It was by chance that when we walked into Chijimes, we stumbled onto the lovely shadow patterns of the glass ceiling cast onto the white plaster wall. Chijimes is now undergoing a bit of renovations to make way for even more dining establishments, but the inside of it is still as beautiful (and deserted during the daytime sadly). I personally really love the sharp peaks of the chapel and consider as one of the most beautiful around in Singapore. The interiors are just as pretty, with tiled floors and a long corridor leading up to the nave. 

This pair of bell bottom pants from Lauren Jasmine is absolutely unique with a lace pattern fabric and lovely faux leather trim. I would personally prefer it to be even more bell cut with a tight-fitting thigh and exaggerated boot cut though! You can pair it with a chiffon poet sleeve blouse and daisy headband for some serious boho factor. 

That aside, I'm really looking to revamp my blog and Facebook page to bring it to a higher level! Looking for a photographer/writer to join my blog for long-term collaboration and ownership. Interested please mail to nakedglory.blog@gmail.com with samples of your work.

Lady in the Colonial House

Photos by Katherine L.

Raffles Hotel has always traditional been one of my favourite hotels in Singapore, mainly because of its beautiful colonial architecture, marble floors, open-air courtyard, murals and hanging chandeliers. Not to mention that it's home to some of my favourite independent clothing boutiques in Singapore, such as Front Row, Surrender and home and lifestyle store Supplies & Co. 

I took the chance to shoot this elegant, ladylike dress from Lauren Jasmine in Raffles Hotel as I felt that it complemented the style of architecture rather well. I really like the subtle showing of skin from the two lace panels of the dress and the wide pleats running down, making this a perfect dress for meeting the parents, or attending an elegant function.

That aside, these few days Singapore has seen a drought with all the grasses turning brown and plants all struggling to stay upright. Today's rain finally put an end to it all - I'm still pinning for London's cooler weather despite the frequent drizzles and dark glommy clouds. Still missing so much of everything from London, I guess a part of myself will always stay there.
