The Day I Met (or made?) Mini Ninie(s)

Dear Diary,

About a month ago, I was given the honour by my favourite local fashion website, Tongue In Chic to dress up two dolls for their launch. In my understanding, the dolls were given to (was it?) 50 of KL's designers / artists / fashionistas. Which part of me screams any of the mentioned, I also donchknow but I thank them anyway. I had so much fun doing them, you had noooo idea!

So this uncreative me was stuck for a week not knowing how to dress up the dolls.
Near the deadline (or was it past deadline, he hee..), I was desperate and my unstable state of mind (that time) told me to dress up the dolls as, ME.

First Mini Ninie was inspired by one of my favourite adidas by Stella McCartney tops.

Second Mini Ninie was dressed like how The Yoga Instructor always dresses up to teach her yoga classes. Bra top paired with same coloured fisherman / Bali / Thai pants. Tapi kalau sportsbra kaler hijau, janganlah pakai lipstick kaler hijau pula ya? Walaupun yoga center anda sedang promo Green Yoga whateverrr..

(Mini Ninie's clothes were made from ribbons and wires and cross-stitch threads bought from Czip Lee, Bangsar. Thanks to Chi that I bumped into there [what coincidence!], for the recommendation.)

Both Ninie and her Mini Ninie-s also completed their looks with elastic H&M headbands (I have almost 8 of them now, in different colours and styles, hooray!). Great finish to a bad-hair-day dan supaya itu fringe tidak masuk mulut ketika downward-facing dog atau headstand.

And so came the much-anticipated launch of Tongue In Chic one rainy Wednesday night at The Apartment Downtown in KLCC where my plus-one and I arrived oh-so fashionably late.

There were..
soooo many preeeeeettty dollsssss!
I felt so malu..
My Mini Ninie-s looked soooo tiny..





















But that still didn't stop me from taking pictures with my Mini-s :).
Although I didn't get to bag home my susah-payah made Minis-s :(.
















Chi was my plus-one (and photographer, thank you babe!) that night. She has posted a nice(r!) entry and more pictures of the party in her blog although it is not my say to link up her new blog here, he hee.. So, just be nice, content and grateful with what I can share here, OK?

I just freshly coloured my hair that evening which explained the extra blondie and nicely set hair. Thank you my lovely cutie loyal stylish who always enjoys doing up my hair up high whenever I told him I have parties and events to attend. I love you long time.

Chi and I showing off our (or lack of) back muscles and make-up skill, he hee.. Chi's pose and angle terbaik punya kan? I was the pushy art director for that pose of hers, thanks to watching Jay Manuel on the endless repeats of ANTM.

(Speaking of make-up, there's this make-up tag that I have always been wanting to post-up. If time permits, maybe you'll see the bahan-bahan why my make-up always soooo over, tomorrow. Kot..)

Oh, and for the TIC launch, I actually tried to copy this look of Carrie Bradshaw somewhere at the end of SATC The Movie, which I hope all of you have seen it by now.

Pictures are captured from Sex And The City The Movie the book that I bought in Kinokuniya at Takashimaya Sq, Singapore.

Although my dress is so not from Alexander McQueen dan my heels juga bukan dari Manolo Blahnik, I think the neckline, the length of the dress and the almost-very-same-shaped glasses copied the look, dalam 60% pun jadilah.

Just in case you are curious, or if you want to find more reasons to criticize me,
scroll through for where I got my wear:

Dress: Shoes, Shoes, Shoes
Clutch: Shoes, Shoes, Shoes juga
Shoes: Bukan Shoes, Shoes, Shoes tapi Aldo
Belt: Zara
Glasses: cK
Hair set: Raymond from Peek-A-Boo, Bangsar (he almost fainted when I asked him if it's wise to put up a blue bird on my hair as per Carrie's wedding do)
Nail & Toes Colour: Glitters, Bangsar ViIIage using OPI's Eiffel For This Color (from new OPI: France colours, I love them!) Even my manicurists got sick of my alternate choice over Moon Over Mumbai and Get Me To The Taj On Time from their last OPI: India colours. They even had, or still have this regal blue colour named Yoga-Ta Get This Blue! Tapi tak pernah berani lah nak pakai blue, nanti lipstick kena sentiasa biru juga.. And my mom will pengsan and be turned to blue too)

.. or keep (or start if you haven't started) checking the cool and rawking Tongue In Chic website for new and hip places of what-to-wear and where-to-buy!

Thanks again, Tongue In Chic for the fashionable launch
and most importantly, for the fashion for clue-less and style-less girls like me!

The Day I Had Parties In The City

Dear Diary,

For the past week or two, I attended evening parties that were filled with fun and full of fashionist faces.
My new big hairdo makes dressing up all the more fun!

JIMMY CHOO (KLCC)

I can never afford a Jimmy Choo.

In my fuel-to-feed-my-car-is-more-important thinking, I wouldn't spend RM3000 for a pair of shoes and RM7000 for a piece of carrywear (although they are exceptionally and painfully beautiful!) when I can buy 10 of RM300 shoes and 10 of RM700 handbags (or even 100 of RM70 handbags, like the patent green one I wore to the party that I bought three hours prior at OWL boutique in Hartamas Shopping Centre)! Tak? Yelah, takde duit senanglah cakap, he hee..

Although I was close to swiping for a RM6+++ handbag since guests were entitled to 30% discount on displays in store, I came to my senses but ended up spending more than RM600 at La Senza when the party finished. Haiyaaa..

JASPAL (Pavilion)

Bersama kawan-kawanku yang bermata hijau dan kelabu

Bersama si supermodel dan KL's hottest dentists

Jaspal is a Thai brand that chose Malaysia as it's first store outside Thailand. Their pieces are comfortably affordable (price range is almost like Zara, slightly pricier than MNG but almost half-priced from Ted Baker) and surprisingly very fashionable when being put on!

Check out their cool belts and tunic dresses, perfect for officewear and casual dressy days!

ADIDAS ORIGINALS (Midvalley)

3-tier berani-mati mini skirt that belongs to my 7-old sister paired with adidas Originals limited edition 'I adidas Kuala Lumpur' tee and handbag.
Copper heart-shaped pendant chain and 4-inched heels are from Aldo.

Practical bags and cute shoes that I want, I want, I want (adidas hq, *hint hint*!)

3-striped shoes, shoes, shoes galore!

With Mila wazzup, wazzup!

That was me with Jehan Miskin, another adidas ambassador posing as the store's mannequins for pictures. Jehan and I hanged out for a while after the party and somehow he ended up in two of my classes (the last class was advanced pulak tu!) the very same evening.

If you gonna see more of us together at Aji Don post-yoga or at Camp5 rockclimbing, tolong jangan gossipkan kami. I can't be dating two actors at the same time! Nanti Melodi dan Harian Metro will happily come up with headline 'Arash Mohamad dan Jehan Miskin berebut bekas peserta realiti TV yang sudahlah kalah, tidak popular pulak tu guru yoga'.

Congratulations to adidas for their latest store opening in Midvalley (the shop is situated where the Nose shop was).


So yes, I had so much fun attending parties in the city
and I'm sure I'll have more fun this coming weekend for
I am going to shop and have watch Sex And The City The Movie in the Lion City!
