floral imprint.

# vintage dress, sister's belt, bangle from forever 21, converse sneakers and uniqlo socks.
yup, i forgot to turn off the date imprint on my film camera. haha so apparently, it's 1994 ;)

back to my roots

my dearest NTBgals, i've finally squeezed in some time to produce a solid 12 piece collection on the shop! so head on over ;) (click to shop) we shot the whole collection downstairs against one of those white walls at the HDB void deck. No studio lights, no backdrops, just stripped bare.
shot a simple lookbook with an Olympus LT zoom 105 camera that i bought 2nd hand for like $10.00 haha. hope you enjoy the collection :)

alrighty, heading out for a test shoot soon! excited to be working with a new model and delanie!! follow the {nicolethen studio} facebook or my instagram ("nicolethen") for live updates from the shoot.

hello michael kors, was lovely seeing you in person ;)

graphic tee floral mini

oh no!! i just realized i jotted down her details in a note-app on my iphone and then i deleted the app recently because i didn't really like it :( i lost her email. oh no, babe if you ever happen to visit my blog or website please email me!

if i'm not wrong...digging through my poor memory...her name's Celine. (fingers cross hope i'm right). yeeps, if i'm wrong i'm so sorry! i have a memory of a a a...forgetful person :P

# shot on film

coffee junkie (cafe)

good morning everyone!! haha hope you had a good night's rest. aren't weekends the best? (ok, never thought i'd say this. there was a period of time when i actually couldn't wait to get back to work...i mean, i still love my work and all haha i just really enjoy the break ;))

i'm really happy for all these quaint small cafes like forty hands (whom i've blogged about before) and the PLAIN (pictures up soon!). In terms of profitability, i really hope they're doing really really well. cause, they're popularity is really increasing and if it's too crowded then...it's not as nice anymore. so i hope if they have more customers, that they will have the capital to open up another small cafe with good food and most importantly, good coffee.

if only my saturdays could be spent having a coffee and sandwich at a cafe. but if i'm not wrong, saturdays are insanely crowded. so that's a no no for me (side track) did you know, that when i was younger, before i found photography, i actually really wanted to set up a cafe? because i LURVE cafes. i worked at cedele for a period of time and it was a blast! so who knows, haha maybe in the future i'll be able to have my own cafe :P (day dreaming here, cause the start up cost for F&B is actually insanity...just putting things in perspective here haha)

and it comes to a close

and men's fashion week comes to a close. i think out of the little shows i managed to attend, my favourite show has got to be ISSUE. the styling, the runway, the music, the flags hanging from the top and the clothes - i just loved the whole concept. i like it when people take the time to make the experience encapsulating rather then just a simple runway (although, yes i understand, cost can be an issue).

so this time round, i decided to take my film camera instead of a digital camera. because, maybe it will invoke a different feeling? or give a different "angle"? i don't know. but it was just a fun challenge i gave myself haha. so instead of having my pictures uploaded onto the blog immediately, it will take some time. so you'll see me talking about MFW11 even after it has ended. (a roll of film is still in my bag undeveloped from before MFW11 haha)
