{SHOP}: ONLINE SHOPPING ON CRYSTAL'S CLOSET!

{SHOP}: ONLINE SHOPPING ON CRYSTAL'S CLOSET!

August 22, 2013
 Hi everyone, 

This is no longer a secret! I'm now bursting with excitement to announce the project I've been working on for months. It is called "My Crystal's Closet". I was supposed to write about it it much sooner but due to some technical issues and my super duper busy schedule, I had to leave it till now. 

First, let's me ask you some questions! 

Do you love online shopping? I know I'm a crazy online shoppaholic. 
Do you love branded shoes, designer handbags and cloths? I assume most girls do. 
Now, the next question is: Where to get the cheapest designer handbags, shoes and accessories? Honestly, I do not know. But there is one thing I know for sure is buying branded handbags, cloths, shoes directly from US, UK, Italy websites (those trusted and reputable websites) is always cheaper than buying at the physical stores here in Singapore. Trust me, I learned my lesson when I first traveled to US in 2011 and saw with my own eyes how much things are cheaper in US than in Singapore. Since then, I have been buying mostly my branded cloths, bags or shoes from US websites and shipping it to Singapore. I save a lot of money. 

You may say: "But shipping is so expensive". Well, I've got you covered. 

Basically, My Crystal's Closet is my personal page created to help you find your most favorite fashion items at great price and to give you the worry-free online shopping experience when it comes to authenticity and shipping cost. Each week, I'll feature my most favorite picks from different online shopping websites. Some websites even offer FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE to make your life easier. You can also let me know what items are you looking for, I'll try my best to be your good online-personal shopper at no extra charge. Unless you want to give me some tips, I won't mind! :D

Anyway, cut the long story short, here is what My Crystal's Closet has found for you:

1. Branded Handbags
2. Shoes


3. Accessories

4. Cloths

Click HERE to shop for more items! If you would like to know what's new every week (every Sunday), please follow me on Facebook as I'll be sharing my weekly pick there. And oh, please don't forget to leave a comment below and let me know what you think so that I can improve this shopping site much better. 

Last but not least, thank you so much for reading, everyone! I really appreciate your time on my blog. 

I hope you have wonderful day and enjoy shopping here with me! 

Love,
Crystal

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: LEOPARD PRINT DRESS

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: LEOPARD PRINT DRESS

August 18, 2013

The popular leopard print has made a bold enter into fashion industry and claimed its prime spot in the closet of many women and girls including mine. Like it or not, leopard print is still a strong basic pattern that can be called a statement piece on it own. 

 Every once in a while, whenever I feel like being wild and adventurous in dressing-up, I'll think of the leopard dress. While some women may balk at the thought of wearing animal print dress on their date night, I find it perfect to wear this eye-catching outfit even to go to work. There are few simple reasons why I love wearing leopard dress. The ultimate reason, perhaps, is that it doesn't require so much work. Literally, It saves me a lot of time and troubles from finding the matching accessories to complement my clothes. Even if there are any accessories, they should be just simple and minimal. 

To create a sultry, yet polished look with my leopard print dress, I added red details by wearing the beaded necklace, bracelet and high heels just to attract more attention to the entire outfit. Last but not least, I have to admit, leopard print dress is the best excuse for me to put on my bright, red lipstick whenever I feel like wearing it. Be it morning, evening or night, this classic combination of a leopard dress and a red lipstick is a perfect cure whenever I need to attend some events but feel lazy to put on heavy make-up and dress up. 

 But really, even with all the tips and tricks I'm sharing with you above, you still need to have one last important accessories in order to pull this outfit off: CONFIDENCE and a BIG SMILE. 






Hope you like the outfit as much as I do. If you are looking for more style tips, click HERE to find out how I wore leopard outfits. 

 Thank you so much for reading.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: DENIM ON DENIM

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: DENIM ON DENIM

August 13, 2013

Greetings from Vietnam, everyone!

 Ok! I kid as I'm not in Vietnam right now. I was there 2 weeks ago and this shortest trip (only 3 days) has left me such a strong feeling that It made me feel like I came back Singapore just yesterday.

 Nothing fancy. I spent most of my time there with my family eating, watching TV and playing with my nephew whom you are about to see his cuteness overload on this blog entry for the first time.


My brother offered a helping hand to take my outfit photos in front of our house where the white gate was; and when we were busy trying to get some shots done before the sky went dark, THIS little monster came out and insisted on appearing on all of my photos.

Introducing to you, my most favorite baby on earth: Miu!

 Miu is his nickname we used to call him at home, his actual name is longer and I doubt you could remember it, so let's just call him as Miu for now. Plus, Miu sounds super cute. I'm always amazed at how Miu strikes a pose in front of the camera without anyone telling him what to do. He does it nicely and properly. Look at his pose in the photo below!

Who taught him to pose like that? I didn't. I begin to think that at 2 years old, he is going to outplay me very soon in terms of modeling and posing for camera. Every time I take my camera out, he must ask me to take photo of him. Worse still, he assumes that I'm going to take photos of him, so he poses and smiles before I even say Yes. I'm not even exaggerating. 

Wearing my favorite denim outfit sponsored by #Levis last month during Singapore Blog Award. I love how this denim shirt fits me perfectly and brings out the curve of my body yet still makes me look very comfortable and effortlessly chic. 


No outfit is complete without some accessories: necklace, bracelet, cool sunglasses and rings. These are probably some stuffs that I will never leave the house without. 



What do you think of this outfit? Have you ever tried to rock denim on denim style before? If not, shop for my outfit here.

Denim vest: Levi's - Similar here
Denim shorts: Levi's - Similar here
Sunglasses: Rayban. 
Wedges sneakers: Sketchers- Similar here
Gold necklace: Guess - Similar here and here

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: LACE UP

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: LACE UP

August 10, 2013

Nothing brings me closer to the feeling of femininity and sensuality than a lace skirt. Not only that, but my femininity level is boosted up even higher whenever I put a lace skirt on. I dare not walk so big steps as I'm afraid the fragile lacy fabric will be torn any moment. The beautiful delicate floral lace over lay on the black pencil skirt added a romantic twist to the entire outfit that I was wearing. From romantic look for a Friday date night to a fun, flirty minis on Saturday evening, this sexy fabric piece is all you need. And don't think lace skirts aren't appropriate for work. Whoever said that office attires should only be conservative with black, white, grey pants, shirts or skirts obviously didn't know how to dress up. 

I wore this beautiful lace skirt to work last week and absolutely loved how it made me feel so motivated, confident and professional when meeting with few clients in a day.  In fact, lace outfits aren't new. They have been around for the longest time and have been coming back every single year. Yet, people never get bored of this trend. I know I haven't grown tired of them, not any time soon. Even though, I don't wear it very often but lace skirts, dresses or tops are always one of my most favorites list and I find it difficult to count how many lace outfits I have owned so far. 















Do you have any lace skirt, top or dress in your wardrobe yet? How do you style them? When do you usually wear them? Please share with me in the comment section below, I would love to hear. And if you haven't had ANY lace item in your closet, it's time to shop for one NOW. Happy Lacy Day! 

Thank you so much for reading!

Happy weekend, everyone!

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: STRIPES OBSESSION.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: STRIPES OBSESSION.

August 07, 2013

I must admit, there is one type of outfit that I keep going back to recently is striped outfit. You've probably seen me wearing and blogging about it many times here yet I still find it difficult to cover all different styles and pairings for this simple and classic fashion staple. 

 People often put a blame on horizontal stripes for making the wearers look bigger than their actual size  but that is not true. I've ever seen a lady whose size is 3 times bigger than mine yet still looked so elegant, chic and beautiful in her striped outfit. Perhaps, it still points down to "How you wear your outfit" at the end of the day. 

 Last week, I attempted to go all the way with stripes on stripes outfit to go to work and to see how it turned out. I could't complain much as even with the #breton stripes covered me from head to toe,  I DID NOT find my body grow any extra inches horizontally. With the red blazer layered on top, I was very comfortable in my own skin and ready to run many meetings in a day. 























In conclusion, there is nothing scary about a stripe. This, in fact, is a classic pattern that is so flattering  and fun to wear. If you love striped outfits but don't know what are the tips and tricks? click HERE to read more.  

Thank you so much for reading everyone. 
I'll talk to you soon. 
Love, 
Crystal
