midweek!

Today's outfit : a babyblue ASOS cardigan with huge blings around the lapel, 
with the steadily hotter days, i think it makes sense to wear  mid-sleeved cardis :) 
Layered it over a ruffled bib top(oops, wore that ytd as a layering piece as well!) with skinnies and met the girls for dinner.

We started our evening sitting pretty at TWG ( outside Miu Miu) and had some tea and of course, being a dessert softie,
 I could not resist ordering a slice of choc fondant cake served with tea ice cream.
The creme brulee P had was much better though :)



I've been meaning to drag G into Valentino's, & we did just that today:)
we wanted to check out their RTW collection and see if there was a dress suitable for a wedding,
always had the fantasy of a  red Valentino gown being the perfect dress for a wedding dinner but that was a really long time ago when i felt everything had to be done in a certain way.

They had some really lovely pastel lace tops and dresses, it was so pretty and twinkly :) 
there is always something about the lace used at Valentino's

( if anyone is interested at all) a red Valentino gown wld cost approx $12grand , wowwee.


 bow shoes!
green, pink, red, lavender, lacey ones.. aren't they cute? the heels were a little low too, and the patent colours kinda remind me of Prada?
 Prada does them so well :)
the studded ones were available in pastel shades as well..gosh
i love studs and if i have a choice, the studs i'll be wearing at 30ish wld be from valentino's
& no other. :)

after browsing at Valentino's, we headed upstairs for dinner at Paradise Dynasty.

 Our queue number was #53 and it was our first time having rainbow xiao long bao!
p had the cheesey + sze chuan,
i had the ginseng + crab roe,
and g had the truffle + foie gras.
we each got to try 2 flavours and after deciding which was the best-tasting one, 
we would order another basket  and the winning flavours were...
foie gras & the original haha!

la mian in pork bone soup was really yummy too, think i'll head back soon for seconds!

Anyway, back to pretty bow shoes :)
i really like carven, especially their 2011 collection
2012's collection looks like a mix of missoni and miu miu to me so im skipping that.

 the above shirtdress -smooched- and will arrive soon!
below are some pics from carven's spring 2011







gotta love those whimsical white and black shoes

& for this year, they kept the velvet bows and dipped the front and back in fluro colours.
i'm toying with the idea of some shoes-DIY since i have quite a bit of time till the next launch:)
