I have bunions too! Nothing really major but enough to be a hassle when i want to buy beautiful ballerina flats or high heeled covered shoes which are always so narrow.
Is there any way to get rid of bunions?

Sy

Hey, Sy, I understand your dilemma..but bunions are kinda hard to get rid of on our own once they start. They are an outgrowth of bone on your metatarsophalangeal joint , that makes  the feet look a little deformed as they force the big toe to grow in direction of the other toes, a bunionette is the outgrowth at the small toe.. sounds so cute but it is not! . There is no real way of getting rid of them except for surgery which doesn’t guaratee it doesn’t return if one persists on wearing the same type of shoes. Another point of consideration would be that bunions are thought to be hereditary , check out  your  mom or dad’s feet.

The only way is really prevention, as bunions like calluses and corns , which are hardened and thickened skin and corn is the that looks like a corn kernel on surface of toes. Corns  can be removed by using over the counter top plasters although it isn’t recommended as they contain salycylic acid and can cause infection. You can also try to have the dead skin cut off but be careful you don’t cut too deep and injure the good skin.

The way is to wear proper shoes with wide fronts to give more room to the feet. And I recently found that the Scholl Party Feet range has a range for sore spots, what a saviour, they are super versatile like translucent spiderman, stick ‘em anywhere and anyhow inside your shoes. You see if you have a bunion , it really hurts when you walk on high heels and pressure is exerted on the bottom of the bunioned foot, so the silicon spot placed directly where pressure is most is really great! Try it , I did, and walking  isn’t so painful anymore. Also, I really like the silicone range as they are soft without going jelly on you, retains shape and firmness and doesn’t run around in the shoe, their sticky underside ensures this. But just stick where the most friction occurs, because if you stick them unnecessarily , they cause the shoe space to be reduced inside and  tighten the shoe  which lands you where you started. They are a tad pricey though at RM18.90 for 6 spots  but you can wash and reuse them and transfer them from shoe to shoe. They are available at Vita CAre Pharmacies at Gardens and  Bangsar Shopping Centre, where I found mine, did not find any at Guardian Midvalley. But it’s RM18.90 or surgery , well …for now it will do.

All these corns , calluses and bunions are caused by ill fitting shoes  which generates constant rubbing and friction between skin and shoes. So wear good fitting shoes so that the arch and toe space is there. Oohh..oohh also  toe spacers may be a good idea, will check those out. You can also try and look out for bunion splint  to be used at night , apparently bunion may go away over time if you do. The thing about bunions like corns, it hurts and usually will eventually spread to both foot, sounds so ominous but find the best solution for you and for professional advice look up a podiatrist so they can advise you best.   And soak in warm water to ease pain and swelling at the end of day.

And you know what, I really want to wear thongs but I have to respect the fact that I have a bunion and though they might look funny exposed , if the thongs are comfortable I’ll go for it. Feet image is like body image , it must come from the inside and it must you make you feel comfortable in more ways than one!! Anyway , just get creative, remember  to remember to highlight the positives …

Do read the linked articles cause I find they make  good sense for the formation , prevention and treatments….

Hey,  anyone know a  real good podiatrist or any other remedy , this is a fashionista emergency!!:-)lols

Does anyone knw any vintage shop online? cheaper perhaps.
Miyakez

Hey Miyakez!

The only “vintage” finds i could find are the ones at Fashionista Junkyard Sales. They sell pretty vintage goods.From clothes to bags to shoes. It is so vintage, it is dusty:)

I previously came across a blogshop that sold vintage handbags. They’re called The Junksters.

They currently sell bags and belts:)

Pretty interesting items for a really affordable price. Everything looks like its in an awesome condition too. Hope that helps:)

Anyone knows of any other vintage shops? COMMENT!

Boyshorts Bikini are a hit thing now. I want to wear them, but my problem is that I have short legs with huge thighs. Which style would best compliment my body shape?

Jean

Hi, Jean,  well boyshorts are the hit right now, but always wear something that suits your body and that you are comfortable in. It also depends on  which part  you would prefer to emphasise . You can get an elongated look for your legs by wearing swimsuits that have  a high cut leg, wear a one piece instead of bikinis as it shortens the visual of the torso therefore gives illusion of longer legs. The illusion of length to your thighs is enhanced  as the visual is pulled upwards. You can also  draw attention away from the bottom half of your body with a big floral swimsuit on upper body  or  with details on neckline like a plunging neckline or even racer back to emphasize your nice shoulders and back.  The other way is to hide the size  of your thigh by wearing a skirted bikini , in a solid color. But I would stay away from boyshorts.

it would be great if anyone out there knows where to find high-waisted pants! i cant seem to find it anywhere laah!

Organize your bag! Image from here

Hey dears ,
I was checking out some shopping sites and I came across this purse/bag organiser which is apparently “all the rage” in some countries. Personally ,I find it to be quite useful as I believe alot of us are lugging big bags and may have problems looking for small objects. I have problems locating my phone since my bag is full of small nessecities and stuff. Would you all kindly advise where to buy this in KL area? Shipping costs alot and it seems too extravagant to spend USD30+ to get it shipped. I’ve attached the picture of the organiser and provided the link to the website.http://www.purseneat.com/index.htm
Hope to hear from you all soon.Will be checking the emmagem.com site for updates.
Thanks=)

love to shopping muslim wear (trendy & fashionable), but where can i get the products beside getgourgeous.fotopages website?

Mel

Hey Mel!

Muslim Fashion has hit the internet long ago!:) Many shops has been here for quite some time. One of the thing that we noticed is that they usually just wear a normal dress, but with an inner top(as they call it) and a hijab (Tudung, in Malay) We found this awesome website, sort of like Who What Wear Daily, but it is for Muslim Women who wear hijabs. It’s called We Love Hijab( http://welovehijab.com/ ). Check that site out for more Muslim Fashion. Check out what’s hot, then search through our MOFSD page and find for dresses and blouses that will compliment an inner wear.

Just make sure you have inner wears in multiple colours. Then you can mix and match items to be worn with hijabs:) Inners are just plain long sleeved tees, that is thin enough to be layered, yet still look modest.

Inner from Sweet Design Wardrobe, RM23

Wear it with this cute guitar top, RM43 from Sweet Design Wardrobe

Or this Hola Tunic from Get Gorgeous, RM69.90

This is a Picasso Sleeveless Top from Get Gorgeous, RM43 worn with a blue inner

According to WeLoveHijab, maxi’s are in with a proper jacket. So much you can do when you just mix and match!

I’ve only found a few online stores that specializes in Muslim Fashion in Malaysia. These are: (more…)

Xandi

Hey Xandi,

There are different kinds of tanning aids that you can find on the market. It depends on which part of your body you wish to add colour to - the face or the body.

For giving your face a lil bronzed goddess look, you could get bronzing powders such as 10 and Dallas from beniFit Cosmetics.

10 (RM129)

dallas (RM 129)

Besides these, you could also find bronzing powders from The Body Shop and M.A.C. Cosmetics.

Sun Lustre Bronzer from The Body Shop

Solar Field Bronzing Powder from M.A.C Cosmetics

Other than face bronzers, there are also bronzing lotions that can be used to give you a healthy glow all over your body. BeneFit Cosmetics as well as The Body Shop carries products that cater to this purpose.

Haty

Hey Haty!:)

I was at the Square Room at Bangsar Telawi Streets.  I saw one Zebra Top that is exactly what you mentioned in your question!:)

(Sorry, it was at Bangsar, not Hartamas! Sorry for the wrong info, Louanne was with me then and I got confused! I went to both square rooms in two days in a row!:) )

Hartamas Shopping Centre also has this square room where they have a whole loads of small stalls at one space. They just opened one square room at Bangsar Telawi Streets to add to the growing list of Bangsar Shops already! lols!

Or else, does any other e-shop sells Zebra Inspired Tops?

Owh owh, there’s a Japanese Food Fair happening there too! So if you love japanese food, head over there for some awesome deal.
