don’t try to be like jennifer lopez or kate moss

One of the fun things to do at the beach or poolside is to people watch. I enjoy looking at chic costumes and stylish swim wear. It’s also fun to see how some women try to squeeze their body into their sexy costumes when they should be wearing swim wear of another style and design.

From an image consultant’s point of view, not everyone of us is suitable for bikini. As much as we like to look good and sexy in our swim wear, it’s important not to be too misguided by what we see in fashion magazines. Let’s face it, most of us don’t have legs and body like the models or celebrities like Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey or Kate Moss. So, you should pick a swim wear that looks good on your figure and stature. Though a one piece swim suit may seem old fashioned or out dated but if you pick the right colour to complement your colour system, you will look more attractive than a sexy swim wear that shows all your fats and flaws. Eco-fashionistas can now check out the eco swim collection at BTC Elements.

so it’s father’s day gift now

I heard a few of my lady friends complaining that their husbands didn’t bother to honour them on Mother’s day. All they care is to honour their moms but not their wives! So what about Father’s day, should you just honour your dad or your children’s dad too, who is your other half?

Well, if you are planning to surprise your man this Father’s day, how about picking a nice stylish shirt for him? I’ve been checking out the men’s collection at Raoul and I believe you can pick a Father’s day gift for your man or dad from the online store. Though there are more business shirts on the online store, you can also take a look at the cufflinks, ties and other accessories which make good Father’s day gifts too. If you prefer, hop into one of the Raoul boutiques in Asia or Middle East if online shopping is not your game at all

living in the world of credit cards

Nowadays, I don’t need to worry if I have enough cash in my pocket when I’m out shopping. All I need to make sure is that I have my valid credit cards with me and I can feel safe in making my shopping treats. The only thing is there are still shops that require you to spend a minimum when making payment via credit cards so it still help to carry some cash with you at all times. Read more

the spring/summer collection from tous

Yesterday, I walked past the Tous counter in a nearby mall and took a sneak peek of the new collection. When I got home that night, I went to the official website of Tous to check out the new Spring-Summer collection.

This Spanish label has always been my favourite. To be honest, I’m never that sort of gal who grew up with teddy bears but Tous is really cool. The bearish logo reminds us of the little girl in me and I must give credit to the creative designs of the bags that never seem to fail every season. What I love is add to my accessory treasures would be a Tous murano glass pendant when I find one that I truly like. This new 18kt yellow gold with pave diamonds called Flora is a lovely one that is new to the collection this season. As for the handbags, this range of Crochet collection has appealed to me. With three different sizes and styles available, each of them looks like a chic handbag to carry around for any casual or non-formal occasion. Find them in your nearest Tous store.
