Wear your look & Not letting your look wear you.

You are confused? Yes, I know. All I'm trying to say is wear your clothes & not the clothes wear you. Still don't get it?

Let's take a friend of mine for example, he has very puffed up & straight hair so the last thing he would wanna have is a "not too short but not too long" hair, cause it's gonna make his head look big. Real BIG! He went to many different salons, both High end & low end, but he ALWAYS end up with some horrifying hair cut out & you know why? Cause the stylist would suggest going short at the sides but my friend will go like "I don't want it short, I just wanna cut a little." Then the stylist suggest that he grow it long(around e jawline kind of length) but then again he will reply "I don't want it so long & when growing, it's gonna look horrible." So of cause as a stylist, they have to give what the customer wants even if it's gonna look screwed. So after the hair cut, which look totally screwed up, he would walk out of the salon complaining that the stylist is skill-less. Seriously, it's not the stylist, I've cut his hair before & he said I screw it too. This happen so often(actually, history repeats itself everytime he steps into a salon)

So eventually I asked him why didn't he wanna get short hair?
His answer may just make some of your laugh & some others thinking hard.
"Cutting your hair on the sides short is for Gays only & I'm trying very hard to be discreet, cutting it short will blow my cover."
My reaction? Laugh my face off!!!
After the good laugh, I asked him then why not keep it longer?
He answered "That will make me look like a Tranny!(Trans-Gender)"
Seriously, if you're reading this don't get upset. Cause it's the Truth! So Face it!

Can you see? He is letting his hair wear him. He is setting up weird boundaries & I'm not getting it?
He is like tarnishing his image just because he feels that Short hair on the sides=GAY!!!
Seriously? Is he like Homophobic, even though he's a gay himself?
Anyway, not going to the gay topic. He is just too uptight about his image.

So please, don't be like him! Enjoy the Freedom of Expression & love whatever you've produced. Let no one stop you, You know that I'm talking to YOU!

Must-have fashion accessories this year!

In fashion, everything that is out of date is in fact the past played in present in a different perspective. For this year, fashion has gone back to basics to an old punk rock but with class. Examples, you ask? Christina Aguilera(Xtina's style 2010) & Rihanna. I'm not much a fan of Rihanna's music but I sure am a fan of her fashion style! :D

So here comes the list:

1. Boots are the first must-have item this season. But not all of them will do: tall, knee-high boots are the best footwear option for everything.
2. High-waist trousers are still in fashion(seriously, when were they out?) if you want, you can also wear opaque stockings with short pants.
3. The military jacket will be a staple piece for this year's winter wardrobe. Whether worn in a masculine or feminine way, the military jacket is a must-have item that will jazz up a normally boring old wardrobe.
4. Trench coats are total the thing like forever. pair it with a knee-high boots & you'll get Christina Aguilera's style going on.(Totally HOT!)

5. "BIONIC" I'm sure for those who are not a fan, your have no idea whatI'm talkin about. "Bionic" is Christina Aguilera's new album. It's named "Album of 2010 That Matter Most".

You THOUGHT that Christina Aguilera's 2010 MTV Movie Awards medley performance of "Bionic," "Not Myself Tonight" and "Woohoo," from her "Bionic", was all about her "I'm-still-a-Diva" vocals, frenzied stage show, and adult-only innuendo. And you were right. And then this happened.

SURPRISE! This is so just Christina Aguilera's way of saying she loves you! And that this Diva still has a sense of humor.

Say I'm Vain, whatever.

Seriously, I'm just going through a phrase in life which I'm just not comfortable in my own skin. I don't really know how to put it in words but I'm going through is just crazy & to make matter worst, I have tons of crazy people labeling me as either vain, trying too hard to be different or that I just like competitions. Seriously, those people should totally just don't try so darn hard to think that they understand me. Cause they don't & to make matter worse they restrict me from being myself when I'm trying just as hard to not be myself. Sometime, we just have to let ourselves be cause we're trying too hard to live up to other or maybe even our own expectations.

Quote of the Day

"I don't mean to be a Diva, but some days you wake up and you're Barbara Streisand." ~ Courtney Love

I personally knid of relate to this. It's really what I feel sometimes when I wake up & I'm like feeling all so Christina Aguilerized.(if you get what I mean) It's funny but it's true & it's kinda great too, you feel that you put on anything or say anything is The THING!(if you get what I means you get it, if not you'll never get it) You'll just feel all so empowered. Seriously, hope that you wake up tomorrow & feel this way, everyday. :p

Grooming is so Darn Important!

You can buy the best clothes and accessories, however, if you don't take care of yourself first then you're only making that expensive wardrobe look cheap.

1st of all basics of hygiene is a must. When it comes to extraneous hair(for the Guys), schedule time to trim your nose hairs and other body hair. Keep regular salon appointment(3 to 6weeks depending on the hair styles & yes, this applies to the Ladies as well. But for the Ladies, slighty longer intervals can be taken for those with long locks, if not, no exceptions) to keep yourself from becoming lazy with your hairstyle. For the nails, don't forget the regular upkeep. Oh & yes, skipping a shower is simply not allowed. The importance of a second shower before going anywhere in the evening should never be forgotten. You may have showered in the morning when you wake up but seriously, your going out at about 4pm & your not getting your second shower before going out? You sure about that?

2nd, Wash your face PROPERLY!(This applies to the guys but maybe applicable to certain Ladies as well)
Yes, gentlemen, they actually play an important role by keeping your face and skin healthy. Modern men cannot live by soap and water alone lest you end up with cracked and broken skin. They might be called men’s cosmetics but the following three items form the foundation of healthy grooming: cleansers, toners and moisturizers. A cleanser will go beyond simple soap and remove the dirt and grime that build up in your pores during a hard day. A toner tightens your skin making it tougher for the elements to penetrate, while a moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated. Dry, cracking skin allows germs and dirt into your body (Is that what you want? Didn’t think so). Clean, taught and hydrated skin is your first line of defense against the outside world. Seriously, I have so many guys friends that don't believe in SkinCare. They wash their face with Shower Gel(OMG! Yes, shower gel) dehydrating your face badly, don't even apply moisturizer after that(of cause, they're too lazy to even get a proper facial wash & I'm expecting moisturizer?) & I have friend who DON'T even wash his face!(Yes! he don't believe in washing his face, he just wipe them with water) Seriously, do you still want your face?

3rd, Exfoliate, help your skin rejuvenate itself by removing dead skin cells and debris with an Exfoliator or a Scrub(but personally find scrubs too harsh on the face) You don’t have to do this everyday, a few times a week will do the trick. For deep exfoliation, you could use an exfoliating mask that goes on soft and hardens while soaking up the debris on your skin.

Finally, use a perfume or cologne, & make sure you choose the right one for yourself.
Firstly, you have to understand Perfume's structure. All perfume have 3notes, Top note, Heart note & the Base note.(nope, this has nothing 2 do with your singing notes) Top note is the scent that evaporates first right when you spray on, it last around 10 to 15mins(there are some exceptionally long lasting ones that last for up to 30mins), Heart note that develops a little later & finally the Base note reveals itself.

Don't try more than two scents at a time; you simply won't be able to make a judgment. Spray a spot and don't rub it, you will spoil the composition. Wait for ten minutes allowing the base note to develop before making the decision. Sometimes the base note can take hours to develop. It is a good idea to get a sample and make the purchase the next day.

Don't buy a perfume simply because it is the launch of the season. Check it and see if it really appeals you. After all, you have to walk around with it the whole day. You buy perfumes for yourself and not for people. Any perfume that satisfies you will reflect well with your personality.

You don't have to wear a perfume like a uniform! Try different brands and class of scents. You can use different smells for different times of the day or for your different moods.

Lastly, If you have sensitive skin you should avoid the less expensive mass-produced colognes that contain additives. Stay with organic producers with heavier scents fit for dry skin tones.

Let's Get Groom!

Fashion, Trends, What's in & What's out?

Well, this will be my 1st post on this new blog of mine. Hope it's not my last.

I'm someone who believes in statement, as in Fashion Statement. Never a fan of Trend, of cause unless I personally feel that the trend will become an Iconic thing someday. I like things Classy, cause they are a fashion statement. They are never in, nor are they ever out. Icons like Christina Aguilera, Bags & Shoes from Christian Louboutin are great examples of a Fashion Statement.

Well so here's some stuff we should include in our Fashion Check List if we wanna dress to kill:

For the Ladies

1. Raggedy flip flops & baby tees with clever quotes on the front.TRASH THEM ALL IMMEDIATELY. You’re a grown up, so dress like one
2. Empire waist dresses, long flowing summer dresses, A-line minis and summer shorts. Yes, both the empire waist dress and A-Line mini are still going strong after years. Both are generally figure flattering and can be dressed up or down for every occasion.
3. Before puting away your knee high boots and get into your flip flops or sandals make sure you keep your pedicurist on speed dial.

For the Boys

1. Lose the cheap jewelry, knock it off with the novelty necklaces. Real men know that men’s jewelry should be simple and understated. Feed your need for bling with a single statement piece like a bold watch.
2. Shorts should be slimmer, unpleated and never go below the knees
3. No more freebie tees. They’re great for the gym, sleeping and working with heavy machinery ONLY!
