Birthday Week!

It's my birthday this Saturday, and the husband has declared this whole week my Birthday Week! 

Birthday Week Day 1 on Monday was a lovely dinner at Alley Bar at Peranakan Place in Somerset. 

Alley Bar is literally located in an alley backlane between two conservation houses on Emerald Hill. It's longer than it is wide, dim with warm candlelight, and lined with hanging lamps and a gilt-framed mirror right at the end. I didn't take any photographs, and the internet doesn't seem to be throwing up any good images, but here's the best one I found:

 

I'd really like to go back for another visit. ^~^

Birthday Week Day 2 was even better - today Hubby ordered these off ASOS for me:

 Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

I'm so excited - can't wait to see what else happens in the days leading up to Saturday! Needless to say I'm also trying to guess what he's gotten me for my birthday, heehee~ This week is going to whizz past!  

In the meantime, random pictures from when I had a canter out at the weekend:

 

 

 

As you can see I got bored with adding watermarks halfway. Sigh! ^~^ Have a great week ahead!!

 

FOTD: Chinese New Year

Sorry for the long absence, blogosphere! It's been a busy week at work, and I barely had time to keep my head above water - so it's nice to be back! ^~^ It's the Chinese Lunar New Year weekend, so to all readers who celebrate, Gong Xi Fa Cai in the Year of the Dragon! Let's have a prosperous one! 

Today my family, hubby and I woke up early and headed out to visit relatives and friends.  Here's my FOTD, along with my Vivienne Westwood Anglomania x Melissa jelly shoes ^~^

Events: Cozycot 10th Birthday Bash - "Shirt Up"

Local beauty, fashion and all-round wellness website Cozycot.com is celebrating its 10th anniversary this December, and to celebrate they'll be throwing a birthday bash that looks set to be really exciting! For a start, the first 100 Cotters (cute pet-name for the lovely ladies who frequent the site) to RSVP and turn up at the event on 3 December 2011 (Saturday) which starts from 6pm at, get this, an as-yet undisclosed location, to get a complimentary door gift.

Once you sign up with your Cozycot log-in, you'll be redirected to a page telling you that you've been successfully pre-registered. Your email will ping with a new message as well, which holds your all-important 6-digit registration number. This will facilitate your entry to the event on the night, and save you endless amounts of hassle, I'm guessing. ^^

What's more, this year, Cozycot is celebrating an item of clothing that symbolises empowerment, freedom and making a statement - the very ideals that Cozycot stands for. The ubiquitous piece of clothing is none other than...

The Shirt

More specifically, Cozycot has a "Shirt-On" campaign with 3 distinct campaigns for Cotters to take part in.



Campaign 1 is to wear a shirt in as creative a way as possible - the more creative the better, while Campaign 2 just needs you to turn up in your shirtly best on the night. Campaign 3 is something everyone can do - riffle through your (or your man's/family members') wardrobe and pick out clothing that could do with going to a better home. Cozycot will be donating these used items of clothing to charity, so you won't only look your best at the bash, you'll be doing your part to help the underprivileged too~ ^^

I came across a couple of videos that might be of use for Campaign 1. Enjoy!
