An ex-journo and former techno phobe from Singapore living in Tokyo, I worked in print media for six years until I moved countries in 2006 and used the Internet as a way to have a viable, mobile career. Now, I'm a blogger on the go who runs an online beauty biz from wherever I might be. I never thought I would ever morph into a web chick - but here I am.
...The ups and downs of expat life, trailing partner issues, food, travel, and Japanese culture. It's a way to keep in touch with friends back home and all over the world, plus it's a corner for me to showcase my work. But really, I'm just a restless spirit looking for great adventures and fabulous food.
Most folks would be envious or impressed when I tell them I live in one of the most exciting cities in the world, but there are people who genuinely don’t get it, and ask me, “Why do you want to live there?”
Believe it or not, this question stumps me and I need to pause for a while to formulate a coherent answer that is not like, “Because it’s so GREAT!”
I mean, look at this picture of the Shibuya crossing which is such an iconic image of Tokyo.
I was gleeful when I received a little package from Ambien a few weeks ago.
The kangaroo (yes, he’s back!) swung by Singapore and picked up another set of trinkets I got.
Isn’t the crown lanyard too cute? You can get the lanyard in black or white which is a fab idea.
Here’s another one I scooped up at her previous sale…
I don’t really have a small black beaded necklace so I thought this would be nice with a couple of black dresses and tops I have.
I wish I could get more especially from her new Enchantment collection but my accessories box is overflowing right now. In this series, you’ll find witty pieces with perfume bottles, an old-fashioned phone, clothes hangers, handcuffs (sexy!), a bi-plane, and other unique charms in necklaces and bracelets.
A few of my readers actually bought some accessories from iloveaglaia, so she’s decided to give 10% off to LIJ readers and all you need to do is spend at least $20 and quote LYM.com in your email. You can also click on the little yellow banner in my sidebar to take you to her blog shop.
