Pretty Little Deeds: Preetdeets

Hello, as promised, I am really active :) Now, I am back with thin bracelets (very suitable for ladies who have tiny or small wrists) which can be used for stacking.
Preetdeets3Check these out, gorgeous isn't it? These are pearl bracelets with charms and Suede Braidlets with charms! If you are like gushing, you just have to read on~!
Sweet, delicate and dainty - 3 words would pretty much sum up the review I have for you today!
Preetdeets2
So check out what I received in my mail from Preetdeets:) My 3 bracelets came in separate ziplock bags and are of different character and style so that they can be worn for different occasions.
I won't suggest stacking bracelets of different styles together though. For example, in my opinion, the 2 suede braidlets would totally look good together. The silver charm on the other hand would look better with the pearl and and charms cos it is too demure to go the kick-ass braidlets.

The standard measurement would be 14" in length. However,you can always customised to suit your wrist if you prefer it to be hung loose. (I think it looks better tight though:P)
These are how the bracelets look when they are on my wrist. They are all pretty in their own ways. The coloured suede was a clip-on and had 3 charms on it - Eiffel Tower, London plate and passport, reflecting the wanderlust in me. The Navy charm had a very unique anchor hook. I super love the anchor hook! The silver bracelet is extremely stretchy and it is the sweetest among them all. I don't know why but I find this a perfect gift for a newborn girl cos there was something small and delicate about it. Also, on it hung a charm, "made with love" ... :P  
You will probably be seeing me wearing more of it in my other reviews as well. And yes that's my laptop bag hehehe! I will be linking their website here. But do check out their Carousell and Instagram cos they show a lot more designs!@Preetdeets. They are very affordable too, so don't give them a miss :)
I have so much more to share, and a giveaway coming right up too :P :P :P Don't miss that one ok?

Study in Style: Sew Shiny

Hey peeps,
sorry for the lack of updates. As mentioned in many of my earlier posts, I was having the exam fever. :(
So the last few weeks (or was it days, I totally lost count of time), I was intensively mugging or at least trying to do so. Terrible days. But I am glad it is over. However, I am so behind in terms of reviews. So I will be compensating you guys by being a little more active for the next week :P
SewShiny
 During my study period, I was using my new laptop bag customised from Sew Shiny to lug about all my study materials and my laptop. It is actually supposed to be a laptop bag but after fitting my 13" Mac book, I still had a good amount of decent space left.
And so, I did put some other stuff in it...Hehe. I won't say it is a lot of other stuff. But it is not little either.
Sew Stationary
 Apart from the flora headband, (that is to make it look pretty!) everything else could be fit into the little laptop bag. If you did notice, all my stationary are pretty much mono black and white, so at least the carrier came with a pop of colour, otherwise I might be condemned for being one dull girl. :(
For those who are interested into customized sewn products, I would really recommend Sew Shiny. My laptop case came with soft padded support at the side and it was very well sewn. There was no loose threads etc and the zip was fully functional. Impressed? Definitely!
Sew Shiny1
Apart from laptop bags/ sleeves, they also offer a variety of products ranging from clutches, pouches, tissues holder and phone covers. The variety are really endless because customers can really design and come out with the design they want and Sew Shiny will literally make your dreams come true.
She sent me some of her old designs and I also looked through some of her products, consolidating my favorite few. The top 3 are the designs I like best. The laptop sleeve with the 3 squares are very chic and professional looking. I just love the design of the clutch - how you can slip your hand into the bow. And lastly the cute puppy camera case- ahhh, there is no way anyone a resist a cute puppy!

 There is also a selection of fabric you can choose from - the top for bigger items such as Tote Bags/ Laptop Sleeves and the bottom for smaller items like handphone covers and pouches. The beauty of customised products is that you will always end up with something you like and reflects you :)

 Thought I would also highlight the details of the fabric. From far, my bag may look like red polkadots with a white pocket. In fact it is an intricate white flora pocket. Gorgeous, isn't it? This little touch just made the whole laptop bag looks so much more demure and sweet.
Sew PrettyLastly, some photos to show how you may look "Sew Pretty" with Sew Shiny. I did an informal look wearing our national attire - slippers, singlet and shorts along with a Love in Paris necklace from GlitteryBlitz. My formal attire consists of a striking purple dress with black/white block heels and my magnetic hematite bracelet.
So do drop them a visit if you are looking for something for yourself or your loved ones (Christmas is coming!) and thank you all for your patience and encouragement all this while throughout my grueling exam :) XOXO

1 Year Older

hopefully 1 year wiser too...
This year, my birthday is hell darn crap and for the next few years it will probably be crap like too cos it is super near my exams. Scream, wails and throws myself on the floor. 
Bang Bang
Started off with with a nice birthday lunch with my one and only Indian BFF, so much for racial harmony. And I only have one good friend who is not off the same race as me...Zzzz...Lol. And she made me a whole truckload of ridiculous selfies. There goes my professional image (if any) LOL!
We went to 2 Blur Guys. There was a slight queue. But dang, it was worth! The portion doesn't really look that fantastic in the photo but trust me, after you are done with it, you will be so full, there is barely room for desserts.
Cake
To start off the week, my BF bought me a birthday cake (which is the exact same cake I bought him!!! Like where's the creativity yo?!?) cos I thought I won't be free on the actual day itself. Stop over at Starbucks to redeem my free cake. And since there was 1-for-1 drinks, we also got ourselves 2 cups :P
Supposed to get a better treat from him on Friday, but I settled for money instead (which he transferred me). Kinda regret it now cos I am seeing him less and less because of his work commitment :( He still owes my my bday flats though. Sigh
HappyBday
On my birthday actual day itself, I ended up having some time to myself. And so my Dad treated the family to a nice steak meal at the NUS alumni. My BF came along as well, so I guess that set him back another day of OT work.
The meal itself was really good with refillable fries. But it was so slow. We had to wait really long before the meal itself was served. The ambience was fantastic and the price was reasonable but it is just so out of the way for normal people who doesn't live as close to the place as us.
Staycation
Ended off the weekend with a staycation at Hyatt with the gals. I didn't stay long cos I was moody I guess and had revision to do. My BFF didn't turn up as well for our "joint-celebration" cos she had an exam too. It sux to grow up. I am meeting my friends lesser and lesser.
Soon, I will be meeting up with my JC friends...yeah! It seems so long since we last met. My memory is really quite bad. I can't remember what I wished for already. Lol, may it come true!!! That is all that truly matters. But since I can't even remember, even if my wish is granted, I probably won't know too *chuckles*
