WEEKEND WITH HAVAIANAS

WEEKEND WITH HAVAIANAS

May 01, 2014

My weekends are normally filled with a bunch of activities: photo shooting, blogging, meeting people or attending the events. Once in a while, whenever I have a chance to get away from all of these, to have some time for myself, I always feel so appreciated. Last month, the weekend during Easter was an example. No blogging, no work (except for taking these gorgeous photos for this blog entry), I spent my 2-day holiday walking around the beach, watching the beautiful sunset over the sea, eating lots of delicious foods with my 2 perfect beach partners: K. K & Havaianas.

 *Read till the end to find out how to win a pair of Havaianas for yourself too.


Thank to FlopStore Singapore for sending me these 2 lovely pairs of Havaianas. To be completely honest, I've never paid any attention to flip flops, as I thought, they were the least important items to think about when it came to packing for a holiday. I could just grab them at any local beach store nearby for like $3. Those cheap flip flops with the bad quality material always ended up killing my feet after 15minutes walking. They gave me a blister in between my toes, broke my skin, left some ugly marks on my feet. It was such a torture.

I was so reluctant to wear flip flops to walk around on that day, but I decided to give Havaianas flip flops a try because they are Havaianas. Besides, they look much more colorful and prettier than those boring black flip flops that I wore before. Then, I started thinking about how to look chic and comfortable at the beach.


I didn't think much about the color coordination when choosing what to wear, but somehow, Havaianas flips lop matched perfectly with what I initially planned on wearing: yellow colored high-low beach dress, purple belt and Love Moschino tote bag.






 Happiness was so simple. It was when I had a chance to jump around like a crazy woman, in a perfect place, at a perfect timing, with somebody special who was patient enough to take lots of photos of me under the hot sun without complaining anything. I couldn't expect anything more than that.







My petite feet were thrilled with joy as they still looked adorable in Havaianas after a whole day of walking. For the first time, there was no blister, no broken skin, no pain, I could probably walk miles in those Havaianas flip flops.




There is nothing like the awesomeness of nature to quiet our mind, renew our souls and heal our hearts. Right there, where I was at, I found my inner peace. Peace was seeing the sunset, knowing who I should thank to.
Thank to K. K for helping me taking these beautiful photos.
Thank to FlopStore Singapore for introducing me to Havaianas so that I can start falling in love with all the happy, colorful flip flops, again.
Lastly, thank you guys so much for following my blog.

{COLLABORATION}: MARKS AND SPENCER #ILIKEITPERKY

{COLLABORATION}: MARKS AND SPENCER #ILIKEITPERKY

April 23, 2014

Nothing feels better than putting on a pair of jeans that instantly makes you look so hot, yet still gives you the maximum comfort and confidence. I own, perhaps, 100 pairs of jeans (almost) in different styles, sizes, from different brands, yet I'm still on the hunt for a perfect pair of jeans that can take me from day to night. 

To be completely honest, Marks & Spencer has never been in my mind before when it comes to #jeans as I thought, their clothes are made for tall and big size women. I'm so petite, I would probably swim in them. Until they offered me to try on their latest Scupt and Lift Denim collection, I went from "M&S Denim? Hmm, I'm not sure" to "Oh My God! I love it!". How could I not adore it when the jeans do not only flatter my body figure, but also give my bottom such a sexy shape. I like my butt to be perky, and I assume you want yours to be the same. Besides, I'm absolutely obsessed with any jeans that can elongate my legs, and save me from the trouble of altering them shorter to fit my height.

 Once the fit is settled, the second most important thing that I'll always look for in a pair of jeans is the fabric. M&S Denim fabric quality is much better than what I expected it to be. It is ultra-durable, stretchable and so comfortable. I'm not going to lie, I tried to do a few dance splits in these jeans, and they did a wonderful job. These jeans are seriously made for dancing. 

Looks like Shelley Rand- a Denim Designer for Marks & Spencer and his team did an amazing job in making us-women feel confident in what we wear. Don't underestimate the power of a perfect pair of jeans, they can make you look so chic and sexy even with the most basic white tee, plaid blazer and simple stilettos, just like that. 























This season, Marks & Spencer is also unveiling a new line up of Leading Ladies to front its Spring/Summer advertising campaign. The collection will be featured in Marks & Spencer’s  international flagship stores including Singapore’s Wheelock Place. 
For more information about the brand and their latest collection, follow Marks & Spencer on their Facebook page.

 P/: S This blog entry is proudly sponsored by Marks & Spencer to promote for their M&S Denim Sculpt & Lift collection. 

 Thank you so much for reading.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: PASTEL PERFECTION

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: PASTEL PERFECTION

April 20, 2014

Hi everyone, 

 I hope you had a great time celebrating Easter with your loved ones. I had a fantastic weekend spending at the W Singapore hotel, walking around Sentosa, eating delicious food and watching a beautiful sunset by the beach. There was, literally, nothing else I needed except for wishing these moments to last a little bit longer. 3 day weekend seemed to pass by so quickly, especially when I enjoyed it the most. 

 After the fun, flirty weekend, it's time for relaxation. This delicate pastel colored outfit helps to calm myself after looking at so much bright golden sunlight, blue sky and turquoise water. Pastel is a signature Spring color, yet so perfect for Summer. I love how it instantly cools everything down even at the hottest moment. Could you tell the 35 degree Celsius heat in these photographs at all? I bet you could not.

 I put on this pastel outfit last week to work, and it happened to be one of my busiest days of the week. I assumed these sweet and romantic colors had something to do with my productivity. They gave me a complete sense of fulfillment, feminity and perfection. 

 Now, I'm ready to take on a brand new week. Who knows, I might wear another pastel dress tomorrow!

"THIS IS IT" FLEA MARKET

"THIS IS IT" FLEA MARKET

April 18, 2014

I couldn't be more excited to share with you a wonderful news. Red Market and I would like to welcome you to the largest indoor flea market, which will be held at F1 Pit building on 10th and 11th May 2014 (Saturday & Sunday). The venue will be fully sheltered and air-conditioned, so you won't have to worry about the heat and the rain :)

When Red Market invited me to grace the event, I was rather hesitant as I didn't know if I wanted to spend 2 days (8hours each day) to sell my clothes. Nevertheless, the thought of meeting you in person got me more excited than worrying about all the planning and preparations. I decided to give it a try. 

So please, if you are free on Saturday and Sunday 10th, 11th May, I would love to meet up with you. Please come join me at this one and only flea market! Besides the live band performances, free photos taking at the photo shoot, you'll also have the chance to meet up with other amazing bloggers as well. 

Here are what you can expect when you come to my booth: 

Shop Crystal's Closet pre-loved and brand new items. You've seen more than 100 Crystal's Closet blog entries I posted, now it's your chance to touch, feel the fabric, have an up-close and personal look at each and every item I've worn. Price tag? You won't even believe why they could be so cheap. 


There are many items  that I've never worn before will be sold. 


And some other brand new dresses come with the price tag :)
 A lot of accessories will be sold that day.



 Jewelry and necklaces. 
 And of course, shoes! How could I skip these!
Aren't these good enough to get you excited yet?
I would also love to take a photo with you and feature on my blog, so please, come hang out with me on that day.
I'm planning to give away gifts and beauty vouchers to the first 50 blog readers or customers who visit my booth (to be confirmed). I'm still looking for sponsorships. If you know anyone who is interested in sponsoring hair/ face/ skincare/ cosmetics vouchers, please let me know. 

There are so many things I need to prepare for this flea market. It's my first time doing this, and I'm not going to lie, I'm actually quite nervous. I don't know how many people will turn up, whether the event will be successful, etc... I hope to receive your huge support. Even just 10 minutes of your time, stopping by my booth to say hi to me is already so precious. 

For more information about the flea market, please visit Red Market website, follow them on Facebook for more update. 

See you at the flea! 
Thank you so much for reading!
