Hi everyone! I know it's been so long. I kind of miss Singapore too. Definitely missing the food. Oh how I wished I could have laksa or chicken rice or carrot cake at whim. Oh well, at least we still managed to have curry and 'bak-kut-teh' recently. Here's just a short post on our upcoming collection which is really colourful and pretty. I wished I had brought a piece over though. But I couldn't decide which colour I wanted to keep so I kind of forgot about it. I absolutely love the sash and the buttons running down the front of the skirt. And of course, the five yummy colour shades with contrasting ribbon sashes. Don't think I'd post up the individual studio shots for this post because they take some time to load.

BUT, I shall make it up by revealing what are the stuff that our models do during photoshoots. Oh and yes, this was the first photoshoot that Isabel joined us for. If you all recall, she was our grand winner (Voter's Choice) for Marcellie's Next Top Model. Thus, we decided to have her featured on upcoming photoshoots. She will also be doing a special feature in one of our upcoming photoshoots so fans of hers, stay tuned! I must say that she has quite some flair for modelling considering how it was her very first photoshoot. Kudos to Isabel!

Alrite, and so feast your eyes upon our 'behind the scenes' shots below. And don't forget that we'll be launching this collection on Wednesday!

Additional responsibilities of being a Marcellie male model/ambassador

(HAHAHA...)

Practicing, hopefully.

Either that, or just naturally good at being vain?

So pretty!!!

(And if you all still do not know: Isabel, Yitty, Bao, Maverlyn, Lovelle (L-R))

The girls again...

This was actually a pseudo photoshoot session because it was just a decoy to set up Bao and JJ's birthday surprise.

Oh yes, they're all wearing Marcellie ambassador tees.

See the cute pair of lovebirds printed on the shirts?

Alright, that's basically all I have for this preview.

I apologise for not hearing much from me nowadays because I have been really caught up with so many things. But as soon as I start settling down here, I'd be sure to be blogging more often. (P.S. Because it's really pretty over here. And I am not lying/exaggerating. Shall post pictures as proof soon. So do keep reading/liking us on Facebook/checking out our website)

With much love (from Oslo)

Recently, we did an outdoor photoshoot featuring our latest pieces that we brought in. And in commemoration of the beloved KTM, we decided to shoot at the stretch of tracks near The Rail Mall. And the photos turned out really really really pretty. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime because after passing that place for so many times while taking 184, I have never seen so many people visiting the site as compared to the day we had the shoot. We had to keep stopping and positioning ourselves a certain way so as not to capture random people in the photos. But nonetheless, it was a really really fun experience and the best part was that we got really nice photos out of it.

The shoot featured Nicola Polkadot Romper & Holly Pinafore. These are my two favourite pieces because they are absolutely so cute. Nicola comes in three happy summer colours - Mustard, Pink and Baby Blue. I can't even decide which of the three is my favourite because the colours are all so yummy. As for Holly, it's actually a Zara inspired piece and also comes in three colour shades. Stay tuned to our upcoming collections to catch these two lovely items.

And of course, we haven't forgotten about you guys. We also featured our latest mens items in the outdoor shoot. As you probably would have known from our previous mens collection, we brought in a new batch of shirts and also our debut range of shorts. In stylish and trendy designs. My favourite piece for the guys in our batch of new items would probably have to be the ankle length pants. My favourite colour being the one in sapphire blue, as seen in the outdoor shoot photos. The colour looks amazing and the material is comfy. Of course, I haven't actually tried on the pants but M kept a piece for himself and he's usually very particular about the comfort of his clothing. And so I assume from his lack of comments, it should be comfy. I remember how he used to not wear the shoes that I bought him although those were the nicest pair of shoes (loafers) he has because they are stiff. Guys will be guys I guess, never as vain as girls. Haha.

Ok, I shall blog about our upcoming collection since I've already mentioned my favourite piece of the month. I'm not kidding when I say that Nicola is such a cute piece. Just take a look at how they look on our beloved models. I really must say that our models are really getting better with each photoshoot. Bao's no longer so shy, Lovelle pulls out amazing smiles and Yitty always has different poses each time. And I'm so proud of them and of course happy.

Do look at our collection for more crazy photos these three took at the shoot. There's always this warm, fuzzy feeling whenever I look through the photoshoot film. So nostalgic but I really really appreciate what all of them do for the brand. Teehee.

Alright, I should be getting back to my books now. Taking Master's modules here in Oslo so I shan't be complacent.

Hope y'all have a good week ahead and I sure do hope that our colourful and cheerful Collection 10 will brighten your week!

Here's just a sneak peak to our latest collection which will be launched later in the day at 6.30pm.

Visit us at our online store to view the entire catalogue. In the meanwhile, you could feast your eyes on our dashing models and also the latest upcoming items.

Hello hello.

It is so very late and I am on the verge of concussing in my chair right now. But I shall be a responsible person and continue this preview post for all you dear people out there.

(I shall side track abit first, ok! Teehee.) Woke up at 9 and I had to really drag myself out of bed because I was so tired. 'Cos there was just this whole long list of to-do's waiting for me.

1/ Pack items for sponsorship fitting

2/ Pack items for photoshoot

3/ Pack items for mailing

4/ etc etc etc

Haha. Then lugged the items and made my way to town. To do some shopping :D At Forever21. I used to be such a big fan of F21 (I like to browse their online catalogue but never ever got down to actually purchasing any of it.) And then came that faithful day, when I made my very first purchase 'cos I 'tompang-ed' my friend's shopping cart. But guess what, even as I got the S, it couldn't fit and was too big! Sad much, and that declared my non-allegiance to F21. Haha. What is worse is that the retail boutiques here also run out of the small sizes really quick too. So there's pretty much only the large sizes left and there goes any chance of getting anything that I like too. But I still have to say that F21 does carry really nice clothes sometimes, just a pity I can't fit.

Nonetheless, I had to still head down to F21 because I received vouchers from my dearest friends for my 21st birthday! THANK YOU FWOC 11/12 & Nerissa. :D

Haha. And guess what? I actually spent a good 1.5 hours at the outlet in 313@Somerset. That's how I am. I always take a super long time to decide and I don't buy stuff on impulse (or at least I don't think so. Haha.) And I am sure alot of you would be familiar with this question, "Should I buy this?" Yes. That's a question I ask my friends (or whoever's ill-fated enough to be accompanying me on shopping trips) and myself alot (if I'm shopping alone) before I actually settle on anything. But the strange thing is that most of the time, I already know the answer - the item that I get would most often be the thing that caught my eye first. I guess I must be a firm believer of 'love at first sight'. Haha.

Yup, and thankful enough, I did manage to get 3 items that I like quite a bit! The past trips to F21 have been quite unfruitful. Haha. I have no pictures of the items I bought now but I shall share them soon enough.

Oh which reminds me, I have digressed quite a bit. Yes, our new collection's gonna be up tomorrow afternoon at 12pm. So do catch this launch, especially if you're looking for something a tad bit formal 'cos this launch is gonna be an executive special!!! :D

Here are just some photos for preview purposes!!!

Yolanda Lined Front Dress

Noelle Striped Bodycon

Joyce Midlined Scallop Dress

Fiona Pleated Strap Dress

Cecilia Colourblock Workdress

Hope you enjoy the launch and have a very HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!

This past week has been one awesome week!!! It started off with our crazy photoshoot last friday with our entire full crew down at the studio. The place sure was one crowded mess - hangers after hangers of clothes scheduled for the shoot, 'done' items strewn over the racks as the models tried to rush into their next suit, dozens of shoes (since our lovely models brought their own pairs, some even brought multiple pairs!!!), accessories, our own personal bags. I should really take a picture of how messy we get during the shoots for y'all to witness next time!!!

Yes, speaking of the shoot, ALL SEVEN MODELS WERE PRESENT!!! FULL CREW FTW alright. That also includes a special guest model we had for the shoot. Tsktsk, I shall keep it a secret for now. Anyway, this mega spectacular shoot that I'm so boasting about right now will only launch sometime next week. In the meantime, feast your eyes on the wonderful pieces we have in store for you in our latest collection (Which btw was supposed to be the highlight of this post. I meant to do a preview but got too carried away updating y'all on what's been up for us lately.)



See a new face? Yes, presenting to you, LOVELLE!!! <3 Doesn't she look so sweet? (She doesn't like to channel 'cute' nor 'sweet' but I shall nonetheless describe her like that 'cos she really looks so awesome.) I am really so thankful to have her on board our team and sincerely hope that she'll enjoy her time with us. Well, her presence during a subsequent photoshoot (the mega one coming soon) is perhaps an affirmation already! :D This collection is all about SUMMER. I know pre-fall is almost due but I just couldn't resist bring y'all all these cute colourful shorts. Afterall, we're still in tropical sunny Singapore and these items are sure to be functional 365 days of the year!!! :D I gotta head out for a sponsorship fitting right now. So, enjoy the photos first and I promise I'd continue this post later :D

This picture's so cute! The two of them look like they've been best friends forever or something. And I have no idea how Lovelle came up with that pose but I think they look adorable. Haha.

Telepathy or what? (Look at their hands.) And what was even funnier was that when they had to pose, they actually did the exact same thing so many times! It started off with us (photographer and I) bursting out into laughter when they actually tilted their heads towards the same side. Then when we pointed that out to them, their next pose was also identical. Epic.

Selene Balloon Sleeeved Dress

Comes in Mint, Fuchsia (as seen on Baoyue) & Mustard (as seen on Lovelle)

Fits UK 6-8

I love this dress so much that I even kept one for myself, in mint. Then I realised I made such a bad choice 'cos I've got so many items in green/mint shades!!! Mustard is really pretty too so oh well, I guess I just have to swallow my regret! Haha.

Anthea Lace Rimmed Shorts

Comes in Classic Black, Baby Pink & Cream (as seen on Lovelle)

Fits UK 6-8

I am secretly such a big fan of lace. And thus, these shorts also. It's just sad that M isn't the biggest fan of lace, which I always find to be such a big paradox because of how he likes girls to look dainty and girly. Isn't lace supposed to be the 'girliest' thing ever?

Belinda Pleated Maxi Skirt

Comes in Pretty Pink, Mustard & Electric Blue (as seen on Lovelle)

Fits UK 6-8

Gotta love all the colours that this skirt comes in. The colours are so yummy and they make me so happy. I guess that's what summer is all about. It's so perfect for that lazy day out at the beach or at school when you don't feel in the mood to wear covered shoes or heels 'cos the skirt pairs so extremely well with that classic pair of comfort flip flops we all own.

Peggy Chiffon Toga

Comes in Mint, Baby Pink & Orange (as seen on Lovelle)

Fits UK 6-8

I honestly didn't expect this dress to turn out so lovely. The colours, the cut, the simplicity. I love how this dress plays on simpicity without looking sloppy. The slight details on the toga sleeve makes the dress so adorable and ideal for a simple day at school.

Veronica Checkered Cullotes

Comes in Blue, Cream, Red & Light Blue (as seen on Lovelle)

Fits UK 6-8

Huge fan of shorts? I am for sure one. I love the versatility of shorts because they can be matched accordingly to achieve different looks. I often go to school with a basic tank tucked in a pair of shorts paired with my favourite weave belts when I feel to lazy to dress up. And if I ever need to meet someone for any appointments after school, I just simply slip out of my flip flops and throw on a pair of heels plus a scarf/jacket and I'm good to go. Seriously, shorts are a must-have in this climate of ours here in sunny Singapore.

---------------

Alrite, as promised, I'm here to deliver the continuation to this post. So I also added more pictures and also my random comments about them above!

Anyhow, remember we had our DAY OUT WITH MARCELLIE @ SCAPE event recently?

It was such a huge success and I thank each and everyone of you who came over to our booth. We certainly enjoyed ourselves meeting all you people and helping y'all out at the booths. Our models also came down to help! Although they couldn't manage to stay the full day, we really appreciated them making the effort to pop by and pitch in 'cos honestly, they were in no way obliged to do so.

And here are just some photos of that day. (Pardon the low resolution because we were so busy and I just managed to snap these photos with my phone.)

Winning smile from Bao <3

This cheeky girl actually caught me taking a picture and immediately went all smiles. Talk about models being ever ready for the camera. Haha. Anyway, this girl had to work but still came down to support us. We felt the love. Thanks Bao!!!

Someone paying careful attention to the many customers who visited our booth!

Alright, maybe not. Haha. Ok I'm kidding. JJ was in fact, the first to arrive to help us out. He was like exclaiming over how he had never ever sold anything before and there, he was all proud to be making all those sales that day. Haha. Thanks awesome boy for coming around to help us out!!!

Beloved Maverlyn. I know she looks really pissed off in this picture but this is in NO WAY a reflection of how enthusiastic this girl was in helping out that day! Giving out flyers, choosing the nicest pieces to display at our booth, entertaining customers, she was so extremely eager and pleasant. We were so glad to have her around because we know she is in the midst of her busy preparations for her major exams. Thanks for sacrificing your precious study time to come help us Mave!!! <3

That was our Day Out With Marcellie! Speaking of events, we had our charity flea sometime back and it sure was a success. Managed to raise about $300 for Melrose Home from the sale of preloved items. And we sure are so happy to have been able to be of help!

I think this post has been long enough and so I shall retire to the comfort of my bed now. It's been such an awesome week for Marcellie and I am so looking forward to more awesome weeks.

Hello everyone again! I'm back again to bring you the preview of the men's collection. Our DEBUT MENSWEAR COLLECTION! Once again, I sincerely apologise for the delay in getting this up.

There's probably a dozen other designs up for grabs in this collection and I shall keep the suspense for now. So do remember to keep checking back for updates and of course, our launches!

Thank you for all your kind support people!

Hi everybody!
As promised, this is gonna be a preview post on our upcoming collection. There's actually so much that I wanna share with all of you about our latest photoshoot but I shall keep this post focused on the previews. And as we mentioned, this collection is gonna be a surprise so here's unravelling the big surprise we have for all of you!!! :D





Yes, we did a studio shoot! And yes, we brought in the guys too!!! Don't you think the photos look awesome. All our models look so pretty, cute and dashing and we're so proud of them for their awesome film produced.

And of course, we didn't just rope in the guys just for fun (although we really did have a lot of fun at the studio). We're actually launching our very first debut men's collection this time round too. So guys, watch out for the awesome pieces coming your way.

Girls, these are the sweet treats coming your way this collection:

Amelia Gold Buckle Toga

Comes in Navy (as seen on Maverlyn), Mint & Daffodil

Fits UK 6-8

This dress is so simple yet classy. We like how it is pleated at the bust for a slight edge of detail that doesn't complicate the dress unnecessarily

Candice Patterned Halter Dress

Fits UK 6-8

An extremely happy frock that is perfect for that summer season outing with best friends. Put on your colourful straw hats and head down to the beach to soak up all that summer fun.

Carmen Picnic Frock

Fits UK 6-8

Another cute dress with simple details that we absolutely adore. Check out those cute gold buttons that run down the dress and also the white frills along those cute peter-pan collars.

Chloe Runway Skirt

Comes in Devil Red (as seen on Maverlyn), Olive & Black

Fits UK 6-8

Who says office wear has to be dull, solemn and boring. Spice up your closet with this simple chic skirt without too much effort. Skirt also comes with two complimentary belts (not featured in photo).

Ellen Convertible Dress

Fits UK 6-8

Another classy dress that will definitely be a head-turner with its peekaboo shoulder strap. We also absolutely adore how the dress steers away from traditional colours and comes in a bright cheerful seagreen.

Esther V-Back Skater Dress

Comes in Fuchsia (as seen on Baoyue), Dusty Pink, White & Mint

Fits UK 6-8

This was Baoyue's choice pick of the collection. Made of soft chiffon, this dress flows with the breeze. We like how it can be dressed up (for that evening party) by pairing it with heels or dressed down (for a simple date) by pairing it with ballerina flats. Comes with sash and flower brooch.

Gilian Polkadot Cullotes

Comes in Black (as seen on Baoyue), Dusty Pink & Green

Fits UK 6-8

Getting ready for all the summer lovin'? This pair of shorts is definitely a must-have. Just look at those cute polkadot prints and its intricate lace detailed bottom of its inner lining. Comes with white ribbon belt (not featured in photo).

Hannah Lace Petal Top

Comes in Classic Black & Pretty Pink (as seen on Maverlyn)

Fits UK 6-10

A versatile top that can be paired with different bottoms to achieve various looks. Tuck it into high-waisted skirt for a classic professional look or pair it with shorts or jeans for a simple day out at the mall or school.

Lynette Pleated Toga

Fits UK 6-8

Throw on a cardigan or blazer when wearing it to work for a professional look. Do away with the two after office hours as you go meet your girlfriends or your beau for a dinner.

Nerissa V-Cut Dress

Fits UK 6-8

Another extremely comfortable dress that is perfect for work and play. Play with scarfs, accessories and shoes to achieve various looks for this extremely versatile dress.

Sasha Rose Front Frock

Comes in Rose (as seen on Maverlyn), Navy & Mint

Fits UK 6-8

A super pretty dress with extremely beautiful neckline details. We love how the many folded roses line the straps and bust area to transform this dress into a perfect attire for your romantic dinner with your date.

Steffi Printed Chiffon Dress

Comes in Beige (as seen on Maverlyn) & Pink

Fits UK 6-8

Go all 'artsy-fartsy' with this dress that is colourful, bright and funky. We like the burst of colours that has been printed across the dress and how the neckline is lined with a contrasting colour to further add to the array of colours.

Tina Casual Chiffon Top

Fits UK 6-8

A basic top that can also be paired with high-waisted skirts, denim shorts or jeans for different effects. The ribbon detail adds a little drama to the basic piece without going over the top.

Wow, this has really been a very long post! I hope you girls will enjoy this collection as much as we have 'cos we really had so much fun at the photoshoot.

As for guys, stay tuned for the preview that will also be up later in the day.

Both collections will then launch tomorrow. So watch this space and also get connected with us on Facebook & Twitter for latest updates!

As for now, I shall get around to settling some other stuff. We're involved in so many orientation camps as sponsors and there's pretty much alot of things that has come our way this holiday period. Thank you all for your kind support towards Marcellie and we promise to do our best for all of you every collection. At the same time, I would also like to appeal for your support at our charity flea that will be held this upcoming Sunday (17 July 2011) at *Scape. Proceeds will go towards Melrose Girls Home. Do join us in spreading the love!!!
