So this fashion addict went on the prowl again, sniffing my way from one boutique to the next. Remembering some of the great stuff I found at Parkson last year, I turned my attention there. And as anticipated, I was not to be disappointed!

This year’s collection features Accent, Monica Quen, Quintessential, Country Road and more. From the casual-smart to the evening wear, lack of choice would be the last thing on your mind. Smart and sexy mixing of traditional Chinese prints and styles with modern urban chic gives that crisp *yummy* feeling. I know I felt that way while strutting up and down the imaginary catwalk!

Fashion aside, there’re loads and loads of cool stuff for kids, the home and much, much more at very agreeable prices. It was a whole day spent, but it was definitely worth it!

So if you’re looking for something different, head down to Parkson right now! They’ve got this fashion kitty purring already.

Christmas shopping was as hectic and stressful as ever! I mean, where do all the people come from? To think that the holidays were supposed to be relaxing. Bah.

So there I was ambling along trying not to get crushed by the hordes of last-minute shoppers (like myself), absently wondering what I should get for myself this year with all the similar-looking stuff on display everywhere.

Then something caught my eye…

The most refreshingly vibrant colours and designs grabbed me and pulled me over like a magnet. I couldn’t resist! It was the latest stuff by Mell, also known as Melinda Looi, our very own, home-grown designer who’s making waves everywhere. I have to admit it was the first time I laid eyes on her designs, but they just absolutely blew me away!

Tops, pants, skirts, jackets, all tucked under my arm as I marched into the dressing room for what turned out to be a whole hour of mirror-dancing and supermodel-wannabe prancing. The designs are young, casual and fresh, yet not childish. Dear Mel definitely had us 20-somethings in mind when she etched out her designs. I felt like packing my bags for college again!

Finally after 10 minutes of pondering, I have decided that I should get myself, a Sheridan Bedroom Set!

I have had my eyes on the Red Aloha set for a while now. At least with the holidays creeping up soon, I would have a good excuse to pamper myself with this designer bedroom set. You see; my room feature wall is a dark shade of red and my bed frame is made from dark wood. Hence the Red Aloha would be perfection, with just a mild tinge of red, it would definitely be a comfy pad.

Check it out. You’ll love it.

There’s more bedroom sets by Sheridan. Check them out at Parkson now!

Magrit is the latest sensation! These Magrit shoes are not only pretty to look at but they are absolutely comfy! Made out of high quality components and always with leather and sophisticated fabrics with feminine shoe lines, you can absolutely kiss away sore and blister feet!

From pink with passion T-Bar Heels to a Swarovski Black Kitten Heels with ankle strap, all made from exquisite fabric, it’s a delight to watch the crystals sparkle all over these shoes. Be it attending a wedding or even for a cruise around town, it is amazingly sexy!

Have a Margarita; wearing Magrit shoes will definitely make uplift your babe image.

I am definitely getting more of those.

Chocolates are the best! Chocolates; a divine gift perfect for anyone…Be it an acquaintance you’ve just met or a long-time friend, there is no better gift than chocolates!

And when you think of chocolates, Fidani has the finest chocolates in town. With ingredients imported all the way from Belgium, the arty designs that further accentuate its tastefulness, each chocolate piece is delicately hand made into little celestial treats to serve and spoil all chocolate fans.

Action speaks louder than words; you’ve got to take a moment to embrace it. Pick a piece from Fidani Chocolatier in Parkson Suria KLCC. The moment it enters your mouth, the word paradise would seem inadequate.

As he walked past, a whiff of his intoxicating scent was mesmerizing. I wondered, what scent could that be? It was an addictive masculine freshness yet sexy scent.

I tapped his shoulder gently and he turned. He looked neat, clean-shaven with eyes in the lightest shade of brown I have ever seen. Nervously I asked him, “What perfume are you wearing?”

He answered “Euphoria by Calvin Klein”. Hurriedly I thanked him and went to the café.

The smell was just so addictive I couldn’t help asking for more. While sitting down with my friends, all I could think about was to smell the strong and bold, yet sophisticated and distinctive scent once again.

You know what happened next? I bought the perfume. Even though I am not a guy, I could buy it, couldn’t I? I could give it to a friend for Christmas!

Would you like a sneak preview of how the pretty bottle looks like? You’ve got to believe me when I mention that it is amazing. Not only is it sleek and sexy but also the glass bottle is encased with a distinctive silver metal frame and is topped with a rectangular aluminium cap. The outer carton is a burnished platinum bronze colour with a sensual matte finish.

Imagine my chagrin when I received a wedding invitation and my girlfriend insisted that I go buy a new shirt for the occasion. So grudgingly I set out to “shop”, trudging from one store to another, searching for a shirt that would get her “stamp of approval”.

A friend suggested that we try this brand called “Small Toe”. Interesting as the name was, we decided to go take a look. As it turned out, Smalto By is an Italian brand specializing in designer shirts and ties for men. I was impressed by the large range and many different and fresh-looking designs the brand had to offer, and I found myself interested all of a sudden.

Surprisingly, the girlfriend happily approved.

I was walking aimlessly around a mall, wondering what to get for my little 6-year-old niece’s birthday when I decided to check Parkson out. Browsing along casually I came across the Barbie section, and I was like, “OMG, they sell clothes now?”

After overcoming the initial shock and embarrassment, I found many, many lovely dresses and casual-wear for kids. I picked out a sweet little dress from Barbie’s Crystal Ballet collection for my niece, and made a mental note to return for more cool kid clothes in future! Hehe…

Yes, I’m talking about Spotlight, a brand found at all Parkson outlets. Dresses, bustiers, skirts, tops and accessories like evening bags to complete the setup. The quality is intricate and breathtaking to say the least. I spent a whole hour or so just trying to decide which to buy!

In the end, I picked a pretty lacy number, complete with sequins and little frills gals are sure to love, plus a little bag to complement the dress perfectly!

Shoe-shopping time!

That’s how most of us in the crowd felt when Ning Baizura sang Teresa Teng’s The Moon Represents My Heart, in Mandarin! It was truly an unforgettable night at the Parkson Charity Music Festival 2006 at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil.

The likes of Eric Tsang, Alan Tam, Joey Leung, Chen Fala, Elaine Yiu, Wong Ka Keung, Daniel Chan, Vivien Yeo and Ning Baizura lighting up the stage was definitely an experience to savour for a lifetime! They had us clapping and singing along to evergreen songs people my age grew up with. Mom was enjoying herself too!

Mom and I decided to get front row tickets as the event was organized for a good cause. The concert was in aid of Kuen Cheng School's Redevelopment Fund and the Lion-ASM Foundation, which aids poor children’s education and such. As it turned out, we were not disappointed one bit! :-)

Finally, this blog is about stuff for the guys.

Savile Row Company

Doesn’t sound familiar does it?

Well apparently, the Savile Row Company, which is based in the heart of Savile Row and have been making fine shirts since 1938. Savile Row is a family company of medium size that manufactures shirts to the highest level of quality. And now, the Savile Row brand is sold in over 30 countries worldwide.

Turns out they are not that obscure after all.. AND.. also, turns out their stuff ain’t half bad.

Featuring Business Wear, Casual Wear and even Accessories, Savile Row’s promise of quality prevails in all their products.

What do all these things have in common?

Well, ALL of them originate from the Land of the Rising Sun, of course!

Yes.. cute. That is what Benefit is... absolutely cute! I mean, how can anybody not find the products cute. With names such as ‘ooh la lift’ (eye perk-me-up balm), ‘dr. feelgood’ (an invisible balm for matte skin), ‘you’re bluffing’ (a creamy yellow correcting stick) and many, many more.

And, and, and, if you think the names are cute, you should check out the packaging, cuz it’s even cuter!

But honestly, being in Malaysia, there isn’t much need to keep warm because the weather is already very, very, very warm as it is. However, we do get days or weeks where it’ll be pouring cats and dogs. Now this, folks, gives us fashionistas the chance to sport our ever so fashionable jackets, light cardigans and more.
