Mostly OOTDs + Some Happenings

If you are following me on Instagram, you should be able to see some of my OOTDs. I don't do it on a daily basis, but whenever I feel like its a fresh coordinate or whenever I'm wearing a new piece, I'll do an OOTD.

So anyway, here are just the few OOTDs I have posted on IG over the past few months...

Wore this really elegant yet sexy dress with sheer details from Dressing Paula to Maggie's wedding and it really looks like I was standing on a red carpet isn't it? :p Clutch from Aldo, heels from Zara, earrings from Forever 21 and necklace from a bazaar.

Maggie's wedding was although a typical Chinese banquet, was quite an interesting one with a Doraemon theme, since she is an avid Daraemon fan.

Giant Poster backdrop and Dorayaki were just some of the highlights at the wedding.

Maggie was my classmates back then at The Voice Academy when we were both taking hosting courses with Karen also in the class. So the wedding was a great opportunity to catch up with our fellow classmates and teacher.

Some photos taken with old friends at the wedding!

Here's the next OOTD...

Got into the hang of long/maxi dresses ever since finding one for our wedding, and this black with gold polka dots maxi from Tee Too was the first casual one to join my wardrobe. Belt was an old one don't know from where, bag from Gucci (ah, Christmas gift from Deardo Wong yo~!) and old wedges from Charles & Keith.

This is me in a long sleeve (which is very rare) ombre effect top from i-Perfect, shorts from Zara and cute pastel purple and white show from Top Town Shoe and Gucci bag, as usual.

Also very rare that I wear long pants but I really couldn't resist this really nice patterned pants from Zara! I wore it with my old Cotton On peplum top, Charles & Keith wedges, Gucci bag and an old necklace.  

I saw this lovely jock-strap back dress in many online shops but I got mine from Kei Mag. It's proven that I recently just have a thing for details at the back! Heels from Zara, necklace from Promod, Gucci bag and an old headband. 

I was at Delicious for a hi-tea with Karen. Bought the Groupon deal to pamper ourselves with a relaxing Sunday hi-tea. Environment at Dua Residence was not bad despite the place looking a bit old but personally think the hi-tea is overrated. We ordered extra stuff though... Boy we must have been very hungry! :p

I called it us acting as 'tai tai' for a day! :p

Okay, enough of food commercial break...

Here I was wearing a really cool and unique dress from F Block with an old belt, Charles & Keith wedges, Gucci Bag and earrings from Forever 21. Check out the details on the dress cos they are the reason I actually bought the dress! 

And my latest addition to my maxi collection is this sweet yellow maxi from Mimosa Closet! Very girly and very Spring! I paired it with my H&M belt, sandals from Principle by Debenhams, Gucci bag and Diva headband. 

And then, I realised I didn't post anything about CNY this year except for our syok-sendiri fashion shoot!
Like it or not, it did feel weird during CNY as someone's wife and daughter-in-law. Reunion dinner with a different group of people with entirely different-looking dishes on the dining table was quite a sad experience but yea I guess a lot of you girls or women out there understand that it's just part of life. In fact we are actually quite lucky because we are from the same hometown! I can't imagine how is it like for couples who come from different parts of the country! :S

A rather quiet and small CNY reunion dinner this year.

I should say I was lucky enough that Deardo was open enough to bring me home for short gatherings with my family almost every night. So I still get to eat some of my favourite home-cooked from Mamo and Ah Ma! :) I was also sleeping with my sisters for about two nights and had great fun laughing to sleep! LOL!!!

Mamo's Red Wine soup is simply unbeatable. Period.

The craziest and funniest thing in this photo of us on bed together was that this photo was taken by our Papo! 

We also gave out Ang Pows for the first time as a married couple. Extra money spent but you know what, I had extra fun giving out Ang Pows! Forcing the kids in my family to say nice wishes to us before getting their red packets was super fun! Hahahaha... Love that session really! :p

Uncle Deardo preparing to give out some red packets!

I don't remember why all these photos came, I think it was totally Deardo's idea..

See, I think everyone had fun at the Ang Pows session! Haha! 

And Lil' Jolie getting her Ang Pow too from 'Au Mou'...

Finally, had our annual CNY gathering this time around at McDonalds just because we wanted to escape the crazy crowd in town! Only 4 of us made it this year and once again I think as the only girl there that day, I owe a lot to Deardo who have given me a lot of freedom during CNY because some other girls were just busy with their in-laws! :)

And we found out we were too old to have good selfie skills... LOL!

So to my dearest Lao Gong, thank you very much! I know we have love each other more since we got married and I hope this will continue to grow stronger! YOU KNOW I LUP YA~! *wink~*

Us during CNY this year! :D

More CNY photos here!

That's all for now, ciao~!

CNY 2014: The Fashion & Other Crazy Photos...

WARNING: THIS IS AN EXTREMELY PHOTO-HEAVY POST!!!

Even so, I think some of you who have been friends of mine or long-time readers of my blog are actually eagerly waiting for this entry on our family's tradition of CNY photo-shooting. And they are, in fact, truly D.I.Y yet much better, natural and funnier than those taken in the studio! :)

Anyway, I shall start with the OOTDs since they might be the least interesting few photos of this entry...

CNY Day 1:  Pink Cheongsam Flare Dress from mgplabel.com, nude pink pumps from Payless, bag from Gucci.
The dress was a very last minute purchase for CNY but was the most versatile Cheongsam-looking dress I've bought this year. The higher waistline makes me look a bit slimmer, isn't it? And I love the pumps a lot too. I like to call them my Kate Middleton's pumps! :p

CNY Day 2: Pink Floral Dress from Glam Stage, black heels from H&M, leopard print envelope clutch from Aldo and necklace from Diva.
Bought the dress probably half a year ago and Deardo was the one who really loves it and demanded that I must wear this during CNY! I especially love how vintage yet bright the dress is! :)

CNY Day 2 (night): Pink top from Padini, shorts from Zara, same black heels from H&M, same clutch from Aldo and my very old birdcage necklace possibly from Diva.
Changed into a casual look for a family dinner at home and it was simple and chic!

CNY Day 3: Colour-blocking Bodycon Dress from Doublewoot, Violet heels from Aldo, same clutch from Aldo and necklace from Lovisa. 
Looking extremely swollen here I think because had to wake up earlier for church... Anyway, this is an old dress but I really love the colour-contrasting of it. Also wanted a change from the usual flare dresses and red/pink on CNY so I picked this one to wear!

CNY Day 3 (night): Purple Lace Dress from Doublewoot, same black heels from H&M. 
Super love the lace details of the dress!!!

My family also had some OOTDs to show you!!!

Although I don't where they got their clothes from... LOL!

My super model sisters...

I know right, we all were super red and pink!!!

And now, for some of our random photos...

Tan sisters saying hi~! 

The Beatles crossing the zebra lines? Where are the zebra lines???

I don't know why...

Then you will see a series of my 'o' mouth...

'O' mouth no.2 as Shirlexia Monroe was in the making...

'O' mouth no.3 here to make this cute picture!

'O' again although I think I was trying to look fierce like ROAR~~~!

Look at the turquoise heels!!!

4e and Uncle Mike willingly volunteered for these okay! 

And now with Adrian, we all had to act cute! 

The magazine-cover wannabe~!

All the singles and non-singles ladies in the family!

Cousins!!!

Joining Ducum and her friends for some cute photos! 

Infernal Affairs movie poster, the parody! 

Totally ran out of idea already on how to pose...

Another remake of Infernal Affairs poster! 

See, I told you we were bored and don't know how to pose anymore!

This is suppose to show you the different Kung Fu styles, get it get it???

Our gang of people taking these crazy photos are definitely getting bigger every year yaw!!!
And I just realised although I've missed the first day of photo-taking (was with the in-laws), we took way too many photos after that! It's like I've missed the fun of the first day now have to take super a lot to make it back! LOL!!!

Alright guys, DRUMROLL PLEASE... FOR THE TAN FAMILY PHOTOS 2014!!! 

The one that is too serious.

The one that is still a tad too serious.

The one that is so cute of Papo! :)

The one that obviously the parent are having more fun than the children! LOL!

The one that should be able to make it to a fashion billboard ad.

The one that even Papo and Mamo were trying to act cool and sexay~!

The one that shows how cute and lovely our parent are! Love them!!!

So apart from magazine-like covers and all, this time we attempted something quite different...

Since last year we attempted a movie poster, this year we did a TVB drama poster, like the super old school ones...

Note the different directions we were looking at and how serious we look like, just like in the poster! Zero smile!

Boy I think we nailed it, like kaw kaw~!!! Psst... Truth is, we took at least 10 photos to get this nicest one! :p

Now, here comes the fun part. Jan Yi's camera has this 10 quick shots function and just for the fun of it, we kids had a try and the photos turned out to be super hilarious!!!

And for all you know, the adults also wanted to have some fun!!!

Seriously, still couldn't believe they actually did this.... Look at Papo!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA...

And then, let's have one together-gether lar!!!

Bunch of 'siao cha bo' and 'siao da bo'!!! 
But then again, it takes some really awesome and sporting people in a family to do these insanely funny stunts, so all I could say is, I'm so proud of them all! Hahahaha!!! :D

Well, I hope the Tan and Teh families didn't disappoint you this year around and we'll see you next year! :D
