Fridays' Interiors

When I saw these photos off Home & Decor, I honestly couldn't believe that this little slice of heaven, is found in Singapore! Again, there are lots of wood, timbre accents used here, but I love how the home owner had designed his home, in relation to the lush greenery surrounding this space. The magazine had called this space, "lounge-like", and I couldn't agree more. With the careful choice of furnitures, ornaments and landscaping, the integrity of this home and its environment couldn't be more perfect.

Apologies for the lack of posts. The reason/excuse(?) is perfectly legit, as I'm back in Singapore. Oh, home sweet home. Decided to go back for a visit as it was mid semester break; and I thought, heck, I might as well skip one week of school to make full use of my visit. It was definitely one of the best decisions I've made. I've missed everyone terribly! My family, my relative, my friends; (oh, the look on their faces when I popped out of nowhere to surprise them!), and of course, my darling Kobe. 

I've definitely shopped to my heart's content, satisfied all my gastronomic cravings; and right now, I'm in the midst of rushing for a report that is due this coming Monday. Bah, hambug. At least I'm halfway through.

Most of my pictures are in my digital camera; which I can't upload, for the very fact that Sony's SD card doesn't fit with my mac. (Mental note to get the card reader); Still, I'm thankful for my Brother's Canon (and his skills!) which I've definitely missed too;p Shall use this weekend, to find a remotely pretty location and shoot till we drop (that's definitely in the works). But for now. A shot of my haul from this trip (?) Ahh, I've definitely missed shopping back home.

And so, the mindless part of this post; one crazy afternoon; just as I was getting ready to go out to meet the girls; I've decided to orchestrate a mini, crazy blogger shoot. Cajoled Jason to bring his camera; went ahead and put on my highest pair of wedges, leashed Kobe, and we make a funny trio, walking down the street in the sweltering heat. It was no mean feat, walking an excitable dog with 4 inch heels on; but it was good fun; one of those memories to keep(:

Love, Alexis.

ALEXIS magazine is one of the rare publications around; that is truly, conceived in Singapore. Having said that, it is also, definitely, one of the best thing that has happened in the local fashion scene in a long long time. It is no coincidence that NYLON would be launched in Singapore soon too; and when that happens, it will be interesting to see how both magazines pit or work with each other because their concept is so similar; (although Alexis does not focus on music!)

Launched approximately four/five months ago; it is gathering a strong following in Singapore; thanks to their coverage of fashion and lifestyle which veer from what you usually see in other magazines around. No thanks to Xavier's girlfriend, Raine, who is visiting from Singapore; I've managed to lay my hands on a copy of ALEXIS! And it is just like what everyone is raving about; it is fantastic! 

Though I have a paper looming on Saturday; I know I have to get some scans up on the blog. I truly love their editorials; not just for the models, or the clothes; but more of the photography, location and concept that is behind the entire shoot. Although I'm not in Singapore at the moment; I'm also excited that majority of their stuff featured are not only gorgeous; but surprisingly affordable too! (No crazy $500 shirts or $1000 bags featured here)- And being someone who is crazily in love with the idea of gorgeous interior design; I love the Hidden Fantasy spread, which is shot by my incredibly talented friend, Jeslin, whom you may have seen here. And of course, how can I forget to mention the cute and fun illustrations which the uber talented Emilia Chong had done for the beauty spread?

Needless to say, like legions of fans out there; I can't wait for Vol. 005 of ALEXIS.
