“Bad hair day? More like bad hair life.” My addiction to hair colouring since my teens has led to some pretty nasty scalp and hair problems. Despite these unhealthy ramifications, I’m still not ready to give up the hair chameleon lifestyle. Well, who says you have to? I was recently introduced to a full range of chemical-free products that are not only gentle on my sensitive scalp but also promise to revive the health of my crowning glory. But do you face the problem of hair colour fading too quickly? Do you know that sulfate is the main culprit – it is responsible for stripping off the hair dye pigmentation, causing your newly coloured hair to lose its vibrancy. Hence, always look out for sulfate-free shampoos as they help to prolong your hair colour and keep it vibrant as the way you want it to shine!

Fellow #OOTD addicts, doesn’t everyday feel like a fashion show? If you share the same sentiments, you probably also agree that Orchard Road has always felt like a runway for us to strut our stuff on. 😛 Well, now more so than ever as Orchard Road was transformed into a real-life high fashion catwalk last weekend for the annual Fashion Steps Out Runway Show. Do you know it is also one of Singapore’s largest and longest outdoor fashion shows? Yup. It’s pretty much like a fashion parade.Every year, the fashion event celebrates the Spring/Summer fashion season with local and international brands and this year’s line up included FOX Kids & Baby, Raffles Privato, SEAN & SHEILA, Thomas Wee, UNIQLO LifeWear, PHANTACi (Psst! Jay Chou’s clothing line) and many more. I must say, last weekend’s runway show was executed in the most spectacular way starting with an extravagant pre-show reception catered by PAUL, then a 550m long runway graced by more than 180 models and performers during the fashion show itself. Talk about a grand affair! Why I’m not surprised is because this year’s Fashion Steps Out event was managed by renowned fashion aficionado, Daniel Boey who graciously lent his expertise as a show producer for the curtain raiser and main event. With his vast experience in the fashion industry, you bet he had loads to bring to the table. Scroll down to see for yourself!

“Life is truly reflection of what we allow ourselves to see and be.” And since I’m controlling my own fashion destiny, this season, I’m opting for comfort, simplicity and style with aplomb. These are also hallmarks of our very own homegrown fashion label, Donya Vogue whose mantra is to let the world know that Singapore does have talented designers too. If that’s not enough… Their other goal? To make Singapore the fashion capital of Asia. Kudos to that! It’s getting a little chilly in sunny Singapore recently, so I’ve also taken a liking to long sleeved apparels. And who says lengthy sleeves have to be boring? Donya Vogue surprises us with an interesting approach to creating the most unique yet flattering sleeves! Their Asymmetrical Hem Dress sports these cute layered sleeves that coincide right at the elbow, adding an extra edge to the already gorgeous piece. Cinch it with a scarf and don a pair of bright high heels, I was ready to conquer the world! Now let’s get up close!

I’ve never seen so many birthday wishes on my Facebook and Instagram pages as well as Whatsapp chats. Thank you all for remembering me. 🙂 If I have to name one achievement that I’m the most proud of this past year, it’ll definitely have to be my amazing relationship with my family and all the wonderful friendships I’ve forged with the most incredible friends in the world!

“All I need are palm trees and a little bit of paradise.” There will be times when you feel a little worn down or even uninspired by work. That’s normal but I’m curious, what do you do when that happens? Well, for me, I drive to the beach to get recharged. Haha! Besides watching undulating waves crash against the shorelines while sipping delicious virgin Piña Coladas (which is very therapeutic by the way), I also decided to unleash the little fashion monster in me by ditching the beach shorts for culottes instead! Culottes have been extremely à la mode for the past few seasons and I don’t see the trend dying anytime soon. They are so versatile, you can pretty much pair them with anything and they’ll look great for any occasion or location. The best part is – they are super comfortable too. These loose cropped trousers are here to stay I tell you. Now scroll down to join me on my little beach fashion escapade! THE FASH SQUAD Top:  Agneselle Culottes:  Fabfad (To be launched this Wednesday at 8.30pm) Watch: Bulgari Bag:  Primark Shoes:  Ted Baker Photography by Bobby Stryker 📍 Location: Coastes  Told ya culottes are a chic alternative to beach shorts. Haha! I hope you had fun reading this post. Have a wonderful and inspiring week, belles! Your friend, Juliana #Fabfad #fashion #SponsoredPost #TheBodyShop

Amongst Disney’s classic collection of stories, I’ll have to say that The Jungle Book has one of the most fascinating and memorable stories, narrating the story of a young boy brought up by wolves, hunted by a fearsome tiger, protected by his feline mentor then meeting his new happy-but-forever-hungry bear friend! Following Mowgli on his wild and crazy adventures was quite a thrill ride. This enthralling live-action reimagining of The Jungle Book certainly brought back many fond memories from my childhood. So today, I decided to pay homage to this classic film that Walt Disney himself personally worked on before his death in 1966 by creating my very own Urban Jungle Lookbook! Haha! Don’t worry, I’m not going hog wild with this one. There’ll be no leopard prints or snake-skin bags. Instead, I’m opting for a more subdued jungle-inspired look that is strung together by minimalist accessories such as Indian-inspired chandelier earrings, a snake bracelet and a lush green crossbody carrier. The jungle awaits you! Scroll down to take a walk on the wild side! THE FASH SQUAD Top: Ninth Store Pants: The Design Closets Bracelet: Bulgari Bag: Furla Shoes: Pedro Nails: Nail Indulgence De Beau  (Amanda) Hair: Shunji Matsuo  (William) Photography by Bobby Stryker I hope you had fun exploring the lush and wild with me.

La vie est belle Life is beautiful and fashion also becomes more playful especially when we transit into Spring Summer! For the past couple of years, somehow I always ended up in Paris during this time, either for a holiday, photo shoot or stopover while visiting the folks in nearby Britain. The one thing that stood out about the French is not only their ability to perfect the art of savoir faire but also their super power to look stylish all the time, even while shopping for brie! Despite the warmer season, it can still get pretty chilly in the mornings and evenings in Paris. So no matter how little they wear, the french fashionistas always make sure they complete the look with a tres chic coat. I’ve read a few fashion portals and it seems like this season’s trend centres around colors, florals, boho and motifs. Fortunately, those are already the key themes of my wardrobe staples but I really wanna switch things around this time. Therefore, for this ensemble, I’m going for a more subtle combination of white shirt and ripped jeans, then cosying it up with a bright garden themed spring coat to elevate the look. Ouais! However, the look still hovers along the cooler and softer side of the color spectrum. It’s summer after all, so I’m also looking at the warmer and brighter sides of the pantone swatch book. Think orange shoes and a red crossover bag! Haha! The look is complete! Scroll down to check out my Parisian inspired Spring-Summer look! THE FASH SQUAD Top: Ninth Store Jeans: Top Shop Coat: Ted Baker Earrings, bag and shades: Chanel Shoes: Kate Space Photography by Bobby Stryker Are you looking forward to creating your very own Parisian style story? I might have a clue. Welcome to the creme de la creme of this outfit post! Haha! For many years, French fashion boutiques have been limited to the peripherals of the french borders. Well, great news belles because all that is about to change. 🙂 Enter Rue Madame, the fashion boutique that promises to give you a truly magnifique Parisian style shopping experience. I’ve seen the online store and realize the boutique curates its style offerings very carefully and only brings in brands that epitomize the timeless french style. Some of its notable brands include See by Chloe, Christophe Sauvat, Seour and Paul and Joe Sister. So if you’re looking to give your wardrobe a touch of La Belle France,  Rue Madame  could be your one stop shop to the best of french fashion. 😛 Finally, merci beaucoup for reading this post! I hope you had as much as as I did. What are you wearing on your Spring Summer travels? Share with me by commenting below! Meanwhile, have a terrific day and au revoir!

Good Day Sunshine! 🌞 These days, a sunny day is as rare as hen’s teeth so yesterday’s clear blue sky was a total miracle. I decided to not waste such a perfect day playing couch potato and instead, head out for some much needed sunbathing. Haha! I visited Gardens By The Bay for Pandora’s Summer 2016 Collection launch recently and was totally in awe of its beautiful landscapes and garden-esque architecture. Sheesh.. Why hadn’t I visited earlier?  So on this very precious sunshiny day, I decided to pay our little city garden another visit. For the outfit, I went for a 90s boho look assembled by comfy jeggings, relaxed top and a choker, that is actually a bracelet. Well, you have to creative when you realize you threw all your 90s accessories away, thinking THEY’LL NEVER COME BACK. *flashing my sheepish grin* I also visited Marina Bay Sands (MBS) later for a mini shopping spree. For this, I ditched my sky high heels for comfy sneakers from the shoe elves at Kurt Geiger! Since I was going for a hearty meal after my shopping extravaganza, I decided to wear a more flattering pair of shorts (with flared layers on the front, mind you!) to hide the food bump later. Of course, I also made sure I wore my Pandora ring from their Summer collection to complete the look. Summer is just getting started. Scroll down to follow me on my Marina Bay adventures!

There’s a Chinese saying that says 台上一分鈡，台下十年功 which literally means, ten years of practice for one minute on the stage. I can’t agree more. Even though the Clozette Style Party only lasted for three days, it took the team many sleepless nights to prepare for one of their biggest Style Parties ever at Suntec City. Besides the Style Squad Show that I participated in, the party also featured a LIVE Runway Makeup Demo by popular YouTube celebrity, Morgan of The Beauty Breakdown fame as well as another runway show showcasing British online store, ASOS’s highly anticipated S/S 2016 collection. Everyone worked hard and our efforts definitely paid off as Clozette won much effusive praise from the media, our sponsors and of course, our esteemed guests! Kudos to everyone involved in the show! 👏 Psst! Even my husband, Bobby, got to strut his stuff on the runway! Haha! For those who’d missed it, don’t fret as I’ve compiled photos of the day’s highlights for your visual pleasure. Enjoy! Before The Show The calm before the storm… 🙏🏼 Chilling at Calla Spa before our runway show in a few hours! Actually, the picture above does not accurately convey how luxurious it was. Here’s a photo I took of fellow Clozetter,  Hannah  chilling like a boss at Calla Spa’s lounge. Clozette also did a pictorial tour around the premises. You can click here to check out the photos. Getting Ready It’s amazing how amidst the chaos, my Instagram husband, Bobby was still able to capture this flattering photo of me backstage. This sunkissed and totally wearable avant garde look was jointly created by LANEIGE (makeup) and REDS (hair). Don’t I look all ready for summer?? Haha! The Laneige makeup experts also decided I don’t need eyeliner or mascaras to enhance the my eyes. My Lolita Novalash extensions should suffice. *wink* Thank you Qiyun for sneaking backstage to fill our grumbling tummies with delicious snacks and nibbles! Fringe Activites Before the show, guests were also generously treated to delicious coffee from Cafebond, cookies by Famous Amos as well as beauty services by Milly’s and the Clozette team themselves! The Introduction The show opened with a Korean-inspired makeup demo by Morgan using products from Laneige. And here comes the highlight of the evening (for the Stryker household at least) – Bobby walking the runway! Haha! It was a Walk-Off challenge and unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), my dear husband was called up on the stage to show off his catwalking skills. This is where the ‘fortunate part’ comes, he actually won the contest and walked away with some cool ASOS shopping vouchers. Can you believe it? Never knew he had that in him. Haha! Let The Show Begin Yep. that’s me blowing a kiss to my beloved runway partner, Vinna ! Not only did the audience get to preview the new SS16 collection by ASOS, they also got to feast their eyes on some of the best designs from notable Asian designers such as BYSM, Womb, Straits Establishment, and Mporium. Here I’m wearing a very artistic watercolor-ed piece by  Ying the Label . After The Show It’s the mandatory ‘Picture Time’ with my good friends, Aggy and Qiyun! I was also very happy to finally meet Sin Yee, my Facebook friend of two years at the party. And of course, we can’t miss a photo opportunity like this. Say cheese! Behind every successful woman is a loving and supportive husband. The Double A Team – Agnes and Alex The ‘Just Got Engaged’ Lovebirds – June and Ben Awww… My beau and I. :* Clozette also made sure everyone bagged a bountiful bag of goodies that evening. And here’s what’s ‘rocking my boat’ from the party! The Goodie Bag Say hola to the ‘goodie’ that totally stood out from the bag – Laneige’s Two Tone Lip Bar in No. 12 Maxi Red . You probably can’t tell from the picture but the texture is actually quite buttery making it very easy to glide on your lips and thus also giving you a velvety, luxurious finish. Yay! This means bidding my lip wrinkles goodbye too. Haha! The Lip Bar also delivers a rather insane colour payout so you can get a pretty voluptuous pout with just a few swipes. Well, here’s the caveat. Because of its rich duo color combo, you also get two pretty intense colors which require a considerable amount of blending to create the desired ombre look. Demo courtesy of my good friend, Lavinia. 😛 Well, challenges are what make life interesting so I’m pretty sure with just a few applications, you’ll be able to master the ultimate blending technique and create your own exquisite gradient lips! All in all, I think it’s still a very imperative product to have in your makeup pouch. I give it 3.5/5 Honeyz crowns! And here’s my second favorite goodie from my Clozette party pack – Famous Amos cookies! Who can say no to these yummy little devils! Finally… The Clozette Style Party Beauty & Fashion Show featured many gorgeous ensembles by ASOS & Asian Designers for this season. We wouldn’t have been able to pull off so many looks in such a short amount of time without our talented glam squad. So here’s a huge shoutout to Laneige and REDS Hairdressing ! Thank you for making us feel beautiful and totally confident on stage! And of course, thank you Clozette for this unique and absolutely wonderful opportunity! We wuv you! Many of my friends as well as the Clozette team also covered the event in detail. You can click below for their posts. 🙂 Clozette   *   Clara   *   Agnes   *   Shu Hui    *   Janice So… Do you like the looks featured? Let me know by commenting below! Meanwhile, have a wonderful weekend and keep sparkling! Your friend Juliana #LolitaGroup #YingtheLabel #Novalash #Laneige #Clozette

When the going gets tough, the tough go SHOPPING! It’s been a manic few months of home renovation planning and projects at the studio, so it was really nice to get out of the frenzy and indulge in some shopping at CH Carolina Herrera’s Spring Inspiration event. Spring-Summer is a terrific time to challenge your fashion boundaries and inject some bright colours into your wardrobe! I was super excited to preview the CH Carolina Herrera Spring collection which consists of fun textures, soft fabrics and sophisticated styles. The new collection is so pretty, it almost turned my wallet topsy-turvy as I wanted to get everything from the launch! Haha! I first noticed Carolina Herrera’s work when they dressed Cheong Song Yi from the sensational Korean drama, My Love From Another Star. Remember her cute pyjamas and that glamourous white dress she wore at the red carpet scene? Her wardrobe was to-die-for. Needless to say, CH’s unique take on classic designs immediately caught my attention and they’ve been on my fashion radar ever since. This invitation from Elle Singapore was an honor and dream come true. Now keep scrolling to check out what they had up their sleeves this season! Photography by Bobby Stryker, editing by moi. 😛 Besides the opportunity to preview the gorgeous ensemble of looks created by renowned fashion stylist, Furqan Saini, we also got to bring home a classic leather bracelet from the much-coveted label! Psst! The bracelet can also double as a choker as seen here . Totally upping the accessories game with that one. 😛 There is a shade of red for every woman. ❣ Thank you CH Carolina Herrera and Elle Singapore for the lovely bracelet and exclusive invitation to your Spring collection launch! 💋 I hope you belles had fun going through this beautiful series with me too. What about you? What are your fashion staples this season? Your friend, Juliana #CHCarolinaHerrera
