I remembered clearly that I could see sorrow in the mother's eyes while she was rowing the boat while shouting  "Picture! Picture, USD1! USD1! It's not easy to make a living in and the mother's is the pillar of support to her children. Future? The mother only knows that she needs to fill up her children's tummy.

Dorothy Perkins Spring and Summer 2014 Collection x Burton Menswear London Spring and Summer 2014 Collection


Last month I had the privilege attending on my favourite fashion brand fashion i.e Dorothy Perkins Spring & Summer 2014 Collection Fashion Show in Paradigm Mall. If you have been wondering where usually I get my fashion fix, my answer would be Dorothy Perkins!

Thanuja Ananthan was the emcee of the night, she is also our Miss World Malaysia 2009/2010.

This Spring/Summer Dorothy Perkins embraces two key looks: pretty and feminine pastels and geometric graphics with a sports luxe feel.

Enjoy the pictures and leave a comment which one is your favourite ya! 

The pastel trend signals the return of femininity, combining sheer and lace textures with delicate organza details.

Red Floral Maxi Dress on the far right is absolutely gorgeous and if only I had the height I would totally get this! And yes I bought the coral lace top already :D In fact I had few lace top in different colours, and yes I am crazy about lace!

 The graphic trend combines minimalism and geometric prints for a relaxed easy to wear collection. Laser cut, asymmetric finishing and colour blocking are mixed with sheer panelling and midi length styles.

 The monochrome colour palette receives an injection of colour and the inclusion of delicate floral prints. 

My friend Juli got the printed dress on the left while I bought the the chiffon blue top!


 Jacquard and lace pencil skirts are worn with a slub fit logo tee and a biker jacket.  

Separates are key for Spring Summer – whether it’s a midi skirt teamed with a dip-hem top or wide leg palazzo pants with a translucent blouse. The midi length is a must have - whether in a sheer panel detail dress or printed skirts.

 Black midi dress on the left is the perfect little black dress that all girls should have in the wardrobe

For casual wear, washed out denim is mixed with the soft pastel palette. Simple tees are given an instant update with pretty embroidery and jacquard detailing. The summer sweat makes a playful return with fun logos and lace wording. Long-line blazers and fitted zip detail jackets are the perfect outerwear options and footwear classics like the flat brogue and simple court get a feminine make-over in sugar pastel colours and metallics.

I am into chiffon blouse recently and I'm liking the colour block chiffon top on the right. 

 Co-ordinated sets in fresh whites and soft tones are worn together to create a ladylike chic silhouette, worn with metallic flat sandals or strappy heels with a fold over soft clutch to finish the look.

Dorothy Perkins also suggested tailored high waisted shorts to pair with dip-hem top as this will make the ideal sports-luxe look along with the sheer sleeve bomber jacket and a structured neon mini cross body bag. 

I'm loving all the pastel colour under Dorothy Perkins Spring/Summer 2014 collection!

Oh besides Dorothy Perkins, Burton Menswear also showcased their Spring/Summer Collection 2014 as well. Just to shared with you Burton Menswear London is a new fashion brand in Malaysia also owned by DNP Clothing 


Burton Menswear message for this Spring and Summer 2014 is loud and clear; simple, stylish and confident is the way forward. Through a cohesive, wearable and masculine collection, Burton lives up to its promise of making it easy for every man to wear great clothing. Clear trend stories with vibrant summer colour palettes, cool street-wear, vintage refinement and perfectly cut tailoring provide the definitive summer wardrobe.

Our first story sees a Tropical Ranger take on the challenges of urban living. Bold floral prints and colour-flash is teamed with khaki, pebble and stone creating the sense of a summer garden city rich in colour. 

 Dip dye shorts, hooded fisherman jackets in yellow and bright green and washed denim are worn hand-in-hand with floral and Hawaiian fabrics. A back-pack comes with an all-over green, black and yellow leaf print, the ultimate accessory for the urban jungle.

City living is explored further with the Gothic Skater and California Warrior trend. Here a darker, moodier palette takes over with black, slate and white creating a sporty and decidedly laid back approach to summer dressing. Grey marl drawstring joggers and navy jersey make a simple but significant statement. Black wash denim shirts partner with monochrome baseball jersey tops and the Gothic Skater is ready to roll.

Rich, natural colour dominates the theme of our next trend – Botanical. Here we find some of the most striking and daring pieces from the collection including tailoring in teal and cobalt, both suits exquisitely slim-cut and contemporary. 

Multi-colour yarns represent the less tame side of nature with mixed shots of light blue chambray, apricot, maize and salmon in lightweight summer knitwear. Team with chinos in rose or light indigo and let Mother Nature work her magic.

Step forward the Super Mod. Sharp and cool suiting in slate, dark grey and Prince of Wales check offers a slick tailoring alternative for the confident style king. A more dress-down take on the trend comes in the form of a navy Harrington, ditsy print short sleeve shirts and the ultimate mod favourite –the khaki parka 

It’s time to smarten up our act, and for this we look towards the timeless and elegant pieces that are intrinsic to stylish menswear. Wardrobe staples such as the single breasted mac, pale blue and pink linen tailoring and a light chambray collarless shirt make up the Vintage Traditions range. Traditional navy, stone and mushroom appears alongside pastel hues of lilac, spearmint and pale pink to create perfect modern classics. 

At the event, a number of Malaysia’s top  celebrities were dressed in the latest Dorothy Perkins and Burton Menswear Spring & Summer 2014 outfits.

Pictures of all the female models

Men who were all decked out in Burton Menswear were Zizan Razak, Jack Lim, Jonathan Putra, and our very own Malaysian Idol, Daniel Lee.

Besides Thanuja Ananthan, celebrity such as Diana Danielle, Ng Kar Yoon and Tan Ley Teng were all daintily dressed in DP.

Sephora Malaysia opened in Nu Sentral Mall, KL

Good news to you all who do not live in PJ or in KL but somewhere near Bangsar, MV or Brickfields because Sephora has just opened their sixth store in Nu Sentral 2 weeks ago! And coming up Sephora Malausia would be opening in Queenbay Mall, Penang! 

Well this Nu Sentral is a new mall located strategically located next to KL Sentral where this is one of the largest transit hub in Malaysia as there are Putra Lrt, KTM Komuter, KTM Intercity, Monorail, Klia ERL and bus station. And now commuters who are taking public transport could easily get down at KL Sentral to grab their beauty needs from Sephora, Nu Sentral before continuing their journey. 

Do you know that Sephora is really generous on the day of their opening in Nu Sentral as 1st 50 person who enter the store would get RM100 cash voucher and the next 150 people would get RM50 cash voucher! Are you one of the lucky ones?

Thanks to Sephora Malaysia, I had the privilege to enter the store before they officially opened the door at 3pm on 29 March 2014. I took a lot of pictures and these are some of them :) 

And if you have not been to Sephora Nu Sentral yet, take this as a virtual tour! 

Sephora is a girl's heaven! I love how I could try out the products in Sephora without SAs following me around like in beauty counters in shopping mall.


There are counters for you to try out the products at the Makeup section. Love the concept because you can feel free to try out anything you see in Sephora Malaysia! 

Fragrance Section

I was told Shu Uemura has recently entered Sephora. Yay more choices to come :)

 Huge selection of Sephora own cosmetic brands! 

I was introduced to the latest Sephora Upside Down Mascara, the wand does looked unique. Have not had the opportunity to try. Anyone try this before , care to share? 

You will never run of eyeshadow shades to wear if you own all these Sephora eyeshadows!

 Bare Essentuals - Sephora exclusive

 Make Up For Ever - Sephora exclusive

 Soap & Glory - Sephora exclusive

 Urban Decay - Sephora exclusive 

All the Naked palette is available in Sephora! You know where to get them now!

Philosophy skincare - Sephora exclusive

Too Faced - Sephora exclusive

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Collection is also in Malaysia already - selling for RM149

 This has been in my wishlist ever since I saw them in one of the beauty blogs in overseas and when I checked them out in Sephora.  Too Faced Something About Berry is absolutely a beauty! 

I tried them on my cheek and the colour pay off is beautiful.. and I'm sold! I am definitely going to get this but just not now as I'm saving for my Boracay trip which is another 2 weeks to go.. So maybe would get this when I'm back! Wait for me baby! 

p/s: I remembered the price was RM85 when I took the pictures but last week when I was in Sephora Starhill the price was changed to RM99, I wondered why...?

Spotted celebrity Patricia Knudsenwho was the emcee for the opening was having a touch up using Sephora products. 

This Oscar Blandi Root Touch up & Highlighter Pen (RM96) caught my eyes . I read that this is basically works as an instant touch up for your hair root.  

Patricia K decided to try on my hair root, yes I know I shall be colouring my head soon but just too busy to visit the soon! 

Looking at the small tube & mini comb that it comes with, I think this is on-the-go hair touch up tube especially for people who are in the look out for their grey hair, so that they can immediately touch up the particular strand of hair on the spot. 

I was wearing Dorothy Perkins Blue & White Striped dress to the opening and when I took the picture I realised, my dress matched the Sephora's Black & White strip logo. Also found out the girl on the right who was photobombing my picture is wearing stripes shirt too! What a coincidence! . 

Guess what I bought? 

I picked up Estee Lauder Optimizer Intensive Boosting Lotion (Even Skintone + Hydration) RM190 to try since I needed to stock up my toner. And I think this is a new packaging not sure it has new formula.
Sephora Malaysia in Nu Sentral is located at Lot 26, 27 and 28 at Concourse Level. Opening hour is from 10am to 10pm.
