The Versatile Lace - Party Time!

It's Friday! Party shall fill my night :) When comes to party, there are so many elements that make us girls look super hot. To outshine the rest doesn't mean you have to really 'bling bling' all the way. Lace makes a woman woman, it can be sexy it can be sweet, it can be gentle it can be wild. Take a pick (peek)! ;)

Tips #1: To really carry a super hot lace dress, body sculpture & skin condition is important! Moisturise your skin daily and drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated all time!

Tips #2: Pair with a nice pair of super hot heels!  

P.S: I have been trying to look for a hot party dress for long! It's now on top of my shopping list this weekend! ;)

More on lace! Stay tuned! <3

Spiked with Me

Today's blog is dedicated to one of my loves - Spike.

My black spike heels (similar to the photo above..)
 just bid farewell to me this morning before I went to work.

For almost one and a half year, Spike has been through many rainy days with me.

Though it look tough and strong, but the gentle inner lining protected me well,

and everytime I can just slip my feet in with no fear, with no regrets.

Spike, you're being missed. :'(

Charmy Charm

When I was a little girl, I never had a charm bracelet. Maybe because of that, I always find them special. Every charm that is attached on the chain represents something about you. Specially you. But how many of us are lucky enough to collect charm after charm? My first charm bracelet was from my younger brother a few months back. Something very simple, but he managed to find one that has charms that are very meaningful to me. (photo below on the left).  



A few weeks back, I bought a bracelet which look a little bit like charm bracelet, but strictly speaking, it's not the real real charm bracelet. It added in elements such as little coins, black linen string, chain and a black crystal. Something chunky enough to make me feel good. (photo above on the right - yeah that's my hand!)

So charm, is not just the simple charm. Add in pearls, add in ribbons, add in crystals, the effect gets amplified, and the satisfaction is more than a normal charm. Try it by mixing a few bracelets, see the effects, and be charming all the time! <3

The Versatile Lace - The Doll vs. The Princess

In Japan, there has been a trend to doll yourself up - really like a doll. The common traits are  - chestnut color hair, thick eyeliner to make your eyes big and round, pale face and lips with a hint of blusher, and a lace lacey sweet dress. Many of them buy the coloured contact lens that make their eyes (pupils) look much brighter and bigger, and some even with colours. The whole make up is to emphasize on the big and round eyes and the sweet lace dress.

The Japanese Doll look:

The Koreans prefer to look more like a princess. A sweet  lace dress do the work. They go with different makeup, sweet and simple, and many a times they pair with pearls accessories. It's more dainty and I have a few pieces where I wear to work sometimes!

The Korean Princess Look:

So which one do you prefer?

For me - when I was younger I had the thought of making myself like a doll. Round big eyes, nut colour hair and a lace dress. But that was all in my younger days! ;)

>> Stay tuned for the Party Lace soon! <3

Fancy Wedges Fancy Shoes!

A good pair of shoes will walk you through your journey. The traditional women used to cover as much as they could, and in some culture, revealing your toes can be inappropriate and rude. But nowadays, people go for pedicure, having nice toe-nails colours, and flaunt their feet in  different types of pretty shoes. And this time, I'm going to share a bit about Wedges, where the shoes make you taller immediately, and it's slightly more comfortable than the super high heels.

 

They aren't new in the market. But if you notice, they are not the ordinary Wedges I am talking about. Look at their platforms - isn't their colours lovely? :) Adding the colours bring a more lively look, and who say wedges can't make you look sexy! 

With the colourful platforms, it's usually more casual. I have a few pairs and my only advice to you is that - walking on a rocky road is quite difficult for the wedges! I lost balance and fell (twice) in my wedges. But I can reassure you that they are much comfy than the pointy skinny devil heels! :)

Tips: Get the lighter wedges! I used to have this pair of quite heavy wedges, and by the time I got back home I felt like it weighs a ton and my calf muscles were all popped up! Almost have a muscle strain. And for your info, that wedges were only worn once! Lesson learnt and all my current ones were just nice in weight! <3

The Versatile Lace - The Elegance

When comes to elegance, lace has been seen as a key element to it. For hundreds of years, lace has never fail to bring out the feminine side of a woman. And nowadays, not just a popular trend on the red carpet, lace has even entered into the men's fashion world. How can anyone resist the temptation?

Lace is not just elegance on the red carpet, not just going to a tea party or dinner. You can incorporate into your daily life easily, still showing the trait of elegance.

And like every little girl's dream, I hope I can ....like a princess someday :)

Beauty Tips: The Wonderful Ice Cubes

Korean actress Song Hyu Kyu massages her face with ice cube to make it smaller!

Ever wonder how can the movie stars have such a flawless skin that glow and shine all the time? The magic does not only lies in BB cream or concealer. Let me share my secret with you girls - Ice.

When I was a teenager, I have super oily face as I went through my puberty stage. And under the hot weather, the oily face and the huge pores make me feel ugly everytime when I look at the mirror. And worst of all, when the pimples pop out, every time in my T-zone, standing right middle of my nose or forehead, I don't even want to look into the mirror.

Until I read this beauty tips from megazine - Icing your skin can help improve circulation, tone up your skin and ward off wrinkles & pimples. Since a young girl at my age then couldn't afford any expensive skin care products at that time, I decided to try on and until today I have no regrets! It works wonderfully and it's as simple as A-B-C.

1. Shrink away your Pimple

Holding ice on a pesky pimple can get the red out as it helps to decreases inflammation. What I normally do it to wrap an ice cube with a clean handkerchief and hold against affected area for 5-10 minutes. The redness will go away, at least not so obvious, and you'll see the results immediately after that!

2. Glow your skin

Before patting foundation or BB cream over your face, run an ice cube over your face focusing on areas with enlarged pores (most probably your T-zone). The cold water will help tighten up your pores and minimize their appearance under makeup. You'll get the extra smooth result after that with your BB cream on!

(p.s: I have to admit I am lazy in the morning as most of the days I wake up just in time to rush for work. So instead of using ice cube, I rinse my face with the bottle of cold water which I normally store in the fridge. It not only wakes me up immediately, and that gives me a nice glowing smooth skin after my make up!)

With make up on when your pores are tightened, you'll notice that you'll have less blakcheads and outbreaks as it's easier to clean your makeup when you get home!

3. No More Puffy Eyes

You can use ice cube here, but I prefer using a frozen slice of cucumber. Normally I store a few pieces of clean cucumber in my freezer and I use them on my eyes when I have puffy eyes. When my alarm rang, I walked to the fridge and get 2 slices, walked back and lie down again with the cucumber on my eyes, 5 minutes later - tadaa! I am awaked with my pretty eyes again!

Make it a routine in your daily skin care. You'll definitely see the difference!

P.S: In most of the Southeast Asian countries, we have super hot and humid weather. Especially when I was in Malaysia, I saw many people munching ice whenever we have meals out in the hot weather. It's easy to get within budget, and it quench your thirst and heat in a wonderful way! One of my Malaysian friends' favourite desserts - Ice Kacang (In Malay - it means shaved ice with nuts). They usually come with colours (with different colour syrups poured over the mountain of ice) and below the ice mountain you can find treasures including red beans, sweet corns, nutes, jelly etc. Any of you coming to Malaysia or Singapore, don't miss it!
