Crystal's Closet: Color-blocking with peplum orange.

Crystal's Closet: Color-blocking with peplum orange.


Hi everyone,

Color-blocking trend is back...on my blog! I believe this trend will never be faded away no matter what year we live in. As Summer is just around the corner, it IS a perfect excuse to rock your colorful outfit. I can't wait to see more vibrant colors on the street this year.  

Besides, I wanted to brighten up myself (*my mood to be exact), so I decided to dress up more lively. Here is what I wore on Monday when I came back to work from my holiday.


Basic work shirt with peplum skirt. 

Love how the royal blue and orange compliments each other. 


As these 2 colors are already very loud, I decided to keep the accessories very minimal and simple. 

Layered gold necklaces. 


with my favorite, motivating arm-candy. 


and skull earrings to add little edgy to this look. 



 ::Outfit::
Shirt: G2000 (Similar here)
Skirt: Alice & Olivia (old) (Similar here)
Heels: Charles & Keith (old)
Necklace: Forever21
Earrings: ASOS (Similar here)
Bracelet: Lovisa (old) (Similar here)
Watch: Swarovski

That's all I have for today. I hope you like the outfit and hope it inspires you enough to try something new (if you have never worn color-blocked outfit before).

Before ending this entry, I just wanted to share with you a great news. I woke up this morning to a wonderful email telling me that I'm featured on Huffingtonpost.com. You can read the article HERE!  It's a digital newspaper in United States that features everything about fashion, beauty, politic, economy, etc...What a honor to have my outfit featured on their page! When I first started writing about Fashion, I had a dream that one day, I would be featured in some fashion websites. Believe it or not? It happened and I'm slowly getting there!

So my dear friends out there, please don't stop dreaming because one day your dream can come true! :)

Thank you so much for reading and supporting my blog once again.
Love,
Crystal

CELINE LO'S CREATION (PART 2)

CELINE LO'S CREATION (PART 2)


Sponsored post

Hi everyone,

As some of you already knew, most of my nail arts designs are done by Celine Lo's Creation. Read my first blog entry about their service here.
Thank to them, for the past 1 year, I've never had to leave my nails "naked" every time I go out for events, party, or show. The funny thing is: my nails always have people's attention first before I do simply because every conversation starts with a handshake. When people try to shake my hand, they can't help but look at my bling bling nails.

To be honest, I'm a picky person and I don't accept ANY sponsorship just because it's FREE. I would rather pay money to get what I love than have it for free and I hate it afterward. So after 6 months being their customer, I finally started the sponsorship with Celine Lo's Creations with joy.

Why do I love their service so much?

Look at their works and you'll know why. These are all the nail art designs they did for me past 5 months.

From Christmas nail art design

 to New Year 

to Chinese New Year nail art



and Nail art for Spring/ Summer




Celine is doing her thang...


 All these beautiful seasonal creations were done by Celine. She is such a creative and talented woman. Everytime I went to her, I just roughly told her what I wanted (*sometimes, I didn't even know what I wanted) and she just created something that went beyond my expectation. The purple nail arts above is an example.

What do you think about my nails? Do you want to try at least once? Here is the sweet treat especially for you, my lovely blog readers.

QUOTE "CRYSTAL88" to enjoy full set hard/soft gel manicure with full art (like what I'm having here) at only S$88 (Normal price is S$130- S$150). Promotion is valid til 25th May 2013. 

I'm not over-complimenting them but even with their normal price, Celine's gelish nail art price is still so much lower than other nail salons. At least, she didn't charge you on every single crystal on your nail like other salons do.

HURRY UP! This is one of the best offer that you don't want to miss. SMS 9181 2799 and quote "Crystal88" when making an appointment.

There are so many other beautiful designs she created, simple go to her Facebook page, follow her on Instagram and check out the Website for daily nail art update. I'm sure you can find some designs for yourself.

Good luck!
Love,
Crystal

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: FLORAL PRINT

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: FLORAL PRINT


Hi everyone,

This is going to be a very short blog entry from me as I only have 1 hour left before heading to the airport. I'm going to Houston tonight if some of you already heard me mentioning on Facebook/ Twitter a week ago. It was a crazily busy day for me today. I had only 9 hours to finish my 3 meetings in the afternoon, to get my nails done, to buy a laptop bag and of course to pack. Well, guess what? I completed all the tasks in 7 hours only. I'm so proud of my multi-tasking skill, lolz. 

Now, when I'm having some time to relax and not to worry about anything. I START FEELING EXCITED about this trip! My boyfriend has been asking me many time "Are you excited?" but I was too occupied with things to feel anything. The only one thing that I'm not excited about: 28 hours flight :(. 

I'll keep you guys posted whenever I can, but til the next blog entry (which I don't know when), here is the outfit post for you:

I wore this floral bodycon dress to work and finished it with a blazer for a semi-formal look. My job requires me to meet with many advertisers, clients, sponsors in a day so dressing up formally is usually a must. Fortunately, I don't have to strictly follow black pants- white shirt kinda corporate outfit everyday, so I have my freedom to wear whichever is appropriate and looks good on me.

This is one example. 










Turquoise & gold arm-swag. 

A big smile for the day. 


And the super sweet floral handbag from Kate Spade. 


Oh, I also managed to find my old statement necklace which happens to match with the colors of the flowers.



When taking off the blazer, this would by the type of outfit I will wear for the night out. 


What do you think about this semi-formal outfit? Please leave me some comments in the comment section below.


That's all for today, guys. It's time for me to go to airport, I'll talk to you guys real soon.
Muahxxxx
Love,
Crystal
::Outfits::
Floral dress: Forever21 (old)
Blazer: H&M (Similar here)
Handbag: Kate Spade (old)
Shoes: Dolce Vita

Crystal's Closet: Hot Pink & Lace

Crystal's Closet: Hot Pink & Lace


Hi everyone!

I hope you had a relaxing weekend and your new week will be great. My weekend was full of activities and events. I was invited to Spiffy Dapper, a vintage bar just newly opened along Boat Quay on Friday, went to attend the OMG Paradise Cover Girl Search contest on Saturday night & went for dance practice on Sunday. I was supposed to attend another beauty event on Friday, but I had to cancel due to my tight schedule *sad face*.

For some reasons, I always receive so many invitations to events, product launch, blogger party, etc.... when my traveling date is near. I'm traveling again, yes! Now, I can finally announce: I'm going to Houston (US) for 1 week of holiday. 

As usual, before I travel, I always have tons of things to accomplish and that also means, the new week is going to be crazily busy for me. Oh well, it's good to be busy, isn't it?

Nevertheless, no matter how busy I am, I will try my best to blog whenever I can. For now, here is the new outfit of the day post for you. 

Last week, I wore this fuchsia pencil skirt with lace blouse to work. The weather was so hot that even the lace material didn't help to make me feel any cooler. As you may know, I'm a huge fan of lace. I find it extremely sexy, classic and fun. When choosing lace outfit, don't forget to wear a camisole underneath so you don't distract from intricacy from the lace. 





 I gotta love any skirt with the back split design, so sexy! 


Brighten up the black lace with fuchsia statement necklace and arm-candy. Playing with colors & texture is my very often used pairing technique in my daily outfits. You've probably seen many of them if you have been following Crystal's Closet series. 



::Outfit::
Lace shirt: ZARA (old)- (Similar here)
Pencil skirt: Forever21 (old) (Similar here)
Camisole top: ZARA (Similar here)
Shoes: Dolce Vita (old)
Sunglasses: Ray Ban

Would you dare to rock this outfit? If yes, simply click on the links above to the websites where you can buy all the items (similar ones) that I featured in this blog entry. 

Last but not least, thank you everyone who voted for me in the BIG BLOG EXCHANGE challenge. Voting is ongoing until April, so please if you haven't voted for me, I need your support.

CLICK HERE & you'll find the VOTE button on the page! Click on the Vote button and confirm your voting in the email confirmation sent to you by the organizer. 

Thank you so much once again! I'll talk to you again soon.

Love,
Crystal
