Holiday Glam Look and a Happy New Year 2013 to All!

You've seen a preview of what I wore during my company Christmas Party in one of my previous posts - Black & White Soiree and Firmoo Eyewear Voucher Giveaway Winners! Now I want to showcase the look that one of my colleagues and friend has worn. I believe she should've won our Best Dressed Award for that night if it was taken seriously hehehe. I went around with her to shop for our stuffs (though mine, I mostly dug online hehehe) and I'm happy to see how it turned out. Woot!

Wendy, Erelyn, Sharon, and me
in my Apartment 8 Clothing

Today, I'll feature Erelyn's Outfit and how we came up with it. She definitely looked very sexy and absolutely awesome! While there were many others who have worn black that night, she was stunning and most gorgeous I must say! Haha! Without bias my dears! She combined the very essentials for a great party look - velvet dress, sheer, some skin, gold accent, fabulous hair and make up! The perfect formula! So even if the night was filled with peplum, sheer, and other trends, she definitely stood out.!

Ain't she lovely lovely too? I'll share my outfit post soon though as I promised! For now, I'll share with you this outfit set for Erelyn. It was definitely fun as we played stylists along the way as we came up with this haha. We're not really stylist though but just girls havin' fun! :p

My Birthday and Holiday Wishlists ... Happy Holidays!

It's been a few days already since my birthday yet I can't get over it! LOL. My birthday since last year has been overflowing with blessings and extended 'til the holiday seasons in December 'til January. I really can't thank God enough for all the wonderful blessings and gifts I received.

I normally joke with my friends and colleagues about my birthday celebration and that it'll be held at my company's Christmas Party celebration. LOL. Our party was held at a hotel garden tent and the stories should be reserved at a different post hehehe. For now, I wanted to share with you a few items I wish to get. They'll be in my wishlist for sure so whether I get them as gifts or I got them for myself, that'd be perfect! Woot!

So before I continue with this post ... have you joined my giveaway yet? *wink*

Skin Food Peach Sake Pore BB Cream SPF20 PA+

Allow me to share with you another great product I've been using. You all know I'm a lover of Etude House but I also try out other products that I know are good and this one's a trusted product.I've used it even before I discovered Etude House so I can say this is pretty good.

This product I'm sharing with you is called Peach Sake Pore BB Cream with SPF20 PA+ from Skin Food. The product promises a pore-refining BB cream that regulates sebum secretion while creating a flawless and matte complexion without feeling greasy. I've been using it for quite some time .. actually, probably for a year or two before I started using Etude House products. Not that I really stopped using it though; I still use it for time to time. It's pretty good and I love its smell.

What I also like about this product is it's smell. Although I prefer non-scented products for my face (because as per dermatologists' advise to me, I have sensitive skin - so no scented products!); this one seems gentle enough and the sweet smell is hard to resist!

So before I post more about this  ... have you joined my giveaway yet? *wink*

Black & White Soiree and Firmoo Eyewear Voucher Giveaway Winners!

Last December 16, our company celebrated our annual Year-End / Christmas Party dubbed as "Black & White Soiree." I have to make this quick post in the middle of my queued / auto-posted blog entries just to make sure I announce my giveaway winners too! *wink* And while we were all left with a fashion dilemma of limited choices for our company party because of the color, we decided to play around with the materials / fabric of our outfit and accessories. Call me "OC" (read: obsessive compulsive!) on things but yeah, me and my colleagues are really OC when it comes to our party dresses!

in Apartment 8 Clothing

Not to the point that I really carefully plan each and every item duh~ I guess I'd go crazy haha! But at least, at one point or another, I consider the style that goes with it. And I believe, Style is more important than the outfit itself. Agree?

It was just a week before the party when I accompanied a few of my friends to shop for their clothes, shoes, and accessories. Of course, all fab and pretty! I started looking at stuff for myself too but hmmm, I didn't want to spend that much ... and then I remember I had this outfit from Apartment 8 Clothing that I'm waiting for to shoot - a work outfit awaiting photo opportunity hehe. Unfortunately, it was too short. Yeah ... I was inspired by Tricia Gosingtian and her outfit looks ... uhmm, rather normal. To me, it was too-snug! Ehem ... the chubby girl in me thought ... well, this can be a party dress instead and voila!!! The right opportunity came with the right theme, at the right time! Woohoo! So this one definitely did not get wasted! Woohooo!

Ain't the dress lovely? I'll share my outfit post soon! For now, I'll share with you my outfit set. And yes, to announce the winners of one of my giveaways!!! (^_^)

eFoxCity Brings Retail Shopping at Wholesale Highly Affordable Pricing!

One thing that goes to mind for sure when we hear the word "wholesale" is that we need to purchase bulk orders of specific items at huge quantities at lower costs, wherein each item could sell at a higher retail price per piece. Wholesale definitely means, savings, for sure. This is a good trade - if you have the capital to start up your business. However, not all of us are business owners and neither do we have that big stash of cash to purchase at wholesale prices, correct? Yes! How I wish I could do it that way and open my shop and sell retail items. Maybe, some other time, I can achieve that dream! But for now, I'm just like an average Jane ... buying items at retail.

I'm glad I've found a new shopping haven where I can enjoy retail shopping at wholesale low and highly affordable pricing! Imaging the convenience of shopping your favorite items at such a lower per piece cost because you get it valued at wholesale price! Don't get me yet? I'd love to share with you the details but before I forget ... have you joined my giveaway yet? If not ... go ahead and hop over on this link ...

Anyway, the shop I'm talking about is eFoxCity.com, an online fashion clothing wholesaler. They supply many wholesalers and boutiques worldwide. So given this setup, each shopper (like you and me) is assured of convenient shopping since their shop is available online at the reach of your fingertips; plus whole lots of savings because we purchase each item at wholesale price. Can't believe how awesome this shop is yet? Check after the cut ...

Alright, lemme talk more about the 1st shop I partnered with for this Giveaway - Asianvogue Shop and I'm happy to say that Angela, the owner, is really a good seller. Her shop is one of the Top Shops in Multiply - a social e-commerce website now. She has earned the Trusted Seller badge now and I think she truly deserves that.

Asianvogue Shop Shoes
6th High Collection

This shop has been my main fashion resource - be it clothing and now, mostly shoes. The store has a lot of items for you to choose from. From merely offering reselling, now the shop has its own Shoe Collection! I'm a proud owner of one of this shop's own line (and I will post outfit shot soon!) The photo above is one of the shop's own line of shoes ... there are more of it in the store so be sure to check it out!

Allow me to share with you our recent purchase ... yes, "our" because it wasn't just me but quite a number of people from my work place. Well, we don't have a uniform so we really dress up at work and shoes is one of our main fashion item ... where else to go right? Of course to my trusted brand!
