JFxLB Fashion Show!

I'm so so so excited to be blogging about the JFxLB Fashion Show cause it's the very first fashion show I've been too! There were so many celebs and even though it's been close to a week since the event, I'm still starstruck hehe! Saw celebs such as Fann Wong, Xu Bin, Ming Bridges, Xia Xue and many more!

Before the event, Jolene and I went to have dinner at Kraze Burger first. We wanted to go back to Hoshinoya for their awesome curry pot rice but the queue was too long and we didn't want to wait in heels :/ Kraze Burger didn't have a queue then so we went there!

 

We got to MBS at around 8.30pm and were afraid that we would be late at first! Turns out, the show started late so we ended up queuing for more than an hour. Thank god we had the company of each other and ended up talking about everything in the world to pass the time away haha! I also bumped into my ex piano teacher and her daughter there! Haven't seen her for years. Fancy seeing her at a fashion show.

When we were finally able to go in, we had to stand around the runway. That's when we saw all the celebs. They were seated right opposite us and it was super funny seeing all the reporters take photos of them. Especially when Fann Wong entered the place. The flashes were just everywhere!

Here's some photos from the fashion show(:

 

 

 

The set was really pretty with trees around and all. Kind of felt like I was in Europe during the fall season. The outfits were really pretty and Jolene and I found ourselves eyeing on a few designs. My favourite had to be a black tube maxi which I unfortunately don't have a photo of cause I couldn't capture it. It would be perfect for prom!

And here's us being us

 

Going to insert a short ootd!

 

Here's what I wore that day! Decided to go black, white and gold. Kind of felt like some Egyptian goddess haha! Cause the fashion show is by Love Bonito, I decided to wear smth that I got from their shop. The top is from LB and I really like it cause of the crochet details. I normally avoid corset tops cause I don't find them that flattering but the cutting of this top is really good. Paired it with a maxi skirt and heels. Matched it with Klarra's clutch cause it was black and gold :D I really love the gold backing of this clutch. Makes it look more elegant don't you think?

And my make up for the night!

 

Ok the first photo was without any makeup. I only had lip gloss on then. Then I went to Jolene's place and she wanted to help me apple makeup so tadah! Hahaha! Had such a fun time at her place(: We were youtubing videos on make up tutorials and playing around with them. Kind of felt like we were getting ready for prom or smth. It's like the typical scene you see in movies when girls get together and do all sorts of girly things haha!

Speaking of happy things, I am glad to say that Jolene, John, Cornelius and I all got promoted to JC2 and are all OGLs!!! I'm really looking forward to the year ahead and many more years after our JC lives with them. I love them very very much and can't imagine how different it would have been without any one of them. Beauty and the beasts forever!!

I always say that basics are a must have in every girl's wardrobe. Even though it's worth having dresses for special occasions, I still believe that basics are the most important apparels ever. That's the number 1 shopping rule I live by. There's always a reason to buy basics(: Be it that it's easier to mix and match, perfect for casual day out with your loved ones or just an outfit for school. Basics are a necessity.

If you're someone like me who hates re wearing outfits (I know this is a serious problem btw haha but I can't help it), basics are your best option because it's just so easy and fun to mix and match. What's more, you get to portray a different side of you when you pair it differently. Take this top for example. It's a really basic piece but it's versatility always amazes me. For something a little girlier, you could always opt to pair it with a skater skirt just like what I did in the photos above. I chose a white skater skirt for the simple reason that there's white on the top which btw, I absolutely love.

On casual days, you could opt for something like this.

 

 

Here's what I wore for the Afamggtvdlp warehouse sale. As the term 'warehouse sale' suggest, I was expecting a lot of ppl and so a skirt might not be the best option. For casual days like this, pair this basic top with a pair of denim and you're good and ready to go. I would wear it this way if I was going to a beach or bringing my doggies for a walk as well. I chose a yellow bag for that day because I wanted a pop of colour. Bright and sunny yellow always brightens up a day(:

Now to show you smth a little more classy.

 

This top isn't the one from TAL but it's smth similar. I just wanted to illustrate the fact that a simple top like this can be turned into something a little more formal. Just pair of with a maxi skirt and your favourite clutch and all's good. In case you're wondering, I actually wore this ensemble to Phantom of the Opera (which you can read here) before I managed to get my hands on TAL's top. If I had gotten this top earlier, I would have worn it cause it will stand out more due to the white colour at the collar.

Needless to say, I absolutely adore basics like TAL's top because of its versatility. It gives me more room to explore different type of styles which a printed dress wouldn't allow. Nowadays, I find myself buying more tops and bottoms and not dresses. I'm still in love with dresses but the problem with it is that it's really obvious when you're re wearing it. That really bugs me a lot haha!

Do check out TAL's Facebook page here and follow them on instagram at @theangelslabel for updates! Psst, highly recommend this top for it's comfy material and versatility.

Been studying History for the past 4h and my head is about to explode. So much facts stored in there hahaha! But I'll nvr hate studying History cause I really love the subject and I actually enjoy the process of studying it. Sounds really nerdy but History is actually interesting :D

Well we all need a break right? I've reached the point where I know I won't be able to memorise anything so I might as well stop studying. Thought it would be nice and relaxing to blog while listening to music. Really random but I've been listening to a lot of Chinese songs and my sister was making fun of me. She said why are you only listening to JJ now when everyone was listening 5 years back? HAHAHA!

Ok back to this post. I'm really way too tired to write much so I thought I'd do more of a picture kind of post. I've recently realised that I wear A LOT of blue and white. It isn't on purpose but I just somehow tend to end up wearing blue, white, or even both tgt! I'm going to feature those photos here. Some might have been blogged before and I honestly am not sure how many photos there are. I'm just going to hop on over to my instagram and find photos of me in those colours.

I'm not going to write where I bought my accessories and shoes from. It's going to take forever if I do so but you can drop a comment if you want to know! (:
