Fashion Sense

Im not sure if any of you have read this, but it is such a shock for me. Ive always though that Singapore is such a fashion centered country, i wouldnt think anyone would pose negative comments of how we dress here in Singapore.

As quoted from designer Roland Mouret during his visit here in May,
"You have an amazing balance between architecture and greenery. I think it's one of the most beautiful cities, I've been travelling and I really love it - but the flip flops and the cargo pants."
He said this after seeing instances of men in cargo pants and flip flops in hotels. He also mentioned that the government should impose a law for such fashion 'disasters'.
Can i love this man and hate him at the same time? Singapore is so humid, therefore the cargo pants. But i personally flip flops in town, i would say il have my moods for them as well. Usually they will be for the beach or lazy days outside of town. I mean of course we have our own fashion extremists out there, i would say they add flavour to our quite conservative Singaporean. With the many races, cultures and religion, we ought to be mindful of everyone. 

He also added,
"Tomorrow, if the worst catastrophe arrived in front of our door, we would never go out naked to look at it. That's the reality of fashion, we're covering our face with our clothes and we're creating a way to talk with our clothes."
Wow. Salutes to you mister. I would never have express fashion in such a way. To be able to create something out of nothing is such an amazing feeling.

So lets us all be engulf in fashion, its nothing wrong in having to look good. But be tactful, with the Great Singapore Sale going on we all tend to fall for those 'cheap' prices.
Il leave you with a quote from Roland Mouret,
"I realize that in Singapore there is a love of shopping and fashion. It's a place where it's perfect for that. You have the weather, you wake up in the morning, if you don't shop, it's because you want to kill yourself."

TGIFF!!
Everyone at work is already in the weekend mood that no one is in their workstation. Must be sneaking for a shut eye somewhere. So here i am! Shhhhh

Well ive just been bloghopping and found awesome new bloggers to follow. For instance, June Paski. She is a great stylist who sometimes sew her own clothes (like me!). Im so inspired so i kept on reading her blog and found out that she has her own hand-made shoeline called June+Julia. I AM SO IN LOVE WITH HER SHOES!!! So trendy and just simply gorgeous. Oh, did i mention that she's a gorgeous girl too? Well she is! Check her out!

So reading on, i came across one of her entries about Ugg Boots. Ah! I love this comfort boots! What else is there to say about them?? I had one myself but they are so old and worn out i had to throw them out!! Although ive been said i look stupid in them especially here in Singapore or look like a farmer in them, who cares! For someone who loves comfort in my outfit, these pair of footwear is definitely a keeper! I look so great in them! Look!

So please Ugg Boots! I WOULD LOVE TO WIN A PAIR! THANK YOU!!!

  

To be Given

Little did i know that putting on this piece of cloth would mean putting an end to certain things, cutting off certain ties that i havent had the heart of doing so and activities that ive always considered them as old bad habits of mine. At first i growled and become mad at myself for making this change. Acceptance was far and bleak. But Alhamdullilah, thanks to the Al-Mighty, i prayed to be given patience to this small-hearted being, water to diminish fire from within and a stronger iman in which im sure He has plans for me in the future. I prayed to be given opportunities to constantly seek knowledge, to open up my heart to better receive criticism and be closer to Him; all in all i prayed to be a better person than i am everyday.
Needless to say, at times i fail. No one was created perfect except for Him. And so i prayed to seek forgiveness and to be far away from evil deeds and wrongdoings.
Notice how many times i asked Him for something? He gave, but what have we given Him?

An encounter

It was my first time there. I was not that familiar with the place so i did what every newcomer would do, blend in and follow. But what do you do if there is not a single soul to follow? Explore the damn place, fast.
So i did my deed (in the corner of the room) and quickly recompose myself while letting my eyes to the exploring. Loud murmurs from the outside surrounding filled the partially enclosed area. As i got up ready to leave the place, my feet took me to another direction; the mirror. Unexplained, i adjusted my hijab and a lady entered. We exchanged smiles and i thought that was the end of our encounter. She stood next to me and offered a hand. Respectfully i returned her a hand and said, "Waalaikumsalam," As our hands separate, my eyes gazed down unintentionally. I saw that she has only one arm. I looked up and saw her smiling at me, and i smiled back at her. I went back to adjusting my hijab and she got herself ready to do her deed.
