(EVENT): LEVI'S 501 PARTY!

(EVENT): LEVI'S 501 PARTY!

May 26, 2013


Last Wednesday, I was invited by Levi's and OmySG to attend the most happening and exciting party to celebrate the 140th birthday of Levi's iconic & original 501 Jeans. Hosted by 987fm DJs: The Double Ds, Muttons, The Rude Awakening (Bobby & Rozz) and Sonia Chew, the event attracted many people including media guests, business party and Levi's fans. 


Arrived at 7.30pm, I had plenty of time for photos taking while waiting for the event to start. 

987fm DJs- The Double Ds kicked start the party with the funniest game that made everyone burst out laughing


An intense dance performance was followed after. 


 The most exciting part of the party was a fashion show representing very well the Levi's Interpretation Campaign and introducing a non-denim Levi's 501 collection for the first time. Breaking with traddition, yet maintaining the product's true essence and timeless spirit, the three-piece non-denim jeans (in true chino, chalk blue and mineral red) were worn by the models that night. 




While shopping at Somerset last week, I came to Levi's store and had my first touch on Levi's 501 jeans and non-denim pants. I realized the new generation of Levi's 501 jeans give the wearer a slightly tighter silhouette (girls will love this, I assume). Nevertheless, even with tighter silhouette, they give us more comfort around the waist, slightly larger pockets to store our smart phone and have a shallower yoke for a cleaner aesthetic. I can't wait to show you what did I buy from Levi's store in my next blog entry


All dancers worn Levi's jeans to perform and they didn't seem to have any problem in doing their stretching, splitting or breaking moves. That shows how comfortable the jeans are! 


After dance performances and fashion show, 987Fm Djs- Muttons took the stage to start a new game with special appearance of 2 local celebrities: Ya Hui & Ian Fang. 


Ya Hui & Ian Fang were also celebrity guests of another Levi's 501 Interpretation event last month which I already blogged about it here.


Another pair of 987fm DJs, Bobby & Rozz came up on stage with the last game for the night. 


Everybody enjoyed themselves with free flow drinks, fun games, amazing dance performances and fashion show.


Thank you so much Levi's for the fantastic birthday party! 
Before I end this blog entry, let me take you back to the year when the first Levi's jeans were born  through this video 

Happy 140th Anniversary, Levi's 501 and many more anniversaries to come!

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: HOW TO WEAR COLOR-BLOCK.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: HOW TO WEAR COLOR-BLOCK.

May 22, 2013
Hi everyone,

To continue with the Summer outfit series that I have shared in the earlier blog entries,  I have here another interesting style tip for you to play with colors, textures in this Summer.

Knowing that Summer is all about bright and vibrant colors, we should not hesitate to try on many different outfit patterns and colors at all. With that said, I find it's perfectly acceptable if suddenly one day, someone who never wears colorful outfit before decides to wear color-block. To me, the most exciting thing to do is the opportunity (or challenge) to play with different colors I have in my wardrobe, to create something different from the same old things.

Last week, I decided to bring back color-block as I haven't been wearing this for sometimes.  The feeling is like missing an old friend.  Well, sort of. 

Nevertheless, as usual, it took me 15-20 minutes to find out what to wear.    

When I was about to give up the idea of color-blocking, I saw the blue skirt hiding at the bottom of the wardrobe. It saved my day! :D  

After finding my principal piece, I then slowly looked for what color to go with the blue, what accessories, shoes I should wear etc... The following steps were just pieces of cake. 




Balance rule applied, I accessorized with blue belt and yellow & gold bracelets. Alternative option could be yellow belt & blue accessories. 








Falling leaves added more vintagey feel to the picture. It reminded me of a beautiful song "Autumn Leaves" sang by Eva Cassidy. I loved the song so much that I even had a video of myself dancing to it few years back. I looked so "raw", lolz.

::Outfit::
Blue skirt: BEBE- Similar here and here
Tank top: ZARA- Similar here
Blouse: ZARA - Similar here and here
Shoes: ZARA (old)- Similar here and here

If you ask me where did I get the inspiration from for each outfit pairing? I would say it all comes from nature: the yellow leaves, the blue sky, the green trees...THIS is my best resource whenever I run out of the idea. I guess, sometimes we just need to slow down our pace or even to stop for a while and observe what is around us, there are so many beautiful things we should be able to see and appreciate. That explains why I love having my Sunday morning at Starbucks by myself, doing nothing except people watching and relaxing. Life is good!

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: FUCHSIA PANTS FOR SUMMER

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: FUCHSIA PANTS FOR SUMMER

May 18, 2013
Hi everyone,

Summer- my most favorite season of the year is finally here! I remember when I was in Vietnam, the only season I was looking forward to was Summer so that I could wear shorts, dresses and go to beach, enjoy the sun and the sea. In Singapore, we have Summer all year round but it's still excited to think about the whole world is enjoying the sun, beaches, vacation  and of course...the heat. 

In fashion, Summer is also one of the most exciting seasons that gives lot of inspiration and creativity to brands, designers to come up with brilliant collections. For us as bloggers, stylists, we have chance to rock many bright, colorful and lively outfits, to go crazy with many different styles, shapes and designs on our outfit pairing. Not forget to mention this is the only season for us to flaunt our hot body in the sexilious bikini. YES! This is why I love Summer very much.

Last week, I went shopping in ZARA to check out their Spring/ Summer collection and I was so attracted to their bright- bold corner. I brought one of the items home: Fuchsia pants. It's a unique and statement piece credited to the vibrant color and is not often worn by many people .  So how and what to wear with fuchsia pants? I have some style tips and suggestions for you here:

Check out the simple pairing wore last week. 


Basic colors like black, white or beige are the best matches with fuchsia if you want to go for more subtle and simple look. 

Highlighted my outfit with same color accessories (necklace, bracelet, belt). Again! You just want the pants to get full attention, not anything else. 










::Outfit::
Pants: ZARA- Similar here, here and here
Shirt: Dolce Gabbana (old)
Handbag: Forever New (old)
Shoes: ALDO - Similar here and here
Necklace: Strings of Glamour (old)- Bracelet: Max & Chloe
Accessories: ASOS Sunglasses 

First time trying on fuchsia pants for work and I already fell in love with them. I was reluctant to wear them to office at first as I was afraid the color was too bright, but they turned out to be perfectly fine :D. I'll come back with more pairings for this fun and bold piece. 

 What do you think about this look? Would you wear it at all? Please share with me in the comment section. 
I have many great news to share with you guys but my mouth is sealed until 27th May :D. I'm so excited! :D

 Thank you very much for reading guys! 
Talk to you in the next outfit post soon!
Love,
Crystal

BONIA POP-UP STORE LAUNCH PARTY

May 15, 2013

Last Friday, I was invited to attend the opening party of Singapore homegrown- fashion brand BONIA unveiling its first ever pop-up store in Orchard. 
Just in case you don't know anything about BONIA, it was founded in 1974, and today is a leader in the Asian leather fashion industry. BONIA is internationally recognized as a leading high-fashion brand that designs exquisitely-crafted luxury goods made with the finest materials. BONIA was named 
one of Singapore’s Heritage Brands at the Singapore Prestige Brand Award in 2008.

The BONIA Group has a network of over 883 sales outlets and 103 boutiques throughout the world, including countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Japan, China, the Kingdom of Saudi 
Arabia, and Indonesia. In addition to its flagship fashion label, the BONIA Group is also behind successful brands such as Sembonia and Carlo Rino, and holds the license to distribute international labels such as Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club, Austin Reed, Valentino Rudy, Carven, Jeep, The Savile Row, Renoma Paris and Renoma Cafe Gallery.


Themed “Chapter 39: BONIA Inspires”, the pop-up store is set to be the largest showcase of its kind, 
measuring 4,305 square feet; it will present a 10-days bonanza of fashion and design. The BONIA popup store celebrates BONIA’s 39 years of local heritage and design by travelling around the region, with Kuala Lumpur as its next stop.


BONIA has also teamed up with the Raffles Design Institute (RDI) in a gallery showcase for students to present their designs on an international platform. 100 students were tasked to create five different exhibitions depicting Art Deco, Pop  Art, Surrealism, Cubism and Fauvism in-line with BONIA’s Spring/Summer 2013 concept, demonstrating the brand’s rich heritage in exploring diverse ways of 
integrating culture and fashion.


The launch party was hosted by Fly Entertainment Artist Nikki Muller & Bobby Tonelli. On 10th May, BONIA also introduced Sonia Sui - Taiwan's top model as their international brand ambassador for year 2013/2014. Sonia Sui is hailed as one of Asia’s most outstanding emerging actresses. She will be the face for BONIA in campaigns for Singapore and Malaysia. 

Besides Sonia Sui, many local celebrities attended the event that night i.e Irene Ang, Jimmy T, Amy Cheng, Magdalene See, Liv Lo and the cast of Ah Boys to Men.
