  • take inspiration (part III) right now!

    This will be our 'Take Inspiration 3 Parts' finale. Having covered on clothes and bags, we proceed to SHOES! I ever heard a wise man quote 'a good pair of shoes makes the journey easier'. Now I totally agree with that wise man, as I almost always cursed and swear when I suffer blisters from wearing a pair of poorly made shoes!

    And there were times when I was immaculately made-up, dressed to the nines and realised I wore a mis-matched pair of shoes out. And commited a fashion faux-pas. How miserable is that? (all these happened when I was in my early twenties) So, after years of cultivating the proper 'shoe etiquette', I look almost decent now and more confident! (fine, I think I can look gorgeous at times, but I have to be humble! ) So I would quote 'a fabulous pair of shoes makes the woman more confident!' Am i wise or not?

    Rights, so let's get down to business babes. These shoes featured here are from famous and prestigious brands, but I do see a few inspirations equally beautiful out somewhere. You just need to head down to Topshop, Zara or River Island in your city to get your hands on those fabulous shoes!

    Flats are the real deal. With so many designs, you wouldn't be wrong. Great for lounging around or off for brunch!

    This little bootie is great to toughen up any frilly lacey dresses.

    And this is my absolute favourite.. Boyish but with a touch of femininity. Hollywood stars are all over it, you should too.

    Pair a slinky LBD with a pair of red pumps. Did I mention the after effect? His eyes will never leave you for a second!

    Summer is almost here! Pair it with a sundress or shorts. (at least in my country, it's almost always summer. Gives us a perfect opportuninty to flaunt our sundress with such cute wedges whenever we want!)

    For sandals, I chose black and gold because black matches many colors in your wardrobe. And gold is absolutely perfect for ladies who want to amp up their off-duty look without compromising.

    Now, I gotta share a little embarrassing secret of mine with you readers. Up til two years ago, I never had a perfect idea of what shoes to wear to clubs. I am always in a dilemma. Do you ever feel so too?  But you can't possibly wear a pair of sneakers with your mini-dress ala Lily Allen right?

    These two pair are so in trend and so easy to go with anything! From sexy dresses to leggings to jeans. Of course there are other alternatives that I may not have covered, you readers are always encourage to leave me comments to let me know what kind of trends you cavort!

    And I recently read that knee-high boots are the rage and here to stay!

     It's a great look if the weather allows, but in a humid country, don't follow this trend blindly.

    Just a word of advice.

  • take inspiration part 2 @ bag me up!

    Honestly, dah-lings, tell me how many bags have you got?

    For some ladies, a multi-purpose bag is enough yet for some, they have 10 different bags for different occasions.

    Now now, I'm not going to educated on what certain bags are named after and so on because I'm a straight to the point person. Let's not waste time and get started already.

    • Clutch bag

    Good for day to night. It looks ultra diva-ish when you are carrying a clutch. Gives off a vibe that you are so collected and cool, you only need a lipstick and credit card to go!

    And if you are quirky and up to it, please get this! (see below)

    tell me, how cute is this clutch?

    • Top Handle bag

    Some say they look like Louis Vuitton inspired. I say 'whatever' as long as they have good quality and looks fantastic! Even Zara, MANGO, GUESS and TopShop get inspiration from couture brands!!!

    You can dress up or down to anywhere and still manage to look stylish with a top-handle bag. Be it you bought it from Vuitton or MANGO. (I'm currently lusting after this top handle bag from TopShop, a pity I didn't managed to find a picture of it!)

    • Everyday handbags

    Normally, this everyday handbag should be able to put in at least a folder (A4-sized). As the subtitle suggests, it is a daily carry all bag that you will tote to work, shopping and even last-minute drinking/clubbing session!

    You wouldn't want to get caught in an ugly situation where you are carrying a normal (re:hideous) work bag!! (horrors!)

    Therefore, just get some inspirations from here to get the 'wonder' bag!

    So ladies, I hope that all my hardwork can help you out in a certain way. And if you have any comments please feel free to leave a comment or email me at ek210509@yahoo.com!

    Part 3 will be coming up soon. It will focus on shoes and hopefully I can touch on head accessories as well. Stay tune!

    take inspiration from her part I~

    be it you are tall, not so tall, slim, curvaceous, skinny, caucasian or asian(or any other ethnics), all of you deserved to look fantastic.

    BUT, sometimes we can be a little lost. Like what to wear to a dinner function? What to wear to garden party? What to wear on FIRST DATES??!! Also, because of the economy, you wouldn't want to run out to buy a $500 dress just to wear to that dinner function right? Alas, help has descended here. With a three part entries, we will give you some guidelines.

    So,here's some inspiration for you girls.

    1120-kate-moss_li

    Throw on a padded jacket! Be it that you got it from your mother or you bought it at Mango. Throw it over a dress you got 2 years back. And if you want to get creative, go ahead and sew some sequinns!

    And girls, it's time to update that blazer look. Many of us are not buttoning up as it WAS the look of 2009. But in 2010, the boyfriend jacket is still here to stay, so at least button it up.

    With this trenchcoat here, it instantly toughen up an otherwise feminine look. And that cute socks Alexa Chung is wearing makes her look pretty schoolgirl. You can try it if your pins are slim enough. (just an advice ) That striped blouse is also to die for. Very nautical cum Chanel. And I found one in Topshop which sells at a fraction of price as compared to Chanel.

    Of course, do remember that the most essential in your wardrobe is your bag/clutch/purse. We will be touching on that very soon. Stay tune!
