The Unveiling of Za Autumn/Winter 2014 Makeup and Skincare (Za Men too!)

Za as a brand has been pushing the envelope towards offering skincare and makeup products that work effectively at a very affordable price. Some time in October, 2013 we saw the launch of the Perfect Solution range, an all-round anti-aging skincare collection that targets to eliminate dullness and wrinkles. We have tried out the moisturizer from the range and have been liking it since. (previous event post here). This time around, we were very excited to see what new innovations that Za would be presenting at the TGV Indulge at One Utama.

The week is gingerly winding down and this weekend is quite special for all Malaysians as we are celebrating our 57th Independence Day. Lots would have made plans as it is a short long weekend (are we making sense? haha *_^), Monday is also a public holiday for us. Yay! 

We discovered this editorial spread called Time After Time (oh Cindy Lauper's number spring to our mind *_^) and found it pretty captivating, almost has that weekend sort of feel, with a touch of glam here and there, yet encompasses that retro feel to it. Everything seems effortless, that is how we feel a weekend should be. Thought to share it with you here.

We shall leave you with more pictures to speak for themselves and hope everyone is excited about the weekend. All pictures via one of our favorite blogs, Visual Optimism here.

New David Jones Clutch And A Few Lovely Things

We have been on the look out for a new clutch or sling bag since the current one has decided to raise its white flag. We love sling bag as it is convenient. When it comes to handbags, here are some of our criterias to meet. 1. It has to have lots of separate compartments 2. It cannot be too heavy 3. It has to be reasonable in size.

Being a somewhat "organize" freak myself, I always look for bags that have a great deal of inside compartments, like pockets for mobile phone, keys, makeup items and what not so that all of my things can be organized properly. When I need to grab a certain item from my bag, it is always quick and easy *_^

KLFW2014: Still Rocking It The Farah Khan Way

The sheer name-mention of the word Farah Khan is enough to turn heads, be it whether you are a local fashion buff or one of the many die-hard fans from a string of Hollywood celebrity followers of the brand. Farah Khan as a brand is synonymous with beautifully handcrafted and hand beaded sequin dresses, with a feel of luxe and femininity. She embraces the whole womanhood in terms of style as well as empowering us with a sense of control over what woman really love - to feel beautiful and be your beautiful best, in the most glamourous way, of course *_^

The recent Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW2014) show was no exception. Dato really does know how to put on a great show! Opening act is always an attention grabber, with a group of models wearing lovely sequin shorts and pants, knee-length killer boots and casual-chic sweater with bold statements that echo her philosophy towards life and fashion in general, coupled with upbeat fast-paced music. Such a great vibe it was.

[Inspiration] The Lovely Park Shin Hye In Autumn Feel For W Korea September 2014

It's lovely that autumn is almost in the air and we are feeling all cosy and warming up and soon cuddling into the season (we are imagining all these feelings if we were to be in a seasonal country as here is all sunny and rain most of the time *_^)

We came across this beautiful editorial by W Korea magazine featuring the lovely star of the recent Korean hit series, The Inheritors, Park Shin Hye while surfing the net and thought of sharing the pictures with you.

[Inspiration] Style Crush | A Minute Away From Snowing By Michelle Lau

It has to feel like a breeze, it has to feel like traversing different worlds, wondering into the unknown yet feel so familiar, it has to feel like you are intoxicated by the words, the visuals, the wonderful emotions that you go through when reading and looking at the pictures being presented to you. 

KLFW2014: Culmination Of Malaysian Talents

We are still very much not over the mood of the recent Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2014, in fact, we have just met with one of the fashion designers showcased at the fashion show last week! We can't wait to share his ideas and thoughts with you via our FACES segment soon. Can you guess which fashion designer among them? Heehee *_^

We shall leave you with some visuals and do check back with us soon for more flashbacks and re-caps of the fashion show (more here)!

[Inspiration] Dreaming In Shades of White and Brown

Perhaps you were my sunny white sun ray that creeps into my bathroom or my living space that very morning when I gently opened my eyes and you cheekily plunge yourself right onto my earthy brown sofa that looks irresistible even for someone as serious as you.

Perhaps you have been lingering over my shoulder for quite some time, or perhaps you have visited me back then, some where over the shadow of my dreams, calling upon me the serenity of a lullaby so soft but real that it almost burst into echoes of loneliness, yet somehow managed to squeeze out that extra tinge of happiness out of me.
