Taking pictures on the go especially with the phone is not as easy. Angle problem and stuff. Not to mention the weather is just scorching hot. But managed to take a few.

I have a sudden obsession with flats. I love the Vincci Accessories collection.

They also have very affordable sunnies. Discounts make them more interesting!

Back On Track

Do you know Louise Roe? An editor-at-large and fashion columnist who is also well-known as the host of MTV's Plain Jane. Not to mention gorgeousss! She's come up with a new clothing line. Watching her on stylehaul kind of inspired me to get my groove back on. (if I do have one) Her collection is inspired by the 70s look. Watch this.

This is one of those dresses that I think I didn't do justice for as I only wore it a couple of times.

It's unique on its own.

Words..

2012-03-11T15:24:00.001+08:00

Hey everyone! Wow... It's been a while, isn't it? Really sorry for my absence. Truthfully speaking, I think I went through some kind of adjustment. It's more personal than I thought. I had no idea it would affect me the way it had. Let's just say I was coping with the fact that I'm being distant away from my other half. The way I was coping it, was to shut myself down from the less significant thing in my life. I mean I still blog but more on my wedding preparations blog just because they are my priority this year and I may have drastically toned down on my passion for fashion and styles.

I'm not sure if you understand. Haha. But I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has visited this site and sent me emails. I really appreciate that you can still see this site as a helpful tool for marketing. But alas, I have my priorities.

I do hope I can still update more. Till then, have a great weekend!

My Love For Whitney Houston

2012-02-12T19:48:00.002+08:00

I grew up listening to her songs. I trained my voice by singing her songs because I loved the challenge in her voice. For goodness sake, her songs are the songs of my life. Whenever I sang her songs over and over again (yes, I have her karaoke vcd), I always thought to myself, she is incomparable... and just last night I sang "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" and "I Believe In You and Me" :(.

I hope to do a medley of her songs. Not because I'm trying to show off. But I love her. Really....deep down from the bottom of my heart. I love you Whitney.... You will always be my legend...

I love all of her songs and this one song is called "Miracle". Because Whitney Houston is a miracle.

Rest in peace... You have found your way home...

Nowadays, I'm all about wedding stuff. This blog might be left behind a little...or more... If you don't see me updating here, it's probably because I'm at my wedding blog.

If you feel like reading my rants and rambling about getting hitched, feel free to head on to

The Bride-To-Be Quest.

Ok.. I'll try not to rant too much in there. Haha. Nahh... I'm just basically documenting my search and preparations for the wedding.

When Reality Hits

*post not related to blog theme*

Truth is, I'm not sure if I can update as often anymore. As much as I don't wanna say this year will be a challenging year for me, I cannot help but think it will be. Just like everyone else who has gone through planning a wedding, now it's my turn to get all stressed up and worried. Well, not that I am now. We still have many months to go but I try not to be complacent as I'm aware lots of couples will make early reservations to avoid disappointment. Boy...how I want to make the reservations as early as possible. -_- But.... The fiance has decided to take on an overseas job offer. At first, I also thought "WTH? Of all the year....!" But when he explained to me the purpose, I just wanna be the fiancee who supports him. Of course I may not like it, but some things I just have to believe in.

So yeah...we will be planning this wedding long-distance. That's the challenging part. For now, we have the church and reception venues in mind. But we still haven't done any reservations as we're still expecting the confirmed date. Of course we do have the proposed date but it's still up to the priest to confirm it. We will only be able to attend the pre-wedding course in June. Dear God... please help us...

Busy bee me..

2012-01-13T22:55:00.000+08:00

Once again, I'm back in the busy bee phase. It's crazy. My line of work hasn't got anything to do with style or fashion. So I'm currently in the uninspired state due to too much work task to be done. This is as far as I can do in terms of updating..

First day style inspirations..

2012-01-01T16:20:00.000+08:00

Love the skirt. Also the whole look...and I want that bag in camel!

Now this look is something I wanna try.

This is so me. Just have to find the right shorts.

I so want to look for a pair of flattering long pants.

How I Spent My Christmas..

2011-12-27T00:30:00.000+08:00

It was a nice and simple Christmas celebration these past couple of days. Being Catholics, it's only natural for my family and I to attend Mass at church for both Christmas Eve and Christmas day.

We arrived one hour before the Mass began on Christmas Eve but the church was already packed. We had to sit outside and it's only by the grace of God that it did not rain. One of the miracles of Christmas.

After the Mass ended, a charity bazaar was held at the nearby parish hall. That's why you see me carrying a few plastic bags in this picture. I bought the blue maxi dress for my engagement day but in the end, decided not to wear it cos the colour wasn't the type of blue that I wanted. Guess it was quite a hurried purchase. So I just wore it that night and paired it with a white short-sleeves cardigan. Not exactly an evening colour but heck, I figured when am I gonna wear it.

So this is what I wore on Christmas day. Although I had the inspirations, deep in my mind I knew it would turn out different than the inspirations. Cos I was aiming for a dress with the right fit first and the cut, second.

After Mass, we headed on to our cousins' places for Christmas open house.

My family and I did the gift exchange in the evening after a simple Christmas dinner. It's always fun to see what everybody got.

But of course, we'll never forget the true meaning of Christmas.. :)

Hope you guys had a blessed and wonderful Christmas!

Evening Dresses

2011-12-23T18:54:00.000+08:00

Now that I’m engaged, it’s time to gather some inspirations for the quintessential evening dresses from Goddiva. If you ask me, yes! Of course I’m excited. I can’t believe I’ve passed the first stage towards building our lives together. Although the big W is still quite many months away, I think it’s just a good time for me to start doing my search.

Personally, I’m always fascinated by Grecian inspired dress. I think with the right hair, makeup and accessories, anyone can look divine in it.

I love this Grecian Maxi Dress in beige. You can always put on a pair of dangling earrings for an added elegance.

This mint one-shoulder dress has such refreshing colour for a daytime wedding reception. A pair of dangling earrings and beautiful bracelets can make an otherwise simple dress, classy.

Or I can always go for the ever classic strapless evening dress similar to the one worn at the Royal Wedding.

I mean let’s face it. Women are spoilt with choices of evening dresses. We just have to look for one that has the right fit, colour, embellishment and most importantly within our budget.

I can’t wait to have mine.

Christmas tree and gifts

2011-12-21T19:48:00.001+08:00

Just our humble mini Christmas tree. Those are some Christmas presents that I've prepared. There are a couple more but they're just quite big to be wrapped. My siblings haven't bought theirs. Hehe. I know it's not always easy to prepare so many gifts considering how much we are going to spend. But the important thing is to create a budget especially for the gifts and stick to it. You will feel more than happy to purchase them.

I'm excited to do this gift exchange. :)

Spending Time

2011-12-20T01:34:00.000+08:00

Spent these two days with my fiance. We only get to meet once in a while cos he's just so busy working...and I mean day and night. So it's nice to just go out and make time for each other. I did some Christmas gifts shopping too! Mission accomplished.

Amazingly enough, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and forgot to put the bangle back on. So I went out bangle-less.

Lace crop top --> thepoplook.com

Black dress -->Local Boutique

Leggings --> Mall

Necklace --> forever21

Bangle --> Park Avenue Accessories

Handbag --> anoldflame.net

Shoes --> Vincci

So, we did a bunch of boring stuff such as..

..taking picture near the man-made Christmas tree.

My happy face nomming away Big Apple donut. Sigh...such a guilty pleasure. But hey.. I rarely eat 'em.

Messy.. Haha!

Christmas carollers at 1Borneo Hypermall. Beautiful decorations.

With a different lighting.

Mermaids at a ship too.
We also went to the cinema. They really censored stuff in Twilight: The Breaking Dawn. Hehe. Not that I'm disappointed or anything. Got to meet up with friends too.

The second day was just about changing the car tyres and maintenance. Didn't bother to take OOTD.
Gosh! I miss him already...

Christmas Dress Inspirations..

2011-12-13T15:14:00.001+08:00

I haven't bought a new Christmas dress yet. A task to do this weekend. Here are some inspirations..

Accessories can spice up this dress.

Hope to find a dress with sleeves and not too short. Because the only time I'll be wearing it is to Christmas Mass. Needing something not revealing.

Guilty As Charged and some other stories..

2011-12-12T01:07:00.009+08:00

Just like the title says.. I'm feeling guilty to my subscribers. Why? Because I'm reverting to my old domain. *Hides in the closet*
I know.. I know... Why do I do this?? All I can say is, I did some bad decision-making. As a result of this bad decision-making (yes, I'm emphasizing this), I saw my traffic fell apart and seriously... I thought I could deal with it. No, I just couldn't. I've maintained this site for quite a few years now. So it will take quite a while (and I mean years) to build it up once again. It's heartbreaking. I know it's just a blog site but I did lose some sleep thinking about it.

Why did I wanna change it at the first place? I think I'll keep the reason to myself. Some things better not to be told. Anyways, I'm reverting to http://fabfashionsense.com. My old domain that is. I've redirected the new domain which is stylefashionsense.com. to the old domain http://fabfashionsense.com. I did this for those who don't wanna go through the hassle of changing it again. So far, I've succeeded in redirecting stylefashionsense.com without the "www." It's also supposed to redirect www.stylefashionsense.com, with the "www". But somehow, it could not. I really don't know why. Maybe it's taking time or I don't know.. So, I'm really sorry about this domain name changes..

Ok, I wanna talk about a different story now. Let's just move on ya. Yesterday, my sister held this photoshoot session with my cousins. It's for my sister's own lil' project. She asked me to do their makeup. Let's just say, I became the reluctant makeup artist.... because I dreadddd doing makeup on other people. Truth is, other than playing makeup with my sis, I never did makeup to anyone other than myself! So, it was my first time yesterday. Here's me in action.

I think I bent too much till my back hurts. My sis wanted a natural look. But I didn't go all out for it cos we didn't have enough makeup stuff we can use for other people. Here's the final look.

I did the winged eyeliner on her eyes. But I skipped on concealer and mascara cos my sis and I don't have them for other people's use.

Cousins.

Cheers!

P/S : I'm keeping the title though. Style and Fashion Sense.

It's up..

2011-12-09T12:45:00.001+08:00

We've put up the Christmas tree.

Not that we ignore the true meaning of Christmas but rather to appreciate and commemorate the good news it brings to the world.

In this day and age, I hope to be more diligent in prayers and let God be the center of my life.
