    Fruity Fruity Lite!

    Advertorial

    Don't know about you guys, but I always have this problem at home. Whenever I eat meals at home, which is pretty often, I always feel like I want to have a drink to go with it.

    Not plain water coz it's not as nice, but packet/can drinks always runs out so fast (not to mention damn heavy to lug home from stores), and they are real unhealthy!!

    Since my meals are already usually healthy, I'm always on the lookout for a drink that is LIGHT, REFRESHING, and even better if it has health benefits too!

    It really irks me sour drinks sold are mostly very strong tasting, like iced lemon tea (too sweet usually) or lime juice (too sour, not light enough).

    AND I WAS SPONSORED FRUITY LITE!!! (link)

    Since it's already a best seller in Watsons, I think some of you might have heard about it before.



    Fruity Lite is a healthy, refreshing plum-like all natural digestive drink specially manufactured through advanced scientific methods from high grade hawthorn fruit.


    Here's how it looks like


    Never heard of it? Neither have I.

    But this magical fruit can help digestion, reduce lipid levels in the body, reduce bad breath and improve blood circulation! It also exhibits potent antioxidant properties.




    The box is resealable, and...



    Comes in 12 light satchels for easy mixing!! Yums!!



    Like this!

    I really love this drink because it tastes awesome and is so easy to make!

    Its flavour is kinda like plum but it is very mild and only very slightly sweet.

    Really thirst-quenching too.

    The best time to drink it is after an oily, heavy meal, because it really helps cleanse your palette and dispel the oily feeling! After drinking it I realised it makes me feel a lot less bloated.

    Plus, it leaves your breath smelling nice!! :D Don't ask me how the hawthorn fruit does it, I don't know. Maybe it's just magical.


    As for easy to make, here's how to do it:




    Tear open satchel



    And you'd find the dry mix inside. Ugly but it's good stuff!



    Pour into glass



    Add water! Warm, cold, room temperature. Up to you! (I'm using cold)



    Done!



    OMG it dissolves!



    Stir till happy



    Check it



    Add some ice



    And there you have it, yum yum yum!!



    Drink it



    Drink it some more



    Finish it!

    A great healthy alternative to soft drinks! Fruity Lite even helps relieve constipation!!!



    CHINESE NEW YEAR IS COMING!!!



    Treat your guests to Fruity Lite...

    It's only $6.90 per box, and best of all...


    When you buy a big box you
    get a small box totally free!!



    Awesome.

    Get your Fruity Lite today at any Watsons and other supermarkets... It's so cheap, really a must-try!

    Pamper your hair!

    Advertorial

    I've been dyeing my hair even since I got out of Secondary school at 16 so it has been a good 9 years straight! (I feel so old suddenly)

    And I've been bleaching my hair to almost platinum blonde for a good long time now, so naturally my hair is really damaged!!! The ends are so tangled and dry.

    Many people often lament after doing hair stuff like perming, dyeing or rebonding that their hair becomes this tangled, split-ended mess.

    And in their panic, they always end up cutting their hair short! Which is why you don't see that many bleached blondes with long hair, correct?

    BUT! I am a believer that hair CAN and WILL be revived even when it is damaged, as long as you keep going on with hair treatments!!

    So imagine how happy I was when I was invited to try out the new Essential Intensive Hair Mask treatment at a salon! (Treatments are great, and so is having someone wash your hair and massage your scalp!)

    If I wasn't already happy, I'd also be cheered up upon reaching there, you know why? COZ ALL THE PRODUCTS ARE SO CHIO!!!!






    Here's a seat + mirror in the salon decorated Essential style!!

    Did I mention I love girly stuff???



    And here I am in a princessy chair decorated with flowers!! Chio chio chio!

    There is a little netbook there too, which is on Essential's website
    so you can surf and not get too bored!

    Go and see, the site is mad chio also:

    HTTP://WWW.SASSYKAWAII.COM



    My stellar hair mask treatment for the day, in cheery pink and orange:

    ESSENTIAL NUANCE AIRY and RICH PREMIER!




    Nuance Airy for limp and flat hair to be light and bouncy, Rich Premier for unruly hair to become smooth and manageable!


    I've already seen Essential products in many stores and everytime it just makes me take a second look coz they are packaged so prettily!! Essential is a really established brand from Japan - no wonder their stuff are so chio!




    Here's my hair stylist having a look at my fried hair ends. It is thereby recommended that I use Rich Premier!



    Getting a wash first! With Essential shampoo!



    Getting the mask out. Since this mask is for you to do at home, it is of course not necessary for you to use the bowl/comb. But if you have those then obviously it would be easier!





    Stylist applying some for me to show me how it's done...



    And here I am being clever and independent by doing it myself!!

    It's really simple. Try to avoid your roots and section your hair, then rub in the hair mask!! Make sure you get the ends.

    Smells really nice too. :)



    See?



    And done! Now I'm just waiting for 15 mins for the mask to reach its full potential.



    Camwhore in the meantime...


    AND DONE!!!!!!




    Look! I'm one of the Essential girls! LOL



    Loves it!

    Hair becomes much softer, smoother
    and silkier to the touch!!


    The hair mask is intensive enough to effectively repair your
    hair yet it doesn’t feel heavy on your hair after use. :)




    Good hair days are awesome!



    Here's my hair 1 day after the treatment, curled with scrunchies while I slept and with some baby oil I put on it...





    Want to get fab hair??

    Put on a mask today and pamper your hair!!



    Essential Intensive Hair Mask is available at all major supermarkets, Watsons and beauty stores!

    Are your eyes the next big thing?

    Advertorial

    I think that make up has improved leaps and bounds over the last few years.

    It used to be really uncommon for girls to wear fake lashes... Everyone just used mascara (which, imho, is really useless)... which was really tragic! I remembered having to curl my obstinately straight lashes for hours before they could curl for like 2 minutes, then, in the humidity, go depressingly droopy again. :(

    And not to mention that eyelash extensions were not even invented yet!!

    As for coloured contacts, I remember that they were really rarely used, and used to be so expensive!

    But now everybody wears coloured or iris enlarging lenses!! Even the coloured lenses make eyes look bigger and brighter too!

    Well most (smart) girls in Singapore do lah anyway.

    I mean, if you were already short sighted, why not choose coloured lenses instead of plain ones to give your looks a boost??

    I have perfect eyesight and I still wear coloured contacts anyway lor! Mad hiao!

    And I'm happy because the more people wear cosmetic lenses, the more different colours will be created!


    AND FRESHLOOK (best selling brand for cosmetic lenses!) HAS 3 NEW COLOURS!


    GEMSTONE GREEN
    .
    STERLING GRAY
    .
    BRILLIANT BLUE


    I love Freshlook's patented 3-in-1 technology that blends 3 colours into a single lens, making it look so much more 3D and realistic!

    Here I am, 'modeling' 2 of their new babies!








    COOL HUH??

    I especially love their brilliant blue (and normally I'm not a fan of blue lenses coz I feel that blonde + blue eyes a bit like too act angmoh), coz the colour is SOOOOOOOO VIBRANT!!

    Like so striking you can see it from a distance!



    Nice. :D


    Freshlook has a fanpage now on Facebook, and they are searching for The Next Big Thing... contestants to win a year's supply of cosmetic lenses!

    The contest is already closed, but do join the fanpage so you can find out more about future contests and also, check out the 10 lucky finalists!

    If you support the winner, you stand a chance to win Freshlook lenses worth $42!

    p/s: Every girl should wear cosmetic lenses unless they are born with strikingly coloured/hugeass irises. It makes such an improvement to looks!

    A Monfae A Day!

    Advertorial

    More ideas of what to get for friends and family for Xmas!

    WATCHES!!

    Monfae is a newly set up local company selling many designs of affordable watches ranging from $39 to $59 only!!


    Their timepieces are all internally designed and comes with a 2 year warranty and are water resistant!

    Their quality is guaranteed to be good!

    Many watches nowadays either range from $100 and up from places like City Chain or are of the $10 push cart variety.

    Some of us want to be able to match our daily outfits with suitable watches, but $100 seems to much to pay for, and the $10 sort rusts and spoils after like 2 weeks or something.

    But at $39 to $59, these fashionable watches can also double up as accessories!

    So that's where Monfae comes in... =)


    Went to their grand opening last week:






    The watches are all displayed uniquely in the sense that you can try on any piece you want! Not behind glass cabinets for display only.



    From blinged up dressy watches to casual ones...



    With straps of your choice (so many!) and a lovely box with ribbon with every purchase so your watch is "gift-ready"!

    All the straps are durable and made of real leather.



    And here I am posing with a Monfae timepiece!


    Best thing about Monfae is... If you spend $50 and above, you get a membership card which entitles you to 20% off the next time you go there!

    Shiok right? With 20% off a $30 watch becomes $24 only!

    Here are the 4 designs Monfae sponsored me:



    PINK - with a chio rose gold frame...



    BROWN
    - with diamantes shattered all over!



    RED - Gems to tell the time



    AND BLACK! With matching black Swarovski crystals.




    Used the watches to match 4 different looks!

    Camwhoring time!



    Pink and Fluffy








    Earth shades






    Vivid Red







    Mysterious Black






    Which look is your favourite?



    Monfae is located in Plaza Singapura, 2nd floor.

    So do go there and have a look - support local brands!!!!!!

    Easy peasy shopping!

    Advertorial

    I don't know about you guys, but it has been like YEARS since I last did Xmas shopping.

    As I grow older and older, I start to realise that my patience for squeezing through sweaty crowds is waning.

    It's just... Shopping is supposed to be fun, and on top of having to...

    1) Decide what to get for people (annoying if you don't know what they want)

    2) Hunt it down (annoying if only very few places sell it)

    3) Find the place with the best price for it... (Just annoying in general)...



    You still have to go through the hassle of taking time out of your schedule to do it!

    But boh pian, still have to do it, right?


    So what's the simplest and most efficient way to get it done?


    VIA INTERNET SHOPPING!!


    International websites take weeks to deliver, and that might be a bit rushed for Xmas... If you are busy or plain hate shopping, here's a solution for you!

    You can shop here:




    Instead of going out to shop, shopping now comes to the comfort of your own home!!

    The Battle Against the Double Chin

    Advertorial

    After getting a nose job, the thing I hated the most about my face had to be my chin and neck.

    I know you guys are probably thinking I am being ludicrous, but most of the pictures you see on this blog are majorly photoshopped anyway! You have no idea how much I have to push my jaw in with liquify (photoshop tool)!!!!!!!

    And not to mention my stupid fatass neck. What a stupid area to get fats in!

    Anyway, double chins and neck fats are notoriously hard to get rid of. I remembered asking Dr Martin Huang how he would suggest I get a bloody slender neck, and he gave me loads of options but all of them sounded rather complicated (and expensive)!

    He also suggested perhaps a chin implant, but...


    1) I don't wanna end up looking like THIS FREAK:

    Blergh!

    And 2) I HAVE A CHIN!!! I do! It's just that it's hidden under fats!

    So you can imagine I was really quite excited when I was given a new product to try:



    THE FACE BRA!!!!!!!!!!



    Here's Yufit's hot face shaper bra!


    And their Age and Lock neck and chin face bra...

    The difference between the two products is that one (the hot one) is meant to burn fats while the other moisturises and reduces wrinkles!


    And both do facial slimming, lifting up of face and reducing double chin!!


    I think it's really cool that people are finally coming up with products meant for the chin and neck, which are so often neglected and yet as important as the face!




    A box of the Hot face bra for $35 with 7 packets inside.


    Age-lock with 14 masks altogether in one box.



    The Hot face bra claims to be "self-heating".
    Does it really work?

    And what exactly is a "FACE BRA"??

    I'm going to try it on now!!



    Here's the mask stretched out.



    Hang both ends on your ears!!

    And the suspicious liquid on my shin was dripped from the mask. -_-


    And I have it on!


    SHOCKINGLY enough, after about 5 mins of having the face bra on, it started to heat up!!

    And I mean REALLY heat up!!

    I don't know what magical ingredient is in there but if it's so hot it's surely burning SOMETHING right??

    AND you won't believe this but it continues being hot for the next 40 mins! I mean hot is in "spicy" hot, not temperature hot btw.


    Anyway I had to wait for 30 - 40 minutes while having the mask on so while waiting, I check out the other products Lush Group sent me!




    Sunscreen, 2 bb creams, and 2 foundations!!


    And check out Elishacoy's luscious masks and cleanser!!

    Of all the products they sent me, my favourite is...





    The Milk Cacao Black Sugar Scrub!!!!


    It looks all brownish and gross here but I assure you that it's super luxurious!!!!!!!


    I'm madly in love with it!

    The scrub smells SO FREAKING GOOD! The smooth brown gel just glides onto your skin and it smells like rich chocolate with a strong caramel scent...

    I was so freaking tempted to taste it but managed to stop myself...

    When you put it on your skin, you can feel the sugar grains... And as you rub and exfoliate, the grains disappear!

    Not only does your skin become super soft afterwards, you can also see how u look like tan coz the gel is dark brown!! LOL... So fun.


    I also like their cleanser btw. It's pretty good! Not too dry after using and quite foamy.

    Also, Elishacoy’s product are all made from organic and botanical ingredients which are suitable for sensitive skin!!



    Ok after 40 mins of the hot face bra...


    HERE ARE THE RESULTS!!!

    BEFORE, with no photoshop on chin/jawline


    AFTER!! (With Pumpkin climbing on my lap)


    It's a bit hard to tell the difference so here are the before and after side by side:


    What do you think? Got difference???




    Here's another Before and After photo I took about 1 month ago when I first got the product...

    I think the slimming is more apparent here!


    I mean obviously the difference is not going to be freaking remarkably different. After all, I only tried the mask twice, and it's not magic!


    I can definitely feel my skin tighten though. Even if it doesn't slim down your face or your face is slim enough, it is still useful to prevent wrinkles and moisturize!




    So here I am also doing the Age and Lock mask on my neck!!! :D :D :D It makes me look like I have a stiff collar. LOL!!


    Can't believe I showed you all my non-photoshopped jawline!! Utterly flabby and gross!!


    Here's the photoshopped one. I insist.



    Definitely more effective than the face bra but too bad it can't be used in real life. Boo!!!!!

    Last chio pic!



    Yufit's face shaper bra and Age-Lock Cold face shaper bra cost $35 each and are available at all SASA cosmetic stores and John Little departmental stores.

    Elishacoy's products are available at all John Little departmental stores. Have fun shopping!

    Delicious like Mee!

    Advertorial

    Everyone knows I'm a HUGE fan of instant mee.

    Besides the fact that I mostly take my dinners at about 3am when food choices are sparse, instant mee can also be really delicious!!

    And not to mention easy to prepare.

    So imagine how happy I was when Nong Shim (and that's an instant mee brand in case you live in a box) sponsored me 2 huge packs of their new flavours to try!!


    AND I AM GOING TO COOK THEM!!!!!!!!




    Here I am, pretending to be a connoisseur of noodles with a crudely drawn on chef hat.



    And my noodles - in Kimchi and Curry Ramen! Both sound promising!


    Ok lah I'd be honest here. Actually I didn't think the kimchi sounded promising, because I don't like kimchi!

    However, there is something different about THIS packet:


    It has freaking CHEESE in it!!

    I've never tried Nong Shim noodles prior to this, so before agreeing to do this advertorial, I asked Shuyin if their noodles were nice. She answered that they were, and the kimchi flavour tasted really good if cheese were to be added to it.


    So I guess the company has realised this and made new flavours with cheese already added inside for everyone's convenience!


    In fact, I did some research and found out that the Koreans all put cheese in their kimchi noodles! It's like a norm there!

    Nong Shim's kimchi noodle has been a major hit in Singapore since its launch and still is - but this new variant is added with cheese for a twist!

    BOTH variants can be found in all major supermarkets.

    And another friend, Sheng Rong, abso-fucking-lutely LOVES Nong Shim. He said it's his FAVOURITE instant mee. But then again he also likes sea urchin and stuff like that, so I didn't really trust him.

    Well, it's time to try them out!


    Here's my "lunch" (8pm)... The packets are HUGE! The tiny packet is your normal instant mee's size.


    The instructions are very precise - down to the SECOND!! It tells you to cook for 4mins 30seconds.

    However, for a master chef such as myself, I'm gonna cook it according to my superior gut feel.



    Here's my ingredients for the Curry Ramen... Not including the can opener and tomato timer at the background - We have...

    - Coconut Milk
    - An egg


    It is of course not necessary to add the extra ingredients in but imho, curry ramen always tastes better with an egg in it!

    The coconut milk of course makes it much more fragrant.





    Inside the packs...


    Bringing my soup to a boil...




    Egg added...




    AND DONE!!!



    Here's my work of art - how does it look??

    I don't care what you say, it looks awesome!




    QQ bouncy noodles... Yums!


    Now for the taste test:






    PASS WITH FLYING COLOURS!!!!!!!! Hahahaha!!

    It's damn nice lah!!

    You will notice that my noodles are rather dry. That's coz I love the soup thicker and more tasty - plus (and these are words of wisdom), you can always add plain water to the soup if it's too thick, but if it's too diluted you can't do anything about it!

    Anyway, the curry is really different from all the other curry flavoured noodles!

    It is thicker... more "sandy" if u know what I mean, in a good way - more textured. Also not so spicy - kinda like japanese curry!

    Loves it!!

    Nong shim's noodles, as Sheng Rong has warned me, are a bit difficult to get perfect. And I mean the noodles themselves.

    The noodles are slightly thicker and more Q than normal instant mee, so to get it right you have to take them out whenever they are ready - ie after every noodle stopped being hard!

    The end result - soft and smooth on the outside, with the core delightfully al dente!! It's carb heaven!



    Now for the Cheese Kimchi flavour!




    Here's my ingredients for this:

    - Veggies - is it called Xiao bai cai??
    - Cheese cubes!






    Bright red flavouring


    After adding the powder to the base, the smell of cheese came out so strongly that I decided to just use one extra cube of cheese instead of two coz it really seems to be enough already!


    Simmering...




    I felt a little apprehensive eating this (as I didn't like kimchi) but it's scrumptious!!!!!!!!!!!

    To my pleasant surprise, it doesn't have the very strong sour smell of kimchi at all! Or maybe it does (I only had kimchi ONCE) but somehow I love it!!

    The soup is delightfully savoury and flavourful... Spicy, with the melty aftertaste of cheese. And yes, the cheese can DEFINITELY be tasted!! Very creamy too!

    It is a very unique flavour. No other noodles I've ever tried tastes even vaguely similar!!

    Hiyah don't know how to describe lah. It's just nice and yummy! Not very expensive anyway so just go try it out yourself!!



    Here's Mike and I eating our noodles while watching TV!!!!

    He looks so blissful everytime I cook, lol


    And finished right to the last bite!!


    You hungry yet?


    Get your own Nong Shim at at major supermarket! :D

    When 140 Characters Just Isn't Enough

    Advertorial

    Everyone knows I'm a big fan of Twitter...

    However, Twitter does have its limitations, and everyone knows what it is: It's only limited to words, links, and these all have to be within 140 characters - the same length as an sms!

    As Twitter grew in popularity, people have been trying to work around its flaws, like using URL shorteners or other sites to post photos on Twitter... Singaporean users can't even use SMS for Twitter because it's a USA number!

    So, to fill up this void for the more avid Twitter users, here comes MOBJET.com!! All the way from Japan and now it's in Singapore too!

    What IS mobjet.com?

    Think of it as a mixture of Twitter + whatever blog engine you are using. Twitter without a word limit, and you can post ANYTHING on it!

    I'm really impressed. When they say anything, they REALLY mean anything!

    You know how people nowadays are really into using their mobile phones right? Yup. So you take a video of, say, a colourful butterfly that you saw while waiting for the bus. It's gorgeous, fluttering away... And you want to post this on the internet??

    Easy - through your mobile phone, send it via email to post@mobjet.com - and it will be posted on your mobjet page!

    Want to record yourself singing in the bathroom and let everyone be tormented by your screechy voice? You can go ahead and do the same thing!

    Now here's the MAGIC of mobjet: Not only are all uploads swift and easy, they are all CONVERTED!


    Even if you have a weird mobile phone which records audio in funny formats, Mobjet automatically converts your files for you, so that when it's posted, it's a universal format, such as mp3! Thousands of formats, numerous conversions each day!

    If you wish to hear an audio clip on your phone from someone else's jet (this word is used like 'tweet') and your phone only plays a weird format, Mobjet also detects your phone and plays it for you! Sounds really complicated but some geeks out there are handling it, so all you have to do is just email stuff!

    Isn't that cool? As far as I know, no other website makes it SO easy for you.


    Digressing, I bought new contact lens from this brand called Solotica some time ago and they just arrived! The colour is gorgeous, a very light grey. Basically everyone has been asking me to snap pictures of me wearing them, so I put on some make up and snapped shots on my webcam!!

    Since I wanted to also test out Mobjet, I posted all these photos on my mobjet stream!


    Here's how my page looks like now!


    Neat isn't it? All I did was to post a series of photos as attachments in the same email, and they get sent as a mini photo album!

    When you click on the post, here's what happens:




    Getting carpal tunnel from all the clicking? You can select it to play as a slideshow.

    Took a vertical photo and now it looks stupid on the internet? Rotate it!

    Want to see my face in its full glory? Expand to full screen!



    What I love most about Mobjet is the ability to upload MUSIC!

    Or rather, I guess audio files.

    I uploaded a song, and it is not only very fast and easy to do so, it is also easy to play it back... Plus they allow embedding and downloading too! Click here to hear it!


    And Mobjet's launching with a bang!

    Transparent is the New Black

    Advertorial

    Hi.

    This is the new LG phone, the LG GD900 Crystal:



    It seems so boring.



    However, the LG Crystal has a secret!!


    Something no other phones in the market have...




    Have you spotted it yet??


    It has a utterly transparent keypad!!


    OMGWTFBBQ!!! So transparent, that in fact, every girl having the privilege of getting the phone is doing this:


    Now I see you, now I don't... wait, I still do coz it's transparent! HAHAHA!



    To be honest, I saw a demo video of the phone about a month ago, before it was launched in Singapore, and I was THOROUGHLY AMAZED!

    Not only does the keypad work, it has this pale white glowy light lighted up from goodness knows where coz I certainly can't see any bulbs!!

    And...

    The alphanumeric transparent keypad doubles as a touchpad for controlling the phone.

    It can be used like a laptop trackpad, has handwriting recognition, responds to multi-touch commands and accommodates Gesture Command. (Meaning if you use your finger to write an M, Music turns on!!



    Technology is amazing!!!

    The LG Crystal also comes with a ridiculously powerful 8mp camera. Tried and tested. Its photo quality made my current phone die of shame.


    BOTH the main screen and touchpad are touch-sensitive. Makes web-surfing a breeze! Wifi-enabled, MP3 player... And all that jazz that smartphones nowadays come embedded with.



    But the thing that sets the LG Crystal apart from the multitude of other smartphones is STYLE.


    Afterall, who else is so Clearly Fashionable? Eh, eh? See the pun??

    I know, I totally stole the LG slogan and tried to pass it off as my own joke, but still.


    I really like the transparent touchpad. The touchpad is in fact a slim tempered glass, and the battery door is also transparent.

    Therefore, there is a space in between the touchpad and battery door!!


    This gave me ideas, so......





    I pour crystals into the space!!



    So chio!!


    However, this makes the phone not be able to slide completely close, so maybe you don't want to do that.

    But this opens up a whole world of possibilities on how to customize your phone!

    You can stick a photo on the battery door and it can be seen from the front, etc!


    Transparent phone in transparent heart



    Anyway, you must be thinking, "Talk so much, are you going to show us a contest where we can win this phone or not??"



    YES I AM!!!!!


    The contest is real simple, and FUN too!!







    All you have to do, first, is to join LG Crystal's fan page on facebook, HERE.

    And follow these steps:

    1) Take a photo of yourself with something transparent, and hype it up. Express what you think is your interpretation of Clearly Fashionable!!

    2) Upload your photo into the facebook page under the Photos tab.

    3) Explain how you are Clearly Fashionable in under 150 words.

    4) Also remember, to qualify, you have to join as a fan!



    How creative you are will determine whether you win a brand new phone worth $938!!!


    There are SIX LG Crystals to be won!!

    Since I was informed I was going to do this advertorial some time ago, I've been thinking of different ideas on how to make this contest more inspiring for you all!!


    SO, I actually took 3 sets of photos with the transparent stuff I own.


    First look:






    Trying to look avant garde with all
    my transparent bangles and rings... Haha!!


    Second look:





    Bubble-gum pop with happy colours!!

    Transparent goes with any colour, right? So more colours please!

    I tied my hair with cellophane (or cling wrap) and also wrapped it round my tube in the form of a toga!

    Not sure if it looks too... fashionable... though. Might just look like a bit ding dong. Oh well at least I tried.

    I like the clear hair ribbons! They surprisingly hold my hair pretty well...

    [And btw I'm supposed to look like I can't pick between my two totes. Unfortunately I'm not a very good at emoting or acting.]



    Look three:



    Transparent = clean, so I got inspired to do a clinical sorta look.

    Thus the whiteness and the transparent tongs!!

    Love the colours in this one.

    And that's a cherry tomato there. Also loving the clear skull bangle!



    Inspired to snap your own photos too?


    Remember to submit your own Clearly Fashionable pictures and fight for the free LG Crystal!!






    Remember, Transparent is the new black!




    p/s: Which look do you think is the best?
