Maybe you guys already read or maybe you have not... I wrote a long post on instagram about #20factsaboutme but in general way.. Now I will do the fashion blogging version of #20factsaboutme

1. Start blogging since 2009 under a blog - afternoon tea and living room. Maybe you guys curious about what's behind my blog name and theme. Well, actually afternoon tea and living room is the time and place when I took my first outfit post

2. In my early blogging years, I did thrift shopping a lot.... Found really interesting pieces like vintage antik batik cropped top to Pierre balmain bralette

3. I learn how to monetize my blog since 3 years ago... So this is my 5th year in blogging sphere

4. Sometimes if I can't sleep at night I do online shopping..shopbop.com is my current fave designer 

online boutique 

5. I love everything with strong and rigid textures/designs

6. My fave designers are Helmut Lang, Phillip lim, Prabal Gurung, Elie Saab, and Derek Lam

7. I love outerwear! From  sweatshirt, cardigans to coats 

8. i'm not "really" a fashion blogger but "more like" a personal style blogger

9. i learn to use make up since a year ago, still a newbie

10. i don't really like to wear pants, i prefer skirts

shopping is one of my trick to help myself relax and relief my stress, but I must say that shopping with charity thing is kinda new for me. From what I know most of fashion items in market don't have this kind of philosophy (well i never seen this kind of charitable act includes in fashion item). IIIBeCa (read: tribeca) by Joy gryson bags have become the talk of the town not only because the bag itself but also the charitable act behind the bag. One thing that caught my attention is they spare some amount from their selling revenue for helping cancer research centers, i think this is my way to support act against cancer (since my boyf had one). btw thanks to urban icon for introduce me this great stuff ( yes, IIIBeCa available at urban icon stores and their online webstore).

 

Btw about a week ago i went to colette and lola to met fhenny from style frontier and had such a great time together (read: getting crazy over gossips) hehhehe. Thanks fhen for personally bought me the 2 SGD caramel corn and help me to shoot the whole outfit photos :*
