Dabbling Around

You'd expect each collection from a designer to be
a true reflection of his/her state of mind and passion
at that moment of conception and then each piece an
outward expression of that but the fun and passion
that's presumably involved in each collection is often
eroded by the practicalities of a business such as the
item's marketability, cost of raw materials and the time
required.

As I've been following my husband on his work trips,
I haven't had the chance to update my site as I could
not lug all my supplies with me. However, I managed
to bring a handful of brass items with me and I've used
this time to really get down to just having fun and
experimenting with them.

Ooohh, the lovely effects (glossy, shimmery, matte) I've
gotten while playing around with paints and dyes have
been inspiring. I expect to launch my fall 2009 collection
at the end of August and let it be known that it will be
borne out of a sense of wonder, inspiration and
experimentation!

Bagged A Beauty

I'd been shopping around for some time to see if I
could find something that was stylish, functional
yet a little boho and didn't cost an arm and a leg.
Having also scouted the malls both in Singapore
and Indonesia (where I'm currently residing), I
still liked the ones I had shortlisted in my earlier
post.

I've finally gotten my bag...yes, many months later
but here it is. Ta Da !!

The Foley+Corinna City Clutch in Glossy Eggplant

Love it's glossy patented leather in a deep purple
(darker than what's actually captured in the photo)
that it looks almost dark brownish-black at some
angles and the smell of new leather hmmmm..... !
