Coco Lee's fairy tale wedding

Many of you must have heard or watched Kim Kardashian's wedding. It was very glamorous, fairy tale sort of wedding. They are divorcing already!! Anyway, that's all in America.

Over in Hong Kong, a famous and talented Taiwanese singer Coco Lee ,36, married her Jewish boyfriend, Bruce Rockowitz, 53, on 27th October. According to the news, they spent... I mean HE spent around US$20 million on their wedding! Who is Bruce Rockowitz? He is from Canada, he is the president and CEO of Li & Fung LTD ( a global trading company- Li & Fung LTD wesbite) and is a billionaire! They had a 2 day celebration, wedding ceremony at the Sky 100 and celebrated at a 6 star hotel, The Ritz- Carlton hotel. There were quite a few A-list celebs that were invited; Oprah Winfrey, the designer Tommy Hilfiger and his wife,  Alicia Keys, Black Eyes Peas , Ne-yo and Bruno Mars who performed at the wedding.

Not only was it a lavish wedding, Lee was looking lavish herself. From the pictures of her wedding, she looked absolutely stunning, beautiful, glamorous, you name it! I love all her dresses. She is wearing my wedding dress lol. I've always said I want a tight fitted and strapless wedding dress and look at her's... spot on! lol.

A wedding dress by designer Vera Wang,  worth  $33,000.

Another gorgeous dress! Again stunning! She has the perfect curves for the dress, actually she just has an amazing body. 

Walking down the aisle with her mum. Apparently she could hardly walk in the dress lol

Never mind about her husband, she looks gorgeous here. 

On the far left, is Alicia Keys with Bruce's two daughter and Coco Lee and Bruce himself. 

There's Ne-yo.

Looks like Lee was singing with Black eyes peas too.

Classy and glamorous dress! Love it!

Upgrade your boots this Autumn/Winter

This post was actually written last year winter but never got round to finishing it but still valid because Vogue says so!

When it's Autumn/ Winter boots are everywhere. Last year knee-high boots/ over-the-knee boots (OTK boots) was the new trend but not many got involved. This year it is back again so make sure you get a pair too. But when boots goes higher than the knee or even up to your thighs, definitely not many people are brave enough to rock them.

I have both OTK boots and TH boots (thigh high boots). At first I wasn't sure about them because people were calling them 'hoe boots', 'prostitute boots' or whatever the names are for them. So I started off with OTK boots. Then I got used to them and kind of thought they're not fierce enough, so decided to be more daring and bought a pair of TH boots. And I absolutely love them. Not only are they sexy, they keep you really warm and makes your legs look lean and long.

Here's me wearing my thigh high boots, I think my outfit is quite nice lol. I wore it to clubbing but it seriously was a bad idea because my legs were sweating and just wasn't comfortable.

The black leather thigh high boots goes with anything and has a catwoman feel to it lol. OTK and TH boots looks great over jeans, with long coats (Trench coats are hot this year), long tops and dresses. If you choose to wear a skirt with a pair of OTK boots or with TH boots, it might not be easy because not everyone can pull it off. It really depends on the occasion, for example it won't be suitable if you're going out for lunch/ a casual day out.

I think Kim pulled it off really well. Looks very sexy, a great Halloween outfit. And yes, got my inspiration from her outfit.

Other A-List Celebs rocking TH boots

If you think its a bit too much or not confident enough to wear them. Start off with knee high boots, flats ones. Then move on to ones with heels and then thigh high ones.

Don't want to spend money on new pair of boots? Well if you've got a pair of normal boots that reaches just below your knees and they are folded (cuff) at the top like this one:

Here's a cheat. Unfold it and it will extend just on or above your knee depending on the length of your legs.

That's me wearing my mum's boots, she's got shorter legs than me so  the flap  goes just above her knees. 

It's the count down for another H&M designer collection

It's November, who's saved up and looking forward to the big day, 17th NOVEMBER!!!

Versace for H&M Collection

This collection has designs for men and women, also homeware products like pillows and bed spread. Its a very edgy collection featuring a lot of bright colourful prints, some pieces has an oriental/ Japanese look and some has a tropical/ Hawaiian feel to it.

Eyelash Serum is my new best friend!

There is serum for everything these days; for hair, for skin (face) and even eyelashes! Ok, maybe not everything as I only pointed out 3 things.

A few weeks ago,  I was in Debenhams looking for a new mascara, I wanted try the expensive ones this time because I want to see the quality difference between those expensive brands and high street ones. I used to use Max Factor, Maybelline, Boots No.7, Bourjoise, they weren't bad. (I loved the Maxfactor False eyelash effect one.)

I happened to have stopped at Dior section. I said to the sales lady that every time I wear mascara, I always end up getting panda eyes at the end of a day. You would think she would start marketing Dior mascaras and how they won't do this and that because this and that. But she didn't really do that. She just said maybe I need to have more moisture on my lashes and then the mascara won't go flakey. So she recommended Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum (what a long name) where I have to apply it before which ever mascara brand I'm using.

Here's a close up of the brush. I took it with my iphone  so not very good.

In the end, I didn't buy a new mascara but bought that serum instead.

Does it work? Yes and no. You still get a little bit of mascara falling down but not to enough to give you panda eyes, otherwise I must say I love it and it is amazing!! I went clubbing over the weekend, I thought I'd end up with panda eyes after the night especially with the heat in there. But NO, I still looked hot! Lol!  Also I got to say not only does it moisturise your lashes, it also lengthens the lashes. Doesn't make the lashes clump, creates a really natural look. 

Videos of Fashion Shenzhen Catwalk show @ Vauxhall Fashion Scout

In my last blog I said that I helped out at the Fashion Shenzhen exhibition and will upload the footages I took at the catwalk show. Here you are, enjoy...

B.B. Cream wave is going to be big in the UK so 'Take Care'

What is BB Cream?
In one of my old posts, I've talked a little bit about BB Cream already but I'm going to talk more about it this time. BB Cream stands for Blemish Balm Cream. It has been very popular with Oriental Women.
Why? Because it's a cream that does everything. First like it says, it blemishes your skin. Most importantly, it has a sun block effect and whitening which is what all Oriental women are obsessed with.(Oriental women are obsessed with having clear and white skin. Freckles and dark spot are their enemies!) It can act also as as a primer/ base, foundation, concealer, keeps your skin moist for a very long time, evens your skin tone out. Basically, gives you a flawless looking skin! It even feels flawless, makes your skin really soft & silky.

BB Cream from other cosmetic brands

About 3 months ago, when my mum came back from Hong Kong she brought back some Hong Kong fashion and beauty magazines for me. Inside I saw cosmetic brands like MAC, Dior, Clinique, Estée Lauder, Biotherm, Bobbi Brown, Neutrogena, Lancome and many more have introduced BB Cream for their Asian customers. (Above and below) The magazine explained that some these brands have added new functions like; oil control, whitening and anti-ageing effect.

BB Cream from other cosmetic brands

I don't think you can buy all these in the UK, only some countries do them. Most probably countries in the east; China, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, etc as they are popular with Oriental women. I went to Debenham's the other day to see if I could find any of these. I just went to the Dior section and they didn't have it. But I', sure they will be available in the UK very soon. Because Garnier has just launched its first B.B. Cream - Miracle Skin Perfector (now you know why I said 'Take Care' in the title because that's Garnier's slogan). Some of you may have already seen it in the stores, magazines, TV or posters.

Like other B.B. Cream it can be used as a foundation, concealer and primer and has UV protection SPF 15 (I personally think that's not enough, at least SPF 25). It keeps the skin hydrated up to 24 hours and illuminates the skin. Garnier describes it as a daily all-in-one B.B. Cream.

I haven't tried it yet, because I still got 2 BB Creams from Missha. If anyone is using it please let me know if its good or not. lol. The B.B. Cream is definitely going to be the next big thing.

Fashion Shenzhen- Vauxhall Fashion Scout

Last year around this time, I was helping out at the China Image Film Festival and this year I helped out at the London Fashion Week. No, not exactly AT the London Fashion Week, hehe I wished! I helped out at one of the shows/exhibition at the Vauxhall Fashion Scout, the Fashion Shenzhen.

A little info about Fashion Shenzhen...
This is the third year that Fashion Shenzhen is taking place in London and the exhibition displayed lots of emerging brands and designers from Shenzhen, China. Read on and you'll see the pictures I took of the clothes.

What was I doing?
I was distributing leaflets outside the entrance to non-Chinese people (yep doesn't sound too exciting); I was told to aim at westerners in order to promote these Chinese Brands.When it was almost time for the catwalk show, I stood by the entrance directing people into the catwalk. I know doesn't sound too fun, it wasn't. I must say I enjoyed working at the China Image Film Festival last year more. But I still enjoyed myself because I enjoy meeting people and talking to strangers lol. And I saw some weird people, actually I take that back. I mean I saw people with some unique style lol.

These were the flyers that I had to hand out.

I had a look around at the exhibition during my break. Had some free food and drinks, they had finger foods like; prawn dumpling (dim sum), crispy spring roll, prawn toast, samosas, etc. Ok, I didn't go there for the food lol. But it was there and couldn't resist. Below are some pictures I took when I was at the exhibition.

Qi Pao- Traditional Chinese Dress

The dress above has a very Royal feel to it, probably because Chinese Emperors used wear gowns with these patterns/ dragon images on.

Other Qi Paos- the design wasn't all that but I guess they may look better once you wear them.

This looks like a maternity dress. If it's not one, I still think its a good dress for pregnant women if they were to attend some glamorous event/ red carpet event.

Dress from Lizzy

Out of all the outfits that were displayed this was the best one- in my opinion. This is a design from Lizzy, they had the best designs. But having saying that I wouldn't really wear their dresses because they were too over the top. More suitable for red carpet, proms, weddings, etc.

Dress from Océane

This is another one of the nicest outfit that was displayed at the exhibition. It's very sexy, sassy and glamorous. It will would perfect with a pair of black Louboutin or even silver.

Here's me at the exhibition posing lol. I was wearing a Julien MacDonald dress from the Diamond Collection, shoes are from Joy & Peace in Hong Kong. Don't think you can see my earrings; I'm wearing Rocawear earrings (yep, still into my hip hop brands lol). Without being big headed, I must say I think my hair looked quite nice that day lol. I didn't really style it, I was too much in a rush to do so. I just put a little bit of hair cream and just gave my hair a few scrunch. Less is more!

Posing again

Moving on to the weird people I said I saw there...
Some of you probably have seen this "lady"

Not the one on the left smiling lol, the one wearing a blue dress with the  big hair.

Not clear enough? Here's a closer view

Fixing up before going into the catwalk show since "she" will be sitting at the front row.

This is the closest picture I could get

The security guards there told me that this "lady" gets invited to sit at the front row of the catwalk shows every year. They said it's actually a man inside and every year he wears something similar outfits like this; the big hair. Have any of you guys seen him/ her?

I thought she looked like the character "L" from Death Note a Japanese Manga

The guy in the middle is "gangsta".  Love his shoes! LOL

I'll upload the pictures and footages I took of the catwalk show another time because the video takes time lol.
