My Sunny Sundays

 

 

Sundays are always V.G.Y. photoshoot days!

J & I will usually head for brunch after a shoot because we will be so damn fungry. Doing a photoshoot is like…so energy-intensive.

Went to Prive @ Keppel Bay Drive. The scenery is so..chillax. I can sit there forever if only the Sun never gets too hot haha.
Takes stress off my mind. Guys reading this, time to bring your girlfriend for a good Sunday brunch! :)

So sorry, no photos taken as……I completely forgotten to do so once the food arrived

SO FUNGRY OK!!!

Here comes another weekend; a beautiful Sunday after a new VGY shoot! :)

We went to Modesto’s @ Vivocity outlet – also with a chillax ambience haha

And we always order Costiera :) The wood-fired pizza is realllllyyyy good!

We only ordered this pizza as..it was close to dinner time! Not intending to have pizza for dinner! We have better eateries to hit! And did I mention before Modesto’s, we went to Balmore Mall for Waffletown waffles? Don’t know how much we can eat so much after a shoot.

This is unhealthy man…

Look at the view – it was so super breezy and relaxing. Takes stress off our minds. Both of us are like busy busy busy from Mon to Sat. So Sundays like this are very precious teehee. How do you spend your Sundays? I am really curious to know haha

Took a long time to decide before I set my sights on getting red for the dslr ;)
Always see black cameras…boring isn’t it?

HOW DO YOU FIND THIS SHOOT??????
*anxious*

It was damn hard preparing the floral background and shopping for THIS IDEA. Do you know how exasperating and tiring it is haha. And then making that table hang from the ceiling. J always pushes me to do something different for every V.G.Y. shoot.

“Tell me about the concept for your next shoot”
“You need to do something different”
”I hate your collage photo on the main page of VGY for every collection, why so many photos squeeze together I totally hate it tell me whats e rationale”
”You have to be different to stand out”
”Put in more effort”
”You want to make it good, do it well all the way, don’t gimme half bucket”
“Doing all the work yourself again? When are you hiring ppl?”
“Go look at more magazines and see how other models pose. Your poses are repetitive and horrible”

WIN.

THIS, is how hard J pushes me for every collection – like a devil’s advocate. So it is pretty stressful..but, in a good way :)

But then again, I need to hear from all my customers :]
How are you liking the changes?
Anything you want me to improve on?
Are the photos ok?
Can you see the clothes properly?
Are my descriptions sufficient?

Let me know! :) You can email me at vaingloriousyou@gmail.com to let me know how we are doing so I can improve V.G.Y. and serve all of you better! :*)

If you are in love with the dresses in the photo above, you can check out V.G.Y. KissJane or Vainpot. It sells out pretty quickly in KissJane Citylink! :) The cut is awesome and it is in almost similar fabric to the actual Zara piece retailing above $100!

And lastly…my pretty stand-in model for V.G.Y. concept shoot collection who was so friendly and amicable throughout the entire shoot! Grabbed some photos from her FB to show you all! She is stunning!

How do you find her? :) Should I use her as my permanent model?

  5. yea, i think J totally pushes you so well that in all honestly, you're my favourite blogshop to look at pictures whenever you launch.

    Photos are always SO pretty, so much effort put into it. But do bare in mind (as this has happened to me a few times), i got too engrossed with how pretty you look n pose, and how pretty the pictures were, it took the attention away from the clothes! Should always have a few shots to "showcase" the clothes.

    Also, no hate to your new model, very pretty and all. but i still like your modeling, it is what makes vgy after all :)

  9. hi! Can I know which studio you went for VGY shoot?

  10. Hey Tricia,

    Please do not use another model as I think it will cause a lost in the entire VGY vibe and all.

    You are doing very well yourself!

    No offence, Sindy Ang is really gorgeous but I prefer you x 100!

    Stay Happy and hope to see you dancing again!

    You're an inspiration to many!

  22. Hi R! :) Thank you so much for your feedback dear! However, I am hoping to take a backseat in V.G.Y. shoots so I can see a better picture of how this business is running you see! :) Sometimes when you are too involved you don't get to see things from a different perspective. Not to worry thou! Just injecting a little bit of something different in V.G.Y. shoots so my customers see someone new for a while! ;)
    And...too busy to go back lancing lancing haha :p

  23. Hello dear! :) The yellow ribbon is from a shop in ION ORCHARD near Muji. Can't remember what is the name of the shop offhand but it sells cutesy and girly stuff like notebooks, pencil cases etc! :)

  24. Wah your bf like sergeant sia ! but that everything you two did paid off because im touched by the personal touch VGY has been giving all this time


    Thumbs up !

    ReplyDelete
  25. How much is the rental at Bali Lane? Very nice photos! Keep it up! Can really see the amount of effort you put in :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Aww no dear :( I still dont have the 'Go previous' word all the way down there. heh thanks for being so nice !

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hi Tricia, may I know where u got ur glasses? It's with degree right? And how much is it? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  28. hey tricia, I found out abt VGY quite recently but was instantly drawn to the way you model your clothes. in a way it is relatable because your 155cm (no offense) yet you look so good in your clothes and maxi. I'm around the same height, so when I look at tall models wearing beautiful clothes, I would wonder whether it would look as good on short me. so pls pls pls don't stop modeling your clothes, you give short girlies great motivation and proof that we can look good too. your stand-in model look great but it's kinda artsy and high-end that we don't feel the connection.. Just a penny of my thoughts hope it doesn't offend you in any way. It's great to see you push yourself to greater heights but don't lose the essence..

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hello! We've got the same dslr, same colour too! Hahaha.
    Sindy is so so pretty! But i think she shouldnt be a permanent model for VGY. You are the best representative of VGY and its clothes and services, your customers have alr associated you with the brand! Maybe she can be your temp model or when you need a friend in front of the camera ;)
    Anyway just wanna let you know the Maybelline Tiered Chiffon Tunic in Dirty Mustard has the description for Pandora Blue. You might wanna change it!

  30. Hi Mef dear! Read your long feedback from the recent collection but unable to reply from there so im doing it here :)
    Thank you so much for always being so encouraging and giving so heartwarming feedback :*) I really appreciate it and I thank you sincerely for your support in V.G.Y.! Big hugs!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hi dear, the rental is about $20odd for weekends. I am not very sure about the exact pricing as I do not ask for receipts! You can head down to enquire and check with them ;)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hi Shenay dear! I just checked V.G.Y. homepage and right at the bottom of the page, there is a "go earlier" button which you can click! :) Let me know if you still can't find it and I will email you a screenshot of the position of this button ;)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hello there! My glasses are from an optical shop in the east! ;) It comes with degree! I paid about $300 if I rmb correctly! :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hello there Mintmilktea! Thank you for your honest feedback :):) I really appreciate it as I agree with what you have brought up.
    Sometimes when one is in the midst of making improvements, she may risk going off-track & may not have a good perspective of what customers really want to see. So I need reminders from time to time and you are right about the importance of not losing the essence! <3

  35. Hi Celesta dear! Thank you for your honest feedback! :)
    I have taken into consideration all the feedback received and I will position Sindy as 1 of my concept shoot models for the time being! :)
    I will see what I can do in the long run that can satisfy all customers!
    Oh! And thank you for informing me about the wrong description for Maybelline! I am still unable to login to the lj and make changes to the post! I will do so as soon as lj get on tracks again! ;);)

  36. Tricia, I totally agree with what the customer said about your height being relatable. I really don't mean it as an offense to u but ya we are of the same height and is what people call short. I was the one who left a comment a few mths ago abt whether short girls are able to wear maxi's or not. I still feel I look like a clown in maxi's but you pull if off well. If Sindy were to be ur permanent model, I'm afraid I will not patronise u as much as I only buy frm blogshops where the model is around this height or else the fitting won't be right. You are a successful girl, rock on babe :)

  37. Aww you misunderstood me :( I was actually referring to this blog, because I wanted to see if you had any post on make up tutorial ! :) I like your bright red lips though!
