Colour Block Clutch

Awhile back I received a whole bunch of goodies from 3M to test out and review. Since I had to give the product a test run, I figured why not make something in the process and in the end, I decided on a simple duo-tone clutch bag which was relatively easy to execute.

Some of the materials I used: Assorted Felt (from Daiso @ $2/pack), Faux Leather, Metallic Zipper & Scotch Precision Ultra Edge Non-Stick Scissors.

After making a simple pattern for the clutch, it was time to try out the Scotch Precision Ultra Edge Scissors. I used the scissors to cut out both the paper pattern and fabrics which was very convenient since I usually use separate scissors for paper and fabrics. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth the scissors cut through both the felt and faux leather. Another major plus, it's lightweight and has comfortable grip handles.

I guess the only thing I was slightly dissapointed in was that the scissors probably isn't that ideal for all fabric types since I did try using it to cut jersey and it was alittle rough to cut through. However, overall I really liked how functional and convenient the scissors was and would definitely recommend it for those of you interested in scrapbooking or simple crafts.

Finally, after some sewing magic, my new clutch bag!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!=)

Duo-Tone

Colour Block Clutch Preview @ Street Stylista

Something I made for myself about a month back while I was trying out some 3M products to review. Pretty simple concept, (I wanted a) clutch bag + (I love) colour blocking and this is what I got. More on the review soon.

Major lust over the Mary Katrantzou for Topshop collection. Her prints are always too beautiful to resist. I hope I'll get to see the actual pieces when they arrive in Singapore next month, well, if they don't already disappear by then.

Celebrity: Song Ji Hyo

I was clueless about who Song Ji Hyo was until I started watching this korean variety show called Running Man randomly late last year. Ended up loving the show and the hilarious cast with it so much that I've introduced it to my brother and friends to watch as well. Since the Chinese New Year is here, a red-themed edit is perfect for the occasion. To everyone celebrating, Happy Chinese New Year 新年快! Hope you all have a great time catching up with family and friends and eat lots of delicious food! Happy Holidays!=)

p/s: I'm unable to credit the photographer & stylist for the edit since I can't read Korean. If you do, please help me out. Thanks!

I love wearing shorts and to think of it now, I actually wear them pretty much most of the time. One of my favourite style is the boyfriend shorts which I find a very versatile piece since it matches with almost everything. Which is your favourite style of shorts?
