CRYSTAL'S CLOSET: LEVI'S CURVE

June 14, 2013

Hi everyone,

What usually comes to your mind when you think of buying a pair of jeans? Size, shape, material, or color? The first thing that comes to my mind is always the shape. As I'm a small girl at 5' something, I particularly pay more attention to any jeans that are slim-fitting and give me more curve and height credits. I, somewhat, always ended up buying GUESS, ZARA, Cotton On Jeans but hardly found a pair of jeans that I considered Perfection.

And because many years ago, Levi's jeans in my eyes were the jeans for men only (based on many advertisements I saw), I thought there wasn't anything in store for me. Thus, I never stepped in. Saying this might not give me any advantage especially when Levi's sponsores me the whole outfit that you are going to see below but oh well, at least I'm honest.

There is a first time for everything.

My first time trying on the Levi's Curve jeans was a mind-opening experience. I'm not even kidding. Why are they so fitting? Why are they so curvy? Why the length of the jeans is so perfect? Why are they so comfortable? I got myself lost in so many "Why" questions especially "Why did I NOT wear any Levi's Jeans before?

The outfit I was wearing is from Levi's Spring/ Summer Collection 2013. Vibrant, youthful colors are what you will see in their store. It wasn't easy for me to pick one item only among many other incredible items like shirts, shorts, jeans, dresses etc... as I wanted all of them. At last, I decided to go for jeans and shirt pairing as I thought this look would be versatile and dynamic enough for everyone to wear.

If you want to go out for brunch, shopping or walking around with your friends, I would recommend you to wear this outfit with a pair of wedges sneakers for the sake of comfort.

But if you are up to a casual date night or even a party, put on your favorite heels and you are ready to go.

I also love how soft and comfortable the shirt material is. It feels like touching my own skin.

The Levi's Jeans I was wearing are called Demi Curve which frames perfect proportions by flattering the waist and smoothing the overall silhouette. There are 2 more types available for you. While "Bold Curve" honors real curves and celebrate true feminine contours, "Slight Curve" celebrates straight figures by defining the waist and accentuating curves. If you are unsure which type will look great on you, please feel free to ask the sales staffs, they are very friendly and helpful.

Curve from the front

To the back. Levi's ever once said "It's about the shape, not the size" and I couldn't agree more. In fact, Levi's designers studied the bodies of more than 60,000 women to develop three custom fits based on the difference between the measurement of a woman's hip and seat- the greater the difference, the curvier the body.

I didn't even have to adjust the length at all, the jeans just fit me so perfectly to my utmost surprise.

I was also attracted to the creative idea of white jeans with purple as secondary/ highlighted color on the inner side. It's like a peek-a-boo when you fold the hems upward.

Matching belt and accessories to add in the final touch.

Have these curvy jeans made you feel the itch of getting them home yet? If you are still wondering whether or not Levi's has any pair of jeans that fits you, I suggest you give it a try. I bet you would not want to buy jeans from any other brands after that like I did.

Good luck in finding your favorite jeans and I hope this blog entry has given you some good tips and information.

Thank you so much for reading everyone.

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!

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.

::Outfit::

Blouse: Forever21- Similar here

Skirt: Forever21- Similar here

Heels: ALDO- Similar here or here

Eyewear: Glossi

Accessories: Forever21 rings - arrow ring- heart ring

Are you a eyewear lover? What would you consider in getting a pair of glasses? price, style, color or comfort? Please feel free to leave me any comment in the section below to let me know.

Meanwhile, If you enjoy reading this blog entry, viewing the photos I took and if you think that I deserve your vote, please VOTE FOR ME.

COLLABORATION Crystalscloset Levi’s Levi’s 501 Levi’s 501 Interpretation omySG SBA singapore blog award What’s Your 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.
