Monochrome Fur

June 26, 2012 by Regina Chow 2 Comments

I like how this navy blue fur jacket from Zara complements practically everything in my wardrobe. This time, I matched it with a beautiful monochrome striped dress from Club Couture.

The asymmetrical neckline and geometric stripes create a dramatic entrance in a way that’s visually stimulating.

I styled my hair differently as well.

As you can tell, my hair has grown quite a bit in recent months and I can finally experiment with different styles!

Here’s a clearer look. I modified the hairstyle based on a similar tutorial which I posted on Pinterest earlier.

The monochrome striepd dress is currently sold out on Club Couture’s site, but I personally think that the Katy One Shoulder Dress is the perfect alternative.

The Little Black Dress

June 23, 2012 by Regina Chow 2 Comments

The little black dress has always been a wardrobe staple. If you’re on the lookout for yet another little black dress, the Natalie Skater Dress from Eternity Loft is definitely a keeper thanks to its flattering cut and gorgeous lace material.

One can never have too many black dresses because there are so many ways to jazz it up and create different looks to suit every occasion.

Here, I paired the lovely dress with Eternity Loft’s very own detachable lace collar, bow stockings, Chanel pumps, a Korean black and white tweed blazer, a beret style hairband and my trusty Louis Vuitton Idylle Speedy.

On a less formal occasion, I decided to layer the dress with a cute polka dot top so it looks like I’m actually wearing a skirt. I threw on a statement ring, a different pair of stockings and there, I’m all ready to go!

When the weather gets chilly in the later part of the day during winter, a little fur jacket was all I needed to complete the look and keep warm at the same time.

Isn’t it amazing what a little black dress can do? 🙂

Eternity Loft is also having a clearance sale now, so head on down to bag some great bargains!

Happy Shopping girls!

SIA Cup at the Singapore Turf Club

June 19, 2012 by Regina Chow No Comments

Thanks to the Singapore Turf Club, I had the opportunity to attend the SIA Cup last month along with Karen, William and Hong Peng. As we could each invite a friend, it was wonderful to be able to share the excitement of this fun-filled signature event with good friends Sushi and JP, among other new faces.

Unlike the previous races that I attended, this was the first time that we got up close and personal with the horses.

We could almost reach out to touch the horses and it was absolutely fascinating to see these agile creatures sashay on the parade grounds, putting their best foot forward in their race attire like fashion models on the runway.
You could also tell if the horses were in tip-top shape from the way they trotted around the parade grounds. Some gave their handlers a hard time as they were all fired up and ready to charge (which is a good sign I believe!), while others appeared more docile and obedient. Lady luck was shining on me that night because I’ve never had much luck with horses but this time, I finally won!

Did I also mention that we had the good fortune of meeting Mediacorp celebrities Thomas Ong and Priscelia Chan ? There wasn’t much time for mingling but we certainly wasted no time when it came to taking photos with the stars.

And of course, we had to take pictures on the red carpet!

JP and me

Pretty ladies all in a row

Now for the guys.

We couldn’t have left the lovely SQ air stewardesses out, could we?

Now, here’s presenting to you the amazing lady who ensured that everything went like clockwork. Many many thanks to Jessie for inviting us to be part of this spectacular event!

Group photo before we called it a night!

My dress and lace pillbox hat for the night were from Dustbunny Vintage. In fact, Karen, Sushi and I were all dressed in Dustbunny Vintage dresses! I know I’ve said this for the umpteenth time, but Pia definitely has the most amazing dresses and accessories for every occasion!

Floral Denim

June 18, 2012 by Regina Chow 1 Comment

Floral denim has made a comeback this summer, but while it is great to see floral jeans in bold, contrasting colours, I personally prefer my floral jeans in subtler pastel shades.

I got this pair of jeans from Zara a while back. I wore it several times but it has proved to be extremely difficult to photograph because the colours simply do not show up well outdoors. This is what it looks like in real life.

I love playing with colours, and this pastel floral jeans allows me to do just that without looking like a clown thanks to the muted colours.

On the other hand, I think that its bolder counterparts (e.g. black base with bright floral prints) are harder to pull off without looking like you’re wearing pajamas or your granny’s clothes out, but that’s just my opinion. Experimenting with bold prints is fun, but versatility and practicality are far more important to me.

My only grouse about this pair of jeans is that it’s a little loose all around. I like my jeans snug and crease-free so I’m hoping that it’ll shrink after a round in the dryer. Wish me luck! If you’ve tips on how to shrink your jeans, please let me know ok?

The Art of Photography

June 11, 2012 by Regina Chow 4 Comments

By the time you see this post, I’ll be up at Snowy Mountains for a 1 week ski trip! Meanwhile though, I thought I’ll take the opportunity to share more pictures from my shoot with KC from Tiny Dot Photography. 😉

I really adore this set of photos, especially the ones taken with the trees in the backdrop. Everything was picture perfect, right down to the lighting, mood and setting. Of course, I have KC to thank for capturing such beautiful pictures.

The sun rays streaming down from the sky cast a beautiful ray of light that’s almost magical. I felt like I was transported to an enchanted forest where fairies and pixies frolick with their little wands.

KC also took another series of photos of me in the same outfit in the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood. Immaculate attention to details was the focus of this series.

Again, I love how the images are framed, like in the photograph above.

More often than not, being a photographer is not about having the most expensive lens or the best camera.

A good photographer has the aesthetic awareness and creativity to conjure impactful images, even in the simplest of surroundings. 🙂 That, to me, is the art of photography.

Selina Toga Dress by Eternity Loft

June 5, 2012 by Regina Chow 3 Comments

I have always been a fan of toga dresses because they reveal just a hint of flesh, which to me, is sexy without going overboard. I particularly adore the Selina Toga Dress from Eternity Loft’s Summer Desire Collection as it comes in cheerful, summery shades, making it the perfect dress for every occasion!

I chose the dress in Marine as it comes with a contrasting coral sash. Shades of green are so on trend now and the combination of marine with coral literally took my breath away because colourblocking with candy shades is one of my favourite trends. 😉

Besides the gorgeous colour, I also love the cut-out shoulder panel and swing skirt, both of which enhance the female silhouette with utmost grace, allure and sophistication. Dressing it up or down is also not an issue as a change of footwear and accessories will easily do the trick.

This lovely number comes in Coral, Lilac and Cream, and would be an ideal choice for bridesmaid dresses too. How very versatile indeed!

Colour Blocking with Pastel and Candy Colours

June 3, 2012 by Regina Chow 5 Comments

I don’t quite fancy the wintry weather as it can get so dreary at times, especially when it rains, the sun sets prematurely at 5p.m. and everyone is dressed in shades of black and grey.

I’ve been stocking up on clothes in candy colours this season and they’re the perfect antidote to battle the depressing weather. I think bright candy colours help to dispel negative energy as well as rebalance the body emotionally and physically. You can also probably tell that I’ve not gotten over the colourblocking phase, except that this time, I’m colourblocking with candy and pastel shades.

I reworked the same pair of mint jeans on a separate occasion with a mustard coloured top and purple booties. The end result looks a little kiddy in my opinion, but it was all done in the name of fun. 😉

Have a great Sunday ahead!

A Walk Down Memory Lane

May 31, 2012 by Regina Chow 3 Comments

Just wanted to share another set of photos taken by KC of Tiny Dot Photography. The first shot is my favourite because unlike the usual profile shots, I like how the strands of flyaway hair broke loose and took on a life of their own, adding movement and interest to the photo.

The perfection of imperfection, that’s what it is.

As we strolled along the back alleys, we came across a distinctive stand-alone circular building which is so rare, you probably wouldn’t find it anywhere else on the very cosmopolitan city state of Singapore these days. I particularly like the retro feel of the photos, and this cute little blue van below is quite possibly the perfect prop for prewedding shoots!

The last two shots that I’m sharing with you are a little different from my usual photos. I guess they’re more expressive in a melancholic and contemplative way. I personally like how these photos turned out. How about you?

Autumn Chills

May 30, 2012 by Regina Chow 2 Comments

It’s autumn over here and I’m glad I can finally put all my fluffy trench coats and jackets to good use. The weather is much cooler than I expected, especially indoors because heaters aren’t provided in the university apartments. We’ve one that’s left behind by the previous tenant, but I reckon it emits less heat than a hot water bottle. :S

Trench coat from Hong Kong
Lace stockings from Topshop
Bow Heels from Dip Drops
Idylle Speedy Bag from Louis Vuitton
Hairband (looks like a hat isn’t it?) from Talisman, FEP

I’ve lived in Beijing in winter during subzero conditions, but this is the first time I actually feel cold indoors! Time for us to get a REAL heater soon….

Vintage 60s and Tinydot Photography

May 24, 2012 by Regina Chow 2 Comments

I did a fashion photoshoot with KC from Tinydot Photography last Sunday at Tiong Bahru. KC was my prewedding photographer. He did a magnificent job for our Macau shoot and I love his photos. It was definitely an honour to be able to work with such a talented photographer!

Although KC specializes in wedding photography, he was game to try something new this time and so was I. 😉

The theme for the photoshoot was vintage 60s, which is pretty much my usual style of dressing. I did the make-up, styling and modelling while KC worked his magic with two film cameras. This is the first set of photos that were taken. No editing was done.

Mint lace top from H&M
Detachable pearl collar from Hong Kong
Pink floral tulle skirt from FEP
Nude Pumps from Zara
Candy striped socks from Topshop

I can’t begin to tell you how much I adore Tiong Bahru. I must have said it several times, but this quaint little neighbourhood has such a charming, old world charm and oodles of character.

I like the way the images are framed as well as how light is used to add that soft glow and old-school vibe to the photos.

I’ll be sharing more photos in time to come, so keep checking back!
