晚报－fashion feature (Sunday, March 1, 2009 / 12:33 PM)
Did you see 晚报 on Saturday??
Well, if you missed it, here it is....
I was doing a fashion feature on Celebrity's looks under SGD150. It was not easy to achieve a complete look under $150, i realize, especially if i include the shoes, bag and accessories. Oh by the way, we styled ourselves. I really liked the 3 looks that I featured. I think they represents me.
My style is VERY simple. I like clean look. I don't like to over accessorize. If I'm wearing earring, you won't see necklace on me. Or if I'm wearing a necklace, I won't wear earrings. And if my blouse is fancy, I will wear very basic bottoms.
That's why for me, to keep it budget, I buy a lot of basics - basic tank tops, basic jeans (in different shades), basic shirt, etc. The trick is just to find the best cut. That pair of jeans in the picture, is like my favourite pair of jeans. It has got a fabulous cut that makes my leg look skinny. It's not just any skinny jeans. It's tailored in such a way that it trims the shape of my leg but still make it very comfortable to wear. So I say, spend on a pair of good jeans, even if it's a little bit more pricey. Think about the zillion times that you are going to wear it, it's worth it every cent. It's extremely important.
By the way, I found a fantastic shop in Far East - Woodwood.
It is totally my style - chic feminine. This dress+vest look (featured in WB and pictured below) is fully from woodwood. You might have noticed, I like to wear loose clothings. But I will match it with something fitting to form a sillouette. I love the combination of the vest and the puffy dress underneath. It's feminine yet with a character.
I bought quite a few pieces from them. Like this one... it's so 阳光! I'm gonna find a day when I go to Sentosa to wear it. I would love to wear it with a hat! hahah...
... and this one.... Actually I brought this to the photoshoot as well. Because I thought this dress make a very good and affordable evening look. You know like there are so many wedding dinners to go to! (Especially when you are 20+) So I thought this dress would make a good evening look. It's very classy yet, there's something quite special about it - the sleeve! Ok lah, maybe you can't tell from this. Next time, when I wear it, I'll take another pic.
And I LOVE their accessories!!!! like this one...
It goes perfectly with simple tops (like my white top and jeans look in WB feature, I was wearing this necklace). The necklace below is in the shape of an envelope with an actual LETTER that says I love you!! haaha... I thought that's very quirky and cute.
I think it makes a great gift as well.
Well, if you like you can visit them at level 3 of Far East Plaza, somewhere near my hair sponsor - Clover.
