Shiny Spider Speaks again... :)

It’s been awhile since there was any activity on this blog… Chopstix was busy with her exams and I, work. However, I’ve had a lot of chances to think about the blog per se. And I’ve been really trying to figure out is, in which direction we are headed? Should this blog be about what we love to wear? Advice on what to goes well with what…? Our favourite brands/non-brands…? What’s in, what’s not? What to wear and what not to….?
Needless to say random questions like this can drive anyone (a little) nuts.

Since I was 16, I’ve been pouring over glossy magazines, absorbing every little detail of outfits worn by the who’s who of tinseltown. The gorgeous clothes…endless legs looking gorgeous in sky high heels… And like most of my friends, I’d just sigh and say - oh, we could never pull that off!
Well, I hope that this blog can change that. No woman/girl is completely satisfied with their bodies… there are always some wobbly bits we’d like to hide, some part we wished were bigger, more rotund, haha, you get the picture. But no one’s perfect and that‘s fine. This blog is way more than just clothes and fashion.
It’s about you and us.
It’s about acceptance and doing what we love - and having a blast!

Cheers!

Things that your wardrobe should probably have..

1. Jeans
have at least 3 pairs in different shades and styles.
jeans don't require much handling and can be worn in both semi formal and casual ways.

2. Classic Dress
Usually classic dress would be your LBD (little black dress) but not necessarily.. you could wear them in any colour or style, just make sure you don't look trashy.


3.Tank Tops
best if you have them in a couple of colours, you could wear with a bulero or beads to add a little funk

4.Cardigans
best if you have a couple of colours (make sure u have at least 1 black), could be worn buttoned or with a tank top inside maybe

5.Formal Pants
you never know when u might need one.. interviews, formal dinners or even work.. (make sure they fit you just right..)

6.A big bag
to carry all your essentials and yet look trendy

7.Heels for all occasions
look fantastic with anything you wear :). make sure u have a pair in black (the most handy i assure you)


8.Summer Skirts
can be worn all through the year, but in summer nothing could be more comfortable than cotton skirts eh?

Flats
make sure u have both formal and casual flats that could be worn when your on the run or need to walk or run, you don't want to end up at a party with aching legs do you?




well, thats about it for now, come back to you soon
