26 Weeks: Prints Please

Suddenly, I seem to have somehow started accumulating printed dresses. From graphic to ethnic, my wardrobe of mostly solids, checks and plaids has been infiltrated with loud prints. I only started with at most two printed dresses, and now I have like, five. Ehehe! Of course, I am still staying true to my vow of keeping a capsule wardrobe.

Here's what I wore at 26 weeks:

Marni x H&M dress with Marni platforms and accessories from J.Crew, Fenton/Fallon and Alexis Bittar, when Rissa & I attended the MEGA event with the theme "Global chic"...

Ran errands in this t-shirt jersey dress from Twenty8Twelve (this was my breastfeeding dress for Berry because it has snaps on the shoulder, so easy to remove hehe), Repetto BB flats and accessories from J.Crew and Fenton/Fallon

Lazy Weekend

Me: Hon, did you know that for this week, my post on your outfit is the 2nd most popular post next to Cambridge Satchels?

Berry's Dada: Hon, I am not surprised.

Me: Bakit, how many times do you click on it a day?

LOL! Well, it's another weekend, and as usual, Dada was rocking another blog worthy outfit. We had just come from a fun, leisurely brunch at P.S. Cafe with our friends Tim & Sunny who had also just moved to Singapore from NY. Sunny (who grew up in Mexico until she moved to Paris to study at Le Cordon Bleu) & I are on a quest for authentic Mexican food here in Singapore (which is sorely lacking), and we both miss La Esquina and Chipotle terribly. Sigh.

Anyhoo, when we got home, I told Dada, "Let's take another photo for a post!". 

Of course, he gamely posed for the camera, and downloaded the photos right away. He even titled the album "MFO Photoshoot". Here's Dada with his seaside prep look - all that is missing is the boat!

Berry, who had just awakened from her nap, was not in the mood to pose, but wanted to be with Dada...

She then ambled over to the play area and asked me to join her. After bouncing around a bit on this 4-seater bouncer...

She wanted me to peek into this "speaker" so that we could see each other from both sides. Turns out I was tricked!

As I peered into the opening, she was watching me from above! Look at that naughty smile!

Now, she's awake and ready for more mischief! Hahaha!

Meanwhile, here's what I wore: a 3 year old shirt dress (I love the pockets!) from H&M, tassled moccasins from Renegade Folk, and bangles from Vita Fede and Alexis Bittar. 

Blast From the Past

top: Bimba & Lola, jeans: J Brand Lovestory, bangles: Alexis Bittar & Fenton/Fallon, belt: J.Crew, 

bag: Mulberry Alexa, wedges: Chloé

Good thing the 70s are back with a vengeance. I am finding myself reviving stuff from the recesses of my closet, not that it's deep. Got these J Brand Lovestory jeans from eLuxury back in 2006. eLuxury has since been replaced by Nowness.com.

These J Brands are skinny on the thighs and flare down once they hit the knee. They're the most perfect flares I've ever had, and it's a shame I hardly get to wear them because I don't really wear heels or wedges in my daily life.

Except this day, when my friend Frances passed by for us at our apartment for our brunch with the kiddos. Which meant we didn't have to walk far, or take the bus or subway. So, I took my wedges out for a spin , and after three long years, they again saw the light of day.
