Fabian Tan- architect and emerging artist, age 34 years old, standing beside his art pieces, currently exhibited at Petronas Gallery

His style philosophy- always support local designers if possible and the design or artistic element is more important than the brand ….

I beg to differ if anyone comes telling me that pink should only be worn as skirts or dresses (think cheerleaders).

Meet Sherelyn Goh, a writer. See how she match her girly colour with the jumper to give the funky look she created? Awesome I tell you.

Now let me tell you girls where she got her outfit from. The necklace is from Topshop, could be worn as a long chain necklace or twice around the neck as done by Sherelyn. Pink vest, from Cats In A Bowl. Her jumpers from Tic Tac Toe. Belt from Mooie. Bracelet form Bangkok. Pink bag from Aldo. Shoes from Nine West.

She’s also a big fan of shopping online! It’s amazing what you can get from these online boutiques. Want proof? Just check out all our featured girls in KL in a Raw!

Charles and Keith at Pavillion KL and also Clarks (very comfy) in almost every shopping mall and Fiorucci (made of leather ) very funky and also very comfortable at Metrojaya stores and Isetan…
How about online stores…anyone can give us a quick update?

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!

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 …

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!

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…)

This time, necklace isn’t just a necklace anymore. What am I babbling about? Well, those days, we wore necklace to glam up our outfit, those pretty blings and diamonds.

Oh-So-Trendy

But NOW. We go crazy over these funky quirky necklace! Now it isn’t just another accessory. It’s YOUR personality.

These funky necklace are been sold everywhere! You’ll be spoilt for all the choices given.

Now do you see what I mean?

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

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…)

She was browsing through the items at the bazaar when what she wore caught my eye. The combination of the top and the 3-quarter pants gives it a hip-hop laid back street style. Her accessories were paired to a minimal to serve the attitude the look was giving. I love how the white and dark brown color contrast that match her tan skin tone which some of us Malaysians have. Her outfit was all bought from 1 Utama Shopping Centre, one of our favorite shopping haven!  

Got this in my email. Just wanted to share with everyone!

Charles & Keith’s newest collection are at the Pavillion store! Click for a bigger image

Have you ever seen men who wear long nails on their pinkies because it purportedly helps be rich if a pinkie is long? 

The Empress Dowager wore nail accessories that were made of gold and about 6inches long…of course that is not so functional unless like her you have someone to help dress and feed you and other personal amenities all the time. But fear not for all you who believe in accessorizing your nails, check out this store, Bijules and their range of pinkie nail rings and nail accessories….

They look kind of pretty don’t they, but I would imagine also cumbersome like a chastity belt of sorts… still one must always try to differentiate, hey maybe that’s why the Dowager was the Dowager, cos she had those long artificial nail accessories. Give it a shot :-)lols. Bijules in located in New York, but they do ship internationally too Asian market.

What’s her style?

“Old-fashioned without the age, dolly dresses, brilliant and milky colors combined, sometimes oriental in the mix, fifties pinup glamor makeover, less than perfect, little-big-girl with a nerdy/librarian twist and overall, frugal!” Ana

Emmagem’s Comments:

Ana , we love her cool red tights and the heart pendant …The whole ensemble was made chic and stylish with the right splash of colour , it was well thought out and contains all the element of the lastest look like tulip skirt , yet it has a certain classic feel to it. It certainly makes her one stylish lecturer (yes she is a lecturer). We knew she would be the winner at first sight!-yetmee

Emmagem’s comment:
Tati looked real cool in her skinny jeans and checkered crop unstructured jacket…she managed to look very sophisticated and completing the outfit with strappy pumps was just the right touch, without making the whole look OTT. Even her glasses somehow matched the outfit,chic and sharp -yetmee

4 Nicole

Where did she get this outfit?

Hat - Was a birthday present
Grey Tank Top - Cotton On
Brown Leather Suspenders - Small Unnamed Shop
Black Pants - MNG
Shoes - Vincci

What’s her style?

“I love early 20th century outfits, and the class that they bring. Clean cuts and lots of white and black with minimal colour. Other than that, I’m usually quite casual. I’m a huge fan of denim, and anything unique and eccentric. I love earthen tones and natural fibers. I like seeing skater-surfer influences in clothing as well, I guess it only makes sense since I’ve lived near a beach all my life.  To narrow it down, I guess I often alternate between clean-and-classy styles, mildly boho themes or just being a beach bum. Sometimes it finds it’s way altogether, though…When it comes to style, I think - Casual, Comfort, and Quirky. Biggest Weaknesses : Bags, Sweaters, Flip-Flops and Sneakers.” Nicole

Emmagem’s Comments:
Nicole’s attitude with her boyish ensemble was refreshing and captivating. The whole outfit was playful and yet sensuous , playing up her femininity!…very in trend…-yetmee

Emmagem’s Comments:

and look even more classy pairing up with nice clutch and pretty high heels!” Li Ling

Emmagem’s Comments:
Li Ling’s outfit at one glance was simple , but a study of the way she matched all the accessories and glamorise the simple knit dress was interesting. It was a different way of wearing the safari look… by using her accessories…note the leopard clutch, the beaded and chunky necklace, the rugged leather belt… safari chic took on a whole new meaning …-yet mee
