“To me, luxury is a lifestyle. It is how you live as an individual, from your own unique experiences, interests and possessions.”  - Jessica Tham

I am truly honoured to be a part of Reebonz’s 6th Anniversary this March as a featured Style Files’s Centre Stage influencer. Reebonz is all about accessible luxury and today I'll be sharing about my shopping experience with them!

If you didn't already knew, Reebonz is Asia’s trusted online brand for buying and selling the widest variety of designer products and pre-owned luxury fashion. Modeled around the concept of ‘accessible luxury’, members may shop a range of coveted luxury online or via Reebonz mobile app.

Having been in the luxury industry for 6 years now, Reebonz understands the lifestyle of the Reebonz woman, and has evolved the shopping experience to fit her busy lifestyle.

"Shopping with Reebonz is always a joy from the online ogling then transforming them from dreams to beautifully wrapped reality in a luxurious black box and gold ribbon with the best present (from myself) in it!" - Jessica Tham


Luxury is Convenience.

With Reebonz's web and mobile app, we can enjoy the ease of shopping on-the-go, 24/7 in the comfort of our home. I have personally bought a clutch off the online store itself, and its user-friendly interface coupled with the smooth process from browsing to checking-out makes shopping with them a breeze!

Not only that, my purchase comes prettily packaged in a beautiful black box with a gold ribbons (Reebonz's colours!) right on time and at my convenience. Gone are those days when I have to worry about missing parcels or the hassle of arranging for re-deliveries.

Buying luxury isn't the only thing Reebonz has to offer. Their newest platform, Closets, is a super quick and easy experience for consumers like you and me to buy and sell pre-owned designer fashion through the Reebonz mobile app. All you have to do is snap a photo, sell and get paid! All done through your phone! Talk about convenience ;) For more information on how it works, you can check it out here.

My First.

6 years ago today, I got my first Chanel bag.

Don't ask me what's up with that picture - I looked disgusting hahaha.

The reason why getting my first Chanel was so memorable that I had to have a picture taken was because I spent that July 2008 basic salary on it. My salary was credited after midnight and the next thing I know, I swiped the entire amount away with a debit card to pay for the Chanel PST. It was a 21st birthday gift for myself.

Ah, 21st.
Once that sweet young thing with the awful short bob and messy, uneven bangs I trimmed myself.

I was searching for these pictures, one picture led to another and then I went, "OMG I LOOKED SO CUTE LAST TIME! My skin looked so flawless and soft. I seemed to have more hair. I was less flabby. WHAT HAPPENED?"

Next week, I turn 27.

I guess we cannot be cute forever. Especially not when 6 years have passed.

Sorry for the digression.

As I was saying, I got sucked into the material world back then and it was hard to get out because Paris! Milan! London! Frankfurt! Rome! Big brands are easily accessible and may I add, at a HUGE discount of Singapore's prices so it was just handbag after handbag and I couldn't stop! (No regrets there by the way. I know many of you labelled me as materialistic, vain, yada yada, but I don't think you are in any position to tell me off because I buy with my own money, I'm not a gold-digger, H and my parents do not feed my material wants, and why should you be so concern with how I spend my money anyway?)

So now 6 years later, I am no longer using the Chanel PST, probably a maximum of once a year for the past 3 years. I have decided to pass it on to a new owner who will get more uses out of it. You are not just buying a secondhand bag; I am also handing over 6 years of memories to you. :')

I keep the bag in its original dustbag + box with stuffing after every use so it is still in superb condition. Caviar leather is very durable so there are no scratches at all!

Doorstep Luxury: Bags and shoes and bagsssss!!

Monochrome minimalist outfit the other day with my current favourite bag from Sophie Hulme!

I get a lot of my fashion inspiration online, especially through Instagram. It was also through this platform I first got to learn about the brand Sophie Hulme because I saw it on one of my favoruite fashion bloggers from China whom I follow. The bag was love at first sight for me so of course I started hunting high and low for it! And then I found Doorstep Luxury which is one of the exclusive retailers of the brand in Singapore!!

SO AWESOME.

I went down to their retail store located at 163 Telok Ayer Street to check out the store and to shop a little. By the way, Telok Ayer Street has some of the nicest eateries with some pretty spots to take #ootds haha. It is quaint, quiet and full of surprises - just like Doorstep Luxury.

If you are a huge fan of Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Clutch... TADAAAAHHHH!!

Every colour possible can be found in store! Silver chain, gold or rose gold chain for Mini MAC or normal MAC, you name it, they have it!

I love this Twilight Sky colour!

As I ventured a little deeper into the store, I fell in love with the envelope clutches from Marshall Bergman! Prior to this visit, I have never heard of the brand but I really love the sleek and elegant finishing. Laptop/tablet bags they may be but I think they look fantastic as a clutch too!

I always have a soft spot for camel brown bags so this really caught my eye. (So did the forest green one actually... *sheepish smile*)

Of course, here's the coveted Sophie Hulme corner which I adore. I like the classic + minimalist design of her collections which may look simple with the gold buckles but the design speaks volume. For the fun-loving you, you might want to consider the bright seasonal colours like the yellow or kelly green as seen above!

If you are looking for a work bag, the Mini Zip Top Bowling Bag (black or cream/navy bag pictured above) would be a great choice too!

Anyway, after I carried my Sophie Hulme out, friends were texting me and asking me about it and I was surprised to learn that they are ALSO fans of the brand! For the uninitiated, most of my friends do not actually fancy big brands, they very much prefer contemporary designers with understated classiness which I am taking a liking to lately!

Personally I love the hot pink Soft Zip Top Buckle Tote (on sale now!!) but I do wear quite a lot of colours so it would be a little difficult for me to match it with my already colourful outfits. So I got the same design in black! Hehehe. It is so roomy, extremely convenient for me as I don't have to arrange my belongings to fit the crazy load of stuff I bring out, plus I can even fit my laptop in it! It is basically perfect for me as I start to love bags that fit more than just my wallet and handphone. Wait till you feel the buttery leather! *heart-eye emoticon*

I had a hard time putting this clutch (also from Sophie Hulme) back on the shelves......

No, I haven't forgotten about the SHOES section. I would totally wear that pair of orange sandals from Emblem if they actually have it in size 35!

We all need a pair of python skin orange sandals right???

How about a pair of python flats instead?

For all you Melissa Shoes fans, now you know of another store where you can purchase/check sizes at!  ;)

Doorstep Luxury brings in a lot of international contemporary brands which I have started appreciating lately. Expect to see designers such as Rebecca Minkoff, Sophie Hulme, Zatchels, Orla Kiely, Liebeskind, Whiting & Davis, Seasonal Whispers and local jewellery designers like Carrie K, Marilyn Tan, DUSK and Saught!

Wishbone necklaces from Carrie K in white gold, gold and rose gold!

Did you know:

The wishbone is considered a lucky charm in Euro-American traditions. 

This classic charm necklace is the ideal gift for women of all ages 

and will make a good gift for family and friends!

Assorted bracelets from Marilyn Tan and Carrie K!

Statement cuff pieces from Marilyn Tan which will add an air of sophistication to your dinner outfit!

More outfit pictures from the other day!

The bag remains structured and in shape, 

no weight can cause the bag to slouch at the bottom even though the leather is soft!

For a very casual look injected with colours and a pair of canvas loafers

I cannot emphasize enough how much I love it!!!

Lucky you as Doorstep Luxury offers FREE next day courier delivery 

with any purchase from their online store!

If you do not like what you receive, 

simply return or exchange the item within 14 days of purchase for FREE!

Online shopping made soooo much easier! ;)

If you're here to find out about how H proposed to me...

This is not the post you're looking for hahahaha.

Another entry la okay!

Today I'm sharing about my BOY!

I was actually looking for this design:

SO DAMN GORGEOUS RIGHT!!

AND THE COLOURS OMGGGG SO PRETTY!!!

BUT 

every sales assistant told me this design was from the Cruise Collection so they no longer have it :(

My heart crushed and died,

so I decided to move on.

I bought my favourite macarons!

And decided to do a mini photoshoot with my Boy hahaha

I couldn't stop prancing around the room with it!

So happy!

I've already gotten a lot of questions with regards to the Boy...

So I'm gonna answer them here all at once.

I bought it in Paris.

Price: 2650euro

Size: Medium

Material: Patent lambskin

There's only one compartment on the interior where you can slip in some notes/cash/cards,

and none on the exterior.

I actually quite like the rustic feel of the chain, 

something very different from the rest of my classic chained Chanels :)

Don't ask me how many Chanels I have. I was told I'm crazy :(

But there's nothing quite like a Chanel bag.

Please call me The Chanel Girl. 

hahahahaha
