Fashion & Style Diary
Welcome to my home! This is my little space in all its pre-renovation glory. Many people who saw it thought it was a terrible buy, but I definitely saw its potential. Let me know what you think of it!

Final part of this chat with Divian and Dee Kosh from 987fm (otherwise known collectively as The Double D’s), and this time they talk about what to wear on a first date, what styles they hate and…which men they love (seems we have the same taste!).

Radiant Orchid was named the ‘colour of the season’ by Pantone, and said to ‘intrigue the eye and spark imagination’ (Shannon Mason, J.C. Penney trend expert). I looked into my wardrobe and realised I have nothing in this blend of fuchsia and purple – the horrors! Lol.
Found this burgundy pleated top with Radiant Orchid flowers stitched on the sides, so it’s have to do for now!
At the risk of sounding like a fashion victim, I do think it’s a pretty shade, and one that is flattering on Asian skin tones, so time to stock up!

Second part of this chat with Divian and Dee Kosh from 987fm (otherwise known collectively as The Double D’s), and this time they talk about fashion disasters, their own personal style, and what women should wear to get their attention – it’s not what you think!

The ChicPeek team got together to discuss what and where to film new episodes, and somehow we got sidetracked (as we do!) to bits of industry gossip. I shared with the team how the tables were turned on ME this time when I was interviewed by Mothership on uniforms (army or police? ACS or RI?) and who the best-dressed politician is, and then we got to talking about who got it seriously wrong (sartorially!) in 2013.
In case you are wondering what I meant by ‘the tables were turned on me’; yes, here’s me pouncing on boys in uniforms, lol.
So anyway that led to us deciding to cover what to throw out and what to keep in your wardrobe for 2014, and the team convinced me to open up my place for the filming.
I am usually very private about my place; over the years, for various reasons, magazines and newspaper have asked to feature my place, but I have usually declined because of my family. They prefer to remain private. My mum balked when I asked her a few years ago if she was okay with a local magazine coming to feature my wardrobe some years ago.
After I moved out to my own place in 2010, I think some of mum may have rubbed off on me, and I still chose not have my place featured. However, I’ve since moved once again, and while my previous place was about 50% of how I wanted it to look, this new place is 90% (meaning almost; in my terms, that’s like practically perfect because I am a perfectionist!) there – dream home, fulfilled!
It is a conservation building and it was in real bad shape, meaning it was a real labour of love to get it to what it looks like now (structures, piping, plumbing, among the other aesthetics…), so I’ve decided to share. It also made filming a lot easier as there wasn’t a need to pack and move clothes, shoes and accessories around! I will give you the grand tour of the space in another episode of ChicPeek, but here’s a sneak peek in the meantime.
DP Daryl is very precise in what he wants. This is how we achieved the top-angle shots in the video.
Went up to the roof as well!
Producer Terence demonstrating his favourite ‘fashion pose’, the “Dislocated Elbow’.
I daresay he does a better job of it than I do!
Had to balance in 3-inch heels and ‘walk up and down’ the ledge to shoot this one. It was a little scary!
Terence seemed to be having a ball of a time from his even-higher perch. (Try it in heels next time though, buddy!)
Outfit pictures soon! And in case you missed it, here are the finished products:

Peplums, neon, mullet dresses, skater skirts, block heels…these were cool in 2013 but are they still hot in 2014? I found myself forced (by lack of space!) to do a massive clear out before Chinese New Year to make way for all my new clothes, and realised that there were certain things I couldn’t see myself wearing in 2014.
If you faced or are facing a similar dilemma, you’ll be pleased to know that I’ve done some of the legwork for you!
I’ve also included tips on what to buy to update your wardrobe for 2014 so you look fresh and current. You can thank me by sharing the video! =)
