FASHION BAZAAR @ PUBLIKA


Gosh! I'm tired~ I'm freaking tired! You definitely wont believe if I told you that I'm still cleaning up my closet at 3am in the morning~ There comes a point in every consumer's life when you just can't stuff any more clothes into your closet. To facilitate the need to buy more clothes, it sometimes becomes necessary to get rid of the old stuff to make room for the new. So I'm getting rid most of my pre-loved clothes. Well I have been talking about doing this for two years now and am just getting around to it. I’m SERIOUS this time. So here we go! I’ll be selling all my junks for a pretty low price at PUBLIKA MONT KIARA. I'm letting go brands like Zara, MNG, Topshop, Miss Selfridge and many more. Do drop by and say hi…oh and don’t forget to buy something =).



Bet you’ll be amaze with the things I’m letting go =). XO~

BLOOM!


I just love floral prints. Seriously you can't really think of spring without thinking of floral. The spring 2012 shows were bombarded with almost every designer showcasing their love of botanical prints and flower power from blazers to dresses to purses to skinny pants. Celebs have all been spotted wearing an abundance of statement floral prints. Whether it’s Lily, daisies, roses, or any other type of foliage, I’m fawning over this season’s photographic and digi-printed blossoms!

A Vintagesnoise Giveaway - Pure Beauty Pomegranate Antioxidant


I personally think that style is important, the way a person dresses can affect a person's self image and affect how others will treat them. Dressing appropriately is very important in any occasion. You’ll be surprise that People do judge others by the way they dress. You are what you wear. Clothing gives people an identity, changes moods and influences behaviour and attitude. When you get right down to it, clothing is powerful. Be selective in what you put on your body to portray the correct image. I believe if you project a positive self-image, people will be more likely to see you as a positive, capable person.


Do you know what your clothes say about you? In the business world, those who project a Total Image often pass by others—regardless of who has the stronger skills. Successful people know that a Total Image makes them appear credible and polished to those around them. Let your inner beauty shine. Your image is the first thing people see. It should reflect the best of you.


I know there’s a big question popping up HOW TO DRESS UP CONFIDENTLY. Well, no worries because I will create the look and style you desire, while making sure you stay comfortable in your own skin. This is the time to unlock your confidence by looking and feeling radiantly beautiful inside and, out. .


-Working Office Lady



That mesmerizing little combo that you don each morning is your secret weapon to persuasion and vibrant self-expression all day long.  Believe it or not...business glam is the perfect weapon for women who love to take charge!


-The Romantic Date



In my style dictionary, this look is ideal for a movie date as it possesses a vintage vixen quality with an air of refinement. The little black dress is safe for any occasion.


-Looking all Glam and Posh



When it comes to attending an event, we always have to dress to impress. To be both professionally chic and a tad alluring. A perfect fit works magic for your body.


-Celebrity Crush



I always have a major girl crush on Alexa Chung, Alexa has a laid-back, London street chic with an indie retro twist style. She always seems to look great, unique and effortless. Nobody puts outfits together the way she does.



 But recently I have another new girl crush on Olivia Palermo. Olivia Palermo dress like a modern day princess like a true lady, breathe elegance and timeless. I guess it’s time for me to grow up and dress maturely.


If you notice all these looks, I always wearing heels I’m not a six foot tall model, for me, it’s really all about high heels. I love to wear heels and it’s a must to have a good pair of black pumps. Black pumps go with everything, they won’t get too dirty, and they can also go from day to night.


Besides, learning how to dress confidently, you have to learn how to accessorize and enhance your look...I’m sure everyone have a timeless accessories. My timeless accessories would be my Rado Vintage watch. My dad gave this old timepiece to me as a birthday gift. I’ve always loved the look of Rado watches and was so excited to finally have my own. It’s waterproof, dainty and feminine. Exactly what I look for in a watch!


Now I’m gonna reveal the 3 MUST-HAVE fashion pieces.


Jeans- Jeans are the obvious place to start, everyone must have a pair of favourite jeans, the kind of jeans that make you feel sexy, pulled together, and comfortable.


Little black dress (LDB)- You need to have at least 1 little black dress that in the style that suits you. It should be well-made and accentuate your attributes.


Black blazer- The black blazer is the key in your wardrobe. It goes with virtually everything.


Dressing nicer will give you a boost in your confidence. The better you dress, the more powerful your signals will be. You'll feel confident day in and day out and opportunities will finally start coming your way.  But having a good complexion is a plus point and it definitely boosted up your confidence too.

After using it for a few weeks, I have to say out of these five products the Foam Cleanser, Essence and Eye Cream are my FAVOURITE!!!


Cleanser:



What’s interesting about this foam cleanser is it has dual function. It could be used as a daily cleanser, and also a mask!! Amazing huh~ the 2-in-Foam Cleanser contains a natural complex of fruit and herbal extracts that gently de-stresses skin, unclogs pores and detoxifies to leave skin energized and refreshed.


Toner:



I’m always lazy to put on Toner. Maybe because of the packaging, but the Pomegranate Antioxidant Toner Packaging makes it so much easier to apply. Just pump a generous amount and pat on your skin.  The Toner actually works like a lotion.


Essence:



Next is the Essence, Gosh I’m loving this Essence, Do you know that Essence is very important for your skin. It’s like the hero of all products. When I put it on my skin. I can feel that my skin is moisturizing, soft and smooth. The texture of my skin looks instantly velvety.


Eye Cream:



Now is the Eye Cream! Pomegranate Antioxidant Eye Cream is perfect for mature skin. It evens out the surface of the skin and makes it softer and smoother. It contains pomegranate seed oil, which is rich in antioxidants and protects the skin from the elements. Hopefully the lines and wrinkles around my eyes become less apparent =).


 Facial Mask:



The facial Mask feels so good on my face. This stuff is COOL, as in, cools your skin and pores so much; it kinda feels like you stuck your face into a snow bank! I'm telling you the truth here! Face freeze! Pomegranate Antioxidant Mask provides instant, intensive smoothing and hydrating benefits. If you have dry, combination or only slightly oily skin, the Pomegranate Facial Mask is a wonderful choice.



Don’t take my word for it, try it out for a month for softer skin and a more even skin tone! Pure Beauty range is quite affordable and can be found at your nearest Watson outlet =).

Maxims Genting Premium Experience


Remember last week I said I’ve been living my life like a celeb =). Now this is what I called the life of a celeb. I was really lucky to be chosen as 1 of the blogger to blog about my 2 days 1 night stay in Maxims Genting. At 1st I thought of rejecting the offer because I’ve a horrible experience. It bothers me when my friends asked me to travel up to Genting. But this trip definitely changes my perception.



Our journey starts here! We were so lucky that Transport to Genting will be sorted out by Genting themselves. We had a VIP treatment with a driver that took us up with a nice Alphard. I can't believe the ride was smooth and fast too. It was definitely a good ride!



We reached Genting about 11 something, have some tea at one of Genting Famous Cafe called Bakery.



We checked in-to Maxims hotel at 12pm. There are 5 hotels in the Genting Highlands, but I personally think Maxims is the best of them all. The hotel is located at the highest point of Genting and commands a panoramic view of the hill. The service, right from the check in to check out is superb. The rooms are big and well furnished and the buffet breakfast is the most extensive I have had anywhere in the world. There is easy accessibility to the attractions in Genting like the theme parks, etc. So once you check into the hotel you can just walk around these places of interests. Genting is a family holiday location and Maxims Genting is the star of this location. I recommend this hotel highly.



Me and Ei ling shared the Premier Room. It costs RM550++ to stay in per night...we got a view that overlooking Genting Hotel =). The room size is quite ok. The amenities in the room are pretty standard there’s mini fridge, large LCD TV. The bed is from Simmons and it is quite comfortable. The pillows are very good too. Complementary bottle waters are there with complementary newspaper. There are also complementary fruits. The pear and grapes were very sweet! However, there is no free wi-fi in the room.



The bathroom is quite ok. It is of a very good size. The bathtub is on right hand side and the toilet bowl and bathing cubicle is on the left hand side. It has a nice rain forest shower and two basins for you and your partner. The bathroom amenities are packed nicely in a pouch. The bathing amenities are from Aigner. The towels are of good size.


Wanna look at the other rooms? Follow me I’ll show you the Maxims Suite room.



It costs RM1320++ to stay in per night... the rooms is bigger than the premier rooms we stayed. It’s Huge and spacious with king size beds and also a walk in closet and the last a colossal bathroom that has everything including a T.V and what else can you expect. And for the ladies their own personal dressing table and for the busy business men a small business centre in your room itself.


Next! Signature Suite



This costs RM4125++ to stay in per night. The Signature Suite rooms are definitely spacious with all business requirements. These suites are basically meant for celebrities and high rollers at the casino. It’s slightly the same as the Maxims Suite but double up everything. It have two large rooms with personal walk in closet, 2 colossal bathrooms that has everything including T.V, a mini bar, dining room, 2 personal living rooms and 2 Desktop for you to surf the internet or do your work, which comes with a colour laser printer. Great huh! I think Nuffnang should consider celebrating their next birthday bash here =).

After viewing all the rooms is time for some FOOD! So we decided to have our lunch at Imperial Rama. Imperial Rama is our must go restaurant whenever we go to Genting Highlands. It is a Thai-Chinese fine dining restaurant in elegance ambience. The secret to Imperial Rama’s dazzling cuisine is its perfect balance of two cultures that inspire it; for every Chinese influence in a delicacy, there is a hint of Thai sophistication that doesn’t just complement the recipe, but enhances it as well. Imperial Rama took part in Malaysia International Gourmet Festival and won several awards. It is located at a secluded corner in Level 2 of Highlands Hotel. Many people might not notice it but those who have tried will definitely come back for more.



Wine!!!



The environment is very cozy~



Our trip was splendid! Guess what we had a menu of dishes specially designed and prepared for us by Chef Eric Lee.


Here’s our menu:



Shaggy Mushroom with Truffle oil Salad


I love this dish, It's definitely a good mix between the mushroom and truffle oil.



Lily Bulb with Emperor Sprout Orange Salad


This is my 1st time eating flower, it looks weird but I have to say this dish is delicious. These white lily bulbs have the size of a garlic bulb or small onion. It said they were from the highlands of Lanzhou in Western China, and highly valued for their sweet, crisp and refreshing flavour (plus their nutritional value of course). This unusual and invigorating salad delivers a delightful range of tastes and textures.



Thai Fish Crackers Imported from Thai YUM~



Twins Flavor King Prawns


A chinese meal would not be complete without prawns right? This had got to be one of the very best!! It’s Delicious!  The prawns were superbly fresh with a nice crispy crust of salted egg yolk...The cheese and prawns is an unexpected combination that works really well, allowing the subtle flavour   to come through. I throughly enjoyed every last bit of this dish!!!



Stewed Chicken Essence Soup


I almost cried when I drank the “soup” because it tastes so rich and wholesome. This is different from the other Stewed Chicken Essence Soup where you have like big chuck of chicken meat in your soup. The Chicken we had is well steamed and is as soft as tou fu.



Australian Abalone Braised in Curry Sauce


This dish is extra ordinary, a must try!



Steamed Marble Goby Fish with Crispy and Garlic


The fish must have been swimming happily before being served to us was fresh and the chef did a good job of not overly cooking and flavouring this superb fish!



Pork Ribs topped with Black Current Sauce


Just think out of the box of traditional taste and mix together two kinds of sauces. Concept of sauce combinations, bringing out and enhancing the taste of pork ribs. This AWESOME dish will definitely leave you with sticky fingers and a smile.



Durian Tempura with Lemongrass Jelly


I’m not much of a Durian person, so this is definitely not my kind of dish. But I enjoy sipping the Lemongrass Jelly thou =).




You guys should really try out this Chinese fine dining restaurant. Click here for more info http://www.rwgenting.com/en/fb/oriental/index.htm


Well there’s too many to share with you guys~ hmmm maybe I shall continue this on Monday, I’m going to talk more about my stay in Genting. Just remember to watch this space! XO
