Shine on with Sequins – Sale Post!

July 4, 2011 by Regina Chow No Comments
Sequins are so glamorous and glitzy, they make you feel like a star. Certainly, gone are the days when sequins are only reserved for the cabaret. Now, anyone can wear sequins with elegance and grace. I myself have at least 5 sequin pieces in my ever-expanding wardrobe!
The key to avoid looking like a cabaret showgirl or a disco ball for that matter, is to tone down the shine of sequins with simple, casual pieces.

Take a page from the lovely fashionistas below!

Lace with an Edge

July 2, 2011 by Regina Chow 3 Comments
Lace is one of my favourite fabrics because of its versatility and the different styles that it is capable of portraying.
It can be fresh, flirty and feminine, just like D&G’s Spring Collection for 2011:


It can also be dark, edgy and mysterious, as depicted in Valentino’s Fall 2011 Collection:


Whichever style you choose, it is without a doubt that lace is the quintessential fabric for all seasons.

If you recall, I did my take on the fresh, feminine style some weeks ago here.

Now, here’s my take on the darker, edgier style. I should have changed into a fiercer pair of heels before I rushed out of my house. That would have made the look more complete, don’t you think?

Draped bodycon skirt from Body & Soul (Bali)
Transparent heels with leopard print soles from Far East Plaza

Gauffre satchel from Prada

Finally, here’s a rare photo of my make-up for the day. I don’t put much on my face, but eye make-up is a must because I truly believe that the eyes are the windows to the soul. LOL

Colour Blocking

July 1, 2011 by Regina Chow No Comments

Candy tiered skirt from H&M (Hong Kong)

Candy striped shoes from Schuu, Ion Orchard (Singapore)

Gold Hobo Bag from Gucci

Colour blocking is the only way to wear bright candy colours this season. If clashing primary colours like red and blue are too much for you, try matching them with their subtler counterparts, pastels.

Here, I decided to pair green with orange and large doses of pastel pink to neutralize the brightness of the colour palette and yet preserve the essence of colour blocking.

This was the very outfit that I wore to the “Style: It Wild” event at Shanghai Dolly that Karen invited me to. Karen was in a lovely corset that was befitting for the event, which was meant to be a showcase for several lingerie labels. It was a pity I didn’t know beforehand that it was a lingerie show, for I would’ve turned up in one of my corsets too!

We were featured on Lifestyleasia.com too. πŸ™‚ Many thanks to the lovely photographer!

The gorgeous models clad in alluring lingerie dazzled the crowd. It was a feast for our eyes. Not only were the men captivated, even the ladies among the audience were awed by the beauties on stage.

Here’re some of my favourite pieces from Rondavous’s showcase. We were amazed that their lingerie exudes class and sophistication, traits that are sorely lacking in other lingerie labels today. The label’s lingerie are bold and sensual, without compromising on style, femininity and versatility. Talking about versatility, many of the ladies present wore lingerie from Rondavouz as tops, paired with jeans or pants!

For those of you who are interested, Rondavous is located at:
#01-03 Far East Plaza
14 Scotts Road

Monochromatic Colours

June 23, 2011 by Regina Chow 4 Comments
I love colours and the recent colour blocking trend has got me all excited. But on days when I feel lazy, pairing black with white always works, which is why I have an ineffable penchant for monochromatic colours too.

I am already on the plane to Bangkok as you are reading this! I’ll be there till early next week. πŸ™‚

Till, then, keep on smiling everyone! It’s mid-week and the weekend will be here soon!

Bliss is….

June 22, 2011 by Regina Chow 4 Comments

Being surrounded by lush greenery away from the concrete jungle…


Marveling at the beauty of nature’s creations…


Savouring the sweetness of my favourite dessert…


Basking in the tranquility of my surroundings on a leisurely afternoon…


And having all the time in the world…

Feathery Neutrals

June 20, 2011 by Regina Chow 4 Comments
The understated elegance and versatility of neutral shades should never be undermined. Besides black, neutral shades are the only other colours that add a touch of sophistication and finesse to your wardrobe effortlessly.

Tiered skirt from Fa Yuen Street, Hong Kong

Transparent Heels with leopard print soles from Far East Plaza

I got this ethereal feathery skirt from Fa Yuen Street in Hong Kong during my recent trip but I never found the opportunity to wear it till recently. Gorgeous isn’t it?

My love for neutrals doesn’t just stop there. I finally got my hands on the highly coveted Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palette which I’ve been waiting for since Christmas!

Rocker Chic

June 19, 2011 by Regina Chow 6 Comments
I tend to swing to extremes when it comes to experimenting with fashion. You’ll catch me in a feminine, flouncy dress one day but the next day, you may see me in a drastically different look, what with ripped jeans, gladiators and all. That’s probably my alter ego breaking loose. Haha..

Chanel Nails

June 18, 2011 by Regina Chow 2 Comments
OPI Malaga Wine

I sat in front of the telly this morning and decided that I wanted to add something different to my nails.That was when my little packet of Chanel logos, which I purchased for nail art a while back, came in handy. These apparently come in the sticker form now, so you can stick them on easily without the hassle of using a clear varnish. I got mine from fayfey.livejournal.com.

I was initially worried that the end result may turn out tacky, but the gold logo and the wine base colour appear to work well together. πŸ™‚

Jun’s Birthday

June 18, 2011 by Regina Chow No Comments

I had a fun-filled week celebrating my gf Jun’s birthday, which effectively lasted about 2-3 days. First up was her pre-birthday celebration at the largest private room in Lunar.

Tian, Mavis and I got her a gorgeous black bow BCBG accessory watch. I loved it so much I wanted to get one for myself but alas, there weren’t any left in the shop!

Here’s what the watch looks like (picture credits: ASOS). I need to make a mental note to myself to get it one of these days.

It was a fun-filled night with great music, singing, booze and last but not least, the best company. Jun is one of my oldest friends and we go way back to JC days. She’s looking younger everyday though, especially with her bangs. πŸ˜‰ Happy Sweet 18th Birthday babe!

Now, here’s what I wore to Lunar:


River Island toga cut-out dress
CK bracelet watch
Transparent heels with leopard print soles from Far East Plaza

On her actual birthday, Mavis and Tian decided to bake her a cake at the spur of the moment. I rushed down after work only to catch a glimpse of the cake already baking in the oven. The shape of the cake turned out a little dubious (it cracked and a part of it actually collapsed..hahaha) but the two ladies made it all good with dark chocolate fudge and succulent strawberries! The cake was so finger-licking good!


And while the two ladies were busy with the cake, I just stood there in awe, occasionally dipping my fingers into the baking tin to savour the goodness of the residual crumbs. The only thing I did was draw the white heart and write part of the birthday girl’s name on the cake.

Another mental note to myself: I ought to start honing my cooking and baking skills now that I have time on my hands!

The actual day celebration lasted till the wee hours of the morning, starting with dinner at Tonkichi, followed by Kungfu Panda 2 and finally ending with several rounds of bingo at the gambling queen’s (i.e. the birthday girl’s) abode.

Before you start worrying for our health, fret not, for we’ll be going for yoga soon. Yay to healthy activities!
