Kate Middleton’s Fashion

Recently the Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to India with the Duke of Cambridge Prince William. The fashion world went into a frenzy after photos of the duchess emerged. I must say that she has such a great fashion style. Besides clothes by Anna Sui, Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham, the Duchess wore clothes by famous Indian designer as well. I love her effortlessly chic style. I was so impressed with her when she demonstrated her ukulele skill during a hospice visit last year that I went to check out the guitar center ukelele tuner. She is inspirational.

barbara Leave a comment

One of the latest trends this year that I simply adore. The puffed up designs on the sleeves add a sophisticated but fun edge to things. We will be seeing lots of ruffles, puffy sleeves and high-collar necklines this season. Here are some of my favourite looks. Have you got them in your wardrobe?

Pyjamas Style – Yay or Nay?

Have you been seeing women walking around in their pjs lately? If you are like me and were wondering what’s going on, well wonder no more. The PJs look is in right now. Not only would you look chic in the bedroom, you can even do so when you are out. I still cannot embrace this style yet. What about you?

Both PJs blouse are available at Asos.

Eyeliner Hack For Those With Single Eyelids

barbara Leave a comment

If you struggle to put on your eyeliner because you have single eyelids or mono eyelids, or your eyelids hide your eyeliner (story of my life), well, here is a hack that would help you to draw really fast. Use gel or liquid eyeliner to draw a thick arch so that when you open your eyes, you will have perfect lines. I have tried it and it works! Yay.

I like to use Missha eyeliner from Korea. It is precised for drawing thick and thin lines and strong against water, seat and sebum.

I run a couple of times a week and on weekdays, I use the treadmill due to time constraint. I love running outdoors and I usually go do it once a week. However, at times, I feel unsafe running by myself. Well, if you are like me, you can now feel confident during your run with this Booby Trap Bra. It is a sports bra with special pocket to hold either a small knife or pepper spray. This soft sports bra offers great support and is available at BoobyTrapBras.com.

Stay safe and stay stylish.

H&M just launched their first range of bridal designs in its 2016 Conscious Exclusive Collection. This favourite high-street brand’s bridal designs are very affordable as the gowns are priced from £149.99 to £399. These pretty gowns will be available from April 7. The bridal gowns are made with over 50% sustainable materials and were modelled by Julia Restoin Roitfeld, the daughter of ex-French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld. I bet the gowns will be sold out before you can finish saying Hennes & Mauritz.

My motto

Yes, I agree to this. Many times I have found myself thinking about the shoes, bags or clothes that I have seen but decided not to buy. I would then regret about it because when I go back to purchase it, the item is no longer available.

Thai Model For Louis Vuitton GQ Germany

barbara Leave a comment

This boy is Kreaw, a 14 year old Thai Karen student who lives in Sangkhlaburi which borders Myanmar. He is now pretty famous as he modelled in a Louis Vuitton spread after being discovered by GQ Germanay during its shoot in his hometown. He was chosen because of his authentic Thai look. It was rumoured that he was only paid THB1,000 for the photoshoot. We will probably be seeing more of Kreaw now as an international modeling agency has since approached him for another modeling job.
