Stylescapade for Jonathan and Melissa

As our 4th anniversary is coming up, we're throwing a big bash for the entire month with workshops and roadshows in the month of August. What's a better way is to do a styled shoot for Melissa and Jonathan along with JessicaCindy for her gowns, Heaven in a Wild Flower for the beautiful set up and lastly, the amazing make up artist by Pearlyn Law.

We'll be using the photos for our editorials for the month of August and we can't wait to share another good news during October!

So we were really blessed with good weather (cloudy, diffused lighting) although we were expecting gorgeous sunset tho.

Beautiful flowers by Heaven in a Wild Flower

Look how Melissa is making JessiaCindy gown so effortlessly.

Pearlyn decided to have another look for Melissa and I'm really impressed by the speed she had another look for Melissa. As the sun was about to set, Pearlyn really tried her best to speed up the 2nd look and unsurprisingly it was really gorgeous!

Ideas for Mother's Day Gift - Guy Laroche watches

You’ve probably exhausted all ideas in your years of finding ideas to give for Mother’s Day. From apparels, home appliances, health supplement as gifts, nothing comes as timeless as giving her a Guy Laroche’s watches. And Multifolds has a great piece to tell you with Guy Laroche too.

I have to sincerely say special thanks to Melissa who recommended Guy Laroche to me tho. My mum and I had a really tough time selecting the designs but finally after much thought, we settled for leather straps because having light watches was the first priority.

So I’ve gotten the bigger design, G20104 while my mum got L20104, the smaller and more feminine size.

But before I talk further to review about the watch design and its durability, I’ll explain about who is Guy Laroche and his products.

Who is Guy Laroche?

Classic watches by French watch company, Guy Laroche exude high quality and bring in-trend styles into the art of watchmaking.

Guy Laroche is a brand many are familiar with, since its foray into high fashion couture in 1957.  The success of its couture fashion led the power house to launch its own range of fashion watches in 1986.  Today, Guy Laroche watch designs range from retro to trendy, and have captured the French brand’s high fashion essence to perfection.  Into its third decade now, it is inevitable that every trend-conscious lady of each decade, including present-age ladies, will recognize Guy Laroche as a high fashion brand.

Features of my chosen design

What makes the Classique Couture series extraordinary is the integraton of mother-of –pearl in the dials. The mother-of-pearl is a mineral found in certain mollusk shells. This makes every mother-of-pearl dial precious and special, which is able to represent the important status of our moms in our hearts. Not forgetting to mention, the mother-of-pearl has a shiny texture which adds elegance to the overall look of the watch, just like how our mothers are always pretty to us. Just like how the stainless steel dial embraces the dial centerpiece, not forgetting how our mothers have been caring and by our side all these years. The perfect gift to our mothers telling them that we care and appreciate all that they’ve done.

Features:

·      28mm case diameter

·      Ion-plated rose gold watch casing (L20104) or stainless steel watch casing (L20103)

·      Sapphire-coated glass

·      Mother of pearl dial

·      Date indicator at 3H

·      50m water resistance

·      Black croc-embossed genuine leather strap

The warm and calming feeling that Guy Laroche watches give to its wearers is exceptional. Just like the unconditional love from mothers, Guy Laroche is presenting the following pairs for this coming Mother’s Day. These watch pairs also come with black genuine leather strap, which brings contrast to the watch casing, giving the watch an overall balanced feel.

It is noteworthy that L20104 watch has a vintage look due to the ion-plated rose gold finishing on the watch dial, while the stainless steel watch casing on the L20103 watch gives it a classic feel. 

This watch combination gives us a choice to choose the right watch depending on the fashion style and preference of our moms. In addition, by wearing the same watch as our moms would be able to constantly remind us of the happy times with them.

ABOUT GUY LAROCHE WATCHES

Never go moist with Eureka EDC-51 Dry Cabinet!

It is a great honour to try out  Eureka EDC-51 Dry Cabinet. To many fans out there, what is the fuss of having a dry cabinet for your cameras? I can easily store my camera and lens on inside my cupboard with Thirsty Hippo to absorb moisture or rather, leaving the lenses and camera anywhere I want.

But what happens if you leave that way too long?

This can happen to your lens.

With humidity in Singapore soaring up to 90%, it can be really ideal for fungus to grow on your lens. Especially when your lens are not weather sealed (those expensive ones aren't weather sealed), rain water can enter easily and get mixed with the dust. The most ideal humidity range is 40% to 50%, but you will not get it in Singapore's climate.

Lens fungus contamination is caused by a combination of moisture and dust (containing fungus spores) that can get inside your lens’s interior elements. Some dust gets inside every lens, especially if it’s a lens that isn’t fully “weather sealed” like the very expensive professional models. The dust specks are usually not a problem, by themselves. However, add a little moisture, and very bad things can happen!

Therefore dry cabinets are really important for all lens and almost all electric devices here in Singapore. I mean, you would rather invest in a $200+ dry cabinet instead of losing your lens especially, 24 - 70mm F2.8 at almost $3k right?

My Experience with Eureka EDC-51 Dry Cabinet 

The first thing when I unboxed the cabinet, I was really impressed with the design. The silver rims make it really attractive.

Spacious design.

My previous dry cabinet, yes previous since now I've gotten the Eureka Dry Cabinet has a battery operated hygrometer. It wasn't reliable as I thought to be because I needed to replace the battery almost every 12 months. But for Eureka Dry Cabinet, the hydrometer is analogue therefore I do not need to worry about replacing batteries. Not only that, the hydrometer readings are huge enough to read comfortably. But ultimately, the best feature about this hydrometer is that it's made in Germany. And through my experience, german measuring devices or electronics are always one of the best in the world.

The overall look of this dry cabinet. Compact size but a huge storage space within.

 Quality rubber sealing

 The Relative Humidity Control is extremely simple and easy to use. Adjust the knob left or right to get the right balance to get a RH of 40 - 50%. 

So, why Eureka EDC-51 Dry Cabinet instead of others?

Eureka Electronic Dry Cabinets	Other Brands
“Auto Adsorption” Theory In the heart of Eureka’s Dry Unit Module contains a formulation of “Multi-porous Molecular Sieves”. These sieves adsorbs and traps moisture in the air and materials by means of Van der Waal forces. Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) is used to control the valve shutter in order to expel moisture from the cabinet	“TE Cooling Chip” Theory Thermal Electric Cooling chip has to be connected to electricity to function. One side of the chip surface is cooled to condense moisture in the air into frost/water. The drying system requires a fan and transformer to dissipate heat and expel vapour out from the cabinet
Outer valve of the Dry Module will shut immediately to prevent moisture from outside the cabinet getting in. Multi-porous Molecular sieves will continue to trap moisture inside the cabinet Dehumidification still continues even if unit has power turned off	Without power the chip will lose ability to expel moisture The frost collected on the TE chip melts into water and thus raises the RH in the cabinet Should the outer valve of the dry unit be in open position during power off, ambient moisture will enter the cabinet via the valve
Fully automatic, Plug n play Operated silently and Maintenance-free	The fan and transformer could be noisy and susceptible to breakdowns after prolonged operations
A 40% RH can be reached within 3 hours. The dehumidification in Eureka Dry cabinets is controlled smoothly and gradually. The advantage of gradual dehumidification is to avoid undue stress on the stored materials from drastic change (drop) in relative humidity conditions.	RH level of 40% can be reached within 1 hour

Lovescapade - Wei Ting and Terence in Singapore Part 1

What can I say about Weiting and Terence? I sorta see them growing up from engaging us for their solemnization. I still could vividly remember she wanted to see us at Raffles City Starbucks and Terence can't come for the meeting. From there, I know she love our works a lot because she was willing to see us and discuss about her solemnization.

Cutting short, whao! I can never imagine capturing her solemnization, pre-wedding and her wedding day all in one. I felt that she has the most creative and most daring pre-wedding ever done

Well?? What's interesting? May the photos open your vision on what is a real pre-wedding. A lovescapade shoot that talks more about the couple having their utmost fun.

And I am thankful to have Amanda coming down and help despite she's very tired from her previous shoot with Dear Laura!

A princessy photo of her.. Lady Gaga wannabe.

Can't believe the orange ball of sun!!!!

Pretty amazing that her level of energy is still high and willing to climb on the tree to hang the little tent!

Beautiful isn't it, this is the end result.

We're supposed to use this balloons to float the tent but alas, the tent was really heavy for the balloons to be lifted up!

Stay tuned for part 2!!
