Jipaban

The first time I shot with Jipaban was last December for their December Editor’s Pick. It was a special shoot because it was a Power Blogger Editor’s Pick and we had special guests from Parenting blog OurEverydayThings on set at the shoot! Mommy Leonny came with her three little darlings in tow.

Baby Brie is a sweetheart. We had so much fun playing with her because she is such a well-behaved and darling girl. Not only was Mommy Leonny featured in December’s Editor’s Pick. Baby Brie was photographed alongside her two other elder siblings in the Jipaban Gift pick! It was a shoot full of laughs and smiles because they are all naturals in front of the camera.

For the women’s section, Mommy Leonny and I were featured in various outfits! And we had access to all of Jipaban’s awesome accessories and clothes because we shot in their warehouse. Everyone loves to be surrounded by gorgeous loads of clothes, shoes, bags and accessories!

And now less than a month later, I’m featured on their Chinese New Year banner too!

Jipaban Chinese New Year

The shoot for the Chinese New Year lookbook happened over last weekend. It was again one full of shoes, bags, accessories and lovely new clothes for the upcoming Chinese New Year festivities. Although it was a long shoot, I had sooo much fun shooting with new models: beautiful Sam, the face of Jipaban Clara and a guy model, James!

We shot on location at a house that was all perfectly set up for Chinese New Year. Because you can see the full lookbook on the Jipaban website here, I’m going to show you some of my favourite unreleased shots with Sam! We spent so much time together at the shoot together, she almost feels like a sister to me now. I posted a photo of us together and some people commented that we even looked alike!

Olay Project 360

The final episode of Olay Project 360 is going to air next week! Yay! But before I share with you the highlights of the fun-filled night of the Olay pampering session and give you the link for the last episode of the challenge, you’ll have to watch episode 5 of the Olay Project 360 where the girls and I underwent one of the challenges which could only be described as a dream. If you’ve already watched it, watch it again to refresh your memory.

When 8 girls are unleashed into the warehouse of Love Bonito and get free reign over their clothes and accessories, there’s nothing but fun chaos! Haha! But we had specific tips to keep in mind for this challenge and there was no better person to give out advice but fashion expert Viola, co-founder of Love Bonito.

Watch the video and see which outfit you thought brought out the luminance of our skin best. I loved my outfit sooo much and wish I could have taken it home!

A girl can never have too many bling. As with my make up products, I get into obsessions with certain accessories and for the longest time it’s been rings. Big, bold, beautiful rings. Of course not forgetting bling!

Ring Haul

Colourful butterfly ring: Forever 21
Oval silver ring: NYC
Single wing ring: Hong Kong
Double star ring: Forever 21
Rosette ring: Mini Bits

But specifically, my obsession has been with knuckle duster rings. I love how they effortlessly decorate more than just a finger on your hand. With one ring, you’ve practically dressed up your arm. And yes, the bigger the better. The bling-er the best.

Unfortunately, I havent seen too many of these delicious knuckle duster arm candies here on our local shores, but I could really just be looking in all the wrong places. So when I saw a whole bunch of them at Forever 21, I had to stop myself from buying the whole shelf.

Knucle Duster Ring Haul

Flower cluster knuckle duster ring: Forever 21
Leopard knuckle duster ring: River Island
Gecko knuckle duster ring: Forever 21
Four star knuckle duster ring: Forever 21

How is it possible not to be stunned by this Brazilian beauty? Gisele Bundchen, the occasional film actress is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme but is best known for her time on the runway as a Victoria’s Secret Angel.

A natural in front of the camera, it thus comes as no surprise to see her looking so relaxed and elegantly beautiful as the face of the latest H&M’s Spring 2011 Bohemian Deluxe campaign.

When I was younger, I remember sneaking into mom’s closet to try on her dresses, shoes and then swiping a couple of her prettiest jewelry before parading in front of the mirror. Even now, I sometimes borrow her chunky vintage jewelry because going through her stash opens up more options for me. Admit it, who hasnt once borrowed a sister’s or friend’s outfit because you needed it. It’s always fun to play dress up, even more fun when the outfits arent yours. Your fashion options are limitless when you have another wardrobe to look through.

Dress Collection

So when the wardrobe you pick from consists of an amazingly wide variety of well known international designer evening wear labels like Jovani and Faviana, you can rest assured any outfit you pick will be incredibly stunning. On top of that, there is no worry about someone else donning the exact same outfit at your event because of the closet’s exclusivity! After you pick your outfit, selecting accessories to match and complete your outfit can seem like a daunting task. Here’s me fretting over what jewelry and bag to get to bring out this best of this outfit. Lol.

Dress Sense

Well, bag all your dress up worries and shelve them because with personalised service and a wide array of evening and cocktail dresses, evening bags and jewelry, Dress Sense is set to fulfill all your fashion fantasies through it’s revolutionary buy or rent concept.

The buy or rent concept is truly ingenious. Like any retail store, you can always opt to buy any of the items you see on the shelves. Brand new items go for the full retail price while the sale prices of rented out items will automatically be marked down. If you’re buying a pre-loved piece, you know you’ll get a great deal for an excellent dress!

Now here comes the fun part with renting. If you think bleeding your wallet dry buying a to-die-for dress that you’ll only ever wear once doesnt make economical sense, then rent and borrow it! Rental prices of outfits are a fraction of the original sale price, and because you rent an outfit for something way less than the original buy price, that gives you the option of wearing a different outfit to every single event. This unique, guilt free shopping concept ensures you can rent a brand new outfit, complete with jewelry and evening bags, without busting the bank every single time. Thanks to Dress Sense‘s huge collection of cocktail and evening gowns, wearing that ONE little black dress to all your events is a thing of the past.

I’ve had the opportunity to go down to Dress Sense‘s boutique at Raffles City, #03-29A to rent dresses on two separate occasions, both for photoshoots. I swear, picking one dress out of the so many stunning ones was difficult, and I had to change in and out of at least 5 dresses I grabbed from the racks. Haha. But for the first shoot, I eventually settled on Faviana’s Greek goddess inspired gold dress that Jennifer Lopez had previously worn. Talk about invoking Hollywood glamour right here in Singapore!

Dress Sense Gold Dress

The owners took great pains to lovingly source and import trendy, wearable designer gowns that cater to girls of all shapes and sizes, of all whims and fantasies. For whatever occasion you might need to dress up and impress, Dress Sense will make you look like a princess and feel like a queen. With attentive staff and everything you need to get a complete outfit under one roof, I always feel as though it’s a private shopping experience each time I step into the store.

Dress Sense Ambassador Group

Having then been a previous customer of Dress Sense, I was honoured when they nominated me as one of the contestants for their Blog Ambassador Search. Starting 12th January up until 18th February, there will be a voting contest among the three ambassador nominees on the Dress Sense Facebook page.

It’s time to bring out your best dresses because it’s party time! Other than laying my hands on all the new make up, the best thing I find about the end of the year is the parties you get to attend. With parties come the perfect excuse to get dressed up to the nines. So go on, pull out your most glamourous dress, deck yourself out in your most brilliant make up and you’re all set to paint the town red.

The only problem I find with having so many parties to attend is repetition of clothes. You definitely dont want to be stuck with the same outfits for all your events. At the same time, blowing the month’s budget is definitely out of the question. So what do you do? Well, I turn to the shop that manufactures its own quality clothes inspired by designer fashion houses at a fraction of the actual price.

Fashion moguls would agree that the little black dress is one of the fashion staples. Without a doubt, monoxious would agree wholeheartledly on the choice of colour too. Thus, this Armani Exchange inspired dress with a cross front is a stunning piece to get if you dont already have a little black dress to turn to.

For SGD 29, this body contouring and sillhouette defining dress is set to be your best go-to dress for any occasion. In fact, it was set in the style of Victoria Beckham and I naturally had to take a photo with the Miss Earth girls from UK while wearing it. Haha.

If your days are filled with high teas and shopping sprees, AngelicoBeBe’s full length jumpsuit is my new favourite thing to wear. Soft to the touch and comfortable to live in, this ASOS’s inspired Open Back Jumpsuit is of super quality because it’s self-manufactured.

ASOS Inspired Jumpsuit

Married with a gathered waist and plunging v-neckline flowing seamlessly to a pair of straight cut pants, the cutting at the back gives an illusion of a slim and defined waist and in my opinion, shows just the right amount of skin. The full-length jumpsuit fits perfectly and gives you a slim and long silhouette. Instead of paying close to £ 70 for the original, AngelicoBeBe’s lovingly manufactured one goes for a mere SGD 34. Much too little to pay for quality like this.

Little Black Dress

If I’m getting ready for a night out on the town with my girls, I pick AngelicoBeBe’s self-manufactured little black dress with corset detail. Inspired by Guess and Victoria’s Secret, this sexy little number is the perfect outfit for a first date or a night of letting your hair loose in a club. Steal this look for SGD 28 from their website or get the dress in 2 colours for SGD 52!

I’m not entirely big about designer clothing because I am a beauty blogger. But when stylish designer fashion clothing is brought to you and made easily available at such affordable prices, online shopping is much too tempting! I’ll say it definitely pays to look good and AngelicoBeBe can help you achieve that with their original, self-manufactured items. Because they offer quality stunning pieces at reasonable prices, it’s no wonder that their items are always disappear in an instant!

This December, AngelicoBeBe is giving away a Coach wristlet to help complete your outfit. Every dress you buy entitles you one chance to win and you definitely want to get as many chances as you can before the lucky draw ends on the 31st December. So, to get your hands on their fabulous clothing for your next Christmas party AND land yourself a brand new Coach wristlet, head on down to their AngelicoBeBe’s store and happy shopping!
