1 Christmas 2 Trees

Tree no. 1 inspiration came from my standing lamp. After removing the lamp head and bulb, what’s left was the DIY Christmas Tree backbone skeleton.

Tree no. 2 is ready-made bought and assembled with 3 screws. Loaded on with accessories and ribbons, we have a glamorous living area topped with my StaR.

Merry Christmas my dear friends, have a blessed New Year.

Japan my Home

Being a self-confessed bargain hunter, I love Japan Home!

Look what I found:

Cellulite Massager

Roll away those unsightly thigh ripples~~

Face Massager

Slim your jawline with this!

This is not all, I bought a cute Jap style apron at $4, nice basket for coins and keys at $3, floor seat cushion $4… All in all, my visit to Japan Home costs me no more than $25 and I had a big bag of stuff!

*happy happy*

Majolica Majorca

Under the umbrella of Shiseido along with sub-names like Ettusais, Majolica Majorca was launched in various parts of Asia some time back. Had to stock up on this brand when I was in Japan, now it is available in Singapore! Could not believe my eyes when I saw it featured in a local mag.

Best Mascara without breaking the bank.
Closest competitor - Chanel Inimitable Mascara
Best Eyeshadow Palette, creamy without crease and grease
Rave – Effortlessly create a colour gradient look and works well in humid sg weather~~

Guess what, of all places… This much loved brand has to be available locally through Watsons (??!!). Why can’t it be in SaSa or some departmental store? What a let-down on the brand image. Displeased, I went on MajolicaMarjoca just to find out regionally, it seems their products are no where in Watsons! Just hope this doesn’t become another ZA.

Absolutely try it for yourself and you will know what I am blabbing about!

Arm Candy

This one tops my Christmas Wish List hands down.

Organise Myself

Finally! Managed to get a new organiser for myself (reluctantly!) Hoped to find one that I would love at first sight but I think that does not happen every year. Besides, I have too many criteria in choosing a perfect one that it gets really tiring.

It has to be compact, not bulky, not cutesy, enough scribbling pages, blah.

Every year when I bring forward my notes and clippings to the new book, I see a beloved picture that is dear to me. Things have changed but I hope in some ways it will not.. Since now two of them are blissfully hitched and beautiful mums. :)

Look forward to filling up December page with more Christmas events. (if any is coming my way!)

Time flies!

Sex & The City Wedding Edition Collector's Pack

Spot this on a magazine, went to trusty Amazon.com and they are selling this on discount!

- Absolutely Love -

However, it may not be able to play on my DVD machine. Risk or not?

The Necessary Opening Speech

First and foremost, welcome to Vintage Papillon. Thank you for being one of the first to visit my 2nd corner of escape following Deery Lou Aromas. Being a bit of a techno lag, I have only just discovered the addictive element of blogging.

Vintage Papillon means Vintage Butterfly. In total French, Papillon De Cru should be it. However, most blog names have been taken up and almost only the boring combinations of words are remaining. I wanted so much to name this blog Vintage Lilac; lilac being the most soothing colour I love and romantic vintage is my current style candy.

Inspirations and highlights of my thoughts and sights will ink here. Until I figure out how to dress up blog backgrounds and do fancy stuff with the template, please bear with boring colours and typical layouts. Or you can volunteer yourself with the customization of this space!

Anyway, click back once in a while and see you around. Est aimé!

Till my next post,
