 maryjulian by Jade Seah

A brand, a label, a style you'd find yourself falling in love with.

Becox the label, started out, i'd summarise it as, from Love.

Jade Seah created maryjulian out of a desire to design flattering, quality garments that make women look beautiful and most importantly, feel good while wearing them.

To be honest, when i took a first quick look at the copy points for this write up, i was having a really busy week, to the point, instead of replying emails everyday, i reply emails only once every 3 - 4 days. Badass not? So anyway. When i took my first quick look at the copy points, i am ashamed of myself to think "Grandmother story, indeed" Jade if you're ever reading this, i am sorry!!!

Becox this is one of the most touching story i've heard and i am happy Jade shares it with us!

"Mary and Julian are my grandparents, and theirs is to me the love story of a lifetime. They started dating in secret as the family objected to the relationship - Grandpa is 13 years older than Gran, and not a wealthy man. When word of their secret meetings reached the family’s ears, unbeknownst to Gran, Grandpa was told by Gran’s meddling aunt that she was already engaged to someone else and had been hiding this fact from him from the start. He was devastated and went quietly away.

In a time of no phones, pagers and mobiles, the matter was never clarified as false, and the two simply lost contact overs the years. More than three years went by, with neither having the heart to be with anyone else. As fate would have it, one day they happened to bump into each other on the street. The truth was cleared, they knew they wanted to be together for life, and they got married. They had five children and 13 grandchildren, and lived a happy and simple life together for over fifty years.

 My grandfather passed away three years ago, and Gran still feels the lost. Certain things, like taking a particular bus route that they used to enjoy together, or enjoying pizza and fried chicken on Sundays together, or even cooking certain dishes he used to love, still remind her very much of him. It’s this ‘never-ending love story’ that inspired me to create maryjulian, and their love inspired many of the designs for the label."

Jade's "Gran", Mary is a Peranakan lady and has always stressed the importance of being neat and presentable. Gosh i don't wanna think how i'd fair if i am born in a Peranakan family. I'd be the black sheep i'm sure. Lol. Rotten apple, literately. Smelly and dirty AND UNTIDY =X HAHA.

"You’d never catch her or even Grandpa, while he was still with us, even going to the nearby shops or market dressed sloppily. There’s always been a sort of basic minimum standard, like combing one’s hair and wearing clean and neatly pressed clothes."

So this is why Jade is taking "presentable" to another level! That on top of being presentable, we can feel beautiful. Although, i believe i can start on working on the hygiene and tidiness part first. Lolol.

But that's just me. Haha.

My tidy beautyroom lol.

Multi-colour knit pullover

I LOVE the crop-front, low back cutting! And also looooove the colour mixture max!!!

Love that it's so airy and the colours are so happy ^.^

If you're wondering, quality of the clothes is a given cox Jade herself handpicked all the items and have them altered, added/ remove stuff to the items before she puts them on herself, to make sure the fitting and cut is good. So just SHOP, it'd fit. Haha ^.^

Gotta love this flora denim shorts the most!!!

One of the most comfortable pair of denim shorts i have! ^.^ Love the fit as well!!!

Geometric Hex blouse

I think this top will be a great piece for working adults / teenagers! You all don't know only! Lol.

Check out my red floral pants!!! ^.^

Comes with a red belt =DDD

Alright, last of my face! Lolol.

Interesting opening of the shorts holes.

So try to remember if you can, when you get a piece of maryjulian, be happy Gran and Grandpa's Love happened =)

Japan: After-party and me being a tourist

Hello! I'm finally back with updates for Japan.

I don't know what feeling i have inside me when writing about Japan. I mean when i look at the pictures, i still can't really believe all that happened. But i'm happy cox it reminds me of how happy i was in Japan. But then it makes me a little bit emo too cox i feel so much gratitude for how things happen, for how, somehow, i was brought there.

I guess you gotta give it to Life. Life made it happen. And then.. We inject emotions into it.

And the good thing is we can actually choose how much of what we want to put in to events of our life. How much happiness do you want to put into this and that.. Or, how little. I don't know.

It's our call, everyday. To decide how much of what to put into what.

"Blah blah blah"

I know. Haha.

So, pictures =)

At the dinner after the EMODA event! Left-Right, with Ashley, Natalie, Kerina (Taiwanese model) beside me, Karina's friend from EMODA, Ivene and Cheesie!

Me, Kerina and Cheesie ^.^ Kerina is sooooo pretty =OOO Like really. Her face is small, eyes are huge, nose is sharp, and she is SO SKINNY. I mean, not like i am jealous but i could really use a little bit more of the small-face thing! Even Cheesie de face also so small!!! I need to fit in better! Lol.

Appetizer. Super healthy kind. BUT YUMS! Loveeee the spinach thingy with something like a miso peanut butter sauce!!!

With Ena Matsumoto, Natalie, Ashly ^.^ Nat and Ash are both from Hong Kong and it was soooo good they sat beside me along with Kerina!!! Cox we all could speak Mandarin! Haha.

All listening to the director of EMODA. He's such a humorous guy. Haha.

Fresh oysters that i heard was really good. Too bad i don't eat them!

All the vain girls in one shot! =D

This plate of meat came pink so i assumed it's beef so i didn't eat it too but then only when i was talking to Josh later then i realise it's pork! Then many other dishes were served but i was more occupied chatting with Nat and Ask and Kerina so no pictures!

Super good dessert to end the meal!!! LOVE the sugar coated bread!!! It's very simple but the Japanese make it so good. Haha. Or am i biased.

Chilling, adding each other up on Facebook and Instagram etc. Lolol.

Me and Kerina =D PRETTY HOR?!?!?!

And Cheesie come over our side to snap a pic before she went and became bff with Ena. LOL. So happy for her please. Imagine if i get to meet Stef Sun or Sammi Cheng and they talk to me over dinner. I'd be like not eating and i'd be like "Can i smell your hand?" HAHAHA.

Nat and Ash ^.^ Omg i hope i can see them if i ever go to Hong Kong!!! They say can bring me to places with exclusive shopping discount!!! Haha. I'd hold them to it.

All of us girls ^.^ Setting off for the after-party.

OMG NIGHTLIFE =OOOOO Lololol. I don't even attend nightlife event in Singapore! Japan is out to take all my first-times. Haha!

So Josh and i started walking around the streets to explore on our own and then..

DENG DENG DENG!!! One whole row of vending machines ^.^ Hahaha. Touristy not!

Went back to the hotel to rest a bit and change and head out for supper. Look! The coupon vending machine at their restaurant ^.^

We walked for 1 hours plus =____=" Finally settled down in a random restaurant. You know why we walk so long! Becox every shop looks good you can't decide which one to head into!!! And then when we finally decided to stop deciding, most of the shops are already closing.

Chou Joshua.

I a bit sad i didn't get to eat their skewers lor!!! Those grilled fresh right in front of you kind!

But it's okay!!! Cox the restaurant we settled down in also serve super nice food ^.^

While waiting for food. Lolol. Gotta whore my $9 furry jacket out.
