I Wish You Hic’Cups!
It has been a fulfilling week, running errands and having sleepless nights busy with work.
I know I sound a little sadistic saying that. I’m crazy like that.
A and I met up with a programmer to discuss how we can improve The Tiramisu Hero‘s website.
Wish things could happen more quickly! I want a prettier website for our tiramisu! Heh.
It was dressed down Monday but I always loved the whole long tee + leggings getup.
C-O-M-F-Y-!
Sorry ah. Showed you a bit of my thunder thighs in the picture below. Hahahaha!

It was QQ’s birthday so we hopped down to Loof to meet the birthday girl.
She looks not a day older than 22, doesn’t she?
Can’t believe she is already xx! (女人的年龄是秘密)
A looks fucking chio here. LOL!
My favourite girl and I.
Note to self: Need to trim eyebrows.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY QQ! ♥
– – –
A and I woke up bright and early the following day because it’s a BIG day for The Tiramisu Hero!
It is the first day Sir Antonio move into hic’Cup at 100am mall at Amara Hotel!
This is Sir Antonio in his draw-me-like-one-of-your-french-girls pose. Hahaha!
hic’Cup is a concept cafe where they serve both sweet and savoury crepes, as well as a whole range of interesting drinks.
Don’t expect it to be the typical coffee-or-tea kind of cafe!
I love their Asian Soup, which is better known as Cheng Tng to most of us.
I must make it a point to try their other fruity mixes the next time I’m there too! AND THE CREPES TOO!
They serve their drinks in jars like that. So cute right?
It’s near one of the main entrances of the mall so it’s really quite hard to miss!
The two mascots are really cute too! Sir Antonio’s new friends! Heh!
That’s us! Hahahaha. Small but mighty! :p
We’ll be serving our bestseller MommaHero here!
On top of that, this will also be the only distributor so far carrying our MiniHero cupcakes!
Stenciling service will also be made available here at hic’Cup!
If you are clueless about what I’m yakking on and on about,
The Tiramisu Hero is a tiramisu specialty store A and I started together some 5 months back.
We operate online and currently we have 2 distributors.
Here are their locations. (Please pardon me for the advert haha!)
I also brought A to Shunji Matsuo @ 313 to get our hair trimmed.
My hair is getting so thick at the top and is in urgent need of some loving from my stylist Caely.
I decided to just get a quick trim.
Wanna keep my hair long (by the way, I’ve been saying I wanna keep my hair long since I was 18) so wanna try to stop cutting so much.
Hee!
And yay! The fringe is much lighter now. Phew!
Oh yes. I brought my boots out for another walk too.
They are from Steve Madden as I’ve previously mentioned.
There’s a sale going on now! Time to shop! :B
– – –
I also love my new top from Runway Bandits!
Maybe you can’t see it clearly from the pictures here but it’s this gorgeous white sleeveless vest.
Check out their website for more designs! They don’t get 17k LIKES on Facebook for no reason ok!
Special thanks to Swee for throwing in the scarf too! LOVE IT!
I made a turban with that! Hahahaha.
By the way, let me know if you wanna know how to do the turban (or other designs you can do with a scarf)
and I’d be glad to do a tutorial on it!
SOOO glad I finally got my brows trimmed! :p
And shoutout to Swee, I love the scarf!
I’m super thrilled about the Laneway Festival happening this Saturday at Gardens By The Bay!
Thanks to FIJI Water, I’ll be catching Bat For Lashes, Gotye, Kimbra, Kings of Convenience
and many other bands and solo acts this weekend!
A has been going on and on about Kings of Convenience since I met her,
so glad I’ll finally be able to catch them live (with A!) real soon!
Please let the weather be nice and cool this Saturday!!
If you are also interested in Laneway Festival Singapore, you can read up more about it here.
Tickets start from $145 and it’s happening 12pm onwards this Sat at The Meadow, Gardens By The Bay.

It’s the weekend again!
Not like it makes too much of a difference for me because weekends are as crazy as weekdays,
BUT weekends are always happier days because it means all my friends will not be working
and everyone around me is in a better mood. Heh!
A and I checked out our second distributor earlier this week!
It has really been quite a ride for the both of us since The Tiramisu Hero started.
Honestly, this is almost like a make-or-break thing for me.
I have always been quite a pessimistic person, always thinking about
the “what ifs” and contingency plans in case things fail.
But A has done a lot teaching me to always look at the bright side of things and think good thoughts.
I’ve been daydreaming quite a lot about the big plans and the good times ahead since I met her.
I guess it’s a good thing ya?
Our little humble The Tiramisu Hero has been around for about 5 and a half months now.
From having our company registered, getting our licensed kitchen, our first magazine feature,
securing our first distributor at Haji Lane till now,
I can see that we are gradually fulfilling our dreams, slowly but surely.
It has been a very exhausting 5 months for us.
Since the day we started this venture, we have hardly had the time for quality time together (and quality sleep)!
But we have learnt so much together and I feel really blessed that things are working out alright so far.
Just this week, we have just secured out second distributor.
I think we both did a little happy dance in our heads the moment the agreement was signed.
And with a new distributor, it means more work for us!
We spent a lot of time preparing the decorative materials we need for the shop, prepare the agreements, etc.
Here are some new doodles I did!
I think A and I make a great team – I draw the doodles and she would digitalize them and compose them into what you see.
She deserves a BIG BIG BIG BIG GOLD STAR! 😀
And here it is – our new “Draw Me Like One Of Your French Girls” Sir Antonio decal in the shop!
I feel like a proud mother.
I cannot imagine the exhilaration and sense of achievement I would get if I were to own my first store one day.
I might just break down in tears and laugh hysterically at the same time! Hahaha.
For everyone who works in Tanjong Pagar area and loves tiramisu, good news for you!
The Tiramisu Hero will now be available for sales at the new mall 100am located at Amara Hotel.
It would be in this cute little concept cafe called hic’Cup (opposite Starbucks).
Do drop by and grab your little pick-me-up if you need one!
Will show you guys around the cafe when I get more pictures of the cafe! 🙂
Oh I took some vain outfit shots when we were doing our recee at the shop though. Hahaha!
I think A doesn’t understand why I am so vain.
And more good news!
Another Europe trip is in the pipeline!
This time round, we will be going to Paris (erm.. again), London and Amsterdam!
It would also be a double-couple trip out with Sinsin and her beau LTK!
Happening in April and I can’t wait for it any longer.
A and I sure deserve a good break and we have decided to make this our first company trip.
Flight and accommodation courtesy of Sir Antonio!
“Thank you Boss!”

I also attended Kiehl’s Blogger Event for their AMAZING Midnight Recovery Concentrate!
But before that, outfit pictures. Hurhur.
I’m wearing this super comfortable pullover from Runway Bandits!
I LOVE layering like that!
The Kiehl’s event was held at their office in Winsland House.
It was just a small cosy affair but the girls at Kiehl’s did a great job with hosting the event!
I also had a lot of fun meeting and catching up with my friends!
I got presents from Kiel’s too!
I’m already using the Midnight Recovery Concentrate currently and I love it SO much.
So happy I got another bottle, can last me a couple more months. Hahaha!
I haven’t tried the eye cream though.
Will try it real soon. I’m sure it’s gonna be as awesome as the concentrate! 😀
That’s my seat in the room, right next to Bea and Valerie!
Took polaroids with the girls too!
All the many chio girlfriends. Hahaha.
My line of work rocks.
They almost looked like they were dancing but no (haha!) Valerie was the magician’s pretty assistant!
And my favourite spider girl, Tricia!
Hahaha. This actually started during the 校花校草 days where I was supposed to be the spidermom and she’s the daughter.
Can’t remember where that came from anymore. LOL.
Tricia’s looking smashing hot as usual!
And the funniest beauty blogger ever, Evonne!
Also met Tammy for the first time. Really friendly (and mad cool) chick!
Rachie from the Cambelles of course.
My ex-clubbing kaki. HAHAHAHA!
The nicest girl, Nadia!
And Fidelis and Jacelyn. 🙂
And of course, the lovely girls from Kiehl’s.
Thank you so much for having me at the wonderful event!
And such good products need one good photo!
This is not an ad and I’m really recommending this to anyone who wants needs a boost in their nightly skincare regime.
Good stuff must share.
If I don’t remember wrongly, Yutaki uses this too. 😀
Thank you for the gift, Kiehl’s!
Let’s Fika!
Looks like getting a new camera IS a right choice.
I’ve been transformed into a brand new camwhore who would whip out my camera almost every hour.
Hahahaha!
I bought the Samsung MV9000 from Gmarket and it’s only at $320!
(The price I got from Sim Lim Square was $417, so that’s really quite a steal!)
It comes with a flip up screen and has inbuilt wifi so I can transfer pictures from the camera to my phone ANYWHERE,
even when I’m at a place with no wifi connection!
OK, enough of my boring gadget talk.
PEEKTURES!
I’m also loving my new gelish manicure from Juup!
It has got to be my favourite nail salon of all times.
Apart from the hot tea and cookies and chocolates they give me once I settled down,
I get to watch movies as I’m getting my nails done!
How awesome is that!
I did the gelish in a glittery dark grey this time round because my previous colour done by the was of a lighter shade.
Time for a change! 😀
Lunch was at FIKA located at the junction of Arab Street and Beach Road!
I have been to this Swedish cafe once but I didn’t get to try the mains the last time I was there.
So A and I took the chance to try out some of their food this time round!
The cafe was pretty spacious, clean and white!
It is a halal cafe owned and operated by muslims (that’s what they said on their website).
So muslim friends, another place to go to if you’re at Haji Lane area!
When I think of Swedish food, the first place that comes to mind is IKEA.
So naturally, we compared the meatballs A ordered with the ones served at IKEA.
A commented that the meatballs at Fika tasted very “meaty”, so if you’re a hardcore carnivore, it might suit you!
The service at Fika was a little disappointing though. Hmm.
The Aglio Olio I had was not bad though, but I think it can be a little spicier.
But they give you the opportunity to pick what you want in the pasta, so I picked shrimps for mine!
I LOVE the cold fresh milk with cinnamon though. SO GOOD! Yums.
This was the best A could do when I asked her to look at me lovingly.
WAHAHAHA!
Food all cleaned up!
If you’re interested to check out Fika at your next cafe hopping trip, here are some information you might need!
We toured around the area after getting some stocks and we found this really cute vintage store tucked in a corner!
This store has a really cute name called Roccoco Kent and
the owner of the store is really friendly too.
Here are some pictures to give you a little virtual tour around the shop!
Here we go!
There is a little outdoor area with all the cutest things you can possibly think of!
If you would also like to pay Roccoco Kent a visit the next time you around the area, here’s their address.
The main entrance to the shop is a little inconspicuous though, so do look out for this sign when you’re in the area!
And just something random we saw on our way home.
The Prata People On the Way To A Prata Party.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Till next time, time for a prata party! ❤
Hahaha!

The Lawn
2013 started with a kickass lobster from Four Seasons Hotel.
It’s brunch with the girlies at Four Seasons Hotel! ❤
Food glorious food! Yums yums for my tums tums!
Look at my main!
This freaking lobster is bigger than my forearm! *gasps*
And my favourite friends in the world!
Including the latest member of our sisterhood, no I mean.. auntiehood. Heh!
We love Baby Rykiel!
More photos with the girls!
Rossie looks so pretty here!!!
Most chio Mommy of the year award. Hehehe!
Baby looks so funny here. Heh!
I love my girlfriends! Another awesome year ahead!
And dear A, thank you for the love for the ENTIRE 2012!
I want many many more awesome years with you!

I also coloured my hair again at Shunji Matsuo 313.
Decided to going back to having a more normal colour and look less K-Pop. Hahaha!
The fringe is getting really long and unruly but I’m torn between getting them trimmed and keeping them long.
Gaaahhh!
I also took my unruly black hair to this really cute cafe called The Lawn!
I’m wearing my lovely bright yellow blazer from Runway Bandits!
So so in love with their clothes, almost everything is up my alley and it’s hard to shop within a budget at Runway Bandits.
Hahaha.

Love the simple and cute moustache watch from DamselindisDress!
A and I both have one each! Wee!
The Lawn is a like a breath of fresh air tucked away in a small corner at Biopolis.
I used to work around Science Park Drive area and if I had known there are such cute cafes around in Biopolis,
I would fly there for lunches! 😮
It is a a grill and salad bar that sells some really awesome and VALUE-FOR-MONEY food!
A gourmet coffee that is typically $5-$6 in regular cafe is only going at $3ish here.
They serve some imported beers too – up my alley. Hahaha!
For carnivores and people-who-live-to-eat-carbs (like yours truly),
you can also pick the healthy olive rice instead of greens for your main.
You may choose toppings to go with your rice or greens!
Free stickers too! Is love. Haha!
If you are thinking salad is boring and unappetizing, check this out man!
Just take a look at the generous serving of grilled prawns!
I picked rice because I cannot live with proper carbs in my meal, but it still came with a healthy salad.
I chose the citrus topping for my salad which turned out to be really good.
The grilled dory was divine too!
If I am already making you swallow your saliva vigorously as you read my entry,
then don’t forget to check out The Lawn at Biopolis.
And if you work in the vicinity of Biopolis, there is no reason why you shouldn’t try this adorable cafe out!
And before I go, I shall end this post with pictures of our supermodel puss. Heh!
Have a great week ahead!
A Little Skoob
What is the first thing you think about when you see skoob?
If you’re fast enough, you might have realized that it is actually Books spelt backwards!
If you’re in for a little “skoob” then you’re at the right place because
skoob, Singapore’s Favourite eBookstore has more than 87.000 book titles
from international and local publishers for you to choose from!
These days, the smart phones are getting smaller and the handbags are getting smaller.
People start asking for convenience and more “fuss-free” everything!
With this new ebooks website, you can now have your entire bookshelf put into your iPads, iPhones or laptops!
When I first hit into the skoob website, I realized that it more than an ebook store.
It’s almost like a freaking library!
The books are all classified under the different categories, and you can also choose to shop under “Bestsellers”,
Best Books of 2012 and “New Releases”.
The best thing is, after you’ve made your purchase, you can also start sharing your book on up to 5 devices!
Before you make your purchase, you can actually choose to do a preview of the book!
I LOVE THIS!
It’s almost like shopping in an actual bookstore, except that you get to do the previews
and shop for your books in the comfort of your own bedroom!
And if you think you will only get to read a few pages, you’re in for a surprise!
10% of the each book will be available for preview, so you will get more than one chapter. Sounds good huh! :p
skoob is available on IOS and Android so it pretty much is suitable for most of us.
Initially, I thought that the pricing would be a little more hefty since we all have to “pay for the technology”,
but surprisingly, the prices are really competitive and comparable,
if not better than books sold in physical bookstores!
“The Hobbit” for less than $9? HELLO?
I have been mad busy with work from The Tiramisu Hero lately,
so I also took the liberty to buy eGift cards for my friends for Christmas.
Hehe! These are available in $20, $50 and $100.
The first 100 customers gets an iTouch Pen and stand a chance to win Samsung Note too! *big grins*
Please let it be me! Hahaha.
And now for the real scoop, are you ready?
Other than purchasing books from the website, there are also FREE ebooks available for you to download!
These are just SOME of the free books available.
May I just say I luurrrvveee the Stieg Larsson Trilogy!
After yapping on and on about what’s so awesome about skoob, I, of course,
made my first purchase on the website too.
I used to have to lug 1Q84 Book I & II around in my bag when I head out.
LOOK AT ITS SIZE!
Now that I’ve just purchased BOOK III on skoob, I know better (lighter-bag) days are definitely ahead!
This is an awesome book by the way. You guys should all read it if you like thrillers
and would like to explore the unique world of the author’s imagination.
The cool thing is, the app also gives you a virtual bookmark you can use!
You also get to pick brightness of screen and even the fonts!
There is also a night mode where you can choose a dark background with white fonts
so you don’t go blind when you read at night. Heh!
If you are already about to download the app or check out their website,
here’s something for all SIXPEGS readers! Follow this link to register for a $5 voucher!
Here are some guidelines to get your started in case you’re feeling lost. 🙂
For Andriod users, you can download the app from Play Store and download the look from your cloud library.
For iPhone users, download the skoob app from App Store and you will be able to sync your books to the device via cloud library. Simple as that!
To shop for the books, simply visit their website and browse through the
87,000 titles available for something you like!
Click to purchase it and then sync the books into your device via cloud library.
It takes less than 1 minute to get the book into your devices!
Faster than us queuing to pay for the books at a regular bookstore! :p
I hope you like the little scoop skoob about where you can get your new books from now on!

It was Lianie’s big night and of course the girls were all sisters! Heh.
This is a picture of us with the most gorgeous bride. *love*
My hair is a little too loud so I decided to just be decked in black from head to toe.
I also got my makeup done by Crystal.

I hope you brought my better camera around during the dinner. WAILS!

It looks totally boring from the front but there is actually a surprise at the back! Haha.

I also bought myself a new bag from Alexander Wang as a pressie for myself!
LOVE IT!
The shipping only took 2 days. Awesomeness!
My new arm candy and I!
A and I didn’t really have any Christmas or NYE celebration this year.
We were busy preparing tiramisu during Christmas Eve and only had a simple dinner with family during NYE.
But we gave ourselves a little treat at Haagen Daaz with their Christmas menu though.
Love the chocolate fondue!
The year didn’t really end on a fabulous note though.
A and I got into a car accident where a van slammed right into the side of our car
when we were stationary waiting to go into her house.
The impact was quite big and the airbag was activated. Boo.
People got ombre hair, but look at my ombre arm. Hahaha. 😡
The bruise just got worse. It’s like a larger blot of dark purple now and it’s swollen and sore.
Damn the van driver. 😦
Best Of Online Stores
It’s Christmas again!
And if you have been here long enough, you will know that I always do up a whole list of blogshops that I love every year.
But for this year, I realized that some of these shops have gotten so good that they shouldn’t be called blogshops anymore!

Each and every one of these stores are handpicked by me
and I think they sure deserve to be called AWESOME in many ways.

Guess
I attended the Guess Watches event some time back and have yet blogged about it, so here it is!
I have never owned a Guess watch but I always remembered Guess as being loud and ‘bling’.
After the event, I realized that they have so many different styles of watches,
and there are so many that I cannot take my eyes off! From the loud, bling and stylish ones,
to simple classic designs – every different style.
During the event, I was supposed to style a model with Guess apparels to match a Guess watch of my choice.
And of course, who else will be a better model than my favourite girl, A!
I met other well known bloggers like my Velda, Beatrice, Zoe and Rachell.
And also got the chance to meet Vel’s model Alessia again! Haven’t seen her since New Face time!
And if you don’t know, I actually got to know Velda and Alessia during New Face days back in 2006.
Those were the days! OK sorry I digressed. So at the event, we each had a model and
we had a pick a watch for the model and pick an outfit for the model to suit the watch.
Here are some pictures at the event!
Rachell and her model.
Velda and Beatrice with their models.
And of course, A and I!
I picked for her was a classic men size black/white dress watch. I always loved watches with a bigger face,
somehow it makes the wrist look more slender!
The whole black outfit makes the white face of the dress watch pops too! One can never go wrong with a dress watch!
And of course, to look like we are a team, I chose to be decked in black with pretty sequin details. *grins*
I think watches have evolved into a great accessory over the years.
With so many different designs and styles available in the market now, it’s hard to just stop at having one watch!
I should stop spending my money on bracelets and bangles and start getting good watches that
will not only to tell the time but also as a gorgeous wrist candy!
Just like the shoes, a correct watch will complete a look or even enhance one’s outfit.
The event was hosted by Noel who is also a blogger himself!
There are also some lucky readers who were invited to the event as well. More pictures!
If you love Guess and their watches, then you’ve got to check out this new microsite!
There is also a video on the microsite where you get to see us explain about
how we chose to dress up our models the way we did (where I had problems pronouncing femininity,
I still have problems pronouncing it now haha!) and also get a chance to win vouchers and
even watches from Guess from the giveaway!
Do also cast your votes for the looks you like best, all the girls did a fabulous job so
I’m sure you’re going to have a headache choosing what you liked best.
But if you think I did ok, don’t forget to vote for me here!
Heh! And good luck from me to you for the giveaway contest!
Here’s a video of the event for you to get a feel of the party that day!
Guess Watch Styling Event from reelitytv on Vimeo.
Lastly, I also want to share this gorgeous pair of watches A and I picked from Guess.
Thank you for the generosity, Guess! We are so in love with our new wrist candies! ❤
It was such a difficult choice to just choose one! Look at these other gorgeous wrist candies from Guess!

Christmas came early for me because I’ve received many other presents!
I am loving my Aztec print blazer from Runway Bandits!
It’s really soft and light, keeps me warm in December’s weather
but not make me sweat buckets when I have to run errands outdoors.
Thumbs up!
(Sorry ah! No makeup! Hahaha.)
I also received my first book clutch (that REALLY looks like a book!)
It’s LOLITA! 😀
I am loving these handmade book clutches from My Jotter Book, so so cute!
They have many other designs and it’s really hard trying to pick one out of so many.
I also did a hair show for my salon Shunji Matsuo 313.
Actually the hair show was the reason why my hair became this colour, but the colour is really growing on me.
Call me superstitious but I think this hair colour makes me huat huat. Hahaha!
And some pictures taken from fellow blogger Felicia! Thanks Felicia! 😀
This Christmas season has been the busiest for me out of the 27 Christmases I’ve had before.
A and I have been CRAZY running around trying to fulfill all the orders we have for The Tiramisu Hero!
It sure feels good when I know I’m working my ass off for something of my own!
We also attended Lianie’s wedding two days back, will be back with more pictures real soon!
Till then, don’t forget to drop by tomorrow evening to check out a mega entry I’m putting up to
showcase some of the most awesome online stores!
This is no ordinary feature because all the online stores are handpicked and chosen from a whole list.
See you tomorrow!
My first pair of glasses
Friends who know me would know I’m someone who loves glasses and
that I own dozens of toy glasses I wear as accessories.
All through my life, I thought I had perfect eyesight.
But a trip down to Nanyang Optical had proved me wrong.
I was slightly myopic and I can finally get my first pair of proper glasses!
(Don’t ask me why I’m so excited when my eyesight has deteriorated. Haha!)
I went to the Nanyang Optical branch at NEX because it was near A’s place!
There were many different brands for the eyewear
but I was particularly attracted to the exclusive house brands in the store.
Each brand is very unique and I thought instead of getting the usual brands,
why not try something special, different and less run-on-the-mill?
It’s going to be my first pair of glasses, so I wanted it to be the best!
It was hard to pick out one pair from the huge variety of glasses on display!
So let me run through with you my selection process. Hehe!
The first one was Glossi which is generally all about being fun and loud.
This one is definitely a head-turner with the bold prints and colours used in the frames.
Price ranges from $280 – $320.
The pair that caught my attention is the one made from a special material which looks different
when viewed from different angles.
Look at the colours! It’s gorgeous!
It’s almost like a rainbow-coloured pair of glasses and I was immediately drawn to it!
The special reflective coat on the frame is super cool and I’ve never seen it on other frames before!
It is actually NCP™, a patented material developed by the design team!
The special reflective coat is the mirror coating that creates this “reflective” appearance. Savvy huh!
And after some explanation from the Branch Manager, I realized that these frames are also made from
a strong and flexible nylon compound (that explains why it’s SO incredibly light!)
that is more durable compared to other regular frames we see in the market.
As you can see in the picture below, there are no rivets or screws which you normally see in conventional frames.
The different parts in the frame are now stitched together using nylon strings!
And they are all hand-stitched! How cool is that!
Do check out their Facebook Page and official website too!
I gave it a try and I think the stitching gives the frame more flexibility and cushioning to the folding and opening as well.
It also feels more “springy” – not so constricting on the temples.
According to the Branch Manager, this unique nylon string stitched hinge is an award winning patented design!
Another brand that caught my eye was Urband which gives a very chic, city-life vibe. I love the little details on the Urband frames and there are different ranges of frames to suit different people. I was torn between the classic metal frames ones and the “geeky” acetate frames which I absolutely adore!
Urband is also the world’s first Origami Eyewear and is constructed using a single piece of metal sheet
that measures only 0.4mm! The technology is just uber awesome!
Just with a few folds, like origami, a pair of frames is born! Each bending is a skill of precision engineering!
Price ranges from $450 – $580.
I love the Origami frames and I think this design will definitely make me look very intellectual. Haha!
And as I was half expecting to see the nylon-stitched hinge,
I noticed that the hinges on the Urband frames looked different from the Glossi ones.
And they are different from the conventional ones I see outside as well. Check this out!
This is another one of their patented S-Clip design, which adopts a locking mechanism.
Like the nylon stitched ones, the S-Clip does not use screws and soldering,
giving more flexibility on top of a comfortable grip to the temples.
And without the screws, you know you won’t be running into situations where the screws become lose or fall off!
The best thing is, it looks so pretty from the front as well!
Other brands I saw also included LinkSkin which only uses eco-friendly materials for all their glasses.
And there was also Eyelet which is oh-so-cute!
Sadly, these are for kids. But if you like this brand, they also carry frames suitable for adults too.
Other than Eyelet Junior for kids and Eyelet Slim for adults,
they also have Eyelet Senior which houses a huge collection of frames suitable for seniors too.
What’s special about Eyelet is that the brand philosophy is to have frames that is stable on your face,
and that would rectify the common problem of spectacles sliding down the nose bridge or those that are slanted.
Do you know not wearing your glasses properly will decrease the effectiveness of the glasses
and in turn affect one’s eyesight?
I think it’s really important that everyone (including children) get glasses that don’t only looks cute
but also serve them well! Eyelet can also be found on Facebook.
So after much deliberation, I finally chose the frames for my first pair of glasses!
I picked this pair because it’s suitable for everyday use and I love the shade of red!
I adore the S-Clip hinge too and the frame feels very light on my face.
Almost like I’m not wearing glasses at all.
The glasses came fitted with the Crizal UV lens!
I’m sure many of you can also remember the ad which shows the lens’ ability
to repel scratches, smudges, reflections, water, dust.
The newly improved Crizal lens now comes an additional UV protection feature,
combating harmful UV rays not just from the front, but also the back of the lenses – a first in the market!
Back reflection UV is particularly dangerous because it is invisible and the concave rear of the lenses
actually acts as a collector, focusing the UV rays directly into the eye.
So kudos to Crizal for coming up with something so amazing to give us 360-degree UV protection for the eyes!
The lenses also come equipped with Eye-Sun Protection Factor (E-SPF) 25.
This is a new index developed by Essilor to measure UV protection from spectacle lenses.
With this new E-SPF 25, this means that the wearer is 25 times more protected against UV than without any lens.
Crizal UV is also said to provide about 8 times more protection compared to regular lenses in the market.
You can also find out more about Essilor here.
Glasses are more definitely more than just a necessity or tool to correct myopia today.
I love how we can use glasses to create certain “looks” and use it as an accessory!
I think this new pair of Urband is going to be a good friend from now on,
especially with the reduced reflection provided by Crizal UV lenses –
that means I can rest assured my eyes will still be seen in photos!
Here’s a demonstration of how adding a pair of glasses can completed my “studious” look! Hahaha!
If you are also looking for a new pair of glasses, here is something you don’t want to miss.
