Random headshot

Random headshot of myself that I found in the camera.
Attempted to curl my hair that night, therefore must do the traditional headshot.
My attempt to revive my blog as a form of self entertainment seems a little meh at the moment.

I'm looking forward to the launch of the website.
Just gave the design team the go-ahead to codify the design for the shop's website!

Since i'm on the subject of the shop... might as well start talking about it.

SCRAPED the idea of using Buttonsandbow because it was too much of a mouthful to remember/recite/spell. Figured that it was also too act cute, as what seemed to work when one was 18 years old, doesn't quite work when one is 28.
LOL!

Instead, I decided on BOWTIQUE - as a form of word play, and partly also because of my infamous craze over the red bow-ed kitty kat that i am still obsessing over at the moment.

What!
It's catchy, easy to remember, and still maintained that 10% of my quirky-ness in it.

Besides bowtique came to me like "wham" in 2 seconds while I was out shopping, and I spent the next 5 mins doing my decision dissonance between the former name, and the new one that just came to me.

I later spent the next 5 mins bbm/texting/whatsapping friends to ask them for their preference, and bowtique it was!

Ta daaa!

Coming up with the logo - I had to angst alot.
I was unsatisfied with the simple one I came up with, and nearly went blind from the suggested logos I got from the design team.

I finally settled on myself made logo in my furtile attempt to save cost - as the ones the team came up with really did not impress the socks off my toes. Blah!

Look!  Like it or not, this IS my official logo. *smirk*

I am in the midst of angsting over my name card design, of which - i'm still blank on ideas, or perhaps lazy to start on it..

I realize that I angst alot lately, from logo design, website design and now namecard design.

It was like, I could find a thousand reasons to emo over the smallest thing that displeased my expectations. 

Driving myself nuts in the process. 

Talking to the design team made me super emo and upset at times.

I could not understand why the fella simple cannot understand my lingo (I'm darn sure their accounts exec is not an art/design trained person), and many ideas and instructions was lost in translation to their house designer.

I solved that, by making multiple trips to the office, just so that EVERYONE was on the same page as I am with regards to my ideas and demands.

To make things worst, i'm quite the picky Daphne, when it comes to details, it had to be the way I wanted it.

I spent weeks angsting over the right shade of red they had to use, and how the red color applied is never consistent. ARghhh!

sounds like a minor issue to many, but a major eyesore to me.

I know i'm quite the brat/perfectionist/nit picker when I actually get serious about something.

Grumbles aside, 

www.bowtique.com.sg is currently under construction, but shopping is made available via facebook! 

Just click HERE or BOWTIQUE to start shopping.

I've been faithfully loading up new products almost everyday, and when the site is launch ready, I promise everything in collection uno would be up by then. *beams*

I'll love it if you could also like the Bowtique page, just so you could receive future updates.

My new "Tron" dress

Went shopping the other day, and I bought myself a new frock!

I totally ♥ the volume of the dress panel, even though it was very big for me.

Had to throw in a sash to give myself the illusion of a waist.

Yeah, it's a crappy picture taken by the Blackberry Bold's camera, and my room is in a Warzone Mess!

I decided to wipe away the entire background picture, just so that you'll be able to focus on my new dress top, rather than the state of my bedroom.

LOL!

I dressed up and wore the outfit to Zouk's Mambo Jumbo!
It's Zouk's 20th anniversary event week, and thus DJ Aldrin (after god knows how many years it has been...) did a guest appearance for the night.
Listening to all that songs that he played, I'd say that I've totally felt as if I was 18 again!
Woots!

It's been a looooong while since I've felt so happy listening to old school music,
Lo and behold, a decade has passed.
Sigh...

Back to my nice frock - the guys all it my Tron (inspired) outfit, and were lamenting about my  choice of pairing it with Skinny jeans instead of just wearing it with say, just my panties!
it's really quite a WTH suggestion!

I reckon pairing it with shorts would provide a blinding effect for all, let's not talk about panties.
Hurhurhur...

Lovely night nevertheless, and I danced until my back died. :(

I went back for more fun the next night, for Armin Van Buren.
The place was packed like tuna flakes!
We went in, took us 20mins to squeeze about - I could barely get enough oxygen to breathe, so let's not even talk about dancing to House music.

As a consolation, the party troop checked-in on their phone apps - to claim their mayorship to the hotdog stand/ zouk's toilet or whatever else they had in mind.
We also ditched the idea of dancing, in favour for Swensen's Earthquake icecream.

I swear I was extremely overdressed for a round of icecream. Tsk!

Its a fun dressed up week, but have to admit that age IS creeping up on me, whether I like it or not.

Over thinking.

I am practically on the verge of going nuts.
My mind is practically running overtime for the past week, and it really isn't healthy.
I'm either lying in bed with a million thoughts running back and forth, or sleep gets disrupted.

I'm moody , grumpy and getting upset unnecessarily, and bordering on paranoia.
Right now, im extremely upset because I cant sleep - properly, like how I'd usually do.


I wish my brains could just switch off like a flip. RIGHT NOW
--

Doesn't help that the server for the shop is down for maintenance, and all the pictures that i've photoshopped cannot be loaded into the shop program.
I've only managed to load up 3 new products tonight.
The 4th/5th item for tonight was rejected, and I've got to redo it all over again - product descriptions and measurements.

Grrrrr..
8 is a bad bad day for technology - so i've just learnt.

Hello kitty Red Bow

It's been quite awhile, and I realized that I am still not gotten off my Hello Kitty in red bow phase yet. 

On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being nope , and 10 being a whoppee! ,
I will go along with an 8.5 with my red kitty bow movement.

Too bad, cutesy days isn't going to tide over..YET.

I am still going gaga over bows, Red Bows to be exact.

I just made myself a satin red bow for my personal stash, and just when I thought I should be mightily pleased with my latest creation, the picture of the red poofy bow appeared.
Those poofy bow would triumph mine (satin boring ones) anytime. :(

So I shall attempt to make one for myself!  
I'll need to go fabric shopping soon, and stock up on some stuffings to poofi-fy the bow.

Still on the topic of red bow, I would reckon that the Red Bow Kitty Camera is still top of my WANT list!

Rwarrr! I want!

It's not like I will know what to do with it, when I've finally gotten about to getting this for myself, 

I figured that it'll be super cute to bring along for a holiday, and I could use my Real camera to snap a picture of myself using the toy kitty camera (quit rolling your eyes)

It'll be how awesome!

Problem is...HEC030N is no longer for sale :(
*meow*
