New Beginnings.

Hi babes!

Here to share a hair product today! :)

I always get questions on how i "curl in" my hair, but i'm actually a noob.

LOL. Not kidding, cos i just curl in using my straightener.

So when Hair Stylers Asia contacted me and asked if i was interested to review their Babyliss Big Hair Curler, i jumped at the chance!

I got the 42mm version! Was really excited to try it out after hearing so many raves about it!

This curler also doubles up as a hair dryer, so it's like a 2 in 1 thing. :)

Those "holes" you see is where the hot air come out from!

The brush is really soft too, and it kinda helps brush your hair at the same time, giving it shine like salon finish.

Here's where you control the heat.

The hotter, the faster you get your curls, like other hair equipments. But i don't really want to ruin my already not so healthy hair, so i just use the minimal. :)

Just above the pink control, you'll see two other tabs. 

One spins inwards, and the other outwards.

There's where you press and the rotating barrel will start spinning to curl your hair! 

Leave it spinning for about 8-10s, release and viola!

Here's my hair and look after i used it for the 2nd time.

Frankly, it isn't that easy to use on the 1st try. Though i did view the video HERE, executing it out myself isn't that simple. My hair got tangled and was stuck by the rotating barrel, and i got frustrated, hahaha.

But once you get the hang of it, it gets really easy!

You can see how the ends are curled inwards, and how smooth looking they are.

It really looks like i just walked out of the salon.

I have been using it almost every other day and you can actually see there are more curls and volume here. :)

One of the tricks i've learnt is not to fully dry your hair.

It works best on slightly damp hair, so leave it 10-20% damp when using.

Another thing is by applying some hair styling products before you use it will help you achieve the curls quicker too. I tried curling without any products and i achieved the curls too, just that it didn't look volumized enough.

Most salons need 15-20 mins to dry and curl your hair after every treatment, but this look can be achieved in 1/2 the time needed, in the comfort of your home, and that's what i love about it. :)

If you're interested to get one, you'll be glad to know there's a $15 discount for my readers!

Went to my favorite salon last weekend to get my hair done for CNY!

And i walked like feeling like i won a million bucks. :p

The roots were growing out and it was so unsightly, so i was really glad they had a makeover!

Fiona, my stylist suggested copper brown for the base to brighten up my look.

And since i've been doing funky colors for the past few months, i did red highlights this round! :)

Freshly taken after i left the salon! :)))

Loving every bit of it i couldn't stop snapping photos. :p

Selling Post.

Hey girls!

I'm selling one of my Chanel bags as i hardly use it! :)

It's a flap bag in lambskin leather, in a really gorgeous and rich shade of cobalt blue! :)

*Color may appear differently on different tech devices due to different specifications, hence do allow for slight variance. 

Comes with gold hardware, with a front logo clasp. 

The interior comes in a deep red lining with one inner side compartment. 

Chain straps can be tucked it and carried as a clutch.

I've only used it once, it's almost as good as brand new.

Measurements: Height 14cm x Length 26cm x Width 7cm

You can see how it looks like when carried HERE.

Only one slight and small scratch on corner of the flap as seen above.

Not very visible in my own opinion unless you scrutinize it. 

Colorwash will be able to touch up if you want. :)

Singapore is only selling the cream/ black, so this color/size is quite rare here.

You can view more details HERE!

Retailing $5380 in stores.

Selling for $4600, slightly nego.

Comes with box and paper bag, full set.

Interested parties, do drop me an email briannawonggg@gmail.com! :)

Sparkle.

I'm sorry if i have been missing, but i just haven't had the heart to take any otds. :'(

Braces are making me look ugly and i don't like how i look like in camera, well most of the time.

So here's my headless otds, haha.

All upcoming pieces!

Top: TCL Keepsake Embellished Swing Top in White

Skirt: TCL Georgia Asymmetrical Skirt in Cobalt

Jacket: TCL Kingston Blazer in White

I've been in more skirts this year than i ever did in my entire 27 years of life.

#notjoking

I never adored wearing skirts cos i don't have hot or sexy legs, and they kinda make me look even skinnier than i already am. So over the years, in my attempt to hide these flaws, i just skipped wearing skirts all together, hur. 

But somewhere along the way, i realized hey, i could make do with some kinds of skirts and not abstain from all. Kept this Zara inspired asymmetrical piece just because it flatters my look. :p

Kingston Blazer is a re-make of our previous sold out Merry Blazer!

I know how awesome the cut it hence we remade it in newer colors.

The fabric is also slightly different cos the previous one didn't have much color choices, but the fit is exactly the same. Kept the white cos i don't own many white pieces yet. I personally like the lilac piece too which comes with peach lining, really sweet looking, but no way i can carry it off, haha. 

Keepsake Embellished Swing Top features beaded embellished details.

In silver beaded details, I can't stress how gorgeous it is in real life, and no my photo does not do any justice to it AT ALL.

#notjokingagain

Everyone needs to own one embellished piece to know how such details add that instant sparkle to your outfits. The top also comes with a nice swing cut which hides the tummy well, something i personally like! 

Ending off this post with my shoes stash this month!

Been into this silvery fetish, probably cos it's Christmas soon i guess!

Still Alive.

Hello! 

I'm still alive and kicking!
Thought i should make an update (and some noise) to let you readers know! :p

Anyway, i've embarked on a braces journey since Monday if you haven't know!

Only metal brackets and rubber bands were put on but it was still so painful on the 1st few days. Things are better now, at least i don't feel much pain. But THANK GOD i didn't have to do any extractions. I was literally jumping for joy for my orthodontist told me he will put that off and see how the teeth shifts after 3 months. :D

I'm kinda dreading this Monday cos i'm going for another visit and more things will be done and added, so yeah, let's see how things go! Gonna embrace it with a positive mindset! 

To those who have asked me why do it when i've straight teeth?

For one, i do not have straight teeth. I've a protruding and jutting front tooth in fact :( 

It's quite bad that i can even slot my fingernail into the gap.

And two, i've a slanted jawline and i'm extremely conscious of how i look like in photos. What i mean is, i am getting more and more conscious of how i look now. :( Of cos, i angle my poses in such a way it's less obvious to people, so if you aren't really close to me, you probably wouldn't have noticed unless you've a keen eye for details! Or i simply just do not post unflattering photos of myself, haha.

I've actually considered this entire thing since i was 16 after i completed O's?

I'll have to do an operation a year later to straighten the jawline. The thought of going through the operation scared me deep, and i kinda put that away. The op will have a minimum down time of 2 weeks, and i'll only be able to drink liquid food. Seriously, DRINK LIQUID food. How is this not scary? When i graduated with my diploma, I actually did check with National Dental Centre to find out more and learnt that it will get even more obvious over the years. But the cost was too high to handle then, coupled with all the fear, i put that thought away again. Ten years later, it's true. :( It has gotten so bad i'm mega conscious how i look like in photos. I couldn't take it, and finally plucked up the courage to "let's whack it man!" It took just 2 weeks, HAHA.

So here i am, finally with braces! :p

To the lovely girls who have dropped me personal emails, thank you!
I will be replying your mails very soon.

And i'm really thankful to have you kind angels dropping notes of your personal experience and sharing these stuffs with me. Thank you and thank you!

I may not have a lot of knowledge and experience to share since it's been only a week, but if you've any questions, you're welcomed to drop me an email! :)

Till then, i'm gonna have a carefree weekend!

Have a blessed one too! :)

Love,

Bree

Outfit from a couple weeks back! :)

Top: Natalie Preppy Top, available on backorders on TCL

Shoes: H&M

I've been meaning to find that perfect white shirt so as to layer them with my knits, but i just couldn't seem to find the right one. So there i was at our suppliers when i spotted this indigo looking knit. Asked her where she got the white shirt from, and it was then that i found out it's attached! What a sweet surprise! :p It kills two birds with one stone cos; 

1. It isn't that warm as it's a one piece.

2. I can get the look i want without having to do any layering!

It's up on backorders now so don't miss it! :)

The Oxford Boots.

I have recently be on a shoes craze! Writing about this makes me wonder if i should do a dedicated post to my new shoes, i have at least 10 new pairs it isn't hard to get it done! :p
I couldn't be any happier when my supplier managed to source for what i've been looking for! :) I'm super glad to be sharing these with you TCL supporters cos i'm pretty sure you girls will love them as much as i do! :)

Sharing of those i found online.

Of course, i didn't end up with these purchases cos of the hefty price tag which came along. I've been on the lookout for such ankle boots ever since i returned from Europe. I got myself a pair there and found it so comfy and easy to match i thought everyone needs to own at least a pair! Make that two or more, cos one simply isn't enough. :p

You might have known i've just returned from Hong Kong. I've been travelling so much this year, seen and learnt so much but that's probably the last leisure trip of the year. Enough of play, I'm back at work, gonna focus for our upcoming busy period ahead! 

Put together my outfits for this trip with this upcoming Oxford Ankle Boots! :)

Top: Plaids Shirt, upcoming on TCL

Jacket: Denim Jacket, upcoming on TCL

Shoes: Oxford Ankle Boots, upcoming on TCL tomorrow

One thing i love about boots is how they instantly dresses up the entire look.

You can see how i'm wearing just day to day staple pieces, but with a pair of boots, the overall look changes! You don't look so sloppy or too casual, if you get what i mean.

This pair comes in brown or black. I kept the brown only because i've too many blacks and this brown comes in a really lovely shade! :) It isn't too hard to match with outfits too!

The rest of the sneaks are available on Facebook now!

I kept more than just one pair, so i'm hoping you girls love this shoes/bags collection we've put together! :)

We'll see you tomorrow at 830pm! :)
