It was hard to stop myself from visiting the All Dressed Up store last weekend since it was having a storewide discount of 30%. Not so long ago, I spotted a coral peach top that flattered my autumn-spring skintone. I didn’t buy it since I wasn’t sure if I was going to pay around $300 for a blouse, especially after doing my monthly budget with our new budgeting software. But since it was on sale in the store, I couldn’t resist trying it again.

Guess what? Instead of the coral peach top, I walked out of the shop with a muted gold wax linen skirt. I fell in love with the colour… it was just the right shade of gold and made a versatile piece of any occasion - dress it up or down - it’s all up to me

Fashion and style can be quite a personal thing. Ever tried shopping with a friend to realize that your taste and opinions don’t match? In other words, not every good friend is a good shopping companion cos tastes differ!

I tend to shop alone except on certain occasions. Getting the opinion of a friend is helpful at times but sometimes, I much prefer to make my own decisions and take my time to do my shopping picks. Jewelry, shoes or bags, I like a unique touch to the designs and sometimes my friends can find my taste a little too artistic and liberated. These days, medical id tags have been worn as jewelry so it will be interesting if jewelry designers can catch on the trend and apply their creativity onto the design of these medical tags. And who knows, perhaps a medical tag can as attractive and creative like this paisley necklace, combined with lovely tiny faceted peridot rondelles. Simple and stylish, it can be a good balance between form and function.

It seems to me that surfing with a laptop computer in Starbucks or a local cafe has become a lifestyle than a necessity. Somehow, having wi fi in cafes is almost a must if you want to compete or attract the new generation of teenagers, yuppies and even coffee drinkers. While being seen with a laptop computer is a cool thing, carrying a sleek and chic laptop case becomes a fashion statement too. I was in the computer mall a fortnight ago and the Golla laptop bags and cases stood out to me. To satisfy my curiosity, I check out the website and whoa, there are even more selections! This finnish label seems to be the favourite among the trendy, stylish individuals who like to be seen with a laptop on the streets.

What does fashion mean to you? Designer label, luxury, trends, contemporary. Or is it easy, comfy yet stylish, in the name of simplicity? To each his own, fashion is like this too. Some like it hot, some like it cold and some, a little bit of both. There is no right or wrong, no good or bad, no new or old but it’s about YOU. Every one should be free to define, to create and improvise. Be comfortable, be happy in whatever you choose and be Yourself - that’s what matters

Some say it’s a fashion blunder, some say it’s low budget. When it comes to sponsored dress, funny things happen. Whatever it was, it was very obvious that STACY was wearing a recycled dress during the final concert of AF6. It’s really shameful given the grandness of the event she’s in. The same dress was worn by BETTY BANAFE at the recent AIM nite. Could the fashion people at ASTRO be forgiven for this mishap? Someone somewhere must have not been meticulous in their choice. The fashion designer should have known better to ever let it happen. Was it pre-meditated? STACY you deserve better girl!

One of the fun things to do at the beach or poolside is to people watch. I enjoy looking at chic costumes and stylish swim wear. It’s also fun to see how some women try to squeeze their body into their sexy costumes when they should be wearing swim wear of another style and design.

From an image consultant’s point of view, not everyone of us is suitable for bikini. As much as we like to look good and sexy in our swim wear, it’s important not to be too misguided by what we see in fashion magazines. Let’s face it, most of us don’t have legs and body like the models or celebrities like Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey or Kate Moss. So, you should pick a swim wear that looks good on your figure and stature. Though a one piece swim suit may seem old fashioned or out dated but if you pick the right colour to complement your colour system, you will look more attractive than a sexy swim wear that shows all your fats and flaws. Eco-fashionistas can now check out the eco swim collection at BTC Elements.
