{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: WEEKLY WARDROBE (EP8)

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: WEEKLY WARDROBE (EP8)


Hey guys, I have a HUGE announcement to make! 

This year, I'm very honored to be one of the 10 finalists in the Best Fashion Blog category of Singapore Blog Award. It's a very big surprise to me because I didn't expect myself to be in the final at all. Look at many other nominated fashion bloggers, they are all very good so I decided to join just for fun. But I didn't just stop there. Well, thank you so much for encouraging me to follow my passion in fashion and for selecting me to be part of the award. Now, all I need is YOUR VOTE

Please, if you love reading my blog, show me some supports by clicking HERE to vote for me. I'll announce something interesting very soon to celebrate this wining. To me, going into the final is already a win. :) Even though, I will still need your huge support. So please don't forget to click vote HERE

Now, back to our weekly wardrobe episode again, I have few new clothes that I would love to share with you.

Monday!
You know this year Spring and Summer season, fashion is crazy about floral prints, pastel colors and all. I'm so in the mood for those light and sweet colors, print outfits. Got this floral print top and white trousers from ZARA on Saturday before last week, I couldn't wait any longer to try it on and I love how it made me feel. Super cool, feminine and sweet!


If you would love to check out the actual items, visit Zara's website

Tuesday

Another outfit from Zara. I must say, I've become ZARA addict. I love most of their collection because they are so creative, sexy and elegant. I bought this tulip skirt at the same time I bought the 2 items above. The white ruffle-collar shirt is from ZARA too which I bought long time ago.

Anyway, ZARA is love. When you start wearing their stuff, you'll get addicted like I do.

Oh, fyi, the shoes are not from ZARA. They are from GUESS which were bought by Mike :D

Wednesday

When my wardrobe starts running low, I need to be creative to create a new look. So this outfit is about layering my 3 different old pieces, a circle skirt, a tank top and a butterfly cardigan. One important tip to share, when layering your outfit, you need some signature accessories like belt, necklaces to go along etc.... I find it useful most of the time because it can change the outfit into the entire new look. Like how I styled it here, without the black belt, the entire look could have been be a disaster.


Thursday. 
Attempting H&M! I got this cute red dress when I was in Hongkong in July last year and I only wore it once ever since. It's not because I don't like it, but somehow, I don't wear it very often. And later on when I have a bunch of color-blocking belts, I then slowly try them with old dresses of mine. This is one of them.


Super love these blue wedges from ZARA because it's soooo comfortable! 

Friday

Forever21 baby! I paired the one shoulder chiffon dress with white denim jacket, both are from Forever21 and are new. 

I even managed to create a Lookbook for you and if you would like to buy the item, simply click at the link below. 


I love Spring





Saturday. 

I went to attend the Canon Blogger Workshop organized by Canon & the Audi Fashion Festival in Orchard. It was an interesting event which I had a chance to listen to some story and experiences sharing sessions from celebrity photographer, fashion photographer, bloggers locally and internationally. I felt so inspired and I talked to myself, I will make it there one day. Yes! Always chase for your dream!


I and Russell James, international photographer at the event. 

And that event also ended up my whole busy working week. Mike came to pick me up after that and we went for lunch, went for a walk, had a drink at Clarke Quay. It was so relaxing and happy! 

That's how my week went. How about yours? Do share with me your favorite moment of the week or any fashion tips, trick at the comment section below.

I'll talk to you soon.

Love,
Crystal

MARC ANTHONY TRUE PROFESSIONAL

MARC ANTHONY TRUE PROFESSIONAL


Some of you might not be very familiar with Marc Anthony True Professional yet but very soon it will be one of the most favorite names in your haircare products list. I was invited to attend the OFFICIAL LAUNCH of Marc Anthony True Professional products in Singapore on 10 May at Klapsons, The Boutique Hotel and I'm now official fan of Marc Anthony products.

Talking about Marc Anthony, he is known as Canadian hairstyling guru and a celebrity- hairstylist of so many Hollywood celebrities including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Blake Lively, Paris Hilton, Fergie, Eva Longoria, Justin Bieber and many more. He was awarded World Champion Hairstylist at the age of 19, can you believe it? I'm not gonna say much, all you need to do is to click on this video to watch what he has done and amaze.



So when I got invited to attend his products launch, I was very excited. C'mon! A Hollywood celebrities- hairstylist is in town, that's a big deal. 

And not only that,  his products are going to be sold in Singapore in June!!!!
Now, you are stepping closer to achieve your favorite celebrities hairstyles. Before talking about the products, let me show you some photos of the launch itself. 

Posing at the red-carpet.


Angelique Teo and I. She is host of the event and also a host of some programs on HBO Channel. Such a lovely and friendly lady. 



Event was started by Angelique with many other beauty bloggers.



Products showcase together with many photos of Marc Anthony and other celebrities that he has worked with. 



Sabrina, Pris and I. 



Pris was trying to curl my hair with the Beach Pray product. In the end, my hair got messed up instead of curled up, lolz. 

During the event, Marc Anthony Salon's Artistic Director, Marillisa Sears also shared with us her experiences in working with lot of celebrities and demonstrated to all audiences how to use their signature products to get the instant, voluminous and sexy curly hairstyle. 

Best part, we gotta take ALL the products home to use :D. Here are what I got! Jealous yet? ^_^


Don't be! Because I'm gonna share with you a great news. Marc Anthony True Professional products are going be sold EXCLUSIVELY at Watson only in June onward and their prices are very affordable if I don't want to say it's super cheap for such a big brand. But before the products are heading to the stores, I'm gonna share with you the different products ranges as well as their uniqueness so you will know what you  need to buy:

1. Strictly Curls




Formulated with all curly hair types in mind. Whether your hair needs a bit of boots or some serious taming, this renowned line will help to create the curly hair style of your dreams. All Strictly Curls products are enriched with Sonya Bean and Shea Butter to add intense moisture, while Silk Amino Acids smooth cuticles and vitamin E protects and promotes healthy hair that shines. 

2. Instant thick




Great for adding volume to find and/or limp hair. It helps to keep hair full and voluminous all day long. Marc Anthony's secret blend of Hydrolyzed Corn, Soy and Wheat Proteins called Phytokeratin penetrates the hair to strengthen and expand each strand. This unique formula allows hair to be at its fullest and most vibrant all day long. 

3. Damage Repair





It is made to wash away the daily toxins that eat away at the hair allowing it the opportunity to heal. Pro Vitamin B5 and Soya Bean helps to stimulate circulation and moisturize from the inside out as well as to protect hair's elasticity and reduce breakage. 

4. Brilliant Color



The range's award- winning formula maintains shine and keeps color looking rich and healthy with Provitamin B5 and Citrus. 


5. Pro Finish


This Ultimate Hold Hairspray is an on-set staple for the Marc Anthony Stylist Team. It's formulated with a Pro Vitamin B5 and Aloe blend that blinds to the hair shaft to add luminous shine, while offering definitely hold without stickiness or flaking, which is important when you need hair to be perfect each time. 

6. Bye Bye Frizz.




It all begins with the cuticle; the outermost part of the hair shaft that protect the inner structure of hair and gives it strength. It looks like overlapping layers of roof shingles. When the cuticle is lying flat or closed, it looks smooth and allows light to be reflected off the surface giving hair a natural sheen. When the cuticle is open, hair appears frizzy, dull and coarse. The entire Bye.bye.Frizz collection is designed to solve frizzy hair issues by smoothing the cuticle and retaining moisture with the power of Keratin. 

Found any product that is suitable for you yet? For me, I love all of the products above because they make your hair feel so good, soft and healthy. So, don't forget to check out all the products at Watson in June. I'm sure you are not going to be disappointed. 

For now, If you love to checking out more information about Marc Anthony True Professional, here is their website. Alternately, you can follow them on Twitter or Facebook too.

That's all from me for now, I'll see you in next blog post!
Love
Crystal

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: WEEKLY FASHION (Ep7)

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: WEEKLY FASHION (Ep7)


Hi guys,
Time again for the new weekly wardrobe (WW) episode :D. I can't believe it's Episode 7 already and when it comes to episode 10, I'll probably have some GIVEAWAY stuffs to celebrate. So please stay tuned! 

Last week was pretty fun and busy week for me: my parents were around, events to attend, dinner, filming and busy work schedules as usual. How did your week go? I hope it's all good. 

Now, let's recap what did I do and what did I wear last week, I got something excited to show you in the end of this entry ;)

Monday!
Basic white shirt and black skirt from ZARA with black bow tie. Trust me, this is one of the most basic looks that anyone can ever had. It's so simple, classic and easy to wear. Don't tell me that you dont have any black skirt or white shirt in your closet at all. 


Surprisingly, many celebrities love this look too because it's suitable with anyone, at anywhere, anytime. 

Angelina Jolie in satin shirt and leather skirt.


Khloe Kadarshian



Katie Homes with the red shoes while I chose red belt to accessorize 

The black bow tie I created is actually inspired by Kim Kadarshian. I find it's interesting and cute on this basic outfit. 

Tuesday.
Somehow, I chose black and white again but this outfit is more casual than the first one. I paired up the basic white tank top from ZARA with my full circle skirt and accessorized it with my very own Swarovski crystal DIY collar necklace. 
It's dynamic, fun and young. Interesting look huh? Wanna know how I made this collar necklace? Watch my old tutorial HERE



Wednesday!
Pastel colors is always my favorite. It's so light, elegant and refreshing. 


Green shoes from The Island Shop I bought it recently at Tang. 




Vintage charm bracelet. 



Thursday. 
Coincidentally I chose to wear green again on Thursday. This is one of my favorite: big ruffle off-shoulder bodycon dress. Absolutely gorgeous! I have worn this dress twice only. The first time was on my birthday last year November :D



Love the detail and cutting at the bottom of the dress, super sexy. 

At night, I wore this dress to attend the official launch of Marc Anthony True Professional haircare products. Marc Anthony is celebrity hairstylist who has been styling for so many celebrities i.e Paris Hilton, Justin Bieber, Jessica Alba and many more. And his amazing products are gonna be sold exclusively at Watson in June only. You guys definitely gotta check it out the products.



I and Angelique Teo at the red carpet. 


with Pris (left) and Sabrina at the event. 

This is the amount of products that they gave me to use. My hair is gonna be thrilled! 


Friday
Rocking the Hi-Low nude dress with black corset belt and black accessories. I love nude color, it's playful, classy and extremely sexy. If you go clubbing on Friday night with a nude bodycon dress on you, you'll know what I mean. I bet all the eyes will be on you ;).




Friday night, Mike asked me out for a date. We haven't gone out for a date for a long time, I couldn't remember when the last time was but it was nice of him. I always love dating my boyfriend time to time no matter how long we have been together. It's one of the secrets to refresh and spice up the relationship I guess. 

I decided to wear a casual bodycon dress with simple make up on. At this stage, you don't need to wear heavy make up to impress the guy anymore :D


He brought me to one of the fine dining restaurants and the foods, the ambience were absolutely perfect. 


We happened to order same food (as always).


and I had my yummiest foie gras ever. 

Saturday
I woke up early and got prepare for filming Crystal's Closet. That's my make-up and hairdo using Marc Anthony True Professional. That stuffs are amazing in creating curly hair I'm telling you. I love it.





Getting my wardrobe prepared. Tutorial will be up soon. 

Sunday
Got my hair colored at Toni& Guys but somehow Mike didn't like it because he said it doesn't look different from my previous hair color at all. So, boo! -_-


So that's it. My awesome and fruitful week. I hope you guys had a great week too and feel free to share with me your favorite moments of the week here. It's the way we inspire and motivate each other. 

That's all for now, I'll talk to you guys real soon. 
Love,
Crystal

SHOPPING IN BANGKOK


I can't believe there are so many people curious about and interested in knowing what did I buy in Bangkok. And they even knew how much did I spend there. What an era of speedy information spread. So to answer all those "What did you buy?", "How much did you spend?" questions, I'm gonna sum it up through a short video that I'm about to share with you guys in a while.

Initially, I thought of just taking photos of all the stuffs I bought but I ended up being so lazy while looking at them and being astonished "God! That's a lot".  It took me three weeks to get this video up because I had to re-shoot twice. The first video took me an hour and a half to finish filming, and when I was about to turn off the camcorder, I realized the camera wasn't in recording mode at all. That meant; I had been talking about nothing for an hour. Can you imagine how pissed off and frustrated I felt? And I didn't want to continue to re-shoot so I left it undone until I found my mood to shoot that video again which was another week later.

Anyway, some of you have already watched this video as I posted it up a week ago on Youtube. Whoever hasn't done so, please watch it here and enjoy.

What do you think about my picks? Many people love it, and I've been wearing all the clothes that I bought for the past three weeks without any repetition :D. I think my shopping skill is getting better and better. A friend of mine even suggested me to be a personal shopper: going for shopping and getting paid. That sounds like a good idea. :D 

Last but not least, people asked me "How much did I spend on this trip?". The total amount is  S$1000 which equals to 24,907 BAHT. Some said "OMG," some said "It's alright. Average!" I don't know. You tell me.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: WEEKLY FASHION (EP6)

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: WEEKLY FASHION (EP6)


Holy Moly, another busy busy week is here. I hope you all had a great start on Monday. So, it's brand new week again, what are you wearing this week? And what did you wear last week? Do you usually plan your wardrobe on daily or weekly basis? I guess, most of us do it on daily basis only. Like myself, I usually think of what to wear the night before and make sure things are ready the next morning before I go to work. However, sometimes I...oversleep (Yeah, everyone does) and end up standing in front of my wardrobe for 15 minuties and not knowing what to wear at all. That is like first world problem.

So I hope, my weekly fashion diary will give you or even myself some ideas or solutions on how to mix and match your old dress, pants, skirt, shirt and create a fresh looking outfit as if you just wear it for the first time ;). I'll show you more about it in few more episodes later when my wardrobe is about to run out of, lolz...That's when you need creativity. 

Anyway, here are what I wore last week. Most of them are new stuffs I've just bought and not worn before so I'm pretty excited to share. 
Monday! 
Getting basic and formal with Brook Brothers floral shirt, Mango pants & Gucci belt. I super love this floral shirt from Brook Brothers. The material is so cool, light and soft. When pairing up with a straight cut pants, it shows some characters, attitudes while pairing it with a skirt, it gives lot of femininity and sophistication. Mike bought this shirt for me together with the Gucci belt and apparently these are one of my favorite pieces in my closet. 




Beautiful texture and prints.

Get that look: Brook Brothers shirt 

Tuesday. 
It was public holiday in Singapore. I spent the entire day staying at home and re-arranging my closet. Also, that was a day my 3 "babies" from US arrived. Say Hello to Kate Spade floral handbag, Dolce Vita shoes & Michael Kors handbag. Super love them!




Arranging my beauty corner. I have way too many beauty, skin care products that I don't use and they are expired -_-. 


Arranging my shoes. I think I need a new shoes cabinet very soon. It's over-flowing. 
Wednesday! 
Bright and shine with color-blocking outfit from Forever21. Love this chiffon ribbon top and pencil pink skirt. The color matches my Katespade bag so perfectly. 





Thursday!

I was up to the Sweet Young Thing look! It's like a norm that I always wear skirt or dress on Thursday which I don't know why. I paired up a very basic white tank top from Zara with a polka dot lining blazer from Guess and completed it with princess full circle skirt from River Island.


Very light, simple make up that day I wore. Make-up should only be used to enhance your look not to exaggerate it. Btw, would you be interested in watching a natural make up tutorial soon? :)



Friday. 
I went for 2C look: Casual cum Semi- Corporate with this beautiful jumpsuit. It's such a versatile piece,  whenever I need to be really formal or professional for some important meetings, I just need put the blazer on. Else, the jumpsuit is the best choice for casual outfit on Friday at work or even party at night. 


I grabbed some silver accessories i.e sparkle earrings, bow silver ring and silver bangle to give more contrast to the outfit. That was it!
It was productive week after all. I was supposed to write this blog entry 3 days ago, however I was busy spending time with parents and I couldn't finish it up.
Now, another new week is here. Hope you guys having a great week and I'll catch up with you with another episode at the end of the week.
Stay sexy and happy!
Crystal
