Live in Rome, Pigneto and work in Asia Pacific as a marketer, parlo italiano e cinese.

Many of my retail industry contacts all feel the same, business is really down. https://t.co/b7r4Kb2KFI

I have worked with Matca Studio
in Rome before, just came across this new project from them, an apartment cute as a button! #interiors #interni #home #casa https://t.co/wxZ5Q9zaPw

Beautiful renovation of a home in Pigneto Rome, that's my suburb in Rome too but my place doesn't look this good! #interiors #design https://t.co/wnOswGIbxf

Interior design inspo for the weekend: Barbie-esque interiors of a Poke bowl eatery in Rome, Castle Romano where I do my outlet shopping. #stylist

Off duty looks, when not at work in Melbourne styling clients, I can be found wearing comfy gear in Pigneto Rome. #streetstyle #menstyle #stylist

The office Xmas party less ordinary, sea sickness optional. #Melbourne #stylist #chadstone

Another lovely encounter with the stylish Bianca and her boyfriend Chris, discussing trends while helping them shop for a bag at Chadstone. We unanimously agree, this bag is the ONE. #stylist #shopping #streetstyle

So lovely meeting two elderly aunties, Hany and Flora, neighbours and longtime friends, their friendship so heartwarming, I'm so glad I was able to help Flora choose this bag from a top Italian brand at Chadstone. #stylist

Very elegantly designed apartment in Florence, feels like home already. #interiors https://t.co/KfivzmL0mu

Hands down the best runway show of Milan Fashion Week spring summer 2024. Visually sumptuous, refined and chic, this is designer fashion with intellect. #stylist #streetstyle https://t.co/I6dDZXKKQa

When I eventually return and retire in Singapore, I hope I get to live in a one bedroom HDB flat that looks as sharp as this. #smallhomes #casa #smallspaces #tinyliving https://t.co/CxcK5Wqczp

Spending the afternoon in Pigneto, Rome. Simple pleasures, but completely dolce vita to me. #streetstyle #stylist

[Alvin Chia @AlvinCheer]

Absolutely amazing interiors, I would so live here myself. https://t.co/Qe5BA6uPFv

Very lovely meeting Theo who runs the South Yarra, Brighton OPSM stores amongst many others. Everyone these days needs an optometrist, might as well go to one I know personally. #shopping #retail #stylist

Currently reading an old edition of Monocle mag, focus on retail. #marketer #stylist

[Alvin Chia @AlvinCheer]

Still remember this piece of lifestyle/beauty writing for CREAM mag Singapore in 2000 as my first few pieces of published work, and pre-graduation of my marketing degree even. #stylist #marketer

[Alvin Chia @AlvinCheer]

Not surprising news at all, Australian department stores aren't the calibre of global retail leaders, challenging times ahead for them. https://t.co/if2cCEQvid

I was fortunate to get 6 days off work, but they felt like just 2 days, the time just disappeared. That's the pace of life these days. One consolation, my Gucci slippers arrived in quick time too. #stylist #shopping

[Alvin Chia @AlvinCheer]

Yes I still do some work in Melbourne, but really it's no longer a city that I'm inspired by. When I think of my other home Rome, and its neighbouring city Florence, there are centuries worth of beauty, architecture to inspire. #stylist #retail

Honestly, I have no sympathy for such stories, I only buy what I can afford, designer or not. If you chase after things out of your league, this may happen. https://t.co/RNxXir0S7h
