Little Black Dress

I actually really love my long sleeves - they cover the bulge on my upper arm and protect me from the sun. This Easton Dress from Privacy Please is very wearable and perfect in our climate with its light fabric and I see myself wearing this again and again with its classic silhouette and colour.

Get it from REVOLVE, similar style here.

SEEING STARS

Crazy about stars lately - love the shape on my ears and on my clothes, 

and looking for more chic looking pieces like this one I'm wearing from REVOLVE.

Staying Cool with GRANA

I'll be honest - I love wearing long pants. However, most times I'm not seen in long pants or even a maxi skirt is due to the warmth and humidity we get in Singapore. You have no idea how often I change in and out of a pair of jeans/pants at home before settling on something above the knees because ugh, weather!

I'm excited to share the solution to staying cool is none other than wearing Chinese silk! I paired the Silk Ankle Pants in Off White and Silk Shell in Chocolate, both from GRANA. This is probably the first time I'm wearing delicate silk and the breathable fabric feels insanely luxurious on the skin, almost like second skin. The outfit kept me cool and my legs definitely do not feel suffocated!

One thing I love about GRANA (other than the fabrics they use) is the huge array of colours they offer. Depending on the colours you choose, pairing the same designs can give off a different feel or it can be worn for different occasions. You should head over to GRANA's Instagram to check out how others are playing with the colours - lots of inspiration there!

GRANA (https://www.grana.com) is offering 10% discount + free international shipping for all orders with the code "JESSxGRANA". The code is valid till 10 July 2016, so head over, get some colours and let's stay cool together ;)

p/s: I wear XXS for both the Silk Ankle Pants in Off White (Short) and Silk Shell in Chocolate.

SOIGNÉ's Second Collection

I know it's been a long wait but SOIGNÉ is finally ready with our second collection! Just in time for Lunar New Year too :) We mainly stuck to the mono/neutral colour palette but included a special lipstick red design just for this festive period. I'm gonna be wearing this dress on the first day of CNY - super excited!

But of course, we made it in our favourite black/white too hehehe gonna be keeping this piece as well!

From this collection onwards, we will be including size XS so measurements for sizes S to L have been adjusted, do take note! As a reference, I wear XS for all designs and it should fit UK 6 perfectly.

In other news, SOIGNÉ The Label is also stocked at Revolte x SheShops #02-02/03 at Wheelock Place. We will be there till June 2016 so if you prefer shopping at a brick and mortar store, you can head down to check out and try the selection.

Our new collection will be available for sale online today, 25 January in the evening so I'll see you over at SOIGNÉ! :)

If you're wondering, I'm still working from home because of the convenience of storing SOIGNÉ inventories over at EBC Storage! I love the fact that it's only a 10-minute drive from our place and that it's opened 24/7. H and I always head down at weird hours, sometimes even at past midnight to get stocks lol.

The unit I'm at has racks installed so at one glance, I know where each design and sizes are at. There's no clutter at home or at the storage space. Not only that, you have the option to choose whether you want an air-conditioned unit or one without air-conditioning depending on your needs. I store my inventories at an air-conditioned unit, of course. Wouldn't want the clothes to grow mould!

I'm so used to the system and convenience at EBC Storage I've extended my stay at the storage unit by another 6 months ;) SOIGNÉ is still a relatively new start-up so I understand that every cent counts. So trust me, the prices are very reasonable and it wouldn't burn a hole in your pocket.

You can contact EBC Storage here for more information!

My Clothing Label, SOIGNÉ

Where did the month go? It really doesn't feel like I haven't dropped by in such a longgggg while. So what's up was my clothing label, SOIGNÉ (pronounced "swan-yeah"), had a launch party followed with a pop-up store at Monochrome Fusion Bistro last month. I've never planned for something as large a scale as the launch party so that was a first and I'm glad it was a success :) You can read more about it at this Dayre post.

Invited guests were treated to a short runway show and canapés (came in very big portions so I'm not sure if they should be called canapés hahaha) were prepared by Monobistro. It was actually quite fun, the crowd was interactive and engaged, we had a blast! I'm gonna share some photos taken that night by our official photographer, Tim Boey.

I've also been wearing some of my own designs to death.

This is white/grey but I also really love the black/white version which I wore it while on duty at the pop-up store hehe.

Everyone and my favourite top in white and nude :D The maxi skirt in black and nude was a hit among shoppers too!

Our Tailored Striped Pants which I've already worn it thrice!

This unique Peplum Sleeve Crop Top comes in pastel blue as well ;)

My favourite vest!! I've worn both colours (comes in black and white) countless times but I never got round to taking pictures for the black one. But I will this weekend!!

Yup, wearing the same pair of pants again haha.

I hope you girls like what you see! There are more previews over at our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/soignethelabel) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/soignethelabel) so you can check out both platforms :)

Our first collection will be launched online this Sunday, 15 Nov at 8pm. Sign up for our mailing list to be updated: http://soignethelabel.com

Lastly, a huge THANK YOU to all of you who came down to check out SOIGNÉ's pop-up store at Monobistro last month. Thank you so much for your support for me, I really appreciate it! :')
