Spring trends for all body types...

-adapted from Instyle.com

Do you have Curvy Hips?

• Draw eyes above to your pretty face and decolletage with an eye-catching and interesting neckline (think v-necks or embellishments)
• Balance your bottom half with a top that creates volumes on your top hald - boatnecks, off shoulder tops, puffed sleeves...
  
• wear your jackets, long cardigans or shirt dresses unbuttoned (do wear something underneath to avoid unneccessary exposure...) to create a longer, streamlined look
  

Are you Tiny & Petite?

• Fit, fit, fit! Baggy and oversized clothes are not for you, as this will literally "drown" you.
  
• Play with illusions...drop waists creates a longer torse and high waisted trousers creates long legs!
  
• Don't wear something with a large graphic design...or a dizzying print...as this will overwhelm you. Remember, you weareth the clothes...and not the clothes weareth you...

Are you blessed with Big Boobs?

• Bras are YOUR best friends! Ensure that you buy those with a good fit to ensure that there are unsightly buldges.
• Say NO to turtlenecks. This just makes you look chunky.
• Ensure that you keep anything near the neckline subtle. This looks elegant. Anything bold...will just make you look trashy & trying-too-hard.

Are you a bit of a Tomboy or just have a No-Waist-Syndrome?

• Pick a neckline that shows a little bit of chest (no...i don't mean flash your boobs...). Think pretty sweetheart & v-necklines.
• You are those lucky ones that can carry off the low waisted, low slung pair of "boyfriend" jeans that are so in right now!
• Play with different textures to dimensiolise your figure (think sequins).

Are you All Woman?

• Again...Fit, Fit Fit! Don't wear something too baggy or too tight...cause this will just make you look bigger!
• Yes, black is slimming. But you could always mix it up with some bright and monochromatic outfits to create a lean silhoutte.
• Ensure that your sleeves are not too tight. Bell and flutter sleeves are good, as it skims your arms rather than choke it to death.

Are you a Perfect 10? (Lucky you!)

• Accentuate that tiny waist with belts! Cinch EVERYTHING you wear. :)
• Wear materials that skims your curves. Avoid TWEED and WOOL. It is itchy and scratchy and does nothing for your figure!
• Defined, structured shoulders and pretty necklines enhances your *ehem*...cleavage.

Note: I am only going to show one picture...cause...well...i am biased. :p Anyway, you have a pretty darn perfect body already! No tips needed...:)

Are you Preggers?
A personal interest here, as I do want to be a fashionable mom-to-be!

• Wear bottoms that rise ABOVE your belly, so that it gives that smooth line under your tops (and not choking your poor child).
• Go for basics, but you can always dress up your outfit with a funky necklace (and better still! you can wear it AFTER giving birth!)
• You can always "adapt" non-pregnancy clothes to suit your growing belly. Focus on empire blouses/dresses, cardigans...

And there you have it! Be stylish...and most of all, be confident whatever your body type!

Valiram's Luxury Clearance Sale 10-12 April 2009

when my colleague told me about this sale, i was a bit apprehensive because of the looming hectic weekend.

but when i mentioned it to the husband, he was (surprisingly) quite keen on going! which of course kicked my shopaholism in gear.

it was held at Hotel Istana, Grand Ballroom. The sale itself was separated into 2 sections.

the bigger ballroom was where all the handbags and shoes were, and the watches in another smaller room across the hall.

the main brands were there...coach, asprey, charles & keith, jimmy choo and fendi. however...the promise of 70% didn't exactly apply to MOST stuff. i think MAINLY they were in the regions of 30-50%...but i could be wrong.

so, if you are expecting for handbags to be below RM1k (which i was!)...ermm...you COULD still go for the sale and see if i missed out on anything.

Anyhow...i DID get a pretty good bargain for a pair of Coach flats! original price was RM850...and it was slashed to RM340! which was about 60% off...:)

Note: the shoes HURT LIKE HELL when i wore it to the Curve this evening...i am guessing i just need to "break it in". i hope. but at least it was pretty! :)

and the husband bought me this really adorable heart earrings!!! it even has cute sparkly diamonds at the bottom...*heart*....

so, DO go...just to check it out...you never know! you COULD find something you really want!

p/s: i was really hoping that TOD's will be there. but *sigh*...nopes.

Its soo sad

I can no longer fit into my oh-so-perfect hudson jeans... there is no "love" between us anymore. we have part ways..its a very very sad day.. :(

apologise for the long silence fellow chics. i got back from my new year holidays with so many things to share...like what i bought and the "i wish i could buy" that thing. but immediately after i got back, i fell sick and then one thing after another happened and i find myself with no time (yeah riiiteee) to write in here.

but i will try to update as often as i can..hehehe..
