(TO LUST FOR) Fossil Re-Issue Weekender

I have just turned 21 not long ago (sadly without any celebrations, how tragic is that?)

but oh well, it is never too late to give me any presents is it? (:

The top of my Birthday Present List is definitely a branded bag (and no, Im not brand conscious, there are just some bags that make me fall in love over it again and again)

PS: I only LOVE specific brands and specific bags and sometimes specific colours. 

And Yes, Im a full-time Bag Stalker.

But sadly I can't afford it (I'm not being paid by being a Bag Stalker, you see.)

So while I was fulfilling my duties as a BagStalker, I found a Perfect Vintage Bag! (for the broke)

A huge vintage-style work or casual bag for you to stuff everything in and looks chic all seasons round. (still looking fabulous during the Winter time)

It kind of reminds me of the Mulberry Bayswater. One of bags that I like, but the Alexa is my favourite out of all the Mulberry bags.

Alexa and one of her favourite bags,The Mulberry Bayswater.

 Presenting to you..

The Vintage Re-Issue Weekender!

by Fossil

In Russet Brown. My favourite colour for this bag!

 

With floral embroidery. I totally love this!

 

How cute!! 

 In Ikat floral print.

 Casual and Chic!

Guess what, It's only US$278!! which is approximately one third of the price of the Mulberry Bayswater. What's even better is that now they are having a sale for only US$199.9 at their website!!

I WANT I WANT!

 But sadly they don't do international orders (DANG!)

How about being an incredibly nice person and send me one? HAHAHAHA!

Anyway, if you think this is the one for you, grab it at

Styling Journey with NOEL CALEB : Part Three

3rd styling session! March 18

The 3rd lesson is to help style the flashmob dance team for the new collection launch.
The venue is at a dance studio.

So there are about 30 dancers and the task is to dress them up according to the limited clothings NC brought. The dancers were instructed to bring afew pieces of clothing that they think is suitable (black leggings or pants, and tops) so we can style them accordingly.

Sounds easy? HAH!
First of all, there are limited pieces in limited sizes.
The dancers are much much older than me(older by at least 5/6yrs, some are even in their fifties!), and some of them are rather doubtful of our abilities(because we are merely just styling apprentices?).
The incredibly tough part - There are some who also insists on what they want to wear and want only what they think it's best for them.
So not only we have to give our viewpoints, we have to style them up, listen to what they want and reassure them that they look fabulous. It's like treating them as our customers.

It's quite tough for me actually cause once someone just insists on their way like for example they want another piece that either don't suit them or don't have their size or even keep on adding all the unnecessary items or accessories that we didn't suggest, I find it hard to convince them and became  frustrated and dumbfounded.
2 of the other styling apprentices, Cadence and Megha is very good with dealing them. Very good communication skills and I think it is also due to their age (able to relate to them easier?)
There are some nice ones who accepts our advice with no problems.

After the styling process, our mentors look through and see which looks made the cut and which didn't. After that they show us their dance rehearsal, adjustments are being made to the clothing again.
Then it's our short discussion time. Rana gave us her valuable advice. She said that it's important to listen to them but at the same time give us our advice and show them that we are the stylists rather than them, because some people are used to what they wear and what they think is the best for them and find it hard to change it. What they think is good for them might not be the case. 

So all in all, it's a good experience.
I still have plenty to learn. Plenty!

There are 2 events for today, Tangs Fashion Show and Cleo Bachelors Party. So, I head down to Concorde shopping centre to collect my Tickets from CLEO, and rushed down to Orchard but I took the wrong bus. So I have to take the bus and go back and take the right one.

Styling Journey with NOEL CALEB : Part Two

2nd styling session! March 10

Im pretty excited for the 2nd session. Why? because we get to see the behind-the-scenes of the photoshoot for the new collection - Teddy Girls.WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I decided to take a taxi to the studio and I'm so unlucky to get a horrible taxi driver who tried to earn more money from me by going rounds and rounds into the wrong street despite knowing where it is.

Price hike in Taxi fares + Despicable Taxi drivers = Boycott Taxis please.

And I was terribly sick on that day. *cough*1stday.

Well, back to this, our mission for this session is to observe the behind-scenes and do our "homework".

1. What is the detail on the particular piece(s)? Colour, trimming, fabric etc… anything that caught your eyes?

2. How is it styled by Noel Caleb?

3. If you’re styling the pieces, would you have done differently, and why?

4. What have you learn from Session 2?

When I arrived, the photoshoot had already begun. (because I was supposed to reach there later)

I saw the pieces hanging on the clothes rack and went to take a look and feel the material (afterall, we have to do our homework, right?), at first I was unimpressed by the colour scheme cause it look dull in general and I have no idea how to match the clothes. But when I saw how Rana and Eileen style it, it was like magic unfolding one by one, I was amazed by the results. (refer to one of the points I made in Styling Journey Part One)

Sadly we were not allowed to take any photos, but it's alright, being there is awesome enough.
