Walking The "Kors"way

I heard from a lot of people that there were many events planned for the entire last week. I myself attended two - a mid-week M.A.C event and yesterday's Michael Kors store opening at 1 Utama. It was a medium-sized party and not too crowded, which was good. I liked what the organizers did to keep the event private - they erected blocks of "walls" to cordon off the party area so outsiders couldn't see what was happening inside, unless they sneak a peek from between those "walls".

I tagged along as Pam's plus one and got reunited with Vanessa and Fiona after a long time of not seeing them. There was a ribbon-cutting ceremony and speeches which makes up the normal fanfare of store launches. Michael Kors does have some really nice bags which is a definite plus point for me.

Shoes - A girl's dream come true

Spotted a few local personalities, but me being me, I hardly get starstruck. Food and wine was good though - there were mini burgers, some prawn thingy, pasta on spoon and chocolate mousse for dessert. Most of the time us girls were just taking the opportunity to catch up, do a bit of shopping and camwhoring, and then we headed for dinner after.

It was a rather fun night out on an otherwise dreary Friday.

M.A.C Glamour Daze Holiday Collection 2012

I attended the M.A.C Glamour Daze Holiday 2012 event at KLCC yesterday evening. I don't often get invited so it was rather delightful to receive an invitation.

I've always been a fan of M.A.C and am an avid user of their Studio Fix powder foundation. The colours in this collection has a sugary sweet base of powder pink, baby blue, mint green, soft brown and lilac. My eye makeup colours tend to be on the smokier side of neutrals, greys and charcoals as they provide better definition (I think). Perhaps its time to shake things up a bit by throwing out the old and bringing in the new. New year's resolution #1: Be more adventurous.

One thing I adore about M.A.C is their ability to come up with the most creative of packaging every season. This time around, the concept is very Boudoir-like, very sexy, with a hint of French accents.

Luscious bows decorate the clasps of the palettes - a nice finishing touch

My favourite items of the evening were the bright fuschia lipstick and the nail polishes. I was inspired by the Glamour Girls to coif my hair into a bouffant for the next party or event I attend.

In Pursuit of Leisure



Went for a leisurely lunch with Mum at Acme Bar and Coffee last Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves dining on the pasta and appetizer. The loft-like Acme, or better known as ABC, is tranquility personified amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Its unique location in the high-end Troika residences near KLCC draws families, young couples and expats who live around the vicinity. They have a mean breakfast menu but Mum and I decided to go for a filling lunch in order for our tummies to last until dinner time.

 

Acme is flooded with natural lighting - sometimes a bit too much it gets warm



 

Beautiful cake presentation

Right after lunch, got Mum to snap a few photos of my casual weekend attire. I combined a simple black peplum lace top and burgundy jeans that is as comfy as comfy gets. I've always thought coloured jeans adds ten pounds to the frame until I found this pair for an amazing GBP11.00 in London.
