NEW YORK FASHION WEEK SS15 DAY 3

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK SS15 DAY 3

September 09, 2014


Arriving New York two days after New York Fashion Week (#NYFW) started, I had only one evening to settle down, to rest after 25 hour flight journey and to get ready for the next morning. Day 3 of New York Fashion Week (#NYFW) was indeed day 1 for me. Despite the jet lag, I made sure myself to be focused and awake at all time to follow the super overwhelming NYFW schedule I had in hands. 

This was my very first time attending #NYFW, first time visiting Lincoln Center, thus everything was new to me. I didn't know what to expect, neither did I know what would happen when I stepped inside the venue. I thought it was probably similar to some fashion weeks I attended in Singapore. 

I was so wrong. 

Right after I stepped out of the cab, I was immediately captured by some street style photographers standing at the entrance. Some took photos of my hair while others took close up shots of my boots. Many photographers stopped me to request for photos, and the moment I stopped walking and started posing, the rest of the photographers came together and snapped their shutter away. They made me feel like I am a celebrity or something. 

I was so overwhelmed at first, but then quickly got my confidence to "deal with it", to relax myself and to start smiling for the cameras. It felt really good after a while. 

Surprisingly, this non-designer blue striped dress with a white cape blazer received so many compliments on that day. I bought the dress at different a vintage store in Singapore and the blazer online  a while ago. They are not expensive stuffs, but they look so well together, and they match perfectly with my hair, I decided to wear them on my first day at Fashion Week. It turned out to be the outfit that was captured the most by the paparazzi's lens. 

Perhaps, fashion is really not about what you wear, it's how you wear it. 







Thank you so much for reading!

{NYFW}: LIE SANGBONG SS15 "DREAM ROAD"

{NYFW}: LIE SANGBONG SS15 "DREAM ROAD"

September 07, 2014

I was so honored to be invited to a "Dream Road" with Mr. Lie and to witness his Spring Summer collection, presented at Mercedes-Benz Fashion week yesterday. The dreamlike and serene collection prominently features butterfly, floral, and cloud motifs. Graphic, lively prints are incorporated into this season's crisp color palate of white, turquoise, cobalt, and purple. 

Mr. Lie wanted to share the possibility that is brought by the beginning of  Spring and the promise of a new day. He incorporated his architectural silhouettes with precise tailoring to this ethereal collection. The "Dream Road" collection is impeccably constructed, yet light and lithe with an array of luxurious fabrics, including silk, linen, silk organza, silk chiffon and fine cotton. 

I'm obsessed with the "X-shaped" jackets and dresses that resemble the graceful wings of butterflies, dedicated pleating, asymmetrical details, and a unique hologram jacquard. My mind was blown away, my heart was skipped a beat, and my eyes were glued to every single piece on the runway, I fell head over heels in love with Lie Sangbong Spring/ Summer 2015 collection. There is no other dream I would rather have than a "Dream Road" with Lie Sangbong tonight. 

If you want to know how a Dream Road looks, you have to ask Mr. Lie or take a look at his Spring/ Summer collection. The collection will be available beginning in March 2015 in retailers across the globe, including the brand's first US boutique located at 30 Gansevoort St in New York city.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: ORCHARD

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: ORCHARD

September 01, 2014

Living off Orchard road for more than 2 years, this is the first time I did a photo shoot at the most crowded, expensive and famous street of Singapore. Ask me why? I don't know. Perhaps, walking in and out, on Orchard everyday makes everything become normal to me. I see the same stores, the same advertisement showing across the street, and sometimes, the same uncle who tries to sell roasted chestnut to make his living. Slowly, I have forgotten how excited I felt when I had a chance to visit Orchard Road for the first time.

Very often, we take things for granted, and we will not realize it until something happens to hit us by chance.

I was hit by an email inviting me to take part in a Singapore memories campaign, in which, I was required to talk about my memory and journey that I had in Singapore. It was, of course, none other than a memory I had with Orchard. It's a place where I first started working in Singapore, and every friend of mine who heard its name, wished their office could be here.

Fast forward 5 years, I'm now living on Orchard Road. The street is still the same, but the girl (me) is now different. 5 years ago, I wore no make up, carried a tote bag that I bought overseas to work, and wished one day I could afford to buy a Forever21 dress. Today, I was caught on the street wearing Proenza Schouler bag, ZARA sweatshirt, Schutz shoes and Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses.

The only things that stay the same, perhaps, are my heart and my soul. I was wondering, if "Orchard Road" had eyes, he would be very happy to see how much this little girl has grown.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: FLAMINGO DREAM

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: FLAMINGO DREAM

August 26, 2014

If there is any pair of shoes that catches everyone's attention on the street, it has to belong to Sophia Webster. I'm saying this based on my own experience when I wore these Sophia Webster Riko heels out two weeks ago. Everyone looked at my feet first, then they looked at my face. I should feel upset about it, shouldn't I?.  But then again, how to blame them while I myself can't take my eyes off these little colorful Riko heels on my feet?

The more I'm obsessed with the shoes, the more I admire the designer herself. I salute the crazy creativity that Sophia Webster has to put into each pair of shoes. Coming from a designer who is a fan of girly charm and obsessed with a flamingo, all Sophia Webster's shoes are fun and colorful, sexy and feminine, quirky and chic. I'm a sucker for shoes like that. It's the reason why, I knew I had to bring 2 pairs of Sophia Webster's heels home, without any doubt, when I first saw them displayed in the store last month. 

It didn't take me a long time to decide what to wear with these colorful heels. Most of the time, my shoes emphasize to my outfit. I guess this time, the Riko heels made an exception, my outfit was a compliment to my shoes.

{SHOP}: SNEAKER STYLES

{SHOP}: SNEAKER STYLES

August 22, 2014

As much as I would like to stay faithful to the sexy stilettos, I do, however, feel like cheating on my favorite sky-high heels with a pair of geek-chic sneakers sometimes. Karl Lagerfelf brought a new "life" to these sneakers and made them look so effortlessly chic at the Chanel show earlier this year. Many celebrities, popular fashion bloggers are rocking sneakers on the street, even on the red carpet. There is no doubt that sneakers are on trend right now. 

With so many different styles, designs, and colors, it can be quite overwhelming to pick a right pair of sneakers for yourself. I feel you! I've been looking for a perfect pair of sneakers for a long time, and I finally found one on Shopbop, just about the right time for my trip to New York Fashion Week next month. I'm excited and nervous at the same time as this will be my very first time traveling alone in such a long-distance trip. I'll share more about New York when I'm actually there. 

For now, here are the super chic sneakers that I've picked on Shopbop. I've categorized them into 3 categories: Slip On, Low Top, High Top. These are my most favorite sneakers. They are not only comfortable, but also cute, chic and versatile. You can wear them with almost everything: jeans, skirt, dress, shorts, etc...

Do you have any pair of sneakers? What would be your favorite sneakers from the list below?
