When a song makes your heart skip a beat

Have you seen this ad?

I first saw it when my girls and I went to watch X-Men: First Class (which is SUPER AWESOME by the way!), and immediately fell in love with the song. After a little hunting, imagine my surprise when I realised it was actually a cover of this classic:

So big, big kudos to Joshua Radin for his amazing interpretation of You’re the First, the Last, My Everything. The song was exclusively recorded for Tiffany and can be downloaded here for a limited time only.

Pantone is love

This right here makes me very, very happy.

Pantone: 100 Postcards (US$19.95 from Chronicle Books)

I want to soak in every colour, every shade. Yes, all 100 of them.

Then I’ll create a lovely collage and think happy thoughts.

Hope you’re having a lovely Tuesday! ;)

Another Little Hole, by Aqualung

Vacational purchase

It’s such a girly thing, isn’t it? Shopping for a trip.

A few of my colleagues were talking about buying outfits/bags for an upcoming vacation, much to the bewilderment of a male colleague, who didn’t quite understand why it was necessary to “waste money” when money would already be “wasted” on plenty of shopping during the trip.

Ah, men. They just don’t get it. They don’t understand that it’s important to look good on a trip, as you’ll be taking heaps of photos, and it is precisely because of this reason, that we need to ensure we style ourselves properly so we can look good for the camera. Ergo, buying stuff before the trip is super essential.

Fortunately for me, my trip isn’t until the end of the year, so I have plenty of time left to get myself ready. Hehe. But that doesn’t mean I’m not already on the lookout for a couple of nice coats and a bag, despite the fact that I already have some… For that, I blame ASOS. They should never have offered free international shipping! ;)

Here are some bags I have my eye on:



Reiss Dorchester Lock Shoulder Bag
and Karen Millen Colour-Block Shopper Bag


French Connection Matilda Leather Shopper Bag and Kate Sheridan Pocket Tote


Cambridge Satchel Company 14″ Satchel and ASOS WHITE Harris Satchel

Don’t you just love online shopping? :p
