Sunday Out

Very early on Sunday morning (by my standards), I met Sarah to drop by Soon Lee to check out a new local label, Chalk. The incredible designer behind Chalk is Priscilla and I’ve known her since kindergarten through primary school! Her debut collection features girly dresses and some pieces ideal for office wear. Every piece is saccharine sweet and fun fun fun.


I really wanted the white dress in this photo but Sarah and I decided I would look like a tranny in it. I wish I was more of a lay-dy!


Here’s Priscilla in one of her own designs. Do go to her site and check out the entire collection! Or pop by Soon Lee, where her collection is available. {Hello hello to Sharon and Zann too!}


A cardigan from Soon Lee that both Sarah and I find cute

From Haji Lane, we made our way to CA California at Dempsey Hill.


Sarah’s unbelievably-real-looking headband


I had a Philly Beef Wrap


Because I took a photo of my outfit, I’m gonna shamelessly post it anyway. The dress is Laura Lees for Topshop, tights to hide my terrible bruises from floorball, vintage wingtips via ebay.

Lastly I want to welcome Sarah back to blogosphere! Her revamp is gorgeous and her photos inspiring as ever, go enjoy it!

    I love anything saccharine, girly and fun! Your dress is so pretty. I love the print, the frill around the middle and the diaphanous overlay. Oh and your shoes….okay I really like your whole outfit:)

    Great great photos and you’re wearing such a cute dress! The oxfords are quite scrumptious as well.

    I am so grateful for tights because of the fact that they’re great for hiding bruises. I’ve always got some of my own from biking, skating, and me just being normally clumsy everyday.

    And I’m curious…what’s floorball?
