My Jotter Book

23 November 2014 in SHOP, SINGAPORE

Last month when I was in Singapore, I discovered a charming little shop called My Jotter Book. The store sells vintage fashion and accessories and I like it so much I had to share! This shop is perfect if you’re a fan of vintage clothing, quirky accessories and book clutches!

*UPDATE: My Jotter Book has closed. 

Speaking of book clutches, I have been pretty much obsessed with them since they were first released. It’s just the perfect combination of some of my greatest loves in life: books, bags and fashion. So since the Olympia Le-Tan clutches and the ones Kate Spade did far exceeded my budget, the only thing I could do was admire various clutches through my computer screen… until now! :D

I wasn’t intending on buying anything really, I just wanted to drop by to take a look at the p.s. Besitos handmade book clutches that My Jotter Book stocks because I’m a long-time fan of p.s. Besitos! The book clutches are even prettier when I see it up close, it’s soft and it looks like an actual book! I was really hoping to see the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ edition but it was sold out. Maybe next time. :) By the way, if you’re interested, each p.s. Besitos book clutch cost S$99.90.

Believe me, I really really wanted one but a hundred dollars was still way out of my budget and I couldn’t really justify spending a hundred on a book clutch. That was when the owner of the shop, Ms. L, pointed me to these!

I couldn’t make up my mind between the Man on the Moon clutch (the purple one on the left) and the Hansel and Gretel one but I finally decided on Hansel and Gretel and then took eons debating on which size I should get it in. I was going to buy the smaller version because of its cheaper price (S$49.90 for the small, S$69.90 for the large) but eventually went for the larger size because I figured I won’t be able to fit much into the smaller version.

I can’t remember about the smaller version but mine comes with a thin attached gold strap (so you can use it like a regular bag) and a wrist strap. Honestly, yes, I do feel that S$69.90 is still a lot to be paying for a clutch but I’m considering this a one-time splurge on something I’ve been trying to find for years!


Sitting pretty among some of my books! :)

Now that I’ve finished gushing over my book clutch, here are a few snapshots I took of the shop! I would definitely recommend visiting the store as there are so many more products in store compared to what is listed on their website. I had a lot of fun browsing through the store’s selection and my favourite things apart from the book clutches were the various cute and quirky bags!

If you live outside of Singapore though, Ms. L told me she ships internationally, so maybe you could email her if you see something you like!






One little thing about payment! For city girls in Singapore, My Jotter Book only accepts payment by NETS. I don’t have a NETS card and since I was on holiday in Singapore, Ms. L made an exception and accepted a cash payment from me. Just a heads-up if you intend to make purchases in store. :)





I love this jotter book cushion! It reminds me of the jotter books I used in primary school – with a blank white page on one side and a lined page on the other. My teacher would tell us to draw and write our future ambitions and at 7, my biggest dream was to be a singer like Mariah Carey. ;)

Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back to Singapore! 💫 26 June 2017, I said goodbye to Hong Kong and still to this day, miss aspects of my life there. But Singapore has been great for me and is home now. 😊

5 years back in SG has let me start another new chapter and offered me plenty of new experiences and challenges. I've been through successes, failures and standstills. It hasn't been easy, that's for sure, but I'm happy to share that at this 5 year mark, I'm finally in a contented, balanced and happy place. 😊 It definitely took work, trial and error and heaps of God's blessings, but I'm here. 🌻

HK, you're always a special place to me, so hopefully, I'll get to see you again soon. 💖

*Feb was such a full month! It was also a month that marked the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. 😊 Some of my favourite moments:
- Lovely drawings at @natmuseum_sg and wanting to buy so many of the related merch from the museum shop (I didn't!)
- Lovely lunches/dinners + great people & conversations. Incredibly grateful for the people in my life. 🌟
- The cutest exhibition featuring @angkukuehgirl
- Visiting a very nostalgic restaurant @oldschooldelights - brings back all my childhood memories!
- Pink skies 💗
- Attended a tour of the 'Mapping the World' exhibition at @nlb.singapore - fascinating and insightful! 

Other moments that couldn't fit in here: my first VR experience at the ArtScience Museum, shopping and gifts and more new books! 😄 Ending the month with a thankful heart.
