Be sure to catch the show along Orchard road tomorrow night and all the fashion event related promotions and activities for the months ahead! 😉

Stepping into Spring

February 6, 2016 Ena Teo Leave a comment

With the Lunar New Year only a day away, I thought it fitting to share some of my recent outfits that’s perfect for the festive season. Since young, it’s been a tradition for my family and I to don on new clothes for the new year, but I’ve never been clear or sure of why that is the case. A little google research online revealed that it’s a traditional belief that new year heralds new beginning and so we wear new clothes to celebrate. Well for me, I’d take any reason to shop for new clothes! 😛 As you can see, I’ve already worn these outfits so they won’t be “new” per se, I’ve actually purchased and reserved one set of outfit, a top from my friend, Aggy’s online label Tact.sg and a red leather skirt from Stradivarius for the very first day, which you can expect to see either on my Instagram or an upcoming blog post. 😉 For this post, I’ve picked this Begin Again dress from C/MEO, an increasingly popular and cult fashion brand from Australia with chic silhouettes and cuts which you can purchase from Revolve. You might not have heard about MARYLING, as they’re new to Singapore but have been rapidly expanding from their home country Italy, Milan to China, Korea and is also no stranger to many female Hong Kong celebrities. What I love about this brand is their unique one of a kind pieces, in fact for Singapore, they’re only bringing in each design with a few varying sizes. Talk about exclusivity! Have I mentioned that MARYLING uses the same lace and tweed fabrics that produces Chanel pieces? So you’ll find very fine fabrics including 100% silk that feels soft and great on the skin. You’ll find their temporary pop up store at Takashimaya Level 3, Women Department, before they launch their flagship store officially in Singapore.

C/MEO Begin Again Dress, available here. Paired with Free People Strappy Back Bra, similar here.
Otw for Casio’s recent Exilim TR70 media launch in Maryling’s asymmetrical printed silk dress. I simply love the edgy asymmetrical design and modern, vibrant print and colours!
Also donned this outfit for a corporate shoot for work! You can find a similar dress on Maryling’s e-store here.
Dressed again in a Maryling dress, this time in a pink dress in lovely pastel pink, unique fabric and a feminine silhouette, find similar here.

Thank you Revolve & Maryling for dressing me for the recent events!

Has any brands and new designs caught your eye, if so, share them with me via email or in the comments below!

Wishing you and your loved ones a very blessed and prosperous Lunar New Year in advance!

Leather & Lace

December 15, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi loves!

Do you love the leather & lace combination like I do? If the outfit seems similar, it’s because I wore this out to Affordable Art Fair 2015.

Super love this cute Crossbody Bag with chain from Sammydress, available here. I bought my white lace dress from Temt in Singapore. You can also shop from Sammydress’s collection of white lace dresses here. Alternatively, I also recommend this grey lace sweater mini dress. The pieces from Sammydress are super affordable with most pieces below $20, and even below $10. The quality and finishing may not be perfect but they definitely provide a great variety. Items ship from China and takes 1-2 weeks to arrive.

Thank you Sammydress for leather bag and grey lace sweater mini dress!

American Eagle Outfitters Now in Singapore Vivo City

December 11, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A while back I had the pleasure to attend the opening launch of American Eagle Outfitters (VivoCity, #B1-06/07). To say I love the brand is quite an understatement – those casual laid back pieces are sooo comfortable – from cut off shorts, skinny jeans to flannel shirts (softest ones I’ve tried, guys). The opening launch was a blast – there was a table hockey, beers & bites in stores, local celebrities and cute models in attendance. Check out some snaps from that day!Can’t go wrong with AEO jeans for a casual yet chic attire.
Really cute burger bites! Love the AEO flag detail too~

Modern Mod Look

Hi loves!

Well, by now you probably know that 70s style is back this season. In this post, I’m doing a modern interpretation of that Mod look. You can’t go wrong with stripes & a cute mini skirt! Pair it with a strong red lip makeup look & boots to go.

Motel striped dress & skirt from Revolve here and here. I basically want every item available from Motel, no kidding. I also wish that I could be back to Bar Canary and hang out with my girlfriends and chat over the freshest coconut juice all day.

20 Picks from Sandro’s FW 2015/16

November 26, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

We’re right in the midst of fall, if you haven’t got your wardrobe Fall ready, here are some of my picks from Sandro’s FW 2015/16 collection!

Sandro is a Parisian brand with refined & versatile men’s and women’s collections. Founded by Evelyne Chetrite in 1984, she developed a new women’s aesthetics – modern and sophisticated with a hint of androgyny. In line with the Sandro sensibility, Evelyne’s son, Ilan, launched Sandro Homme in 2008 focusing on revisited classics with a modern twist.

Sandro’s FW 2015/16 is very much on trend with this season’s revival of 70’s aesthetics. Specifically this collection pays homage to the legendary American rock festivals. Lace, floral prints and bordeaux(wine) & tan colour evokes bohemian vibes, leather, studs & demin completes the androgynous, rock look. 70’s key pieces such as the flare pants makes a reprise, paired with finely knit turtle neck for a modern look.

My favourite pieces will have to be those with lace, bordeaux colours and with studs – these pieces are timeless and will stay in the wardrobe for a long time. But I also really love the printed tops, with graphics and words like “Mirror” and “Freedom”. These adds more excitement and will also potentially be pieces that will remind you of the fun times.

Some snaps from the store visit followed by the 20 picks from the women’s collection!

Here are my top 20 picks from Sandro’s Fall/Winter 2015 Women’s Collection, some are repeats from above. I tried to be selective, but the number is still quite huge at 20 because I LOVE THEIR ACCESSORIES TOO. Their bags and shoes… those boots!!! You will see!

1. Sandro Women Mirror Black Top

2. Sandro Women Abstract Print Grey Top 3. Sandro Women Blue Freedom Top 4. Sandro Women Maritime Striped Top 5. Sandro Women Black Jacket with Gold Studs

6. Sandro Women Red Shorts with Gold Studs

7. Sandro Women Flare Pants with Black buttons
8. Sandro Women Leather Fringe Skirt

9. Sandro Women Black Cape

10. Sandro Women Black Vest Dress

11. Sandro Women Black Mini Dress with Belt

12. Sandro Women Blue Lace Dress

13. Sandro Women Black Studded Sandals

Singapore Fashion Week 2015 Recap

November 22, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi loves!

Well you’ve probably seen my IG updates from months back when I attended a few shows from Singapore Fashion Week, mostly the young designers show, namely LASALLE Graduation show & Harpers Bazaar Next Gen show. Also attended the Star Creation & Zalora shows but did not manage to snap any nice photos so there’s none from those shows for this post~ 😛

While I definitely enjoyed both LASALLE Grad show and Harpers Bazaar Next Gen show – I find that LASALLE show designs focused more on artistic concepts & were more explorative, understandably as it’s an arts school (and my Alma mater, where I studied Fashion Media & Industries, majoring in Management), while Harpers’ show designs were a lot more “commercialized”, collections that look like they already belonged in the store. There’s no critical judgement from me either ways, as I would love to have pieces from select designers (you’ll know which from my comments/captions below, heh) from both shows in my wardrobe!

Alright, enough with my introductions~ Loving my make up for the day, hence the slew of selfies, heh. Am missing my hair from those days before I bleached it. Lol.
Getting ready to meet my inspiration, Miroslava Duma. In case you don’t know her, she was a fashion magazine editor, currently a street style icon and founder of buro247.com – which is now present in more than 7-8 countries featuring luxury fashion and lifestyle topics. She’s extremely well connected, business minded and savvy! While she still look like a teenager, she’s in her thirties and she has 2 kids! Don’t ask me how she does it!

Met up with Sifra my LASALLE school mate & Smita for the talk!
The emcee did such a bad job honestly. Her questions were so bad, some didn’t even make sense. It would have been much better if Duma and Dion Lee interviewed each other. It was such a waste that we did not get to hear more from the two of them as the questions were a waste of time/did not make sense.Nonetheless, with the little that was shared, it was inspiring to hear from Duma, who shared about having good work ethics – you’ve got to work for it, don’t expect things to drop down from the sky!
And got a pic with her!!! <3 Thanks to Smita! <3

And some ootds at LASALLE~We headed to Providore at Mandarin Gallery for some drinks. I had flat white, they had this pineapple cocktail which was good too!
Snapped a pic of this dude with this crazy and cool tiger head bag.

Headed to Chez Vous to get my hair done for Star Creation later in the evening. Belatedly realize that I should have gone for sleek back hair since I was wearing a rather edgy dress. Ohwells!
With cuties Q-li & Jem whom I met at SFW!

Day 2 of SFW, decided to have my hair done at the salon near my place before heading down!

Before getting my hair done…

While getting my hair done by Shiro.

And after it’s done, selfie taken on the cab! Decided to go for a very defined and red carpet-style hair and makeup look. Sleek hair back is actually no longer on trend since it’s been done 2-3 years back, but who cares as long as I like the look, heh!

Starting with the LASALLE Fashion graduation show – fashion students’ names as captured on the photos:
I love the vibrant, contrasting yet complementary colours in this collection! Super love this outfit! Want the entire look!

Not exactly high fashion runway quality, and it reminds me of Japanese Manga “Naruto” but there’s something cool about this sporty chic meets Asian royalty prints collection that I like.

Blur pic, but shows designer name Hwang Jun.A clearer shot. My friend, Chua YingHui’s (went to Japan together on a school trip, you can read about the trip on my blog) prints. Collection fit for the fashionable boys! I would wear these prints too!

OOTDs.
And Hair of the day! Met up with our fashion tutors post show.
And Fenny~
With Belle~

On to Harpers Bazaar show! With the editor & emcee. Photo taken by me, nice right? 😛 Didn’t get good shots of the winner’s collection by Silvia Teh. Inspired by Japanese culture, her collection won the judges over. I realize that in general, fashion collection with Japan inspired collections tend to do well. I really like Ha Hong Lam’s magic mushroom inspired prints and elegant designs.
With Circe & Lionel, our LASALLE fashion dept head & tutor respectively!With Clozette gals Cass, Anico, Kersie & Smita~Ended the day at Genki Sushi with dear Belle. Food here is so good, and it’s so cute that they serve you the plates on a train~ I wanna go back!

Hearts & Lights Aglow this Christmas at ION Orchard

November 13, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves~

I was at ION Orchard’s media breakfast the other morning and my heart was warmed to hear about their Christmas initiatives!

In a nutshell, ION Orchard celebrates the season of giving in partnership with a dozen designer brands as part of its efforts to give back to the less privileged.

To mark the festivities, there will be 12 Christmas trees specially designed by key brands at ION Orchard; customised gift wrapping paper jointly designed by special needs students; and the mall’s outdoor space, ION² will be transformed into a glittering Christmas Garden.

The 12 designer trees of Christmas for charity

In a unique collaboration, 12 brands at ION Orchard will each offer its interpretation of Christmas with a specially designed exquisite 2.4-metre-tall Christmas tree. They are Alice + Olivia, Braun Büffel, Buben & Zorweg, Cortina Watch, Crate & Barrel, Diane Von Furstenberg, Ermenegildo Zegna, Kurt Geiger, Kwanpen, Moncler, Parfums Christian Dior and TWG Tea.

The trees will be central to the mall’s fund-raising activities for Christmas, inspiring ION Orchard VIP members and loyal shoppers to open up their hearts and put in bids to adopt the tree or trees of their choice by using the iPad next to each tree. Bids start at S$8,000, with the highest bidder getting adoption and naming rights for each tree of their choice plus a token of appreciation from the respective brands and ION Orchard.

ION Orchard’s traditional 20-metre outdoor tree will be given a sparkling makeover in the mall’s first partnership with Swarovski. It will be adorned with more than 28,000 crystals while its cavernous walk-in interior will dazzle visitors with a kaleidoscope of lights, mirrored ceilings and a rotating chandelier. This is also Swarovski’s first outdoor Christmas tree in Singapore.

At the heart of ION Orchard’s festive celebrations will be a series of fundraising activities to benefit the Community Chest, with proceeds going to the Rainbow Centre Yishun Park School.

In a partnership with NETS, shoppers can also make direct donations at several donation points near concierge counters at Basement 3 and, Levels 1 and 4.

Funds raised will go towards helping the Rainbow Centre Yishun Park School, under the care of Community Chest. Some 350 students will benefit from the funds raised. As part of the Care & Share Movement led by Community Chest, donations received will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Government.

In addition to raising funds for the less advantaged this season, our collaboration with Community Chest creates a platform for special needs students from Rainbow Centre Yishun Park School to showcase their creativity and imagination by designing the mall’s Christmas wrappers.

Beneficiaries from Rainbow Centre Yishun Park School will be assisting with gift wrapping at the L1 concierge on 13^thNovember from 10.30am to 12.30pm and on 14^th November from 6.00 to 8.30pm, lending a personalized touch to the mall’s gift wrapping service for its shoppers.

Outside the Swarovski Christmas tree with Sydney & Felicia~

And inside the Swarovski Christmas tree with Sydney & Felicia!

Special Christmas deals for shoppers

From 6 November 2015 to 3 January 2016, ION Orchard is sweetening its Christmas deals with a series of festive promotions to spread the Yuletide cheer and give back to its shoppers. Spend $250 at basement floor shops and redeem a $15 voucher, while $500 spent at both basement floor and upper floor shops will entitle shoppers to a $30 voucher. Exclusive to ION Rewards members, spend at least $2,000 and receive a $100 voucher and a Moleskine notebook. Complimentary Christmas gift wrappers can be redeemed with a minimum spend of $100. Terms and conditions apply.

For more information, visit the ION Orchard website at http://www.ionorchard.com/. 😉

Thank you ION Orchard for having me at the media breakfast & Christmas trees lighting event!

Happy Christmas shopping loves!

Retro Days with MAC Wash & Dry Collection & Huggable Lips Collection

November 12, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

I may profess to be beauty junkie, but my level is no where near MAC’s. What do I mean? I mean they launch some 3-4 collections a month, (yes that’s about 1 a week, or sometimes simultaneously they launch 4 collections in a month). So by the time you’re reading this, the collections here are most probably sold out, since my blog posts are mostly belated reviews, heh. Nonetheless, some of the key basics like the foundations would still be there, and if you’re in love in sometime LE featured here, you can try it to find it on Amazon or Carousell! If all else fails… Visit the shop to ask for similar colours, or buy something new from their current collections. 😉

Anyhoo, read on to check out what went down in store on the day Smita and I went to check out Beno (MAC’s makeup artist) working magic on the model with Wash & Dry collection and of course also checking out the then new Huggable Lips collection. 😀

Beno highly recommends this as a skin prep all over the face before foundation. He says this is particularly good for models when they come in with dull skin, it helps to perk, brighten and hydrate their skin.

Beno also swears by Lightful C softening lotion(toner), a rather new product launched this year, Beno says that this product with Vit C helps to brighten the skin.

Beno applied Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation on the model with a brush.
Already with a bright pop or green eyeliner on, Beno applies a more subdued lip colour on the model.

From the Huggable Lips collection.

Enhancing the eyeliner. Now checking out the Wet & Dry collection. I love the psychedelic coloured packaging! Super gorgeous and trendy orange and golds.Smita lovesss the highlighter Beno applied on her.

And the super gorgeous Wash & Dry collection. Really love the 2 face foundation brush.

Now on to the Huggable Lips collection! These lipsticks are amazing. They give your lips a very bouncy feel and wet look. I have no idea how that is huggable. And I super love the sleek lip bullet, a change compared to the usual MAC lip bullets. Much prefer this actually! With the super cute bear mascot!

And the MAC makeup expert Beno, follow him on IG @benolim!

I love the nude colour Soft Talkin’ and #MLBB (my lips but better) colour in All In.
Thank you Smita for the invite and MAC Cosmetics Singapore for having us! Also be sure to check out Smita’s beauty blog here, you’ll learn tons of expert tips from her too!

*Bonus Round* lol

Otw to meet Smita, feeling camera trigger happy. Also love the ombre lips I did for the day! 😛With Smitaaa <3

My omelette at Paul’s.

Smita’s Beef Tar Tar.

So I left/dropped my wallet at Paul’s Takashimaya and the staff kept it for me. THANK GOD. Awesome food and staff here, definitely will go back again. <3

So we walked around Sephora and chanced upon the launch of Makeupstore’s Artist Plexi Gloss/lipgloss and I won the sample set and a pouch and a lip over. #Blessed. It’s true I am very blessed at winning lucky dips.

Here we are with our lip overs. I chose a bright red and I do love the lip gloss that gave very good hydrating and pigmented coverage without the typical sticky feeling.

Hope you enjoyed this post! Follow me on IG @ena_teo for my updates! 😉

The last time I had coloured streaks hair extensions was when I was 21… For a rock & roll themed bday party. 💁😎✊😆 I’m glad that the extensions I have now is for an even more meaningful cause!

Stylista Korean Beauty & Fashion Workshop

October 25, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

2 weeks ago, Stylista squad held our first Korean Beauty & Fashion workshop and here’s what went down!

Thanks to our location sponsor Park Regis Singapore, we held a cosy and intimate workshop session at their Melbourn Room on level 2. I recommend this hotel for business travellers as it’s conveniently located 5 min away from Clark Quay MRT station, plus you can also enjoy the night life nearby after work. It’s also great for a local staycation over the weekends as it’s newly refurbished and fully equipped with swimming pool, gym and dining restaurants.
Before the event took place, we had a quick tour around the hotel and it’s lovely! Once entering the hotel at ground floor, you’ll find seating spaces, restaurant and bar to hang out and chill.
At the check in lobby, you’ll find free flow refreshment drink and a long counter that comes with seats to cater to the business travellers that come in from long haul flights.

There are 202 rooms and they come in 4 types; Park, Merchant, Quay & Regis (Suites). Park and Merchant are the standard rooms, with Park facing the office buildings while Merchant has a view of Clark Quay. Quay rooms are on the second floor with direct exit to the pool. Regis refer to the exclusive suite rooms.

Exit from Quay room, with direct access to the pool.

Regis rooms are suite rooms located from the 2nd to the 7th floor, they are bigger and some come with attached balcony, as in the one above that we viewed.

After the tour, we got back to the function room to prepare for the event. Thanks to Floral Garage Singapore for sponsoring the floral arrangements for the table setting and baby breaths for our attendees’ goodie bag!

Visit Floral Garage SG’s site here for floral bouquets starting from $29.90!

After preparing the goodie bags, attendees started filling up the seats and it was time to begin! The workshop started off with a skincare segment with Atlas Medical Clinic’s new skincare range, here we have our lovely attendees testing out the products during the demonstration led by Vinna.

Next up, we shared about key Korean skincare and makeup looks, trends and tips using our makeup partner, LANEIGE products.

Following which, Alene and I shared about Korean fashion trends, culture and tips and we invited our friend Sydney and founder of fashion label, Style Of Leda to share about the brand and inspiration behind it.

We also had the pleasure to hear from Lorraine, co-founder of Atlas Medical Clinic and Atlas Medispa about Korean facial and skincare technologies.After Lorraine’s sharing, the workshop portion ended and everyone was free to mingle, ask questions and check out the booths by Atlas Medispa & Style of Leda.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who came down to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon with all of us and making our very first Stylista workshop such a sweet memory! We hope that all of you learnt a thing or two about Korean beauty and fashion trends, enjoyed the session and will make full use of the items and vouchers from the goodie bag!

Not forgetting our hair sponsor Chez Vous for the hair services vouchers, Polished Hand + Foot Spa for mani+pedi vouchers as well as Kenny Bite Production for capturing the event happenings!

Last but not the least, the event would not have been possible without my squad and fellow bloggers: Celine, Vinna & Alene.

With a heart full of love and gratitude, I’d like to also give special thanks to my sisters & friends Jia Hui, Lu Jia, Ying Ling, Christabelle, Clarabelle, Leanne, Smita and Leon. Thank you for your prayers and encouragements. Thank you Jesus that you’ve made it all possible. It hasn’t been an easy journey to organize and prepare for an event like this for the first time but it’s made possible because everything fell into place with thanks to our sponsors and in accordance to God’s perfect timing. The Stylista squad definitely has a lot to improve on and we’ve definitely learnt a lot from this. If there’s only one thing you can take away from my post today, I hope it’s this:

You will never be fully prepared to fulfil your goals. Whether you fail or succeed, the act of taking a risk will stretch you. And it’s in taking that step of faith, out of your comfort zone that you will learn much and be closer to your goals. Don’t stop dreaming and never give up. One day you’ll look back and be thankful that you didn’t give up.

If you haven’t, be sure to follow me on IG @ena_teo for my updates!

Casual Days

October 22, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

What’s your idea of a casual weekend? Mine’s definitely hanging with family or friends over food – whether cafe hopping, at the mall’s, my place or theirs. Had the chance to pop by Christabelle‘s place the other weekend and took the chance to also take some outfit shots around her place. And while reviewing these photos, I belatedly realize… that I am back to leaning towards monochrome colours for my wardrobe. Black, white & greys are just so easy to mix and match with… and easy to throw on in the morning too!

If you don’t already know by now, I am in love with sporty chic outfits and dresses. Although I have 2 similar dresses, one sleeveless and another short-sleeved, I just needed to get this when I saw it, hahaha. #Obsessed. I imagine this is the perfect dress to wear to support your favourite boy or sports player for a game. Throw on a black moto jacket or a jazzy bomber jacket and you’re ready to attend a concert or throw a party for your favourite rockstar. This particular dress is sold out, for more Unif dresses, check out Revolve Clothing here. I’m also wearing Free People’s Bella Coachella Strappy Back Bra with this look. Have I mentioned that I love muscle tees? I got this DIOR NOT WAR singlet/tee from Malacca! Sometimes you can get really cute slogan tees from the market stalls. If you’re looking for something similar online, see this. Or if you prefer sleeved tees, which are reallyyy comfy, I totally recommend this cute OBEY Glitch Garden tee. For shorts, nothing else beats American Eagle’s Outfitters’. I got these cut off shorts at their Vivo City outlet, I highly recommend you check them out if you haven’t! And if you’re wondering about the lace up sandals, these are from Zalora, you can get them here. Anddd if you’re planning to shop, save the code “ZBAPQGVB” for 15% discount at check out, valid for 1st purchase and for new customers only.

Thank you Revolve Clothing & American Eagles Outfitters for the apparels. <3 Thank you babe Christabelle for the photos! :*

Disclaimer: Outfits are sponsored or my own. The links in this post aren’t affliate links so I don’t get any credit if you buy, except for the Zalora discount code! Happy Shopping! 😉

Photoworthy Captures at ION Orchard’s The Fashion Playhouse

October 21, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A few days ago I had the pleasure to visit ION Orchard’s The Fashion Playhouse with 2 Fashion Inversion rooms; one where you’ll look like you’re floating in mid air and another where you’ll look like a giant when you’re standing on the right side of the room. There’s also a Fashion Reflection room where you can lie on the floor and look like you’re on the front cover of a magazine! It’s definitely something cute, fashionable and photo-worthy.

Unfortunately, the Fashion Reflection room was not in working order the day I was there. So there’s no photos of that room.

The Fashion Playhouse opens from 11am to 8pm daily to shoppers who spend a minimum of S$80 at ION Orchard. In collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board, ION Orchard is offering free admission for shoppers to the fashion playrooms, and all they need to do is to post at least three Instagram posts with the hashtag #IONPlayhouse and #OrchardRoad. The Fashion Playhouse will be located at ION² from 24 September to 21 October.

Contingency plans have also been put in place in light of the haze. The outdoor Fashion Playhouse will be closed if the PSI readings exceed the unhealthy range (above 150). Signs will be placed at the entrance of the Fashion Playhouse to encourage shoppers to minimise prolonged outdoor activities, or redirect shoppers accordingly.

Aside from the Fashion Playhouse, shoppers will also be inspired by the larger-than-life doll-houses on Levels 2 and 3 of ION Orchard. These carefully styled doll houses showcase the latest collections from the mall’s best-loved brands such as Bally, Diane von Furstenberg and Dsquared2 among others.

Also part of the Autumn Winter Fashion Season are a series of shopper workshops and shopping deals throughout the season, including the perfect accessory this fall – a limited edition Dian Von Furstenberg scarf – with a minimum of $1,000 spent.

Have fun checking out the Fashion Playhouses and shopping at ION Orchard! 😉

Thank you Daphne from Weber Shanwick Singapore PR for the kind invite! Also thanks to the friendly staffs on site for taking the photos for me and posing with me too! 🙂

Relaxing Weekend Getaway at ParkRoyal On Pickering

September 15, 2015 Ena Teo 1 Comment

Hi Loves!

Recently I had the pleasure to indulge in a staycation at ParkRoyal on Pickering, Singapore’s first hotel in a garden. The entire stay passed like a breeze, thanks to the great service, wonderful lush atmosphere and lovely food and drinks served. My bestie Fion and I stayed at the Orchid Club Deluxe Room and enjoyed access to the Orchid Club Lounge which provides afternoon tea, cocktail and breakfast. I fell in love with the hotel’s architecture which integrates organic lines and greenery so seamlessly. All in all, I definitely recommend this place as a weekend getaway for locals and a hotel of choice for foreigners! If you’re looking for activities recommendations, check out The Ultimate Singapore Day Out web app to plan your day according to your personality. 😉

Check in counter that resembles the base of the grand canyon.
Refreshing calamansi drinks served at check in.

Our Orchid Club Deluxe Room on the 13th floor! ^^
Wooden interior and earthy colours makes for a luxurious yet comfortable experience.Fully decked mini bar, with the bottle of wine Fion brought, heh.
Bathroom integrates with the hotel room to give a very expansive feel.Sustainable efforts even in their bottle water! <3
Really appreciate the fresh fruits!
View of the city from the comfort of our room!
After putting our bags down, we headed to the Orchid lounge on the 16th floor for afternoon tea.

Scones!
Our afteroon tea picks!

After tea, we headed to check out the pool and common facilities.
Heading back to our room for a short rest, #wefie at the lobby. ^^Back in the room again with le BFF <333Skincare & makeup I brought along for the staycation~Changed & chilling a little before heading out again…

Back to the Orchid Club Lounge for cocktail & bites!
This mushroom ragu is super awesome and delicious! It’s made of eggs and flavoured mushroom and I went back for 2nd serving (and was tempted to go back for 3rd, lol)!

Then Fion and I headed out to The Central which was a stone’s throw away for some shopping! We went to shop at Naiise but I didn’t snap any photos, haha. It’s this shop that has quirky local designer lifestyle products.Watsons drugstore if you need anything!Lots of eating places available!Live performance by the Clark Quay river on a Saturday evening! We just sat down and listen for 30 minutes, soaking in the atmosphere.View as we’re walking back from The Central.Enjoying a drink that aptly describes our relationship! ^^
Changed out and ready to chill for the night!
Enjoyed our Moscato that Fion brought back from her recent Aussie trip. <3

Woke up early on a Sunday morning to enjoy breakfast and this awesome view: Breakfast with a view, something to remember!
The open area outside the lounge space.Skincare and makeup I used for the day!

Browsing the lobby area before checking out: Cute bar area.Lime restaurant, also quite famous for their buffet.

We definitely felt refreshed and recharged after our stay here, and I hope you do too! 😉

Thank you ParkRoyal Pickering and DigitasLBi PR for arranging for this staycation for my bff and I! <3 Take advantage of the offers here~ 😉

Soft & Airy Hair Blowout at Chez Vous

August 11, 2015 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Loves!

A few months back, I was involved in the shooting of a local documentary commissioned by Discovery Channel for SG50, the short film is titled Heartland and you can check out the details on their microsite here and visit their FB here. From 17-21 August, Heartland will be showing daily at 6pm on Discovery Channel SEA, Starhub Ch 422. I actually haven’t seen the full film and hopefully will have the chance to watch it soon. I’m playing my role as a property agent and giving KC a tour of Tiong Bahru, heh. Did you know that Tiong Bahru was one of the earliest HDB estate in Singapore? And that the designs of the old HDBs there are inspired by the 1920s transportation modes like airplane? #NowYouKnow 😉 Anyways, before the filming, the kind folks at Chez Vous helped to give me a soft and airy look, so I can look pretty on screen. 😛 I love the look! Much thanks to Jaime and Eugene at Chez Vous! <3

Visit Chez Vous Hair
391 Orchard Road, Ngee Ann City, #05-05
Call 6732 9388 for your reservation lest they’re fully booked (which is quite often)!
