When I first knew about The Butterfly Project – a community for beauty and lifestyle bloggers, I thought it was a great initiative by founder Tammy Lim and I knew I wanted to be a part of this community. I’ve been following them for a while now and whenever they had a community gathering, I almost always didn’t have the chance to join them- until NOW, and boy was it one hell of a party!

The Coachella Unity Celebration was a community gathering where members could get to know each other and mingle with other bloggers alike. There were fantastic booths from sponsors, live entertainment, great food and drinks and even a painting party! When I heard it was going to be a Coachella themed party, I was so excited because that meant that I had the chance to dress up and have a little fun! (This mama needs her “me time” too okay :P)

Let me break down what went down during the celebration because each and everyone who was involved is worth mentioning!

I recently had the opportunity to attend a Butterfly Community event themed – Coachella Unity Gathering with the dress code being boho rock chic, inspired by the actual Coachella event held in the US. Being a plus size woman does have its challenges especially in looking for the right outfit that not only fits you in all the right places, but is according to your style.

I had a hiccup myself actually when the top I bought from Cotton On still had its bloody security tag on! (Luckily i still have the receipt so i would need to go back to the store and screw them over!) I only found this out the next day- the day i was supposed to wear it, which left me no choice but to find another top to match with my boho pants which i got from Nichii.

Few weeks ago, I was invited to the launch of Sevenfriday Space, Malaysia’s very first watch lounge concept store located in Robinsons Kuala Lumpur, Four Seasons Place.

Basically, Sevenfriday Space is an extension of the Swiss lifestyle brand Sevenfriday founded in 2012 by Daniel Niederer. For over seven years, the brand has been growing and making waves in the watchmaking industry through their “affordable luxury” timepieces that appeal to individuals who live to challenge the norm.

Who isn’t familar with the well known Japanese brand AEON? Available in numerous places across the country, it is one of the go-to places for almost everything! From clothes, to hardware, baby items, household products and so much more, it’s no wonder why it has become the favourites to many of us here in Malaysia.

As i live in Puchong, AEON Bandar Sunway was one of the most visited place for me during the weekends and it still is now. I recently visited them and was glad to know that they’ve undergone a whole lot of renovations for a new and improved shopping experience!

Of course two of the major floors that I usually visit is the Kids and the Ladies section.The layout has been enhanced alot, and it a has a much cleaner, brighter and organized feel to it.

Here are some of the changes that caught my eye at AEON Bandar Sunway:

It’s spring season and I’m loving the collections I see online! I recently came across this new site called Zaful and I can’t wait to get a few things for my Bali Trip! I’ll be heading to Bali with my girlfriends in April, and ordering from sites overseas usually take a while, hence why it’s best to order now!

Wondering about the few things i’m looking at? Check them out, they’re so pretty!

 Pineapple Strappy Skirted Tankini

I just got to have this! Pineapple prints for spring? Why not right?

Or maybe something like this and match it with a pair of short?

Ruffle Leaf Print One Piece Swimsuit

High Waisted Casual Plus Size Shorts

Or what about this cute skort romper??

Floral Plus Size Skort Romper

I haven’t figured out what exactly I want, plus I’m kinda on a budget, so if you have any suggestions for me please do let me know in the comment section below!

The best local plus size store for chic and formal dresses in Malaysia (so far).

Finding for plus size dresses in Malaysia is NOT an easy task. Most curvy girls I know end up making their own tailor-made dresses because:

• not many places cater to plus size women
• The ones that do are limited in design or size
• some ready made ones are just too expensive

Among all the places that I’ve looked at, I found that Plusify has some really cute choices and they cater up to size 5 XL! They have over 200 styles of clothes to choose from and their online stock is also increasing by the week. Continue reading

Truth to be told, i have never heard of Duchess & Co prior to this. The name sounds grand, their invitation card was superb and of course the fact that they mentioned that this was going to be their biggest fashion show to date, definitely got me intrigued in the brand.

First of all, a little introduction to Duchess & Co.

Duchess & Co happens to be a Malaysian label! Founded in 2013 by three dynamic ladies – Wendy Tai, Phang Ju Nn and Michelle Chong, the label known for its regal designs with a contemporary twist. It is also in their brand’s DNA that  most of their pieces can be worn  two-ways or more. Each Duchess & Co piece is thoughtfully designed in-house, and is catered to the confident and sophisticated women who want to stand out from the crowd. Both ready-to-wear and standalone signatures are available by the brand. Continue reading

Gosh it seems like it was not so long ago that we celebrated raya, and now all of a sudden, the hype is back up, puasa is a few days away and baju raya promotions are everywhere!

Last year i attended the FashionValet fashion show in Black Box Publika, and this year it was back at the same venue for 4 consecutive days showcasing a wide array of Gaya Koleksi Raya from a number of well-known local and Southeast Asian brands such as Afiq M, Alia B, Fizi Woo, Khoon Hooi, Mimpikita, NH by Nurita Harith, S. Baharim, aere and many more.

I decided to attend the 4pm slot on their last day because; No. 1– Poplook who caters for plus size women is showcasing their collection in that slot; No. 2– I’m a fan of Melinda Looi’s quirky and unique designs and No.3– Well i have a day job and Sunday is the best day to attend things for my blog.. Haha!

So, how did the fashion show go?
