Abercrombie & Fitch is the brand hunks, jocks, surfer dudes (and whichever good looking group of people you can think of) are synonymous with. The models on the posters are sexy, gorgeous looking and all have chiselled bodies. But that’s just an ad right? Or so I thought too. Walking along Fifth Avenue the other day, I spotted the store next to high end label Prada. I have NEVER been to an actual A&F store and had no idea what was in store.

This 4 storey store looked decent on the outside, but little did I know it held exciting and yummylicious things on the inside.

Step through the front doors and a half naked dude is the first thing that greets you. Oh hello. Sorry, you say there was a girl? Oh yes! According to my pictures, there was a girl. And she’s actually pretty cute. But I’m not exactly interested in girls. Let’s get back to the guy. He’s half naked. And has a good body to match that nakedness. Even the two “bouncers” are pretty delish. Mmm….

The interior of the shop is dark akin to a club, and the music is bound to set some heads nodding and feet tapping. You browse the wide range of adorable clothes and browse the good-looking boys, sadly wishing it was them you’d cart home. Alas, the store is where the boys will stay and it’s the plush clothing that you take home.

It is a little hard to want to leave this haven full of delicious goodies thanks to its seductive atmosphere; I swear the boys have nothing to do with it. I wish we could show you photos of what it was like to be inside the shop. But, one, they didnt allow photography inside. Two, it was hard to take any photos because Michelle and I were both busy gawking. How is it possible they managed to find so many good-looking people all housed in the SAME building?! Even the dressing rooms were incredibly sexy. Soft orange lighting and music playing, it was hard not to want to cam-whore inside.

Tank tops go for about USD24 while bottoms, both jeans and skirts, start from USD50 and go anywhere up to USD70. Pretty pricey if you ask me. But everything about this store is delectable and I walked out of there with two skirts. They were too cute! Yes yes, I was so busy shopping that I missed Sneaker Sunday this week. But Violet and I are planning to do something exciting next week once I get back.

So anyway, back to my shopping. I bought one skirt from Abercrombie exactly like that of the girl in the group photo. If I wore the exact same getup as her, do you think I could fit in and get a job there? Hahaha.

I’m no fashion blogger, but if my memory serves me well, a whole host of fashion shows are coming up. I am thus assuming fashion week is around the corner here in Singapore (correct me fashion bloggers if I am wrong). The shows by various companies have already started happening and I was lucky enough to be invited to attend some of these prestigious invite-only shows. The one by Bimba & Lola at ION Orchard was the most recent on my plate.

My companions for the night were the lovely Raine, Elise and a not-so-mysterious photographer responsible for these brilliant shots.

I didn’t have to lust over the lovely clothes showcased that much because I personally got to select and keep an outfit from the kind folks of Bimba & Lola. The off-white jacket with gold metal details was the first thing I picked out when I walked into the shop.

As I always say, it had my name all over it. Once I set my eyes on it, I knew I HAD to make it mine. Truly, this is what they call love at first sight. Sometimes, you don’t need to find an outfit, it just finds you. We were meant to be.

HELLO THERE! COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES!

I’m writing this post from my girl Sandra’s laptop because I love you all so much and know you love reading about Sneaker Sunday as much as I love writing about it. I had to do this post here this week because I got my very awesome pair of Ed Hardy pink high cut ones right here in the Philippines. Thus, being back here this week, I just had to pay tribute to them in the “motherland” because those sneakers are teh winz! Unfortunately, I won’t be showcasing them this week. You’ll have to stayed tuned to see them in the new few posts. :D

This week, Violet and I have decided to give some coordination tips on how to wear your sneakers and your flats.

I decided to cover the sneaker side of things because I’m definitely more of a sneaker girl. As a testament to my love for sneakers, I actually have more sneakers than I do pretty pumps. Oh yes, I was such a tomboy (and actually still am). Haha. The current score stands 5 sneakers to 2 pumps. Kitten heels dont count as pumps right?

For this post, I will show you some of my favourite types of sneakers and suggest ideas on how to wear them other than only pairing it with your usual jeans.

This pair of ADIDAS HIGHRISE SNEAKERS for their new Spring 2010 collection practically has my name on it. I LOVE HIGH CUT SNEAKERS! Don’t you agree they look so comfy? If I had them, I’d wear them with short shorts, a baggy off-shoulder top and layer lotsa chains over it. Definitely aiming for more of a street style with this pair of shoes. I wanna look like I could kick someone’s butt in these shoes. Hahaha.

Now this pair of BAPE GINGHAM HIGHCUT would look totally cute with either a preppy dress or pleated skirt and sweater combination. The print itself is so adorable. Think Gossip Girl: white shirt, loosely undone necktie, pleated skirt and hairband if you wish, with the above. It’s preppy with an attitude. Tres tres chic.

How cute are these SKECHERS WOMEN’S ZEPHYR shoes. I’ve got a pair similar to these from some random shoe shop in KL a while ago and I love how cute they are. They remind me a little of skater shoes and because the front is round, it always makes your feet look cute. Hee hee. I wear them with a flared denim skirt and fitted top with long billowing sleeves. I like how this pair of shoes have a little bit of feminine elegance in them yet are still spunky.

There you go boys and girls, 3 different types of sneakers I would love to own and some ideas on how you can wear them. But I’ve only covered the sneaker side of it. Violet has some ideas in her post on how you can match cute flats for all sorts of occasions, so make sure you also check that out.

Sneaker Sunday last week was very well-received and I have to thank you guys for your awesome support! If you haven’t caught onto the hype, have a look see at last week’s post to see what all the fuss is about. But don’t just sit behind your screen and look. Send me your photos! We want to see more of them in the Gallery! :D

OHAI there!

How was your Chinese New Year? Mine was pretty good. We had our reunion dinner the eve of Chinese New Year as per tradition. Then the first day consisted of the usual visiting and getting all excited about dressing up. Okay, my priorities seem a little messed up. Haha. It’s as though I get more excited about the dressing up and going out rather than seeing my relatives. Lol.

But anyhoo, that’s the besides the point. Because it’s Chinese tradition to adorn ourselves in new clothing each new year, the blog has also undergone some changes!

If you havent noticed the change, I really suggest seeing an eye doctor.

Fret not. While the changes are on-going, the usual posting will not be disrupted. The pink skin is probably temporary until I find a better outfit for the blog. Shopping for the perfect outfit always takes time.

If you have suggestions about what changes you will like to see made on the blog, please do drop me a comment. I would love to hear from you!

In the meantime, here’s my outfit from the first day of visiting.

Outfit breakdown

Orange/red tunic top with layered necklace print – Nichii
Rocket Skinny Leg Jeans – Guess Jeans
Balmain lookalike booties – New Look

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

I love my blazers and jackets. In fact, I love layering. It adds instant pizazz and smartens any outfit in an instant! Of course not to mention it helps keeps us warm during these cold times. It’s never really been so cold here in Singapore. But who cares! Now that temperatures seem to have dipped, it’s a great excuse to put on that extra layer. In normal circumstances, you’d have to deal with the layer of perspiration that would form under all that layering. Heh.

Because I got all dressed up and had no where to go after Nuffnang’s exclusive screening of Couples Retreat on Friday, I decided to make good use of my outfit and post it up here. Haha.

I’m so loving this new pair of shoes that I got from Manila.

Outfit breakdown
Blazer: Hula&Co
Green tank top: Old Navy
High-waisted shorts: Cutesy Girl
Shoes: So Fab!
Accessories: Taiwan Shilin Night Market
