AllDressedUp from Singapore
During my last trip in Singapore, I made it a point to check out AllDressedUp, a home-grown Singapore label founded by Tina Tan-Leo, the lady who is responsible for The LInk, a luxury brand boutique based in Singapore. I like the style and cut in the range of versatile clothing and accessories at AllDressedUp. They are designed for fashion forward individuals and I find the clothing very wearable and relaxed. I was attracted to a few knitted tunics and a soft short-sleeved knitted crop top which didn’t have the colour I desired. Some may find the prices for some of the silk and cotton tops a little dear but you may like to reserve them for more important and dressy occasions. I only hope that more of their collection can be found online soon. For now, I can’t wait to visit their boutique in The Gardens at Mid Valley City, Malaysia.
metallics can be great for dailies too
Juicy Couture FreeStyle Metallic Handbag
Just when you think that metallics are for night parties, evening outings and occasional events, think again. There are some cool metallic shoes and bags that are great for daily modern fashionistas too. As a matter of fact, it is nice to carry a simple metallic bag to work too as long as you don’t be too matchy matchy or over accessorizing yourself with chunky silver jewelry or silvery clothing. Whatever you choose to wear, it is safe to stay simple and minimal. Stick to the principle of “less is more” and you won’t stand out like a sore thumb.
limited edition necklace from Jeanine Payer
I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the price for this gorgeous item from Jeanine Payer.
From the Limited Edition series, this stunning necklace features a unique diamond slice fastened to a hand sculpted 18k gold frame, coupled with a hand formed sterling silver plate. Now I know where the value lies – the diamond slice! To align with Jeanine’s jewelry signature identity, the hand engraving appears through the diamond flake on the brushed silver plate. The special message says…
And I will thread a thread through my poems that time and events are compact,
And that all the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.
-Walt Whitman
The price: $5,750.00
jewelry with a special message
I have to confess that I am a fan of the little blue box. Not so much of the box and the white ribbon but I adore the luxury finish and simple elegance of Tiffany jewelry. But for an item so personal and exquisite, I would prefer to take a look at the collections of jewelry designer, Jeanine Payer, whose clients comprise of the rich and famous who themselves prefer a touch of difference and a hint of exclusiveness.
spring is here, ladies!
In case you don’t know, spring collection is already here for most fashion labels and if you are one of those who is allergic to the latest trends and styles, it’s time to check out what’s new for Spring 2008.
I am not one of those who must be up to date with seasonal trends and colours as I believe it’s more important to wear what suits me for the right occasion. For instance, my skin tone wouldn’t tolerate red hot pink so no matter how ‘in’ and popular the colour is, I would stay away from it. I am adventurous to try out new styles but I’m very particular to choose the right colours to match with my light tanned skin tone. A wrong choice of colour can make me look like a sore thumb in the crowd and I will do anything to avoid that!
