Weekly Finds and Inspirations #03: Instagram Things
By Sheryl - 12:23 AM
It's that time of year again!
There are so many things to love about Christmas: Peppermint Mocha @ Starbucks, Christmas lights and decorations everywhere, Season of giving, sharing and spreading of love.
I love shopping around for gifts and finding special gifts for people. So here's what I thought I'll do to kick start getting back to the blogosphere: Compile a list of cool presents to get the Christmas mood going! Some of the stuff from the list below are gifts I've personally purchased for others. Let me know what you think of them!
It's a perfect gift for close families and friends! Collecting memories from special occasions and placing them all into a Softcover photobook (SGD$5.90) or even a Canvas Print (SGD$14.90). The prices I've included above came from FAVE; Check the link for even more discounts and deals!
I chanced upon this site when I saw a friend carrying the Teh Bing tote bag (SGD$19.90). Sadly it's out of stock on the website now. But I did manage to snatch up the last piece when I headed to their store. The Kopi Bing Bag (SGD$19.90) would look pretty cool for someone who loves coffee, the traditional way too.
They have a ton of other super unique bags and trinkets, and I'm sure you'll find something, just as I did.
They even have a section dedicated to Gifts under $20!
While scrolling through Instagram, I found this gem. It's founded in Singapore and is the host to many different brands that sell super uniquely Singaporean trinkets and items. I love that they're taking meaningful things from our everyday lives and transforming them into something practical and useful.
Peng Kueh Coin Pouch & Ang Ku Kueh Coin Pouch (SGD$10.90 EACH)
For us girls who just wanna feel sexy in the most comfortable ways. I was, and still am pretty hesitant about unpadded bralettes. But after trying out the ones from OBC, I've been slowly adding more and more to my collection of bralettes. They're launching a new line of padded bralettes and I can't wait to lay my hands on them because I know they'll be utterly comfortable. Check out my favourites!
I'll add on more in due time. But for now, I guess these will do!
Till next time,

Another week has come and gone. From loafing around the Internet to heading out and about, guess what I found. Spotted a ton of super cute and quirky little home decor items floating around the various sites I usually browse. Often I would "add to card" but never check out cause I simply do not have any more space in my room for these items. I would love to one day own them and have them displayed on my wall though. (Maybe on the walls of my future house? hahaha am I planning too early in advance)
Chanced upon these really adorable post-it pads in shapes of my favourite animals - pandas and rabbits @ Tokyu Hands JEM. The panda on the right looks like it's dancing, right? Or am I the only one who sees it that way haha
HipVan is probably my favourite site right now. There's a whole range of really unique and interesting items and it just never fails to amaze me what I can find. While scrolling through the home decor section, I found this great piece. It's the Scratch Map Capitals by Luckies. It is essentially the world map in matte black, and whenever you travel to a country/capital/wherever, you erase that spot and it reveals a bunch of different colours. Well, of course in order for this to look really darn beautiful on the wall, you have to have the passion to travel and explore many places. I swear I could do just that, fly around the world soaking up all the different cultures the world has to offer. But the only issue here? $$$$$$$$$$
This simple, yet sophisticated Scroll Map Print by Quiirky is sure to have heads turning. It just makes an elegant focal piece and I really wanna own it right now but sighs, I don't have a place to hang it up!! There were so many different map related prints which were screaming for me to purchase, but of course the question now is "why do I need so many versions of the same map at home?"
Ever since I got my iPhone 6s, I have been on the look out for pretty phone cases. I'm pretty satisfied with the current transparent jelly one I have since I can switch up the polaroids, but still, I'm always looking for a prettier phone case. Guess whatttt I found on HipVan again (link here). These phone cases were selling out so quickly and we all know why. Look at it. Just look at it and tell it it's not elegant and just alsdjlajdlkajd pretty perfffff (last I checked, they only have 2 left????) These were the ones by Ted Baker, and gosh, if it didn't cost a bomb I would probably have scooped it right into my arms.
Okay, so long story short, I'm careless and clumsy and any expensive and pretty phone case I get will probably have cracks and scratches within a week. Is it worth it to get it and then have my heart broken cause it's ugly and scratched? Not really. So yeah, I'll just stick to my jelly phone casing for now.
Till next time,

It's been a good month or so since I ended my second year in Ngee Ann Poly. This past month, all I've been doing apart from sleeping and screwing up my body clock and sleep cycle is: 1. watching many many shows and sitcoms, 2. read and read even more, 3. baking sweet goodies, 4. occasionally brush lettering a favourite quote or two, and maybe 5. going to work whenever I'm called. Yup, I've basically been wasting away my rather precious holidays.
I can't seem to find the motivation to really go out and about to do anything at all. Safe to say, this is one of the most laid-back holidays I've had in awhile. I'm truly glad I've given myself time this holiday to just rest, and to do anything I want whenever I want.
Since I would rather stay at home, surf the net for lifestyle/fashion inspirations and read a book I thought it'll be nice if I did a weekly find & inspirations post to collate everything that has sparked my interest in the week. So here's to, hopefully, a successful trend of posts consisting of things from all over the Internet that has caught my eye.

Ever since I've seen a couple of pictures of what this book holds, I've been really wanting to pick up Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur. I'm not sure why I haven't gone and done just that yet. Maybe it's because I'm running out of space on my shelves for books and I don't want to just chuck them aside and not treat them properly. Oh well, it'll be the first thing I get this weekend cause I doubt I could wait any longer to dive and indulge myself in the wonders of the book.
Some of the other books I know I would get my hands on sooner or later:
- The Girl in the Polka Dot Dress by Beryl Bainbridge
- Us by David Nicholls
I was hovering around Pinterest, and I found this bad boy ^. Look at it. Everything about it is so calming and just so inviting. I would love to just sit there all day and read the endless list of books I have in mind to read. Surfing around Pinterest is probably a bad habit cause it makes me wanna get up and completely revamp my room in some odd "diy your room" project. Oh well, maybe I'll bookmark these amazing ideas for 10 years later and I'm deciding how to decorate my bedroom with the other half hmmmm?
