Crystal's Closet: The Power of Emerald

Crystal's Closet: The Power of Emerald

February 07, 2013
Hi everyone,

This is going to be a very quick blog entry from me before I fly off to Hanoi tomorrow morning. I was bored while doing my packing half way and didn't know what else to pack. So I thought, "Let have a break by doing something else more interesting". I'm quite sure after I finish this blog post, I'll probably know what else do I need to bring to Vietnam *as usual*. 

On Monday, I had a meeting at my client's office where it is very close to the Botanical Garden. Because I wasn't prepared for outfit of the day photo-shoot, so I purposely dressed up pretty simple that day. I need a break from "trying to look glamorous all the time", you know? Being a full time fashion blogger is never an easy job.

Anyway, back to Botanical Garden subject. When we were there, we couldn't resist a quick photo snapping session as everything around us made a perfect backdrop. Besides, not everyday I could be at Botanical Garden for photo taking. So here we go! 

Please, let's pay attention on my Emerald jewelry instead.  







Emerald is POWER STONE that offers physical, emotional and spiritual balance. It's most frequently recommended for the "wounded healer". It also encourages spiritual growth, clear vision, memory, faith, intelligence and communication, inspiration, joy, intuition, clairvoyance, sensuality, love, romance, beauty, harmony, tranquility, serenity, clarity, cleansing, justice, friendship and unity. 

 Pairing my emerald stone jewelry with white dress wasn't a tough choice to make as white color works perfectly with any opposite colors on the color wheel. But it was my coincident choice that emerald is a the symbol of balancing and healing whilst white color means purity, innocence and goodness. They complemented each other in one way or another or at least are related. 

Green shoes to make the entire look complete.

::Outfit::
White dress: MDS Collection (Similar here or here)
Shoes: The Island Shop (Similar here)
Accessories: Alexander McQueen Skull bangle - French Connection charm bracelet
Crystal's Closet necklace (Similar here)


"Holding on and staying focused. Every cloud has a silver lining". That is my caption for this photo :D

I hope you enjoy this refreshing look as much as I do. In fact, I think I need to wear emerald stone jewelry more often. It will help me to stay focused on what I'm doing, to give me clear vision and healing power to face many obstacles and challenges. 

What would be your favorite gemstone? Do you believe in the power of gemstone to our daily life? Share with me in the comment section. 

Til then, I'll talk to you again. The next Crystal's Closet entry will be WINTER FASHION!!!! :D I'm so excited. 

Back to my packing now, I have 5 hours left....

Love,
Crystal

Crystal's Closet: Little Black Dress

Crystal's Closet: Little Black Dress

February 03, 2013
Hi everyone,

Finally, January was over. It was such a long and stressful month for me with so many things went up and down. Nevertheless, I'm glad it ended well and I'm still standing here with my head up high. In Western calendar, it's beginning of 2013 but in our Chinese calendar, there are 7 more days to 2013. I can't wait for 2012 (lunar calendar that is) to be over as it wasn't a good year after all. In the next blog entry, I'll reveal to you what happened. 

For now, let's talk about my outfit last Friday, shall we? 

I decided to put on the little black dress with strappy booties and simple accessories for Friday. It's a good excuse for fancier and sexier outfit. 


This black bodycon dress I bought in 2011 during my trip to Los Angeles. I've worn it less than 5 times and It's still one of my favorites so far.


Love the cutting, the material and especially the long zip at the back.

Spike accessories are all over the place this season. 

Citrine armcandy with skull bangle. 


Uber love with these gorgeous strappy booties from Charles & Keith. :D

::Outfit::
Little black dress: Forever21 (old)- Similar here
Belt: Bebe (Similar here)
Necklace: Asos-  Max & Chloe skull bangle -
Shoes: Charles & Keith (old)
Watch: Swarovski 

I used to wear black dress very often and whenever I go shopping, my eyes are always glued to the black dresses first. They are so sexy, mysterious, and classy.
What is your favorite little black dress in your closet? Do you wear them often? Please share with me at the comment section below.
Thank you so much for reading. 4 more days to my Vietnam trip, I'm dying for this now. I really need to have a getaway trip and to be surrounded by love. But no matter what, I'll try to blog often. I promise. Talk to you soon.
Love,
Crytal

Crystal's Closet: Keep Calm and Dress Up Cool!

Crystal's Closet: Keep Calm and Dress Up Cool!

January 31, 2013
Hi everyone! 

Don't you realize that January is ending very soon? The first month of 2013 was gone just like that. Where did my month go? It seems our time is getting shorter and our life speed is getting faster and faster everyday. Sometimes, we are too busy to chase for things and are swept away by all the stress, worry, problems in life. We never have time for our self to relax, enjoy what we are having. 

In fact, I was driven crazily last month and this month due to my work load, commitments and targets. I felt so stressful in beginning of the month that I couldn't have good sleep for few days. Sometimes, I wish January could last a bit longer. On the other hand, I wish it could end really soon so I could call it a month and relax. Anyway, I'm almost there. *counting down*.

Back to my outfit of the day, I decided to put on the "Relax" sweater which I bought a while ago and layered it with a floral shirt underneath. In fact, Sweater- Shirt- Jeans pairing is very popular trend that is favored by many fashion bloggers and I'm not an exception. I find it so effortlessly stylish and cool yet comfortable and relaxing. 

 Unique location for our photoshoot today :D






 Accessories are always a MUST but don't go overflow. A fancy arm-candy and simple necklace would do the job.




Floral shirt: Brooks Brothers
Colorblocked sweater: Forever21
Heels: Jessica Simpson 
Accessories: Forever21 bracelet- 
Alexander McQueen Skull Bracelet- 
Crystal's Closet leaf necklace.

How do you find this outfit? I know Singapore weather is too hot to wear this but you can always find very light material shirts and sweaters every where. I love this outfit and I'm going to rock it again when I'm in Vietnam next week. 

I hope you enjoyed some fun photos we took today. Thank you so much for reading my blog and always remember: RELAX!
Love,
Crystal

Crystal's Closet: This Girl Is On Fire.

January 29, 2013
Hey everyone,

Just a quick update from me today as I don't have time to write much. It's getting really tough for me to do many things equally good at the same time. I have no idea why recently I blog so often as if it's my full time job, I just do. The more I blog, the more I feel passionate about how to make my blog better, to grow it bigger and bigger.

I've met more advertisers recently and I'm just so excited about some collaborations coming up. I'll reveal soon when time comes *wink*.

Today was such a hectic day. I ran to meetings after meetings and I didn't have time to eat until 3pm. No matter how busy I am, however, I'll never forget for an outfit of the day shoot whenever I can. 

I was wearing nude color suede skirt (one of my favorite skirts) with chili red blouse and nude pointy toe pumps. I don't know why but I love pairing beige/ nude color with red. The beige color really brings out the redness but also tones down the loudness at the same time. 



High waist flare skirt emphasizes on your waist area and gives extra femininity 


 Gold choker necklace to highlight the outfit. 

Little red here and there. 

Nude pumps can never go wrong with any outfit. 


Complete your look with a pair of matching colored earrings. 

 and a SMILE: That's the best accessories a girl can wear. 

::Outfit::
Red blouse: Bebe (Similar here)
Skirt: Crystal's Closet (old)- Similar here or here
Pumps: ALDO (Similar here and here)
Accessories: Forever21 necklace - Forever21 bangle (old) (Similar here) - Forever21 ring (old)

Hope you like the outfit and I'll come back with more creative outfits and pairing soon.
Love,
Crystal

Crystal's Closet: Underneath the big tree

Crystal's Closet: Underneath the big tree

January 27, 2013
Last Friday, I was having a meeting with client at their premises located on top of a hill in Phoenix Park  and that's where we got all these beautiful photos taken. What I love about my job is the ability and flexibility for me to visit many different places in Singapore in a day. It gives me many great locations for my outfit photoshoot. You have seen quite many of them so far and this is one examples. 

When we were at Phoenix park, I & Alicia had hard time to find the right location because it was too sunny at 2.30pm outside. Some good locations were occupied by people, vehicles, etc...At last, we found a big tree near by the car park area and we decided to make it as our back drop for the photo. This is how it turned out.  











::Outfit::
Dress: BEBE (old)- Similar here
Swarovski watch- 
Swarvoski transparent bracelet - 
Forever21 bangle (Similar here)


Looked like I was standing in the forest, a garden or something but it's wasn't. How beautiful to see such greenery area in the heart of the busy city. They make us feel so relaxed and refreshing.
Weekend is over and we are now getting ready for a new week, to achieve new goals and target. I hope you have a pleasant and fruitful week ahead. Will talk to you again soon!

Love,
Crystal
