Today's outfit was inspired by Victoria Beckham. Notice anything different today? I'm free from my usual stack of armparty! Victoria is often seen in either mini skirts, shift dresses or long gowns. But all share one thing in common; a tiny clinched waist. Her outfits usually focus on creating a structured/ exaggerated silhouette and minimum accessories. To me, Victoria Beckham is the definition of "Less is More" when it comes to fashion.

  Ice cream never fails to work its magic on most people, I have yet to meet any one who doesn't like ice cream. Even dairy avoiders like myself cannot resist this sweet treat. The satisfaction of the icy cool, smooth coat of sweetness in your mouth takes all the attention off the amount of calories you're actually consuming. Add the mix-ins, tim tams, granolas, oreos and so on, and there's heaven right here on earth. Universally adored as ice cream is, subjectiveness is equally applicable. Pickiness hits when it comes to flavours; some people hate chocolate (why?!), some don't take mint (why?!), some don't take vanilla (like myself), some only take sorbets, some love the exotic or weird concoctions, and the list goes on. Same as with fashion, it's subjective. Not only do different things look good on different people but what each individual likes is vastly different as well. When these individuals coincide on something they like, then boom, that's the bestseller or the 'hot' piece of the season or runway or collection.

In honour of Dressabelle's fourth birthday, we decided to bring the shoot outdoors as a special surprise. Coincidentally, it was Tisha's birthday on the day of the shoot so we had a chocolate lava surprise specially for the lovely model.  

Indulge in the celebrations and feast your eyes on the lookbook just as we feasted on the yummy all-day breakfasts at the cafe.

We are no strangers to commercialised holidays, from Christmas to Chinese New Year to Hari Raya to Mother's Day. Thankfully, Mother's Day is pretty self-explanatory. There is no big story behind this occasion, just a little food for thought. Mother's Day was first proclaimed in 1870 as a response to the blood spilt over the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War. Then it was first celebrated in 1908 by Anna Jarvis who held a memorial for her mother afterwhich, she campaigned for the day to be made a public holiday in America to success in 1914.
