I'm so excited to share my new COS quilted mini bag ($69) with you guys! I’m sure this bag needs no introduction. TBH, I stayed away from getting it cos it was getting mainstream and I thought it was quite overhype. But when I saw that they released it in the mini size I just couldn’t help it – it’s so cuteeee! I love my Bottega mini Jodie a lot and to me this is its casual cousin. I love holding bags by its handle so this is perfect for me.

And even though the bag looks really mini, it fits a lot – way more than my mini Jodie. I love that this bag is able to fit all of my essentials, but it's still small enough to be easy to carry around. Here's what I typically fit in the bag:

* Phone

* Wallet

* Aligner case

* Reusable bag

* Lipstick

* Hand sanitiser

* AirPods

I also love that this bag is so versatile. It can be dressed up or down, and it goes with everything in my wardrobe. I've worn it with jeans and a t-shirt, with a dress, and even with athleisure wear.

I know this bag is not always in stock, just check out the outlets often as I do see them quite frequently restocked, but it just gets sold out really quickly within a day or two.

here are some my favourite outlets to go for a productive study session at sbux and cbtl

📚PLQ Starbucks 👍👍👍

my favourite one! there is a spacious long table in the middle of the store with comfortable seats (sofa feel)

yes the manager sometimes is quite rude but the customer (students) are rude too. firstly they don’t buy anything ( not even bring a sbux bottle to pretend ) secondly they occupy seats for their friends………

but i normally go before 11am when it is not so crowded.

📚Utown Starbucks 👍👍

it is located at NUS and all personnel here are students and professors. love the environment cuz all people beside you are studying and u also will feel the urge to study.

exam period it is 24hr but no aircon during midnight.

📚Novena Starbucks 👍👍👍

a small outlet! personnel here are mostly office workers. so expect crowds during lunch time. customer inflow and outflow is very balanced and seats can be normally and easily found too.

📚sixth avenue cbtl 👍👍

cbtl has worse customer service than starbucks that the reason i don’t often go cbtl.

only explored this outlet which is located right beside my house. only morning will be crowded cuz many british people live here and sitting down and enjoying a cup of coffee is british culture.

hey all! i’m a huge scent girlie and have been wanting a jo malone perfume (specifically wood sage & sea salt) for a while.

the 100ml bottle retails for $239 in sephora, i got mine at $134 when i travelled to the UK; a whole $100 less!!

here’s how i did it:

• don’t buy it from the high street even if the exchange rate is decent enough. go into the stores and test the perfumes to find your favourite scent first and buy it later!

• use the heathrow reserve and collect! key in your flight details so they can cross check the availability for you

• reserving online gives you an additional 10% off! that saved me $15

• collection took me less than 10 minutes – just show them your order and pay at the counter!

this was pretty much my best buy of the trip since it was such a steal, and i’m glad i did sufficient research so i know where to get it for the cheapest!

also, the prices in the duty free stores are now significantly lower since there’s no tax rebate, so make sure to head to the airport early for more shopping!! if you have friends heading to the UK for travels, you now know what to get them to buy 😉

so excited to share this authentic omakase place that my sis found for her bday celebration! this was sushi koike, located at circular road. the exterior didn’t have english signs, so it’s easy to miss! it has an intimate dining experience, with 11 counter seats and a private room of max. 6 pax. we came here on a special occasion and opted for the premium set, here’s what was served to us:

1/ first up was the assorted sashimi platter of oysters, bonito, yellowtail, mackerel and sweet prawns. we were already impressed with how fresh it was! chef also told us which condiment/ sauce would pair well with each item, ponzu sauce, soy sauce, sea salt, wasabi and yellow mustard. we also had sweet corn which was so sweeettt and earthy! the chawanmushi was different from usual, served with fish, peas and dusted with pepper. starter sushis were the squid and shima-aji, both were so fresh and well textured!

2/ then we had deep fried silver beltfish that had a light and crispy batter to it, the meat sooo tender too! thereafter was the shellfish sushi that was chewy and had a nice bite to it. the toro sushi, need I say more… super fatty and melt-in-your-mouth goodness! also had the nigaata prawn sushi, but was a bit too sweet for my liking.

3/ the uni rice with crabmeat was sooo flavoursome and easy to eat! the sea crouch sushi was my personal fav of the night, so soft, oily and just DELICIOUS. the minced negitoro handroll was filled to the brim with the meat, topped with spring onions – was a hefty piece but soooo yummy and satisfying. we also had the scallop sushi and marinated fish that were well delivered but nothing to shout about. at this point, I was getting stuffed so missed out on the following items: uni sushi, tuna sushi and eel sushi 🙁

4/ended the meal with some really sweet grapes, melon and warubi mochi

safe to say that my fam left with our bellies filled and happy! bonus was that the chef and staff were very interactive, and with the space being smaller, it made it easy for conversations and quality time 🥰 the chef is also from tokyo, we were told that he goes back 4 times a year to get ingredients and small trinkets, so you know you’re getting your money’s worth! would 11/10 go back to celebrate happy days and #SavourTheMoment ✨

this is my #goto place to buy flowers to treat myself or for my loved ones because of how affordable & myriad of choices that they offer!

i know most floral shops sell flowers for nothing less than $20-30 but fret on because 📍ji mei flower sells the prettiest and cheapest flowers~

no excuse for your boyfriends complaining how expensive flowers are 😮‍💨

they even have tulips 🌷 (which is rare)

i got a set of 11 roses for $10!!! so cheap! so good!

#OnlyInSG #MyGoTo

For this look, I paired a light blue shirt with cream denim pants that I cuffed at the end. Added a neutral sweater for layering and texture.

This outfit is perfect for a colder windy/ rainy day in SG 💙

Kept the accessories minimal with my MOP Datejust and Cartier love ring. My earrings were gifted by my grandma – a small hoop with gold and silver accents to tie in the mixed colours of the silver watch and rose gold ring. A subtle detail, but one that brings the look together. ✨

Top: All Saints Men’s Shirt (M)

Bottom: Zara High Waisted Denim

Bag: Kate Spade

Watch: Rolex MOP Datejust

I passed by Laneige & saw their 1-for-1 sale AND I KNEW I HAD TO BUY IT !!!!🫣🫣 Everything became sooo affordable !!! Sadly, the sign said storewide 1-for-1 but it isnt🥲🥲

I bought a total of 3 products with my friends!! The 1-for-1 had to be the same product ~

✿ WATER SLEEPING MASK ($50 for 2!) ✿

My ultimate favourite from Laneige ~ Realised that they have a Cica sleeping mask now which is more for sensitive skin & acne prone skin !! The Water Sleeping Mask is their og & best seller, since it was working well on me, i decided to get it again!! I use it alternate nights !!

✿ WATER BANK HYALURONIC CREAM ($62 for 2!)✿

I’ve been using this as well. It complements the water sleeping mask well ~ It comes in 2 variation (the cream base & gel base) I chose the one for combination & oily skin, while the other one is better for dry skin!! The texture is abit thick so i prefer the gel version! This can be used daily, day & night

✿ WATER BANK HYALURONIC SERUM ($68 for 2!)✿

I just started using this since it was advisable to use all 3 products together !! It is quite light on the face but i’m not a fan of the smell ):

They always have sale so you can get it from the store or from Sephora when they have 20% off !!

The steps recommended for the products would be Toner → Serum → Cream → Sleeping Mask 🤭 Also, the expiry of the products are 2025!! so you can deffo stock it up🤭

Not sure how long the sale is for so RUN THERE NOW ~
