Current Obsession: Maxi Dresses

My style is usually something short and comfortable. Since Singapore is so hot, I hate to wear jeans or anything too cumbersome. Also, since I'm petite, I always thought that long dresses would look terrible on me. I also prefer cute short dresses that either show off a beach summer look, or a glamorous look depending on the colour and fabrics.

So I'm still a little slow on the uptake, but my current obsessions are over maxi dresses. Celebrities like Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton wear them often as they embrace the boho style, but I felt that they make them look shorter and frumpy. And that is definitely not a flattering look at all.

I always thought that maxi dresses would suit only the long and leggy girls, like Megan Fox. She always looks great in long satin dresses at movie premieres.

See?

Since I am neither, I felt that it was useless to bother with long skirts and go for short and knee-length dresses.

Hayden Panettiere proves me wrong while she's walking dogs in style.I love the bright bold colour of this dress.

She also wears a great watercolour silk gown at the Teen's Choice Awards 2008. The colour really plays off her skin and she offsets the dress with minimal accessories. I used to think that the non-figure-hugging fabric in front of your chest would make you look fat, but this is clearly not true.

I love following Eva Longoria's fashion trends since I'm almost the same height as her. It's because of her that I've been able to branch out on my style and sense of fashion. Here, she wears the same dress by Juicy Couture as Jessica Simpson, and both look great.

Ashley Tisdale in a printed dress and black belt. I love the monochromatic look, though I would finish with colored heels or wedges.

Ahh, Emma Watson. I always follow what she's wearing and what makeup she uses, but I never do attempt them myself, because I feel that I won't be able to pull off whatever she can. Twiggy short hair? Red Lancome lipstick and smoky eyes? The cute androgynous look? Perhaps one day. But here, she looks gorgeous in these two dresses .

  1. are you sure megan fox is tall and miles long leged? she is only 163 cm.(proven with my own eyes.) she is really not that tall she is tiny so its just illusion just like the other girls here look taller :)

Intro Post

Despite the name, this blog is not about carousels or couture (although you never know, that might change?). Nobody likes to spend money on something, only to discover that it does not deliver what it has promised. I sure don't. So I start this blog with the hopes that perhaps it'll help someone find their holy grail. And maybe, I'll find my own on the way too. Expect to find beauty and skincare reviews, book reviews, movie reviews, and current obsessions. Oh, and a little couture here and there too.

Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour 499 Dark Cherry review

TDLR Review:  I would not recommend this hair colour product at all, because the shade turned out nothing like the box. Also it is difficult to wash off.  NOTE: I have dark Asian hair, which might be the reason why it's not suitable for this product. So I'm back with another hair dye review! I've raved about the Liese hair dyes before ( Cassis Berry , Sweet Apricot , Antique Rose ), because those are super easy to use (I've appreciated that even more after finding out how difficult some at-home hair dye kits can be to apply). But I got suckered into getting a box of Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour hair dye, because the models on Schwarzkopf hair dye boxes always have gorgeous shades of hair! I've used Schwarzkopf before, I've bought the Palette in Magical Blue Black (no review, only a haul). But I was disappointed with it, because there was only a faint sheen of blue, and the black faded from my hair quite quickly. The trouble with Schwarzkopf also is

Old Town White Coffee Ipoh Hor Fun review

  Who doesn't like Old Town White Coffee? It's so nostalgic, from the furniture they have to the food they serve. It's really like a throwback to the simpler times in Singapore. According to Wikipedia, Old Town White Coffee is the largest kopitiam restaurant chain in Malaysia and has over 180 outlets in the region. Can you believe that? I love their kaya toast and of course, their Ipoh Hor Fun. Why go to Penang when you can just enjoy the Hor Fun here? Normally I get those Ipoh Hor Fun that is served in rich gravy, with not much soup. But this one is served in a clear broth, which is perfect for a light meal that is also filling. At the end of it, you won't feel too full or bloated like if you had something richer. The kway teow is served with generous helpings of prawns and chicken shreds every time I go there (my favourite outlet is Playground at East Coast Park, the area that used to be Big Splash. There are 8 outlets in Singapore at the moment, and they ar
