Offline Sales Opportunity

Sep 5, 2008 Author: karenmarie | Filed under: Fashion

The Viva Fashion Club at Monash University Sunway is organizing a Flea Market sales during their fashion show in October.

It will be a 2-day event where you get to set up a shop there at Monash University Sunway and sell your items. Did I mention this event is for Charity too :) Some of your proceeds will go to a charitable organization. But not to fret, this could be a great opportunity to market your online shops to young university students who are fashion savvy and boy, do they love shopping too. And giving back to society is just very fulfilling :) It is open to anyone who wants to open a stall. Just make sure your stuff are sell-a-ble :)

There will also be a fashion show by the students of Viva Fashion Club.

For more information and bookings of booths, please contact the Viva Fashion Club at this email (vivafashionclub at gmaildotcom)

Do your bit for Charity and support these young uni fashionistas’ event :) Emmagem will be there to cover the event too. Dress awesomely, as you might be caught on camera for KL in the Raw.

pssst: there will also be another Bazaar in November by Chics Closet. And I believe Bijou too will be back after Ramadhan. So many offline sales event thingymajig. We will keep you posted :)

Quirky Bounce Back!

Sep 2, 2008 Author: lynnz | Filed under: Boutique, Designers, Fashion, KL in the RAW, Trends

Meet Gabriena Lee. 20 year old Monash student. We had this love at first sight for her outfit when we saw her at an event. I’ve never been much of a fan of the quirky glasses until I saw hers and how she match it up with her outfit. She bought it from Vincci only to have it powered so it’s useful as also to make a fashion statement. As for her 2 piece outfit, she got it from her very own boutique - Glampot. Her love for the London street is what influencing her dressing style. I’d say GOOOO QUIRKY!

Daring Opaque Tights

Sep 1, 2008 Author: lynnz | Filed under: Fashion, Shopping, Trends

Remember the safe black opaque? Yep. That’s hot. Bright pink, red or even yellow opaque? That’s hotter.

Know what is even hotter now?

Colourful designs opaque tights.

I fell in love at the sight of it. Dare to wear? Be brave and go out wearing it, make a fashion statement! Trust me when I say you’ll be in the limelight. And by the way, remember, have fun at the same time, girls!

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Aug 31, 2008 Author: lynnz | Filed under: Fashion

Today, our country Malaysia, celebrates the 51st anniversary of the country’s independence. I bet there are many events went on til midnight for the countdown.

This is one of those days where you can find, people of all races coming together, waving the Malaysia flag- Jalur Gemilang, proud to be a Malaysian.

merdeka51.bernama.com

I myself went for the MME - Merdeka Millenium Endurance Race at Sepang. Caught a glimps of our ex-prime minister, Tun Dr Mahathir there supporting his son for the event. When 12midnight strikes, that’s when everyone gathers, declaring and shouting out loud Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! and after that stood to sing the national song, Negaraku. It’s an awesome experience to be at the track, a total different scene from the usual clubbing/partying.

So tell us, how did you celebrate your Merdeka day?

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

The Color Purple-Merdeka Treat

Aug 30, 2008 Author: yetmee | Filed under: Boutique, Designers, Fashion, Tips, Trends


Did you ever know how much emmagem team loves the color purple? This is probably because it is a color associated with love and romance, it is a royal colour, we love amethyts, it is an expensive colour to produce, it is a colour that flatters most skin type, we love the play and movie “The Color Purple” ,yes, we love Oprah and Deep Purple too and we also hope to enjoy a continuous period of purple patches and that’s just some of the reasons…

Berry is actually the colour of the coming Autumn Winter and this runs the gamut from a cranberry shade right up to blueberries and any other berries in between, but we have singled out our favorite berry colour, purple, and showed ten fabulous ways to wear the it in every imaginable way and fabric. It is a colour that looks really rich and lustrous and makes one feel like , well… royalty …

KL in the Prime- IT Factor

Aug 29, 2008 Author: yetmee | Filed under: Boutique, Fashion, KL in The Prime, Shopping, Specials

Emmagem has always been about the 18 to 24 year olds glampots, but what about the older women? This segment is to answer a request from a reader to show ladies and their styles for the mid 30′ s and above …

Emmagem went out in search of some fashionable , deemed by a lot as “auntie aged” ladies but don’t play play cos these ladies come really packed in high style and glam, after all they have the advantage of age and yes, vintage is very in at the moment and yes, women are like wine, we are smoother and better in quality as we age. There has been a definite revival of vintage in respect of of women in their prime from mid thirties to mid forties , who are really living it up and enjoying and loving themselves very much… look at the recent revival of models like (Vogue did a photoshoot of them togetheras sort of a 20 year anniversary of sorts) Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, these were supermodels in the 1980’s who wouldn’t rise from their beds for anything less than USD10k a day. Then look again at the top Asian faces like Maggie Cheung , Carina Lau and Michelle Reis, late thirties early forties , but they still got that IT factor.

What they have is not youth, but rather youthfulness and certain depth of maturity that can only come with age and having lived through the ages and all that came along with it , sweet, sour , bitter and definitely the spiciness of life and yes , the exuberance for life, the live and let live attitude. So , yes , some of them may be your mother’s age, but never underestimate that your mother can probably give you a good run for your money because style is not defined by age … and let them be inspirations to the young… Hey , I don’t know about you , but I wanna be as fit and wealthy, sorry I mean healthy as Madonna when I turn fifty , so make it sooner rather later yeah!!

Our first KL in the Prime feature is Mohnee, visual merchandiser and business owner…age 43, mother of two young boys . She is in the creative business therefore her work outfit shows that part of her. Functional yet fashionable…

She has on Dorothy Perkins jeans and beaded bodice satin camisole. Her watch is Ball and Ross. Her platform wedges, really love those, are from Charles and Keith. Picture shot at Italiannies , The Gardens at Midvalley.

Do you know anyone who is also inspirational to you and would like to share with us??

Cool Casual Chic

Aug 26, 2008 Author: lynnz | Filed under: Boutique, Designers, Fashion, KL in the RAW, Shop Online, Shopping, Trends

We spotted Mei Ng, the owner from Stitch Project. We chatted for a bit, and guess what?

Everything she wore, was purchases from online boutiques! How cool is that?! Her giraffe necklace is from Soak Republic. Playsuit is from Oh! Popsicles. The black belt is from Cat Whiskers. Her Croc sling bag is from her very own online boutique, Stitch Project. Last but not least, her awesome gladiators, from Velvet Ribbons. She was a walking advertisment for online sales. Lolz!

Tartan Plaids For This Fall/Winter

Aug 26, 2008 Author: yetmee | Filed under: Boutique, Designers, Fashion, Trends

Yes, tartans and plaids are back in big way this fall winter. You can wear it any which way you like , it suits all ages . Wear it punklike over short skirts or wear it as a jacket for work (hey , you can wear form 15 to 50 years, if you are cool enough maybe into your 60’s like Vivienne).. either way, you will be the envy of the highlander and every other fashionista.

Vivienne Westwood (punk rock designer) is one designer who found fame with tartan plaids and over the years has glamorize a material design steeped in clannishness and instead spread kinsmenship across the the fashion world with her use of tartan. This season , Dolce and Gabbana reinvented the wheel with tartan plaids coming in the form of cool tartan tights and the once tough tartans materials usually made from wool was given a soft touch in the form of billowy silk dresses… (more…)

Fall Trend:Laces

Aug 25, 2008 Author: karenmarie | Filed under: Designers, Fashion, Shopping, Trends

Nanette Lepore Lingerie Lace Top from Saks Fifth Avenue

While shopping over the weekend, a friend of mine tried on this lace-ey dress at Nichii and omg, I fell in love with it. It was a halter neck kinda neckline with a body hugging silhouette and it stops right above the knee. At one look, it looks really AWESOME. but owh boy look closer and you can see the bras and panty lines(doesn’t help when it was in bright colours). lols. I guess with proper underwear, the dress would look perfect. It was only RM69.90 and such a steal for that awesome look. Too bad she did not buy it.

I’ve always liked laces on clothes. Not overly tacky ones like what your grandmother wears, but a reasonable amount could make an outfit look uber feminine and yet still sophisticated, stylish and sexy :)

Seems like come this fall (ok so fall is here already), the lace trend is here (according to Elle and many other gazillion fashion media). Doesn’t have to be only clothes, but lace accessories and shoes too make the cut as a trend this fall :D

this lace+pearls headband by Jennifer Behr is so pretty!

Did not see any lace lacey stuff yet here at the online world of uber many clothes. Let’s hope to see them bring in lacey stuff  :)

Seen any lace-ey stuff online or offline?

More images below the cut!:) (more…)
