Tis the season...

There are many reasons to celebrate Christmas. As often as we take it as an excuse to catch up with friends (some to get drunk or high) or shop til we drop, at least, it is ONE GOOD reason for us to drop our busy schedules and give a part of our time to those we profess we love.

I am at the age where I am beginning to truly experience loss and regret. I've shared a good many tears with close friends who have lost their parents too. There are only 24 hours alloted to Christmas. May I suggest that before we rush to fulfill our big plans for parties and what to wear and what gifts to buy, let's pause and think, how much time do I give to my mom and dad in that 24 hours to just sit by them and hold their hands and listen? Or my kids, spouse and siblings?

We all have a ton of things to do that we can never ever finish anyway. But our families are NOT THINGS. As I am writing this, I sense the clock ticking. And life is over even before we feel it begin. And if there is a worthwhile gift to give, it is the best of ourselves. And what is our best? Not in the gift we cleverly choose or the card that we impress annually with poetic zest, but really, simply, ourselves.

Mind, heart and person.

God bless your mind, heart and person, this Christmas.

Pre Christmas Sale is Now On!

Hi vintage loving friends,

As we welcome the cool breezes and dramatic rain storms, let's kick off some serious shopping to prepare for year end celebrations. Stock up on your Christmas pressies for deserving buddies with our storewide 30% discount and free delivery to your home (or meet up:).

I will be putting up NEW ITEMS at the end of the year so do check in from December 12 onwards to a refreshing supply of vintage finds.

Genuine Brand New COACH handbag

$180.00  NOW ONLY $150.00 (SALE!) - has interesting and rare clasp in front
(tag still attached and comes with COACH gift box)
28 cm Length by 23 cm Height

Something that I bought over from an over-enthusiastic COACH lover girlfriend. She went to the States, found the store and overbought. The rationale? Since I'm there, might as well. Sounds familiar? So typical of us isn't it? The modern, do-all, know-all femme does have her moments of folly.

 Brand-new, ain't used. Pretty in a box. Save the femme de la folly. Anyone?

Great Singapore Sale! Just ASK to enjoy privileges and discounts!

Dear friends,

The annual hot sale has arrived. Its amazing how we Singaporean women are able to brave the blazing tropical heat to pick up a bargain product that we probably will not use. No matter. At least I bought it at a cheaper price. Will I use it? Maybe. Now that I have it. But I did buy it at a cheaper price than so-and-so did. And that's the crux of the matter. 

It won't come as a surprise to many of us if a poll is done and the GSS wins as a phenomenon that women have more vested interest in than the recent GE. Not that we are shallow but comsumerism is the byproduct of urban evolution, isn't it? And we are urbanites, born of urbanites, almost helpless to the sick smog of desire to have a piece of every pie, ultimately, enslaving ourselves to covetism.

Urbanisation wins.

And I? Still trying to sell you one of my vintage-inspired items, tapping on the lures of that big bad wolf a.k.a GSS. Come on, be my unsuspecting sheep.

Sales are open. Join the ride.
