LEATHER & SKIN

BIKER JACKET(S)

Yes, I adore them. Love the toughness that a leather biker jacket can impart on an outfit. If only the weather here in KL permits more wearing of all my leather jackets. I currently own four to be exact. I have a red one which I love, two black ones (one from MNG and another from BB Dakota bought from Shopbop on sale) and a white IRO leather jacket.

 

 

My white IRO Caelie Perforated Jacket - can be worn all the time as it is not thick at all. Got it on discount as well from Net A Porter.

So now I have continued with my venture in finding another piece to add to my collection.

I found it on Matches Fashion. I really do like it but it keep on shedding white specks of material on my clothes. I am so contemplating whether is this a keeper or not ... but hey let me show it to you now. Yup it was heavily discounted too at 70% that is.

Hmm ... can't seem to rotate this picture here.

It's always wonderful to receive presents from Matches Fashion. Jadore!

 

 

The way I intend to style the jacket of course, but the shedding is driving me nuts as well. It feels as if like I should wear from head to toe in WHITE only - but it look so gorgeous though......

 

I think I'll drive the baby home and try it with other items in my wardrobe and if all fails ... and with a heavy heart you are going back Baby.

 

 

I covet the Balmain jackets - well all of them but I am not keen on the price tags though. Here are some of my favourites.

 

 

 

This caused me to purchase a red leather jacket!

Sigh, my new lust - Balmain Quilted Denim Jacket.

 

I need to go and dream now. Have a good weekend.

MAY DAY

ooI!

What happened to April? We are officially in May.

Gee.

April was so lack in updating even though I bought a ton of stuffs cause I was maid-less and assistant-less (i.e. mother in law was away for holiday for 3 weeks). There you go.

In between I went to Perth and back and my favourite buys were from Bonds.

Re-igniting my Uni days once again.

It was such a hip thing to be wearing Bonds - practical and 10 years on I still love their stuffs.

 

Bought the Keenies panties. It is so comfortable. The band is just perfect. Sits on the hips - does not ride and does not interfere with any sides (or bulges maybe) unlike some panties with really wide bands like Hipsters or boy leg which just does not do me any good. Awesome coverage from the back to. Keenie is the best and if only they deliver to Malaysia (groan .. they deliver to Singapore!!).

Wow check out their latest maternity line. I think it's fabulous. I didn't see them in store when I was in Australia though (ehh I guess I was not actively looking for maternity wear).



 

This is the Maternity Lites Bikini Brief. If it's good enough for the bum I reckon it will be great for my next pregnancy (OK ... gotta go and convince H for a 3rd kid now .. ha ha ha).

Loving their tank tops designs too.

 

Active Tank Top!

 

 

I love u BONDS!!!

BOX 4 A BAG

BOXY BAG - MARC JACOBS

Yes, I have followed the boxy bag trend. Yes to structure but boxy is another.

Huge trend this year though I have liked them since last year.

The most apparent was when during the Louis Vuitton Fall 2014 RTW debut its Petite Malle bag (a miniature LV trunk - Alzer or Bisten perhaps). OMG!!! I loved it instantly. If only I can purchase one, but as you know it's like the unattainable Chanel Lego Bag ... well you can admire it from a far but it can never really be owned unless you have some hard cold cash to plonk of course.

There are a lot of second hand jewelery boxy bags that can be purchased from EBay anyway so make a beeline there pronto.

I have just settled for a practical one.

Ta dah. I think I'll bring this baby to Paris with me in June but where do I stash my Perrier? Ha ha.

The Allegra Leather Box Bag currently sold at Matches Fashion at RM1900 but I got mine at RM860 :)

I can still dream of you Petit Malle Zzzzzzzzz .....

PRETTY LACE

FEMININE & CLASSY DRESSING

So who does not like to look like a lady every now and then (though we may be more comfortable in just a 'well lived in' tee shirt and a dog eaten shorts).

However, with all these new and keep emerging clothing lines from designers churning out beautiful and delicate lacey dresses, tops and skirts .. who am I but totally falling head over heels for them. Unfortunately they cost a bomb. Yes, have you seen the ones from Burberry! An embellished lace skirt sold at Matches Fashion retails for over RM5,000! Gulp! Not for me but I can admire and hoping that I could find replicas for the high end ones will be a great delight. Further Burberry manage to top it off with some delightful embellishment on those delicate lace dresses and skirts too. Ohhh double YUM!

BURBERRY

 

Other designers with really great lace items are as follows:

 

ERDEM

 

 

 

 

ALESSANDRA RICH

 

 

These are just some of my favourites and I have managed to score some lacey stuffs too.

 

I managed to obtain a piece of the beautiful ERDEM skirt during THE OUTNET Clearance sale and I am so happy.

 

I bought this delicate Erdem Shawna Skirt at 80% :)

 

Yes, I cannot afford too many expensive lace pieces, I branched out to Zara and bought these too considering the fact that they are so much more affordable.

 

 

 

 

Got the lace top and skirt in Blueberry Colour they called it I think and the TRF lace skirt. Don't expect French Lace but it's enough to satiate my lace hunger for now.

 

Loving it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

FIRST LADY SHOES

My First Christian Louboutin

Hoot! Hoot!

First ever pair of Louboutin and I got the classic style.

Most (or more like 90%) of their pumps are like 4 inches and above. I cannot batter my feet and knee joints for the sake of fashion so I settled for the Fifi 85mm, which suits me just fine. Would have loved the pointed pump but I think I'll get that in black the next time.

Ta dah!!!

Hmmm, what to pair it with now :)

 

I WANT IT ALL

WHAT I COVET NOW ....

It has been an amazing season in fashion the very least. All the Fashion Week be it over or still running (NY, Paris & Milan) is in full swing and the wonderful products being shown is awesome though I raised my eyebrow at some pieces like - how do you wear that headgear in public!! But hey only one person can wear those head pieces and it's none other than Anna Della Russo. I do think that she is eccentric but I may not necessary share the same passion for her head attire. Ha ha.

 

Anyway some items which I would like to cradle are as follows:

 

1. YSL Shoulder Bag

 



 

 

 

2. Balmain Tweed Jacket

 

 

 

 

 

3. Needle & Thread Dress (It's so Valentino lookalike)

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Ileana Makri Diamond Earrings

 

 

 

 

 

5. Acid Yellow pair of Valentino Rockstud Pumps (AHHHH!)

 

 

 

 

 

I think I should make a quick dash to buy a lottery ticket now. Hope I win.

TO CREAM OR TO OIL YOUR CELLULITE

ELEMIS BODY CARE

Fuh my last entry was before Valentine's Day. Yes, have been busy with work and children. In between I got my braces done. My orthodontist suggested Damon Clear Brackets and it has been in place for two weeks now. So far so good, I have yet to see the full effect but I will discuss that in another post.

 

So what have I ventured into lately.

 

Aha, body care or more like anti cellulite, body firming and skin care to be exact.

 

I have been using Elemis Camellia Oil when I was pregnant with my two children and it was good on my dry skin. It was also effective on stretch marks but I guess I slacked off during my second pregnancy thinking that my skin and body will bounce back. Well it kinda did but at a much slower pace and I was left with some unsightly marks on my butt, thigh and stomach. Blame it on my daughter who is heavier than her brother of course.

 

I consulted my friend who is a beautician or asthetician. OK many people does not like beautician/asthetician but I trust my friend cause she definitely have a hand in keeping my face off from acne, sun spots and blackheads for the last 12 years I must say. She suggested why don't I start with some radio frequency treatment (RX Treatment) to firm up my saggy stomach skin coupled with anti cellulite or skin firming cream to assist my problem areas.

 

OK I have been using the cream and have undergone 3 RX Treatment and I am pleased to say the very least. Stomach is not so bulgy and skin is firmer and the best thing is that H was asking 'wow your stomach is flat now'. Comments coming from H is a positive thing since he rarely ever realise what I have done with myself (whether I have recently dyed or cut my hair or others). I have 3 more RX Treatment and since I have ran our of the anti cellulite cream given I have decided to go back to Elemis to try out the Cellutox Active Body Concentrate after hearing rave

Note of Caution:

 

Pregnant and Nursing woman should refrain from using any of these or any other slimming products for fearing that the ingredients may be absorbed into your body and be transferred to the baby. As such if you are pregnant do not be wary about how you will look, because YES pregnant woman put on weight and it is natural. Just try to lose your pregnancy weight in stages and in a healthy manner like exercising and eating right for example. It took me 3 months to lose weight with my first child and 7-8 months with my second. Actually I did not exercise at all (ha ha, quite bad huh), I ate like normal or even more as I was fully breastfeeding my child for up to 15 months. Yes, breastfeeding helps you to lose weight. It is not easy but it is worth it. However I am back to my exercise regime, though not as often as I should like but at least twice a week, be it swimming or running on the treadmill.

 

 

Alright back to the oil and cream, I will give it a try and let you know the results in at least 2-3 weeks time. It should be good.

 

To all pregnant ladies - enjoy being pregnant and all nursing mothers - be happy bonding with your babies!

 

Love.
