The Tale of Two TTs

AnAn is a full-time working mom who, despite career ambitions en masse, wishes she could spare more time channeling her inner domestic goddess - planning parties, trying out recipes with her young daughters and potting herbs in the garden. Just don't expect her to toil all day baking cookies in a frumpy caftan. Sure, she'll bake the cookies -she just doesn't do frumpy.

AnAn’s a big believer in quality but she’s not hung up on labels. She prefers multitasking pieces which can go from day to night, work to weekend that complement the many hats (fashion pun intended) she wears. Printed skirts and dresses that feel feminine but not froufrou are also favourites. An avid fan of vintage, she frequently scours (and scores!) internet sites for stylish, one of a kind bargains. Her ultimate fashion soft spot, however, is for shoes. Never met a pair she didn’t like.

ChiChi is a professional living and working in the big city with a penchant for desserts, 80s disco music and home decorating. She also enjoys the occasional lunchtime and weekend shopping sprees with AnAn.

ChiChi’s fashion philosophy is a mix of the high (like her precious Chanel 2.55 bag, a hand-me-down btw - thanks Ma!) and low (vintage tops). And although she tends to steer towards black, she likes to combine the classic pieces with the whimsical. She is as passionate about style as she is about the other love of her life: her family.

Sandra Bullock

Can't help but notice how fabulous Sandra Bullock's been looking lately. We're totally loving her outfit choices both on the red carpet and off. To put it simply, we're absolutely inspired! (read: need.gladiator.heels.now) Her sartorial picks are trendy, yet age-appropriate and smouldering with sex appeal. Currently busy promoting her latest movie The Heat, Sandra B. is certainly turning the style thermostat right on UP!

Our sentiments exactly, Datuk Lat:

Racism and bigotry are ugly. And uncool. And totally cramps our style!

Yes, we've been awful quiet lately and we apologise, but we've gotta say this:

Exercise your rights.

Whether it’s joining the gym, spending less or saving more, most people make new personal milestone targets each time another new year rolls in. Our very belated one for 2013 can pretty much be summed up by this quote:

Have a great 2013 everyone!

17.12.2012

Awwww, look what came in the mail today - birthday greetings from a couple of our favourite places. How cute is this:

We've had another great year, and hope to see many more. For we have kids we want to see grow up, still places to go, people to meet, experiences to savour, adventures to attempt, and a whole lot more love to give! Mark Twain also said that "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." We don't mind, not at all :)

Irresistibly yours,
