CRYSTAL'S CLOSET: THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS MET GLOSSI

CRYSTAL'S CLOSET: THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS MET GLOSSI

June 20, 2013
Hi everyone,

Today I'm going to share with you another outfit pairing with the Glossi Eyewear which I believe everyone will find it simple and easy to create a style called your own: the Little Black Dress (LBD). When it comes to wardrobe staples, there is nothing more classic, elegant, sexy and versatile than a little black dress. I have so many black dresses in different styles, sizes, length and materials to rock for one monthlong without having to repeat. So I thought, it could be a big mistake if I did NOT attempt to wear any of my favorite black dress with the new favorite eyewear- Glossi. 

Last week, I and my personal photographer Alicia went to Marina Bay Sands late afternoon around 6.30pm to have our photos taken. The weather wasn't very co-operative as it was so gloomy after a heavy rain. I felt so disappointed -_-. Nevertheless, we had our photos taken quickly before the sky went completely dark. 

Looking at how the photos turned out, I couldn't complain much. Here is the story of my Little Black Dress met Glossi Eyewear. 




You've seen how I pulled off the Glossi Eyewear in many different styles before: business, casual, glamour and sweet but there is nothing like the style that you are seeing here right now. The same pair of sunglasses gave me a total new different character and personality: elegant, mysterious, serious and confident of a strong, independent woman who knows exactly what she wants and how to get it. 

I've been wearing this eyewear every single day when I first brought it home in May. Whether I'm out for meetings, brunch, travel, shopping etc..., Glossi Eyewear has the amazingly unique and versatile factor that fits in any activity that I'm involved. As such, it is ALWAYS with me.



Besides being just a pair of sunglasses, Glossi Eyewear also plays an important role as accessories added onto my daily outfit. It does not only fit my face well but also compliment my face shape with its frame.





The photo doesn't do any justice but if you have chance to hold a pair of Glossi sunglasses by yourself, you'll find it extremely lightweight and glossy (as the brandname itself). Besides, the hand-stitching of Nylon string to join the frame front to the temple or top is another thing I love about this unique eyewear.

 I guess, you just have to touch and feel it in person as words are not enough to describe how unique and brilliant of the eyewear, whom recently won the Red Dot Product Design Award 2012 is.

 With this Little Black Dress outfit pairing added into my Glossi Eyewear Style Diary, I believe it has given you more and more ideas of how to wear your Glossi eyewear. I hope you like the outfits as much as I created them. If you want to get the same sunglasses like mine, visit Glossi website  to find out where you can get it and follow them on Facebook to get their latest update. 

Thank you so much for reading!

{COLLABORATION}: GLOSSI GLAMOUR IN STYLE

{COLLABORATION}: GLOSSI GLAMOUR IN STYLE

June 16, 2013
Hi everyone, 

I'm so excited about the look I'm going to share with you in this blog entry as this is considered my "trade-mark" style. I'll leave it to you to find out what my style is and I believe it won't be very difficult if you have been following my fashion diary from the start. 

This is the third outfit pairing with Glossi Eyewear sponsored by Nanyang Optical. In the previous 2 blog posts, I have shown you 2 different outfit ideas with Glossi Eyewear: business woman look and semi-casual look. Are you ready for the new look with Glossi? 

Here it is! Presenting to you: 



























::Outfit:
Nautical dress: Kate Spade New York - Similar here
Sunglasses: Glossi Eyewear
Suede pumps: Heels - Similar here and here
Accessories: 
Forever21 bracelet (old)- Similar here
Max & Chloe earrings (old)- Similar here

I found myself a new love when I was shopping the other day: Nautical stripes dress accompanied with a stylish, young and vibrant eyewear that are perfect for Summer. There are certain Summer fashion trends that never go out of the way: floral, color-block, prints and nautical. Of course, a pair of sunglasses is my must- have item whenever I'm out and about at anytime, any place. 

 Loving how the nautical A-line dress gave me the sweet, young and refreshing look while the Glossi Eyewear added Glamour flavor into it instantly the moment I wore it on. Everything was so light, from the silky material of the dress to the strong, flexible Nylon Compound glasses frames, I had no excuse for not enjoying the golden- yellow sunshine, blue sky and strong wind that Summer has to offer. 

 I've been talking so much in my previous blog posts about how special Glossi Eyewear is. Besides the hand stitch with elastic Nylon string to give flexibility and cushioning to the opening and closing of the temple, the unique reflective frame- front with patterns, I absolutely love how versatile Glossi Eyewear is. Whether you are going for a casual, fun, retro, classic, elegant, rocky, glamourous or funky look, the glasses have the X-factor to fit the bill perfectly. 

 As for this glamour in style outfit, I chose skinny belt and beaded earrings in same color with the dress and completed everything with a pair of bright, eye-catching glasses. If you are going on a date, this look will definitely help you to get your man's attention. 

 Hope you like this sweet and romantic look that I created. If you want to get the same sunglasses like mine, visit Glossi website  to find out where you can get it and follow them on Facebook to get their latest update. 

Thank you so much for reading! Have a great weekend everyone!

CRYSTAL'S CLOSET: LEVI'S CURVE

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. 





::Outfit::
Blouse: Levi's
Jeans: Levi's - Similar here
Heels: Cesare Paciotti (Similar here)
Accessories: 
Forever21 necklace - Similar here
Lovisa heart rings (Similar here and here) - Swarvoski watch
Wedges Sneakers: Isabel Marant


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

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

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.
