Updates!

Hey ya lovelies! After working my butt off over some custom orders all week after Chic Pop last Sunday, I finally have a little time to update my now very empty blogshop with a few new designs & classic remakes. So mosey on over to Earrings, Necklaces, Bracelets & More to check out my latest offerings! Hope you'll ♥ them.

By the way, how do you like my new business/jewelry card folks? I gave Dura the talented maven of The Fashion Forest free rein & she came up with this dreamy little lady that I'm lovin' right down to the little cleft on her chin & voluptuous lips! Look out for a copy of this card in your next order from Mimpi Murni!

In other news, I'll also start carrying a small line & limited line of The Fashion Forest on the blogshop soon along with some exclusive calendars & Xmas cards so once that's up you'll be the first ones to know, I promise! I also have some limited edition t-shirts by Mia Palencia that I'm super excited to share with you real soon so stay tuned.

In the meantime, have a look around my latest jewelry collection & have a great weekend my lovelies! XOXO

Emma

I have to admit that I am a HUGE Jane Austen fan. I've read all of her books & keep multiple copies of Pride & Prejudice at home along with a digital version on my iPhone. However, Emma has a very dear spot in my heart as it was the very first Jane Austen book I picked up at 16 after finding out that Clueless was based on this particular book (yes, yes, I love chick flicks too!). Ever since then, I devoured all of Ms Austen's work. So imagine my delight when I found out that the BBC has a new Emma series showing & someone has kindly uploaded the series on YouTube! Thought I'd share it with you just in case you're as big of a fan as me ;)

47 Meters Is All You Need

Yup. This house is only 47 meters & I love it. It's simple without being minimalistic, chic without being frou frou & modern without being dated. Simply put, it's perfect.

DIY Russian Nesting Doll Card

It's no secret that I love Russian Nesting Dolls or Matryoshkas (amongst other things) so imagine my delight when I found this cute & simple little tute on how to make your very own card version! Complete with easy to follow instructions & template, needless to say I'll be raiding my scrapbook paper stash soon to make a few of these babies.

Christine Edwards

Oh, no! So. Cute. Must. Succumb. I love these done-up-doggies looking all smart & formal in their bow ties & ties by Christine Edwards. I want to get a print but which one, which one?? They're all so freakin' cute (not to mention funny)! If only she had an English Cocker Spaniel like my own fur babies, I'd snap it up in a heart beat.

P/S: The scruffy Terrier mix wearing a vintage tie kinda speaks to me. Although the Coton de Tulear wearing a vintage bow tie with his little tongue sticking out looks so gosh-darn adorable! What do you lovelies think?

Mimpi Murni At Chic Pop

Thought I'd show you my table set up at Chic Pop yesterday before the mobs of people descended Zouk (excuse the crappy shots as all I had was my iPhone). I was on my feet throughout most of the day, talked practically non-stop, finished 3 packs of business cards & I now have custom orders to last me for a good solid 3 days of work. Needless to say, I slept 11 hours last night (& most of this morning) & I still feel exhausted! Nevertheless, I better get cracking on those orders!

But before I go back to my worktable, I just want to say thank you to Tongue In Chic for inviting Mimpi Murni back for Round 2 & as usual, you guys put on an excellent bazaar! Never been happier, honestly (I'm really going to miss Valene as she leaves the TiC team but I'm looking forward to seeing more of Crystal). Also, it was really, really great to meet those of you who have been following me online. I truly appreciate that you took the time to drop by my table to say hi & introduce yourself as I never fail to get a kick out of meeting you guys!

Oh, and here's a final shot. This was the foyer of Zouk when the crowd of people had already subsided somewhat & I took a quick second to snap this picture. Now, imagine when there were more people & you'll get a better idea of how packed the place was!


Are you dying for Round Three already? Let the folks at Tongue In Chic know!

Furoshiki

Furoshiki gift wrapping from RecycleNow on Vimeo.

Taken off this neat little site: Originating from Japanese culture where it promotes caring for the environment and reducing waste Furoshiki is the eco-friendly wrapping cloth. Using techniques similar to origami, it can be used for gift wrapping, grocery shopping or simply as decor. It is reusable and multipurpose. Each year billions of plastic bags end up as litter; reusable bags, such as furoshiki can help reduce the impact to our environment. Its versatility allows you to wrap almost anything regardless of its shape or size.

Check out the variety of techniques that you can use to wrap that special present!

Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday!!

Don't forget our date this Sunday at the Chic Pop Street Market k? The bazaar will be open from 12 pm - 7 pm & I'll be located at the foyer of Zouk, right between the entrance to the Main Room & Velvet, and next to The Click Shop (I'm predicting a new & fun little camera in my future)! See you there my lovelies ;)

Oh, and here's the map to Zouk just in case you've never been there before (Gasp! Really??).

Ryan + Jade

The man & I had 2 weddings to attend last Halloween but since Bobby took on Heng Tai* duties at one wedding we missed out on Ryan & Jade's big day. So imagine my delight when Bobby sent over a link to this video montage shot of their wedding! Aaawww, don't you think Ryan & Jade look so happy? Congratulations you lovebirds!

P/S: I got to give props to the videographer for capturing Ryan & his groomsmen funky moves (at 2:57 if you were wondering). Inspired by the Corona eh? Hehehe.

*Meaning "brother" in Chinese, a Heng Tai is basically a groomsman who has to put with with some "abuse"... it's fun, trust me! You can read more about this Chinese custom here.

Mimpi Murni ♥ Chic Pop

Chic Pop Street Market is back for round two THIS SUNDAY & you're not gonna want to miss out! I had a blast at the last event (as I always do at all Tongue In Chic events) & you can read all about my experience here.

I'll be bringing in more of my homemade lip balms in brand new man-friendly versions of Peppermint & All Natural along with the ever popular Mango Peach & French Vanilla flavors. And of course I'll have a whole lot of new jewelry & accessories to tickle your fancy! I will also carry a small line of Dura's Fashion Forest art & prints that I've been loving ever since I bought my first set of Fashion-Na-Nimal Darlings so I'm pleased as punch that I get to share Dura's lovely work with you!

Well, expect to find other great shopping bargains, yummy-licious food and drinks to fill up on as well as other services like fortune-telling and manicure!
