• Magnets, tacks, or Photoclips

Here are the 3 simple steps to get your 1st Pola-Calendar:

break

1. Get Your Photos.

Have your Polaroid Camera ready at all times. When you see a number between 1 and 31 that you like, snap it! Snap letters to represent the seven days of the week (eg. M or Monday)

These are what you’ll need to snap:

• One Polaroids each of numbers 1 through 31
• Letters to represent of each day of the week
• Seven extra Polaroids to fill in gaps in the calendar (can be anything you want!)

 2. CLIP IT TOGETHER

• Get your fotoclips and start clipping your prints together.
• Use a calendar as reference on how to clip the numbers together, and use the extra Polaroids to fill any blank spaces at the beginning and end of the calendar.
• You can start by clipping together the rows for each week, then joining the rows together to make the calendar.
• An easy way to put the clips on without damaging the Polaroids is to start with a corner of the Polaroid, then slide it into place.

STEP 3: PUT IT UP, USE IT & WAIT FOR THE COMPLIMENTS!

Once its done, put it up on the wall and admire your own unique Calendar! Invite a few friends over to hear their “oohs” and “aahs”
At the start of each new month, you can switch the positions of the numbers to keep the calendar up to date.
BUT Don’t remove all the clips and do it again.
Leave the row of weekdays intact and use this simple tip:
Though the position of the numbers will always change, they will always be above the same group of numbers, as show below.

• 1/8/15/22

• 2/9/16/23

• 3/10/17/24

• 4/11/18/25

• 5/12/19/26

• 6/13/20/27

• 7/14/21/28

Add and remove photos to each row as needed, but leave those rows intact and just shift the first or last photos.

Stay tuned for Part 4 of the series. Even better ideas coming up!

In the meantime, why don’t you get more Polaroids or check out our posts?

The Booths

There was a good selection of Jewellery Designers there with some amazing products and great ideas for displays (pinched a few ideas for future stalls!).  Collected lots of business cards and brochures for inspiration.

More booths!

As you can see it was fairly quiet, I think most people were still in bed!

  Ice cream never fails to work its magic on most people, I have yet to meet any one who doesn't like ice cream. Even dairy avoiders like myself cannot resist this sweet treat. The satisfaction of the icy cool, smooth coat of sweetness in your mouth takes all the attention off the amount of calories you're actually consuming. Add the mix-ins, tim tams, granolas, oreos and so on, and there's heaven right here on earth. Universally adored as ice cream is, subjectiveness is equally applicable. Pickiness hits when it comes to flavours; some people hate chocolate (why?!), some don't take mint (why?!), some don't take vanilla (like myself), some only take sorbets, some love the exotic or weird concoctions, and the list goes on. Same as with fashion, it's subjective. Not only do different things look good on different people but what each individual likes is vastly different as well. When these individuals coincide on something they like, then boom, that's the bestseller or the 'hot' piece of the season or runway or collection.   

This week we headed down to Ice Cream Chefs (across the main road from Casuarina Curry) for Birthday Month Specials Part 2. Apart from the stares from the dine-in customers and the challenge of getting the lighting right, it was the usual photo-shoot-fun. Check out Tisha's great big smile in almost every shot, who says ice cream isn't an immediate perk-me-up? 

Vests are rather passe, moreover, the weather these days makes it impossible to wear an additional layer on top of your attire. However, chiffon shrugs and lace vests make for easy accessories. Not only are they an updated version of the vest that we have seen too much of, they're light and airy, which makes them wearable in this oven that we inhabit. Choose from black or cream and take your pick on whether you want crochet lace adorning the back of the vest. Wear them with shorts to complement your casual weekend or dress up an ordinary dress with one of these pretty additions. The crochet lace vest can be tired at the waist or left open in front, whichever tickles your fancy. Avoid layering lace over lace as it would be an overkill. Hence, with the crochet lace vest, pair with a plain tank top. Since the vest is sleeveless, your top or dress should be sleeveless as well or it would look odd. 

Loving the prints this week thanks to a fresh take on the overdone 'bird' prints and in new colours too. This print features a bold, fat bird (haha) and when placed against emerald, mustard and navy is reminiscent of the quirky Marc by Marc Jacobs. The contrasting stripes on the skater dress give it a new swing, so update that skater look with this edgy one. On this sweltering day, I say some ice cream calls, head down to Ice Cream Chefs if you are around the area. If not, look out for the uncles pushing those familiar ice  cream carts and invest $1 for 10 minutes of happiness. If all else fails, there's Macdonald's and the ice cream cone that was 50 cents, then 60 cents and now 70 cents. All hail inflation.

We have been crazy busy packing and prepping your orders to ensure that all packages paid for are shipped before our trip. Yes, we are going for a short holiday with the kids, and whilst we will be online, we will not be in Singapore. So orders will not be processed till we return.

Some sneak peeks on our #behindthescenes as we prep your orders… We have fallen in love with washi tape (ok, more like renewed our undying love for it) and have restocked on more pretties. We have also got some totally awesome twine that works prettily with Sparkle Thots (you know, our love for pink!). You’d start seeing them as they have already been shipped out.

So, here’s us signing off till the 9th. We are taking a couple of extra days off to pack and prep for the trip. So we do thank you for understanding.

** The shop‘s still open. All orders will be processed on a first in, first out basis. Shipping is expected to resume on 12th June. Thank you once again for your patience.

It's not a myth that growing older makes you more forgetful, neither is it a myth that you need more sleep as you age nor is it untrue that you'll be more absent minded than ever. I used to remember numbers, no matter how arbitrary they were, without any problems and they would remain in my brain all the way up till late the next day. These days, even remembering which floor I'm supposed to head to is a small issue. Darn. That's why birthdays after the the quarter mark aren't worth celebrating; they are, ironically, a reminder of how much is to be forgotten as much as they are indicators of how much wiser we've become with the years we've clocked in our time on this planet. 

Birthdays are fun because they give us a reason to celebrate. It would be odd to have a cake and candles on some random day in the year. At least there is a date that holds some significance to an individual, although that can be debated because there are millions of others who probably share that same so-called special day. I chanced upon the term 'Astrotwins' some time ago. Astrotwins are people born on the same day, same month, same year and therefore also share the same star sign. Apparently, they share similar experiences in life and the closer the times they were born, the more similar those life experiences. I have an astrotwin but unfortunately we've drifted so far I cannot even call us acquaintances, so I cannot test this astro-theory. 

Well astro-theories aside, today is Dressabelle's birthday! So happy birthday to the girl-next-door and thank you to all you loyal fans out there who have seen us grow these past 4 years. 4 years and going strong, we're more than happy to continue bringing you the best quality we can get our hands on as well as style and versatility as you need it. 

Taking the cue in crisp contrasts and glowing colours from Chloe, this week's collection features a pleated dress in unique contrast tones with a sash belt. Let your eyes play tricks on you with the colour mix in these pieces, in marigold yellow, coral, tiffany blue and mint green. Nude accessories (shoes or belts) look great with these tones. 

Do the mandarin collar justice and wear it all buttoned up for a change. In a contrast tone, this collar can't be missed. Paired with anything from wedges to heels, this dress is an easy piece for instant style. Try a low bun with this dress (if you have enough hair and the face shape to pull off that look), slip on those awesome heels and you're good to go. 

Go for the peplum tops this summer for girly chic. Pair them with skinny pants or tighter skirts to streamline the bottom in contrast to the flare from the peplum accent. In prints, the peplum has an updated and edgy look that will definitely spice up that boring corporate outfit. In lightweight fabric, it is definitely a comfortable choice for a day from meeting to meeting or over a relaxed weekend brunch or lunch with shorts. Pair with bright colours for an immediate style update and woven wedges, perfect for the season. 

Have a good week ahead everyone, forget the Monday blues, it's 4 days to the weekend!
