and divvies it up into little bowls.  You fill up your own little plate with a little bit of everything and then dig in!

The menu included roast chicken, abalone, fish, oatmeal-crusted prawns, and venison.  Dessert was mango pudding with sago and pomelo.  The tea of choice was chrysanthemum.

Our special guest: my 92-year-old maternal grandmother, frail and deaf in one ear but still downright adorable.

For her, every day is a good reason to celebrate with a delicious Cantonese banquet… but for her health, maybe not so much.

DFF #89 – Alexander Wang Devon Open Toe Booties

Why do I feel like I’ve blogged this before…

Can you really blame me though?  Look at how gorgeous this is!  Lizard-embossed for richness, open toes for the casual feel, and a super-high heel for hotness and general awesomeness.

I’m definitely considering nabbing this with the 20% discount!

It’s $420 at Shopbop.

The magic man!

On Saturday I went down to Bedok to watch my friend wow the crowd with his magic hands.

He’s tricky, that one!  He worked his magic with coins, a string and ring, and a deck of cards.  Not only does he have fast hands, he has the gift of the gab!

Nope, wrong

So I had just stepped aside from the ATM when some guy pushing the HSBC credit card got my attention.

Him: I believe you’re working?
Me: No.
Him: Um, tourist?
Me: No.
Him: …
Me: I’m a tai-tai.
Him: [stunned look]
Me: I have to go now.
Him: Okay, have a nice day.

I guess I looked like the working type.  Tell me if you agree.

DFF #88 – under.ligne by doo.ri Seamed Long Dress

Friends who know me know I love to show off my barely-there cleavage.

Friends who know me better know that I love me some maxi dresses that show off my barely-there cleavage.  (I love mini dresses too, but well, those tell a different story.)

doo.ri gets a little more affordable with her under.ligne line.  This dress comes in at $385 at Shopbop.  It’s a lot for 100% modal, but it doesn’t hurt to dream.

I came, I saw…

I grabbed,

I slapped down my ATM card,

I left with a gigantic shopping bag.

I probably shouldn’t even have let myself walk around after picking up my new glasses.  Things in Singapore are so cheap I couldn’t help but stop and look, stop and look.

DFF #87 – Halson Heritage Off-Shoulder Sash Dress

If you’re worried about looking too dressy, just show off a little shoulder.

The ankle boots are a perfect pairing.  All you need are some chunky glittery earrings and you’re good to go!  I would totally put her hair up in a bun – that long stretch of bare skin from shoulder to the back of the ears is totally sexy.

It’s $245 at Shopbop.

Must… dance…

We love us some all-day breakfast, but fearing that the pancake-egg-bacon combo would be too big, I settled on a burger.  Great, meat cooked medium like I’d wanted, but the fries weren’t crispy and weren’t hot.

Nothing like a huge greasy burger to temper the intoxication to come.

Our first stop after supper at OverEasy was Butter Factory.
