Lunar New Year is just four days away. It is a must in our tradition to put on new clothes and shoes to welcome a brand new year. I have waited for the longest time to put on the Faye Front Ruffles Chiffon Blouse in Peru to welcome the year of Dragon. I love this number so much that I have specially kept it for the Lunar New Year. The front ruffles are gorgeous and are the highlighted details of this simple blouse. The ruffles fall back in place without ironing. The trick is to hang up the blouse right after washing. I am going to match it with a demin skirt. I prefer skirts more than jeans. Stylish and yet not lose the feminine side. Oh and not forgetting my favourite pair of ballerina flats.

I hardly do layering. Sometimes the sun can be rather unforgiving. But hey that is not going to make me a dull Jane in my attire. When I first saw the Rebecca Rocker Vest, I know I just have to bring this to my e-shop. Structured ruffles on a vest is the attraction. The ruffles are well crafted. One of my e-shop client said this look like an art piece. Yes, exact first impression. I love how it plays up a simple tank top immediately. The colour is so pleasing to the eye. Laundry care is as simple as the Faye Front Ruffles Chiffon Blouse.

If you like to keep your outfits simple and sophisticated, like I do, the two pieces above are for keeps. If you think wearing the auspicious red for Lunar New Year is so old fashion, put on some pastel shades. You can keep the black, white and blue for another time.

There is something about ruffles: soft, delicate, feminine, ethereal… the list could go on.

No surprise, Alexandra McQueen’s creative director Sarah Burton nailed the ruffles look with her underwater themed designs that was absolutely intriguing.

Over at Chanel, the feminine flounces can also been seen in the collection which was also inspired by the undersea.

Besides enabling one to look graceful, ruffles also enhance features on the body as they add volume.

Have a fabulous Year 2012

A party is never quite a party without the right outfit… picture yourself on New Year’s eve at a smashing party, in a dress that you have probably wore more than just a couple of times the past few months. It wouldn’t feel quite right!

To kick off to an awesome New Year, how about celebrating it in this classic little black number… with a twist? Any kind of celebration calls for something shiny, and this dress fits the bill; comprising of shoulder pads with an intriguing polished detail.

Prefer to stick to something simpler, but do not desire for it to be featureless either? Try this navy knife pleated dress with a ruffle hem for a feminine feel. Pair it with a contrasting blazer like yellow or kelly green for a more interesting appearance, or a lighter shade of blue for a monochromatic look.

For a more casual look, why not give this appealing blouse a try? Throw on a pair of dark denim high-waisted skinny jeans, glittering stilettos, an oversized clutch and you are good to go!

There are many more choices… how about this loud number? Or this delicate coral layered piece?

With as many affordable and wide variety of pieces you can get to choose from Queenbels, there is not reason you shouldn’t be looking your best when the clock strike midnight on the first of January!

Here’s wishing to a great New Year!

Cheers!
