it was a peaceful run-away setting from the hustle bustles of the road opposite to it. & definitely a great place to snap some inspiring shots. There were more path tracks up but we didn't dare go any further eventhough we saw some two guys going up. It was starting to drizzle but I enjoyed the raindrops falling on me with the peace atmosphere around.

we had a 'date' with salvation army, taking a break from our hectic lifestyles. we took a short 961 bus ride from woodlands interchange there and were inevitably greeted by the scorching sun when we have arrived. it was unnormally busy there and many new clothes that put up on display. mainly traditional clothes were danggling everywhere since racial harmony is around the corner. anyhoots, we bought ourselves a daisy printed dress, black pencil skirt and both are in serious need for alteration to achieve a nice fit on us. the great part is that they cost us less than 10 bucks. it depends on your luck whether or not you're going to find exuberant deals at a thrift store. we believe anyone can have fun at thrift stores since there are no nosy salesperson to bug you and you can stay behind the hangers for as long as you want to. there's no hurry and that's what we love about thrift stores.
they had a great selection of bow & ties..& some with vintage prints. you can get one of these bows and glue it on your headband or something.
saw a few lovely vintage pieces, but we had to pass.
the books section were great. you just have to stand the dust, that's all.
talk about home furnishing.. i thought the gallery was great considering you can get them cheaper without forking too much on the deco.
this small tapestry frame is cute. notice how it's a little japanese clothes factory.there're a small selection of cameras you can find. but dream on if you're looking for a polaroid or some ancient holga. it's more of film cameras but then again, there's no guarantee they're in working condition.one downside of purchasing something from a thrif store ...
the clothes were okay, you can get good vintage quality if you're lucky. you can drop by the place once in a while as they stock quite regularly. there was this glamour 80's dress hanging by. it had really lovely pleats & it seems like someone on facehunter would wear those.
It was drizzling when we finished browsing the store. We got a bag of chips & some drinks from cold storage and continued exploring down the area. to our astonishment, we found a really great notstagic spot to hang out ... to be continued...

i still have yet to get my copy of coldplay's viva la vida album. i have mixed feelings about it. i can totally not listen to them anymore or just get over that music evolves time to time. just look at radiohead; they started out playing bland brit-pop at first, now they've evolved into a band of their own. if anyone would say 'creep' is their fav. track from them, i would have just died there. anyyywayy, with everyone's going indie with their music. what happen to the major labels, CD sales? it's an evolution in music again. no one's buying CDs and everyone's getting their copy online. first it was radiohead releasing their album on their website with prices that fans can voluntarily quote. and then coldplay's giving free download of their new single. & now nine inch nails providing a free download to their latest new album. yes unbelievably the whole album with 10 new tracks. freaking awesome or what? you know what, in my ideal world, music would be free but that would have never happened.
i know im blabbering music and it's fashion unrelated but i just post random stuffs here.

omgoshhhh... if you haven't heard already, the IPHONE is finally coming to singapore officially! it's really rare for me to go gugugaga over electronics products but i've been dying for an iphone ever since i've been a user of the classic ipod. the iphone this time would be a muchmuch updated 3G iphone! it's faster, better and yes, slimmer! Check out the details here!
with the iphone, i do not have to carry two gadgets around plus all the digging through in my bag. im glad the new 3G Iphone allows other kind of earphones to be plugged in! so you can still plug your favourite sennheiser headphones or whatever.
oh anyhows, my brother found out that you can actually RESERVE YOUR VERY OWN IPHONE through this singtel's website here. i reserved mine and i can't wait to get my hands on them !

i discovered these buttons from a BUTTONS HEAVEN. there were like hundreds of buttons in the shop! you can't even decide which one you would buy! & it's WAYYYY affordable than the ones at Spotlight!
if you keep your eyes peeled, you can spot some vintage ones. these are so ideal for vintage granny earrings or chiffon tops :)
The shop offers more than just buttons, it actually sells sewing supplies so it's heaven for fashion students. The prices are not too bad, we paid $2 for 6 buttons :) I think spotlight would have sold like 50 cents -$1 for each button.
pretty sequins!
i have an obsession for fringes recently.when i saw these fringe tassles, i almost wanted to get it. but i realized i haven't got an idea what to do with it. probably when i get inspired with an idea i would get them.
i love this shot! it's sort of have a 'nolstagic' feel to it. i don't know remind me of the days when my mom was still using her old 'singer' sewing machine.
they sell a whole bunch of zippers too..
we recommend the place for its endless range of buttons ! the auntie wouldn't mind you browsing through them for hours because she's too busy doing her alteration service. the prices are affordable so it wouldn't be a daylight robbery for you. hah!
how to get there:
Blk 6A Woodlands Centre Road
#01-326
It's nearby to the woodlands checkpoint but it's pretty hard to find the place if you're not familiar to woodlands. so do ask around for a sewing shop because it's the only one around there. oh it's closed on mondays yea!
