If you’re needing to get inspiration on what sort of dresses to buy, wear or make, try Joanna Mastroianni ! I think I’ve just found a new favorite designer and even though I can’t afford to buy her pieces, I sure can enjoy looking at them online :)

Project: Guardian Angel

Every year, many of us look forward to spending our X'mas with loved ones and friends, exchanging gifts of all sorts. Year after year... I thought to myself... "How special would it be this year?"

I was reading the mX (papers) on the way home today, came across these ads which inspired me to do something a little more meaningful this X'mas. 

At the RSPCA, they don't look forward to X'mas. Over the festive season, about 3000 extra dogs & cats are dumped at their shelters for all sorts of shocking excuses. RSPCA is calling all Guardian Angels for help. Make your X'mas a special & meaningful one. Become a Guardian Angel here.

Loving the tunes of.... JM!



Starting to fall in love with singer Jessica MAUBOY and especially with her first smash single 'Running Back' featuring #1 chart topping US rapper Flo Rida. From a small town in Aussie land, she has started to make a name for herself international. She has also co-written many of the tracks and worked with writers who are all behind the successful names such as Usher, Mariah, Jordin Sparks, Rihanna.

The scent of 'Emotions' in a bottle


I couldn’t believe it but I just found out that Amanda and I had the same taste for one of our perfumes. It happened when Amanda had that particular perfume on yesterday and that scent had got me thinking for the whole day about what was it that seemed/felt/smelt so familiar and when I asked her about it, BINGO, it was the same one which I had 3 yrs ago -- Petite Chérie by Annick Goutal.

It definitely brought back many memories as someone special then had purchased that for me and since, it has been pretty tough finding one that could match that almost to perfection scent: a delicious blend of vanilla, peach and musky rose.

Annick Goutal came from quite a complicated past where she met her man, had a kid, he left her, she was diagnosed with cancer and later found herself indulging into the world of fragrance and packaging. Because of what she went through, each of her fragrance is a touchstone, a reminder of someone or something important in Goutal's life.

As per Annick’s words: “Like precious bouquets, gathering the rarest and most noble of natural essences, they are composed as a symphony, note by note, in an eternal quest for balance, quality and perfect harmony" and once you have sampled the fruits of Annick Goutal you'll be a devotee.
