BLUE FOR YOU

Something to drive every Monday's blues away, especially after 2 days leave from work...with these powder blue goodies from Glasgow and London – a sturdy leather satchel and nail paint.

It's a perfect favourite shade of blue, aside from navy blue.

P.S: Can't believe it's August tomorrow.

UNEXPECTED STILETTO

Girly heels, checked.

Here's welcoming my unexpected pair of heels. Really unexpected – leopard, stiletto and pointe. I guess every girl just need a pair of feminine heels. You probably won't see me in this Songe heels as much as my Nike roshe sneakers (am forever a sneakers girl) or sandals (ahem, I've been shamelessly wearing flip flops to work the past 2 weeks). This pointe pair is actually meant for work events and dinners, though it does not happen as often, I know I have a pair ready whenever I need it.

That aside I've received 3 postcards from Nathaniel in 3 cities; Rome, Brussels and Glasgow. Awaiting for your return.

IN MID 2015

We're in the middle of 2015.

I had no idea how fast time flew by until I started working. Routine lifestyle makes everyday pass by in a blink. Days turned into weeks and turned into a year without us realising and voila it's "Happy New Year!" before you know it.

I had the opportunity to take a breather off work the past 2 weeks with a day off to spend with N at Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum and catch Rachael Yamagata live at Esplanade, a day getaway on a public holiday and 3D2N at Batam for a church retreat a few days ago, which ended with me sick. But it is great to be out of the office once in a while.

For the rest of 2015, I hope I can pace myself better and also feel less uncertain about the "what ifs..." and "what's next?" in life. #trustGOD

IN THE MOOD FOR LOUVRE

What seems like one of the most beautiful backdrop to have your photos taken – a beautiful juxtaposition of old French architecture and modern glass pyramid. The weather lately has been intensively humid and that inevitably makes me miss that oh so perfect Autumn cool air last October. In the meantime, let's wipe away swear and get hydrated.

SIMPLE PLEASURES AT HOME

Weekends began yesterday and...pooff! here comes Monday, again. Oh well! As I bid farewell to yet another weekend, these favourites pretty much sum up my week.

Looks like I've jumped on to the Céline Trio bandwagon. While it is a love at first sight, it took me some time to be convinced that this smooth buttery trio is indeed a versatile and beautiful bag that could really fit the essentials. And so, the quest for the perfect small bag is over!

A personalised monogrammed initial on saffiano leather wallet is my essential lunch hour favourite. I believe in things that stand the test of time are worth the investment.

A memorable photo book "Thank You, Mr Lee" that encapsulates the week of mourning in visuals. Definitely a treasure to keep for recollection in the future.

My second attempt at baking apple crumble and I find difficulty in photographing it without making it look like a bowl of soil.

On a side note, I have updated my Carousell account / @jojoeylow with brand new and preloved clothing, accessories and bags. I've lots of things to clear out, many of which really deserve to be better utilised – help them find new home and owners! Click here to be directed.
