I am in LOVE

2010-09-03T01:54:00.000-07:00

I am in love, girls. These shoes are just beautiful! I am so into heels these days. Really, I don't care much about flats anymore. I mean, it's not like I go out every single day. It's just usually the weekends. And it won't do me no harm to wear them every week right? So yeah.. I will never be satisfied with the amount of shoes I have. But really, I have very, VERY few pairs of shoes. So let's stop the talking and get to business! Shoes are by ALDO.

The MIU MIU Love

2010-06-16T21:45:00.000-07:00

ZOMG have anyone of you seen Miu Miu?!

The collection is just perfect. Feminine and light.

Miuccia Prada has nailed it yet again. Just look the shoes!

This is when I start dreaming of having the luxury to wear these items. Even to have a pair just sitting in my room is LOVE. Oh, Jesus!

Do you feel the Miu Miu love already?

5 Needs!

2010-06-16T00:37:00.001-07:00

Hey girls.

I know I promised a homey blog post. Well, this isn't the one I had in mind, and it's pretty spontaneous. I had another post like, in my to-do-list already. I might want to do that one after this post maybe?

Well, this isn't really fashion related, but it's more beauty related. And I always think that beauty and fashion go hand in hand. So yeah, you will be getting both fashion AND beauty in this blog.

So.. Let's get started.

These are just a few items I have in my room. And believe me, I NEED them. They're so good and trusty :)

I always have a tub of vaseline's pure petroleum jelly with me. It serves as my lip balm most of the time, but it doubles as a skin moisturizer too. So I just slap some of it on my dry skin area.

And it's so affordable, it's definitely a must-have!

Next, I have the body shop lip/cheek stain. It's the one in bright red. I think they also have it in a really light colour - not too sure. But yeah, I don't use it as a lip stain because I don't really like the colour on my lips. But I LOVE it on my cheekbones. It just adds a good amount of healthy flush onto my cheecks. Haha. It's like a dupe for Benefit's Benetint. Personally, Benetint works better, but I can't afford a Benetint. HAHA.

Then, I have Bio- Oil. I know, I look like I have ugly skin or something. LOL. Well, I don't want to lie. I do have ugly stretch marks on some parts of my body. Not too much, but still! And some of you might know of my scar on my right waist. It's slowly wearing off but there's still a tone of brown on my skin. So I'm still working on getting rid of it. So yeah, Bio-Oil is like, my bestie. Haha.

I also use Vaseline's body lotion. It's the yellow one you see in drugstores. I got it in a small size because it's a lot easier to carry around in my bag. And I slap some on my body when I get bored. Haha. And it's smells so yummy! Like, I don't really use perfumes, but I use lotion. And I'm not even done with this bottle after using it for some time! AND, it's so inexpensive. Like, really! Haha. Oh, speaking of body lotion, I'm waiting for body shop malaysia to carry their coconut body butter shimmer. I love everything coconut! Haha.

Lastly, this cuticle and nail treatment pen I got from body shop. It doesn't smell too yummy, but it doesn't bother me much. I just use this before bed. Cause I don't want oily fingers while doing stuff. Lol. I have really bad conditioned cuticles so this is a need. And I'm still finding ways to get better cuticles. I think I should stop biting them off first! Haha.

Hope you enjoy this loooooong post. Drop a comment on your favourites! :)

Update!

2010-06-15T21:16:00.000-07:00

Hi gals.

I'm working on a good update blog post. Please be patient and wait for it. Haha.

I'm thinking of a post on something more.... HOMEY. A little different from my usual posts.

So come back to check it out yeah.

LONGCHAMP?

2010-06-08T06:59:00.000-07:00

Hey!

Remember how I wanted a Longchamp tote for myself a couple of months back?

Well, I kind of gave up on it after some time. I didn't see the point of spending so much on a bag. I mean, it's Longchamp. It's pretty simple looking. Nothing big.

BUT!

Lydia Phua, my fashion saviour, texted me today and told me that she's got a chocolate brown white Longchamp totes in medium and long-handled.

Oh wait for the best part!

She's selling them for rm280 each! And brand new!

I was EXCITED!

So I told my mom the entire story about me not having a good bag for myself, how it's retailed a lot more expensive. It's retailed at like rm490? Yeah somewhere along that line.

So you see, I AM saving :)

And I need a bag. My roxy's dying on me. And it gets tiring carrying the LV Speedy around ya know. So now, I'll have a new bag, all to myself :)

Okay, I just want some suggestions.

Chocolate brown or white?

Thanks :)

Not Your Everyday Beach Wear

2010-06-02T06:30:00.000-07:00

Hey yah!

So I know the holidays are coming up soon! I am excited. But as usual, I will have piles of homework to complete during the break. However, I'll definitely try to slip in some time for play.

Unfortunately, I won't be spending any of my time at the beach this coming break, but if you are, please have the extra fun on behalf of me :)

I'll just have the pleasure of lazing in the pool looking (hopefully) skinny. HAHA.

Okay girlies, instead of the usual summer dresses, I opted for a pair of high-waisted shorts instead. I know right, I'm high on high-waisted items these days. I guess that's FASHION.

I chose a coral-coloured one and a sailor-esque two-piece. They're pretty.

Sandals, anything. Flippers are easy! So yeah, you may wanna take that.

OH! How can I forget? SUNNIES! You need them. Protect yourself from the sun, loves. :)

Get ready for sun-kissed skin!

KICK Back And Relax

2010-05-12T06:21:00.000-07:00

Good day, all! Well, it's night time already, but what the heck! Ahha.

Anyway, I thought of a look I enjoy pulling off. Sometimes, I lay off the heels and put on some kicks to look a lil' sporty. I used to be a HUGE Nike junky. But I stick to Converse now. I only have a pair of Converse though. Mine's like brown. I plan to get another pair in like, a bright colour. Like the one below.

Anyway! I like wearing Converse chucks with my skirts and dresses. It's a pretty easy way to dress down. I can still pair my Converse with Louis vuitton! Mhmm. Haha.

So, here's how I'd pair a pretty/girly bottom, I chose a pair of shorts and a skirt with funky kicks!

And finish the look with any accessory you want. Fancy, not-so-fancy, anything!

Have fun playing dress-up!

Never too old for it :)

Latest Products

2010-05-09T04:30:00.001-07:00

Hi readers!

I have abandoned this blog for QUITE some time already. And yeah I do feel bad. And I really miss blogging here, but I just couldn't figure what to blog about ya know.

I went to One Utama the other day and I got myself some makeup products. Well, I've been thinking of buying some stuff already but I just didn't go out. So yeah. I know, I just bought like 2 items! But what the heck, these stuff ain't VERY cheap okay. And I give my cash a lot of value. I don't throw cash around. So yeah. I was taking like, AN HOUR, literally to decide on what I wanted to buy. So I just bought the essentials. A foundation and a mascara. I need a concealer too. My concealer's GONE! :(

Yep, those are the 2 items I got the other day. I tried them on today. The foundation is just alright. It isn't full-coverage. I like the mascara. Doesn't clump my lashes up and my lashes do look pretty flirty ;) AHAH.

I'll get more stuff when I go out again yeah :)

See you soon.

Feel good outfit!

2010-04-07T05:47:00.000-07:00

Hi all!

I missed blogging so much! I missed blogging on this site.

Yeah, my exams are FINALLY over! After close to 3 weeks of long study days, I am glad it's over for now. Okay, I'll blabber more on the other blog. Time to get to FASHIONING!

I just chose a loose sequined tank top. I thought it would be nice if it was tucked into the short pencil skirt. It's kind of a high-waisted skirt. I like the colour! And the others are just accessories. I like stacking up bangles and bracelets. They just finish your look well. So you don't look so bare and... Naked? Haha.

I wanna play dress up and take photographs of myself. I know, it's all about me here. Haha. Nahh, kidding, you all matter too :)

I should really get someone to permanently take photos of me. Who would do it?

Tell me if you would :)

Inspired by Karl

2010-03-26T07:16:00.000-07:00

Hi fashionistas!

The clogs are back! Karl Lagerfeld kinda started it again. We saw the Chanel Spring 2010 collection with Lily Allen singing at the back. The collection was good. Then you see the shoes. The models had wooden clogs on. And you know it, clogs are back! So here are two examples of clogs. The closed-toe clogs aren't as pretty (I think). I mean, some are alright. And it's just the way you pair 'em with your clothes. But here, I found a pair of Miu Miu's and Steve Madden's.

Again, this is what you can wear them with. Boyfriend jeans, a loose v-neck T, and a simple or crazy clutch or bag. Anything!

You can also pair clogs with a dress. They're very wearable. Easy! I should get one! :)

I miss playing dress up. I miss being a little girl I was.

How To: Dress Down a Cocktail Dress

2010-03-21T01:19:00.001-07:00

You walk into your favourite boutique. The first thing that catches your eyes is a dress. You want it so bad and think, "Where'd I wear this to?". Here's good news for you! Buy it because you love it and buy it because you CAN dress it down. Don't have to be a particularly large event that you're going to. You can just wear it out and not feel ashamed for dressing up.

I know I'm giving you toooooo many examples of a cocktail dress, but I just found too many pretty ones that I want to show you all. :)

If you noticed, all the dresses I chose are tubes. Yeah they're easier to work my way. And to glam it up (although you just want to dress down), deck the bangles up! Here are two sets of good examples. You can choose one or just... have fun and stack 'em up like pancakes!

Now here comes the T-shirt. What you do is, find a cute T that will go well with your dress. Don't have to be too matchy-matchy on this one. Just pick one that will go with your colour scheme. I suggest something plain and simple. Steer clear of the printed ones with a huge statement on it 'cause after putting on the dress, you'd notice that the statements are not visible. Or maybe a little of it will show - which is a NO-NO. Something like the one below will be cute.

So there you go. Have fun shopping. Always remember that there is a way for anything at all. Just check with yourself if it's worth the price. And if you'll wear it. If you answer yes to both those questions, go ahead and get them badasses!

Happy shopping! :)

How To: Work the Brogues

2010-03-18T22:45:00.000-07:00

So if you're wondering what the brogues are, they look something like the 'oxfords'. They're actually about the same thing. Oxfords sound better but brogues sound new to me, so I'm using this term. HEHE.

You get them heeled, or flat.

Here are some items you can pair them with;

What you do is you can fold the pants up a little higher so your legs would be exposed a little. They'll look something like the boyfriend jeans. But boyfriend jeans gives you a more slouchy look. And you may wear it with a lacy top like the one below.
OR

With a blazer over a loose t-shirt. Tuck the T in so it wouldn't cover up your structured pants. You want to show of the shape of your body. Not hide it.

For a bag, I chose an Alexa Chung inspired bag by Mulberry. I think this bag just polishes the look.
This look is more to the conservative side, so you can wear it to work. If you were younger, you could spice it up with some chunky jewelery or lose the blazer or opt for a different bag. Mix and match is the way to go, beauties!

Have fun playing dress-up! :)

Shoes Of Prey

2010-03-18T01:20:00.000-07:00

Hi guys!

I found a really cool website where you can design your very own pair of shoe and actually BUY IT! Yes, you heard me right!

It's really simple to design your shoe. You just go on to shoesofprey.com and click 'Start Designing'. And you just start from there. It's very easy. You have examples so you can get inspired by them. Or you could just start from scratch and try the designs out. And from what I've heard, they're comfortable. The highest heel they have is 4.5 inches. But who wouldn't wear a 4 inch heel if they're comfortable, right? :)

Here are the 3 designs I've come up with so far;

Here's the Gladiator style heel with gold zipper. I chose blue and light green fish skin on the back, the middle strap, and the platform. Pink/Violet fish skin for the other two straps, the center of the shoe and the heel. And to top it all off, black fish skin.

Here is a Mary Jane inspired shoe. I chose a 4.5 inched high heel. A double bow to top off the round peep-toe. Here, I decided on Pink patent leather on the whole. And Light pink patent leather on the platform and strap. On the top bow, I chose Gold patent leather and the bottom, Shiny Dark Olivey Grey patent leather.

And here, you have the team behind this incredibly chic website. Jodie Fox (middle) is the Director of Fashion and Founder of this company. Michael Fox (right) is the Director of Operations and Founder as well. And no, they're not siblings, if you're wondering *giggles*. Then you have Mike Knapp (left) who is the Director of Technology and Founder of ShoesOfprey.

Here are how your shoes will look like.

So if you have a shoe in mind and you don't know where to get it, Shoes Of Prey could just be your answer. And they do ship internationally. Prices are pretty high though. But you know, girls will go the extra mile for anything they want ;)

I think I should come up with a website like this too! Like, design your handbag and price them reasonably. 'Cause these shoes are pretty expensive in Malaysian RM. A 4.5 inch heel will cost you 280 USD.

Oh well, at least you can have fun designing shoes! :)

The L.B.D

2010-03-17T20:27:00.001-07:00

That's how you do an LBD! And yes, this IS pretty church-y. Exposed at the right areas. Just do some areas right ;)

I'm A Rockstar!

2010-03-17T19:46:00.000-07:00

I got bored, so I thought I'd put some stuff together. This is my vision of a rocker. I think I always picture a person wearing something like this to the club. I'D WEAR IT! (That's if I EVER find a good pair of skinny jeans for my stubby legs)

I like the printed T. It's so cool looking dontcha think? I'd totally wear it!!

Alright. I'll be back with more ensembles soon. Tell me what you want, I'll put it together for you. :)

Maybe a church-y outfit next. Like the contemporary-looking one. :)

Zac Posen. Resort 2010 Womenswear

2010-03-10T23:59:00.000-08:00

I present to you, Zac Posen.

No, this isn't his full collection. Just a few hand-picked ones (by yours truly).

The ones that caught my eye.

Watch the evolution of the collection from such structured pieces to flow-y ones.

BEAUTIFUL

This is one of my favourites. I like how it fits so well on top.

This as well. I like the sexy-but-not-slutty exposure of skin.

This one's pretty too.

I'm kinda liking the off-shoulder look. I should get one of those. HAHA. (With my parents' money because I AM SAVING for a bag). See how I'm not eating too much and buying unnecessary items. I should look for a pretty and afforable one. WHY? Because cheap is the new expensive.

Love lots, dolls.

longchamp, a dream!

2010-02-27T01:44:00.000-08:00

Hello fashion addicts. I apologise ONCE AGAIN for not updating this blog. But I am back again. I will try to be more regular on this blog as I am on the personal blog :)

Today we see so many ladies (young & not-so-young) carrying a really simple but posh looking bag. Instantly, their simple ensemble is splashed with colour and luxury. No, I am not talking about your LV monograms or your Gucci's. I'm talking about the Longchamp le pliage. I think this wave of popularity for this bag just hit Malaysia not to long ago. Suddenly, everywhere you see is Longchamp. I will not deny that it looks really... simple? But I guess that's what makes it classy. To me, this bag just shows that you are effortlessly chic and you know fashion well.

And you have many colours to choose from! You can also get them with different prints. Which is cute. But I'd like to stick to the solid colours. So, I am running out of cash, BUT I am determined to get my hands on one of these babies. These are a few colours that are appealing to me. The colours that will be easier for me to match my daily wear. Because right now, I need a bag that will do me good for a long time. And honestly, I don't really mind spending the extra cash on a good bag.

My Roxy bag died on me. The strap is coming off because I had too many things inside. My fault, but isn't it a big bag's job to carry a lot of rubbish? I might be giving up on Roxy soon. Their bags I mean. I still love Roxy. :)

Right now, I am using my sister's Louis Vuitton Speedy 25. I think it's a Speedy 25. Speedy 30 looks bigger on the internet. HAHA. So it should be Speedy 25. But the handles are pretty nasty looking. They got a little dirty, and my mom tried to clean them and she ended up making them worse. So yeah it's pretty embarrassing. HAHA. But I should be happy enough to be able to use a Louis Vuitton already right?

(And if you're wondering if it's fake, it is NOT fake!)

I'd rather buy lower range of brands than get a fake designer product.

These are the possible colours. Tell me what you think. Which should I get? What colour?

By the way, I had Lydia check out the prices for me. She said they cost about rm490. So I have to think real hard about this. I am not working but sometimes I feel like I spend like a person who gets a hefty paycheck. OR, any of you who would be generous enough to get me one of these eye-candies :) I will love you long time ;)

How I wish my birthday was nearer. BOOHOO.

Enjoy shopping! xo!

reach sky-high!

2010-02-04T02:04:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry for I haven't updated this blog for SO LONG. Not that I've lost interest. I just didn't know what to blog about anymore. LOL. But I AM BACK!

And look what I found off style.com!
Sexy shoes from Louboutin's to Donna Karan.
They look so wearable. They're hot but not like the killer shoes that will hurt your feet at the end of an hour. Well, I don't know if they hurt but they don't look bad. Sometimes, you just HAVE TO rely on the looks :)

This is a LOEWE

Adore the colour and the fancy details here

I am a gold person. I think gold looks better on me compared to silver.
But this has a combo of gold and silver.
I know some people wonder if it's OK to pair gold & silver.
Here's the answer; it's totally legal! :)

FENDI.
This style is pretty common now. I local shoeshops making stuff like these now.

I LOVE this pair of chunky heels!
I love whatever-skin on this. haha.
I think it's the colour as well.
For a second, I imagined it hot pink HAHA.
Interesting colour, but I'd stick with this for now.
I love nudes and neutrals.
This black baby is by Christian Dior.

Nicholas Kirkwood.

Honestly, I don't even know who this man is.

But he must be awfully great, judging on this shoe.

I like the structure of it. So geometrical and all.

Hot colour as well.

So you've seen a few designer shoes. Whatcha think?

Men in SEXY Button-Downs

2010-01-08T22:32:00.000-08:00

I like how men are oh-so-sexy in button downs, really. Okay, having a nice body with a nice face adds to it, but don't you think guys should wear more of them even on casual occations? Like going to church or a small party, for example. I think it shows how they care about their appearance and that's hot! At this time, both men and women care about how they look. And I must say, some of them are doing very well. The others, try harder, maybe.

OK, I just noticed that both shirts are plaids and I didn't do it on purpose. I couldn't find nicer ones. LOL. I would prefer plain shirts or light stripes, but plaids are good too. They're so fashionable now! It also makes the shirt look and feel more casual so you can look good but not over-the-top. So you won't have to feel overdressed. You blend in and pop at the same time, get what I'm saying. And I notice that MANY guys realise what button downs can change your look. So many guys are wearing them now. GOOD JOB, you guys! :)

I also think what you wear with it matters as well.

PLEASE DO NOT:

pair them with khakis

pair them with corduroy

PLEASE DO:

pair them with skinnies

pair them with fashionable sneakers

pair them with dark wash jeans

pair them with baggy jeans

They Will be Neverfull

2010-01-07T23:41:00.000-08:00

I've been looking up some designer handbags. I know I can't afford any of them for now. But I will, soon. HAHA. So I thought, it's never too early to start saving for a good, designer bag. And that's what I'm doing now. Looking up some good large totes for ANYTHING and maybe a college bag. I know it's not a necessity, but it's a luxury, and I want it. Don't get me wrong though. I am NOT spoiled, I am NOT pampered, I am NOT well off, but I'm just average. I don't spend compulsively. I tend to want to splurge on certain items and I tend to stick with that item for a long time until I find a new love. So here are a few that I've been checking out.
If you haven't seen this bag, you should go back to your shell and rot to death! I know it seems typical, but i like this bag. I see SO MANY young girls, chinese especially, carrying this bag around. I don't know why, but I think it's classic and very young looking, and like the name it'll be NEVERFULL. And the best part is, it's LOUIS! Who says no to LOUIS VUITTON? This bag is badass!

Moving on, I saw this coach large tote online and I think it's perfect for college. It's huge, it's black, it's COACH. I mean, it looks very casual to me. And it's cheaper than LV, definitely. And even though I don't usually have a messenger bag or like a sling bag, I like the strap just for extra details, I don't know why. It's just very nice. So yes. Definitely something I'll think about.

THEN! There's another coach bag. It's the classic leather bag. It goes with almost everything. I know, it doesn't look like a good college bag, but I just thought it's pretty. Maybe just one of my everyday black bag, hmm? I have something for big black bags. They make me happy.

I'll end this post here. I'll come back with more of my favs soon :)

Happy 2010 and Taking the HIGH Road

2010-01-07T23:14:00.000-08:00

Hello dearies :) I know, I haven't updated this poor blog since the London Bridge was built. But please don't kill me for this. The holidays were on so I took a time off. For those who didn't know I was in Bangkok for 4 days during Christmas. ANYWAY, Happy New Year!! I'm a senior now :D

So today I wanted to talk about my new favourite, the High-Waisted Skirt. I know it's been around for some time. But I never really had them in my collection of clothes. But when I was in Bangkok, I thought I should just get one or more of it just because eveything there is a heap cheaper! So i got one. It doesn't look like the one I have here, cuz it's not a pencil skirt. It's sorta a mini high-waisted. I got a black one with gray stars on it. I don't know why but I really love wearing blacks and grays nowadays. They're like my favourite shades! I mean, yeah I like pink and red and purple and all the other colours in the world, but Black is DEFINITELY topping my list of favourite colours, FOR NOW.

Okay, so I'll talk a little about what I bought in Bangkok. I MIGHT start filming videos and post them up on YouTube just for kicks. If I do, I'll make sure You guys are the first to know :)
In Bangkok, you can almost find everything you want. Clothes, bags, shoes, accesories, sunnies, you name it, they've got it! I felt like a compulsive shopper when I was at the BIGGEST market. Things there are so much cheaper so I didn't have to think twice. It was so simple to get stuff there. Nice? Just grab, pay and move on. It was that simple, literally. Here, you try them on, look at the price tag for just about a gazillion times then think for about another gazilion times then purchase. You just wasted 2 hours there. In Bangkok, you'd have probably bought 50 other items already (unless you run out of cash). So I got this really nice hot red bag. I don't really know how to explain the look, but it's a flashback from the past, definitely. It's not the typical modern tote, it's something YOU might not like. And I think it goes well with my tank+high-waisted skirt combo.

I also bought a few floral and light sundresses for friends and myself. They're just very easy so I got them. Then there was this boutique that sells t-shirts for both men and ladies. I bought 1 on the first day and another on the second day I was there. Both of them are gray. See how obssessed I am!! HAHA. I think I'll continue this another day. OR you know what? I'll just TRY to upload some videos and maybe do a BANGKOK HAUL on YouTube. That'll be much easier and it's better to have illustrations than just reading and imagining from what i have written here. So I'll see y'all soon.

MAC. Taste Me!

2009-12-08T02:50:00.000-08:00

I've been going out a lot lately. I went to One Utama last night.. Didn't shop for anything, well, my only excuse to go out is.. IT'S THE HOLIDAYS! Anyway, I went to MidValley Megamall and Gardens today. I didn't plan to get anything because i spent some cash on a pair of sexy heels and a Paris Hilton wallet and I'm not the kind of person who spends money compulsively. As much as I want to call myself a shopaholic, I don't think I'm qualified! haha! But I just went out to pass time and... have good outside food lol (I had Chili's Fajita Trio xD).

But I did get these babies;

5 Frisky Business Bright Mini Lipglass/Lustreglass!

They're from the Holiday Collection. There goes my Christmas pressie from Ee Catherine :) I'm fine with it, I just really really can't wait to get to Bangkok for some heavy shopping spree!! I'm saving for that trip ;)

Art Of Clutch

2009-12-07T08:08:00.000-08:00

I am going through the phase of clutch fetish now. I saw a girl in the mall carrying a large animal print clutch and she pulled the look off well! I guess her dressing and the clutch really got a hold of me. Maybe the clutch is the new 'large tote'. Maybe the 'large clutch' should get its fame now. I must say, I do get a little tired of carrying my Blue Roxy bag. It's pretty and I love the colour, but you know what they say... fashion comes and goes. So I think I should update my style. I was feeling the beachy, sun dress feel before this. But now, I'm more into the edgy look with a lot of BLACK. And a tinge of gold, or more! And I see hot red coming too. I like the black+gold combo. It feels so... VERONICA!

So here are some clutches;
..... if you like diamente clutches. A dinner, perhaps?

.... if you like it simple and toned-down. Satin is a good feel!

....if you are a super eco-friendly person. Malaysians, you can find something like this at Kitsch, Marmalade (Bangsar Village II) . You get fun colours to play with you look!

... If you like colours and simplicity. They come in different sizes and colours. Have fun mix-and-matching!

And then you have my FAVOURITE! Animal prints. Get them in faux, though. You don't want to kill those poor animals for your own selfish reasons! Another reason why I love animal prints is because I like the colour combo. Black and brown/gold is my way to go ;)

People say I don't look my age, well, do I have to look like a 16 year old and wear jeans and t-shirt all day? You may, kiss my ass for that. I played dress-up even before you knew what a pair of wedges were! And I still play dress-up!

3.1 Phillip Lim is genius!

2009-12-01T08:33:00.001-08:00

I just found another jaw-dropping line of clothings designed by a Genius! Phillip Lim is the man! I just checked out the latest collection by him, for Spring 2010. And I am happy to have found another designer I love. Zac Posen blew me away when i took a look at his amazing clothes, but let's leave that aside for now. It's time for Phillip Lim to take his glory!

I think this lipstick-red suit is beautiful. I fell in love with it after the first glance. It's rare to work a full red ensemble, but this looks perfect. My mom would love this! Not that it's old fashion or anything, she just LOVES the colour red! And anyway, the old is back with a new twist and I am loving it. This is when I wish my mom didn't throw out her old statement pieces and kept it for me instead. This just gave me an idea. I should keep my clothes and let my daughters enjoy them next time, eh? Well, just a thought!

More of Phillip Lim's. Do I have to say more? Those ensembles are screaming for attention themselves!

Now, don't you just adore these shoes? For 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2010, Phillip Lim teamed up with Christian Louboutin! And voila, these babies were made. I can't possibly afford ANY of their creations, but a girl can dream! And I am here, doing just that. What I love about these shoes are the red-coloured soles. They make the shoes look classy and fabulous.

Something to work for - to-die-for Louboutin's!

Now all I have to do is magically land myself on my dream job with a hefty paycheck and everything'll be good. OR. I can find a rich guy and instead of him sweeping my feet away, I do otherwise. And BAYMMM! Louboutin's :D

Just keep dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!

Your Must-Haves!

There are just too many type of shoes in the market to be worn every day of the year. So what do people like me and you, the mass market buy? Are you going to spend on ALL of them? Let's see, you'd probably want a pair of

Converse, ballerina flats (in different colours), wedges (of many heights and many colours), strappy heels, espadrilles, boots, flip flops of all sorts, crocs, diamente sandals, silver sandals, black sandals, brown/gold sandals, peep-toe pumps, patent pumps, Cage shoes, gladiator sandals, etc.

I would mention more, but i think that should cut it. Anyway, as I was saying, even Tamara Mellon of Jimmy Choo thinks there are 4 pairs of footwear that you NEED. Only 4. You heard me right. Here are the 4 essential footwears every girl/lady should own;

1. Ballerina Flat- forever kicky, they can work for evening or day and always look chic.
2. Metallic Strappy Sandals- Gold or Silver, they can work with mostly everything, from jeans to
a gown, and can usually work around the clock.
3. Plain Knee-High Boot- a winter must. (But not for us, Malaysians)
4. Great Black Pump- low-cut on the upper and as high as you can handle the heel. A great pair can take you from the office to the streets!

And an additional pair; A Jeweled Sandal!

So you see, you don't NEED to spend a fortune on these few pairs of shoes, you just got to work them right, and walk with your swagger! You'll turn heads, for sure. (Just make sure you turn heads for the right reasons!)

Label Much?

2009-11-26T09:51:00.000-08:00

Are you the kind of girl/ guy who put labels first? Do you think having the most expensive item is better than a cheaper range of almost-similar goods? I can't deny that i DO look at brands first, at times. So today, i was shopping around for anything. I didn't go out with a mission to find the perfect wallet for myself, but it was more like.. 'whatever comes my way'. So I went to Jaspal, Roxy, Guess?, and Paris Hilton, just to name a few. I also had Liz Claiborne wallets in my head. The prices are pretty reasonable, you see. My aunty got one from Liz Claiborne recently and she thinks it isn't very good just because the wallet comes with many compartments, but when you fill them up with cards, it gets rather hard to close. So I looked at other places. Oh yes, I went to Coach to check out their prices (you can get them way cheaper in the US!). Every store I went to, I saw something that caught my eye. I went to Guess?, i saw this pretty wallet that's moderately big and it has a pretty bow on it. That one's about RM179. Then I went to Jaspal (they're having sale), I saw a pretty denim-materialed purse with purple lining, priced at about RM 120. I went to Roxy, I saw pretty wallets too. They are cheaper if compared to others. And having a member card won't kill you, it'll save your cheap butts! I thought about it, then moved on. Then I decided to just walk into Paris Hilton. The purses look a lot like Guess?, cheaper-looking version. If you asked me, I think one third of what the store has to offer are pretty. The others should be reconsidered because they are overpriced for such looking goods. So they were having a SALE, and tell me, who doesn't enjoy the sale season? I saw some latest wallets and one which wasn't too bad, but it's rather old. I decided to give it a thought. And at the end, I bought one of the wallets. Good price? I don't know. RM 140. You tell me :) But what's done is done. I can't regret buying it, can I?

Brings us back to the main question, and the main point of this post. Do we look at brands FIRST? You see, I could've gotten a cheaper wallet from Roxy, but no, just because Paris Hilton sounds better and exclusive, I got it there. Should this be the way? Share your opinions and thoughts, and don't be shy.

YSL Cage Shoe

2009-11-25T08:10:00.000-08:00

Yves Saint Laurent made the "Cage Shoes" the newest IT item. People actually pay a fortune to wear shoes that make their feet look like they are stuck in a cage. So you get why it's called "Cage Shoes" now. These YSL babies are made obvious to be compatible with its name. Designers like Stella McCartney and Barbara Bui too designed some Cage Shoes, but they don't look as 'Cage-y' as YSL's. So what do you think about the newest IT thing in fashion world? yes, no? Too edgy for your liking? Too runway? Or maybe you're good enough to pull this of. Personally, I wouldn't wear it out. Unless you are Beyonce or a mannequin in a high-fashion boutique, stay off it and stick with your peep-toes, sexy red patent pumps, beachy espadrille wedges, and ballerina flats! I know many of you think it's good to take fashion risks. But will you REALLY where them out? And even if you do, where to? What event would allow you to wear such "unique" shoes?

"Fashion is made to become unfashionable" - Coco Chanel

I guess by that, Coco is referring to fashion items such as the "Cage Shoe". Yes, it is fashion. And to me, IT IS UNFASHIONABLE. I guess that's how it works here in the crazy world of fashion. You just never know what good or bad is.

So let's turn the table around and see what you people think of this. Drop a comment here or on my CBox, anything that pleases you :)

Welcome!

I've been waiting to start this blog with much anticipation.

I am new at fashion blogging, but i will try my hardest to do well at this.

But the whole point of this blog, as stated at my "About Me" column, is to state me opinion.

Other than that, I also want to start writing and my first step before really stepping into the cruel yet glamorous world of fashion.

As you can see, I am still pretty clueless on how to start here.

But bare with me, yeah..

Stil learning here :)
