Ask The Reader: Whats your FAVORITE Piece Of Clothing?
You know that 80/20 rule? You wear or use 20% of something 80% of the time? In regards to your clothes, the same is true as well! Think about it, in your closet if you have 20 pieces in there, you have probably four pieces of clothing you always wear. Because you love it, it fits amazingly, and/or it works with almost everything… right?
Think about it!
We all have THOSE jeans, THIS purse, THAT dress, THIS jacket, or THOSE shoes that always get worn on a weekly basis… or it may not even be one item but a style in particular! For me, I have a tendency to wear more maxi dresses and midi skirts than anything else!
Me? Hrmmm… that is a tough one, but I HAVE to admit that my midi skirts get the bet of me. Fitted or full, with a crop or a relaxed top, this style of skirt gets rocked harder than any other pieces of clothing I have. The one piece that has been my best buy this year has come from Eloquii and it is my fitted black midi skirt. It has rocked my socks so hard that I bought it in a wine color!
I mean, I can wear it with so much!
So with this midi skirt, I can fancy a few tops and styles to take this skirt from casual, maxing out chillin mood to the ‘hey boo, hey’ mood.
But that is my ultimate favorite right now, NOW I want to hear from you!
What has been your favorite find? One that you find yourself gravitating to the most, even though you have a few options in your closet!?!
Let’s discuss and share!!!

Are you ready to see? I know I am hyped to share! Here you go! Just click the first pic to take a peek!
First Look at Target’s AVA + VIV Fall Look Book with Gabi, Nicolette & Chasity
What did the girls have to say about the collection after they saw how their input influenced things?
“Getting to see how our input lead to the actual collection was amazing. I told the designers at Target that I love soft pant joggers and printed sets, and I’m happy to see they designed more of those.†GabiFresh shares. Â
On prints and textures, Chasity of Garnerstyle exclaims, “The prints from AVA & VIV this fall are absolutely perfect… They can easily be worked into your current wardrobe as you transition to the next season.â€
On wearability and practicality, Nicolette Mason shares, “There are pieces in this collection that I absolutely love that you can wear from work to weekend and look great!â€
Who said our voices aren’t being heard! Launching later this month, AVA + VIV will launch both online and in-store with pieces for fall and from the looks of their styling and outfits, a trip to target will be in order for me!
Now, many of you voiced your frustration about the selection and assortment (and for some) availability of merchandise in-store! What do you thin k of the look book? Are you inspired and hyped about it?!
I love that Target is listening and taking the steps to really make it work here!

Five Plus Size Jumpsuits for Team Thick Thighs
Hey Luvs!!! Today’s post is dedicated to Team Thick Thighs and our love for the perfect plus size jumpsuit!!! As a lifetime member of this team, I know only a few brands are looking out for us. Too many times I’ve came across a really cute jumpsuit , got it the dressing room or home only to have my feelings completely hurt because these thighs aren’t loyal to the jumpsuit  game. So last week I decided to find five plus size jumpsuits for the girl with #thickthighs. Are you a part of this team? Do you feel me on this plight?
Finding the perfect jumpsuit is already a situation… the rise in the crotch area, the length, where the jumpsuit hits on the waist… girl! Right??!!
Check out my top five jumpsuits for the Team Thick Thighs!
Three out of my five favorites are from the UK plus size brand, Yours Clothing. Did you know they go up to a size 30? YUP!  This brand definitely understands how the thick thigh struggle is so real. My first jumpsuit from Yours Clothing is this beautiful dark floral pattern. I love the material of this jumpsuit. A fluid jersey material makes this jumpsuit perfect for any season. I can carry this one into the Fall 2015 Dark Floral trend with ease.
Get this Jumpsuit at YoursClothing.com
My next jumpsuit is on the sexy side. This simple yet dressy jumpsuit also  from Yours Clothing slimmed my thighs with the tapered ankle cut. Plus the neckline gave me divine decolletage and it had pockets! POCKETS! I am already in love… if you do not know,  me and pockets have a love thing going on!
Get this Jumpsuit at YoursClothing.comÂ
My last jumpsuit from Yours Clothing UK was a casual pick. Â A full jersey material suit with gold accents. Â Fabrics makes a huge difference in our garment pick. Â Not all fabric work for our thighs.
Get this Jumpsuit at YoursClothing.com
This is one thing  I always try to look  for when I’m jumpsuit shopping.  And the  fabric of the suit often makes the final decision in which suit I’m purchasing.
Of course, every girl with thick thighs need a wide leg jumpsuit. A wide leg jumpsuit often time drapes our thighs and give a full, fluid look of sophistication. This one from Simply Be is also lined for a smooth finish.
Get this jumpsuit at SimplyBe.com
The last brand I love  for thick thighs is my all-time favorite independent designer, Jibri. I the love how Jibri’s signature slough jumpsuit design always gives just the right amount of material to make the thick thighs happy.
Get this jumpsuit at JibriOnline.com
So there you have it, my five favorite plus size jumpsuits for Team Thick Thighs!
Which is your favorite? Tell me about your favorite thick thighs friendly brand.  We want to know!!

Guerisson 9-Complex Horse Oil Review
current fave face & body moisturiser
I’ve been hearing all about the Guerisson 9-Complex Horse Oil from friends and as part of my work, I was researching on why Horse Oil has become one of the popular must buy when you travel to Korea. Why? Here’s some idea:
- Long-lasting Moisture
- Wrinkle-reducing
- Whitening
- Skin protector
- Skin soother
The product is sa id to be anti-bacterial, multi-purpose moisturizer not only suitable for all skin types (face) but also for the body or hair. Formulated with the 9-Complex, which is made up of 9 herb & plant extracts â€" Lavender, Sage, Peppermint, Apple Mint, Rosemary, Cabbage Rose Petal, Lemon Balm Leaf, Bergamot and Chamomile.
I have been wondering whether it is using real horse oil and how does one make horse oil? When I find out, I’ll update my review. For now the horse oil in this product is imported from Germany.
Horse oil is said to be an old wives beauty secret to keeping their skin healthy and great back in those days. Stories dated back to China where horses aplenty, horse o il were used to moisturize the body during winter. It was natural and it had anti-bacterial properties.
Because the product is so popular, there are fakes to be aware of. Some girls get so paranoid about whether or not their products are real. It’s really quite simple if you just refer to the manufacturer’s site to find out how to spot an original product from Claire’s (the manufacturer).
the Guerisson 9-Complex from Althea.Kr is authentic
(I checked with Althea Kr & the manufacturer Claire's)
the hologram sticker design
(check for original cues)
the scent, which I love, smells like herbed lemon
(fakes smells like some detergent)
the printed label & expiry date at the bottom
From what I read, the original packaging is in dark orange and is grainy in feel compared to the fake (smooth and lighter in color). The product is sealed on both sides with transparent sticker. The hologram sticker with the word Claire and leafy designs on the jar is the easiest to spot if it’s an original. At the bottom of the jar, is a printed label in Korean with an expiry date.
The product comes with a small “card†certifying its authent icity an d a nice transparent plastic spatula with the word Guerisson on it. The cap has the word Guerisson 9-Complex embossed (3D). The fake one has a smooth surface.
The texture of the product is suppose to be like butter (see pic). The fake is like a lotion.
Anyway I bought my Guerisson 9-Complex from Althea Korea which guarantees it’s product to be authentic as they deal direct with brands in Korea, otherwise a refund would be given within 30-days of purchase. Many question the whether the products on Althea are original due to the affordability.
Unlike other K-Beauty online shops in Malaysia, Althea deals directly with popular Korean brands in Korea itself. The co sts are significantly reduced thanks to a virtual store. The downside of being a company in Korea is that purchases are shipped from Korea to Malaysia, which takes up to 15 working days to deliver as compared to just walking into a store and buying it off the shelves. For a season online shopper like me, I feel the shipping rates are cheap since it’s International. You don’t know the nightmare I gone through with that screw up China “ebay†called Taobao. I had to pay RM500 in shipping charges and I still don’t see my parcel (it’s been a year and they’re not taking responsibility over it). Starcom Singapore and Malaysia social-media agency Rouge Communication engaged me to “promote†Taobao and neither could give a flying cat about what happened or compensate me back what I lost / spent. I will seek legal action towards these three companies just to get justice.
[Back to my review I just get really upset thinking about my bad experience with Taobao]
Comparing Taobao and Althea, Althea has so far been one of the best online shopping sites to give good customer service besides value and “public service†by giving Malaysians a chance to purchase Korean products without needing to fly there. We all know Korean products are super cheap in Korea. It’s when it comes to Malaysia that somehow becomes double or triples the price.
texture is like butter minus the greasy oily uncomfortable feeling
love it as a natural, anti-bacterial moisturiser
I can’t give a complete review yet about the Guerisson 9-Complex, I still have 3 weeks to go and already I am finishing ¼ of the product. I use it for my body and face because it calms and soothes my sensitive skin besides moisturising it. Similar to Vaseline and Elizabeth Arden’s 8-Hour Cream (which is my travel favorite) but less greasier and oily. There is no residue from after using the Guerisson 9-Complex horse oil, it’s easy to apply, takes a lot as well if you’re using on your body. I have dry and sensitive skin so I feel this product needs a lot of application. A tiny b it doesn ’t do the trick.
Also unlike your usual face moisturiser, you won't feel the "wet" or "cooling" sensation when you use the horse oil and mind you, that don't mean your skin is not moisturised. My face is dry that I get peeling spells from time to time and this Guerisson 9-Complex within a few days of usage has save my skin from being flaky and peeling. Also my arms from itching due to seafood allergy (it gets read and itchy with bumps when I eat my fave seafood).
So far I love it as a moisturizer and skin protector (thanks to the Ceramide components, which makes your skin youthful). I don’t see any whitening effects after a week of usage. I’ll continue to use this prod uct unti l I hit the “pan†(bottom). For RM46 instead of RM73, I don’t have any complains.

Marks & Spencer 3 in 1 Body, Room & Linen Spray in Honeysuckle Review
capturing the fragrance of an English country garden
My love for fragrances don't stop just at perfumes. I am also in love with room sprays so a recent shopping trip down Marks & Spencer, 1 Utama got me excited when I stumble upon their new collection called the Honeysuckle under the Flora Collection for 3-in-1 Body, Room & Linen Spray. I also bought their popular deodorant and a bath & shower gel, all for roughly RM100.00. The scent matches my room potpourri of roasted chestnuts which reminds me of Christmas. I can't be lieve it's already August. What happened to my year? *slaps face*. While I am excited that my favourite month is nearing I am not excited about being a year older again *cries*.
This month marks the 1-year that I have split from my ex-fiance, how time flies. I am so happy that I didn't get married because now, I can spray my room with fragrances and wear perfume everyday. Something I couldn't do when I was living with my x because he hates fragrances. Now I laugh like a evil witch when I use fragrance.

M&S 3-in-1 Body, Room & Linen Spray (Honeysuckle)
So when I got the Honeysuckle body, room and linen spray, I went spray crazy in my room. Imagine me dancing like a ballerina spraying my curtains, carpets and bed and with a big twirl, bow down an d hands up in the air welcoming the scent of sweet, warm, honey caressing every inch of beautiful bedroom. I didn't know one could use the same spray as a body mist (one of the reasons I decided to buy this). When I feel warm and fuzzy, I mist this to feel loved and wrap myself around my blanket, reading a book to sleep.
easy to use, just spray & it's safe on the skin
When I finish this, I'll check out other collections but hopefully, this last me till Christmas because Christmas smells not only like roasted chestnuts but honey as well. Strange that I think Christmas smells that way.
