Being a plus size is not a problem anymore, thanks to Dorothy Perkins wearing those pretty dress is not a dream but reality!

Trying hard to pose like model ...success or not?

I love wearing dresses and many have asked where I always get my dress right ? 

Do you know...being a plus size is so so so difficult, because we can only admire from far those beautiful dresses. I used to always asked myself WHY is there no pretty & fitting plus size clothes for us? I used to think plus size  fat people only can wear loose & baggy clothing or squeeze into those clothing and feeling not comfortable at all... because there is no fitting clothes for plus size! And I used to hate to dress up.. because always feeling ugly, down and not confident at all!

I used to hate taking pictures of full length picture because those clothes that I wear are so ugly but now I want to show to people what I wear because those dresses that I wore now.. is so beautiful! I came across Dorothy Perkins many years ago and since then I never look back!

All that above is old stories after I found my saviour!

Dorothy Perkins has been around for over 90 years and is a firm favourite on the British high-street if you don't know! They offer sizes from 6 - 22 and thanks to Dorothy Perkins... finding the right size clothing is never been a problem for me anymore!

So it is no secret that Dorothy Perkins is my favourite fashion brand and to be honest I got to be honest more than 90% of my clothes in my wardrobe are from them! And I am looking forward to dress up myself every single day!

Usually I shop in their store and every week I will visit the store to see what is new, but ever since Dorothy Perkins offers online shopping for Malaysian (http://my.dorothyperkins.com) since last year November, serious shopping has never been so easy! 

Ah this is love at first sight, seriously! Well I lost count how many lace dresses I have at home, never mind... lace dresses is so addictive! I never own a lime colour dress, so this would be my first one! 

Found this black petal sleeve dress at 50% off! Must grab because one can never go wrong with LBD !

Hehe my total purchase RM259 and yeh I got a free standard delivery for spending RM249 (or else delivery fee of RM50 is quite dear!)

It took around 2 weeks for my order to arrived via registered post. It was carefully packed & I received the clothes in good condition :) Thumbs up! 

Even the dresses come with the hanger & plastic!

My favourite brand!

The Little Black Dress fit me perfectly! Material is 97% cotton, so very comfy!

From a plain black dress, I match it with red belt & carry a red clutch... and now I'm ready to go for a party! 

Oh don't forget to match it with your favourite red lipstick. Here I'm wearing Maybelline Colour Sensational in Red Porcelain lipstick!                   

Here comes the Lime Lace Dress! Was really happy the quality & look came exactly like how it looked in the website! Ah Dorothy Perkins never fails me! 

I love how the black belt sash defines my waistline and gives illusion the waist looked smaller than it is.. looked like got S shape . Also ah.. notice how my big arm is being covered by slightly by the mini sleeve :D 

The zipper at the back! 

Unexpectedly lime color actually can match my skin tone color quite well! Notice the lace leaf motif ... <3

The thing about this dress is that not only it looked elegant for a night out but it is so easy to wear, i.e no need to match it with additional accessories like belt, necklace etc....well just ready to go with my Lewre green heel... 

Ah which dress do you think look better on me? 

Honestly being a plus size not a problem anymore ever since I discovered Dorothy Perkins years ago! And  now dressing up is one of my hobbies one and always I m looking forward to shop for a new dress!

While hunting for more new dresses I saw the new Kardashian Kollection and this Ombre mini dress caught my attention!

When I think of Brown color....

When I think of BROWN COLOR...

I can't help to wonder who can resist this brownish thing called CHOCOLATE ? 

So Yummy yet so SINFUL!

Whether it is hot or rainy days, a cup of hot chocolate or ice cream definitely keep our tummy WARM & COMFORTABLE!  

Got to be honest, while it is nice to have either red, blonde and pink hair... all this color go out of trend quite fast and it is not easy to match with the clothing you wear! Brown hair is really a TIMELESS & ELEGANT color, never go out of season for sure and complement very well with our Asian skin tone! 

With that in mind, Samsung launched Note II in Amber Brown, such a pretty calm & elegant color to carry...how thoughtful!

And do you know, having a personality color brown means you are honest, down-to-earth and wholesome, salt of the earth people with both feet planted firmly on the ground. Unlike other bright color they hunger for attention, brown is a calm color!

All of us will agree that while white color looked nice but once it is dirty it looks disgusting! But for brown color, it hides all the imperfections and appear perfect in our eyes!

Watch this video, the story is so sweet!

Oh btw, this Samsung Note 2 in Amber Brown is a limited edition and hurry up and check out it at your nearest Samsung outlet before it is gone! It is still selling at RM2299!

Review : Kerastase Cristalliste range & Centro Prive Salon KLCC

 Finally I could sit down and write about this Kerastase Cristalliste Pink Party organised by the awesome people in Centro Hair Salon. I have been using this Kerastase Cristaliste range for some time and it is time for a complete review!

Btw, if you have been reading my blog for quite some time, remember my new hair colour I did earlier this year? It was Kevin,  the founder and Creative Director of Centro Hair Salon who did an amazing job in colouring my hair early this year! (Read more here)

So after my 1st pleasant experience, the kind people in Centro wanted to organised a pink party me to experience the Kerastase Cristalliste range. And I have invited my friends Shannon and Pauline to join me!

 It was held in CENTRO Prive in KLCC 4th floor and this is my first time here. I noticed the different between Centro Hair Salon & Centro Prive is that the latter only use Kerastase products for all its services. Hence Centro Prive is a exclusive & luxurious hideaway!

To be exact, Centro Prive located just next to Isetan in Level 4 KLCC. (Besides Clarins Institute)
 

The entrance of CENTRO Prive, love the Artemide Skydro ceiling lights that cast a silvery glow over the reception area.

 Love the detailing that they did at the entrance. I think also got fengsui meaning !

CENTRO Prive is a Kerastase concept salon where only Kerastase products would be used here, expect nothing but only luxury & personalised treatment using Kerastase products!

CENTRO Prive offers customers to be pampered in seclusion with its showcase Kerastase Room, where a range of hair spa treatments await one’s tired tresses. The Kerastase Hot Stone Massage ritual is also available, designed to soothe and seduce. Another star treatment is Kerastase Chronologiste, a hair care treatment inspired by the qualities of caviar.

The seating in salon

One special feature of CENTRO Prive in this KLCC outlet is that there are 2 VIP rooms. One consists of of two sweater and another for three seater. This is definitely a perfect place for a girly pampering sessions with a few girlfriends...  luxurious and exclusive to for a girly day out :) 

Since I came with 2 girl friends, we were lead to VIP room with 3 seaters decorated with pink set up in conjunction with the colour of the Kerastase Cristalliste range.

Oh there is pink cupcakes & macarons to accompany the pampering session! Feeling that we are in the princess pamering session already! 

The perfect pampering session.

 The head massage is so so so GOOD!!!

Ah I was so excited when I saw my pink bubble hair and I thought why so awesome one the shampoo.. until the stylist told me because my hair is newly dyed (at that time) that's why the colour got wash off! Aiks... got me excited by a little while only! 

Nevertheless the head massage was so good! I want to go back for more!

One thing I like about Centro Prive was that, the VIP room is adjoined to the fully automated basin room.

And this is what I called VIP... need not queue to take turn to go to the basin & having a private washing space! 

 After washing, this is how my hair look after blow drying using the full range of Kerastase Cristalliste. My hair looked glowing, silky smooth and light! Oh did I mentioned the Crtistalliste range leaves my hair sweet candy scent, oh so yummylicious!

My stylist decided to give a little magic to style my hair! Suddenly feel so girlish and korean style! Totally love it.. didn't know my short hair can do this hairstyle! Love the volume at the side as it could cover my fat cheek and hence making my face looked smaller :D

I absolutely love my hair colour! I want to re-colour my hair again! 

The pricelist at the salon is pretty reasonable for Kerastase concept salon which is located in KLCC... a place which is luxurious and quiet to enjoy pampering time! 

Before I share my review on the Kerastase Cristalliste, I got a little story to tell!

 Ocassionally I miss my curly long hair! >.<

I used to have very long hair for more than 10 years and absolutely love it when it was long & pretty and I could do any styling on my hair! When hair reach my waist, I started to have hair fall problem... hair loss shine, hair looked lifeless bcos it looked heavy even after shampoo! So I cut shorter and went through few chemical treatments to enchance the hair look! By then I had more problems! Name it; more hair loss problem, hair loss shine & split ends - HORROR!

End up, I had no choice but to cut my hair short! Although I am liking my short hair at this moment, ocassionally I do miss my long hair... where I can *flip* my hair whenever I want! 

 It is every girl dream to have luminous, healthy, weightless and ultimately beautiful hair

 

BUT do you know that?: - 

• 65% of young women have long hair* 

• 40% tend to have oily hair* 

• 30% have split ends* 

This coupled with a tendency towards heavy use of heat appliances can cause hair to become dull, damaged and lifeless. The Kerastase Cristalliste range opens the door to a new breed of discerning young beauty-hungry women and offers them a dedicated range to meet their specific hair needs - without being over prescriptive and without weighing it down.

 Kerastase Cristlliste Bain Cristal Luminous Perfecting Shampoo - RM78.00 (250ml)

This ultra light shampoo comes in 2 types, for fine & thick hair. The one I am having here is for fine hair. The formula enriched with a plant origin extract helps smoothe the hair, leaving it lustrous and supple, caring for the hair without weighting it down.

Direction to use: Apply to wet hair, massage & rise.

My review on Kerastase Cristlliste Bain Cristal Luminous Perfecting Shampoo

It has really delicious sweet candy scent which is really addictive! This shampoo does the cleaning job properly and I feel my hair a little bit more moist & light after washing! I am happy to know that this product is free from silicon, paraben & colorant!

Kerastase Lait Cristal Luminous Perfecting Conditioner - RM90 (200ml)

This is ideal for dry lengths and ends and suitable for both thick and fine hair. It will repair the hair fibre’s lipid structure -Softens, loosens and lightens the fibre to improve the hair’s natural luminosity.

My review on Kerastase Lait Cristal Luminous Perfecting Conditioner

The conditioner texture is light and after hair wash I feel my hair is softer & lighter. It was an acceptable conditioner to use, it is not super moisturizing but it works great as a daily conditioner for people with long hair that wanted a condition their hair without weigh it down. And of course it leaves the hair smelling so nice with its candy sweet scent!

Kerastase Cristalliste Lumiere Liquide Luminous Perfecting Essence - RM 82 (125ml) 

This is the higlight of the range, the hair oil promises glowing, healthy and easy-to-wear hair that guarantees uncompromising Kerastase quality. Apply 1-2 pumps on dry or towel dried hair. Remember do not rinse your hair as this is a leave on hair treatment.

My review of Kerastase Cristalliste Lumiere Liquide Luminous Perfecting Essence

My first impression of this hair oil is that the texture is so light, almost like water! The scent is stronger than the shampoo & conditioner & last through out 8 hours. After applying the oil, my hair texture feel a little bit smoother, looked less frizzy and looked shinner! It is really nice because you can't feel the oilyness on your hair because it absorbed immediately after I applied it. Hence it does not weight down my hair at all!

Since my hair is short I only can use 1/2 or 1 pump (a bottle can lasts for very long!) and I checked that even after a long day under the sun my hair did not feel greasy at all but still smelling nice! Highly recommending this to people who has long hair especially (or even short hair ) to try this!

Kerastase Cristalliste is available for sale at all Centro Hair Salon & all other Kerastase salons.

1) CENTRO Hair Salon, The Gardens Mall - 03-2287 7330
2) CENTRO Hair Salon, Suria KLCC - 03-2161 6330
