Colourful houses in Singapore

Sandwiches!

Singapore is sooooooo beautiful!

Stanley and Antoinette (pictured above) from The Little Drom Store took me around on what we came to call the 'instagram tour' and showed me so many pretty houses! There was so much to see, with such little time, and on one occasion Stanley even pulled out the car before I had closed my door. Ha ha. It was literally the ideal tour for me. GET THE PHOTO! LET'S GO! NEXT!

I mean, these pretty colours! Do you die?! Soooooo cute!

Most of these photos were taken with my Fujifilm X100T in the Joo Chiat area which is ridiculously pretty. The tiles, the colours...I basically walked around with my jaw dropped to the ground.

Hello Hawker!

Hello Sandwiches!!!

How are you all? It's F I N A L L Y getting cold in Tokyo. I made nabe tonight, and am wearing heat tech, and my feet are cold and I can smell winter. It's brilliant.

I'm just back from Singapore where I hosted a series of workshops and had a pop-up at The Little Drom Store. Gosh it's been incredible travelling around lately. Lithuania, Amsterdam and Singapore. I have a giant backlog of images to show you, but for now, here are some pics from the hawker food center.

OMG this place, and all it's amazing colour and delicious foo.! I can't even!

Antoinette and Stanley from The Little Drom store took me to their favourite fresh fruit juice stall. I'd caught a cold in Singapore, and Antoinette recommended a Singapore remedy of, I think it was starfruit and salt. It was super delicious and I'm sure it helped me recover. Stanley had mentioned that he really loved the retro signage at the hawker food center, and we had long conversations about the fonts, printing types, and acrylic signs. The perfect conversation.

The curry puff uncle! Singapore is F U L L of smiles.

Lilac bowls!

Canary yellow. Green. Turquoise. And lime. Yassssss!

Orange and lime.

Even the stacks of dirty plates made it onto my Fujifilm X100T.

Love the cutlery identification tagging technique.

Bobochacha (which is ridiculously fun to say) and other amazing Singapore desserts.

 photo IMG_7709low_zpshhr37hm9.jpg

In case it wasn't already amazing enough, Stanley came back with drinks in bags. And check out the bags - purple and red. Teamed with the little fluoro green ties - I can't even. 

 photo IMG_7884_zpshadnmjjh.jpg

Pink drink in a bag. With a yellow straw! STOP!!!

"Let's shoot it again, without the line and with both hands"

 photo IMG_7945_zpscvcapmcz.jpg

Do you die?

I die!

 photo IMG_7708_zpsmm1stb8c.jpg

Each stall paints the ends of their cutlery so they can be returned to the correct stall. Swoon!

"It looks cute with the tiles too, don't you think?"

 photo IMG_7730low_zpsoevnxb0s.jpg

Okay so people who bring their own coloured melamine to the hawker food center (which is already filled with coloured melamine) ARE THE BEST!

 photo IMG_7902_zpsfrmsux7a.jpg

We did a shoot for Polkaros' new 'Singapore Dessert' collection. Antoinette said it felt like she was making me work, but for me it was heaven. I LOVE a good shoot. Ant and Stanley brought along their own props and we stood on chairs taking overhead shots in the middle of the hawker food center. We even made good use of a mint tray as a reflector board. Lol. You can take the girl outta Vogue Living...

 photo IMG_7758low_zpstelnjccz.jpg

This polkaros collection is ridiculously cute!

And ZOMG. You guys! This is a chance to get one of the very last copies of my Tokyo Guide! The Little Drom Store have opened up their online shop with a few of their copies! Head over here if you'd like one.

I can't wait to tell you more about this amazing store we found full of melamine plates. On thwe way back to Tokyo my suitcase was full with 'Hello Hawker' items. I can't wait to have a #HelloHawker picnic before it gets too cold.

In the time being, head over to my instagram or snapchat for pics and snippets.

You guys!!!

I LIVE for Fujifilm so you can just imagine when I received an email from Fujifilm press (and two orders for my Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide from them!!!) wanting to make contact with me and send over some goodies to play with! I MEAN....! I practically s c r e a m e d at my iMac!

The amazing girls at Fujifilm head office in Australia heard about my upcoming trip to Lithuania and Amsterdam and wanted me to have this X100T in time for the trip! Not only is it such a beautiful, beautiful camera, but it has wireless transfer which will be so invaluable for travelling so I can instagram pics live on location without having to go back to my laptop in the hotel. I can't wait to share some pics with you from the trip!

Love you Fujifilm! (and you brilliant girls in Sydney who made this all happen!)

P.S. For anyone who has the Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide - you can see the Fujifilm shop in the Harajuku section!
