What Did I Snagged At Malaysia Clothes Buffet?

May 2, 2014 6 Comments

Were you at the Malaysia’s Largest Clothes Buffet last weekend? Happened for 3 days at the Concourse Floor of Syopz Mall, Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus where there are more than 50,000 pieces of clothes up for grab. If you have missed this, I have shared about it in my previous post here. Be sure to follow me tight for future updates!

With my busy schedule, I only manage squeeze myself in to go on Sunday which was the last day of the event and that worried me because I was wondering if there is anything left. Of course, I wouldn’t leave the venue empty handed. I arrived at 12:15pm and they were running the Blowout Sales between 12:00pm to 1:00pm. The next session of the buffet will start at 1:00pm and I’m very lucky to have the opportunity to scout for what I want.

Each of us were given a zip lock bag of 14 x 9 inch and if anyone blows the bag, there will be a penalty of MYR 20. I do play safe when it comes to such challenge, in fact my bag could fit one more but I couldn’t find what I wanted. Guess how many did I snagged? A total of 8 pieces. In my opinion, no matter how many pieces one could snag, the most important element is if the person like what they have picked. Let’s see what I picked from the buffet!

Black & White Asymmetrical Peplum

I always love asymmetrical and what makes this more interesting that it’s a peplum top. Here I have paired it with my red dress and skinny belt. The bottom portion of the dress is a round skirt which helps to make the peplum style look more fluffy. It is made of chiffon and I also liked it has another layer of white chiffon where it creates layers to the style. Another ways to style with this top is pencil skirt, shorts and skinny pants.

White Tank Top

As much as I like to wear tank tops, I do not have one in white. Therefore, I told myself I should definitely get one. The material is slightly sheer but not very obvious and this is a cross back tank top. I usually like to go casual with it and wear them with a pair of short jeans. They could easily be paired with any bottoms and outer wear.

Black and Turquoise Spaghetti

Another basic casual wear, straight up stripped spaghetti top. I was worried that it could be too small for me when I first picked it. It is slightly tight but it’s stretchable. Just like the tank top, this can be paired easily with any outer wear or bottoms.

Sheer Long Sleeves Dull Pink Shirt

I can never have enough of sheers and chiffon. I do have something similar but it is in cream and this comes with a pocket. I always like chiffon for it’s light material and even if it’s long sleeve, it isn’t too bad to wear it in the tropical weather. This is an over-sized for me but I’m comfortable with it. Though it is in dull pink, it somehow portray quite a sweet look to it. This can be easily paired with any bottoms and can be nicely layered with sleeveless outer wears.

Convertible Peach Shirt

Another shirt but this fits better and different material (I believe it’s batiste). I call this convertible because I could wear it as long or three quarter sleeves. Plus I do not have any peach top which gives me a good reason to snag this. Batiste material is very light and airy. Peach shade always gives a warmer tone and I love this!

Bejeweled Pale Pink Dress

Despite of picking mostly casual tops, I was up for something glam. When I first picked up this dress, I thought it would be too small for me because my woes in over the hip and butt area. Yes, they are the biggest part of my body. I underestimated this dress and it didn’t hug my hips or butt tightly at all. It is loose that I look like a preggo. This can be worn as a dress or top. Under the sequins, it has a netting that creates softness to the style.

Sheer Floral Sleeves Pink Top

This top may look simple, I got attracted to it’s simplest details on the sleeves where it is sheer and embroidered with flowers pattern. I have paired this with a black skater skirt and I should have add a chunky or colorful necklace to spice up the style.

Twisted Gold Rope With Tassels

This pick was a last minute decision while I was packing the rest of the pieces into my bag carefully. It is a small item but I could use it as my belt. This gold rope comes with tassels at each ends. I did notice that one of the tassel is slightly damaged but it came off before I took this photo yesterday. I’m thinking of ways to fix it, it will be a waste if I toss it away.

At the same time, there were other vendors at the buffet and one has caught my attention. A beauty box that I have to hear of and it only cost MYR 10. I went all over it and bought one for myself.

MYR10 for all these? It’s definitely worth all the pennies! What makes it more interesting is that I was able to choose the items for my beauty box. From their display, I could pick 2 full size sheet mask, 2 samples and 2 fashion accessories. I have picked quite a handful of items.

Nature Republic Given By Nature Green Tea Mask Sheet
Nature Republic Given By Nature Chestnut Sheel Mask Sheet
Nature Republic Magic Remover Lip & Eye Fresh Tissue
Skin Food Gold Caviar Collagen Serum
Lavore Beige Turquoise Stud Dangle Earrings
Lavore Triangle White Crystal Patch Earrings

I have also topped MYR2.00 along with the beauty box purchase and obtained another mask, Nature Republic Essential Solution Energy Ampoule Mask Sheet. This is a two-step mask which requires ampoule application before the mask.

I was given more samples of innisfree Air Skin Fit BB Cream, Inca Omega Power Oil and Nature Republic Super Origin Collagen BB Cream as well as fh Club brochure to further understand more. I’m not very sure of how their box works but they have quite a bit of sales happening in their web, fhClub.com.my.

I really look forward for Malaysia Clothes Buffet again but the venue is way too warm, I was sweating throughout my entire visit there including the buffet. Hopefully, organizers will be able to consider to run it indoor and it will be more comfortable to shop and run the challenge. If so, I will be back again!

Fall Fashion Pairing with China Glaze Autumn Nights Collection

October 29, 2013 2 Comments

Summer has long gone and fall is where everything starts to be chilly all over. That doesn’t prohibit any fashionista to flaunt their pairings of their outfit to fit this season and at the same time to keep that inspiration coming in.

China Glaze Malaysia brings us their new Fall collection named Autumn Nights. This range is rich with colors, luxurious and elegant, great to go for any fashionista to complete their pairings. These are great to go with evening outs, cocktail parties, dinner functions with the girls laughing and flirting around the people they meet.

This collection comes in 12 shades where they are not just your standard fall colors but inclusive of metallic gold an silver for that glamorous and luxurious feel. They are formulated to quick dry and last for a week without chipping, best to go with a layer of top coat to make it last even longer.

In collaboration with China Glaze Malaysia, I came out with my very own Fall fashion pairings incorporating each of the Autumn Nights shades. It took me quite a while to gather the right fashion to complete each look and they are whimsical, elegant, glam, edgy and chic. Let’s get into it!

Gossip Over Gimlet is a platinum shimmer nail polish which gives a very whimsical feel. I pair it with this grey dress patterned with maple leaf around it, matches with Fall season perfectly and the leaf necklace just adds more accent to it. The cream knitted cardigan adds more softness to the look with cream ribbon pumps. The ash grey handbag with gold chain matches the leaf necklace to compliments further for any cocktail party.

This look is glam and soft as to portray Goldie But Goodie which is a rust gold shimmer nail polish. I have combined cream fish tail dress with gold prints, gold chunky leaf necklace and to warm up the look with large collared long sleeve beige coat. The gold accent never stops here but to carry a beige clutch with gold trims and fish clasp, heart bangles and gold glitter peep toe pumps.

Rose gold is a very popular color for Fall and Strike Up A Cosmo reminds me to bring the full on glamour to every cocktail party. This pairing portrays a strong character wearing rose gold sequinned peplum top with bodycon soft pink skirt. The burgundy asymmetrical peplum blazer will allow the sequinned peplum top peek through. Carry a matching rose gold winged tote and walk with strappy rose gold heels fit perfectly also for a girls night out.

Your evening night out will not be ever boring with this flirty and elegant pairing. Rendezvous With You is a purple shimmer nail polish which shows edginess and elegance. I have combined one shoulder purple laced dress with long gold necklace. Get cozy with the black asymmetrical blazer and accessorize with gold diamond bangles and black rhinestones with gold frame clutch. To compliment the blazer and clutch, I have picked black strappy suede heels to walk on.

Public Relations is a violet gunmetal shimmer nail polish and by the name of it, we know that this carries a strong and detailed character. I have selected a dark grey with white laced bodycon dress pairing it with a simple black blazer. To create an even stronger look, I have also selected a black statement necklace with a matching statement ring and a sleek grey watch. Busy characters always carry quite a bit of things with them where I have included a winged black and white handbag and not to miss, the black patent pump heels.

This look is an inspiration from Carrie (Sex and The City) where she glams up incredibly well especially on night outs and dinner. This soft grey dress comes with many details of shiny sequins and beads, and accessorize it with simple heart swarovski necklace and bracelet. To match the swarovski, I have also selected a silver strappy heels with beads and rhinestones details to it. The glam continues on with a darker grey coat with black faux fur and carry a vintage chunky clutch.

Who says that you can’t wear bright during Fall? Tongue Chic is a emerald shimmer nail polish where I have combined it with cream and white for this pairing. First to go with the turquoise ombre maxi dress and cream blazer with black ribbon. Fill the neck line with a cream statement necklace and a pair of white pump heels. The white and gold clutch allows the nail shade to show better as it contrasts.

Scandalous Shenanigans is a rich blue shimmer nail polish where rich colors are being brought in. This is more down to earth chic look where I have selected a dress with top white, blue pleated bottom with beads detailing on the waist. To add softness to the look, I have pair it with brown leather jacker and brown knee length heeled boots. There are days where it maybe a little colder, I have add a light blue scarf and match the rich blue with the edgy blue clutch.

Queen B is a purple blue crème nail polish and I have came to do a conservative yet trendy look for this. This blue turtle necked bodycon dress doesn’t reveal much skin but it is very stylish and accentuates figure. Pair it with a deep blue faux two -piece blazer and glam up with matching gold chain necklace and bracelet as well as a gold statement ring. The conservativeness continues with a matching black tote bag and patent pointy heels of black and gold.

Charmed I’m Sure is a purple creme nail polish which screams so much elegance to it. I picked a simple deep purple cross front long dress and pair it with body chain which effortlessly gives so much details to the look. To compliment with the elegance and glam, I have paired it with black diamonte clutch, bracelet and heels. Rest assured to keep warm with a long black trench coat especially at night.

This look is much edgy because Don’t Make Me Wine is a red violet shimmer nail polish, very rich yet dark. I have picked a tube dress where the top is black and the bottom is bright magenta ruffled. Pair it with black leather jacket and contrast it with pink statement necklace and magenta rhinestone bangle. To compliment the black, I have also selected the black ringed clutch, statement ring and ankle heeled boots.

Red-Y Willing is a red shimmer nail polish that could possibly portray elegance. I have selected this red chiffon dress with black lace prints on it. It’s conservative yet soft for its texture, I have selected matching lace clutch and heels. To accentuate the waist further, I have picked a thin gold belt to contrast the dress. The black military-inspired trench coat will help to keep you warm from the cold weather.

These are the 12 pairings complimenting each other with China Glaze Autumn Night Collection. The nail polishes are available for MYR 42.00 at Isetan One Utama and KLCC. I know its a little difficult especially in Malaysia to wear jackets and coats but I think skipping them would allow you to be elegant, glamorous and edgy, just like how I did for all the pairings. Do share with me which pairing do you like and I’ll be happy to hear from you! Give a ‘Like’ on their China Glaze Malaysia Facebook below to keep yourself updated with their latest!
