An Eclectic Dose
The long wait is over! Finally, I have the guts to create my own portfolio blog site, An Eclectic Dose, the simple way to share my work. Well, it's been almost than a year since I started working at this local magazine for campus girls.
What's best about my job, on each month there will always be some pages that I had to work something on. It was like, I could share the way I interpreted the monthly theme into the fashion page.
But, I'm still learning to create a better editorial tho', so feel free to give your opinion and suggestions.

VERSACE Fall 2011 RTW
I absolutely loved Donatella Versace's presentation of the Versace Fall 2011 Ready-To-Wear collection at Milan Fashion Week.
This collection was simple and strong. I love the single, boldly coloured detail in the form of flowers, or vines situated on the back of a black shift. And the midnight leather jacket, not forgetting the matching box-pleated skirt. The evening wear was spectacular. I think the final glittering silver column dress, with the trail of white marabou was absolute perfection.
Overall, I loved the entire collection. However, I especially enjoyed the coats. And I'm not really a coat person. But these were so seductive, with the hint of military influence. The double breasted black coat and the white coat-dress were my favourites.

Brett's 5 Tips to Look Slimmer
Fashion trends can change overnight, but your body can�t, and so it�s important to know your body if you want to dress slimmer. The best part is that you can be comfortable and stylish while camouflaging lumpy bits & showing off your assets. And here�s how.
1. Dress your size
Wearing baggy clothes will do absolutely nothing for your figure. So don�t try hide it under baggy t-shirts and pants. Another mistake is to wear clothing that is way too tight for you. It will only expose what you are trying to hide.
??
??
2. Create an Optical Illusion
Black and other dark colours are great it you are trying to look slimmer. Light colours will only emphasize an area. Also, if you�re short, you should wear pattern with vertical or diagonal lines as they draw the eye up and down, which will essentially make you look taller and slimmer.
??
??
3. Flaunt your best assets
Draw attention away from the areas you are self-conscious off by accentuating the areas you are proud off. Almost every woman�s d�colletage is gorgeous so why not show yours off by wearing off-the-shoulder tops and scoop/boat necklines.
??
??
4. Watch your length
The length of the sleeve or hem on your top can do a lot for how you look, & inevitably feel. If you have bigger arms, wear tops with sleeves. The more volume on the sleeve, the thinner the rest of your arm will seem. Also, by keeping the hem of a top long (between your stomach & hips), it will hide any bulges while elongating your torso.
??
??
5. Shapewear is your secret weapon
There�s absolutely nothing wrong with wearing shapewear that flattens your tummy, or lifts your butt. Celebrities wear them all the time, & there isn�t any shame in trying to look your best, especially when there are no visible panty lines. Some women believe that it�s only for older or overweight women, but the truth is that it will benefit anyone. So why not try it?

Another Chance
Call me super late, but seriously I don't have anything in mind besides a great eagerness to join this event, Asia Fashion Exchange 2011. I still remember last year, when I was joining this competition but unfortunately I lost. Stay in believe there will always be another chance to chase my dreams. And thank God, this is it. Godspeed!
Three main reasons why they should give me a chance to join this event :
1. Fashion is my real passion. As a fashion blogger who also work as a fashion reporter to a local magazine for campus girls, this kind of event always gets me excited. Sitting nicely and seeing a great collection from talented designers, looking at the stylish guests and taking more candid shots of them. Those things just always inspired me.
2. It's been always one of my dreams to travel abroad, not going for a vacation but to see a fashion event.
3. To dress-up and gather with people who have their own signature style from different country, nothing more delightful than that.
So, please give me a chance.
