Dress and Skirt in Drapes

An accent that is sometimes overlooked or over-used by some designers and fashionistas alike. It is after all something that’s not easy to make or to pull off, respectively. But remains one of the better styles made on apparel.
The previous night, the subject of making clothes was raised between a friend, who studied fashion in […]

What to Wear: Red Light Party

Ah. The sexy little black number. My head is spinning from trying to figure out what to wear tonight together with the falsies I’m planning on sporting. But will this Ruched Bust Dress from Topshop be perfect for the Red Light Party? Is it, er, appropriate?
I squirm.
I squirm. Some. More.
I reckon it’s sexy […]

I’m fascinated with Vintage apparel. It’s not easy for me to pull it off but I’ve been constantly experimenting, hoping that I’d be able to wear them with comfort and ease. It’s not easy to find items that are not too flamboyantly retro or that are inexpensive. Though I could rummage through my […]

BR Monogram Beaded Chiffon Dress

Finding the right words to express your style is something that I’ve always had a hard time doing. I just couldn’t find the right adjective to capture the very essence of my own personal style. I can only try to give examples, tell people where I shop, and, of course, let them see me […]

Sir Alistair Rai, Bold and Fresh Fashion

Wanting to be different will always be part of style preferences. In order to make it in the world of fashion, one needs to find a way to stand out or at least find something that will set you apart. Individuality.
That’s where that specific signature from designers step in. It will come from their own […]

Risky Business

Sima Henley Dress by Joie

If I wear this Sima Henley Dress by Joie with my RayBan wayfarers, would it look too much like I’m doing a Tom Cruise of Risky Business look? ROFL.
I don’t know what it is about that look that caught my heart and had managed to be permanently embedded in my […]

Why You Should Wear Pink

Growing up, Pink was never a favourite colour. I never grew a soft spot for it. I’ve learned to appreciate it more, though. But I will still choose some other colour to wear or experiment on other than Pink. I’m just not too comfortable with it, I guess.
However, with a recent conversation with someone, she […]

I don’t know how long I’ve been trying to find a dress like this one. I remember putting a bid over at Irene’s Closet a few months back on one dress that somewhat resembles this one. As evident with my frustration, the deal fell through. I’m disappointed. Again. I guess […]

Star Embroidered Dress, Matthew Williamson

This Star Embroidered Dress by Matthew Williamson that I found over at net-a-porter.com is the love. Though I do find the stars a bit tacky, with it being colourful and stuff, I still find it gorgeous. The initial impression is glamourous. I esp love the kimono-style or the angelwing-slash-butterfly sleeves. It’ll look great with both […]
