Here is a tip I read online on how to break in your new pair of shoes. I have had splinters on the back of my leg when I wear my new shoes. It is worse if the shoe is made of leather. Hope this trick helps. All you need to do is wear some thick socks, then stretch the shoes onto your feet. While wearing like, heat the shoes with a a hair dryer for about 10 minutes. Aim the hairdryer on the tight section for a few seconds. It is that easy.

This is a new travelogue starring Carol Cheng (Do Do) which features her shopping in the famous cities around the world. During her travels, Carol is accompanied by other TVB stars such as Oscar Leung, Kenneth Ma and Sammy Sum. I enjoy watching this show because it is quite funny and interesting. The first few episodes, Dodo went shopping in Paris and followed by Melbourne and London. It is enjoyable to watch where Dodo buys her clothes from in London, ballet flats in Paris and the types of shops to keep a look out for if ever we are visiting the same cities and etc. Her shopping partners add a lot of fun to the show. Hurry and check out DoDo Goes Shopping if you have not.
Many people watch award shows because it is always exciting to see who wins. I am one of those who just love to see what the celebrities are wearing. Although you may not like the celebrities, you cannot deny that some of them really wear some amazing clothes, especially the women. All those fancy gowns and dresses are beautiful. Not to mention the exquisite jewelry accompanying the outfits. I love admiring them when the celebrities were interviewed at the red carpet during the pre-show. It is very fun to see the unique and elaborate clothes that they are wearing and which designers made them. Since these celebrities take time to choose an outfit, pair it with the right jewelry and hairstyles as well as makeup, they would want to be seen by as many people as possible.
It is not so much about which designers designed the gowns, it is more like what they are wearing to the shows. The recent 67th Primetime 2015 Emmy awards red carpet brought out the biggest names in television and it was a star-studded night at the Microsoft Theater. This award show was full of bold fashion choices. There were many in black formal dresses such as Taraji P Henson, Amy Poehler, Julie Bowen and many more. My favourite were celebrities in red and white gowns such as Louise Roe who wore a simple white toga gown and Giuliana Rancic in a stunning long sleeveless gown. There were a few stunning gowns in blazing tones like fuschia and pink. If you are looking for beautiful gowns to wear this holiday season, do check out Formaldressaustralia.
Did you all watch the recent American Glamour Awards show? It was held at the world-famous Carnegie Hall last Monday. I saw so many beautiful women at the red carpet, all donning glamourous Long Formal Dresses. Some of the recipients of the Glamour Awards were Reese Witherspoon who was honoured for co-founding the Pacific Standard production company that creates films with female protagonists. I really enjoyed watching this show because of Victoria Beckham who was also recognized for her career as a fashion designer and work as an international goodwill ambassador for UNAIDS and other philanthropy works.
Victoria Beckham attended this glitzy event with his 16-year-old son, Brooklyn. The handsome teen looked dapper standing next to his beautiful mother who wore a strappy red gown. Just recently, Victoria brought her two younger sons, Romeo and Cruz to a Burberry event in London and a week later, she showed up at Glamour Awards with her eldest son. Back in 2013, Victoria brought Brooklyn Beckham as her date to the British Glamour Awards and boy, he has grown so much since then. Brooklyn went to the stage to present a trophy to his mom and both of them shared an adorable hug.
Brooklyn said his mom, “I’m so proud of you, and I’m so happy to be here tonight. I love you,”. It was such a heartwarming scene. The former Spice Girl took to the stage in her lovely red dress and thanked her family. She credited her pop star past for making her what she is today.

Don’t we all have this question from time to time? I remember the first time when I wore a pair of denim with ankle boots. I didn’t know how I should style it. Leave the cuff to cover part of the boot? Or should I fold it? Here are some tips I found on Pinterest.
Don’t stuff your jeans into your boots nor pull it over the boots unless it’s bootcut or flared jeans.
Shoes have always been my weakness. They are the last piece you put on before heading out of the door. Therefore shoes are just as important as the outfit you are wearing, if not more. However, I am more of a casual flats, slip-ons and FitFlop fan. When an occasion calls for heels which is not very often, I usually go with wedges. Yes, these days I live in the flat lanes most of the time. Pretty boring eh? I used to own many 3 to 4-inch heels but those days are over. I find that flats are so comfortable especially when I am shopping in the mall. Standing on stilettos for a few hours is really no joke. Flats are really fabulous.
Having said that, I do love looking at heels. High heels make women walk in a more feminine way. Some say the higher the heel, the closer to heaven. A pair of shoes can make or break your look, so owning the right style is important. Are you a fan of heels? If you are looking for the perfect stiletto this season, well you may want to check out the simple two-strap heels. This shoe style can get you to a fancy event, work or a date out with your friends at the cafe.
You can wear it with a pair of distressed jeans, School Formal Dresses or your favourite shorts and tee. This now-iconic stiletto is simply chic and beautifully understated. It’s versatility really is endless and is becoming a fast favourite.
This minimalist shoe style would definitely not steal the attention away from your look. It is the the perfect footwear to polish of your outfit. Therefore if you are shopping for the perfect outfit for your upcoming party, do head over to Formaldressaustralia and get yourself a pair of simple two-strap heel.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families.
I love seeing Jennifer Lopez in the fashion magazines or her music videos. She is always so sophisticated and well-groomed. She is so beautiful and is always being featured in the magazines. The stunning star is always fearless when it comes to fashion. She knows what looks good on her curvy figure and she can carry different styles effortlessly. Whether it is streetwear or haute couture sexy evening dresses, J.Lo always fits the image.
The very first time when I saw Jennifer Lopez in her green Versace dress which she wore to the 42nd Grammy Awards in 2000 made my jaw dropped. It was a sheer silk chiffon dress printed with tropical leaf and bamboo patterns. Do you remember The Dress? It has a low-cut neck which extended several inches below her navel, loosely fastened with a brooch and then opened out again, exposing her midriff. Jennifer Lopez wore a pair of nude-tone shorts and it was revealed that she kept the dress on by using double-sided fashion tape.
This dress got everyone talking about it for a long time. This high-profile dress was designed by Donatella Versace and it became the dress of the year. This gown is by far her boldest and most iconic look. 15 years on after she has worn it, the dress is still associated with her and Versace.
With a successful dance and pop music career, this 40 something year old mother of twins certainly is a proof that styles get better with age. Some of my favourite J.Lo’s looks on the red carpet are the long black toga dress at the Grammy, sheer chiffon red gown at the Billboard Award and sexy nude lace dress at the Golden Globe Award just like the mermaid evening dresses of ihomecoming.
She just has the most amazing sense of style. As women, I believe we should all embrace her attitude on fashion which radiates confidence.
I am on the lookout for a bag that would fit all my essentials without weighing me down. I am getting shoulder pains from carrying around my things in a shoulder bag. That is why my current obsession is Crossbody bags. I love the idea of not having to lug a bag around my arm and that it can keep my hands free. It would definitely lessen the strain on my shoulders and gives me better posture. Spotted these beauties at Madewell. Time for some shopping.
