Located in Bukit Timah area. Pretty upmarket area. I patronized them few years back. I love the quality of their clothes. Thick fabric, cute prints and quality clothes for the kids and adults. You may find family sets in some collections. Sizes can be from as young as infant to age 5. Check them out at their visual store:

I love their kids' clothes! Too pretty. I would like to second what they said "Quality Handmade Clothing", totally agree. I managed to purchase 2 pieces of their girl's dresses. Fit my daughter well, just the right size for her. She is 23 months old. Perfect cutting and vibrant colours. It's only available online. Sizes can be from as young as 3 months old to age 5.

GlitterGlam

GlitterGlam

Apparently, they are "one of the favourable wardrobe sponsor brands for TV station and various production houses. Glitter Glam is undeniably a recognisable brand within Singapore." Personally, I have not purchased from them yet. You are able to shop for mother/child collection and GlitterGlam Ladies' collection. Radio DJ of Class 90.5, Jamie Yeo, seems rather actively involved in their designing role as well as the ambassadorial role. 



The Happy Cheongsam

The Happy Cheongsam

Cheeky and fun designs you may find refreshing and happy fun from thehappycheongsam. Check out their website for available mama and daughter sets. I love their designs as I find them able to incorporate bubbly, fun and cuteness into their designs. 
Sizes are more suitable for age 1 - 6. 



CleoAnn

CleoAnn

CleoAnn has been in business for really long. I have seen them around for more than 10 years ago. Love how comfortable their clothes can be. They usually stock up every weekly, they brought in huge varieties of mother/girl collection. CleoAnn focuses on more casual, comfortable and loose fit style. Very ideal for dress down day. Mainly for Hassle-free dress code. Sizes can be from age 1 - 6. Pricing wise rather affordable. 

For pregnant mummy, you can still fit in their clothes during, post pregnancy, even for nursing mummy. You may also pop by their visual shop at:

Jurong Point Shopping Centre

Quality cutting and services. Not too worry if the sizes didn't snug on you perfectly. They offer you free alteration. So they are making sure you won't find loose corners or edges! I love their varieties of cheongsams and dresses. All korean styles. However, their kids' collection only fit age 4 and above. Well, kids grow up real fast, you could just purchase first and wear later! 

Despite their top quality clothings, their marketing portion seems rather simple. In my personal opinion, I feel they should engage qualified models and at least put up good and enticing quality photos on their FB page.

For mummies, do go cray cray for the ladies' cheongsam collection, just too pretty! Yipee, they just launched their online store May 2015, you may also visit them at the following shops:

1 Raffles Place#04-16/17 

One Raffles PlaceSingapore 048616

8A Marina Boulevard,

The Cotonnier (Malaysia)

The Cotonnier

I recently uncovered this online shop, feeling proud of myself! I realised some of the kids' clothes seem to match up with most of mine! However, I wasn't able to grab the one I particular eye on. It's no longer available! Looking forward to shop with them. If you are an experience modern cheongsams shopper, you probably find their designs very familiar, accents of ourbitsyprints and Lark and peony. Grab those dresses to matchy your cheongsams! Sizes are more suitable for age 2 - 9.

Good Old Kampung Stories!

Dear all, 

I was overcome with nostalgia for my days in the Kampung... One of the most memorable days of my life. I mean you don't get to experience it now. Especially your kids.. Not everyone get to experience Kampung life. Especially when you are staying in town. I recalled vividly, when I was really young, my family would visit my ah ma and ah gong in the Kampung. My dad would drive from Bedok to the Sembawang, it's really far! There wasn't any TPE then. The road into the Kampung was pretty bumpy thou. When I was young, taking a ride to another place was just plain boring! There was no ipad, no skyline, no malls, not many HDBs as compared to current. Its just BORING. hhahaha.. I wondered how did I survive thru my childhood? Well, kids being kids, we will figure out what to do.. Like taking a nap in the car on the way to my Ah ma's house. Zzzz

Photo taken from rememberingsingapore.org

The above photo is just for your reference. My grandparents used to stay in one of those houses. 

A little background about the kampung, during those days, those houses in Sembawang were really huge or rather spacious. There were quite a few rooms in that house! I love especially when my grandparents' house was near the beach or swamp. Hahaha. And behind our house, there's a forest with all kinds of local fruits, you could find durian, rambutan, banana, buah chiku, etc... Many types of fruits, there won't be deficiency of Vitamin C! I love the space and freedom when I was there. Heaps of fresh air!

I love staying over despite the fact that I am terrified of insects, reptiles, etc.. Yes. You heard me right, during that time, it is rather common to see reptiles.. Hahhaa.. Monitor lizards, pythons, snakes, crocodiles, etc.. I considered myself an urban little girl at that point of time as I lived in the HDB then. We usually played with our neighbours in the playground. So exploring the Kampung is a whole new experience.  

I found out so much from the following link. Good to know. 
Kampung Village

Anyways, back to the kampung games! 

What games do you miss? 
Some of those games will be ideal to play with my kids! Recommended for above age of 5+.

Remember these?

I love Congkak

Try out with your kids! 
Its child-friendly and no harm. Back to basic, keep the tradition. Engaging them with these games, can be happy and fun! Stay away from ipad! 

Also, what's your stories during your childhood day?

Hope you like what I have shared so far. 

Till the next updates!
