CRYSTAL'S CLOSET: GLOSSI GIRL

CRYSTAL'S CLOSET: GLOSSI GIRL

June 10, 2013

Hi everyone,

 If you can still remember the first blog entry I wrote for Glossi Eyewear to share the business women look, you can probably guess what I'm about to share next especially with a big sunglasses "sitting" on top of somewhere in the middle of the blue sky that gives you a big impression from the first look. Well, I hope!

 You got it!

 The semi- casual look is what I'm going to share with you. But first and foremost, please allow me to give huge credits to my team of 3 pretty girls: Alicia Toh, Sherlene Cheng & Faith Chua who helped me to finish this photoshoot at 12.30pm on sunny Saturday on the rooftop. Look where did I stand to have this photo taken?


On the edge of urban rooftop building!!!!

 I don't know where did I find so much courage to do this but there is one thing I'm pretty sure is that I never regret doing it. Thank to many years in modeling that give me experience to do so. 

Doing a photoshoot under the sun at 12pm on the rooftop wasn't easy especially with no shelter at all but I had my life saver with me: Glossi sunglasses. 

 Unlike an ordinal pair of sunglasses, Glossi frames are made of a strong, flexible nylon compound that is glossy, super light weight, durable and comfortable to wear. The frame front is hand-stitched to the top bar of a different color using nylon string. This dual color combination creates a third visual dimension to the eyewear with unique see-through overlapping color effects at the top bar. 


 Besides the special material, I absolutely love how the glasses fit my face perfectly without having to adjust anything. 

Exclusive coating technique applied to create reflective frame-front with patterns, giving a unique design which no other eyewear has. 

Every time wearing Glossi out, I never fail to get the attention from people whom are attracted to the shine and stylishness of the glasses. 


Aren't you attracted to my shiny sunglasses too?




Glossy sunglasses with glossy heels. They seem to make a perfect match!

If grey isn't your choice, there are still many different colors and patterns available at Nanyang Optical store. All you need to do is to visit Glossi website  to find your favorite eyewear and follow them on Facebook to get their latest update. 

Thank you so much for reading! Please do come back this blog again as I'll share with you another new look with the same pair of glasses. I know you'll love it! 

P/s: This blog entry is proudly sponsored by Nanyang Optical and as one of the requirements for Singapore Blog Award 2013. My blog is in Top 10 of Best Fashion Blog , Glossi Best Modeling Blog and is waiting for your support.  Please VOTE FOR ME! Click HERE to find out how to vote.

CRYSTAL'S CLOSET: FUN WITH GLOSSI EYEWEAR

CRYSTAL'S CLOSET: FUN WITH GLOSSI EYEWEAR

June 05, 2013

Hi everyone,

 The brand name might not ring a bell to you just yet but I'm sure you've already known what I am talking about based on the featured item: eyewear. I've announced in the previous blog entry that my blog is in finalist of 3 categories this year: Best Fashion Blog, Levi's 501 Best Interpretation Blog and lastly Glossi Best Modeling Blog.

 What is the "Glossi Best Modeling Blog" about anyway? Basically, it's a category for any blog that focuses on Modeling the latest style and fashion trend. Bloggers must have experience in writing reviews on fashion clothing and accessories as well as modeling and posing them. And when I knew my blog was shortlisted to Top 10 in this category, I was told to pick up any 2 pairs of of Glossi glasses from Nanyang Optical to wear and to review.

Just to give you more information about Nanyang Optical, they started as a lens grinding and edging workshop in Singapore in the 1950s. From this modest beginning, Nanyang has grown to become one of Singapore's largest optical retails. They have some exclusive house brands like Urband, Eyelet, Linkskin and Glossi is one of them. 

 I hadn't heard anything about Glossi eyewear before at all, so I really had no idea what to expect besides some images on their website. But as soon as I arrived at Nanyang Optical store, I was so overwhelmed with many colorful glasses displayed in front of me. After trying many different pairs with different colors, sizes, shapes and judging them at the comfort level, I picked 2 pairs of glasses. One is the red glasses (the photo above) and the other pair will soon be shown to you in the next blog post

I still remember when I found out I was short-sighted 15 years ago, the only reason for me to get a pair of glasses was to give me better vision, nothing else. I didn't even care about the frame size, shape or color as long as it's cheap and good, I would just buy it.
NOW?

 Things has evolved so quickly. Eyewear is no longer just an eyewear, it's fashion accessories and sometimes a statement.  Looking at the big variety of colorful and vibrant eyewear designs, I knew that I need to update myself.

Last week, I decided to take my Glossi eyewear out for a full day of meetings with me and let everyone  give some comments before I made the complete review on my blog just in case you would say I'm bias.

 Here is my first outfit pairing with Glossi eyewear for a business women look.

My first impression of the Glossi eyewear was: "Why is it so light?". It is so light that sometimes I even forget I'm wearing the glasses. It DOES NOT give me the pain behind my ears and the pressure on my nose bridge like many other glasses do.  I'm not sure if you experience the same thing but I'm telling you it IS annoying.

Applying same color rule, I decided to wear color-block (red & purple) to compliment this vibrant and eyecatching eyewear. 


Get a closer look at the Glossi eyewear, you'll find the frame is very unique. Glossi's frames are made from strong and flexible Nylon Compound to give comfort and near-weightless pressure on the face. That explains why all the Glossi eyewears are so light. 


Also, I love how the Nylon Compound gives the frames a glossy finish and enhances the durability. 

There is also an unique coating applied to the frames-front to create reflective patterns and colors on the frame, giving it a contrasting look i.e the one I'm having here with black and red contrast.





Doesn't it look so youthful, fashionable and chic? I couldn't think of any other eyewear brand I've worn that gave me so much stylishness and comfort. 



When I first look at Glossi eyewear, I was told that this is going to be the "Head- turner" piece, I didn't believe. But now, after wearing them for more than a week, I can assure you that you can get all attention you want with just a pair of Glossi eyewear.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: LEVI'S 501 INTERPRETATION

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: LEVI'S 501 INTERPRETATION

June 02, 2013

Hi everyone,

In the previous blog post, I announced that my blog is currently listed in Top 10 Singapore Best Fashion Blog, Levi's Best 501 Interpretation Blog and Glossi Best Modeling Blog of Singapore Blog Award 2013, I hope I have already had your support by now. But even if you aren't sure whether or not I deserve your vote, take your time and read on. 

In this blog entry, I'm going to share with you my person Levi's 501 Interpretation which I found it very interesting and challenging at the same time. Before the award finalists were announced officially, we attended a casual meeting with Levi's & Omy peeps to get more information about the brand and to take a look at what's new in store. Looking at their latest collection, I was so excited to think about how should I wear Levi's jeans. Suddenly, I was told that there isn't any 501 jeans for women sold in Singapore, they are only for men *sad face*, I then realized this could be a big challenge as it's impossible for me to fit into man's jeans even in the smallest size. How? 

After visiting Levi's store twice last week and spending a week to brainstorm my outfit idea, I finally had my perfect Levi's 501 Interpretation to share with you. And so, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! 

Here is how I wore Levi's 501 men jeans! 

I used to wear slim fit jeans as I believed they would give me extra height credits and make me look sexy. Levi's 501 proved me wrong! 


Never thought of wearing a comfortable pair of jeans could still look so fashionable and chic! I love how much comfort the jeans give me especially around the waist area yet never lose their silhouette. Also, the large pockets are brilliant ideas for me to keep my iPhone whilst strong stitchings make me feel the power of a modern woman. When pairing 501 jeans with a blazer, they seem to make a perfect match!


Just in case you don't know, this is called boyfriend jeans style which is making a huge trend right now.  Suddenly I felt, wearing boyfriend jeans has never been easier and every girl should have at least one boyfriend jeans in her wardrobe. I have one for myself now! Thank you Levi's 501!

After all, you still hesitate to wear them because of your curve and height? I have some good advices for you on "How to wear boyfriend jeans?"

1. Find the jeans that fit your waist area and opt for straight cut. Make sure they are not too baggy. 

2. Don't be afraid to roll them up to create cropped look. Boyfriend jeans look great when they are rolled and paired with everything. 


3. Blazers and T-shirts are boyfriend jeans' best friends. While blazers will give you chic and stylish look, T-shirts will make you feel more casual and relaxing. 


4. Accessories are keys to give you more feminine touch. I chose statement necklace since the rest of the outfit are pretty simple. 



5. If you are petite like me, NEVER go out without a pair of high heels. They will always make you look taller and sexier.


In short, have you had any pair of Levi's 501 jeans yet? If not, I suggest you should get one for yourself. Or better still, buy one for your boyfriend and you can wear his jeans *Psstt, it's a secret*. How excited it is to think about wearing your boyfriend's jeans without him knowing it! I find it really cool. 

Want to know more about Levi's, check out their Website , Levi's 501 website and follow them on Facebook.

I hope this blog post will give you an idea to try something new and if you love what you are seeing here, I think I DESERVE YOUR VOTE! 

Please click HERE to find out how to vote for me! 

Thank you so much for reading and I'll talk to you again soon in another Levi's 501 post.

It all started in April this year when Omy.SG - a Singapore's first bilingual-friendly (Chinese & English) interactive web portal by Singapore Press Holding (SPH) announced the return of Singapore Blog Award (SBA), I registered my blog under 3 categories which are relevant to my blog content: Singapore Best Fashion Blog, Levi's 501 Best Interpretation (sponsored by Levi's) and Glossi Best Modeling Blog (sponsored by Nanyang Optical). Despite, my blog managed to get into top 10 Best Fashion Blogs in 2012 , I wasn't sure if I would have any luck this year as I saw the large number of nominations.

{EVENT}: FURLA CANDYBRISSIMA SHOW TOUR

{EVENT}: FURLA CANDYBRISSIMA SHOW TOUR

May 30, 2013


Last Thursday 23rd May 2013, I was invited to attend an event and to witness an Italian fashion accessories house FURLA celebrated the opening of its world traveling pop-up showcase, Candybrissima at Paragon mall atrium in Singapore.  


Arriving at the event. 


Sherlene accompanied that night. She is also the person behind many beautiful outfit photos of mine that you saw on my blog. Say Hi to her! :) 


Another beautiful shot taken by the photographer at the event. 

The opening party was graced by the Ambassador of Italy to Singapore, H.E Paolo Crudele and his wife, Mdm Sara Crudele Fernandez, together with Mr. Alessandro Bartoli, CEO of FURLA Asia Pacific. After travelling various cities including Milan, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, the much anticipated fashion-meets-art opening night was a summit of more than 200 guests including notable faces from the local fashion and arts scene; they include, New York based Singaporean actress Elizabeth Lazan, local film-maker, Royston Tan and award-winning Singaporean illustrator artist Tan Zi Xi.

 The event was hosted by the beautiful Stephanie Carrington whom I really love talking to even though I only met her twice. She is a drop-dead gorgeous and super friendly person. 


The fun celebration event highlighted friends of FURLA making of their very own art version of the candy bags at the creative laboratory. MTV VJ, Hanli Hoefer, model and journalist, Stephanie Chai, project director for Blueprint 2013, Tracy Philips, local designer and artist Grace Tan celebrated the opening and kicked started with a showcase performance/creation. 
The guest performers created unique art designs of the Candy bag from deconstructed parts of a typical FURLA candy bag, using a variety of materials like yarn, chain, studs, cord, ribbons and more.

Celebrating the Candy Bag, FURLA’s worldwide best-seller, the Candybrissima World Tour is a worldwide travelling art installation and performance concept that showcases a pop-up creative laboratory featuring art students dressed in white lab coats, in a continuous assembly of one-of a kind of art designs of the Candy bag. Combining art and fashion in a live performance style, it is here in Singapore from May 24 to 25, giving local fashion, art and design enthusiasts a chance to go all out and put together their own version of the FURLA Candy bag. Singapore will be the last stop and closing performance for this unique show. 




In conjunction with Candybrissima’s show tour, FURLA also launched two special edition Candy Bags — Candy Sunset, which is the ombre-designed range that comes in four different assortment of colours and constructed in a clear, rubber body, and the Candy Cookie, which is the downsized and reinterpreted adaptation of the original Candy bag, available in a timeless charcoal hue and five different charming sugary shades. You can find Candy Sunset and Candy Cookie available at all FURLA boutiques.

Myself with Stephanie Carrington. 

And myself with the cutest mini Candy bag.
