Style love | Atlantic Pacific
In years to come, blogging will be one of those things that represents our generation. Who knows how it started? (Wikipedia, actually, but that wouldn’t be as interesting as the post I have planned.) Fashion blogging, in particular, is one of those beasts that elicits as much criticism as it does admiration. Whether it’s wunderkind...

We’re late to the party, and have just discovered makeup guru Lisa Eldridge‘s wealth of makeup tutorials on YouTube.

Interview | Jacqueline Chan of Whimsy Milieu
Forget arm candy – finger swag is where it’s at. Or so we’re now convinced, after having spoken to Australian-based designer Jacqueline Chan and lusted after her adorable new range of rings.

Interview | Ching Makes Things!
Spurred by my well-documented obsession with Peter Pan collars, I stumbled on Ching Ng’s lovely store L.A.R.K., and the accompanying DIY blog Ching Makes Things!. It has everything you could possibly love in a blog – personality, humour, pretty pictures and a strong sense of Malaysiana without dipping into stereotypes. If you’re at all arts...
Lullabelle | Handmade soap and more
Patricia Yau has always been a crafty one. She’d already been selling handmade zakka items like feathered headbands and other handmade curios when the idea to go into the soap business struck suddenly; she’d been importing handmade soaps from Taiwan, and one day thought “Why not create my own?”. Bless her DIY spirit. Pat dived...
Interview | Crane & Fox
This girl can’t quite remember how she stumbled upon Crane & Fox, although it certainly involved a series of mouse-clicks and one big gasp at the end of it. The gasp came by way of the stunning letterpress designs that the store carries (made by a mother and daughter team in the US), but more...
Interview | Huey and Wah of NottyPooch
We spotted NottyPooch’s clever organizational items at a local craft market in Kuala Lumpur sometime back, and just had to hunt down its founders, the lovely Huey and Wah, for a TGT interview. The duo make all of NottyPooch’s products from recycled billboard banners, and they’re also the brains behind hueynwah. Here, Huey tells us...
