There is somebody who loves you, always.
Back with a massive pictorial update from a short staycation at The Scarlet
and the Lunar New Year celebrations. Work officially starts tomorrow!
A part of me would hate to bring an end to our annual break,
but at the same time i can't wait to launch the new Spring collections already ;)
What arrived at my doorstep a week back. The biggest bouquet I've ever received :')
Off to our lil' getaway!
Lunch at Private Affairs
Mx brought me to this restaurant for lunch before we checked into the boutique hotel and i loved the
ambiance and privacy. There were no other patrons so it felt as though we had the whole place to ourselves.
The 3 course set at $36++ (cosisting of appetiser, main & dessert) was a really good deal to boot.

The 3 course set at $36++ (cosisting of appetiser, main & dessert) was a really good deal to boot.
For appetisers, I had the Pan-Seared Foie Gras, Slow Cooked Egg &
Morel Mushroom Sauce which i really enjoyed while he had Onion Soup.
The best part has to be the mains, where I had Beef Tenderloin with Mushroon Vol-au-vent
and Masclun Salad. The meat was so tender, it definitely tops my list for the best steak.
His: Penne Pasta, Slipper Lobster and Black Pepper Sauce
They were very generous with the portion and the flavor was perfect
Desserts: Cheese Platter with Condiments
I wasn't able to appreciate it even though i'm a huge fan of cheese in general
Warm Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream, a pretty safe choice that doesn't go wrong
Outfit: Garden Grandeur in Black

Staycation at The Scarlet
I love how the hotel is very consistent with the colour theme of Red and Black
Even the toilet was gorgeous, every detail was so beautiful
The location of The Scarlet was fab, situated just next to Ann Siang Hill and Club Street
which makes it so much easier to decide on a dinner place
Da Paolo Ristorante
It was not long before we decided on Da Paolo Ristorante for dinner,
we were pretty lucky to get a table despite not making reservations beforehand.
Food was pretty average, i'm not sure if i will head back again

So we ended the night with cocktails and fondue at the hotel's rooftop bar, Breeze
Scored these lovelies for less than 20bucks, definitely my best deal for the night
Breakfast at Le Chocolat Cafe
We got up bright and early the next day so we wouldn't miss the rainbow cakes phew
Ham&cheese Croissant/Toast, English Breakfast Tea/Coffee, Cereal and Fruits
My first Rainbow Cake Slice ($7) which made me a happygirl the entire day
Clad in sunshine colours to welcome the start of the weekend

Ending the stay with mandatory shots at the balcony, i really hate to leave
Lunar New Year Celebrations
We held a self-collection session in the office a few days before Cny,
and it was such a pleasure meeting you girls in person. Thank you for making the way down :)
So glad the courier bags came in time before our last Cny collection!
Outfit: En Fleur Peplum Dress in Vibrant
Received a couple of compliments from the customers who came down for self-collection,
this dress is still one of my all-time favourites
CNY House Visitings
The cousins in Ohvola outfits as well
In Floradale Tea Frock Crimson, which complements the skin tone of fair girls
Caught this huge piece of orange skin during the lion dance performance,
and sure enough it brought me some good luck during the card games. Hee cheap thrill ;)
My favorite Tapestry Tweed Dress is finally here, cant wait to launch it soon!
Taylor has got new clothes for Cny too
Lou Hei at my house is always the messiest and loudest without fail every year,
cheers to a even better year ahead!
