Colours

It's definitely time for the current trend in fashion, Colour-Blocking!

Got this loose silk top from Topshop while ago when Gracia visited me and she fell in love with the red skirt immediately after we saw it in Zara Liat Towers which unfortunately ran out of size XS, but that doesn't stop her from wanting it that we had to go to Zara stores islandwide just to get this in her size, which is totally worth it as Gladys fit in too. Sharing clothes are just the best thing sisters, mom and daughter can do!

Silk top from Topshop, Red Skirt and Magenta heels from Zara latest collection!

this will also mark another long hiatus because of our busy schedule.

Well, you guys might have seen some of their pieces featured on the last post, 

and they were actually having a challenge for bloggers to dress ourselves or our readers wearing their clothing!

so we decided to pick up this piece called "Marcia", a very versatile piece I could say.

 the material is soft and comfortable and the best thing is its suitable to be worn for a formal and casual occasion. So here we are showing you how you could style it for both occassion.

For the casual look, we decided pair it up with the Miu Miu bow satchel in grey and the mickey mouse cap to add in more hippie touch!

For the formal look, we chose the YSL Clutch and threw in a cropped blazer to make the look more formal!
Model was wearing watch by Marc by Marc Jacobs, necklace from Svarovski and pumps from Jessica Simpson.

Just go to Noël Caleb facebook page, click "like"
then u guys will see the post made by them,

I am the finalist number 3, and I really really hope you guys will help me to vote!

that means a lot for me

not to mention the prize will be the apparels chosen by us, the next season outfit and of course tickets to their fashion show, for us, and of course for one of our readers too (no worry, its a pair, so u can bring ur couple) and it might be you! :)

Thank you!

The Inaugural Mens' Fashion Week

Big thanks to the Word of Mouth Communication team who was so kind to invite me to the first and most prestigious fashion week ever in Singapore Fashion history, The Mens' Fashion Week 2011.
It is not only the first one in Singapore, but It is indeed, the first one in South East Asia!
So here are some compilation of the shows that I managed to attend!

Bodybound

Bodybound by Kim Choong Wilkins is the first show that Fhenny and I attended, Thanks God I had a companion for the night. Awesome was the word to describe this whole collection. The future forward style and the craftmanship in every single piece of clothings featured. My favorite pick will definitely be the sparkling sweater with spiked sleeves later on featured on Designare Homme Magazine with my favourite model in it, Carlos Macedo, shown above.
The brand that had started back in 2009 was using black as the colour theme
and in Bodybound,
There is nothing masculine about being reserved, Menswear needs to be dazzling again, and that is what we strive for.

 Passion by David Gan.
Fashion by Jason

This is probably one of the best collaboration between local fashion designer and local hair stylist.

David Gan is no other than the hair maestro in Singapore and featuring the new comer in the local fashion industry, Jason by JR Chan.

The collection kept everyone wondering because no news were given before the show and definitely it was exciting since it was the first all male models hair show ever done by our own celebrity hair stylist.

When the fashion show started, men models led by Phillip Huang, the face of the MFW 2011, entered the stage and bringing the feeling of the primitive with the long textured hair, definitely credit to the hair maestro. The collection was simply stunning especially the accessories they are wearing. I was particularly dragged my attention to the stacked crescent necklace.

Overall the whole collection was breathe-taking and definitely showing what fashionable cavemens will wear.

Jason is available in local concept store, Hide&Seek.

and it was indeed one of the shows with the most number of local artistes as the first row seaters, name some like Fann Wong, Fiona Xie, Pat Mok, and Belinda Lee.

Shanghai Tang

 Shanghai Tang was one of the show that I was looking forward with my mom and grandma a fan of this Hongkong Brand. Shanghai Tang show was indeed a bit different with the addition of the female models as the spices in the show. One thing that I totally love about Shanghai Tang that is they never forget to have a little bit touch of Chinese in the collection and in this collection is definitely The Mandarin Collar which definitely will make its comeback!

And definitely, thanks Shanghai Tang for the goodie bag!

So after Shanghai Tang, Silvia and I were looking for Bryanboy, and at last..

I think I am just so lucky!

 

psssttt.... I met the handsome VJ Utt too!

So yesterday, I got the chance to have a photo taken with Utt, the voice of MFW Asia after the
Shanghai Tang show.

*non fashion related post! I hope you guys will keep reading! :) Thanks!

I hope that when everyone is so excited bout everything Lanvin x H&M,

I hope people still remember how many people out there who are suffering after the Damaging flood in Wasior - Papua; earthquake and tsunami in Mentawai - Sumatera, and the last one volcano eruption in Middle Java and Jokjakarta. So through this super short last paragraph, I hope that my readers, either from Indonesia or from the other countries, may like to help those people who are now in the camp after losing their house after the earthquake, floods, and also the volcano eruption.

this pretty lady down here, Ms. Claradevi Handriatmadja from Sunflares Plethora together with her other 5 pals are holding a fund-raising

so don't hesitate to tweet them! (@claradevi, @anglaina, @adeladelia, @naddasalma. @muuuthia and @mistymimit)

Claradevi from Sunflares Plethora

In these few weeks, they managed to raise the amount of US$2650 or around IDR 24.000.000. which could only help around 4 camps where are about 50 refugees camps. So I really hope that my readers will willingly donate to those people.

as those people who have watched Eat.Pray.Love may still remember about how Liz managed to get her friends from all over the world to donate for Tuti and her mum in Bali to build their house. So now, the real action is called!

In the other hand, Ms. Clara is also selling hers and her boyfriend's new rollei camera! for those who are interested in photography this is the right time as you get a new camera and you are helping those people! :)

they are retailing for IDR 220,000 which is USD $22 each.

Each purchased package will contain of one Rollei Retro 400 ISO Single Use Camera with film and flash, two local retro-styled postcard, and a choice of : 5 vintage-styled golden buttons or one lace ribbon. and the good news is all shipping is free! :)

and you can read more about this donation activity in Ms.Clara newest blogpost!

click HERE

me, myself, admitted that I haven't donate any single cent for those people in the refugees camp and I feel quite guilty as I spent my money for something like less important which actually I can use the money to help lots and lots of people outside there!

the amount of donation is not the one we are talking about, its the heart to help and the willing to help that matter.

Maybe a dollar for us is nothing but for them, it means a lot for them!

So start taking action people!

for serious donors, please contact theclaradevi (at) gmail (dot) com or tweet her! as mentioned @claradevi on twitter!

Whoever interested to be a donor also can contact her and send the donation to her paypal address (theclaradevi@gmail.com).
