IMG_8866

i wore it to 1 or 8 Faction’s Soft Launch at Mimolette, seen here with Bryan from RAZORTV who was the official media partner for the night!

i like wearing the blazer with sleeves folded up for a less formal look, this also forms a “satin cuff”. the lapels are also satin, very chic indeed! this piece is very versatile, so you can wear it as you would wear a blazer to work, and then roll up the sleeves for a good night of partying after hours!

great when paired with a pair of denim shorts and a simple tank top too!

IMG_8884

the dress i paired it with is from CONVERSATIONPCS one of our apparel sponsors for the night!

this blazer has been spotted on korean taiwanese celebrities!

oops. messed up. thanks passer for correcting me! : )

the whole day, my screen looked something like this…

but i finally picked a couple of favourites… we definitely up-ed the attitude in this shoot!

but before i proceed, please note :

1. all the clothes you see will be available for sale on THE CLOSET LOVER. (unless otherwise stated)

2. i don’t own TCL, i’m just the model! :D

_MG_2168

i am so so in love with this shot!

i don’t know, there’s just something about it that i can’t quite figure out….

_MG_2291 _MG_2344

we tried some crazy hair-dos!

the gaga bow and well, the other one ben calls it Mulan. >_<

_MG_2391 _MG_2377

now, who says you can’t wear a blazer with shorts?

ps : the blazer is for sale, i will post details soon. this one is not from TCL.

_MG_2166

this one i like too…

used the cream flower hair clip as a brooch! will be up for sale soon!

_MG_2192

haha this one is totally rockin’ my socks!

i used the zipper rose headband as a wrist accessory, can’t quite call it a bracelet can i?

okay, that’s quite enough sneaks for now. i have to go back to being busy…

“i spy money”

IMG_8775IMG_8778

ben can’t get over his latest muse…

the Sennheiser HD 25s

seriously, i don’t remember spending $360 on just one thing. other than my macbook pro which was $3k LOL.

IMG_8782IMG_8783

you know how this whole blazer thing is just so hot right now? i finally pulled out one of my old favourites! my floral blazer that i got years ago… i was actually contemplating selling it. not anymore! :P

IMG_8787

anyhoos! dinner at MAD JACK’S!

the crazy chix was yummy but a tad dry, the fish and chips were awesome! the batter was perfect and the fish wasn’t fishy at all! you know what i mean!

IMG_8789

the ice cream was good but i didn’t quite like the cake. it tasted a little funny… :S

but a good meal nonetheless!

oh gosh time to run again! meeting with the 1 or 8 boys, packing and final preps for friday’s event! tooodles everyone!

♥ xoxo ♥

stuff on my bed.

IMG_8644

hahaha! my new “playthings!”

IMG_8638

don’t you think they look quite alike? hahahaha!

ps : that’s tiny. he vibrates :P

xoxo

what happens when fatigue gets the best of you?

IMG_8719IMG_8727IMG_8741IMG_8695

…i know for sure it makes me totally looney

to the point that i made those geek specs with perler beads… yes, the pacman ring, the ninja necklace, the panda pin… all these will be for sale. SOON.

i’m contemplating using them for TCL’s shoot later today… Neng tells me we have new lights in the studio. 7 in total now. sauna ahead…

nighty night people.

i have a mad week ahead and the clock is ticking; and we’re fast running out of time.

♥ xoxo ♥

“Why are you so busy, Jeanine?”

WARNING : HIGH PHOTO CONTENT!

IMG_8509graphicpen

last week was seriously, INSANE! i can’t even remember what i actually did cos the entire week just flew by… so, let me do abit of a recap before i totally lose track of everything… i know someone invaded my room on wednesday…

IMG_8494IMG_8485

so who’s guilty? CHERYL TAY!

she suddenly called to ask if i was home and said she wanted to come over cos she was bored. in the end my room got “raided” lol.

left : that’s her (we were at a traffic stop) with the two rings i customised for her… one that says “i’m manja” and the other one that says “sayang me?”

right : familiar? my handmade peony flower clips… she was trying to convince me to wear it out that day. didn’t happen.

oh and this is her sister’s ring. Sabrina i want photos!

IMG_8497

what to do? i do customisations, no questions asked. you’ll get what you ask for! haha!

ohwell, moving on! as i was saying… i spent practically the entire week designing stickers for print, confirming sponsors, media partner (RAZOR TV), meeting with our sponsors and i’m basically going nuts… and i had a last minute interview request, and it was hard to say no cos she’s a long time “follower”. since i started “theweekenddesigner” yearsssss ago!

come to think of it, we were “camping” at starbucks for like… 4 hours? at least? showed the boys what i came up with to see if it was feasible… and it was YES all around!

IMG_8527

“DO OR DIE”

IMG_8513IMG_8518

Monkey King owning the 1 or 8 logo stud! it just looks better on him than ben? (oops)

IMG_8525

george tried it too… i’m still trying to figure out who he looks like in the photo and pose…

and many many thanks to MASSIVE OUTFIT, without them, we wouldn’t have these to giveaway during the launch on Friday!

IMG_8532

IMG_8519

hahaha this is Keng How by the way, not like you’d recognise him here. I promised to pixelate his face if he let me take this photo… i keep my promises! and he helped us with our stickers too! excited much!

IMG_8515

it’s pretty satisfying to see something you design getting printed. :)

ps : i’m including my new stickers when sending out your purchases!

okay, i can’t remember specifically what else i did until the weekend… so skip skip skip.

on friday i started working on the pins…

IMG_8587

and believe it or not, i just completed all these today. (well technically yesterday – saturday)

1or8pins

20 “DO OR DIE” pins, and 6 of the 1 or 8 logo earstuds.

every single piece was hand drawn, hand cut, shrunk, you get the picture. after all that, you’d think i’d be dead beat and just wanna crash, right?

WRONG.

i just made a whole load of perler bead stuff, and i am so so so loving this one!

pacmanring-purple

i don’t think there is a purple pacman character… but it’s just soooo adorable! (and super-sized! it’s actually pretty small already!)

oh well, that’s just one of the many new pieces i have in store. i made pandas and ninjas too! hopefully i have time to update in the day before i run out again. okay, it’s 330am and it’s pouring cats and dogs, about half an hour ago i saw lightning come into my room! sheeeesh!

anyway, here’s a last photo of ben. haha! goodnight ya’ll! :)

if you’re looking for great deals on great quality apparel, the search ends here… you’re reading it here first cos this section was just “launched” last night.

This new section within MASSIVE OUTFIT promises great buys that are worth every cent…

and for starters, i think this STASH HOUSE tee is just uber cute!

Stash-House-Front

and guys, if you appreciate a good pair of jeans, i’d highly recommend you check out the Helmut Lang Distressed Skinny.

Such a bargain for a pair of Helmut Lang jeans for SGD$300 doesn’t come by everyday, you know.

PAGE 93

cleo

yup, that’s me. no doubt about it…. even if the makeup makes me look alot unlike me, that jacket is definitely jeanine’s! haha!

IMG_8535

hahaha! the title is pretty amusing…

and if you’re not convinced how thick the makeup was….

IMG_8539

there.

IMG_8536

go grab your copy of the september issue of CLEO to read the full story! and see what Michelle, Yuen Mei and I think of Daniel! :)

♥ xoxo ♥

behind the scenes!

IMG_5875

okay here are photos from the photoshoot i did last month!

the September issue is out so i guess we can post photos more freely… we were told not to publish photos until the story was published, and it has been so here are the photos! I myself haven’t gotten hold of the september issue, but from what i’ve heard… it still looks like me, just with a whole lot more makeup piled on… I have photos to prove it.

top photo : that’s all of us basically… photographer, michelle, me, and yuen mei (daniel’s supposed cyber-stalkers)

IMG_5867

that’s denise, she did our interviews!

(i look so tinyyyy)

IMG_5874

this was after i got like 50% of the makeup off my face…

photographer’s tip?

if you’re taking a photo of yourself, you have to turn the camera upside down… it gives you better control! no kidding! that’s what he said!

IMG_5871note

it was actually daniel’s birthday on the day of the shoot, we didn’t get to see him in person, but we did leave him a birthday note telling him we wouldn’t date him. haha! now i wonder if kamei actually gave it to him…

IMG_5866

that’s about all, some photos are just duplicates and we didn’t really take very many photos while we were shooting… and would you believe, they didn’t want me to take off the jacket cos.. well.. they said im too skinny!

trust me, you’ll never catch me with this much make up on again… not in a million yearssss! (i hope)

gosh, i’m so gonna pick up the september issue the moment i step out of the house later in the day… and then i’ll take a photo and update this okay? busy busy day ahead! i have orders to mail out and errands to run… and i just promised grace she could interview me for a school project. somewhere in between i have to pick up some stuff from mabel.  and the highlight of the entire day would be the meeting with…

they’ve got really awesome apparel for guys, so please pop in! (did i mention quite alot of stuff is on sale right now?)

that said… if i don’t reply your emails today, please bear with me okay?

fruity monday!

i was roaming in Watsons yesterday and this particular skincare range really caught my eye! So i googled it when i got home…

Picture 10Picture 1

and OMG! STRAWBERRY MASK!

so that’s the one that was sold out! :(

i had to talk myself out of buying a whole load of them on impulse cos the packaging is oh so cute, and the prices are pretty affordable too. $9.90 for a tube of mask, that’s okay, right?

meanwhile i can’t wait for my order from Mario Badescu to reach Audrey in LA. she’s gonna send it to me along with a whole lot of other stuff that i wanted. Here’s what i ordered from Mario!

1. acne repair kit
