Marina Sands

2012-01-11T02:04:00.000-08:00

Top on my list is CUT by Wolfgang Puck. Honestly, if you don't know who he is, you need to stop being so ignorant. I don't know how to cook, and yet, Gosh!!! Anyways, in a nut shell, he is a celebrity chef, actor and owner of award winning restaurants. He is known as "The Greatest Chef In The World" and a 3 course meal here will costs roughly 300SGD per person more or less. CUT has branches in beverly Hills and Las Vegas.
High Society is a record label founded by That CD Shop, Singapore and this place is perfect for hi teas, or light meals. Didn't have time to try it out, but it's definitely on my MUST TRY list for the next visit.
Daniel Boulud is much known because his cooking show After Hours with Daniel on AFC. He's the owner of many Michelin 3 Star restaurants and also one The Great Chefs.

Marina Bay Sands in Singapore is home to many world class restaurants and also the casino and many international musicals. Was there to watch Wicked and missed Lion King. But, these are just some of the restaurant I think everyone should try, at least once in their lives.

Bag Dilemma

2012-01-09T22:06:00.001-08:00

I love the Mulberry bag but since i can't afford it yet, i have to settle. I found this 2 bags which I love because it more or less looks like the Mulberry bag. These 2 bags cost more or less the same and there's not much difference hence, the dilemma! I've not bought any bags for myself and I kinda need a new bag for casual use (everyday) and fits my iPad.

Please tell me what you think? Pretty please?

This bag is the Florence Lady bag from Accessorize and I like it because of the design. Many people don't like the color but this color will last because I'm a messy person and when I use it daily, the dirtiness won't show.

This bag is the Green Lydia Day bag from Miss Selfridge which many people liked because of it's color. In fact, I love this bag too coz the color is so pretty and brighter than the picture.

Sunday Brunch Worthy

2011-12-19T01:24:00.000-08:00

I love the playfulness of this Burlapp This Carousel Life dress!!! It's fun, flirty, cute and any other adjective to describe pretty. (you get my drift!)

ThisMel en Stel Cup of Tea Ruffle dress is so pretty with the ruffles and the deep blue is just too gorgeous! it's perfect for work and casual evening dates in a fancy restaurant.

I love the pink in this Mel en Stel Little Miss Muffet dresss!!! It's the same design as the previous dress only, it's in an ultra feminine pink! And yes, it's still perfect for office and a date in a fancy restaurant.

I love this Samantha Pleet Expedition dress because of it's simple, clean, cut silhouette and fun and flirty. It's like a perfect summer dress for those that prefers a more neutral color.

I love the mixture of colors in this classy Project Alabama Burn Out dress. It's so classy that you'll wanna wear it to a garden wedding or brunch with the Duchess.

What do you think of wearing paintings? Specifically, Anna Coroneo Secret Garden painting on a dress? Anna does really beautiful and colorful painting and now, you can wear it!!!

Isn't this Aztec printed Mel en Stel Aztec dress so gorgeous? The dress looks like it's fresh off the runway and it would be THE perfect dress for a fashion preview, when you need to look fabulous and oh so snobby!

Imagine wearing something so simple and yet multifunctional? Well, with the Anna Coroneo Fields dress, you can wear it for shopping during the day and your girlfriend's birthday party at night. Simple, pretty, and guess what? It's also a painting, on a dress! You're literally a walking piece of art!

I love the mixture of colors in this Project Alabama Secret Garden dress. It's actually my favorite dress from Sunday Brunch.

Recently, I discovered a treasure trove in the form of Sunday Brunch Dress where dresses are so perfect, you can wear them to brunch with the Duchess! They are made to order, meaning, you won't be bumping into someone else wearing your dress.

They are gorgeous and exclusive. Example, Anna Coroneo is a an artist and she paints some pretty cool art and you're wearing her painting on your dress. You're a walking piece of art, literally!

Sereni & Shentel Wishes and Caviar Dreams.

2011-12-09T23:16:00.000-08:00

I love the mixture of colors in these Charlotte headbands!!! It's refreshing, fun, flirty, cute and any other adjective to describe pretty. (you get my drift!)

Another of my favorite is The Queen. This is part of the 1988 movie; "Coming to America" Collection where an African Prince (Eddie Murphy) goes to New York City in search of "a Queen"

Another of my favorite would be Akeem because it has the touch of class and the hairbands are named after Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy)

I've supported Sereni & Shentel at the beginning and until now, people still don't understand how I could spend 200MYR over on a hairband. I currently own 4 hairbands and I still crave for more. Sereni and Shentel are the sweetest girls you've ever met!! I know, because I've met them.

They are very pretty, very stylish and extremely friendly. I had the opportunities to meet them while I designed my own "Blair" and I'm looking forward to more events next year!

This year, they became even more creative and came up with a few more "collections" such as:

Party Hat

Zamunda

Bunny Ears

Quickly "LIKE" them on Facebook and you could take part in a contest to win ONE (1) Sereni & Shentel hairband and even order a FREE lookbook!!! What are you waiting for??? HURRY UP!!

Yellow Fever

2011-12-07T00:00:00.000-08:00

Yellow never fails to remind me of Summer. There's something about SpongeBob Yellow that I can't seem to get over. Whenever I wear a yellow dress, LOML always says that I'm a cute, little girl. Maybe I'm just a little girl to him but I love my yellow dresses!

Everlasting Black.

2011-12-05T21:22:00.000-08:00

This season in December, my favorite color would be BLACK. Take a hint from Penelope Cruz that I love and she always look stunning in a black dress. She's very much like me in style and she's so pretty and gorgeous in black. I love the dress she's wearing and I own a simple dress like that. Black is flattering and fuss free.

I've been an extremely good girl. My marks for this semester is great and I could say that I did pretty well judging by the fact I had no prior experiences in this course. I've been living a much fulfilled life since I started donating and helping the strays. I make it a point to donate to the National Kidney Foundation and PAWS.

It's really good for your soul. I guess, I want to have something pretty this Christmas. Santa and God has been amazing to me by fulfilling all my dreams so, I don't wanna ask them for more. I'm grateful. Oh, I just started playing around with Polyvore and I'm loving it!!! Too cute!!!

Hope you like my first Polyvore creation!!! Will create more once I get the hang of it...

Marc by Marc Jacobs

2011-09-12T01:04:00.000-07:00

Uni is gonna start. I will need a new bag and what is better to throw everything in, than Jacobs by Marc Jacobs? I love it's oversized canvas that holds everything, from my MBA (Mac Book Air) to my files, chargers, pencil case and books.

It's simple and fuss free and quintessential of a Marc Jacobs bag.

Dresses For Under 100MYR!

2011-09-11T19:39:00.001-07:00

Skater Dress With Floral Skirt (£14) From ASOS

Slinky Asymmetric Dress (£12) From ASOS

Asymmetric Bodycon Dress (£15) From ASOS

Dress With Stripe Top (£13) From ASOS

Dress With Bird Print (£18) From ASOS

Pencil Dress With Cutout Shoulder (£16) From ASOS

One Sleeve Chiffon Swing Dress (£16) From ASOS

River Island Print Cape Dress (£14) From ASOS

Satin Kimono Dress With Sash (42.90 USD) From Akira

Kimono One Sleeve With Sash (29.90 USD) From Akira

Floral Tea Dress (£15) From ASOS

Oasis Geranium Print Dress (£19) From ASOS

The next dress, is more than 100MYR but I just thought that it was really beautiful and I love it, so, just to share. If you can afford it, then, good for you!

Floral One Shoulder Maxi Dress (£30) From ASOS

I know that the price of clothes has gone up (waaay up!) and I don't know how sweatshop produced clothes can be priced so expensively. I'm not saying Brand F uses sweatshops because it's politically incorrect but dresses used to be 80MYR but it has increased to a whopping 100MYR and above!

And the label "proudly" said Made In China. Best part of all? Those clothes are not even worth that amount of money. I admit that I'm a brand whore but seriously, these clothes just look cheap and not worth the money.

I'm not talking about a particular brand but branded clothes in general. Anyways, that made me compile this list. Most of the dresses are from ASOS because well, ASOS is super, duper nice to offer FREE DELIVERY WORLDWIDE.

Besides that, I love their website because it's sooo user friendly. They have a huge selection of clothes and there's a tab on the left that let's you choose "what you wanna see" meaning, you can check "Dresses" then, "Your Size" and then "Colors" and a bar for your "Budget".

The next part is just viewing the type of clothes you want, in your size and budget. Simple, right? Then, you can even view the way a particular item flows when you walk by clicking the "View Catwalk" option.

ASOS is definitely an interactive place. I can't seem to be able to get enough of ASOS.

Swarovski: Wings of Fancy

2011-09-08T19:53:00.000-07:00

The lovely Maeva White Ring. It's brilliance is unmatched with tiny Swarovski crystals stacked and shining.

The beautiful Nirvana Petite Indicolite Ring that is just faceted cut to shine like no other. A really huge chunk of Crystal.

The pretty Mini Dark Indigo LoveHeart pendant. It's like the Titanic one but this is just cute.

This is the bigger, bolder Love Heart Fuchsia. I love the intricate-ness of the crystal heart.

Swarovski Angelic Ring which could be an engagement ring. I like it bold and simple.

The simply adorable Noisette Ring with a cute Gary (I call snails Gary! After SpongeBob!) with a petite butterfly!

The intricately beautiful Nightingale Butterfly Bangle. I'm not sure if the butterfly will stay up and not lop down on my wrist.

This is the Radiance Ring and like it's name, isn't it just radiant??? It's so subtle, simple but oh, so, gorgeous.

Fell in love all over again with Swarovski because Candy recently bought the Noisette ring and I discovered the latest collection; Wings of Fancy and that was it. I got hooked to Swarovski ever since.

And I even bought myself a little something-something luxurious. I've never been drawn to jewellery before but the collection is an amalgamation of fantasy, whimsicality and unique-ness synonymous to Swarovski.

Never really liked Swarovski because it's everywhere, from handphone danglers and even pasar malam sells something Swarovski. This collection is authentic and unimitable. It's just dazzling and demure and bold and I absolutely love it!

Mulberry Bags

2011-09-08T18:22:00.000-07:00

This might come too late as these bags has been in the market for quite some time and I'm not outdated, I've loved Mulberry since 2002, when they launched the Bayswater bag and not to mention that I'm dying for an Alexa and a Daria!!! Oh, I forgot to mention that the Mulberry brand is even older than me!! They are 40 Y.O yo!!!

I'm writing this because as we speak, they've recently launched their new flagship store in New York (Where else?) and according to fashionista, it is "5,000 new sq feet of Mulberry-ness"

You can read the whole story here.

The bag that started my love for Mulberry and got me looking forward to future bags. I love the postman lock and I've always thought (or fact?) that Ostrich leather are far more luxurious that the normal leather. Come on, how many of us have a ostrich leather bag?

This is the Alexa Oversize and it's just so effortlessly chic and simple to carry. I love bags that are simple and stylish. I just hate it when bags are designed in a way that it screams the brand and it's just so tacky.

This is the sweet Daria tote and it may seem "blah" but it's subtle design is actually loud with the big Mulberry tree plague but I kinda like it. I don't hate it, I like it.

THIS IS THE EPITOME OF AN "IT" BAG and I WANT IT!!! I'm just loving everything about this upgraded version of the Bayswater. This is the Heritage Bayswater and this just launched for Fall 2011.

Till I get a 5 figure salary, I'll just stick with my Coach bags till I can afford a Mulberry.

Playing Dress Up!

2011-01-08T21:56:00.001-08:00

This was me being a geisha!! You have no idea how difficult it was to put on a kimono as well as breathe! I could barely breathe!!!

This was one unique piece. I turned a long pink scarf into a top and wore a flowy white skirt at the bottom!

I wore this to dance the Latin dances... Very sexy and figure hugging!

I love this ball room dress for the ball... It's breathtakingly beautiful!

My showgirl costume! Took a lot to put this on and being photographed! Feeling very conscious of my body!

I did a lot of stuff while I was in Aussie and it really changed me. I learnt to accept my body and love being with myself. I enjoyed dressing up and in Australia, almost everyone is stylish!

Unlike in Malaysia where people who do not know how to dress disgusts me. In Aussie, people look "put together" in an effortless stylish and chic way. Just like the way the Parisians do it. In Malaysia, people try VERY HARD to achieve the same look.

Anyways, they don't have to be dressed OTT. I hate it. I like casual wear with a certain flair. My personal mantra on wearing T shirts, always make sure it's branded and if it's a STATEMENT Tee, let the statement be readable!

Death by Fashion

2010-12-09T01:19:00.000-08:00

I decided on my light blue Baby Phat, New York Tee with my black Mark & Spencer, Kuala Lumpur 2 way shorts for a short hike and a climb up the rocks in Wollonggong! I love this because the T really clings to your body and the shorts allows extreme lower body movements.

I decided on this floral Motivi dress which was a gift from my sis for my birthday when I visited Taronga Zoo in Sydney! I love this dress because it hugs in all the right places and the uneven lenght of the dress makes it unique!

I love the tie back of this red floral dress from Forever 21, Singapore. I bought this at a steal in Singapore and it gives a whole new meaning to the word "sexy back"

This is the front of the dress. Seems decent in front and the cotton material of this dress is so breezy and it falls perfectly!

Wore this boob floral dress from Love It, Curve, Damansara when I went to Blue Mountains because this dress is light, flowy and breezy! Suitable for the hot summer weather here!

I tried on this floral wrap around tube dress from Blockout, Sydney because it's so unique and a one in a million piece and it hugs every curve in your body.

This is a simple dress but I feel so Mamma Mia! in it. This was a gift from XY which was from Forever 21, Malaysia.

I got this dress for a steal at 10AUD from Paper Scissors. Even though it's a long dress, I love that it shows off some of my curves!

Was supposed to do this a long time ago but due to a lot of personal problems, it has been delayed and honestly, this blog, was the last thing on my mind. Now, I'm back, better, stronger and wiser and I'm back to business!

Hope you know my style by now. I love dresses that are easy to wear and I love floral designs and lace and ribbons. Oh, I love colours too! I know that every woman should have a LBD but, I don't own any.

My wardrobe is bright and summer all year round. Hope you enjoy this. Next post, I'll be playing dress up!

NEW ME!

2010-02-10T22:49:00.000-08:00

It's the new year (Chinese!) and I'm gonna try to do something new. Instead of pretend shopping, I'll be featuring myself and maybe what I wear as I lead my life. Don't get me wrong, I will still be pretend shopping but you'll find posts about me as well!

Reasons why I (think!) I would be interesting:

1) I'm not your quintessential stick model that has the perfect measurements. I'm like every other girl who are perfectly imperfect.

2) I've built up an impressive collection of clothes over the year and I think they deserve some credit!

3) I love clothes, I love fashion but I'm not a follower.

4) I live in a country where the weather is really unpredictable. It could be summer hot and with rain.

5) I like a good mix in my closet and I have some designer labels as well as cheap, practical stuff too!

6) I live in a relatively small country of 26.7M population and I want the world to see the fashion we have in my country.

7) I don't like spending huge amount of money on clothes but if there's an interesting piece, then it's worth it.

8) I'm a complicated person (like everyone else!) and my clothes are a mish mash of stuff! I'm more of a girly girl so you'll find lots of dresses and feminine outfits.

9) People who are bigger think that they should live in sweatpants and a huge T but I beg to differ. You just need to find clothes that flatter and presentable.

10) You'll get to know me and what I like better and maybe you can comment on my sense of style (or the lack of it!)

Back then, I was a tomboy. I generally wore shorts and T-shirts all the way, everyday. I didn't think I would fit into those pretty dresses or cute skirts or anything for that matter. I wasn't skinny back then so, buying clothes is difficult.

When I grew up, I realised that I could fit into dresses if I would just try them on. Very soon, instead of me, fitting the clothes, I got my confidence by the clothes fitting me!!! Well, I do occasionally look like a dumpling in some clothes and may have to hold my breath just to fit into a dress but I don't pressure myself anymore.

I do just for the fun. If I look good, I'll buy it and I'm never ashamed to ask for 1 size bigger. Girl, there's such a thing as a cutting and sometimes, you didn't put on weight, the cutting is just small. What's a problem of going up 1 dress size?

Being in Asia is a little tough because everyone are RIDICULOUSLY small. Girls over here, rarely have boobs and they should all be on the runway. They are all stick thin, the way Asian women are SUPPOSED to be. I realised in life that you can never be thin enough or pretty enough so, I just stopped trying and fell in love with myself.

So, there you have it. Can I count on your support? I'm still relatively new at this whole outfit posts but hope you're patient. Will get the hang of it soon enough.

H! by Henry Holland + H&M Garden

2010-01-29T20:32:00.000-08:00

This season, we look forward to the much anticipated collection from H&M (The Garden Collection) as well as from UK's Debenhams (H! by Henry Holland) These two collection has created a lot of stir in the fashion industry. Here's why!

PRESENTING THE VERY BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION FROM H&M!!! THE GARDEN COLLECTION!!! Like the name of the collection, every piece is bright and pretty like flowers in a garden. The clothes are basic enough for everyday wear and pretty enough to keep you smiling through the day!!!

Florals has often been associated with declaration of love, romantic gestures, flowy, bright and feminine. Elements that are captured by the collection. The best part? The collection is made from sustainable materials such as organic cotton, organic linen, recycled polyester and even tencel. Good for the environment and your conscience. Indulge in March!

For more details on the price list and general information, visit H&M Garden Collection.

The next collection is Debenhams Designer Exclusive H! by Henry Holland. HH is one of the most inspiring designer which I personally love for his slogan tee's such as 'I’ll show you who’s boss Kate Moss', 'Cum again Christopher Kane', and 'Do me in the park Marc' and his label House of Holland. His design is pretty much flashy, out there, and cool.

You can expect are playful printed pieces, mini dresses, re-worked jackets, skinny jeans, and band T-shirts. The collection is very fashion forward and would appeal to younger customers. Hey, if Agness Deyn loves it, then you should too!!

Perfect for Fall: Scarves Galore!

2009-11-06T19:22:00.000-08:00

When it's fall or Autumn, I seriously wish I was a giraffe! A huge, long necked animal so I can show off ALL my scarves! As a Uni student, I CANNOT tell you how important scarves are to me! Sometimes, I'm too lazy and I just throw on a black T over a short denim skirt. I'm not an accessories kinda girl and lecture theatres are real cold so I just grab my scarf on my way out and I'm done!

Recently, I'm in love with scarves!!! I blame it on season and Uni for being so darn cold! I love being warm and toasty!! Anyways, I went shopping online and was tempted to buy all of these scarves. I've already given the Parentals a heart attack by crashing the car, I can't bring myself to shock them with credit card bills!

Anyways, here's some of my season's favourites!! From steals to splurges, Glamourous to bohemian to preppy and lots of references to Gossip Girl. Well, nobody does it better! Oh, all prices shown are in USD unless stated otherwise. Hope you enjoy it and maybe you'll buy it for yourself and me!! *crosses fingers*

OLD NAVY Fleece Scarves $5.00 (17 designs available)
I have to say that I LOVE stripes as much as I love floral and cultural prints. I love these really cute scarves from Old Navy and it's a steal at only $5!!! Seriously, I want them ALL!!!

BANANA REPUBLIC Cashmere Wrap $98.00 (5 colors available)
NOTHING IN THE WORLD looks so glamourous than a cashmere wrap!!! Think 5th Avenue, Upper East Side Manhattan or Lily Van der Woodsen-Bass-Humphrey in Gossip Girl. Doesn't she look so polished and pulled together with a cashmere wrap?

Forever 21 Yarny Zig Zag Scarf $7.80
I kinda like this because it's very bohemian. Think downtown Meatpacking District or Gansevoort Market (official name)in New York where it's always hip and fashionable! Or you can copy Vanessa Abrams bohemian look in Gossip Girl.

ANTROPOLOGIE Enveloped-In-Petals Scarf $128.00
This scarf reminds me of Gucci's Flora perfume. Somehow, they just complement each other. I love the cute little daisies on the baby soft yarn from lambswool and angora! So very pretty!

ANTROPOLOGIE Matryoshka Muffler $42.00
The reason I love travelling is because I love immersing myself in a different culture. Travelling so much and living in a multicultural country really allows me to appreciate culture even more! One culture that I really love is the Russian culture. The Matryoshka has long been associated with the Russian almost as long as vodka! This scarf is really unique because I normally see Santa or snowman's but NEVER, EVER Matryoshka dolls!

NEW YORK & CO Argyle Knit Scarf $22.95 (5 colors availabale)
You can wear Argyle prints even though you're not in an Ivy League institution or in Oxford! Argyle prints are very preppy and it just makes you look so smart!

NEW YORK & CO Metallic Leopard Knit Scarf $19.95 (2 colors available)
This will pull your party outfit together!!! It's sexy and kinky and both decorative and functional since it's sexy and keeps you warm.

MARKS AND SPENCER Cashmilon™ Paisley Print Scarf £7.50
This print is real nice because of the tribal print. It's nice in a way because it's so fashionable and cultural as well.

DEBENHAMS RADLEY Yellow Kew Gardens Woven Scarf £40.00
From the company that brought you the Scottish Terrier, this scarf is perfect for those chilly autumn while walking in a garden with the one you love admiring the burnt leaves as they fall to the ground!

NORDSTROM Echo Ikat Floral Wrap $48.00 (3 colors available)
This is perfect for those who wants bright, bold colors to brighten up any dull outfits. I like it for the bright, floral prints.

COACH Skinny C Scarf $98.00 (7 designs available)
For some class, you could put this on and it'll turn an ordinary person into a polished individual. I just like it cause I love Coach!

Cotton On Vintage Printed Gausse Scarf 15.95 AUD
This is the scarf I recently bought at Cotton On. I instantly fell in love with the color and of course the flowers. I love the vintage look as well. It is affordable and real pretty!

Little things that makes me happy, pretty things that makes me smile, When i'm feeling just a little crappy, I think of all the little things that makes me happy!

Maxi Dresses

2009-11-01T04:32:00.000-08:00

Billabong Senorita Dress (A$99.99)
I love this little gem!!! The bright colors are so fun and it's cottony material is just so comfy! Perfect for everyday wear!

Nookie Beach Island Life Maxi (A$159.95)
The summer print is so perfect for warm days and it's pink print is sure to chase your blues away!

Children of The Sun Maxi Dress (A$129.95)
This is a personal favourite of mine because it's simply stunning!!! Need I say more? STUNNING!!!

Victoria's Secret Maxi Dress (USD 99)
This dress is really a no frills basic and simple maxi dress. The halter top reveals just enough. Haven't you heard the Golden Rule! Always expose the top or the bottom (legs!) or you'll just look like a prude! Reveal top AND bottom, and you're a whore!

Victoria's Secret Halter Maxi Dress in Cotton (USD 65)
This simply gorgeous and flowy dress is just like the dress Colbie Caillat wore in her Fallin For You video. I guarantee that it will be as flowy as hers!

Forever 21 Luscious Floral Maxi (USD 24.80)
This is another very "quiet" piece. Not boring but perfect for those who doesn't wanna stand out in a crowd.

Forever 21 Strapless Country Maxi (USD 24.80)
This is a cute piece that doesn't scream SEXY! Instead it screams COMFORT!! The strapless dress shows off enough skin and I just love it!

I watched Season 3 of Gossip Girl and almost all female cast (below 30!) wore maxi dresses! Serena wore hers sexy, showing off some amount of skin, Vanessa wore hers simple with lots of accessories and Bree wore hers looking like a million dollars!

After I crashed the car and stitches all over my legs, I realized the importance of having at least 1 Maxi dress in my closet! A Maxi dress would come in handy to cover my stitches and let it recover. Hide all the scars from everyone's prying eyes!

Well, I like mine to show off just enough of skin and it has to be floral/watercolor painting kind of design. Anyways, If you see a maxi dress that you absolutely love but you're probably too shy to wear it out, just buy it! Real pretty maxi dresses DO NOT come often.

If you think you can't pull off the maxi dress, think again. Use a cincher if you think the dress makes you look preggers (commom problem) or if you think it's shapeless.

I owe you an apology for neglecting my blog! I was in China for a week and summer in China was just awesome! I was at Shanghai and Hangzhou. 756 pieces of pictures documenting my whole trip can be found HERE!

You don't need to wait for Summer or Spring to wear florals or peasant blouses because in Malaysia, technically, anything goes! Well, we're geographically blessed to have summer and only summer!

If your weather doesn't allow you to dress up in summer garbs, just get a wallet! It'll definitely remind you of summer or spring! My whole wardrobe is based on summer and spring clothes. I love flowers so, it's incorporated as much into my daily lifestyle!

Anyways, these aren't necessarily in fashion but it's MY PICK for what's in fashion now and forever! These pieces are simple and basic pieces that goes well with denim or some plain shoes! The key is to look "put together" in an effortless way! People know if you've tried too hard on your clothes.

These pieces are just good to go! It goes well with messy out-of-bed hair, jeans or denim skirt, plain hobo bag with simple wedges or flats and you're done! You're dressed, comfortable and look good in less than 15 minutes!

Anyways, I do not just pick Forever 21, they just happen to sell some beautiful clothes! Another thing that is worth mentioning is the Hed Kandi collection at Miss Selfridge!!! It's just so fresh and island-ish!!!

To view THE ENTIRE COLLECTION, click HED KANDI for Miss Selfridge!

Molton Brown London

Molton Brown Atoll Crystal Bath Soak (£22.00)

Molton Brown Cedrus Room Aroma Rock (£30.00)

Molton Brown 2009 Women's Traveller (£39.00)

Molton Brown is my next best thing after Acca Kappa. Unlike Acca Kappa whose heritage is in wooden hand made brushes, Molton Brown's heritage is in aromatherapy. They were the pioneers in aromatherapy since 1973 with the first store in 58 South Molton Street in London's Mayfair.

Molton Brown products are hand made where necessary with limited help from technology. Some processes are done by hand. This is really classic and rare in the industry nowadays.

Anyways, I especially love the 2009 Women's Traveller. I'm in the lookout for a nice traveller bag to store my beauty stuff when I travel. (God knows I travel too much!) People often comment that I bring too much stuff. So, I might get the women's traveller.

Oh! Before I forget, Molton Brown was feautured on the segment of Stripped on E! Was amazingly proud of that segment! Really classy and it has the feel of exclusivity!

Ms. Taken Fake Engagement Ring

2009-07-05T07:43:00.000-07:00

We all know or at least experienced those annoying "Casanovas" that only wanna get in your pants, giving us a hard time when we're having fun. Well, I've experienced these type of jerks on numerous occasions.

Imagine you and your girlfriends, dressed to kill, dancing the night away, just having fun when suddenly this douchebag approach you and you could feel his eyes swallowing you and having his ways with you and you immediately feel disgusted.

Worst, the word "NO" doesn't freaking exist in the douchebag's vocabulary! It's either he's very persistent or over confident. Anyways, here's a pretty solution that EVERY WOMEN SHOULD HAVE!

Take a cue from this video titled Puke in My Mouth, a video response to Jizz in My Pants by The Lonely Island.

As shown on YouTube, the infamous Ms. Taken fake engagement ring!!! How awesome is that??

It comes in a key chain so you can store your precious gem in it. It's a 2-carat Australian crystal ring in a stainless steel setting and it only costs $50.

For more information: check Ms. Taken out!!! Well, if you're going to fake that you're married to the man of your dreams, might as well keep it real!

HP Mini Vivienne Tam

2009-06-17T00:37:00.000-07:00

I'm sooooo proud that I spotted a trend before it became popular.. I don't mean to blow my own horn but *toot* *toot*

Anyways, if you guys watched the latest videos by Black Eyed Peas titled I Got a Feeling and PussyCat Doll's Hush Hush, you would notice the beautifully stunning fuchsia coloured notebook or netbook in the video. Well, fashionistas... Remember, you saw it here FIRST!!

This HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam edition featuring a blooming purple sakura with a fuchsia pink background is so lovely!

The keyboards are even fuchsia colored and it's EVERY fashionista accessory!

The new "IT" thing every fashionista MUST HAVE isn't a Birkin tote, a hot, hunky BF (though they NEVER run out of style!) or a cute baby, but the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam LIMITED EDITION netbook!

For those who have no idea who Vivienne Tam is, please do everyone a favour and Google or wiki her! You know you're somebody if you've made it big in New York and have shops in most major cities. Her style is more of a blend of modern and Chinese and it can be seen in the HP Mini.

The "digital clutch" performs most basic functions such as Microsoft Office, net surfing and etc. Of course you do not expect to play Hi-Def games or use all sorts of software! Just think BASIC computer functions.

I'm so sorry for not updating the blog as often as we all like because I've been rather busy this few months with cultural expeditions, academic work and my hectic social life that i've not been shopping!

I cannot begin to tell you that shirt-dresses are soooo "IN" this season! The trend was built upon the idea of a wild night out that ended up with "getting some" at a guy's place and you just wore his shirt with a belt or a cincher to work because you don't have the ime to go home and change.

The shirt dress is sexy and formal and it leave people wondering what you've been up to last night! Well, I'm all our for shirt dresses this season! Oh, shirt dresses with really short hems and see through are a huge no-no. It just sends out the message that you're a whore.

A decent shirt dress goes well with messy hair , flats and a simple bag. That's another thing I love about shirt dresses, they're simple to wear, uncomplicated, comfy and goes well with simple accessories! Enjoy!!

Roc candy is like a toffee and it's the opposite of your gummy bears! I don't take gummy bears or worms because they contain gelatine, some form of ingredient derived from cows. Cow's fat if i'm not mistaken!

Roc candy is opposite hence it's called ROC CANDY!! Somehow, not only it's pretty, its edible too! For those with a creative inclination, you may want to varnish it to make pretty, one of a kind jewellery. Don't ask me how but I've come across some technique to turn pasta or gummy candy into jewellery!

Jai Ho!

2009-04-12T22:33:00.000-07:00

With Slumdog Millionaire winning so many awards, it’s only fair for me to introduce the Indian inspired fashion! India is a land of many wonders; home to the Taj Mahal and the 2nd most populated country after China. Indians loves colors. The colors are dizzyingly bright, bold and so beautiful. When you see colors like Mandarin orange, Ruby red, Emerald/Jade green, Fuchsia pink, beautiful embroidered materials, you have to think of India.

Will be launching a line of clothes soon. Sorry for the lack of new things to buy!! My shopping time has been replaced by meetings, coffee talks, photo shoots, discussions, HTML codings, assignments, work and handling so many other things! I enjoy working hard for my money so Haters, shut the hell up!!

Will be launching 2 lines simultaneously so be prepared!! Here's some of the dresses on offer:

A classic white on white sleeveless dress with eyelets and lace. Very pretty and 1 piece only.

You Ain’t Living If You’re Not Living The Life!

2009-03-16T08:09:00.000-07:00

Readers of my blog, you may come to the conclusion that I’m some high maintenance bimbo that is not only materialistic but also a fake wannabe. Yea, call me whatever you want because it’s nothing new and I’ve heard it all before. The meanest thing you can even think of, I’ve heard it.

I believe in Human Rights and if I’m exercising my right to disseminate information and you can exercise your right to NOT read what I write. I don’t see the connection that you read what I write and condemn me for it! I certainly have no way to make you read what you don’t want!

If you hate me then you’re just a jealous hater! You need to get a life cause sista/brother, you ain’t living if you’re not living the life! Only a privileged few will be able to appreciate and enjoy my lifestyle! Make sure you stare at my Hilfinger watch and Chloe dress when you’re giving me the New York once over!

Anyways, I started this blog because I want to share my life with others who are not so fortunate. Even if I’m broke, I’ll going to look flashy broke! Life itself is difficult and without little luxuries, How can I live my life?

Nothing describes the feeling of brushing your teeth with Acca Kappa toothbrush and toothpaste at 6-45AM and then brushing your hair with Acca Kappa’s luxury brush! I love my Paul Smith perfume and little pink purse and my indulgent purchase of a pair of Nine West!

You see, luxury and brands make me happy! If I had my way, stalks of Vera Wang champagne colored roses will adorn my house!

To really spoil myself silly, I indulge my senses with some Moet & Chandon champagne, Laduree macaroons and to top it all off, a bite into my favorite Godiva truffles!! Now, that’s what I call heavenly!

Anyways, Hate all you want… If you love me then thank you, If you hate me then, f**k you!!For those who truly love my blog, thanks for your support!! Really appreciate it!!

Little things that makes me happy, pretty things that makes me smile, When i'm feeling just a little crappy, I think of all the little things that makes me happy!

Aston Martin VOLANTE Me!!

2009-03-01T01:01:00.000-08:00

Picture of a red Aston Martin Volante courtesy of http://www.astonmartin.com/

I got really excited when the Aston Martin DB 9 was used in James Bond Casino Royale and Aston Martins ALWAYS get me excited!! Just as I thought the DB 9 was THE car, Aston Martin DID NOT disappoint me with the new Volante!!

There’s something so exciting about the English! The first 2 men that I’ve ever and still love is English! (Hugh Grant and Mark Ronson, if you must know!!) There’s something so sexy about the English (The cars, the men, Prince William and Harry just to name a few!)

All your excitement will end on March 3rd, 2009 for those of you who are lucky enough to be able to attend the Geneva Auto Salon in Switzerland. For those of you who MUST know about the technical specs of the car, I’m just going to summarize the Press Kit.

Power is provided by Aston Martin’s hand-built all alloy 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS), and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque with a top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h) and 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 4.3 seconds. The nature of the V12, and in particular the torque available at all engine speeds, serves to provide effortless driving in all situations.

In standard specification, the DBS has a rear-mounted six-speed manual gearbox, while an automatic six-speed ‘Touchtronic’ option is also available. As with the coupe, the Volante is offered with carbon ceramic brakes as standard providing exceptional stopping power. Benefitting from materials derived from the motorsport and aerospace industries, the bonnet, front wings and boot lid are made from carbon fibre all helping to reduce weight.

Anyways, for those of you who are lucky to have the real car, i’m envious and congrats!! You’ve made it!! But for those of you who are like me, (The ALMOST there ones!) satisfy yourselves with some pictures and maybe screensavers.

http://www.astonmartin.com/eng/gallery/imagegallery/db9 (I’m a FAN of the DB 9!!)

Bangkok Stuffs!!!

2008-07-11T09:42:00.000-07:00

I don't know why I love Boots Facial Toner so much!! Maybe I have something for exotic ingredients.. This bottle contains Iceland Moss.. Now, I don't even know or heard about Iceland Moss before but I sure love the subtle scent and the simple design of the transparent white bottle with a silver srew on cap.
The most luxurious bubble bath EVER!! I swear by this. Boots Skinny Dipper Bubble Bath!! The scent isn't overpowering but it leaves a lingering fruity scent on your skin after bathing!! Maybe because of its promiscuous name and suggestive bottle design and description that made me pick this up the last time I was in Bangkok!! The smell is soooooo heavenly!! After a long day, I just lather some on and take deep breaths of the scent and it transports me back to Bangkok! So amazing!!

So happy I got my stuff!! Lots of thanks again to A. Serena and Xavier!! Been dying to get them ever since mine is running low!!

Rihanna wore the Polo Piaget in the music video Take A Bow. But I love the Piaget’s Possession. The watch is a real beauty! The Possession watch now takes us on a journey of the hours...

Cars, oh-so-sexy cars!!

2008-06-09T04:20:00.000-07:00

Ever since the last time i drove the Mazda 3, I fell in love with the new Mazda 6. (Hopefully Padrekins gets the car and let me drive!) This baby is the Mazda 6 4-doors. The one thing i love about the Mazda cars is the comfortable drive. Besides that, it's responsive in a way that you feel like you're one with the car. The whole package. I love the beautiful look as well as the performance. The new Mazda6 has a feature that presses a button to start its engine just like the Aston Martin. Cool huh? If i were to buy this car, I want it black on black with with a 17-inch wheels.

For more details, visit: http://www.mazda.co.uk/Showroom/Mazda6

One of the most gorgeous car or my favourite car ever is the Aston Martin DB9. I love the the shape. It's like the Vanquish model but with a more edgy look. With 19-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels, and the already-powerful 6.0-liter V12 gets 20 more horses for a total of 470 horsepower.The max speed for this beauty is 190 mph. The transmission system is a six-speed manual gearbox and ‘Touchtronic 2’ six-speed gearbox with electronic shift-by-wire control system. The best part, its a convertible. I love this silver color, just like James Bond's car. It really is a pretty baby isn't it?

Bag snob? Not me!

2008-06-08T00:08:00.000-07:00

This Madeline tote is just too pretty! It comes with a pretty scarf to match the color of the bag. I love bags that comes with a pretty scarf! Scarves are one of the little ingenius ways you can really make a simple bag one of a kind. These 2 bags are from Coach. It cost USD 358 for a medium tote..

This special bag gets its name from the founder of Escada, Margaretha Lay, a tribute to her unique and lovely style. This bag may as well be a celebrity in its own right as its featured in Sex And The City. The Moorish design on the bag makes it distinguishable and one of a kind is printed on cotton canvas and the rest of the bag is lamb Napa leather. This bag is sure to be a classic, sold exclusively at Escada boutiques for USD 1,750...

I'm not exactly a bag person. I don't splurge on bags even though its like a necessity for me. As long as my blue scarfed and patented brown bag which I got for a bargain in Bangkok last, I don't think I'll bother getting another bag. However, I love those huge totes where "everything goes!" type of bag. Besides, I'm so picky, I don't buy a bag just because its by Louis Vuitton or Coach.

The bag has to appeal to me. And if it does, I'll buy it regarding it's a designer item or not. Everything has to have a label.. But a bag is ok. I just hated the Anya Hindmarch I'm Not A Plastic Bag bag trend because of the fakes. It's so degrading. A little tip: Don't ever buy a fake! Buying a label-less and designer-less bag is waaaay better than buying a fake!

PS: Watch this space out cause my next post will be on the cars i love!! (and wish to own!) Oh, for those who have no idea, I love cars. Advantage of being brought up in a car loving environment mostly due to my dad! Anyways, keep reading!

Designer Champagne and Chocolates

2008-06-06T07:43:00.000-07:00

The most expensive chocolates in the worlds are Knipschildt Chocolatier. Opening the handmade paper box that houses the Knipschildt Signature Chocolate Collection is like peeking into a treasure chest! Each handcrafted chocolate is an artistic handmade jewel. The different sizes, shapes, and textures all compliment one another to create the ultimate chocolate experience.
The flavor combinations are modern takes on classic favorites that are created by using only the highest quality ingredients. Each bite is even more incredible than the last, leaving you wanting to explore the entire box.
Freshness is at the core of the Knipschildt philosophy. Raw chocolate, fresh cream, fresh butter along with fresh fruit, nuts, herbs, and seasonings are the simple ingredients used to create these masterful chocolates. For a Medium box of 20 pieces, it'll cost you USD 32..

For more information, visit :

http://www.knipschildt.com/flash.html

The most famous chocolates in the world got to be Godiva Chocolates. Named after Lady Godiva who rode around town on a white horse naked to prove a point to her husband. No other chocolates arouse such passion in their devotees. We cannot say whether it's their decadently silky centers, their sensuously rounded forms, or their sinfully rich fillings. We can, however, assure there is nothing quite like yielding to that persistent craving for the French Vanilla, the Extra Dark Chocolate, or the Smooth Coconut. To be savored slowly for the highest level of chocolate indulgence.A box of 18 pieces of truffles sells for USD 36..

For more information, visit:

http://www.godiva.com/welcome.aspx

The most elaborate and dramatic (just like me!) champagne has to be Perrier-Jouet.. I love the pretty fleur design on the bottles. Like what Oscar Wilde said, "Beauty is a form of genius" (and i'm a living testament to that!) A bottle of Belle Epoque retails for GBP 80..

For more information, visit:

http://www.perrier-jouet.com/

Another world class champagne is Moet & Chandon. There are 5 categories which are; White Star, Rose Imperial, Nectar Imperial, and Grand Vintage. Retails from GBP 140 TO GBP 200 with the Grand Vintage being the most expensive.

I learned it the hard way to never trust guys. The only one thing they ever want is to get laid. And then i quote Sex and the City, Carrie: "New York City is all about sex. People getting it, people trying to get it, people who can't get it. No wonder the city never sleeps. It's too busy trying to get laid." - "The Drought" Well, times like these, I'm glad i have the company of 3 men who'll get me company, make me happy and most importantly, loves me for me! The 3 men are Jack Daniel, Jim Beam, and Jose Cuervo... I know you'll always be there for me guys!!

I love all the duty free stuff. Chocolates and booze. I'm not a "ruffian" as my bro put it. "Ruffian" refers to a rough person and in his case, those who consumes beer. Ironic, cause we can down a lot of beers like crazy!! I'm more of a Vodka-Rum-Whiskey person.

Besides that, I LOVE alcohol and chocolates!! Like what Homer Simpson said, "Ah, Alcohol.... the cause and solutions to all life's problems" I take that quote pretty seriously! One thing i cannot live without is Champagne. I love champers especially if its bubbly. And i find it a very tasteful gift! Someone actually gave me a bottle of champers a few years back as a gift. It was such a good idea!!!

Chocolates especially Godiva is very comforting. When all seems wrong, a box of Godiva never disappoints and always cheers me up. Remember in Gossip Girl, Blair was de-throned as the Queen Bee and she slept with a box of Godiva chocolates. Have you tasted it? It's out of this world! It's smooth, creamy and rich in flavour!! Chocolatey goodness!! You know, guys are like chocolate, they're bad for me and yet I can't leave them alone!

Hermes is a luxury brand that spells EXPENSIVE!! However, since i'm a sucker for nice beautiful webpages, Hermes is a definite winner!! The illustrations are the cutest!! They inspire and encourage one to browse, shop and slowly make up one's mind..

I find the baby stuff here are REALLY cute!! Maybe i should register my wedding gifts here! lol!! If anyone of my close friends were to have a baby, I'll get them the little Hermes baby charm, baby bracelet, blanky, and ALL my friend's babies will get a Hermes horse! It's so cute, no? Provided I get paid really well!! And it only applies to Shi Nee Lee Freeman, Ili Alia Bakhtiar-Tan, Wee Xiying, and Sabrina Deandra.

Never in my life i saw anything cuter!! I think every baby deserves a Hermes!! Start em liking designer stuff when they're still young... If I EVER have a baby, it'll be all Hermes... Like what Ili Alia Bakhtiar-Tan said, " Once Ava, Ian, Ken and Ivy is born, I'm dressing them in Baby Dior, Baby Chanel, Baby Everything!!"

Macaroons at Laduree

2008-05-31T07:40:00.000-07:00

My box of delightful macaroons!!! Their taste is out of this world... All the tasty flavours in a box!

A limited edition flavor which i unfortunately didn't try! The flavor is called Aris.. sounds good?

A box like this is called Carre Rose and contains 24 macaroons... cost 30 pounds..
A little box of 6 is called Réglette lilas 6 macarons and retails for 12 pounds..
You can never get over the crisp once you bite into it and into the soft and smooth middle!

These small, round cakes, crisp on the outside, smooth and soft in the middle! So sinful!
This is a boite cristal box that houses 24 macaroons and costs 37 pounds..
Laduree macaroons comes packed in an array of boxes of your choice. The price for the amount of macaroons is the same... Just the preferred design of the Laduree boxes!
This is an exclusive box called the Boite Bonaparte after Bonaparte that costs 33 pounds for 18 macaroons..
This is the reglette noire box that comes with 6 macaroons and costs the same 12 pounds...

I don't think anyone has tasted the out-of-this-world taste of Laduree's Macaroon... Let me introduce those unfortunate ones about these luxurious food called macaroons... Macaroons small, round cakes, crisp on the outside, smooth and soft in the middle.. It comes in assortment of flavours made fresh daily.. If you ever have the chance to go to London, do try Laduree's macaroons!! You'll never forget the taste as long as you live!!

The best macaroons HAVE to be purchased in Laduree cafe, located in Harrod's. They sell the BEST macaroons IN THE WORLD!! No kidding!! Macaroons are French creation but let me say this in Spanish; Macaron del vida (Macaroons of life!) Thats sums up Laduree's macaroons!

A little history lesson on Laduree... It all began in 1862, when Louis Ernest Ladurée, a miller from France’s southwest, created a bakery at 16 rue Royale in Paris. Ernest Ladurée’s wife, Jeanne Souchard, daughter of a well-known hotelier in Rouen, had the idea of mixing styles: thus the Parisian café and pastry shop gave birth to one of the first tea salons in town.

The ‘‘salon de thé’’ had a definite advantage over the cafés of the pooch: they permitted ladies to gather in freedom. Jeanne Souchard succeeded in combining the turn-of-the-century trend to modernism with knowledge of the merits of a craft transmitted by her family.

The rue Royale tea room was enlarged in the middle of the twentieth century by Pierre Desfontaines, second cousin of Louis Ernest Ladurée. When he retired, his son, Jean Marie, and his niece, Dominique, presided over the tea salon.

This site imbued with a refined atmosphere and charged with history seduced David Holder and his father Francis Holder, founder of the Holder Group.In 1993, they decided to buy this Parisian institution, and promote and enlarge the famous ‘Maison’. In 1997, a new prestigious Ladurée address both a restaurant and tea room opened on the Champs-Elysées.

http://www.shoptommy.com/tommy/browse/productDetailWithPicker.jsp?productId=1M50122340&categoryId=1M01&parentCategoryId=1M

Nothing beats the preppy-ness of a classic, well tailored, crisp white shirt. No one does white shirts like my favourite designers Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren. I've no idea which shirt to buy... I've always loved Tommy but I adore Ralph Lauren (somehow, he reminds me of Hugh Hefner!)

Anyways, I was looking for a decent white shirt with xiying and I didn't find anything that I like. It's either, the shirt is see-through, popping buttons, or with a wide gap!! It's appaling!! I think that shirts are extremely versatile. Undo the the top buttons and dress it with denim for a casual look and button it all up and pair it with a black skirt or a well tailored pants and you get to go from business to leisure... I love shirts.. But personally, it's the most tiresome piece of clothing because i hate it that I'll have to think of what shoes, how to tie my hair, accessories, etc..

My friend actually once said, "Oh My God! You actually look hot in formal clothes!!" the very first time he saw me in them.. and subsequently the last time! A white shirt should be a staple like rice... Dress it up or dress it down.. I just love em.. I have an unexplained love-hate relationship with white shirts!! I'm messy and I'll have to be very careful. But I love it that it's so versatile!!

Anyways, as I ponder which designer to support, I hope I can count on your support!! As you keep reading my blog, you'll know what my style is. I love fuss free clothes. Clothes have to be able to mix and match, as well as make me look immaculate... No one wants to look like they've tried really hard to make their outfits work!! Most importantly, my clothes need to have a label.. Label says it all... Classy, Authentic and Fashionista!!

As my first post, let me introduced the purpose of this blog. As you all already know, i'm materialistic. I love shopping and i love a lot of stuff. This blog is to list and capture all my wants and to make it easier for those who wants to get me presents but have no idea what i want. Like i mentioned before, materialism runs in my family!!

I love shopping and whenever i'm feeling down, i shop. I believe in retail therapy. I find it very therapeutic. Thats why all my life, i've been schooled near shopping malls and my house is right in the middle of major malls. When the time comes, i'll be grateful for what i have. Till then, I'll settle on how to get the things I don't have. Shopping is an escapism for me. Like an addictive drug.

I love shopping so much that Madrekins says that i donate my money to malls instead of deserving recipients. Padrekins knows the only way to make me happy is to give me money so I can spend it at the nearest mall. I love labels. My first splurge is a very pretty Tommy Hilfiger watch. Padrekins goes to New York quite often and it's also a plus. Thats why most of my Links are to US retail outlets. I don't really like high street couture (haute couture!) cause it's just not functional. If i'm attending Cannes, then of course, high street couture is the way to go.

Let me tell you of the little things i love.. I love expensive stuff. Call me a snob but, even biscuits have to be a product. I think the best biscuit makers are in the UK. I love Break In Digestives from Mark's & Spencer and I love Macaroon. Macaroons have to be from Cafe Laduree right next to Harrods. They serve the BEST TASTING macaroons ever!!

In the world, there's some girls who are obsessed with Bags, Shoes, Clothes, and Accessories. I'm more of a clothes and accessories type of person. I LOVE bracelets, charm bracelets, bangles... I love em chunky or discrete. I love clothes also. I love clothes so much, that i have to dress down. I try to do that nowadays, a polo with my denim skirt. You can't dress down any more than that. When i'm too lazy to think of what to wear, I love dresses. At the moment, I'm in love with cardigans. I have too many in an assortment of colors that Madrekins has threatened to donate some. However, I'm still searching for a cashmere cropped cardigan. Saw the perfect one in Bendel's. Another thing I love are watches... I love them even more if they are studded with Swarowski crystals.

Little things that makes me happy, pretty things that makes me smile, when i'm feeling just a little crappy, I think of all the little things that makes me happy!!

Anyways, yea... the blog is just to let the public and willing donor to buy me something... easier, rite? Makes life really easy... till then, wait till i'm done with my online shopping first!!

Shopping for the next best damn thing!
