miss bohemian chic..the OBVIOUS thing to do in regards to your recent (and first) post is TO BUY A NEW BAG!!! hehehehe...
and you should have one emergency bag as a back up for the one you are currently using. oh! then you should have an emergency bag for the emergency bag for incase the first emergency bag fails.. oh! to really really really prepare your self for the worst case scenario, have a closet full of bags! hehehehe..

Case of the Eyeliner Monster
it all started on one fine morning, during the usual mad scramble for work. you see, my normal routine everyday would be (in 10 mins): dab some powder, slap on some lip balm, line my eyes, don the hijab and go. just imagine my head like a production line conveyor and my hands are machinery arms putting all the pieces together, except my head is not actually revolving of course. so if one step is missed, the whole routine would crash as the whole mechanism would fail and i'd feel terribly incomplete to start a day's work ahead.
so on that fateful morning, one hand was dabbing the powder and the other was groping everywhere in my plus-sized bag for the liner. after a fair bit of searching i still couldn't locate it, be it in its usual pocket or any other area in the bag. by then the alarms in my head started to go off and i turned my full attention to search for that elusive eyeliner. i'd have to tell you i'm a huge fan of eyeliner and at any one time i would usually have 3 different colors in possession...so imagine my horror when i couldn't find all 3! where can my precious eyeliners be?? seeing that i was already 30 mins late for work, i decided to just leave it and investigate later.
so the days after that was spent searching for the eyeliners. i ransacked my room, interrogated my sister, cleaned out my car (just in case) but they were nowhere to be found. i even bought another eyeliner to soothe my sorrows.
until one day...i was searching for something in my bag when i felt a long shape under the bag lining. curiosity got the better of me so i emptied out the contents to see what was this mystery thing hiding in there (told you my bag was huge :P) and how i could get it out. it turns out there was this small itty bitty hole in the side pocket, big enough for to poke a finger through. so i vigorously guided the mystery thing to reach the hole and yes, you guessed it...it was one of my eyeliners! order was restored again in bohemian-land! thus this happy moment of discovery lead me to search my bag again for any more stuff hiding in there...as a result i found the other 2 eyeliners in there AND my lip gloss which i though i misplaced somewhere.
so girls (and boys), there's valuable lesson to be learned by all of us here...invest in a good makeup bag to store your cosmetics! u never know when the eyeliner monster will attack :D

Coach Sale
i have got drool coming down my chin, my legs are all jittery with excitement and i can practically hear my credit cards screaming for help (or is that my husband?)
starting this week, there are many Sales going on.
these are a few of them...
Coach Sale
My mama-in-law was kind enough to give me her pass to go for Coach's VIP Preview Sale!
I really like Coach Sales. The past sales i went to (not preview sales though) gave me 30% off the handbags! And with these sales, i have managed to "grow" my handbag collection.
soon, i will be able to have a "handbag closet" just like the one Juliet Draper has in Cashmere Mafia Season 1... *melt*
and here are the handbags i am looking out for.
Resort Leather Shoulder
i absolutely love the unique knot-ty handle on this. and the colour! looks as yummy as a bubblegum!
Canvas Leah Tote
a rather unusual yet interesting monogram look to this. very edgy!
it comes with a detachable long strap, for you to wear across your body.

these are quite NEW bags. so i am unsure if they are available in malaysia. or even on sale!
my other options are...
Ergo Convertible Tote
i have always loved this matt gold look. and this is so chic!
Soho Leather Satchel
Gorgeous red. 'nuff said.
Leah Wristlets
*sigh*. i can never get enough of their wristlets. best things to be created ever.
it may be time to replace my well-worn beige wristlet that mcdreamy bought for me. and they also have the nice colourful striped ones! (hopefully in malaysia too!)
this multicoloured design was also in the form of a clutch maybe 3-4 seasons ago. but i couldn't afford it at that time. so i missed it. *sigh*

here are some bags that caught my eye online. again, might not be available in Malaysia. but we will see.
Baby Beaton Tote
i try not to buy conventional bags (the rebel in me). so, i prefer unique looking ones. like this!
a drawstring bag. prefer it in black trimmings though.
Haymarket Shoulder Tote
another interesting shape. love the belt-like buckle.
Drawstring Tote
another interesting matt gold. or as they call it...goldstone.
i am very interested in across body bags right now. think it looks effortlessly stylish. i like.

the nine west shoes that i totally fell in love with more than a month ago.

Isetan Sale
the nine west shoes that i totally fell in love with more than a month ago.
the...'infiniti'...
luxurious suede and a cute buckle at the front. what sold me were the heels. looks chunky, but if you look from another angle, it looks really slim.
and despite the 4-inch height, it is super comfy.
*melt*
i think, even if it is not on sale...i will still get this. simply because i will need it for my costume. and after doing the "investment-calculation" (based on amount paid and no. of times used)...this will be a good pair of "investment".
i "heart" nine west.

FJ Benjamin Warehouse Sale
housing all their brands, like Gap, Banana Republic, Guess, La Senza and others...i have had many wonderful (and not so wonderful) experiences at this sale.
usually packed to the brim, you would need to be super determined to fight through the crowd.
the discounts are rather good.
i love to get basic tops from banana republic here. usually i can get it between RM50-RM80 per top. not bad.
so, if you are not doing anything this weekend...make your way to Park Royal Hotel (Orchid Ballroom on Level 2) from 10am to 7pm.
TIPS:
so my fellow shopaholics...SHOP SHOP SHOP...and SHOP till you DROP!
however, don't spend uselessly. there IS a credit crunch (read: recession) coming up soon (the good citizen in me...muahahaha)

TIPS:
- Don't bring a handbag. Cause you would need to submit it at the front. Just bring a wristlet, which you can dangle on your wrist (duh!) and hence not obstructing your shopping galore.
- Wear a tank top/spaghetti strap top underneath your top. this way, you don't have to queue up for the dressing booths (VERY LONG QUEUE). better still, if you also pair this with a skirt...that way you can try on bottoms at the same time.

turn back time...
it's that time of the year.
annual dinners, where we have to dress up for occasion.
this time however, we are expected to dress like in the 60's and 70's!
groovy baby.
i am sure many people will go all hippie-like. so, i thought i'd do a 'twiggy' instead.

twiggy was more "mod". "mod" is actually short for modern. so, this was considered "mod-ern" in the 60's. it was perceived modern, because before going "mod", everything was about poufy skirts (think Grease) and nipped waist. almost androgyenous, "mod" played with streamlined, straight cut & non-fussed looks. hence, people during that period HAD to by "twiggy-like". :p
so, despite my "lack of twiggy-ness", i am thinking more of shift dresses...mini dresses...cute pumps...tights?
i am not too keen on spending too much on this. so, i DID find something in my closet that COULD pass off as "mod".

any comments?
notice the shoes?
these are the 'infiniti's from Nine West.
RRP at RM369.
hefty. but something i would DEFINITELY wear to work.
Anyway, Isetan is starting their sale this Friday (28/12/08). So, hopefully these will be on sale too.
i will still be walking around looking out for other outfits. thinking of going to topshop, where i always imagine that they would have something "mod". or even mng.
any suggestions?

Mad-ternity fashion
i am not sure if it is because i am now married and hence expected to conceive...
but i am seeing pregnant women everywhere i go!
AND my darling miss funky chic is also "baking a bun in her oven"...:)
there is a part of me that yearns to hold my own child in my arms. especially when i see my nephew and nieces, my maternal instinct kicks in instantly!
however, the thought of...putting on MORE weight than i would not pregnant also scares me. and *gasp*...what do i wear????
so, to prepare myself...and also to inspire other mom-to-be's...here are some tips on how to be more of a fashionable preggo, and less dowdy :)
Tip No. 1: the Keffiyah
this trend (also can be worn by non-mom-to-be's) was introduced by hip hop artist, kanye west. faced with a lot of public resistance, who said that he is promoting Islamic terrorism. i mean, how duuuh can you be??
anyway...this (or any other scarf...in case you don't want to raise a critical eye) WORN in this manner, is also good to camouflage your pregger belly!
our fave pregnant star ashlee simpson was seen wearing a floral keffiyah/scarf over a bright checkered tee, paired with black trousers and jacket.
where-to-buy: i bought one myself at Sunway Pyramid's Asian Avenue, for only RM30! wouldn't want to invest too much on this. :)

Tip No. 2: Flowy Maxi Dresses
This has always been a favourite for me. pregnant or not. some said, that only tall and lanky ladies can pull this look off. but i don't agree (or at least, i am in denial!). Nothing much to comment about this look. just ensure that the dresses you choose are empire-waisted to make space for your growing belly...:)
where-to-buy: this is in trend at the moment. most shops, boutiques and even online stores are selling these. check out mooie (bangsar & online), a model studio and other online stores listed on emmagem.com.

Tip No. 3: Big tops + Leggings
Aaah...Super Comfort. Probably to be worn on this relaxing weekends...or grocery shopping trips. but be warned. when pregnant, body parts WILL swell. and no, i don't mean just your belly. your legs will too! so, practice caution with this look. don't want to end up looking like a sausage!!
where-to-buy: i am not sure if expectant moms can wear normal leggings (never tried!), but i am sure maternity stores will sell these. so do check them out!
well, this is it for now from me...on maternity fashion. maybe miss funky chic would like to share her maternity fashion do's and don'ts?

gossip girls..continue
to answer miss urban chic's question do you watch gossip girls? ..i don't..simply because i don't have astro at my bachelorette's pad! hehehe... but i do get updates from my dear sister who is absolutely in love with that show.
just this morning she told me theres this website everything on gossip girls. so if you are like my sister do check out Dress Like Gossip Girls . i have to admit i kinda like some of their styles..
xoxo..miss glam chic
hehehe..told ya my sis keeps me updated!

do you watch gossip girl?
and go..."wow...love the hairband!"...or..."check out her cute dress!"..."mmm...shoooooees"...
during my usual browse through of InStyle.com, there was a section where you will be able to see all the outfits featured (episode by episode too!)...and the where-to-buys! and some...the look-a-likes.
so, if you are interested...
instyle.com>trends>movie & tv fashion>tv fashion
:)
now that you know what they are wearing...and you have fully analyse their outfits...you can not probably try to emulate them!
these are some of my faves from Season 2.
This beautiful frilly blouse is by Bill Blass. and love blair's hair in this.
what a beautiful red! this dress is a catherine malandrino.
i absolutely love love the whole skinny jeans look. if only i am not such a sausage...
her jeans are J Brand's Low Rise 12 inches Pencil Leg Jean in Super Dark. her cute bag is a Devi Kroell (never heard of this designer..hahaha)...and her boots are from my fave brand...Nine West (though never understood the concept of wearing boots in Malaysia. too darn hot!)
not something i would wear to my college (what more Yale!)...i mean, if you look at it item by item...it seems nice. but the chest baring shirt?? sheesh kebab.
the jacket is Ralph Lauren paired with Rich & Skinny jeans (how apt!)...and she's carrying a Celine bag.
i don't really like vanessa. well, simply because i always feel that she has something up her sleeve! anyway, her dress is by Jovovich Hawk.
this is a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress. i love the bright orange in this!
not too keen about the outfit, but check out the green Ferragamo bag!
xoxo, gossip girl
chiffon
oh! im on a roll!! its friday and im cutting my lunch short so that i can write in here!
i just LOVE chiffons. its light weight fabric gives that elegant and floating appearence to the dress or top. when you put it on, everything just fall into places...and when you move it has that natural...flow.. makes you feel like you're gliding through the clouds..*sigh*
*dreamy look* i wish i have a closet full of chiffon dresses and tops. i have a few, but not enough. (not that its ever enough for us girls..hehehe). the best part is it never goes out of style. it goes with practically everything. wear it with jeans, you'll get that casual yet posh look. on a slightly more formal occasion, wear it with pants.. uuu..glam-ness!
those chiffon dresses.. TO DIE FOR! especially with puff sleeves or frills..oh! i LOVE frills!! but don't over do it ladies! hehehe..
but the one thing i don't like about chiffon is.. flip the lable at it will say HAND WASH ONLY or DRY CLEAN ONLY.. oh man! the cost of maintaining it is more than the price of the garment! oh well..nothings perfect right.
keep it glamorous,
miss glam chic

(innocent smile)
at the front of the store, there were 2 tables with loads of anya hindmarch paper bags carefully lined up. after signing the guest book, i was given the goodie bag! was hoping for a mini pouch of some sort...but what was given was good enough...:)...there was a really nice note/sketch book, a booklet on the colletor's items and a booklet on the be-a-bag product.
Goodie bag

jeans!
my firts entry! *clap clap*
i just wanted to say something about my miss urban chic's recent post on joe's jeans.
im a HUGE fan of jeans myself. i mean finding THE jeans is never ever easy.
but i found it! let me tell you the story when i found LOVE..hahaha..
story goes like this.. it was sometime in 2005 in UK. on a really lazy saturday, i sat down watching VH1 from morning till ..god knows what time! that particular day they were showing a marathon of The Fabulous Life of Celebrities.. and yes! their life is fabulous and full of glam-ness!
anyways, one show was on celebrity style. they were showing what the celebrities are wearing now days, whats in and whats not etc. and THEN they started talking about jeans! that caught my attention! well not that i wasn't already... hehehe..
they were showing what jeans the models are wearing. for their extra long slim legs these models can't fit into any ordinary jeans. they have to wear a specially designed jeans to accommodate their oh-so-perfect long legs. and that specially designed jeans my friends is called HUDSON JEANS.. the LOVE of my life..
and suddenly i see myself in those jeans! now, i don't have long slim legs and they are faaar from perfect! haahaha.. but i was indenial! after watching all those fabulous life, i felt like i was living the life! see what tv can do to you! so i quickly got up from my couch, make my way to my laptop. (while i was walking towards it, i was already imagining myself wearing hudson jeans. the funny part was, i was doing the cat walk like the supermodels.. day dreaming is my favourite past time)
so got to my laptop and googled for my hudson jeans. and that is when i came across revolve clothing website. the supermodels are wearing the hudson jeans signature jeans.. and when i saw the picture.. its definitely made for the supermodels! basically if you've got really long, tiny slim legs, this is the jeans for you. but i was in my own happy world that time. and in that world i had the supermodel body and legs WOW! so click here and there and tadaaaa.. " Thank you for purchasing at Revolve Clothing. Your order will be shipped on ..."
and then it hit me.. oh my god!! i just bought a pair of jeans without trying them on! i mean you never ever by jeans without trying them on right?! and plus by that time im back to reality already and guess what.. surprise!! i don't have supermodel figure what so ever!
a week or so a parcel arrived for me. *heart beating really fast* please please please let it fit me. opened it slowly..took out my FIRST hudson jeans... first thought.."looks good. i can fit into this" so i put them on and OH MY GOD (F.R.I.E.N.D.S style) its P.E.R.F.E.C.T and i LOOOOVEEE it! and that my dear friends, is how i found THE jeans. and to date i've got 2 pairs of hudson jeans.
lesson learned here...
1) believe and just go with what you really want! (in my case, at that particular moment i believed i've got a model like figure..hahaha)
2) never ever buy things without trying them on first.. i was lucky!
3) but if you are gonna buy something without trying, make sure you're really good at day dreaming. hehehe..
i don't think that made sense..then again nothing does!
keep it glamorous!

anyways, one show was on celebrity style. they were showing what the celebrities are wearing now days, whats in and whats not etc. and THEN they started talking about jeans! that caught my attention! well not that i wasn't already... hehehe..
they were showing what jeans the models are wearing. for their extra long slim legs these models can't fit into any ordinary jeans. they have to wear a specially designed jeans to accommodate their oh-so-perfect long legs. and that specially designed jeans my friends is called HUDSON JEANS.. the LOVE of my life..
and suddenly i see myself in those jeans! now, i don't have long slim legs and they are faaar from perfect! haahaha.. but i was indenial! after watching all those fabulous life, i felt like i was living the life! see what tv can do to you! so i quickly got up from my couch, make my way to my laptop. (while i was walking towards it, i was already imagining myself wearing hudson jeans. the funny part was, i was doing the cat walk like the supermodels.. day dreaming is my favourite past time)
so got to my laptop and googled for my hudson jeans. and that is when i came across revolve clothing website. the supermodels are wearing the hudson jeans signature jeans.. and when i saw the picture.. its definitely made for the supermodels! basically if you've got really long, tiny slim legs, this is the jeans for you. but i was in my own happy world that time. and in that world i had the supermodel body and legs WOW! so click here and there and tadaaaa.. " Thank you for purchasing at Revolve Clothing. Your order will be shipped on ..."
and then it hit me.. oh my god!! i just bought a pair of jeans without trying them on! i mean you never ever by jeans without trying them on right?! and plus by that time im back to reality already and guess what.. surprise!! i don't have supermodel figure what so ever!
a week or so a parcel arrived for me. *heart beating really fast* please please please let it fit me. opened it slowly..took out my FIRST hudson jeans... first thought.."looks good. i can fit into this" so i put them on and OH MY GOD (F.R.I.E.N.D.S style) its P.E.R.F.E.C.T and i LOOOOVEEE it! and that my dear friends, is how i found THE jeans. and to date i've got 2 pairs of hudson jeans.
lesson learned here...
1) believe and just go with what you really want! (in my case, at that particular moment i believed i've got a model like figure..hahaha)
2) never ever buy things without trying them on first.. i was lucky!
3) but if you are gonna buy something without trying, make sure you're really good at day dreaming. hehehe..
i don't think that made sense..then again nothing does!
keep it glamorous!

go joe...
now that i have stopped hyperventilating at spending A LOT on my 2 new pairs of jeans...i can write a lil on them.
:)
joe's jeans. a favourite amongst the celebrities (then again, what isn't?! especially after reading Fashion Babylon...the jeans were probably seeded to them), these designer jeans come in various fits to suit your body shape.
chelsea - leggings
cigarette - straight
honey - curvy
muse - high waist
provocateur - petite
rocker - flare
socialite - classic
twiggy - tall
seen on hayden panettiere, jessica alba, lindsay lohan and other curvy celebs, i was convinced that these willhopefully also make me look bootylicious.
miss glam chic mentioned to me that there is this website, Revolve Clothing, which sells all these designer jeans (incl. Hudson Jeans, Paige Premium Denim, 7 For all Mankind, etc.). when i checked it out, it did not disappoint me. there were so many types of jeans (and other clothings & accesories)! the only problem is that they do not deliver to Malaysia. So if you know someone in the US or the UK...it's worth the shot.
for each item, there are so many aids for you to help make a better decision or choice. there are the details, more views & colours, fit guide and reviews. I found the reviews to be particularly helpful, because i can take them into consideration while making my decision.
Note: These jeans are way cheaper in the US compared to the UK. therefore, it is really worth it to purchase on this website...especially seeing as orders with more than USD100 gets free
international shipping anyway. but of course, if you are already living in the US...why bother buying them online...just go to the shop!
so, after weeks of research in terms of sizing, i have decided on the following pairs of jeans.

1. Joe's Jeans Honey in Perry Colour
The Honey - [n:booty fit] Curvy, Voluptuous and sexy are just a few ways to describe this silhouette's show-stopping effect. Fitted at the waist and contoured for the ultra feminine physique. Voluptuous never had it so good.
2. Joe's Jeans Provocateur in Vincent
The Provocateur [n: petite fit] Inspired by all those times when late nights and genuine attraction come together. This silhouette has a shorter inseam and a higher knee break to lengthen the leg. It's no wonder then that a petite girl in a great fitting pair of jeans has all the sex appeal in the world.
i really like this...because of the short-er inseam. other jeans usually run at 34 inches, which are model-like measurements! nevertheless, they can still be hemmed. :)
it IS rather unsightly to see long hems worn with flats. simply because you will be sweeping the floor when you walk in them.
or even hanging hems when worn with heels...because you just look weird. :p
as you can see, i have chosen both in dark washes. for the right or wrong reasons. still feeling rather cautious because i am buying jeans ONLINE. without trying. and am really praying that my research pays off. and that at least dark washes are more forgiving than lighter ones.
[URGENT] Revolve Clothing is currently doing a special pre-X'mas promo. 30% off on all purchases (excluding those already on sale). which is really good! i saved USD100 through this.
HURRY! it ends 12 midnight 19 November (US time) OR 4pm 20 November (Malaysian time).
Tip: If you are paying with a Malaysian Credit Card, you will notice that Revolve Clothing won't accept them (Malaysia is not listed in the pull down menu when putting in your credit card)...so click on Google checkout instead, and you will be good to go!
ok, i feel much better after writing this post. kind of justified my purchases.
insyallah.
- 34 inches inseam - obviously i would need to hem it
- 7.5 inches rise - low rise, just the way i like 'em
- 98% cotton with 2 % elastane - that little stretch to help me squeeze into 'em
- 15 inches knee, which breaks into 17.5 inches leg opening - boot cut. and i like it that its only 17.5 inches instead of the usual 18 inches
