From Us Breakfast Divas... MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What are you doing New Year's Eve? - Dress like Audrey Hepburn!

Psst... Have you heard about SohoKL's New Year Countdown "Partyin' Thru the Decades"?

In case you're wondering - why talk about New Year's countdown when Xmas ain't even over yet! well, I figured that if I were to write a post on Xmas Shopping - it's a tad too late, granted that it's already Xmas Eve. =P

What's the big deal about this party, you ask? Well... it's a themed countdown party! You get to dress up in your favorite fashion era and you stand a chance to win a Blackberry Torch. 

If this does tickles your fancy, and you'd like to play dress up, check out how  Audrey Hepburn has changed the fashion arena through the years. Mayhaps Miss Hepburn's seemingly effortless elegant looks will give you some inspiration to dress for the night (and win your BB Torch!) ;)

Body Loving : Dress to Impress You! By Lady Aphordite

Flaws. We hate the word flaws especially when it is associated to honest comments to our body (as much as we love ourselves to pieces J). Some of us (hint; myself) look at flaws as perfection whether that little mole gives a sexy appeal or the fuller thighs rocks on like Beyonce. Yes, denial or not the point to remember is love yourself and anything you wear just adds to that already perfect self you are. TRUTH!

TO some of us who have those little bits of dislike or discouragements of our body, no compromise to style and no excuses to cover up in drags or lazy shirts 7 days of the week to avoid showing any of our perfect selves. Listen up closely..

Maxi dresses!

Hey'all today my post is gonna be about maxi dresses! I love my maxis especially how they float around my ankles and can pull off the casual yet sophisticated look.. Bbbuuttt... Sometimes I find maxis give the wrong 'beachy' look or the loose fitting 'preggers' look for the wrong occasions..


Here are some tricks/ tips that I'm gonna share with you today about dressing up or down your maxi dress, so you'll achieve your desired look... The number 1 rule.. Accessorise, accessorise, accessorise..


Pick the right accessory.. And you can go from sleek and classy to trendy and chic...

Greenhills Shopping Center (Manila) giving Bangkok Shopping a Run for its Money!

Yup! You heard me right! It is possible that there is another place on planet earth that can satisfy your shopping thirst close to Bangkok's!

Where am I talking about?

Annyeonghaseyo Dongdaemun, Seoul Korea! Shopping!

Annyeonghasaeyo!

I’ve heard the raves, I’ve heard the gushes about how fantastic Korean fashion is! 

We’ve seen it on screen, we’ve seen it in stores. 

Well darlings, lemme tell you this – I’ve been to the fashion land (albeit a short visit) to see if for myself, and boy, was I drooling all over them.

So where do you go shop-a-drooly?

Dongdaemun (East Gate)

It is a fashion paradise here – imagine Platinum Mall in Bangkok but on a larger scale. I kid you not – look at the map!

Dongdaemun

Due to time limitations, I only managed to check out 2 buildings here – Doota and Migliore. 

OK, the deal about Doota (compared to Migliore) is that tourists can get the tax refund receipt here, and the prices are steeper.

Lady Aphordite is Back & Obsessed with ASOS dresses !

Hello peeps, i swear the past few weeks as i been stalking ASOS website ( http://www.asos.com/)  , they are having an irresistable sale and free delivery worldwide ( i think la but dont quote me , i know KL is free delivery :)). Inspired ASOS dresses has always caught my eye in the blogspere but nothing beats the real thing - good sizes, guaranteed quality and the perfect designs since it is from ASOS itself!!  

Be bold, be flashy, be tempted!

One fine lovely evening, while taking a stroll along the five-foot-walk way of Taman Tun Dr Ismail, hunting for desserts after a hearty dinner.. My eyes laid upon a clothes rack (out of no where really) along the five-foot-way.. and with it.. I saw... Be Tempted Collection!

How apt I would say.. as I really was tempted by the yellow lights and pretty dresses that lined up in this tiny half-shop! =)

Nailing it! at Jovial Beauty & Nail Spa

Here I go again...yet another nail parlor targeted and tested, all thanks to Groupon Malaysia . This time round, twas a very merry pedi/mani at Jovial Beauty & Nail Spa at The Strand, Kota Damansara.

*pats toes and fingers* you've been pampered!

Muppets to bring colour to your nails!

This is one post that is totaly not my forte as I'm not usually one who does my own nails. Cos really I have no such patience to delicately use a tiny brush to paint my nails, nor do I have the patience to wait for it to dry!

Although I must say... I like it when someone else does it for me.. *ah.. that I call my pampering session!

However, upon checking out the latest OPI selection for a girl friend's birthday.. for a non nail polish fanatic these Muppet collections really caught my eye! For almost everyone, especially to relive your childhood for Miss Piggy, Kermit the Frog or Zoe.. this is a treat for you!





What I love most about it is some of the cute names!

"Fresh Frog Of Bel Air"  and  "Gettin' Miss Piggy With It!" and "Rainbow Connection" (Kermit's song!)

And if you're a Muppet fan like me, you'll certainly know the pun of it ! =)

RM33 each

RM31 each for 6 bottles and above

Oh and I must not forget to mention, the Diva of them all Gold Shatter *gasps!

Becoming Mrs Kennedy

Hey hey girlies! Taking off from my last post of Jackie Kennedy's style, this post is gonna be how to steal some of that style.. Going Vintage doesn't mean dull pastle colours and unflattering bias cuts... Add a few accessories (belts, necklaces and even scarves!) to spurce it up to a more up-to-date look and ta-da.. you're good to go.. !

A few that I've picked to achieve that Jackie style, from stylish work wear to casual dresses.. Don't forget to complete your "Jackie Kennedy, First Lady" look with a great looking pair of pumps.. huge sunnies and a Hermes Scraf.. *enjoy!

A Blast from the past - Jackie Kennedy

If any of you are as a history buff as I am you would have caught the Kennedy series on the history channel.. It is a beautifully made series bout the Kennedy tradegy, but while my mum cried over John F Kennedy... I went oooh and aaahhs over Jackie's dresses...
 

The actress who played Jackie is none other than Katie Holmes who I must say drew a great ressemblence of her... And though I don't fancy Katie Holmes... She made Jackie's sense of style come back to life! This post is tributes the 1960s style icon- Jackie Kennedy.

Vintage Galore!

"Vintage clothing shopping is exciting and enjoyable because you can find items of clothing that nobody else has and you can find good quality items made the way they don't make things these days, from fabrics that might not even be around now. Not only are you sourcing unique items but you're also being eco-friendly into the bargain and preworn clothing is considered desirable by those frequenting the red carpet to the local fashionista" - WikiHow

In the last week, I was frantically scouting for Vintage Dresses! I needed a set of dresses that could capture the 1940s look for an upcoming swing dance performance .. What's swing you may ask.. Just a brief introduction...

"Swing dance" is a group of dances that developed with the swing style of jazz music in the 1920s-1950s. The best known of these dances is the Lindy Hop, a popular partner dance that originated in Harlem and is still danced today..

Well, I'm not in any way trying to give you a history lesson on swing.. but to share on my experience on how to shop Vintage! =))

An alluring secret...

It was a starry night event for sure on Sunday, 7 August when Keith Kee Couture celebrated their 10 years of weaving magic into clothes at Renaissance Hotel with a fashion show, showcasing 10 surprises.

Glamour.. Fashion and Style - White Soot

I has a confession... I've been quite extravagant in my recent overseas shopping affairs that I did a self imposed 6 month shopping fast.. I usually succeed pretty well abstaining from shopping.. (yes i hear *gasp all over), probably only breaking in to my necessities... However, this time shopping therapy beckon unto me...

The world of online seductions lured me into a popular blogshop called White Soot!

Bikini shmikini where shall I buy thee...

I stumbled upon WOOPZ bikinis & beachwear as I was googling frantically for swim wear for my upcoming beach holiday. I can safely say there are not many around from to buy online and what used to be my favourite is victoria Secret's collection online from the US but that would also mean RM 100 for delivery charges :P WOOPZ saved my day :) **hand on forehead **
