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 .

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...

Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall Shampoo review

After the review on the Himalaya Herbals Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo , I realized that I hadn't done a review on the Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall Shampoo, that I got and finished some time ago. As I mentioned in the last post, I was worried about the amount of hair fall I've been experiencing, and some thinning area around my fringe. So I've been taking a close look at the anti-hair fall shampoos that are available in the market. I got the Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall Shampoo in a travel size. I also got the Clear Women Dry Scalp and Itch Control Shampoo too. Considering that Clear has launched a new formula, I wanted to make sure I liked it before I purchased a retail size version. Also, a travel size sure makes it easy to tog along to the gym whenever I feel like it. Clear is quite a famous haircare brand.They've sponsored Lotus Renault in F1 2012, which boasts Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean as their drivers. Bet Kimi's never had dandruff before! An...

Did you fall in love with the Heart Bag trend?

 When Chanel launched their Spring/Summer 2022 collection, fashionistas definitely took a second (and third and fourth!) look at the heart shaped bags that models carried down the runway . The Heart Bags featured quilted lambskin leather and came in Coral Pink, White and Black. The smaller Heart Clutch with Chain bags also featured quilted lambskin leather and came in Purple, White and Black (the purple is my favourite!). Now that the bags have launched in stores, we're seeing them on the streets and on YouTube videos. Of course, heart-shaped bags aren't a new phenomenon. Every so often, we'll see a new reiteration from designers who put their own twist and unique direction. Let's check out some of these heart-shaped bags. VINTAGE CHANEL In fact, Chanel first launched heart-shaped bags in quilted patent leather back in the 1990s. The now-vintage bags had a chainlink top handle and came in black, beige and pink. KAT...
