Advertorial Strut your way down that aisle in style and elegance with Nail Indulgence De Beau’s bridal nail art. Why bridal nails, you ask? Because I attended three beautiful weddings this summer and was enlivened by that romantic atmosphere. 😛 Haha.. And then I was inspired! Wouldn’t you too? And this was how ‘Honeyz Gelish Nails Review – Bridal nails‘ was conceptualized. Please allow me to introduce you, the ‘STAR ★’ of this post! This is the color of the nails under natural lighting. This time, I’m going to present the nail art photo spread in a different fashion. It comes with a storyline! No no, not a wedding themed one. Just a simple pictorial story of a girl who met the love of her life (at Clarke Quay -> that was said with a dull tone). 😛 Oh wait! Before you jump into conclusions that this story is about me, I would like to clarify that the story is entirely fictional and the male lead is my good friend, YK. The photographs were beautifully taken so there will be minimal captions to keep distractions to a minimum. Here goes! At the bridge… Jul was waiting for JW (her sister). It’s been an hour and JW has not arrived. Jul decided to take a stroll while waiting for her sister to arrive. Jul: Ooh… That guy is cute! JW finally arrives after x hours. Jul: I saw this really cute guy! JW: Oooh.. Interesting! JW: I wanna meet him too At the cafe… Jul spot a familiar face at the cafe. Jul: It is that cute guy! Jul: Hey JW! There he is! JW: OMG! Where’s my make up kit?! MAKE UP! And he looks over. Jul blushes and JW got all excited. Jul: It’s the 21st century! I’ll make the first move! Jul: What do you think? JW: Go for it! Jul walks over. Jul: Hi! Jul: This is for you. Jul walks away immediately. YK: Hmm.. very bold but cute. YK: I shall reciprocate! Jul: OMG! JW: Woweee! Jul: Thank you. 🙂 The first date Jul waits for YK to arrive. This time the wait didn’t take X hours. The end. Credits Many many many thanks to YK and JW for starring in my post and YT for his amazing photography skills. You guys are the best!

Lilies of e Field ups the fashion ante this fall… Modern Kimono Top (Click here to see it on LOEF) Afterthoughts… This is one of the few LOEF tops I loved right off the bat. The fancy lace details and alluring navy color certainly adds poise to the entire ensemble. However it’s pretty low cut, so I’ll suggest that you wear a tube top or stick on fashion tape to prevent wardrobe malfunctions. I highly recommend the Hollywood Fashion Tape! Hollywood Fashion Tape From the pictures, I guess it’s not too hard to realize that the top wrinkles rather easily. But I love the design! It is great for the ‘weekend shopping look’. (I can’t wait to wear it again and strut down Orchard Road in style. *wink*) Material is soft and comfortable and workmanship is pretty decent too. I found the occasional loose threads though but they are no big deal since you can easily snip them off. For its casual-meets-stylish look, I’m giving it 4 Honeyz crowns. Ruched Jersey Dress (Click here to view it on LOEF) Afterthoughts… LOEF’s clothes have been nothing short of impressive. And this pretty number certainly rides on that reputation too. Actually, it reminds me of Kim Kardeshian’s much heralded red carpet style. Fancy top and tight bottoms. Credits to realitytvmagazine.sheknows.com I like how the loose top balances the overall look with its tight bottom. However, the dress has a tendency to ride up but since it isn’t too short it does not bother me that much. It looks short in the photos because I tried to create the ruched look at the bottom on top of its already ruched design. The dress has no inner lining so a ‘no visible panty line (vpl)’ underwear is highly recommended to avoid unsightly panty lines. Workmanship is pretty good. No loose stitches. All in all, I’ll give this 3.5 Honeyz crowns out of 5. I thought the material could have been thicker. Models That’s the end of my LOEF fashion review for this week. More exciting stuff coming up next week! Have fun experimenting with those fashion ideas and I’ll talk to you soon! P.S. Click here to view ‘Behind-the-scenes’ photos.

Put style on a pedestal. Tulip Bandage in Black (Click here to view it on LOEF) Afterthoughts… As mentioned two posts ago, this season calls for the minimalist approach in fashion and probably with an additional dose of sultry appeal too. And this skirt fits the bill perfectly. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this bandage skirt was ‘OMG it’s a Herve Leger’. I was instantly drawn to it and I thought its tulip feature makes it even more appealing. The quality is great too. Material is thick and workmanship is good. Surface is slightly rough though. The skirt fits beautifully. However, I thought it was a little short for my liking. But it doesn’t ride up, so this problem didn’t bother me for long. Great piece for party nights in the clubs but a tad short for the workplace. All in all, I give this 4.5 Honeyz crowns for its favourable price and quality. (FYI, it costs SGD26) Bellora II (Click here to view it on LOEF) Afterthoughts This fall, I’m subscribing to a more ladylike style and I thought this dress exhibits the right amount of femininity with its nude pink hue and flowy style. I absolutely love the duo-color sew-on sash. One side is black and the other is nude pink. Picture credits: Lilies of a Field LOEF’s model wore the dress in the above fashion with the sash tied in a large bow in front. Very cute. In our photoshoot, I decided to experiment another look by tying the bow at the back to demonstrate its versatility. This style hides the bulgy tummy pretty well! Workmanship and material is good. It is extremely comfortable to wear. But! The dress wrinkles rather easily. So thumbs down to that. This is THE alluring dress for that perfect date and also THE conservative dress that is appropriate for the workplace. Overall, an absolutely stunning piece and I’m giving it 4 Honeyz crowns. Not a fan of its wrinkle-prone fabric. Alright, fashion-forward femes, we’ve come to the end of this post. If you have any comments or questions regarding the reviews, please feel free to contact me at honeyz@ilovebunny.net or Formspring me by filling in your question in the Formspring plugin on your left.

Add panache to your fashion wardrobe with Lilies of e Field! Oversized Shirt in Green (Click here to see it on LOEF) Afterthoughts… This little pistachio definitely loves the camera! It looks gorgeous in every picture! I like that the material is very thin and soft – this makes it very comfortable. It is kind of like a relaxed fit shirt. Great for summery days! Simultaneously, the thinness of the material makes it really stylish. I always thought thick shirts are too serious – they belong to the workplace. Well, just a personal opinion, feel free to disagree. 🙂 Of course, the stylish thin fabric is tagged with a price – it is pretty sheer. Nude bra is recommended. If you still feel ‘overexposed’, wear a tube or petticoat top underneath. Don’t worry, these additions do not compromise on the style. It also wrinkles rather easily. But that doesn’t affect me much. In fact, I thought the wrinkled look makes me look even more stylish! All in all, I love the top, notwithstanding the little imperfections that I’ve highlighted. 4.5 Honeyz crowns! Pleated Shorts in Pink (Click here to see it on LOEF) Afterthoughts… Saunter into a party in this flirty number and I’m sure you’re gonna turn heads! Sometimes, I feel that I allow myself to fall victim to fashion trends and this essentially kills any goal to create my personal style. So I decided to pick something that is not exactly a hot favorite amongst fashionistas this time around. Many are into tight high waist shorts these days, and this pretty thing sure runs to the opposite side of the fashion spectrum with its low waist feature and flares. Surprisingly, I loved it! It hid my heavy bottom well and created the illusion of slimmer legs with its huge cutting. The pastel pink shade adds a tinge of femininity to the overall look too. However, the skorts (skirts + shorts) were slightly big for my 25 inches waist. I had to alter it slightly before the shoot. I like the elastic band at the back and I thought it is great for the ‘bloated days’. Material and workmanship is also pretty good. No unfavorable comments about them. 4 Honeyz crowns for this piece. You should get one too! (It’s selling like hot cakes in LOEF by the way.) Models In case you’re wondering where regular feature ‘Behind the scenes’ has gone to. I’ve uploaded the photos on Honeyz Facebook page instead. Check them out here ! Alright, that wraps it up for me. Keep that awesome style going!

Revisiting the minimalist style. I’ve discarded the accessories – the chains, the bangles, the head bands and the busy dresses and opted for a neat and simple look in this photo shoot (Well, except the grotesque shoes). Each look is made up of less than 5 items. Today’s attention is on Lilies of e field (LOEF) . Owner, HL, sent me some of LOEF’s prettiest outfits for my review. 😀 It was certainly elating to see a huge parcel of clothes sitting on my vanity table after a hard day at work. BUT! Be rest assured that the comments made in this review are 100% genuine as HL has insisted that I express my true thoughts of her clothes and that I should not hesitate to give unsatisfactory remarks should there be any. (Hence, this is not an advertorial.) She sent me eight pieces, and I’ve decided to review two in each post. So here goes. My first installment of Lilies of e Field Fashion Review. Military Chiffon Top in Tangerine (Click here to see it on LOEF) Afterthoughts… I love the way the top was given a military spin with the shoulder pads and gold buttons which evokes nothing but style. It exudes this professional image and yet the tangerine color makes it looks chic at the same time. A perfect blend of fun and glam! The workmanship is pretty decent too. Buttons were sewn on firmly. No loose threads found. However, the sheerness of the material threw me off a little. To top it off, the sides are pretty huge too so this means the bra may be visible. As such, I strongly advise you to wear a tube top. The fabric is also pretty rough but it does not make it uncomfortable to wear. All things considered, I’m giving this 4.5 Honeyz crowns. Even though I did not like the sheerness part, I thought the design and good workmanship have transcended this imperfection. What do you think? Studded O/S Tunic (Click here to see it on LOEF) Afterthoughts… JW rocked this dress! 😀 I’ve always loved tunics as they keep my bulgy tummy out of sight. And they are perfect for weekend shopping, seaside frolics and school. The material of this dress is cotton (like T-shirt material) so it crumples easily. However, it is very comfortable. I feel like I’m wearing an oversized T-shirt. So that offsets the crumpling part. 😛 Wear this as a dress or revamp the look by wearing it as a top. Two looks for the price of one! Yay! (If you have a longer torso, the tunic might be too short to wear as a dress.) Fashion tape is recommended as it is rather low cut. Material is slightly sheer too. So good to wear a tube top underneath. I’m really into 80s fashion now, so the studs on the dress works for me. Overall, very tasteful piece so 4 Honeyz crowns! Models Juliana and JW Once again, I hope you guys have enjoyed this edition of Honeyz Fashion Review. I’ve been receiving requests from many of you to do make up tutorials and more beauty reviews.

“Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere.” – Mary Schmich I am strongly inspired by this quote and deeply believe in the notion that reading empowers a person. Moreover, reading… Enhances smarts and memory Kills boredom Boosts reasoning and analytical skills Builds self-esteem (Now that you are more knowledgeable) Helps you become a better orator (In a particular subject matter) So cultivate the habit of reading today!

The topics include: Career, Fashion and Style, Relationships, Lifestyle, Travels, etc. One of my most favorite: ‘Women, Work & the Art of Savoir Faire: Business Sense & Sensibility’ by Mireille Guiliano where Guiliano tells of her experiences as the CEO of Veuve Clicquot and how she overcame problems in a male-dominated work environment. She also offered many useful tips for workplace survival for women. Tempted to visit the store yet? Here’s a simple navigation guide. If you would like to browse by categories, you may click on the titles under ‘Browse by Category’ as shown below.

Shrieks! Does your hair look like that? I hope not. Raise your hand if you ever envied Disney Princess, Pocahontas’ long luscious hair! Picture Credits: Wikipedia *raising my hand up high* I used to be really amazed by how she could effortlessly maintain her straight and silky hair even when she is leaping off cliffs and swimming into waterfalls all the time. (Childhood fantasy.) Every woman dreams of having long lustrous locks and this dream becomes more enthralling when a ‘big night’ such as prom, a wedding dinner or the long awaited date is around the corner. (Because we all know that our hair affects our looks to a very LARGE extent.) See what bad hair does to your overall appearance. Do you often find yourself amid the wreckage of a bad hair day like this? Unhealthy and frizzy hair not only makes you look unkempt and listless, it also makes you feel less confident. And this is NOT how a Honeyz girl should be. “This is hopeless. What should I do??” Remedy please!!! Well, I’ve got good news for you. I found a great product that can effectively curb this problem and relive your childhood fantasy! “Really?” Yes! Quench your parched locks with… Dove Damage Therapy Intense Repair Treatment Hair Mask! Dove was first launched by consumer goods behemoth, Unilever in the 1950s. Since then, Dove has been providing consumers an extensive range of value-for-money beauty products. I’ve always been a huge fan of Dove and recently demonstrated my love by liking their Facebook Page . That paid off as I noticed their FB page was giving away free samples of their new Dove Therapy Intense Damage Treatment Hair Mask so I decided to redeem one too. The sample arrived within two weeks. Hang on! I just realised this sounds very much like an advertorial. Just a clarification. I am in no way affiliated to Dove and the introduction sounds favorable because this is indeed a very fantastic product! To play safe, I’m placing my disclaimer here instead. 🙂 Disclaimer: Do keep in mind that reviews are entirely subjective. It is normal to have differing views so please don’t hate me if I didn’t speak well of your favourite product. I definitely have no intentions of distorting the image of any brand. Well, to each his own, isn’t it? Peace! Seriously, I love this thing so much. The texture of the mask is rather thick. So I’ll usually just apply a dollar coin-sized dollop of the mask to my tresses during deep-conditioning treatments. Here’s a close up of the mask for your reference. Have you guys realised that Dove products have a rather distinctive smell? I think I can literally smell a Dove user out from a group of people. Well, the reason why I brought this up is because I thought this mask enhances that smell on your hair by tenfold. If you’ve always been a fan of the signature Dove scent, you’ll love this baby. My hair has been in a bad state for the longest time. It lacks luster and is extremely dry and coarse (Thus the tousled look all the time). I believe you would have noticed that from the pictures of the fashion shoots. After using Dove’s treatment mask, I thought it was pretty nourishing to my dried locks and even made them look glossier. I could see the improved texture of my hair after one use. Pictures below! (Do note that I also trimmed my hair slightly before this shoot.) Pretty significant improvement, eh? And this was after a second use. Close up! Mummy used it on her frizzy and permed hair too. Before using Dove Treatment Mask… After using the treatment mask… Juxtaposed both photos for comparison. Hairsplitting difference? (Attempting a pun. :P) I don’t think so. It is blatantly obvious that my mum’s hair became silkier and shiner and the frizziness was totally tamed just after one use. I liked it so much, I bought a 200ml tub of the treatment mask! I’m wearing Megagamine’s (MGG) Boho Tie Blouse in Kelly Green by the way. I also bought the Dove Hair Fall Therapy Treatment Mask. These masks retails at Guardian Pharmacy at S$10.90. Psst! I bought mine at Swanstons and Ocean at People’s Park Market at S$4.20 and S$8.50 respectively. All in all, I give this baby 4.5 Honeyz Crowns out of 5. The strong fragrance can be overwhelming at times, otherwise I think this is a great Dry Hair Savior. Of course, you don’t have to take my word for it. Try it yourself by redeeming your Dove Free Sample today! -> Honeyz Free Samples As per ‘Honeyz Beauty Review’ tradition, I’m culminating this post with some hair care tips! Do you know that a person can lose between 75 and 100 strands of hair everyday? And this does not even include hair strands that break! The following pointers will help you prevent further hair breakage. Dry hair is more vulnerable to breakage as it is more brittle than normal hair. So use less styling products as they cause hair to become drier. Try not to brush or comb your hair too often as this will cause hair to become weak. I brush my hair once a day and that is before I rinse off my hair conditioner so that my hair absorbs the moisture more evenly. Don’t wash your hair everyday as too much washing will make your hair dry. Let the natural oils moisturize your hair. Wear your hair up when you’re going to be active and this will prevent breakage. A diet rich in protein is great for hair growth. I often indulge in yogurt (which is a great source of protein) after dinner. Other high-protein food: beans, fish, meat, nuts and seeds. After hair wash, try not to rub your hair dry with your towel as it will cause your hair to tangle. Instead, dry your hair by blotting the water out of your wet hair. Trim your hair once every three months to prevent split ends. After exposure to sunlight and to salt water and chlorine, deep conditioning of hair is needed. Use Dove’s Treatment Mask! Stride your way to healthy looking hair today! Love, Juliana #beautyreview #beauty #beautytips #dove #hairproducts #dovereview

I’m finally back from my ‘Fashion Sabbatical’! Apologies for the hiatus as I’ve been really busy with work and events lately. I attended a nice wedding, went to the museum to see the legendary Terracotta Warriors, met up with old friends and attended the ‘Miss Singapore World Pageant’! Bernice, Miss Thailand and me. She’s gorgeous, isn’t she? Anyway, I hope you ladies are having a great day so far and all ready to hit the online malls for your weekly shopping extravaganza. But before you throw your budget all out of whack with those online purchases, here are my reviews for this edition. 🙂 Kourtney Floral Skirt in Black Afterthoughts… I’m a sucker for floral prints so this flowery number definitely caught my attention. It doesn’t help that it’s a tulip skirt. Tulip skirts are all the rage these days. I spotted many girls donning tulip skirts when I was shopping in town. There’s no question why since tulip skirts are well known to flatter any body shape and hide any unwanted bulges. The material of this skirt is great and the workmanship is just as good. It comes with an inner garment layer so it’s not sheer even under sunlight. The down side: Ironing this skirt was quite a drag as the hem tend to ‘extend’ after wash. I’m not sure if this is due to an expansion of the inner lining fabric. Not an expert on textile. Overall, I thought this is a pretty good buy as it hides my heavy bottom pretty well and creates the illusion for slimmer legs with its slightly flared hem. I’m giving it four out of five Honeyz crowns! Romantic Chiffon Sleeve Dress in Lavender Afterthoughts… I thought this is a pretty interesting piece. The chiffon material is so delicate that it looks like you’re wearing a layer of lilac mist. Very feminine. The three quarter sleeves also adds a touch of beauty and class to this dress. It comes with a removable petticoat. The material is of a pretty good quality. However, I thought the workmanship of the dress could be better. It is not exactly shoddy but I would say it was probably done without sufficient attention. Here’s why. One of the straps of the petticoat was actually sewn on the wrong side of the fabric. Other than this, the workmanship of this dress is pretty decent. I think this dress deserves three Honeyz crowns. Not surprisingly, the poor quality of the workmanship cost it two Honeyz crowns. But still a worthy buy in my opinion. Great design, cutting and material. Models Thank you for your continued support. Have a terrific weekend!

Always bored on a plane? In particular, a budget airline’s airplane? I hear you! ‘Honeyz Travel Tips’ to the rescue! Today, I’m going to interject my fashion reviews with this post on things non-aerophiles can do when they are bored on an airplane. Budget flights = No frills flight -> This also means NO entertainment, space, food or service. So it can get really boring and even claustrophobic at times. Alas, it is still a mandatory process we have to go through before we get to paradise (I’m assuming you’re going on a holiday.) Well, fret not! Eradicate that boredom with the following tips. (This might be good for aerophobes too. Good form of distraction.) First up.. before the plane takes off… 1) Apply skin moisturizers! That is like the utmost important thing to do as air in an aircraft is much drier than air on Earth and this can cause dehydration. (Dehydration can cause dry itchy skin, bloodshot eyes and a dry and irritated nose.) The dry air in the cabin also strips your skin off its much needed moisture and this happens the very minute you board the plane! Not good. So load up on moisturizers (preferably the serum type) and drink lots of fluids to prevent dehydration. 2) Next, buckle up! And this is demonstrated by pretty Zel. Next up. 3) Take loads of pictures! (Before the plane takes off, that is. You don’t want to cause interference with any communication equipment of the plane. ) To kill boredom and to calm nerves caused by aerophobia. 4) Check out the inflight menu! Most of them are pretty expensive anyway. 5) So probably good to eat your ‘smuggled’ food. OR! 6) Try the pastries offered by the airline. Other random things you can do… 7) Compare buns with your neighbor. (No pun intended) Hmmz.. the right bun looks more bloated than the left one 8) Since you’re in mid-air now, great time to take pictures of the huge marshmallow clouds outside your window. Slow flight…. yawn… Feeling sluggish? 9) Go to sleep! Flying is the best time to catch up on sleep. Can’t sleep?? Wait! I have more suggestions! 10) Polish your silver jewelry! I bet you never had time to polish those oxidised silver. This is the best time to do it. 11) Check out the inflight reads! There are pretty good inflight magazines on the plane. Perfect time to check out great DFS deals – perfumes, cosmetics, alcohol and interesting accounts of other travel destinations by the airline travel magazine. 12) Chat up with your neighbor! Great time to practice flirting. 😛 13) Play with your ipad! Use this time to practice mahjong skills, compose a song, watch a movie, etc. Bored playing alone on your tablet? 14) Invite your neighbor too! Challenge them to a game of chess! This is actually my first installment of ‘Honeyz Travel: Beautiful Bali Wedding’. I attended my good friend, Wenny’s wedding in Bali recently. And I thought it is one of the most beautiful and romantic weddings that I’ve ever attended. So I’m documenting my trip to her bali wedding with a series of Honeyz Travel posts. Check out the preview of the next ‘Honeyz Travel: Beautiful Bali Wedding‘ post. Hills and waters beneath a veil of sunlight. Beautiful eh? Picture Credits: (In order of appearance) Jo Zel Lave Ved Hock MC and Ken Bok Thanks guys for starring in my post. Meanwhile, I hope you gorgeous ladies are looking forward to my next Honeyz Travel post already. (They could provide great ideas and tips for your wedding or honeymoon! :P) Thanks for reading and have a great flight! I mean night! Love, Juliana #bali #Photography #travel

Another expression of my brewing passion for fashion… Hola! I hope you gorgeous ladies have had a great long weekend. Have you also done lots of online shopping during this period? Stop! Before you hit the buy button again, I’m back with another fashion review to justify your purchase decision. Read on! Agneselle Kim Asymmetrical Band Toga Dress in Black Afterthoughts… I think this could be one of AE’s most covetable dresses ever. Good material? Checked. Accentuates curves? Checked. Good craftsmanship? Checked. Sexy yet classy? Double checked! No riding up effect for me. This is like the utmost important criteria for me when it comes to body hugging dresses. The dress comes in many juicy hues such as jewel blue, raspberry, cream and grey. And I picked the black one as it reminds me of Gabrielle Chanel’s classy style but with an added tinge of gamine in it. The asymmetrical contrast waist band is really unique and I thought this feature actually draws attention away from the tummy area. However, I thought this dress felt slightly tight when I sit down but it is not suffocating though. As a whole, I thought this dress is a pretty good buy. I’m awarding it a 9 out of 10! Go get yours too! Summer Dash 1’s Sarah Chiffon Blue Top Jetsetting! Afterthoughts I thought this is a rather understated piece. But still a worthy buy! You can easily go the other way (the flamboyant way that is) by pairing it with with a pencil skirt or pants for a chic corporate look or transform into a travel or beach goddess by matching it with a pair of cute denim shorts. I like chiffon tops that are adorned with ruffles like this. Less boring and less focus on the ‘less-endowed’ figure. 😛 It comes with a complimentary black spaghetti strap (petticoat top) as the top alone is pretty sheer. But not to worry, the material does not compromise the durability (I know that because I was pretty harsh with it while changing. :P) The material feels really soft and hence, it’s very comfortable to wear. All in all, a 10 out of 10. The material was nothing short of high quality. Basically, I saw no flaws. Model Behind the scenes… The main lead. Ooh la la! I was one of the first 60 customers to purchase from AE in this collection and was rewarded with a John Galliano Parlez-Moi d’Amour fragrances sample vial. Fun shots Attempting sexy… Grrr.. wild cat! Ok. Epic fail. Also played with Instagram while resting… I’m addicted to this thing! Alright! That’s all fashion-forward folks! Once again, thank you for reading.
