Inside the golden bag!

Highlight of yesterday, when I was out and about around town for finding that 'twenty dollar fab find challenge',which will be my new regular thing every month, was an old lady commenting/complimenting me that I looked like a butterfly just because I was wearing a yellow dress, and the brand bag of the cool purchase I made yesterday shined like gold, which again grabbed the compliments of shopkeepers and people. 'what is it, what is it?' and 'nice bag' were the ubiquitous phrase and I was flattered obviously. 

The brand is 'MU-apparel' (logo written in Chinese letter), it's a kampong(local) brand local designer Alfie Leong, who also has another label set up in 2010 'A.W.O.L (All walks of life', which is said to be more better and higher end, but is still affordable. Steadily attracting the global attention, his works has also been featured in Vogue Italia. 

'MU' is an outcome behind the concept of 'east meeting west'. The tailoring is everything but mundane. It's individual, not that traditional in terms of specific way of making clothes but is practical enough. In few words it's interesting and 'cool'. 

I got myself a bag. It's original, unique and practical, and yes so me!

The N°5 Story

"A woman should wear a perfume wherever she wants to be kissed", no wonder Marilyn Monroe slept with nothing but 'CHANEL N°5'. yeah yeah every other blogger has already enlighten you about it, but as an honest Coco fan (both as a designer and as a lady) and N°5 fan I had to post this. 

In brief, a site Inside Chanel, has been launched which, tells us the story of Mademoiselle's most legendary perfume. The site also has a section which 'educates' the viewers on the important Coco Chanel moments. The trailer is so incredibly engaging that I could literally feel my excitement mounting. With the trailer, was also revealed the first (man) face of the perfume, Brad Pitt, which will also be out there shortly (intrigued!) 

Fond of red!

Everything/everyone has a rhythm. Some are ageless and rock on forever, while some fade away. I must admit that the rhythm of red lipstick strongly lies on the first description. And I must also admit that albeit it's my ultimate make-up accessory I loathed it during my first try, that was when I was about thirteen (Don't want to remember it!!). I thought I looked like a call girl and for me red lipstick associated with dealings of body pleasures in exchange of money! I blame my then-uncultivated make up skills.
How do I even begin to describe the wonder of red lipstick. It's an instant wear that adds sophistication, sexiness and confidence to anyone who wears it!.That's my honest testimony. Also the reason behind the posting of old adverts is, I just feel nostalgic! I do love the sleek and shiny adverts of today but vintage is just my kind!

that's how you wear 'em ;)
