I try not to talk too much about blogging in general here, as for most of you it is probably a mind numbingly boaring subject. But the recent Singapore adventure involved a few opportunties for me to chat about what I do, along with one of my favorite local bloggers Xia Xue, and Nuffnang Co-Founder Ming. There were news radio interviews on 938 Live, and even a morning breakfast appearance on CN Asia T.V!
With Xia Xue and Ming – all catching up in the Green Room with a cup of Milo to settle any nerves.
So what did I wear when getting up at 5.30 in the morning to be ready for this breakfast appointment? Well, I was told last minute that I needed to wear something “plain” for T.V, and of course it was then I discovered just how little in the way of “plain” I own these days! I used to have a wardrobe filled with black, but in the last few years I’ve developed a wardrobe that could rival Cindy Lauper’s! I’d thown my only plain summer black dress into the suitcase last minute, and it certainly came in handy.
Outfit Details:
Dress – Cooper St Clothing Cardigan – Katies
Stockings- Skin tone Fishnets Shoes – Luca & Marc
Bow – Arielle Antionette Braclet – Diva
Bag – Sexy But Cute (! Amazing Thai designer brand I found in Bangkok)
The outfit stood me in good stead as not only was it comfortable and slick, but it then went on to handle and entire day of shopping, eating, touring and more drinks. Which gave me a moments giggle when at about 1am the next morning sitting in a bar with friends, someone said to me, “OMG I saw you on TV this morning!” and all I could think to say was, “Thank you… I can’t believe I’m still wearing the same outfit!”
Here is a look at the Morning Show interview.
I missed watching it live (which should be more thrilling) but thank you for YouTube and recent technologies that make it possible to watch the interview
You must have received lots of SMS and calls from your friends to congratulate you for being on TV!
I saw this interview through the NuffNang tweet and thought you looked great. I’m sure you’ll have LOTS more visitors to your fabulous blog now.
I love the dress! You look great, I like the little pop of blue in form of hairbow.
I don’t know how you manage to be so calm, I would totally freak out.
That was really cool, I wish our news media actually bothered with blogging and social media rather than being afraid of them.
Thanks for the link to the interview – it was really interesting. You looked gorgeous on TV and came across very clear, calm and professional. Very impressive!
I also wanted to say how fabulous you looked at the Nuffnang awards – that dress really was divine (as well as the accessories and wrap). You would not have looked out of place at the Oscars.
Cheers, Maria
Maria: Thank you so much. The Awards are kind of like the blogging Oscars, so I felt it was only right.
Thank you – I hope so too, as the more the merrier!
Natalie: We’re getting there, but there is such a long way to go in this country.
Rosie: The bow is really great. it is a thick blue velvet and is getting a lot of outings.
Icy
Michael Aulia: Yeah, the Mr. missed the live one too, but at least he gets to watch it over and over again now!
SKM that bag is so delicious I need one similar.
Do you know if you can order them online?
You looked lovely as always and the blue bow is just perfection
SKM you are the only person in the world who can make a Cooper St/Katies combo looks THAT chic, I am, as always, thoroughly impressed.
I love the way you style your outfits. You look fabulous! Great interview, you nailed it!
Xia Xues’ blog was the first I ever came across and was the one that inspired me to start mine. I laughed myself off of my seat reading it! So cool that you met her. My ex was Singaporean and always complained about how meek Singaporeans were, but she really stands out as her own person; very strong and very funny! It’s no wonder her blog is so immensely loved and hated there. I love it! It’s so cool that you were able to meet her. And congrats on all the press! That’s a great interview.
That was a great interview. I love those outfits that can get you through everything your day throws at you.
Cheers!

Jennine: I’m just waiting on the call from Hollywood.
Thank you.
Jaede: Thanks!
Grant: Thank you – it isn’t always an easy balance, but it is important to me to always retain my own sense of self, even when making it more “corporate”.
Violet: thank you my dear. xx
Ellie: thanks, I was very pleased with how it turned out given the early morning!
Hear um Roar:
Paige: I have an arsenal in my handbag to deal with the day… that’s why I have the big bag!
Hexotica: Ha ha! Yeah, I love Xia Xue – she is such a crack up and I love her – no holds barred- attitude.
eve: thanks
Harbour Master: Oh thank you… I think you’d have a pretty fair shot at it too!
Rebecca: I’m trying to find out for you. It is so awesome I get several comments on it everyday. It holds EVERYTHING and still looks so schmick!
Really appreciate it thank-you SKM I would love one in a royal blue!
Hey,
I think that’s totally wicked how your hair during the interview matches the one on your blog
I’m glad the interview is up on the net so people like me who’s isolated in Perth get a chance to see it ^_^
Nice outfit btw.
-Candice
Candice – Hi there! Yep, my hair does match. I sent a pic to the illustrator some time ago and she got it spot on!
Wow, you’re a breath of fresh air on CNA. Being Singaporean, I never even bothered watching CNA! You look great!
