Go Red for Women presented by Mastercard

Published on April 19, 2009 in Asian, Community Service and Singapore. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Firstly, I just arrived in TOKYO! Woot! I’m blardee excited to kick start my holiday tomorrow morning. It has been a long day for me. I managed to catch a few winks – trying to catch up on sleep since it has been one crazy week at work. I attended the ‘Go Red for Women’ presented by Mastercard event at St. Regis last Tuesday. “Go Red For Women” is the name of a heart health campaign by the Singapore Heart Foundation. According to the website, “it was adopted from the American campaign to raise awareness that heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer for women.” Here is why the “little red dress is more than just a fashion item – it is a social statement” as well:

Who? What? Where? Cartier Love Bracelet Launch

Published on June 22, 2008 in Celebrity, Community Service, Event and Red Carpet. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , .

When Cartier calls, celebrities come out to play. The Cartier Charity Love Bracelet launch attracted big names such as Nicole Richie, Fergie, Madden brothers, Bridget Moynahan, Emmy Rossum, Eva Mendes and etc. It has been said that each guest represented a different charity and contributed their favorite love song to the Cartier Love Charity playlist. How nice. Let’s see who’s looking fantabulous that night:

Print and Pretty
Yeah, we love prints. Fergie is rocking some fierce heels as she strut down the red carpet. Love her legs. Nicole Richie looks lovely with her maternal glow.

Ingenue in Dresses
Emmy Rossum and Chloe Sevigny both look adorable and chic in their dresses. Chloe pinned a vintage-like flower brooch on her dress, nice.

Sister 2 Sister
I honestly think Hilary Duff looks beautiful in the cobalt blue dress and very fierce heels! Love the black nails too. Haylie took a safe choice with a little black dress.

Sexy Duo
Eva Mendes and Eve both looked sexy and sulty in their respective dresses. I never noticed Eve’s wild cat paw tattoo just above her breasts. Absolutely wild!

Look Book: Swirl Swap Swop

Published on April 20, 2008 in Community Service, Event, Look Book and Singapore. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

After a nice morning swim and yummy Thai lunch, Moe Moe and I trotted down to Swirl’s shop with a few shopping bags with our clothes on a lovely Saturday. We were clothing swopping virgins and it was interesting to suddenly go “ooh? what? dig now? ahhh! I want!” I managed to grab four random items and I think Moe Moe got three. Not bad eh? That was fun! I forgot my cupcake, haha. Anyway here’s what I wore today:

Top: Little flowers print blouse from HK

Bottom: Capri pants from Esprit

Bag: Red logo handbag from Guess

Shoes: Pink patent flats from Mondo

Belt: I can’t remember!

Okay. I got a couple of comments from close friends of mine that my blouse looks very ‘aunty’. It has little flowers, and it can be poufy if I don’t wear my belt. So, TELL ME HONESTLY… does it really look ‘aunty’? Maybe I am ‘aunty’… I like flowers, but I don’t think anyone likes my top. What do you think?

Swirl Swap Swop, Saturday (19 April, 2pm)

This weekend is going to be F-U-N. Fash-E is going to Swirl Swap Swop hosted by the lovely, Swirl Girls. It’s happening this Saturday, 19 April at 2pm – so start spring cleaning! If you’re unfamiliar with the entire concept (swirl swap swop what?)… the Swirl Girls wll give you the 101 on this fun, cupcake madness event:

  • Spring clean your wardrobe. Be ruthless.
  • Stuff a shopping bag full of clothes you no longer fit into, fashion disasters and impulse buys. Someone else will love them, we promise.
  • Come by the Swirl boutique on the day of the Swirl Swap Swop.
  • Empty your bags into a giant pile with the cast-offs from other swoppers, who, needless to say, have extraordinarily good taste since they are Swirl Girls.
  • Rummage through the pile and grab those items you fancy. No cat fights, please.
  • Clothes not taken at the end of the swop can be brought home and the rest will be donated to charity. We have donated all clothes from the swops to Beyond Social Services, the flood victims in Kota Tinggi, Malaysia, and the needy in Ulu Tiram, Johor.
  • Return home with fabulous finds. Mission accomplished.
  • Remember, it’s all free!

Sounds good? Just drop the girls an email at shop@ilovetoswirl.com to let us know how many of you and your gal friends would like to join in.

Rihanna looks stunning in this green Gucci dress that really compliments her skin tone. Green “is” really her color. And, Katie Holmes looks quite ’spacy’ in this chic folded red dress by Gucci. I really dig this look. Very fashion forward.

Gwyneth in PinkLucy in Cute Black Bow Dress

Looking pretty in pink? Gwyneth Paltrow absolutely look divine in this cute mini. Must be the Estee Lauder ‘Pleasures’ look. To emphasize the “bow” trend, Lucy Liu bounced back from looking like a marshmallow at the Valentino couture show! She looks ultra cute in this sleek white dress with a black bow.

Victoria Beckham: Naked For Good

Published on January 31, 2008 in Celebrity, Clothing and Community Service. 0 Comments

First, we have PETA ads with naked celebrities. It seems like showing skin can attract a little more attention. Victoria Beckham posed naked for a good cause to raise awareness on skin cancer campaign for designer, Marc Jacobs.

The charity T-shirt goes on sale to warn the good people about the danger of excessive exposure to sun. I absolutely support this campaign! I wear sunscreen all the time – the highest protection that I could find SPF 55, you name it. One for the body. One for the face. The sun over here in Singapore is really harsh, and you don’t wanna risk it for skin cancer.

Besides, Victoria also got her hubby to wear the T-shirt to add a lil’ more buzz to the entire campaign. Hmm, V-day gift ideas – make a T-shirt of naked you for your loved ones?
