We love fooling around with the contrast between casual and glam. Totally wishing for all of the above on this lovely weekend. Speaking of lovely weekends, Bijou Bazaar will be throwing yet another one of their popular events at MapKL.
Before you ask, we won’t be participating ‘coz we’re swamped with year-end surprises for you guys (YAY!). However, we WILL be checking the bazaar out for yummy goodies. Hope to see you guys there!

This week’s Twitter Fritters features three local names synonymous to the world of fashion blogging; Joyce aka Kinkybluefairy, Jacintha otherwise known as Travinia, and Chelle of the Melb styling duo MuffStit. The triple fashion threat combined their love for creating and their passion for collecting into an indie label/blogshop of their own – meet LEFTBLOCK, a line of vintage finds and self-designs.
While each have separate life paths – Joyce is a traveling blogger/writer that spends most of her time just enjoying the pleasures of life, Jacintha has relocated to the arty streets of downtown Melbourne, and Chelle just opened the quirky cafe that is Fat Spoon – they meet their minds in the playground that is LEFTBLOCK. And boy are we glad for this addition to a growing list of Malaysian made talents!

Two of our designers have been suffering from bloated feet due to pregnancy, and they’re fully dependent on flip flops… or what we’d like to call, feet faux pas. Instead of continuing with our daily flaunting of our non-bloaty feet in dainty heels and gorgeous pumps, we decided to scour the internet for a tutorial that they could use. And we found this Etsy fabric sandals tutorial!
Looks easy enough… but we’ve yet to try it out in the office. We’re gonna wait for Bangsar’s night market to grab us some cheap basic flip flops to test this tutorial out. In the meantime, if any of you guys have actually tried the recommended tutorials featured here, do send us pics!
Happy DIY Wednesday!

Always all for the eco friendly, here’s a little neighborhood nugget that caters to the green hearted.

From wallets to laptop covers to storage bins, NottyPooch is a unique find and psst…. Christmas is coming, and we’re pretty sure any of their products will make a big hit under the Christmas tree!
