Shop this season promotion….fashionably

December 17th 2011

The rush is in. The sale season is on and like every year it’s about to get hectic. Therefore, must be wise when it comes to pre Christmas shopping. All the big signs for sale are up and everyone mindset is ‘Get everything on sale’

Before getting all silly and all in with many impulse purchases, I made myself some tips:

1. Get some of the must have, ‘bling bling’ glitter for many parties one must go to, I also try to grab all the black basic, strong quality pieces that will last way past the sale and winter season. Having a wishlist throughout the year help even if you end up not buying them then, who knows it might be on the SALE rack. Sale is a good time to get all the basics as well such as black pants, stable heels and even a bit serious handbag.

So I made a sort of checklist with all the item, this would help to stay on track when shopping in case I sway away from seeing other tempting items.

The list has all the items for 50% or more off. Brands range from Mango to Jimmy Choo each item below 100$USD and not over 200$USD. I’ll save a bunch and will have items that last for a while, and dont look like a fool at parties.

2. Thinking ahead and almost be a true fashionista by a bit of research. Spring/Summer 2012 is actually out, all the runway have stopped and the big fashion names are already starting to produce the next season collection. Look at the trend of 2012, go to Elle, Vogue and identify some similar items in the sale. This winter safari is huge and some of that still reflect into the next season, strong graphic and vibrant colours. Wont go wrong. So here is my springboard before heading out to the shop and fighting for your outfit. Again.

All the above products are 70% on sales. Not much for spring but some useable pieces. Hello credit card and instant noodles for the entire month beginning 2012

A few more ‘fashion’ memory of the year – @MIFA

December 15th 2011

Notice on the guy who wears glasses and in the singlet, skinny, he’s powerful. He directs all the models and ordering them around. Super friendly at the same time and works his ass off. Kudos!

This girl has an odd look. And her designer, after all Malaysia is still a pretty conservative nation and there’s women in veil. Made beautifully though.

Models looking pretty in strong colours. And here, blur is the local designers. Her collection is pretty ‘in trend’ colour blocking. :-0

Below is a fellow designer, very young from Thailand.

Activities backstage: unwrapping heels, ironing the clothes, fixing up the models, listening to music, many more….

MC is getting ready.

While things are hectic, designer and friend also look a bit….confused.

Er…someone please give me a fan, it’s too hot here hellooooo

NTK Nhat Minh collection at MIFA fall 2011

December 15th 2011

There’s always a relaxed and calm look and vibe around Minh. This collection winter/autumn collection showcase at MIFW by MIFA and sponsored by YODA is a mixed of his latest creation and collaboration with Elle Vietnam.

Clothes on rack, ready to rock back stage and front!

Knitted jumper with cute wool decorated circles, detailed ethnic neck piece. First piece out of the collection. For this to wear, you might need to have a broader shoulder to pull this off nicely. In contrast this below piece is very good to wear, super cute even on a person like meself. The necklace is also great.

Below: wool skirt wont be boring with those details esp when you pair and tone down the balance of a thick surface with a soft feminine shirt and cute buttons. Good for Saigon weather right now.

And here is my favourite winnter item from Nhat Minh a must have for me. I have of course already reserved it for myself. I would personally take of the belt and the length plus those adorable cute circle wool fit well with the colour and the spirit. This is great fun to wear if you dare to walk the street in December in them. Or simply turn your office aircon right down low to get the feel of cold. Boots will be great with them.

And that was the kinda of stop of those thick pieces Nhat Minh put out and move into something very feminine and soft but also very warm, the colour of reddish for winter. The skirt pattern and material is of famous style we called tho cam in Vietnam, inspired by the ethnic communities in the northern mountain. To bring that look into the urban, team with the vibrant coloured top. Notice that again, Minh played with the button concept and the material of the top fit well, actually hug the upper half of the body rather tight. I also love the necklace.

A few further look that got the same style, long length see-through skirt that just flow well.

I wish I could walk out of the run way with this below look. The dress is super slim, tight fitted and gives the glam look and that strong neck piece. The red lip also work. Can totally see this as a red carpet outfit. Bravo Minh.
