The weekend was jam-packed with activities and it was great meeting up with friends and family to share to joy & love of Christmas together :) Hope everyone had a good time celebrating the festivities too!
Firstly, THANK YOU ALL for your interest in the Festive Gift Bags Giveaway in the previous entry :D Am secretly happy there were so many responses (about 800ish including emails) and I appreciate the really lovely & encouraging comments you've left! Have left them unscreened in order to acknowledge the receipt of your comment, but do let me know if you're uncomfortable with showing your email addresses, I'll have your comment deleted. Unfortunately I only managed to pack 10 gift bags this time and have already contacted those that I've picked randomly. Promise I'll come up with more giveaways soon :)
Also, so sorry I can't reply to all the comments in the previous entry but to answer the common questions - the lace dress that I wore to the Blog Awards is a Love, Bonito sample and we'll be releasing something similar in both a dress & top version come mid-Jan. The floral romper is a Topshop piece and we have something similar coming up in our first Orient Collection tomorrow. Our preview is now up on Facebook! Lastly, the knotted skirt you girls have been asking me about is slated to be released first week of Jan in 6 awesome colours ;) And if you have anything else you might wanna ask, do leave a comment (click on KISSES below to do so), or feel free to email me at belluspuera@gmail.com.

And here's a massive photo update from the festive weekend!
Christmas dumplings to inject some sweetness in everyone! You guys ought to try York's Peppermint Patties, they're yums! :)
Team dinner at The Foundry! So thankful for these girls and the hard work they put in for Love, Bonito :)
So much fun at our Christmas dinner but was missing Jie like crazy! We were fooling around with the Chipmunk function on Photobooth teehee everyone should give it a try - it's hilariously cute! And I'm so glad Fred's Mum managed to pick out pieces from our studio. So happy being able to dress my mums :)
The gifts & personalized cards on the office desk :')
Festive Outfit in Love, Bonito's Smith Velvet Skirt. Love how comfy it is :D

Almost died laughing playing Raving Rabbids on the Kinect at Cher's. These girls are my happy pills and I'm so glad we managed a mini staycation this holiday!
Brunch the next day at Hatched! Was looking forward to having some solid egg-inspired meals but was quite disappointed with the dishes :( The Hollandaise sauce was too light and it made everything rather bland. On the up side, they serve good coffee using Papa Palheta's beans!
Then we managed to squeeze time to head over to the studio to get dresses for our Christmas dinner! Another super comfy festive outfit with my favourites from Love, Bonito :)
And we even found time for baking!! Our brownies were splendid (crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside) thanks to our Masterchef Mandy Leong ;)
The bestest Christmas spread EVER! We also had a jolly good time learning line dancing from the folks and singing along to Christmas Carols with our very own Santa. Best part, we were all decked out in LB ;)

Gift exchange with the pals :) This year's plans were really so impromptu and hopefully next year's will be even better with everyone around!
--
To top it all off, my favourite girl Alessia is BACK! :D Cannot be happier to spend Christmas at my favourite hang-out and to finally get a serving of Aunty Aaliyah's homemade lasagna. I really hope to be a superb host like her one day ;)
This lil lion has been missed!
These guys too :'''( Glad we managed to Skype though. I MISS YOU BOTH LIKE CRAZEE!

I hope to be able to update again this week, otherwise, here's an advanced HAPPY NEW YEAR to y'all! Thank you again to those who've left your feedback about my blog, appreciate it all x
There will be no white flag above my door, I'm in love & always will be.

hi vel!
may i know what model your chanel sandals here (http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq176/bonitochico98/Vel%20Personal/WH3.jpg) are? also, how much are they? thank you!
Hi vel! Where did you get the nude pink dress you wore in the last few pictures?
Hey just wanted to ask if you've been taking inspiration for your pieces from Lulu's pieces. Like the forest green knotted skirt in this post and the black dress you wore to the awards? They're really similar to some of the pieces seen from the website! In any case the LB items have been becoming really more edgy and catering to a lot of different styles and I really like them! Keep up the good work (:
