Special edition PlayXtreme TR4 Jogger

Thanks to amazing demand and support, I’ve sold out my Micralite strollers! Except for a beige one awaiting collection from a mummy whose number I’ve lost! (Please text me when you see this)

When we were on our stroller hunt-holiday in London, we also stopped by Barcelona. And guess what we did when we were there? Yes! Visit another stroller manufacturer! You must think that we are officially kuku, but my dear hubby was determined to get our hands on a jogger-type stroller that wasn’t available here, which would be perfect for a brisk walk in the sometimes-muddy and pot-holey terrain at Botanic Gardens. (You would by now, guess, that the hubby does do things in extremes. Wait til you listen to the number of bikes and tennis rackets and diving equipment he has!)

Anyhoo! We met up with the GM who brought us to his favourite Catalan restaurant and we even spent half a day at the test lab. We ended up ordering a bunch of the PlayXtreme TR4. A shipment, to be exact!

Because we could customise the colours of the seat and the diaper bags, we ordered the Black Series, the Orange-with-Green-Flowers Series and the Blue-with-Yellow Stars.

Because there wasn’t a prior distributorship in the region, there are only 50 units of these in Asia Pacific, all of them with us. We were retailing this stroller at $1600,  but now you can get the handsome package at just $850. The bulk of our customers were expats, but we realise that an increasing number of jogger strollers have been appearing in the market, which means that the locals are finally catching on! And using it as their weekend stroller at the parks.

This Special Edition features red coil suspension and ventilated disc brakes. Daddies really dig this. Standard edition has black coil spring and drum brakes, which is not as effective as disc brakes. (Trust you me, go check out the rest!). And unlike the usual 3-wheelers, this jogger has unique double front wheels for stability.

Introducing the Black-on-Black series!

The special red coil suspension!

Only $850 now! You know my number :)

Can’t get Kelly out of my mind!

I have always loved Grace Kelly’s grace and her kelly. *I know, I know. I haven’t blogged for a bit, please indulge me :) *

It was love at first sight, more than 15 years ago when I watched my all-time favourite Hitchcock movie ‘Rear Window’ starring the ever-charming James Stewart and Grace Kelly (Re-runs, people, re-runs, I’m not that ancient! Haha). Her feline grace, her beauty, just stuck in my head – and the dress too (There was a point I had really wanted to marry in a dress like this!).

I thought to myself, ‘I want to be like her when I grow up!’.


Not a snowball’s chance in hell! But perhaps carrying a Box Kelly that she made so famous, could make me a hair’s breadth closer??

Having had box kellys  and kelly cuts pass through my hands, I’ve finally overcome my ‘box’ fear and am succumbing to its lure. I had thought to myself, if a Rouge H, Box, Sellier, GHW one come by my way, I’m keeping it :)

And that’s exactly what happened. Reveals when I finally get the bag!

Happy N-Day people!

My BB got smashed! Lost contacts. Pls text me!

Hi all,

In an unfortunate series of events, my Blackberry got smashed beyond repair, and I’ve switched to an iPhone, not before realising that I’ve lost a bunch of numbers!!

Please, please sms or whatsapp me, especially if you are due to receive goodies from me! Reach me at the same number: 96877490

One Day Affair goes on SALE

In the spirit of GSS, we giving a 15% discount off all the remaining items on One Day Affair.

SHOP NOW!

Finally, the Happiness reveals!

24hours in a day just doesn’t seem enough for me! I’ve taken up a new role (yup, no more playing pretend tai tai for me!), and I would like to say a sincere sorry to all the folks I’m unable to shop for.

I’m really enjoying providing this service especially for my regular clients (you know who you are!), and at the moment, I will be limiting my pool of customers so I can provide a timely and personalised service. How to be a ‘regular’? It’s all in the stars, and if I am ‘lucky’ enough to fulfil your orders once or twice, you’ll be in the loop. Don’t let that stop you from contacting me though, what I just said is a ‘disclaimer’ I have to put in, what with the ever-increasing numbers of orders we get.

As you know, I hardly put items up here for sale, for the goodies we shop for usually has a name attached to them, and that’s what a true concierge service is ;)

Ok, let’s get on with the reveals! We had some more amazing coups and I can’t wait to share.

We had some really pretty, red bracelets especially the Sanguine (new tomato-ey colour) ones.

We have one more available, at $1080, quick text me!
… some gorgeous new-season Lizzie cdcs…
… I had the pleasure of meeting up with a young, and very fashionable lady, for her pelouse gator CDC (that she’s been seeking for a while) to complement her very very gorgeous birdie.

…and whilst we are at green, congrats to CC for being a happy owner of the Lime KP that she’s getting crazy compliments on :D (always a pleasure to shop for you!)
Also, am glad to fulfil CC’s wish for a Rubis KP, that goes perfectly with her So Kelly (had this delivered to her against all odds, when she come to sg for a visit)
I also notice a huge trend towards GHW, and there’s no wonder why, just look at these goodies who made some ladies very happy campers! (Shout-out to the really pretty K, who has great fashion sense to stack these black w ghw H goodies)
The Hapi makes me happy! K and I wonder why it’s so underrated, I’d stack two of them for a rocker look!
…a really pretty Orange Chevre in GHW (you’d be amazed how scarce colourful KLWs are!), congrats to J, am so honoured to end your year-long search!
And here’s a nice GHW coup! A gorgeous Gold Ostrich GHW birkin, for CC. I realise Gold on Ostrich looks like a muted potiron, and the GHW sets it off just perfectly!
And whilst we are on the topic of gorgeous, check out this Mykonos Eclat that I had the pleasure of handing to M..
… One more birkin! I love this 25cm Havanne Birkin that can carry you through from work to cocktails! Congrats to E :D
AND! Lastly, let me leave you with this teaser.
… that brought a smile to my face as wide as this:
Good sunday, everyone!

One Day Affair has started!

If you dig this hot, hot dress, you have barely a day to score an entire look built on it. Add some very very sought-after shoes, very-hot accessories (think YSL, CLs…), you are ready to steal the limelight.

Only 18hours left, to buy the entire Affair at a great price, after which, the look will be disbanded and sold as individual items, at prices less sexier (though still very very attractive) than as an entire Affair.

Why have just a bit of an Affair, when you should enjoy it whole. Log in to onedayaffair.com NOW and look at exactly what I’m talking about.
