Duchess KATE MIDDLETON Spotted Summer 2011!

Has our duchess spotted this as part of her official assignment as the latest royal? She has ;-) So get spotted too. J This spring is all about spots and not limited to monochrome. Go on and add colour to this gloomy environment. No more than three colours though. Too much of anything BAD!  

Smaller spots will make you slimmer. If you are lean or petite, larger spots will make a bolder statement.

Hard Fashion Disk

Hard disks are not a necessity unless you have loads of pretty photos and data. However, should the necessity arise, below are choices to choose from:

1)    Seagate Free Agent Go Flex – This brand is synonymous with electronic storage for personal computers and portable ones too.

2)    Western Digital Passport Essential - Another choice of reputable brands. As the name suggests, besides thickness, its dimensions are close to that of passport. Depending on market regions, it comes in a variety of colours. Very fashionable!

If you want a more assured reliability, SSD (Solid State Drive) is another choice. These are similar to flash drives but far larger in capacity. The name is self explanatory. Unlike hard disks, SSD have no moving parts. This increases reliability tremendously. However, reliability comes at a price. SSDs are approximately double that of hard disks. Happy storing!


For care tips, please refer to Flash(ion) Drives

ECONOMICAL LUXURY - Shu Uemura UV Under Base Mousse SPF 30+

To all you fans of luxury, Shu Uemura’s UV Under Base Mousse SPF 30+ should be your choice. This application stays on longer than rivals giving you that fresh look all day. It has one of the highest UV (ultra violet) protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Due to its mousse form, you tend to use less compared to other forms of rivals. Now you can enjoy luxury economically ;-)

What is SPF?

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is the unit to measure sunscreen UV protection from the sun's harmful rays. The higher the unit, the greater protection offered. It is NOT sun exposure-safe duration! 

Save Tigers Now!

There are less than 3,000 tigers left roaming the planet, a drastic decline from 100,000 tigers just a short century ago. Learn more about the tiger and how it affects you at home. You can help too! For more info, please log on to http://www.savetigersnow.org/ then http://www.tx2.my for some related fun to chill! 

Innocent curiosity :-) Let us give them a better tomorrow.

Life is joy ;-) ONLY mighty humans can ensure this for them.

 

Even though they were here first, we continue to confiscate their land. With all these evidence, human tyranny still thrive! It is up to the you to stop us!

Reflection: In desperation, we seek sympathy. In comfort, we show no pity. Regardless of us, nature provides without status.

Red Riding Hood

This adaptation of LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD was beyond my expectations. I never thought of writing this when I walked into the cinema. Who would have guessed that this children's folktale will be made into a movie for all? J Mmm... as for me, never in my wildest dreams. I assume movie makers are running out of ideas.

From the start, you will be transported to breathtaking scenery, thrilling love triangle and a plot that will keep you guessing the identity of the Big Bad Wolf. The concept remains the same but the plot has been adapted to suit all audiences. Kids, beware! The combination of newcomers and experienced casts brings life to this movie. By now, traditional real life special effects with the likes of Rick Baker have given way to CGI (Computer Generated Images) Here it is the Big Bad Wolf. As this movie is set in medieval times, its costumes are dark and gloom. So, when Valarie (AMANDA SEYFRIED) dons the RED RIDING HOOD, she glows among these characters. Now, she is the life, fashion and inspiration of the movie. Her costume glow sets her apart from other dark and gloom movies. Upon deeper thoughts, this movie is reminiscent of Twilight saga but with more beautiful scenery, thrilling action, continuous suspense and with Henry (MAX IRONS), making the love triangle interesting. If this looks familiar, he is the son of legendary actor, Jeremy Irons (Dungeons & Dragons) and one of Glamour UK's seven most eligible British bachelors. Though both movies are dark and gloom, costumes and characters in RED RIDING HOOD are much more colourful and interesting. I am inspired.

Boys and girls, go catch this at your nearest cinema. It is worth every penny. Can we have more folktales movies like 'Hansel & Gretel', 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' or 'Three Billy Goats Gruff'? Now THEESE will be interesting! ;-) 

SIENNA MILLER - Glamour UK Top 10 Fashion Icon!

Ahhh... By now, anybody who does not know this celebrity is definitely a Martian. Her intermittent relationship with unappreciating JUDE LAW and her ever famous sister, SAVANNAH, have indirectly propelled SIENNA MILLER to fame. I fell in love with her character in ‘Stardust’ but not so in ‘G.I. Joe’. I have yet to come across harsh fashion critics on Sienna. That makes her one of a few female celebrities with fashion intuition. We will not be seeing much of her on the silver screen. She will be playing ‘Patricia’ at West End’s Theatre Royal Hamlet, London through Spring 2011. With her heightening international stardom, we have yet to see her best work. We just hope our top fashion icon will get fashionably better ;-)

SIENNA is one a few celebrities to get fashion principles correct for red carpet & casual appearances.

Abbaya II

When abbaya is mentioned, the first impression we have is covered-up attire and dark, usually brown or black colour. Well, in a new decade, it is time to come out with a new style and breakthrough. Break these boundaries and inject yourself with colour! Abbaya II is a new, revolutionary and now my favourite word, ‘fun’, fashion! Now, it is universal!

Which is the better one?

DUCHESS of CAMBRIDGE - A Royal Wedding Fairytale Come True!

Back from the past: Riding in a 1902 State Landau horse carriage while escorted by Household Cavalry is definitely a sight to behold in modern times.

Nothing can express the joy PRINCESS KATE is experiencing. One can only imagine the horse carriage ride. Here, we can adore these lace details of her fairytale wedding dress. Proudly British made!


The highest in society. One for the very proud British Royal Wedding family album. These fashions are very rich in heritage. Be inspired...


All you Royal 'kids', "Smile" :-) Junior bridesmaid to watch, Margarita Armstrong-Jones (far right), the great niece of QE2 and 16th in line to the British throne.


The perfect royal couple. May they live happily ever after...xoxo

Newly crowned PRINCESS KATE MIDDLETON, no, DUCHESS of CAMBRIDGE, getting ready for her first official Royal reception, the after wedding! This evening dress is just amazing. It outshines her wedding gown. Maybe her wedding gown should be should be inspired by this? The long sleeve cropped fur jacket and waistband accentuates her height. The bejewelled waistband gives a touch of elegance and femininity. This is so PRINCESS KATE! The close fitting blouse gives the perfect finish! Way to go Sarah Burton for designing our new Duchess this ;-) 

Flash(ion) Drives

Flash drive or more commonly known as thumb or pen drives are a must for most these days. This is regardless for work or pleasure. Most look very conservative and boring. Hooray for Kingston! They gave us bright and vibrant designs. They also come with five year warranty and a 24/7 technical support. SanDisk is another choice for reliability but it looks more conservative in black and white.

1)    Kingston Data Traveller Mini Fun G2 4GB – If you carry essential and little data, lucky you! This is the perfect accessory. It is small, vibrant and definitely fashionable.

2)    Kingston Data Traveller G3 16GB – If you carry more data, this still passes the fashion criteria.

   3)    SanDisk Cruzer USB Flash Drive 16GB – A brand that is known as the largest maker of flash memory cards. This is another choice for your purchase. It will be more for reliability rather than fashion.

I guess you know this list below now:

 i)        Safely remove – Always remove this method. The opposite will be similar to switching off the ignition key while the car is in motion. Not good!

 ii)       Virus scan – This is as important as (i)
