Who doesnt love the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show? After Miss Universe 2011, it’s another showcase of the world’s most beautiful women, taut bodies and sexy lingerie. The annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is happening this year November 29th (US timing)!

Given that it’s a gathering of the most heavenly figures, the name Victoria Secret Angels is a well-thought out one. On the runway, they always look beautiful and seem to be walking on air. There’s just something in their movements that’s fluid. I dont think it’s anything to do with those wings (although I do wish I had some myself).

It’s a little secret we call the wind in your hair effect.

When you’ve got the wind in your hair, you look like you’re walking on well, air. Walking with wind in your hair, you look lighter and feel like your floating. Of course, the reason why models and beauty queen loves it so much, is the dramatic effect it gives.

But when you’re off-stage and cant afford to carry a personal fan around the whole time, how do you get the wind in your hair look. Here’s a how-to hair styling video tutorial on how to capture the wind in your hair for a touch of lift at the roots.

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.

Styled by Robert Rydberg and photographed by Daniel Jackson, the photos are the epitome of a saccharine Spring. Full of soft, flowy fabrics printed with florals, these fresh and flirty fabrics are perfect for our humid weather. Get here in Singapore already H&M!

Other than Sephora, Victoria’s Secret was the other store that I was dying to step into here in New York. I’m a BIG die hard fan of Victoria’s Secret and my underwear closet is pretty much made up of all their stuff. I also refuse to wear any other work pants other than theirs thanks to the great length and cut of their pants. And it’s such perfect timing that Michelle and I are here in the States because it’s time for the VICTORIA’S SECRET SEMI ANNUAL SALE!

Now, THIS is the sale that most girls would die for. Panties go for USD$3.99 while bras are reduced by almost half price. Everything on sale is put into pink bins only differentiated by their sizes, and girls dig through it pulling out items like hungry vultures.

Because it’s a Monday afternoon, this crowd is mild compared to the one we first encountered on a weekend.

In fact, all the shelves are neatly packed and nothing is strewn on the floor. Haha.

After my virgin experience digging through the buckets of adorable underwear and bras and discovering treasures, it was hard not to walk out of there feeling like a million bucks. The red/pink bags are absolutely cute too! It’s probably hard for guys to wrap their minds around how much money women will spend on inner wear that no one else can see, but I say a cute underwear and good bra will serve to keep your spirits up in all situations.

Lingerie is not all that Victoria’s Secret stocks. Beauty products also make up a good part of their product range. The Secret Garden collection is one of their more famous ranges, and they too were on sale! I got mini bottles of fragranced hand sanitizers from the Secret Garden range, some lip glosses, lip palettes and body mists from the Dream Angels collection alongside some really cute undies which I obviously will not show. :P

Even though I am such a big fan of VS, I only just found out they have a standalone Victoria’s Secret PINK store that caters specially to their PINK range! This particular range targets younger girls with their collegiate collection in vibrant colours. Graphic tees, hoodies, underwear and lounge wear emblazoned with the signature PINK logos can all be found in this range.

PINK by Victoria’s Secret is located at the junction of Broadway and Prince Street.

Victoria’s Secret stores, on the other hand, are located at:
Broadway (SOHO)
591-593 Broadway
New York, NY 10012

Fifth Avenue
115 5th Ave
New York, NY 10003

South Street Seaport
19 Fulton Street
New York, NY 10038

Victoria’s Secret is possibly the ONE brand that every girl knows. For sure, it’s probably the only lingerie brand that every male species on the planet has heard of. Haha. But not only does Victoria’s Secret do lingerie, they have clothes too. I swear by their pants! That’s, however, totally besides the point. Haha. Well, my fellow Singaporean guys and girls, if you’ve never been able to get your hands on anything VS, it’s time to rejoice, because Victoria’s Secret now has a branch open in Resorts World Sentosa right here in Singapore.

When my girls Sandra and Adie came down to visit me 2 weeks ago, Resorts World Singapore was one of the few places that I HAD to bring them to. It was also my virgin venture there with them.


With my Miss Earth girls, Sandra and Adie

Entering Resorts World, we walked the long hallways of luxury brands. The ceilings were high, the corridors were wide. People were milling about with their cameras, taking in the atmosphere. Everything was so shiny, sparkly, spacious and super. But I really was there for ONE thing, and one thing only.

When I finally spotted the familiar pink and black sign with the ceiling down poster of one their sexy Angels, I knew I was home. Unlike the casino that you have to pay $100 to enter, stepping into this lingerie heaven is completely free. How much you spend in here is entirely up to you. Your losses may be recuperated in the bedroom but that’s not a guarantee given the size of the store.

The lingerie collection doesn’t exactly live up to the Victora’s Secret image we all have in our heads. The reaaalllyyy sexy stuff probably got confiscated along the way here on the grounds that it might distract pilots flying the aircraft. I found myself wondering where all the frilly, lacy thongs I’m so used to browsing online were.

What the store does boast though, is a lovely collection of their Beauty Rush makeup and fragrances. I can now stock up on my favourite Amber Rose Victoria’s Secret Garden Collection body mists and eau de toilettes direct from here! Stuff I used to only be able to get if someone returned from overseas. Apart from these, comfortable sleepwear and cute underwear from the VS PINK collection also make up the bulk of items in this Resorts World outlet.

The prices of the clothing were a little too steep for my liking. As much as I loved the adorable tanks with their signature logos and cheeky taglines, paying $60 for a cotton tank top just wasn’t my thing.

I did, however, hover over the gorgeous accessory counter for the longest time. I was mostly interested in this gold bag charm with cursive VS letters dangling off it. Too pretty to ignore, but a bit too pricey to buy. As a present though, I’d definitely buy it for Christmas alongside the Beauty Rush lipgloss. If however, this Resorts World outlet is gonna be the first of many VS stores here in Singapore, I’d definitely hope they bring in more of the other yummy goodies we all know and love Victoria’s Secret for.
