felicianeo.com – A Singapore Lifestyle, Beauty & Fashion Blog

If you know me well enough, you would know that my wardrobe is full of everything bright and colourful. And when I purchase items, the first thing I go for is colours and I shun black or neutral colours like mad. But recently, I sense my colour preferences changing. I no longer go for bright colours, but instead I find myself sticking to simple colours. Maybe I got out of the colour blocking trend with bright colours, or maybe well.. I’m growing up haha, and taste and preferences change. (But I still love florals and pastels lately!!)

Because of my tanned skin, I actually look pretty good in a little bit of black I think. I doubt I’ll ever wear anything that’s full black cos it makes me look skinnier and not flattering at all. Anyway, I tried on this Perplum Playsuit from Damselindisdress.co and I love it to death. From the cutting to the colours… D was saying she can’t believe I’ll ever say I’ll love something of this colour. To be honest, I can’t believe it either. Girls who think they don’t have hips should always go for perplum cuts cos they give the illusion of fuller hips. Can’t wait to wear this piece out!!

And if you’re someone who loves clothes in clean and classic colours, do check out Damselindisdress.co cos D’s someone who loves black and white and classic looks hahaha. Remember to use my discount code ‘FELLOVESDIDD‘ upon checkout for 10% off your purchases!

Also loving my new weave bag from Vrinz! Chose the beige version instead of pink cos it’s easier to wear out without worrying about colour clash!! The bag is pretty small but surprisingly able to hold all of my essentials like my wallet, camera, handphone…! Material’s really good as well. This is my second Vrinz bag and I must say I’m really impressed with their quality! Each design at Vrinz is carefully crafted and only the best materials are used! (:

La Sambuca is a new platform for European craftsmen and brands to sell the highest quality hand made products from across Europe to the Asian Markets!

I was really excited to receive my La Sambuca wedge and sandals, and they arrived straight to my doorstep within 2 working days after I’ve ordered online!

All the products offered at La Sambuca have proven success in Europe and are recognized brands in their home country, but they don’t export anywhere. The people behind La Sambuca actually work with the craftsmen over at Europe and help make their products available in the Asian market (and they’re based in Singapore!)

I picked this Menorca Marine Sandals and I forsee myself wearing this to the park or by the beach on a lazy Sunday with my boyf!
(No pics of me wearing this cos I’ve no time to go to the park yet lol.)

Btw, their Menorca sandals range is one of the popular ranges on the site as well!

Made of leather and the stitching and built of this pair is really sturdy and good!!

Made in Spain.

Was browsing through their site and also found this pair of pretty Satuna Beige wedge under the Espadrilles range which I love!

When I first received the items, I was really impressed by the quality of the shoes. Even though they look like just ordinary pairs of shoes in the pictures above, the quality and material used is really really good.

One thing I’m most afraid of when I purchase shoes online is when the soles of the shoes create no friction at all. I remember buying this pair of sandals online (that cost me $30 and from a reputable blogshop) and I nearly fell the first day I wore them cos the soles were so lousy. But at La Sambuca, you can be assured that you get only the best quality items!

Had the chance to wear the wedges out the other day and even though it’s quite high in height, I’m amazed by how comfortable this pair is! Material is of linen and cotton blend and feels super soft when worn and doesn’t bite at all. (If you’ve been following my blog, you should know that I get blisters really easily on my feet)

If you’re someone who’s wary of buying shoes online cos of sizing issues, fret not! La Sambuca offers exchanges or even returns within 30 days if you’re not satisfied with your purchase! (Not forgetting free shipping right to your doorstep!) And oh! They’ve designs for guys as well!!

And here’s something extra for my readers! Use this code “FELICIAREADERS” during checkout and you get entitled to 10% off your purchases! (:

Happy shopping! (:

Back with updates on my Day 2 of CNY! Every year on the 2nd or 3rd day of CNY, my maternal relatives side will go out for lunch together! Usually we go to Red Star Restaurant for dim sum. This year, we decided to take their 8-course meal cos we wouldn’t need to queue that way! (Just reservations would do if you take their 8-course meal cos they don’t accept reservations if you just want dim sum btw)

All my cousins!! (Missing of 1 little kid) But this photo is the closest to full attendance we ever had! I’m the eldest girl amongst my cousins and my mum use to tell me how my relatives dote on me cos I was the first baby girl in the family (before me were 2 guys lol).

Picture before lao-ing yusheng. Cos you know what’s going to happen to the table after that.

HAHAHA. Mess we made. Not me okay, I was busy trying to avoid being splashed by veges.

With Ger whom I grew up playing with! We used to live opposite each other in Simei when we were kids.

My mum!

Dress code for the girls is denim outerwear + skirt. LOL. (I know mine is not denim but it’s still blue right.)Lame things we do. But hey! We used to wear same clothes in different colours back when we were young. (:

My OTD! If you’ve noticed, I’ve been wearing this blue top as an outerwear alot lately! It’s my favourite piece at the moment! And omg that floral skirt… Been seeing SO MANY people on streets and even in school wearing this piece!!

Blue outerwear: Agneselle
Floral Skirt: Cotton On
White Top: The Tinsel Rack
Black bag: The Tinsel Rack
Boots: Bought in Genting
Necklace: Jipaban

Before going out that day, I set up my tripod and my family goofed around!

“AIYOO YOU GROW UP LIAO LEH!!” -pinches cheeks.

BIG GRIN! DDDDD

After lunch, my relatives came over to my house after that for mahjong session so we took the opportunity to take photos too!

I don’t know how many times I’ve mentioned that I’m super thankful for having blessed with such wonderful playmates. We grew up together playing silly games and with them around, it feels as if we’ve not aged at all. Sometimes I forget that I’m already in my 20s and it honestly feels like I’m only 15 when I’m with them. Yes, even though we’ve lesser time to meet up due to more commitments on hand, but there’s just this warm and fuzzy feeling whenever we meet up and do all sort of stupid things together (like playing mahjong with 6 people, using special code words and singing non-stop).

And it’s only with them (apart from my boyf) that I show my super crazy side and when I’m truly myself. I guess you need such people in your life whom you can find back yourself when you’re too caught up with everything else around you.

So cheers to the 22nd, 18th, 21st, 17th (respectively from the left) CNYs spent together and counting! We grew up together, laughed together and (literally) cried together. And I wouldn’t trade this kinship for anything else in the world. #cousinsforlife.

Oh btw, random observation: I realised I don’t look as skinny in photos when taking with my cousins cos we all have small bones I guess! (And I realised my brother’s legs are almost the same size  in width as mine in photos wth. I had to photoshop his legs bigger! :O )

I’m sure Bata is a brand that all of us know. For me, it was where I got my first pair of white school shoes from and I’ve been wearing Bata’s school shoes throughout primary and secondary school.

Bata is founded by Thomas John Bata and unknown to many, the brand originated from Czech Republic in 1894. The first Singapore Bata store was opened in 1931.

Bata might seem like a brand of the past to many, but I myself do visit their stores every now and then because I think that their shoes are really comfortable and affordable. And I noticed that their designs are getting trendier lately!

A few weeks ago, I was invited to attend Bata’s first ever bloggers event to preview their new S/S 2013 collection which was held at their showroom!

Here’s a preview to what’s coming up on Bata! Expect bright and fun colours this season! Some of the designs are already in stores from March onwards. (:

Bata actually carries a few different brands under them like North Star, Bubblegummers apart from their house brand, and I really like the designs of this brand called Marie Claire!!

Love the pop of colours!! Would definitely get these if I’m still schooling.

Took a look at the Men’s collection and I really like the designs! Guys, you definitely need to check out Bata’s new collection!

Seriously, those who says that Bata stands for “Buy And Throw Away” should really step into their stores and check out their new collection! Their designs are getting really trendy and nice!

With Xinyi!

Also met pretty Fang Ning! (:

We were told to come dressed in our spring summer outfits and was given time to shop around for shoes and bags to match our attire.

I thought that this black studded bag would go well with my outfit!

And my full length outfit for that day with the bag and shoes I’ve chosen! Chose a pair of leather wedge sandals that’s classic and casual and goes well with any outfit.

Bata’s having a bloggers FB contest btw, and if you like the outfit I’ve put together, you can help me ‘like’ on my photo in this link: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=477375902317068&set=a.477375752317083.1073741832.225091904212137&type=1&theater

I personally like my outfit alot laa cos of the colour complement haha. Perfect for Spring/Summer too cos this season is all about anything casual and fun! (:
